A SCANDALOUS TRANSACTION.

Capt. Crane, of the Nettie Mer-
rill, on his last arrival but one from
Lahaina, left ten bags of coal at the
foot of the Harbor Masters steps.
When he came back from Lahaina
the coal was gone. Investigation
proved that dray No. 80 had been
loaded with the coal and gone off
with it, and, further, that the dray
had been employed by prisoner,
who, it appears, sold the coal for
three dollars to man named
Hendley, employed under the Har-
Dor Master. Hendley was thrown
into CONSERVATION by his discovery
as a receiver of stolen goods, and
succeeded in begging Capt. Crane
not TO prosecute. There is much
feeling over the affair among bust
ness men along the water front.
The letting loose of convicts to prey
upon property is regarded as a more
serious offense against the public,
on the part of the authorities, than
their neglect to suppress the depre-
dations of uncaught thieves.

the hands ot The police, lie was
locked up in the Station House,
where he died in cell during the
night. A communicated article
elsewhere gives other significant
particulars.
An inquest was held at the Sta
ton House this forenoon, when DIR.
+. c. Webb gave his report of a
post norton examination, to the
effect that Kalalakoa, who was about
80 years of age, had died from fatty
degeneration of the heart, and the
jury returned verdict accordingly.
There is no doubt, however, that the
direct cause of death was gin. The
unfortunate victim was taken TO the
Station drunk ut 3 o'clock in the
afternoon. A watch was kept over
him, and at II last night his heart
being observed to nearly cease beat
ing, DR.. Webb was sent for, but
death cnsued in few minutes.

THE GOVERNMENTS FIRST GUN.
ONE VOTER SLAIN AND HUNDREDS
WOUNDED.

The Independents fired their first
gun last Wednesday evening at the
Armory. The Government first
gun in reply was fired yesterday in
the meeting called by the Govern
ment candidates to appoint their
lunas. Its reply was characteristic,
and the results were strewn broad
cast over the town and up and into
the Station House, where one is said
to have expired last night from too
close contact during the day with
Hayselden and his colleagues.
Mr.. John Baker presided over the
gin, pouring it from pitcher into
the glasses thrust at him, announce
ing meanwhile that he was fallen
angel sent from Heaven to provide
natives with free liquor. Last Sum
day Mr.. Baker had taken q promi-
nent part in the Sunday School ex-
ercises at Kawaiahao, singing a
song, etc.,
Some three hundred natives were
present, handful only of whom
were not drunk or under the inilu-
ence of liquor. Some were so drunk
they could not get out, and were
logged into q corner of the yard and
dumped, where they lay (Haysel-
denis trump cards) covered with
mats to snoozc off the Government
platform they had been imbibing.
The good fairy of the feast was
Hayselden, who saw to all details
and was everywhere except in the
Station House.
Aprepos to the above, we reprint
a portion of the advertiser editorial
of this morning: " An address has
been issued by the Government can
didates for the representation of
Honolulu in the next Legislature,
which seems to be loyal and moder-
ate in tone and thought. 1t does
pot deal in misrepresentation or
abuse, but touches upon the promi-
nent political issues of the day.
There is dignity about it wholly
wanting in the filibustering attack
upon constituted authority and pri-
vate character at the Armory, to
which reference has been made. We
trust that similar tone will be pre-
served by the Government candi-
dates throughout the election. They
have reason and truth ON their side. I"

A RATHER incongruous political
cartoon appeared in Oats window
this morning, showing the three
native candidates for Honolulu
fishing for votes, out of flying
break on the Nuuanu road, with
poi, fish and gin for bait, while the
white candidate, cleft on the road"
is pursuing the vehicle, his hat off
and hair streaming in the wind.
An Opposition CARLOAD is distanced
in the race. The production is
hardly complimentary to the Homo
lulu electorate.

A SHOCKING AFFAIR.
FATAL RESULT OF GIN AS POLITICAL
BAIT.

Yesterday afternoon a meeting
convened by the Government candi-
dates for Honolulu was held upon
certain premises in Punchbowl
street. 1t was attended by two or
three hundred natives, whom the
aspirants for legislative honors piled
with liquor, presumably to work
them up to the required point OF
enthusiasm over the freshly-an-
nounced Government policy. Be-
fore the proceedings closed, many
of the +" free and independent "
electors were lying about the ground
in stupid intoXication. Some of
them were covered up with mats
and left to sleep off their extraordi-
nary political dose. One named
KaIalakoa, however, managed to
get away with his load, under
which he ultimately staggered into

Mr.. c. X. Miller received by the

They were such a novelty that they
have all gone off at high prices. The
chickens were Matched in the

Mr.. Miller is agent, and their re-
markable liveliness after undergoing

Manted-Nn Issue.

The Republican leaders, it seems, are look
ing around for new party issue on which
to base their next campaign. The BLOODY
shirt" is SO tattered and torn that it can no
longer be waved and when displayed it ex-
cites only derision. Sectionalism, the tariff,
and every other question upon which the
Republican party hoped to win, has been
tried without success A new policy must
therefore be found Hence it is not sur
prising that the suggestion is made in high
Republican quarters that the party shall raise
the banner of temperance and the rights of
labor.
Altogether the grand old party" seems to
be in avery bad way, and is likely to be split
up into several factions on either of the issues
named. In Ohio, for instance, the saloon in
terest is on the side of the Republicans and
atemperance plank would ALLEVIATE it and in
eyitably give that State to the Democrats
Then the capitalists and corporations have
been the backbone of the Republican party
for years and they will not take kindly to
any policy that might, in their opinion, sug-
gest or lead to communism. Therefore, the
G. o. p. is sadly in want of an issue or an ex-
cuse for its continued existence.

TWENTY-FIVE ANNIVERSARY OF HIS PAS
ToRATE The twenty fifth anniversary of the
pastorate of the Rev. j. d. Smith at Slate Ridge
Presbyterian Church was celebrated on October
30th. Rev. Mr. Smith gave an interesting sketch
of the venerable old church, which was listened
to with great attention. Slate Ridge Church
was organized about 1850, the first church build
ing being erected on Muddy Creek, at the mouth
of SCOTS Run. This building being burned, a
temporary building was erected In the vicinity
of the residence of Mr.. John Beattie. A third
house was then built near the present site, and
a fourth one in 1862. This was burned about
1900 and the present house was erected In 1905.
There are no carly records of the church, but 1t
is believed that the first preacher was Rev. Mr..
Whittlesley. In November, 1850, Rev. Mr..
Smith became the pastor. Rev. Messrs. T. M.
