wANreD-A BUSINESS LEGISLATURE.

| One Of the best things that could
lhappen to Hawaii would be the election
LOT a LEGISLATURE from the ranks of men
who have something to do besides pol
itics. The present body is largely
made up OF men who would be idle or
comparatively so, if it were not for
Legislative employment; hence their de-
! sire 10 supplement each regular session
with both extra and special sessions. in
! a word to keep the Legislature running
as long as possible. Private life offers
such people few rewards or attractions;
public life means bread and meat to
them-provender to be had, for the
most part, without work.
A Legislature of business and pro-
fessional men would easily get through
with all the Iaw-making Hawaii needs
in sixty days or less, appropriation acts
included. 1t would talk little on the
floor and work hard in committee. If
necessary it would work ten hours a
day until the docket had been cleared
But the Legislature we have wastes
more time at the regular session than
it uses, for no other purpose than to
make an extra session necessary. Very |
soon we shall have had 120 days of |
such as it is, and there is
talk of so shaping matters as to make
it necessary, in case the county act
goes by the board, to have a session of
sixty days more. Happily the law pro-
vfdes for biennial sessions. for if we
had annual ones the Legislature would,
it is likely, be in evidence one-third
IF the time.
The rudimentary difficulty lies in the
rational habit of thinking that anybody
s fit to do anything. Law-making is Z
| skilled business which, in American !
states and Territories, is apt to be
urned over to unskiIed labor. A man
Who knows nothing of law or the forms I
# law, to whom the Constitution is

ubject of political science as a child I
Inborn and who could not write an in I

ionality and clearness of language can

1t is an odd but significant circum-
stance that the most disreputable ele-

and the official hoId-overs from an in

Marston Campbell. the man who came
out OF the Boyd investigation without

 A man living on the outskirts of the city has quite recently learned a trifle more than he ever knew before of the habits of birds, albeit he is trife short on botany. With the first faint breath of spring he planted fine lot of garden truck, including some Eng
 fish peas, and, few weeks later, when the vernal sunshine began warm ing things up he placed on his front porch very fine fern, which his wife had been keeping all winter in the bay-window and near the heater. He attended to the latter job early one morning before going to the office, and did not see the fern again until late that evening when he went to take it in fod the night, and he did not see 1t then, for he discovered that there was no fern left to take in--nothing but a. few short stubs and stunps. While he stood gazing on the ruin of his noble plant, three impudent, belligerent Eng fish sparrows flew downward from the caves of the roof and set about pluck

 The minute MT. sububs recovered from his surprise. he started a grand sparrow hunt, and, though he did not s~cceed in killing any of the birds, he worked off a deal of bad temper that he might otherwise have taken out on the missus or the dog. In his frantic, though unsuccessful, efforts to get at the sparrow colony. he discovered that during the day the birds had plucked the fern to pieces, and carried it away for nest building material. This was something of a surprise to him, as he had always imagined that birds employ only dry twfgs and grasses in the con- struction of their spring habitations. The day following, when he went down to business, he called up a bird expert, from whom he learned that the Eng fish sparrow builds its nest of most any old or new thing, green or dry.
 A few days later his English peas under the influence of the warm sun and balmy air, sprOuted, and then he had another practical demonstration of the nest-building habits of the English sparrow, for in less than day these little pests, fiocking to his garden from all over the neighborhood, plucked up every pea vine that had sprouted, and spirited it away to the place where they were carrying on building opera tions. The man had some experience in bird pests during his early life on the farm; but until this year had al- ways imagined that gardens and green things were safe in the city from the crows and cutworms of the rural parts, and is, hence, very much interested in the new part plaeyd by that city-swell- ing bird, the English sparrow, in his hole of general and unnitigated nui- sance.-Washington Post.

"CRIsIs" IN FRENCH DRAMA.
Outdoor Sports Constitute Danger for the Theater.

