NOMINATION OF CANDIDATES.

Gen. Butler Selected on the First Ballot, and
Gen. West by Acclamation.
The chairman declared that, according to the
rules adopted, the nomination of candidates for
the presidency and vice presidency was
then in order, and that he would
listen to no other propositions. The roll of
States was therefore ordered to be called for
nominations. Mr.. Fuller, of Michigan had been
selected to place General Buffers name before
the convention, but his thunder was stolen by
Str. Cunningham, of Arkansas, the second State
callaI. After that. when each State was called
a delepa,s would either make a new nomination
or second one sI'eeady mado, and consequently
the oratory dragged ut to a tiresome length.

JUDGE EcocK, of Philadelphia, in the case
against Policeman Smiley, for shooting and

prisoner arrested for felony attempts to escape
from the policeman the latter may shoot him,
should it become necessary to stop his fight,
and that if death should result the law will
excuse the act. While wholesome as a prin-
ciple, it were dangerous to encourage shoot

TRUSTW0RTHlNESS OF EARLY TRADl-
Tim.

Tradition in our time is very loose
and trivial thing. Everything which
it is important to have accurately
kept in mind is carefully committed
to writing. All that is left to tradi-
ton IS the small gossip of the neigh
borhood, and incidents not worth
formally recording. Thus tradition
has become a mere plaything. No
wonder that those who judge only by
its operation in times of written
records do not thiuk much of it as
a means of enabling us really to
penetrate into the past.
believe it can be shown that ancient
tradition, instead of being about the
same thing as modern, had hardly
anything in common with it; that it
was sacred thing, usually most
carefully guarded and transmitted;
and, therefore, that it is not to be
thrown aside as worthless unless
supported by contemporary records,
but rather to be regarded as itself
species of record, and classed among
the recognized materials of history.
There Is one great fact underlying
the whole subject, which seems to have
been almost entirely lost sight of;
that tradition, before the times of
writing, had a totally different part
to play from anything required of it
now. Now, as has been said, it is an
accident, the mere fragmentary sur
vival of things which have not been
forgotten. Then it was an instrument,
a careful instrument for keeping in
mind those things which needed to be
remembered. Something's have to be
remembered among savages just as
civilized peoples, and remembered
accurately, Among these necessary
things are the forms of their religion,
their laws, the boundaries and pos
sessions of tribes and families, the
names and deeds of their great men.
Ancient tradition was not merely
the history; it was the only law, the
only record of possession, the only
title-deed of property. 1t may seem
to us rude instrument; but nothing
is more remarkable than the way in
which, when man has only a rude in
strument, he often acquires such skill
in its use that it comes to supply his
need almost as well rs the far finer
appliances of ciyilization.-Rev.

A SABBATH EPISODE,

Last Sunday morning at about 10
O'Clock a party notables, soldiers
and others were seen vending their
way towards His Maiesties boat
house. The most prominent mem
bers of the company were David

geant-at-ArmS of the Legislature.
In company with a number of sol
diers, armed with guitars, h"I0 girls
and such like the band of pilgrims
embarked in the Kapiolani and they
sailed and they sailed to the island ly
ing opposite Kalihi Valley. Eatables
and drinkables, more especially the lat
ter, were here provided in quantities
sufficiently ample to produce upon
at least a portion of those present
the condition of mind known as
full :" the honorable member from
koolaupoko, if report is truthful,
being unable to state with certainty
whether he was on foot or horseback,
and the member from Hama was in
that happy condition that he did not
care whether school kept or not.
Kamakele, the man who is always
armed with petition, brought i'll q
petition with 143 signatures, that he
be excused from further work that
day. The petition was unanimously
granted, and being weary he imme-
diately sat down Oh his back and
slumbercd.
As at certain classic merry max
ing of ye olden time, the fun waxcd
fast and furious, and the glad voices
of the happy Sabbath revelcrs to the
accompaniment of the hula h1ti were
waited over the waters to the main
land, where the dwellers who are
told that the Sabbath is tabu and
sacred, wagged their heads and said,

TO-MORROW'S DOlNGS.
THE REPORT OF the PRESIDENT OF
THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.

