The Lion and the sun.

By the last mail His Majesty received
the insignia of the Grand Cross of the
Lion and the Sun from His Imperial
Majesty the Shah of Persia, whose letter
to the King, conveying the diploma of
this decoration, was published in our
columns on the 10th instant.
The insignia of the higher classes of
this much-prized Order are in the form
of a Star, and that of the Grand Cross is
a Star of eight rays, made of silver with
innumerable letter bosses, each having
cut faces after the fashion in vogue with
diamonds and other jewels. In the cen
ter there are three rings, one within the
other, of these jewel-like bosses, and
the eight rays of the Star start from the
outer rim of these. Within the rings is
a medallion, on which the figure of a
couchant lion is painted, the full face of
the sun appearing above the shoulder OF
the lion. The Grand Gordon which &C
companies the Star, and which is given
only to Sovereigns or to persons OF the
very highest distinction, is a broad green
corded ribbon from which is suspended a
star of six rays, hanging from a smaller
star OF seven points, each being OF SINH
lar workmanship to the large Star above
described.
The Order of the Lion and the Sun
was created by the Shah Feth Ali in the
early years of the present century. In
the insignia as worn by Persians, the
lion in the central medallion is depicted
standing up with the right foot raised,
holding in its claws a sabre. This fierce
emblem of the warlike qualities which
have more than once given extended
dominion to Persia, is exchanged in the

NOT Sufficiently Posted.

The Lowell, Mass, "Vox Populi, +" a
very able edited New England weekly,
with large circulation, has the follow
ing in one of its issues OF recent date:
eve have received from an old Lowell
lite copies of the PACIFIC COMMERCIAL
ADVERTISER for May. They are fully
laden with reports OF the annual session
of the national Legislature, but other
news is not neglected, ample supple
ments being issued to accommodate the
very latest tidings from all parts of the
world Thus the American idea goes
to the most distant quarters of the earth
in respect to newspaperdOm. We notice
the following statement in one OF these
papers, which perhaps our former resi-
dent will interpret in one of his gossipy
letters, which he occasionally writes for
our columns: His Majesty the King
gave luau on Saturday afternoon at
the Palace to the members of the Legis-
lature' Not being well informed in the
Hawaiian language, we confess that we
do not know whether 'luau' means
kick, luncheon or a drink of whisky
cocktail behind the kitchen door. If the
latter, we think President Cleveland
might borrow the idea from the Sand
witch Island ruler, in order to pacify
the hosts of disappointed Democrats
with whom our Chief Executive is so
unpopular If the President found his
stock of post offices running low, he
might invite his numerous callers one
side and give them Tuau.' But, then,
if it means a kick-the poor applicants
aforesaid seem to have had a sufficiency
of luau' already"

all 1 could do. saw no blood during
the search. l examined his head at the
Station House, and found his hair lit
tie wet with blood round the mark.
Sam McKeague, Station House Keeper,
stated: 1 was on duty when the two
men were brought in. I told the officers
to lift Bolster up easily and lay him
down in the cell carefully. | went
home at half-past 7, after giving orders
TO the officers to watch that he did not
roll over in the night and choke. In the
morning when l went TO the Station
House, a boy named Kalolo told me
that Bolster was dead. l went straight
to the cell and found Bolster lying partly
on his left side and breast. l turned
him over on his back and looked at his
face; saw that he was alive, but that
something was wrong. | rushed out
/ and telephoned TO DR.. McWayne, who
answered | also sent for his father
DR.. McWayne answered at half-past Z,

after o'clock. The doctor had de-
clared on reaching the man that there

be carried in, and noticed nothing differ

often been brought in in worse condi-
ton before. If We had to get doctor
every time man is past speaking, We
would have to have doctor here all the
time.
Dick Burns, turnkey, sworn, stated :
During the night | went to the grating
and peeped into Bolster's cell, with the
lantern in my hand. l heard him
breathing, not very loud, but as if snor-
ing, and left, thinking he was not in a
dangerous state. l looked at him at Il
o'clock, quarter-past and about half
past 4. At daylight he was still breath
ing. turned him over and put another
pillow under his head. L called out to
him, but he would not wake up. That
was the last | saw OF him until half-past
IL o'clock, when he was dead.
A number of other witnesses were ex-
amined, whose testimony did not pro-
duce anything additional to what has
been given.
The jury, after due deliberation,
brought in the following verdict That
said Abraham Bolster died on the oath
day of July, A. D. 1886, his death being
caused by passive congestion from effu-
sion of blood on the brain, the cause UNI
certain"
The inquiry lasted five and three
quarter hours

