A THE assassin's trial proceeds the insanity
theory grows weaker. On the fourteenth day
the prisoner occupied the stand throughout,
and he detailed the events in his life with a
minuteness that but few sane persons could
even equal. As he would complete the detail
of any particular occupation in his history, the
defense would attempt to throw cloud of in
sanity over each period before proceeding fur
ther, and the entire day fully illustrated that in
spite of evidences of perfect sanity, the in
sanity dodge was being persistently sought.

"Oh, yes; that is my revised work,

I haven't seen it since it was taken from me
when was arrested" Witness then desired
to read passage, and read page or two de-
scriptive of the trials of the Apostle Paul in
endeavoring to introduce Christianity. "That
was just my case" said Guiteau, striking his
fist upon the desk. ''I strove to enlighten
the world Just as Paul did. I had no
money and no friends, and had just
about as rough time the Apostle
had" In his testimony Guiteau said he
made his first application for Office soon after
General Garfeld's election. He called ON Gar

with him and handed him my speech, on which

The witness then went on to state that the

| coming to grief. "Suddenly on Wednesday

since that time, about the 1st of June,

asking God if Garfield were not to be

the nation from ruin. 1 knew the Lord

General Ambrose Everett Burnside who
died at Bristol, Rhode Island, Tuesday,
was born at Liberty, Indiana, May 23rd,
1924. He graduated at West Point in
l847, was stationed at Fort Adams, New

THOUGH this Kingdom be the small
lest of the family of independent
states; 5yet, owing to its superior civil
order, its Christian character, and geOgra-
phic position, it obtains a national recOg-
milton and q diplomatic consideration,
much beyond what is accorded to some
larger states. And we feel assured that it
is the wish of great Powers, that so long as
a Hawaiian people shall strive to maintain
their national independence, these Powers
will not fail to protect this weak state in
the untrammelled enjoyment of the politi-
cal organization best adapted to the genius
of the chief constituents of our nationality.
And it was with a view to give expression
to the sentiment and firm conviction of the
nation on this point, that the following
resolution was submitted to the Hawaiian
Legislature of 1880.
WHEREAS the opening of a shipway across
the Isthmus of Darien, and the connection
of this Archipelago by cable with the Old
and New Worlds will concentrate attention
upon the strategic importance of these
Islands, and make their possession an lmpor-
tant question to contesting Powers in the
Pacific Ocean and
WHEREAS, a patriotic spirit should seek
to guard the independence of the state
against possible contingencies therefore,
ResOLued, that it is the sense of this
Assembly that the Government should,
through its diplomatic action, invite all the
Great Powers of the World, and especially
the Great Republic of America, to unite IN
a joint guarantee of the perpetual neutrality
of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
In a full house and by a joint assembly
of the Mobiles of the Hawaiian Kingdom
and of the Representatives oft Hawaiian
People, this resolution was unanimously
adopted. And thus the Hawaiian chiefs
and Delegates, foreign 2s well as native all
united heartily, without one word OF dis
sent or debate, in declaring to the world,
that they desired, as their chief political
purpose to maintain the independence OF
the Hawaiian Kingdom for ever.

y DIME SAVINGS BANK, or any institu-
tion for the saving of very small sums
would be of great value to Hawaiians.
They have been advised and instructed in
the native newspaper, the EIeLe POdkOLu,
ON the subject of cooperation, and in con-
nection with this, the subject Of small
savings i now under discussion. We are
aware that Messrs. Bishop & Co. offer some
facilities for the deposit of savings, but the
Bank would hardly give attention to the
very small deposits that natives could, and
might be induced to make. We remem
Der the influence of the late Mr.. Moffett
Stoney in inducing the natives of Kahuku
to deposit some of their savings and ma
tives elsewhere have been induced to de-
post savings, which evidently resulted in
great advantage to the depositors.
We feel assured that if there was an in
stitution, entirely trustworthy, that was
organized and prepared TO receive the most
trifing deposit of money, that all the poor
of this country, especially the natives,
would be glad TO nave an opportunity pro-
vided to take care of small economies.
Frequent accounts of the large accumu-
lations arising from many small economies
after lapses of time, would awaken and
interest the native mind. They greatly
need to be educated in respect to economy,
and provident provision for the future. The
growth of a dime at interest, during the
growth of a child, would interest and slim
ulate them. Hawaiians want TO secure for
their offspring education and a future pro-
vision. Let them have a convenient OPP
~portunity, be invited to deposit, and be
assured that the smallest sum-, even one
dime, will receive attention, and many a
poor mother, as well as hard-working man,
will be glad to put away in a safe place,
some few dimes from time to time, for some
beloved object or for their own future
comfort.

We commend the vigilance of the Editor
OF thc Gazette in respect to public welfare
and safety. He urges that "an inquest
should be held upon every one of the deaths
marked unknown" in the mortuary re-
port. In that case our Marshal YOU have
his hands full performing coroner's duty
alone and police affairs would have to
slide altogether. There are frequently a
score or more of deaths marked in the
mOTtuary report - cause unknown" Not
only unknown to the agent of the Board of
Health, but unknown even to the doctors.

zeal flllibility that came under our obser-
vatiou Oh Maui. y lady patient was said

To err, the causes of many deceases will
continue TO be reported as unknown; eX-
cept that the defunct passed away for want
Of breath. No doubt there should be a
vigilaut observation, by authority, of every
cause Of death; and in order to fully carry
out such observation, it is necessary that
the duty of Coroner should be a distinct
function, and we recommend our cotempo-
Tary, in the event of the creation of the
Office. al the proper incumbent.
