Introductory Proceedings with tine
Chaplatn's Prayer.
Hervey Lindley, the president OF the
Board of Trustees Of the Reform School,
raped upon the speakers table and
called the assembled multitude to order
at q little after two o'clock. The band
rendered a selection of music. Mr..
Lindley then explained that the Rev. ID.
A. Neely, Bishop of Maine, was unable
to be present and Rev. E. L. Conger
would act as chaplain. He asked those
who were seated to rise while the prayer
was offered Mr.. Conger said; Almighty
God, our Heavenly Father, We Thy
children thank Thee for the occasion
which has brought us together in the in
terest of Thy needy ones. We thank
Thee for the great institutions which un-
der Thy Providence have been estab-
lished in this fair land. We thank Thee
for the nation with it's manifold interests,
for the State of California with its great
works. We ask that all these public in
stitutions be under Thy special care and
control. We ask Thy blessing on the
services of this hour and on the
hopes that have been centered in this
noble charity founded by our State Gov
ernment. May Thy benediction rest
upon the solemn ceremonial that shall
dedicate the laying Of this stone, upon
which shall be erected the structure
which shall guard, educate and direct
those who become the wards of the State
to good and true citizenship. We ask
Thy blessing upon the people gathered
together here today, and upon the noble
sentiments which may be uttered. May
they serve to guide and help all those
who may hereafter serve in this great
Christian charity, that its fruitage may
be grand and glorious. We ask it in the
blessed name of our Master and Re-
deemer, in whose spirit this charity was
born, and under whose providence it will
be executed.
The Whittier chorus, under the leader
ship of Charles E. Day, then sang
Nearer, My God, to Thee" and Hervey
Lindley followed with the following open
ing remarks, which were frequently inter
rupted by applause:

THE CORNERSTONE.
The Ceremonial of Placing II In
Position.


EOslt1Om.
The ceremony of the laying of the
cornerstone followed, under the auspices
of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accented
Masons OF California. A PRAYER was
offered by the Very Reverend chaplain
of the Grand Lodge, w. A. Knightep.
and an ode was sung by the Masonic
choir. Enoch knight, the president of
the day, then invited Grand Master
Orme to lay the cornerstone, and he
responded, accepting the invitation, and
began the ritual. At the right time
Grand Secretary Robinson read list OF
the articles which were to be placed
in the iron casket and sealed by Ralph
A. Lowe, Secretary of the Commission,
in the hollow of the stone. 1t included
the seal of the Grand Lodge, copy
OF the bill creating the Reform School,
copies OF the HERALD and other daily
papers and publications of Los Angeles,
copies OF San Francisco papers and peri
oclcals, copy OF the Whittier Pointer, a
copy OF the programme of the DAVIS pro-
ceedings and the names of the officers of
the Grand Lodge and the orators of the
day. The stone was then put in place
and properly laid by the Grand Master
and the other officers of the Grand Lodge
and the ceremony concluded with the
singing of "Old Hundred" and a
bepediction from the Grand Chaplain.
The Southern Pacific continued to run
it's special trains until after O'Clock, by
which time the town was emptied of the
vast crowd who had filed it during the
day. Much regret was expressed that
some portions of the days programme
had to be omitted. There was also not
a little objection made on the score of
the failure to provide refreshments for
the visitors until late in the day. An
unfortunate mistake, moreover, caused
the eviction from the grand stand of
large number of people who had tickets
that allowed thsm seats there. The
enormous number of people that the
management found themselves called
upon to provide for, and the fact that
they could not all be brought to the
place at one time may be urged in ex-
tenustion of these mistakes.
A neat and unique presentation took
place during the afternoon. A solid
silver trowel with an orange wood handle,
was presented to Hervey Lindley. 1t
was inscribed as follows: Presented

the grand stand, and in the meantime
many of those who were unable to obtain
entrance to the tables in the barn sought
refreshment at the Grsenleaf hotel,
where an excellent lunch was served.

California has expended nearly $780,

At 8 O'Clock last Monday evening the
Loring opera house was filed by con-
tented, interested, and emlnently inter-

furnished by the Eolian orchestra of
sixteen performers, under the baton of
Director Isabel. This is an amateur
organization of young men and misses
who know how to play. President Holt

during which he set forth the claims of

We stand amid the bloom of yars,
We daily with their embers.
With hope elastic we had sorros,
The stars the record eeping,
Till Ceres with her sickle CAM
The angel of the reaping.
Amid the warm, conrenting skis,
We gathered in the clover,

We've many an omer over.
Came sweet elixirs, rain aud dg;
Came genial airs caressing;
And poured on all the valley thugh,
The flavor of a blessing.
Nor sigh we for Iberian lands,
Nor ask their classic river;
The golden fruitage al our hais,
Would gem the Guadalquivir.
Our thanks for these: For heslful toll.
For nights of grand refreshin
For seed to cow, for fruitful sd
And for bountaous threshin
And while our grateful songsBound.

That richer sheaves than ours found,
harvest for the Master.

THE PORTUGUESE ATTITUDE.

