We do desire, however, to say a
few words in regard to the indis.
Greet manner, in which the arrest
was made, which shows the exist
ence of system that the Marshal
should abandon at once, and which
was never tolerated by his predeces-
sors.

A gentleman, well-known in the
community, and whose name, resi-
dence and place of business are
known to every police officer, is
driving along the main thorough
fare with lady friend of high social
position. Two police officers, who,
somewhat to the surprise of their
acquaintance, claim to be experts
on all questions pertaining to horses
and their speed, decide, that the
gentleman is driving furiously and
heedlessly. They chase him up and
stop his>horse, and insist in dragging
him and the lady to the police
station.

Now, what can be accomplished
in London, certainly can be done
here. 1t is within the Marshals

In London, the largest city in the
world, no gentleman is ever arrested
or yanked to a police station for fast
driving or scorching or other mis-
demeanors, as long as he is sober
and acting respectfully. He will be
stopped, as soon as police officer
sees him, and he will be asked his
name and address, and be invited to
not repeat the offence and to appear
in the police court the following
morning Should he choose to give
wrong name and address, the
whole police force will scour Lon
don until he is found and then woe
to him.

Realizing, that it would be USE
less to argue with the men clothed
in blue breaches and brief authority,
the driver suggests that he take the
lady home, and then report at the
station. Mr.. Dole's gallant and
gentlemanly employees, however,
could. not accept proposition,
which would have deprived them of
the satisfaction of dragging two
prominent society people through
the streets, as if they were common
criminal.

When the Legislature provides
for arrests by penal summons in
stead OF by warrant, it was done for
the sake of showing that Hawaii
follows the methods Of civilized
countries. Formerly man charged
with committing trivial INSIDE
meanor was arrested by warrant,
and put to the Inconvenience of fur
nishing bail for his appearance, al
though, the authorities knew that
he had no intention Of Sinking his
responsibility. and would appear in
court whenever he was wanted. By
the institution of the penal sum-
mons, step in the right direction
was taken, and it was hoped that
our authorities would follow in the
wake Of civilization all along the
line.

That "wave Of prosperity" is here.
From the day Of the passage of the
new tariff law will date the era of
prosperity. Even some of our popu-
list friends are forced to admit it,,
although much against their will, as
it means decentralization of the pop
party, With the free sill yer idea ex-
ploded, with wheat going up and
silver down, with cattle a good price
and hogs from 40 cents to 80 cents
higher than they were on last election
day, it is no wonder that there is
CONSERVATION in the pop party.

HONORABLES IN MAINE.
Distinctions Made In OHhciai Titlcs by
Pine Tree State Etiquette

Distinctions Made In OHiciai Titles by
Pine Tree State Etiquette.
There is form of Official etiquette
in the correspondence which goes out
frOIn the secretary of states Office
which is unlike that followed in any of
the New England states. According
to the rulings of the secretary-and he
is simply carrying out the traditions of
his predecessors since Maine became a
state in lS20-the Judges of the supreme
and superior courts. the members OF he
governors council, the senator's. the
heads of all the departments and the
mayors of Names cities have their mail
addressed to them with the word Hon
orable" prefixed to the name in every
case, while the bcrs of the house of
representatives,, the judges of the mu-
nicipal courts in the cities-whose sal
aries in some cases exceed that paid TO
the governor-and all minor offcehold-
ers must content themselves with the
term esquire" following their names.
AS for the governor. he is always ad-
dressed as His Excellency."
Other New England Massa-
chuse'ts and New Hampshire in partic-
ular-are more liberal in the distribu-
tion of titles. for they prefix Hon
orable" to municipal judges, repre-
sentatves and aldermen in the various
cities. 1t is probable that Maine Is the
only state where "A municipal judge can
be addressed verbally as Your Honor"
but is not entitled to the prefix of THE
Honorable"

full Adopts.
The really amusing feature of slang,
says a writer in the Illustrated Ameri-
can, is notthe expression itself so much
as the delicate and fanciful application
of it made by sllillful hands. ''Dontcher
know has been established SO exten-
sively and generally that the listeners
ear takes no more notice Of it than of
q punctuation mark. Nevertheless, it
is an irritation to hear it constantly
repeated. "You understand me, you
see what mean?" thrown in at the end
of every sentence, even though the
conversation may be about the sim
plest matter, causes q nervous intelli-
gent auditor to feel that he is being
mistaken for On imbecile. To ask man
with special emphasis If he under
stands, when the subject before him
would be understood by child of
two, borders on insult. The good-hu-
mored, pachydermatous speaker has
no appreciation Of the irritation he
is causing nor of the keen sarcasm of
the occasional reply he eicits. Slang
seems to be the natural mode of ex-
preston for the boy at school and col
lege. From him it spreads to his sis
ters, and not to know the meaning of
all the complicated and arbitrary terms
argues ones self out of the world OF
youth. To be in sympathy with it one
must have at least a bowling acquaint-
ance with this strange and ephemeral
language.
