CORONER,S lNOUEsTS.

The "Advertiser" differs from the
coroner in the opinion that an
inquest was unnecessary in the
drowning case at the Lunatic Asylum,
and the BULLETIN agrees with its con-
temporary in the latters difference.
All sudden deaths, whether from
causes known or unknown, are made
subjects of coroners' inquests in
some civilized countries. They may,
in some instances, reach unnecessary
extremes. But we certainly go to
the extreme of neglect in the matter.
In the particular case at the Insane
Asylum, a Government institution,
there are special reasons for a
searching enquiry, Persons inca
pable of taking care of themselves
are placed there as wards of the
nation, to be taken care of. And
yet one of these wards is allowed to
| get into the water and drown.
Prima Jdc,e, somebody is to blame,
and an intelligent and searching en-
quiry should be instituted, with the
view of placing it where it belongs
and of preventing occurrences.
Many cases, the nature of which
calls for thorough investigation by a
coroner's jury, occur in this district
during year, that are passed un-
noticed. Any one can see what an
opening is left by this laxity for the
exercise of foul play. 1t should not
be left to the option or the judgment
of the coroner to say whether al
inquest should be held or not; il
should be compulsory in all cases Of
sudden death, whether from accident
or other causes. Until such is the
case, our civilization will be open t.
the charge of being backward.

REPLY TO HAWAIIAN CITIZEN.

EpIToR BULLETIN The Hawaiian
Citizen who tries to answer my re-
marks about the Portuguese of Ma
Gao is evidently one of them himself,
who perhaps could not get even salt
shrimps and cheap flour, so was
very glad TO get away to this place
where he can get something to eat.
l think he is very well known in
Honolulu, and l do not suppose any
one will do more than laugh at his
story about the fight he tells of,
which is like tale written to amuse
some children. Ihave no doubt that
he has many time been made
angry by some Cantonese calling
him "Ham Ho Chang" which is the
nickname the Macao Portuguese
are known by, meaning estate salt
shrimps" and he does not like TO be
reminded of it and of the good
reason there is for the name stick
ing to his countrymen in that part
of the world. What l said about
them is quite true, and every man
who has lived at Macao will tell you
the same.
do not think your correspon dent
is very wise to talk about the gam
bling at Macao under the protection
of the Portuguese Government. l
said nothing about it, because it
had nothing to do with the subject
of my letter. But, as this rash
"citizen" introduces it will ask
the good people of Honolulu to COM
pare Chinese and Portuguese ways
in this matter. The fact is that
Macao long since lost all its trade; !;
the unenterprising Portuguese,
though first in the field, but the Eng
lish take this away from them. The
place has, for long time, been
kept up by the gambling dens. The
Chinese Government would not al
low them in Canton. nor the British
in Hong Kong, but they were al
lowed in Macao for the sake of the
revenue derived from them. Now
that this source of revenue is begin
ming to fail, there begins to be talk
ed about the Portuguese giving Ma
Gao back to the Imperial Govern
ment. When we consider the
splendid position of Macao fol-
trade, situated as it is near the
mouth of the Canton river and only
36 miles from the vast city of Can
ton, the history of the place does
not encourage people to believe
much in the talk they hear about
the Portuguese being the saviors OF
this country by settling in it.
In conclusion, l would like to ask
Hawaiian Citizen what q Chin Cow
is? Is it Portuguese Christian, OIL
is it a monkey, or is it some new
sort of wild animal?
Yours respectfully,
e. MING HYM.

PORTUGUESE AND CHINESE.

EDITOR BULLETIN: - Some one
who considers himself a "patriot"
has been exhibiting his ideas of
patriotism in your columns of the
26th inst. by praising one set of his
fellow subjects to the skies and
making all sorts of objections to
another set. There is nothing very
logical about his comparison of
Portuguese and Chinese, and he
really produces no reason except his
own 81 consider" why one Portu-
guese should be more valued than
100 Chinese. For instance, when
he talks about what each consumes
he says ''all what the Chinese re-
quire is imported from China, ex-
cept rice, and all what the Portu-
guese require is produced on the
Islands or imported from the
States" The fact is that almost all
the Chinaman consumes is the pro-
duce of Hawaiian soil. His little
luxuries come from abroad, some
from China, some from America,
but the staple of his sustenance is
home grown. Not so with the
Portuguese. He does not care for
rice or for poi, but must have flour
imported from California for him
and all sorts of other things that
European people are accustomed to.
suppose from the way he refers to
importing from the States that
"Patriot" thinks it is much better
for the country to have import trade
with America than with China.
That may be the idea of firms who
trade only with the States, but the
value of any trade to the country in
general depends entirely on its pro-
fitableness. Even on his own ground
however, he is still wrong Except
flour, the Portuguese want European
goods chiefly, not the productions OF
the United States, and the Chinese
are much better customers of the
San Francisco and Boston mer-
chants than they are.