In well written article of the

tives of Portuguese nationality, and
mentions the names of Mr.. Cunha of
Honolulu, Borba and Enos Of Wal

the free exercise of its rights in

EDITOR BULLETIN The funniest
piece of news l came across of late
Is TO be found in the article beaded,
1.-The Ministerial Platform" signed
''Hawaii Ponoi," in DAILY BuLLE-
TIN, Dec. 20, wherein is stated, that,
amongst other things, our Cabinet
has to repent of being patron Of
Popery. The proof of the assertion
is given, by referring to Il regul:-
tion of the Board of Education. |
suppose it is the one of Nov. 81,
1888.
Now, very likely Hawaii Ponoi,
having something like IN itching of
talking in the newspaper, did not
know what was stated in said docu-
ment. Bat people who make so
much noise, in talking about things
which they do not know, or know
only partly, are called by sensible
men--fools. But perhaps the author
of said article has read carefully
the aforementioned document, and
then the falschoOd he stated is will

ton Of such measures as will result
in the greatest good to the greatest
number.
This can hardly be called govern
ment by majority rule, for all they
are expected to do, is to fall in and
carry out the policy or the projects
of the ruling set. 1t is not merely
ignorance of what has been done Ivy
the present set, who are now mani
pulating our political affairs, that
has caused the uneasness and DIS
satisfaction that has so often found
expression in the BULLETIN. There
is conviction that many things have
been done that will not bear the
light of public exposure and public
criticism. Yet these are not as yet
such grievances as would justify
any such outbreak as would put in
jeopardy higher interests that might
uselessly be imperilled. Such q
style of political management is very
much after the fashion of the So
called "trusts", combinations out
| side of and unknown TO the law. The
Republican party in the United
States has thus come TO be ruled at
present in the interests of set of
political manipulators: but the re-
cent elections show that Independent
voters cannot be relied upon always
to support the men or measures that
may be set up by the men who man,
age the political machinery. The
time will come when the welfare ol
the people will be paramount to the
success of the party.

Those Of our readers who have
been our readers for years, and
whose memories are retentive, will
remember that the BULLETIN has,
among other things, advocated the
establishment of "lying in" hos.
pital for Hawaiians, and intimatcd,
year or 80 ago, that the llOoulu
and Iioola Lahui Society, an asso-
citation of Hawaiian ladies', had such
a project in view. Well, il is with
satisfaction that the BULLETIN now
informs its readers that there is
prospect of something being done in
the matter shortly. In fact, some
thing is at present being done. The
society named, of which Queen ka-
piolani is president, has about S.
600 in hand, and intends using that
money for the purpose indicated. The
Queen has generously donated piece
of land suitably situated at Waikiki,
on which it is intended 10 erect suit
able buildings. AS a beginning it
is the purpose of the society to erect
structure sufficiently large to ac-
commOdate from six to twelve beds,
to be added to as needs may demand
and funds warrant. The services OF
q competent professional nurse have
been contingcntly retained. Allwell.

ed his position as member of the
Legislature, at the close of the last
session; hut not because "the hand
of honesty had throttled corruption
and bribery, and after careful in
vestigation the Legislature 'by q
large majority expelled those in
whom corruption was shown" The
insinuation that such was his actua-
ting motive is unjust. Mr.. Wide

well understood at the time. Now
what was the reason? vii! the paper

BURCHARDT ON THE VETO.

Mr.. l.. A. Burchardt has a letter
in the Advertiser, in which is the
following paragraph IN relation to
the veto:
! have refused to pledge myself
to vote against the Kings veto, con-
sidering that such pledge is in
compatible with the oath to support
the Constitution, that every member
of the Legislature should be free TO
exercise his own judgment on every
case. And i think that the veto
power may occasionally be used with
advantage TO protect the country
from vote of the Legislature,
which does not represent the general
opinion outside of the house; such
as a corrupt vote. Or TO protect Il
minority from unjust treatment by
fhe majority. And this is especially
the case where there is only one
legislative chamber. But ] fail to
see that this involves any extension
OF veto power beyond what is al
ready contained in the Constitution.
Mr.. Burchardt expresses clearly
and ia few words what wac ampiiiied
and maintained in the coluu of
the BULLETIN during the last session
of the Legislature. ANY man under
standing and approving constitu-J
iional government, as it is under
stood and operated in the most adj
vanced countries, must stand just
about where Mr.. Burchardt stands.

SOME HARD FACTS.

EDITOR BrLLETIN:--l 1886 the
then existing government passed,
amid storms of opposition by the
party now in power, q measure in
creasing taxes from 7 of / percent
to percent, or, in other words, in
creased the taxes one-thrd more.
That year the assessment value OF
real and personal property was
S34, 4,9jj, OF and realized Sil7, l03
taxes.
For the year 1888 the assessment
value OF real and personal property
was S3l ,OS2, 1919, or close on ST.
600, 900 less than 1886. The taxes
realized were only ,l9i or only
81 900 more than the 7 OF percent
standard.
Now, sir, the present Government
have met in Legislative Assembly
twice since the passage of the per-
cent Act and they did not see fit to
change it, and therefore they are
responsible for what appears to me
decidedly strange, TO say the least.
Taking the taxes realized in 1886
as basis, viz, $4l7, 103, one-third
more ought to have produced Sjj6,-
1871, and leaves deficit to be ac-
counted for in some way of Sl35, 900.
An explanation is due the tax
payers of this country. Where has
this money gone! Is it costing more
nowadays to collect than it used
to? have some other hard nuts
of this desert ,ption at my disposal
if your friends would like them.