The Board and the people are to
be congratulated upon the general
efficiency of the English schools,
and also upon the marked ability
and worthy spirit of the teachers.
II is gratifying to learn also that the
late efforts to promote industrial
educatian have succeeded so adj
mirably.
The Inspector Generals recon-
mendation that all Government
English schools be made free is GER
tainly wise under existing circum-
stances. But two things must be
borne in mind when such action is
taken. A considerable source of
school revenue will thus be given up
and an increase in the attendance at
English schools will surely follow.
Both of these facts look to increased
expenditures for English schools.
1t is interesting to see that the Board
of Education distinctly disavows the
responsibility of the diminished esti-
mates for this purpose for the COM
ing two years. 1t is to be hoped
that the Legislature will do nothing
to further cripple the schools.
The people are not to be congrat-
ulated upon an uneNpended balance
of some thirty thousand dollars of
the appropriation for English schools,
while nearly or quite one-fourth of
these schools are suffering for want
of suitable houses; while children
are growing up in ignorance, or
worse than ignorance, for want of
these houses, and while many Of
these schools are still destitute of
school apparatus. Yet the report
says that such is the condition of the
English schools. But it says moth
ing of the number of schools which
are now full, and which could be ell.
larged were suitable accommodation
furnished. 1t says nothing of the
number of children growing up il
literate because there is not room for
them in existing buildings. 1t is
silent about the localities where
children of foreign parents are prac-
tically denied all schooling, and
children of Hawaiian parents are de-
MED the best school privileges, by
the absence of English schools. Pre-
yenuon is better than cure. Schools
are better investment than prisons.
1t is better to pay good teachers to
prevent crime than to pay policemen
and judges to punish it. The Legis-
lature passed liberal appropriation,
and the public would gladly see their
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1884-06-03

not to call it by any other cpithcts,
and a questionable time of introduce
ing gNs here? The present system
of lighting up the streets, although
very far from perfect, has given
hitherto sufficient satisfaction and
has worked economically enough for
it to be warrantahlc to let it continue
a little while longer, until electricity
or something else could be intro
duced. AT any vote, if there are
people willing to try the problematic
experiment of making CHEAP gas
here, out of HIGH PRICED Goals, |
am far from making any objection.
But don't you think that what ought
really to be objected to, are the fol-
lowing points:
First-Of allowing q gas corpora
ton to be priviledgcd here at the
expense of the public. Second-Of
forcing as it were the public TO use
the gaseous productions of this COM
pany. Third-What is worse still,
of granting their franchise i'll such
a way that at the expiration of the
delay, the Government will have to
buy the works at an arbitrary valua-
ton.
If any franchise is granted for
such a length of time, ought it not
to be stipulated here, Us it is always
done in Europe in similar cases, that
at the expiration of the privilege,
all the works will revert to the Gov
crnment as public property? In this
case the public would not be obliged
to buy up, at Il fictitious valuation,
an industry which in 80 years hence,
with the actual probable progress of
science, will most likely be worse
than valueless, and at least no OBJ
stacles would then be in our way for
adopting any better or "more illumi-
mating process.
Another bill | have noticed, is
that relating to tramways about
which | have no questions to submit
to you, as it seems 4 good and desira-
bic thing, though not without certain
inconvenience, 4 scheme really in
tended for meeting public want
and for rgreatly adding to the comforts
of the Honolulu inhabitants. Only
one point appears to me to fall under
some of the preceding observations
and that is about the termination of
the franchise. At the end of the
fixed time and if it be too short, let
it be heightened the tramways and
all their plants ought to remain pro-
perty of the Government, agreeable
to the general nsages of civilized
nations in similar cases, as a com
pensation to the public for having
alienated for so many years public
rights in favor of the few privileged
starters of the enterprise, who will
have had SO much time for ENJOYING
the benefits of it.
Candid Hawaiian Legislators, when
you are asked to grant privileges to
few against the public, remember
that it is your duty rs public men
and politicians, to see that the public
and the Government, whose interests
are here inseparable, will some day
be benefited by the privilege itself,
in proportion to the gains which the
promoters expect to realize for them
selves. A. MARQUES.
