astic temperance meetings of the season was
held last evening at the Gospel Mission. A
service of song was engaged in. after which
Rev. S. F. Pearson read an appropriate se-
lection and offered prayer. Mr.. Pearson
then delivered an interesting address, in
which he related incident after incident that
had come under his own observation during
the present new year in our city. Mr.. Pear
son claimed that drunkenness is alarmingly
on the increase, and thought that no right
minded, candid person who knows anything
Of the existing state Of affairs would attempt
to deny that such was the case. He thought
the increase was especially among the young
Mr.. Pearson was followed by Messrs. Pink
ham. White, Pearson and Doughty, T. B.
Munroe, Capt. R.'H. Murphy and others, who

At THE MONUMENT ST. SCHOOL,
A Flag Presented and Raised Yester-
day Afternoon.


The exercises connected with the presen-
tation OF the flag recently purchased by the
pupils Of the Monument street primary
school took place yesterday afternoon in the
principals room of the school. The exer-
cises opened with the singing of America by
the children, after which Mr.. Granville NJ.
Donham, the supervisor of the school, made
the presentation speech. He said he was
glad that the children had secured the flag
so soon after they started on the 'errand.
They had shown love for the country and
zeal In its service by their action. He hoped
that they might never be called upon to go
out and fight for the flag as some of his
schoolmates had. But they were to show
their love for their country by loyalty to
their teachers, and by being 'studious and in
dustrious and obliging to each other The
children then sung the Star Spangled Ban
ner after which Rev.. Abiel H. Wright spoke
briefly OF the lessons taught by the flag
These lessons could be expressed in two
words. To the children the flag meant pro.
tection. 1t meant that they had a great and
glorious country and that it overshadowed
and protected them. The other word ex-
pressing the lesson of the flag is loyalty.
What is loyalty? 1t is doing what is
wanted. When you do what your teachers
want you to you are loyal to them, and when
you 60 out and fight for your country you are
loyal to your country. In conclusion he con-
graduated the children on being born so
near the Goth century as they We're, for, said
he. when you are men and women you will
see greater things than we grown people of
to lay have DIRE AIMED of.
The children then sang "The Red, White
and Blue" after which Mr.. George G. Bur-
CESS on the part of Miss Wilson the principa,
thanked the donors of the flag, who were thu
children themselves. and promised that the
flag would be cherished and its lessons care
fully ineulcated.
At the conclusion of the exercises the chill.
dren marched out into the yard, and as the
| flag was raised, they gave three rousing
cheers under the lead of Mr. Donham.

they are little other than a useless
farce.
In the first place, the system
which makes coroner OF 4 public
officer who may have other duties to
attend 70 when an inquest is called
for, is wrong. A coroner should be
untrammcled by other public duties,
and anyone holding that position in
place with the population Of Homo
lulu will find ample scope for .he
employment of his whole time.
Many cases OF sudden, if not sus-
picions death, are overlooked entire.

look solely after such matters. Our
lhonlhly mO!tlafy reports lhVafia'
bly, contain a large percentage of
cases 'unattended," in which the
assigned causes Of death can be,
many times, scarcely more than con-
lecture. Should this he allowed in
civilized country Here is field
for the full employment of com
petent and cnefgetic coroner.

are deemed necessary or expedient

mincnt members of the Reform
Party TO accept nominations OH their
ticket. Mr.. Kane, or his friends
for him, sought to be placed on the
National Reform ticket, and now
actually appears on the Reform
ticket. Certain members of the Re-
form Party, for reasons satisfactory
to them, even favored the placing of
Mr.. Bush's name, which is now on
the other ticket, on the Reform
ticket. Mr.. A. Young was a favor
ite with certain members of the Me-

by adherents of the Reform Party,

unwisely rejected. Others could he

marily because their consent could

convenient season. without sulli-
cicnt reason, and is taken up when
the facts bearing upon the case are
pretty nearly forgotten; or no en-
auiry may be held at all, although
jury has been cmpanelcd and sworn.
These are hard facts within the range
of easy proof. In support of the
assertion, that an empaneled jury
may fail to hold an inquest, the case
of the late Captain Wood, whose
body was found one morning in the
harbor Of Honolulu, over two years
ago, might be cited. If the jury
ever held an inquiry in that instance,
they did it very secretly, and the
public have been kept in ignorance
until now.
There is something sadly wrong
in all this, which needs reforming,
and in order to which legislation is
required. The work of the coroner,
diligently performed, is among the
most salutary functions Of govern
ment, anywhere; here it would be
especially so, tending TO reduce
to a minimum the number of deaths
of persons "unattended" by author.
ised physicians, and in that way
tending to lessen mortality.

imminent danger of the glass houses
getting fractured. Our friends of
