HAWAIIAN SOLONS

Executive and Legislative Branches of Govern

HONOLULU, May 4, via San Francisco,
May 1O.-The first territorial legislature
of Hawaii came to an end on the even
Ing of April 80, according to Gov. Dole.
and on the next night according to the
majority of both houses. The legislature
ended Its existence at loggerheads with
the governor all along the line, and
without having passed single one of the
important measures to which the home
rulers We're committed, except the county
government act, which the governor kill
ea by a vest pocket veto.
The last act of the house on the evan-
ing OF the 3Oth was to pass a concur
rent resolution containing a memorial
TO President Mckinley asking for the
removal OF Gov. Dole. He is charged
with having hindered the work of the
session by his hostility toward the leg
islature, Withholding information and re-
ports that We're called for, and refusing
TO cooperate with the law makers. The
president is asked to use his influence

HaWalians claim they had not had time
IN which to work out the plans of law

JAPANESE
Their Work La Too Subtle for the
Average Americans APP
probation,

The Japanese are credited with o
monkeylike desire to copy everything
European. This is true only to a
very small extent-at least to-day,
says Poultney Bigelow, in Harper's.
The more we study the Japanese the
more We see that he takes the good
where he finds it, and does not ad-
mire a thing merely because it is
from abroad. European drama, mu-
sic and painting leave the Japanese
cold-the very things we might fairly
assume to be worth their admiration.
One day Kotaka, who does not care
for music, allowed me to escort his
wife to a grand concert of the Sym
phony society, given in the hall of the
Academy of Music in Uyeno park, at
1880. The orchestra was all Jap
anese, clothed in European evening
dress, IL pieces in all. The pro-
gramme was printed in English, and
the tickets cost one dollar apiece,
which is a monstrous price for Japan.
1t was a European building, and the
Interior, for ugliness, was like the
ordinary American country meeting
house. Everything that was cult.
waited, rich and swell in Tokyo so
ciety turned up here, whether for
eign OF domestic. There was some
thing to suit every taste. The or
chestra would play a Mascagni inter.
mezzo, and while it rested there
would be a flute and samsin per.
Torrance by popular artists in ma
tive gowns. The symphony dozen sat
m a1aS~r, A. I'D
squatted down at the front of the
stage. There would be solos and
duos of Beethoven and Diabelli per-
formed by German amateurs, and
then a native song by Matsunaga and
others in native dress, who formed
a violent contrast, yet reaped ap-
plause beyond anything given to the
white mans melody, even when per-
formed by IL musicians of Japan.
Mrs. Kotaka listened attentively to
the white mans music, and I fol-
lowed with equal attention that of
the yellow composers. I asked her
what she thought of Beethoven and
Mascagni. She thought they were
interesting, but not so satisfactory
from the standpoint of music as the
composers of her own country. She
the efforts of Schumann
and Arthur Sullivan much as we
sit through a concert of bag
pipes, or the work of some amateurs
whose feelings we did not wish to
hurt. And Mrs. Kotaka is a lady
thoroughly trained in musical mat
ters, a famous performer both in
and vocally. That we
do not initiate japanese music while
are copying so much from that |
artistic nation is to my mind but a
proof that their work in that field
is too subtle for us, lies too fas be-

They Receive Quick Returns o
bright Ideas-The Other Half
of the CartOOnist.

Caricaturists' ideas for funny pic
.ures often run low. They say that
their hands do not lose their cunning,
but that their minds refuse to frame
comical scenes and situations. They
must turn out a certain amount of
grist, however, and on such occasions
have recourse to the humorous tipster.
He is usually a literary free lance, with
some knack of humor. The most sue
cessful are those who contribute funny
paragraphs, stories and sketches to the
humorous weeklies or the humorous
columns of daily papers and magazines,
avs the New York Post.
In New York there are at least so.
of whom probably one-half sell tips
or enter into business relations with
the artists. Where tips are sold they
bring from one to three dollars; and
they average two dollars each. 1t is
generally a cash transaction. Equally
common is the practice of going halves
upon an idea. In this case the tipster
makes a schoolboy sketch, and ON a
separate sheet writes the reading mat
ter to accompany it. The artist there
upon makes a finished picture. If the
publication uses black and white anG
no color, the drawing is purchased, and
the artist absolved of further respon-
sibility. If, however, the publication
has a color press, the artist is often
called upon to oversee the press ar
engagements as 10 the distribution oil
the various inks. In the former case.
the artist and tipster equally divide the
price paid. In the latter the artist re.
ceiyes a somewhat larger share,
The business pays fairly well, so fan
as the time consumed is concerned. \
man with grotesque f~ancies will Otter
conceive u dozen tips in an hour; but ii
may be several days or weeks before
he ear do it again. The most success
full tipster is said to clear 81 1000 a year.
An ordinary tipster makes One-half OF
o~ne-third as much. During the polit-
zeal campaign there is a big demand foI
cartoons, and prices go higher. Tips
for these cartoons will often bring five
to ten dollars, and when they have been
worked cut upon the partnership prin-
ciple. they have Melted as high as $fo0.
