meet any emergency which might
arise. In case the Office should
hereafter become vacant, the bill
provides that the position shall
fall to the executive council in the
following order, viz, minister of
interior, minister of finance and
encouragement. In case these
fail, the succession goes to the
members of the advisory council,
in the order and time of their cleo
ton to office; and in cases where
two or more were elected on the
same date, they take the office by
seniority of age.

1t being generally admitted that
the day of miracles is past, and
the belief in special judgment for
particular sins having become
practically obsolute, the fate of
Ananias fails to exercise that
wholesome restraining influence on
the Bulletin and other members of
the Nordhoff phalanx which it
otherwise might. If people of the
present day were struck dead for
lying, there would be never a roy
alist editor or letter writer left.
The whole breed would be as ex-
tinct as the dodo or the dinothir-
mum, while the ranks of the restor-
ationists would be depleted more
swiftly and surely than if a battery
of gatling guns had been turned
loose on them.

The KahuIuf Launch.

Captain Williams, of the w. G.
Irwin, sent photograph to this
office yesterday of the new steam
launch lately imported for use Of
pilot English at Kahului, Maui.
The launch is 80 feet long, s feet
beam, and feet deep. The engine
is 15-horse power, and boiler 80
horse power. 1t is guaranteed to
make II miles an hour. Judging
from the photograph, the launch is
one of the trimmest boats in these
waters.

If, as the Bulletin now pleads,
some of its recent statements con-
cerning the financial operations OF
the government were mistakes so
plain as scarcely to need correc-
tion-mistakes which anyone could
detect at a glance-it seems very
queer that the person who wrote
and published those statements
should not have detected the errors.
In attempting to defend its fair
ness, the Bulletin makes a very
bad showing for its intelligence.

CITY IMPROVEMENTS.

:, During the past month tn
y road board has been doin
y good work in improving tn
Il sidewalks on each side O
= King street. Commencing nea
Alapai street the sidewalks have
been curbed with heavy three-incf
planks which with their posts were
: well tarred before being set in
position. This work has been car.
ried out with two or three short
exceptions as far as where the
Waikiki road branches off, near
the old rifle range. 1t is a great
improvement to the street, and a
comfort to pedestrians. The large
Samang trees opposite the Catholic
cemetery which have blocked the.
sidewalk for years have been cut
down and removed. In front of
Thomas square a fine stone curb
ing has been placed made from
lava rock quarried at Moiliili.
The blocks vary from one to four
feet in length, and having been
neatly dressed on the top and
front, make good and durable
curbing, as good, one might say as
any found abroad The plan is
eventually to surround this beauti-
full park with stone curbs, which
will improve the appearance very
much. 1t is to be hoped that some
day in the near future some one of
Hawaii's EailliOnaires viii gener-
ously provide fos sta tue Of Admi-
raj Thomas; after who I'M this park
was named.
Some of the prettiest residences in |
the city are along King street where |
the Improvements noted above have |
been made. A tourist, hiding in
the cars the other de y, remarked
on the smooth rnacada % reads and
fine cottages that line the streets,
referring especially to those on the
upper side of King strset, from
Thomas square to the Government
nursery; that he had nowhere seen
finer homes than those and others
in Honolulu, with their endless va
riety of vines, flowers and trees.
And every one must admit that
Honolulu has some very tasty and
homes-not confined to
any one street, but scattered along
almost every street. Speaking of
trim cottages, it may be remarked
that paint, judiciously applied, |
often adds as much to- their attract /
iveness as flowers and trees. Any
one can see this who will notice the
residence of Mr.. Hoting, Consul Of
Chile, whose house has lately been
FURNISHED by an artist of taste,
which shows what a painters brush
can do.
Returning to roads, it must be
admitted that the road board,
through its supervisor, is doing |
first-class work, and there has
never been time during the past
ten years when our roads, as
whole, have been kept in better
condition or greater improvements
made in them than during the
present year. Mr.. Cummings has
been faithful and diligent officer, |
and under the immediate super
vision of Minister King, has accom-
plished more and better work than |
has been done by any of his pred
ecessors. Of course, the whole
city cannot be attended to at once,
but the Nuuanu sidewalks and |
other ugly places will be attended
to in time.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The police station scandal is
nothing new. For the past ten
years what is known as the "station
house gang" has been a disgrace to
every succeeding administration.
The police station reached its
height of unfavorable notoriety
when Mr.. C. w. Ashford was at
torney-general. Until lately, and
since the Provisional government
came into power, there has not even
been a disposition to reform mat
ters in that quarter. The plain
truth of the matter is that the "sta-
ton house gang" SO thoroughly
intrenched itself under the dis
graceful regime of the mon
archy that it will now
take heroic efforts to break it up.
When Marshal Hitchcock came |
into Office he felt he had not the
material at hand to reorganize and
purify the police department. His
judgment has been shown by the
facts to have been well grounded.
The disreputable condition of the
police department is acknow-
lodged on all hands and it is fortu-
nately the last remaining heritage
of the monarchy which continues !
to disgrace the country under the :
present regime. The inability of {
the Provisional government to, re-
form this department is one E
that any government under =
the same circumstances would find :
hard to overcome. Without the .
available material it is useless 70 6
ak of reforming the disgrilceful "
conditions which has characte rized =
he police station for the pas de- 4
'ade. Under the monarchy the =
'olice station was used as a po- =
ltical factor in elections, ancl its :,
were. felt throughout :,
ne entire islantls. The gov ern-
lent is at pres ent powerless to II
ear out the notorious stat ion =,
ouse combine until new and res h
,nsible men are available to sub :,
itute for the present incumb snts .,
he fault does not lie with the 6
sads of the department, but with, =
le makeup Of the force itself: -,
ime will furnish better meri, and; n
is safe to say that within six -,
aonths from date the government 6
7ill be able to make a general :,