FAST DRIVING AROUND CORNERS.

Without wishing TO detract one
particle from our morning contem-
porary's objection to board fences
for they are certainly unsightly ap-
pendages to any city lot, although
in some instances they may serve
useful purpose, cannot admit
that they constitute the one or the
main argument against driving or
riding faster than walk around
corners. In fact, if this were the
only objection to turning corners or
passing crossings on a trot, it would
be OF force in a very few places in
this city. The main obstacles to
seeing across corners, and which
furnish the principle reason for driv-
ing slowly around or past them, are
the buildings which occupy them.
Board fences or no board fences,
driving or riding fast around cor
ners or past crossings is dangerous
practice, and should, for the sake of
public safety, be punishable by law.
Considering that the practice is so
common here, it is surprising that SO
little damage has hitherto resulted.
1t is also surprising to us that it
should have been so long tolerated.
The writer knows of no city any
where subject to the Government of
western civilization, in which driy-
ing fast around corners is not an Of
fence against law.

Drink as a Life PreSerVer.
some startling statistics
for tho Benefit of Total
AbstaincrS.


4 report on the inquiry into the con-
nection of disease with habits of intem-
perance, prepared by DR.. Isambard
Owen, Secretary of the Investigation
Committee of the British Medical As
sociation, gives some startling statistics
for temperance people. Particulars
have been obtained by the committee of
1894 cases of deceased lives, aged twen-
ty-five and upward, in which the habits
of the person in regard 10 alcohol were
recorded in five claSses-total abstain
ers, habitually temperate, careless
drinkers, free drinkers, and decide dly
Incorporate. The ages of death in each
class show an average as follows: To-
tai abstainers, 5l.22 years; habitually
temperate, 62.l3; careless drinkers,
59.G7; free drinkers, $3.50; decidedly
Incorporate, 52.C3. This makes the
lowest average duration of life that of
the teetotaler, and the highest that of
the moderate drinker, his average being
nearly eleven years longer. The habit
ual drunkard averages about year
longer than the total abstainer,
Another table prepared by the COM

NAIL DOWN THE LIES.

1t is perfectly evident that the Democrat,
has entered into a deliberate scheme to pref

by fat msrepre> entation. We have showr
BY the records that these are the exact facts
and Republicans should make it their tus
ness to so publish them abroad, as to mai
down the lies Of the enemy.
/. In the strike Of 1877 (the only tim
when the charges allege General Harrison t
have Opposed labor mevements) Genera
Harrison with Senator Mcdonald, q Dem
crat, and Governor Williams, a Democr at
and Mayor Gavin, a Democrat, and Mr.
Landers, Democrat, and Other Democrats,
served on committee named by mass
meeting of citizens, irrespective Of party. to
try and peacefully bring about settlemen.
Of the railroad strike al Indianapolis.
2. At the conference held he declared
that the laws must be upheld, violence pre-
vented, property protected. But he believed
the strikers demand for better wages was
Just, and he hoped an increase would BE-
granted.
;. When, few days later, the Demo
cratic Governor Williams called on citizens
20 ard him in maintaining order and protect
ing property, General Harrison volunteered,
and as Captain of a company and with hun
d,eds Of other good citizens stood guard ov
er the United States Annoy lis stores Of
arms and ammunition to prevent their dis
turbance or removal
4. He refused, enPhatcally, to do any
thing to bring on a conflict, and labored as
siduously 10 restore amicable relations be
tween the -ailroad COMPANIES and strikers,
and sought TO have the former grant the lat,
Ter better rates Of wages.
s. When, few days after, 200 OF the
strikers were convicted for interruPiing the
operation Of one Of the roads under control
of a Receiver Of United States Courl,
General Harrison peuton=d the Court to
suspend judgement and let the men 60 free,
because all that was desired had been &C
phshed-the maintenance of order and
the upholding Of the laws-and on his peti
:ioa the Court did suspend sentence indrf.
nitely and let the men go free.
{, These men, acknowledging General
Harrison TO have been their tue friend,
thanked him and grasped his hand in grail
tude for his services in their behalf.
These are the facts upon which the Dem
acraoy is seeking to prejudice the case Of
General Harrison before the worklngmen Of
the country. They are facts that stand to
the eternal credit Of General Harrison and
prove him to be he true friend Of labor and
the staunch champion Of order and the
maintenance Of law.-Rero,d- Union.
