DOING FEDERAL WORK.

1.-THE Federal Government has strict
laws on the subject of illegal distill-
| ing" said the High Sheriff, .'but unfor-
tunately the Federal officers have not
| sufficient force or the funds available
to make any extensive raids against the
distilling resorts. There are Territorial
laws against illegal distilling so the po-
lice take joint jurisdiction with the
Federal authorities and raid the stills. -
Star.
True, but if the Territory dropped the
matter Uncle Sam would soon provide
the funds for a force of his own. That
is his business. But in a case where
somebody else is willing to bear the
trouble and cost of pursuing and ar
resting moonshiners Uncle is thrifty
enough to stand aside and save his
breath and his money. The lighthouse
case is an example. For three years
after annexation Hawaii maintained
lighthouses here and the Federal Gov
eminent, which was their proper GUS
todian, did not object. But the mo-
ment the local lighthouse appropria-
ton was dropped, Uncle Sam came to
the front with money and men of his
own. 1t would be the same. way in
regard to Illicit liquor manufacture
Once the Territory had served notice
that it would no longer look for stills,
men and money would be given Mar
shall Hendry for that purpose.
Logically the Territory should have
no laws forbidding the Illicit manu-
facture of liquor. The object of such
laws is to protect the revenues of
government, not the morals Of the peo-
pie; and Hawaii in its present state
has no revenues which depend upon
the suppression of okolehao stills. It
is different with the United States,
which taxes liquor and tobacco manu-
facture for revenue purposes. The
matter is no more concern of ours
than counterfeiting. Tt was once, but
we were then Independent; and it has
been Hawaii's weakness to cling to
the things that were rather than adapt
itself to the things that are. We even
spend local money on the harbors of
the United States which happen to be
included in this group; though not an
other State as Territory in the Union
would think of doing such a thing.

THE LEGISLATURE.

4 Unexpectedly the Legislature has
good name for itself and to be of
Service to the taxpayers. A clear,
definite proposal, looking to the re-
trenchment of public expenses, will be
made to it and it's usefulness and
capacity must be measured by the re-
Spouse. If it attends strictly to the
matters set before it by the Governor
and makes outlay and income meet,
much of it's past will be forgotten and
the people of the Territory will begin
to feel that they have a Iaw-making
body which can meet a crisis with
ability and patriotism. And what is
more, the evidence of Hawaiian ca
pacity for government will not pass
unnoticed at Washington.
The Governors message will point
out a safe road. To lure the Legisla-
ture from it every demagogue and dis
turber of the peace will do his best.
All sorts of schemes to annoy and har-
ass the Executive will be proposed by
outside manipulators. fractional strate-
gy will attempt to switch the Legisla-
ture upon the track Of a county bill
and thus prolong the session at great
cost to the people. The result will de-
termine whether the Legislature has
independence and public spirit or
whether it is a mere tool of selfish poll
tfcians.

The West was settled up for the
most part by the cheap-rate excursions
for homeseekers run by the railroads.
The prairie schooners carried their
thousands every year and the railroads
their tens of thousands. Cheap trans
portation rates and a developed country
go together like cause and effect. Low
fares across the Atlantic account for
two-thirds of the American tourist
travel in Europe. Every tropical re-
sort which Americans crowd is to be
reached for little money. Those re-
sorts which get but a few tourists and
have to pay about $500 apiece for them.
are the ones which can be reached
only by purchasing tickets de luxe.

A NEW EcoNoMIzER.