II H e
THE OPPOSITION PRESS.

The Opposition press seems to be very
much in want of a subject for criticism
The Administration is not liked, and of
course it is considered right to assume a
fault and condemn it for an imaginary
failing. If some serious blunder were
committed, some rash promise made,
good grounds of attack would be fur
nished; but these conditions being alb
sent, it follows that adverse comment is
undeserved. Nevertheless, the Opposi-
ton press keeps up a running fire of
comment, varied occasionally by little
originality in the way of invention. This
hurts no one, neither does it accomplish
any useful purpose. 1t does not weaken
the Government. 1t does not touch its
policy. 1t does not even strengthen the
Opposition, which sees itself farther re-
moved from power or it's possible exer-
else thereof than ever. Yet we suppose
the country will continue to be treated
to repetition OF stale platitudes and IA
grant distortions Of fact and truth in the
discussion of political issues. So much
the worse for the country, or at least for
that section of it which accepts its po-
litical gospel from the Opposition press.
II the ADVERTISER were in opposition
it would pursue a different course. 1t
would acknowledge merit and success in
its political enemies, and endeavor to
raise its own side to higher plane than
that which the party it was opposed to
occupied. 1t would lay down distinct
and intelligent principles, and endeavor
TO commend these to the apprehension
of all the people, without respect OF per
sons or condition. In short, it would do
precisely the opposite of what has been
done or attempted by the Opposition
We do not hesitate to give this lesson to
our contemporaries, because we know
that they are too conceited and obtuse
to avail themselves of it. If they did,
however, ii would be infinitely better for
the country and for all who are interested
in its well-being.
Now, it must be evident to any person
of common sense that the present Adj
ministratiOn is not responsible for the
u1lSJdkCSJ IL SuClI Illcy NcISJ vi It's pre-
decessor. 1t is to be judged of and by
its own acts. 1t it fails to give a good
account of its trust, let it be condemned;
if it shows an improved administration,
economy and expenditure, increased
revenue, with resultant progress in bust
ness development, it should be COM
mended. But it is too soon to look for
these results now; it is too much also to
expect any marked change during the
session of the Legislature, the time of
Ministers being fully occupied by
the details of departmental and
legislative business. The needs of
the country and the requirements
of the public service are to be
studied, not hastily but intelligently
and comprehensively, to the end that
any step taken may be in the right |
direction and lasting in its effects.

THE SUNDAY LAW.

The ADVERTISER has already suggested
that it would be advisable for the Legis-
laUure to take more comprehensive
view of the Sunday law than is embod-
led in the bill now before it. The needs
of a cosmopolitan city like Honolulu,
springing into commercial importance
through the development of our sugar
industry, until we justly represent the
advancement of civilization in Polynesia,
naturally precludes the continuance of a
Sunday law which was enacted, or rather
imposed by well-meaning people, in an
early period of the country's develop
ment.
1t is needless to discuss here either
the advantages or disabilities of a Sun
day law from d theological or moral and
philosophical standpoint. Suffice it
that prescription has engrafted the Gus
tom OF making a religious feast-day our
day of rest from physical labor; and
organized government, which is adverse
to abrupt changes in social economy,
has accepted both the theory and custom,
because they have proved conducive to
physical development during the evolu-
tions Of modern civilization.
The Sunday law, however, must not
be so enforced that the religious theory
underlying it will conflict with the ply
,ical necessities OF nature or the com :