Outdoor Sports Constitute a Danger for
 s the Theater.
 s'Listen," replied the baron, putting his foreffnger to his forehead impress sively. "The success of the little the aters with short plays comes from the fact that nowadays a crisis has been reached in theatrical affairs. In the first place, it is fact that the growing
 popularity of outdoor sports in France
 constitutes real danger for the thea
 ter. The love of physical exercise, Of
 bicycling, automobiling, of field sports
 and ballooning, increases daily with us.
 "It is excellent for the muscles, but
 when one has steered ones tuff-tuff
 all day or been driven through the
 clouds in a balloon, the tired sports
 man is in no condition nor frame of
 mind to enjoy in the evening serious
 play.
 Notice" he went on, "that l am
 speaking of the Frenchman. upon
 whom physical exercise has more effect than on the Angli-Saxon, who has been
 accustomed to it from his youth With
 our impetuosity we overdo things.
 Besides, the athlete is not good spec tator, for what is won for the biceps is
 lost for the brain:
 What our good man of the world
 returning from hard days sport must have, is either his bed, or light, gay revue with perfect brain rest during it. So he dimes late and goes to the circus, or to the performance of revue, or to one of the small theaters, or to the bouis-bouis, where the lightest of farce comedies sends him home in good hu- mor. These latter miniature theaters have become so popular with us that nearly every quarter now has its bouis- bouis. They have sprung up like mushrooms and steal an important
 part of the audience of the serious the aters.
 Again, the theater proper, once the most moderate priced of amusements,
 has become with us so expensive that most bourgeois families or the average Parisian cannot afford to go.
 Besides, in the serious theaters the entr'actes have become interminably | long, the acts ridiculously short. We USSSlll lO SIloltShS boOS c4 "iiehk WI term pornographie; of plays full of sa- lacious intrigue and of moral degene- racy, which most of our young authors seem to revel in, and which they call a slice of life Gun bout de la vie.'" He added earnestly:
 "The Parisian wants gay plays, clev- CT vaudeville, or little comedies full of sparkling wit and humorous situations. The Parisian wants it all the more be- cause the stage lately has been too much under the influence of foreigners like Ibsen, Sudermann. Haup+mann, Tolstoy and the rest. The dramatic world may insist that the drama used to be even sadder, that the old play wrights made people die, that Camille was dead! that the Femme de Claude was dead. that the theaters ill bygone days were sumptuous slaughter houses becoming veritable battlefelds by the fifth act, But what do you want?" the baron went on. ''The public like it bet ter, for when the people in the play are killed off once and for all, the good spectator has no more to worry over"

TRIBUTE TO A NEGRO BARBER.

In Which a West Virginia Town Joined
 Tine Confederate Veterans Marched
 to the Grave.
 E. Hayward Bowly sends to the Re publican a copy of the Shepherdstown CW. Va.) Register with a marked arti- cle, showing that no matter whether man is white or black. he will be re- spected in the south. probably even more than at the north, if he is entitled to it." Here is the article:
 J. Wesley Seibert, the well-known colored barber, died at his home in Shepherdstown last Sunday night. The deceased was much-respected man and had wide circle of white friends in this section who will regret his death. Wesley, who was about fif- ty-nine years old, belonged in his youth to Mrs. Betsy Morgan. At the out break of the civil war he went with Company B. of this place, as cook, and all through the war he was with the Confederate soldiers in the Second Vir- ginia regiment, serving them faithfully and standing by them through all their adversities. After the war he settled in Shepherdstown, where he conducted barber-shop, having been located in the Entler building on Main street for thir ty-six years. For the past year his heart had been giving him serious trouble, and in February last he sold his business to Lester Wells and re- tired from work. He grew worse as time passed, and peacefully passed away Sunday night. Wesley was an honest, industrious man who possessed and was deserving Of the respect of the people. He stood by his friends man. fully, and his influence was used in the right way in all matters pertaining to the public welfare He was economical and prudent, and had accumulated a snug fortune, his home being among the neatest and most comfortable in the town. He was married, but had no children. The funeral service was held in the colored Methodist church yester- day afternoon. Ia was Otne of the most remarkable demonstrations ever seen in pherdstown-indeed, we do not know that a similar occurrence has ever been known in this country. The Confederate veterans and the Sons Of Confederate Veterans, commanded by Captain M. J. Bilmyer, marched in the funeral procession and attended the service. The most prominent business men of the town and a number of la dies were among the white persons at the service-bankers, lawyers, mer- chants and business men generally paying their respect to the memory Of a man whose skin was dark, but whose life had been faithful. The service was in charge of his pastor, Rev. J. E.. Carter, and Rev. Murray of Charles town and Greenfield of this place. Three white ministers of our town also assisted in the services, Rev. Dr. Charles Ghiselin of the nPresbyteria church, Rev. H. c. McDaniel of the Methodist Episcopal church and Rev. J. c. Thrasher of the Methodist Epis- copal church South. The church was filled with white and colored people, and the service was very impressive one.