George Markham is responding, like
a patriot to the call of duty. He sees
that the Territorial finances are in so
had a way that even the Legislature
must be economical about its patron
age. So with all the unselfish ardor
which has made him the conspicuous
man he is, Mr. Markham proposes to
hold most of the House positions him
self at a cut rate. He will agree to
interpret at Sc per day, be Clerk at Sc
more, Sergeant-at-Arms and Messen-
ger combined at 81, and Janitor at
$3.50 making for himself the modest
compensation of $3.50 per day, which,
as any one can see, would be a great
saving from former prices. Mr.. Mark
ham would like to be Speaker also, but
the Speaker is member of the House
who has no extra compensation and
Mi Markham is obliged to consider
himself out of the race.
Having begun so well, Mr. Markham
should not pause. There are other
chances looming up which he ought to
seize Let this earnest patriot offer
TO be the militia for the nominal pay
OF $4,000 per year. That would save
the Territory large sums and leave it
az well protected as it is now. In his
capacity of the militia Mr.. Markham
would have nothing to do but wear a
uniform and draw pay, and much time
would be left for other duties. He
could also be the Board of Health. the
High Sheriff and the band The Board
of Health is all the time making music
and the High Sheriff wears a prettier
uniform than the Kappelmeister, so by |
combining in himself the duties of
both with the identity of the band Mr. |
Markham would enable the Territory |
to get off well He would be the whole |
thing. we presume. for the bedrock |
figure of $4,000 per annum.
Here is something that the Legisla- |
ture cannot afford to overlook. It is a
chance to economic which would only |
crop up once in a hundred years or SO.

THE SINGER
AND THE CAT
tiowMadame SIapoffski's
Fondest Dream Has
Faded.

Many years ago, before Madame
Slapoffski became the wife of the vel
known director, before she had any idea
of ever coming to Hawaii. before in
deed she really knew that she had a
voice that was cut of the ordinary, the
famous singer read Mark Twain's ac-
count of his trip to these islands and
his experiences in the Paradise of the
Pacific. Two things out of Marks
descriptions she remembered in partic-
ular, the vision of Kamehameha and
| Marks description of the cats of Ha-
wall
The singer, in the lapse of years, did
not reconect any details of the species
but to her Hawaii. described by Twain
as overlooking with kittens, was always
associated with that foreign land to
which Dick Wilmington of London
mayoralty fame once travelled and laid
the foundation of his fortunes by sell
ing the ships cat, which was famous
mouser, to the king.
In common with all celebrities of the
professional world Madame Slapoffs!xi
has a penchant for pets. AS yet this
has not taken any decided line and she
has been anxious to select something
original. Bernhard has her lion cubs,
Melba, her Pomeranian puppy, Nance
O'Neill her parrots but repetition is
tiresome and the Australian diva long
ago made up her mind to secure an
Hawaiian kitten, something that would
be affectionate, not too tiresome to look
after and withal something that would
be unique and enviable to her fellow
artists.
Her present stay in Hawaii seemed
the opportunity she had been looking
for but though Honolulu boosted cats
galore, old, young, of all colors and
variations, stump-tailed, long-tailed,
none of them realized her hopes and
she decided that the true originals must
have taken to the woods when annex
alton took place.
On Sunday last however her hopes
ran high for a few happy moments. |
With her manager, NJ. b. Curtis, the |
singer went up Pacific Heights for the |
view and wandered back towards the
higher ridges. AS Curtis, who is nor so |
young as he used to be, was concealing |
his lack of breath by affecting a. wide |
interest in the view, Madame Slapoff-
ski saw brown kittenish creature with
a long tail cross the trail. AN Ha-

The judge Silenced,

In the famous trial of the dean Of st.
Asaph. Mr.. Erskine, the great English
lawyer. put question to the jury rel
alive to the meaning of their verdict.
Mr.. Justice Butler objected to its pro-
priety. The counsel reiterated his ques-
ton and demanded an answer. The
Judge again interposed his authority in
these emphatic words:
"Sit down. Mr.. Erskine. Know your
duty or shall be obliged to make you
know it."
Mr.. Erskine, with equal warmth, re-
piled: II know my duty as well as your

The judge was Silent. and the advo-
cate persisted in his questions.

QUEER THINGS TO PAINT.

