A Solid and Conservative Document.
(Biddeford Journal. J

The message of Governor Powers,
which the Journal gives in full in TINS
issue, is a solid and conservative docu-
ment. There is no endless string Of
recommendations on every conceivable
subject, such as we see charactize the
messages in many other states. On two
or three points of chief interest the gov
ernor speaks unhesitatingly and forcibiy
and leaves all general Legislation to the
initiative of the Legislature itself.
He reviews carefully the action of the
executive department in putting Name
troops in the field at the outbreak OF the
late war. and rightly urges the payment
of all the bills without waiting for re-
tmbursement by the general government.
The. plain story of the executive makes
1t clear how needless would have been
any special session of the Legislature.
but also shows that the Legislature now
has work to perform.
His recommendations that the Eastern
Maine Insane Hospital should be attend
ed to this year is one that deserves solid
consideration. Naturally. other ''spec-
ialties will have to take the side-trac k.

The sale of season tickets for the
Opera Company begins this morning
This marks an important event in
Honolulu's histrionic and musical his
tory. Never before has such an idea
been more than contemplated in this
city. All the theatrical goers have
pinned for an opera season for many
years. Engagements have been played
in the legitimate and IN comedy and
in melodrama. Even the coon min
strel show has enjoyed a brief reign
at the opera house. Still the music

longed for productions OF the operas
they had either heard of or seen. II
remained for Robert Scott, the lover
of beautiful and artistic dramatic pro
auctions, to take upon himself the
securing of an opera company. No one
better fitted could have taken up the
idea. And since the proposed season
was first mentioned in this paper Mr.
Scott has been met on all sides with
encouragement. The choice Of the Ii
wolf company was a wise one. Other
organizations may be better known in
the eastern part of the United States.
but up and down the Coast the Tivoli

mind the only theater in the West Civ
en- up entirely to opera. OF their abil-
ity Honolulu people may judge after
seeing them in the old familiars 3"
such as Faust" III Trovatore." Pin

The undertaking is one of great i'm
portance to Honolulu. AS the great
Eastern managers watch the reception
of productions in San Francisco, so
will the theatrical magnates of the
West keep an eye upon Honolulu's
support of the first opera company to
come to this city.

 An American recently arrived in London from q southern city. and be- Ing in haste to continue his Journey to Paris. hired a eaBman to take him on one Of his eFrands. Handing the man 9 two shilling piece. he directed him to q certain number in New Bond street. After seating himself in the cab, the passenger waited for several minutes, expecting the horse to start At last he left the cab and found the driver on the box inspeetia tle coin, which was double the usfal fare What is the natter" asked the in- dignant traveller. .1This seems to be very small coin for so long a distance, 2 was the sufly response. The Ameri- can smiled grimly and remarked that the cabman could drive him at once to Scotland Yard AS this is the head quarters of the police the driver per ceiYed that the American was not man to be sWindled. "IIl drive you to New Bond street" he remarked promptly, # you will get in, sir" Wait a moment" said the American. T want you to look me over carefully Now tell me, he continued. what it was in my appearance that led you to think me an idiot. Was 1t my hat or my collar, or the cut of my oyercoat? l have already paid you double fare for the distance have asked you to go. but I'll give you as much more if you will tell me wha5 there is in n4y. gen. eral makeup that encouraged you to believe that I could be fool enough to allow you to cheat me- The cabman by this time looked sheepish and un= comfortable. T took you for an Am eriean, sir he said, and thought I could work another shilling out of you Here is one Of the shiIHngs you gave me and I am ready to drive you to New Bond street" The American had made two mistakes. He ought not to have paid double fare, and he ought not 10 have paid in advance. By violating The ordinary rules observed by people who hire London cabs, he encouraged the cabman to sWind1e him The most jQdieious course for a traveller in a foreign country is to learn the customs of the people in it. and not throw away money by overpaying cabmen and tip ping servants too generously.-Youth's