REDWINE INDICTED.
He Robbed the Gate City Bank of Over
100000.

He Robbed the Gate City Bank of Over
100000.
ATLANTA, May 2-Redwine stands
alone responsible for the footing Of
the Gate City National Bank. The
United States grand jury virtually
decided that when, afCer continuous
session OF nearly month, that body
adjourned to-day, reporting indict-
meuts against Redwine and nobody
else. There has, since Redwine fled,
been a general belief that others
we're implicated with Redwine, aud
that the robbery Of the bank WAS the
result OF cons piracy. In this con-
necton the names of some OF the
bank officials and some Of Redwine's
personal friends have been more or
less directly used, aud the court Off
GERS have most Of the time worked Oh
the conspiracy theory, but it did not
pan out.
All the testimony emphasized the
fact that Redwine took the money
himself, or rather that he allowed 1t
10 be drawn from the bank and that
nobody else connected with the bank
Was in any way implicated in thes-
transactions.
The last act OF the grand jury was
TO return another Indictment. TINS
contains three counts, and places tue
amount embezzled by Rsdwine at
SOB, l4S.7S.
Tue different counts were merely
technical, to cover the different dates
at which the money may have been
taken. Another interesting phSse OF
the case that occupied the tention
OF the court to-day, was the contemp t
proceedings, by which the attorneys
for "the prosecution endeavored to
make Redwine answer questions con
corning the affairs of the bank,
These questions were as to certain
loans made by the bank and rs t.
some Of Redwine's transactions
Redwine's attorneys demurred tC
this method of procedure GA the
ground that to answer them migh'
tend to criminate himself, and Judg'
Newman to-day sustained R4dwine
holding that he had the constitu
tiOnal right to decline to testify If tn
evidence either tended to criminst'
him or form link in chain of fact
tending to crimiuate him. TN
probably closes the case until the
trial before the court, which has no
yet been set Redwine has bee
quite i'll in Jail, but is much better

The method of swallowing is a very
simple one, although if the frog be large
more than half an hour may be consumed
in the process The two bones of the
lower jaw are separate and capable of
independent movement; 30 the reptile
loosens its hold upon one side of its jaw,
and pushing that side forward as far as
possible it drives the teeth in again and
then draws the jaw back to its original
position.
The result is that the prey is drawn
down by the movement. The process is
then repeated by the other half of the
jaw, thus ine'-iUably forcing the victim
inward. The snakes skin stretches enor
mously, and the jaw is of course dislo
Gated, but the extensible hgaments hold