Peculiar Subjects For Pictures se-
lected BY Students.
A noted artist was addressing his
class.
young men," he said, when you be-
gin to paint don't choose peculiar and
uncanny subjects for your pictures.
Some of you, though, despite me, will
choose such subjects. That has been
the case with all my classes.
"A country lad painted under me a
picture of Nebuchadnezzar eating
grass. The picture was intended to be
horrible and sad. In a gaunt land
scape the king, nearly naked, crouched
on his hands and knees. He was eat
ing greedily of big bunch of grass
that he held in his left hand. His as
pect was bestial and insane. The pic
ture wasn't badly done, but whoeve:
looked at it laughed.
Another student of mine once paint
ed picture that he called The De-
liverance of JONAH On a sea beach
Jonah knelt, his hands clasped and
his face turned skyward in grateful
prayer. The whale was disappearing.
Its vast bulk was sinking into the sea.
"A young Australian painted The
Pound of Flesh In this composition
the Judge and the multitude of specta-
tors looked on while Portia held long
knife against the barred ribs Of Shy
lock. Shylock was bowling with wide
open mouth and arms stretched out in
an appeal for mercy. and the blood
was beginning to flow from his side.
When this pictures disagreement with
Shakespeare's text was pointed out to
the young Australian he said, smiling
indifferently. that an error Of that sort
did not interfere with the picture
value as a work of art.
Among the queer subjects that my
pupils have chosen to paint there have
been lepers. snakes, tombstones. rats
tailors, worms. skeletons and surgical
operations. "-Pittsburg Press.

NAST'S SURPRISE,
Dramatic Climax In the Convention

Dramatic Climax In the Convention
Which Nominated Grant.
In May, 1868, the Republican ma
tional convention came along. Mast
went to Chicago to be present.
1t was settled beforehand that Gen
eral Grant was to be the Republican
presidential candidate. The great SOL
der had maintained a calm and noble
dignity through all the trying days Of
conflict between congress and Andrew
johnson and was now honored almost
as much for his diplomacy as for his
success at arms. Indeed the mantle of
sweet renown left by Lincoln would
seem to have been laid upon the Shout
ders Of Grant, and ne wore it with be-
coming grandeur and humility.
Realizing that the convention would
name Grant as its choice, Mast pre-
pared little surprise for the event.
he painted upon a large curtain the
White House entrance, with two ped
estals. one on each side. bearing the
words, Republican Nominee, Chicago.
May TO-" and democratic Nominee,
New York. July a." respectively On
the Republican pedestal was seated the
figure Of Grant. while Columbia stood
pointing to the empty place opposite.
Below were the words, Match Him"
This curtain, with blank curtain be-
fore It, was suspended at the back Of
the convention stage. At the instant
when General Grant was announced as
the unanimous presidential choice Of
his party the blank curtain was lifted,
and the great cartoon, Match Him"
was suddenly exposed to full view
The occurrence was so unexpected
that the throng was silent for a mo.
ment, taking it in; then, realizing that
it was spectacular climax. the picto-
rial expression Of a universal senti-
ment the assembled multitude gave
vent to an enthusiasm that turned the
great hall into pandemonium of exul-
tation.-Albert Bigelow Paine in Pear.

Brought Him to Church.

Brought Him to Church.
A methodist minister tells the fol-
lowing story about the late Sam Rozel,
the great Virginia evangelist. who in
his day was one Of the best known
pulpit orators in the south:
''Sam Rozel was u very big man and
had wide reputation for physical
strength. In his college days he came
off the field of combat, usually cir
cumscribed and secluded area of the
campus, wearing the laurel Of victory
on many occasions, and after he be-

and who was recognized. especially
among the tavern habitues, as pugil-

of Rozel, and the villagers did not fail
to tell him all they had heard about

length of his legs. and Of the con-
vincing way he had Of closing an ar
gument with his fists.
"All this nettled the smith consid-
erably, so when Rozel reached the
town he sought him out and asked
him to fight.
"Rozel, of course, said he did not
want to fight, but the smith kept on
insisting, and finally Rozel became
angry and agreed to crafty the fel.

"They fought. Rozel literally wiped
up the ground with the big man. When
he had pounded him until the poor,
vanquished bully was gasping hard,
Rozel picked him up and threw him
