HIS GRAcE's COON SHOT.
The Duke of Newcastle's Pet Seeks
Pullets but Gets Bullets.

Two shots were heard in yard on
Beretania street, in the rear of the
Hotel, about 3 o'clock this morning.
Captain Hookano, who was making
his rounds, heard the shots, and en-
tered the yard. There be confronted
Ernest Marriott with smoking pistol
in his hand, and dead raccoon lying
on the ground. 1t appears that the
raccoon, a pet animal belonging to
the Duke of Newcastle, who lives in
a cottage on the Hotel grounds,
went into the yard and killed several
chickens. Marriott heard the cackling
of fowls this morning and having
an idea it was chicken thief went
out to reconnoitre. He saw the
animal gliding along and thinking
it was mongoose fired at it twice.
One bullet entered it's head and the
other its body. Captain Hookano
took the coon to the Police Station.
The Duke of Newcastle called at the
Station at 8 o'clock, and wanted to
know the damage done by his pet.
He also asked if anyone around the
Station knew how to skin the coon,
and was told there was plenty of
skilled hands. Officer Hart was
awarded the contract to skin the
animal.

Only Took Office Temporarily--Jas.
H. Hunt His Probable Successor.
Mr.. Frank Hustace, Chief Engi-
neer of the Honolulu Fire Depart
ment, sent In his resignation a few
DAYS ago to the Board of Commits
sioners, to take effect the end of the
present month. The matter will be
considered on the last Thursday of
this month. Mr.. Hustace in CONVEX
sation with BULLETIN reporter
stated that he had only taken the
position for a period of six months,
in order to get the department into
good and efficient working order.
This object he considered had been
attained, and he retired satisfied that
the city had very efficient corps of
fremen.
"There is one thing I regret" he
said, land that is that there is NO
machine on the plains. Engine Co
No. ought to be stationed there
and No. l engine, which has the
strongest pumping capacity, can
take care of the town. Even if No
2 is required in town, with the pre-
sent corps the machine could be
brought into town inside of ter
minutes. No. 2 has eight men, in
Guiding the foreman; No. l, four
men, and Hose Co. has five men,"
Mr.. Hustace said he would retire
to his business, and it was probable
that Foreman James H. Hunt would
fill the vacancy. The retiring in
cumbent has the honor of being tn,
first to hold the office in the paid
Fire Department.

Mr. Jones and men of his class, arr
endeavoring to create a paternalisu
in this country, closely akin TO the
paternalism of the Old World. There
the King knows best what is for the
citizens good. and must be obeyed
here, it is the company that is expect
ed to be a father or step-father to its
employees The whole principle is
wrong, and the men see it, let Mr.
Jones shut of his music and electric
lights never so quick. The logical
other end to the avenue upon which he
and others of his kind have entered is
Socialism. or Nationalism. as it has
come to be called. and the people are
not going TO walk therein.
Let Mr.. Jones cut out this bit OF
Democratic doctrine. and paste it in his
hat for future reference.
The workingmen of this country de-
mand for their labor sufficient to live
upon, and to pinch in something for
the rainy day, if they feel SO disposed.
and that they, after they have received
all that they are justly entitled TO, be
left to their own devices. They are
not asking charity; they are demand
ing justice. IL.

To Abolish Fines.

The Sedalia Dessocrat wants all fines
abolished, at least those upon which
Jail sentences are contingent Itargues
the point well and tells some very
wholesome facts. The man who has
been convicted of an ofTense under a
felony may escape jail sentence If he
has money, and in some instances he
may escape Imprisonment foi felony,
but the man without money must un-
dergo a term of Imprisonment. All
men who claim respectability are anx-
ious too keep out of Jail and viii pay
any fine within their means to escape a
sentence, and under our criminal Twas
they can purchase freedom from such
disgrace by paying fines The man
without money, however. must go to
Jail because of his poverty.
The Democrat holds that offenses of a
similar nature should be punished alike.
Ii it is made Jail sentence for a poor
man to commit an offense. the same
punishment should be meted out to the
man of means who is gully of like of
fense, and no one should be permitted
to escape By the mere payment of a
fine. It strikes Us that the arguments
OF the Democrat are worthy some at
tention. and that the legislature can

The Briggs Controversy.

TIE acquittal of DR.. Briggs is simply
another indication among many tina,
the New York Presbytery has aband-
oned the old and conservative ground
of Presbyterian orthodoxy. and that il
viii take the lead in the new and nber-
al school that will result from the
rupture of the denomination, of which
the chances are now greater than ever.
On the same general charges DR..
Smith was convicted in Cincinnati and
DR.. Briggs is triumphantly acquitted in
New York. At the last General As
sembly the sentiment of the vast ma
jority was fatty and decidedly and
uncompromisingly against DR.. Briggs
criticism of the Bible as fallible and
faulty book. If he had been on trial
there instead of New York, he would
have contained two-thirds of the body.
Those two-thirds represent the prevail
ing sentiment of the Presbyteries in the
Union. The New York Presbytery is
in small minority only. 1t does not
represent the Presbyterian conviction
at the West and at the South.
1t may be assumed. then. that this
Briggs controversy is not settled. but
viii be waged with all the more bitter
ness because the New York Presbytery
stands apart from the most earnest
faith of the denomination There is
no reason to suppose that the General
Assembly to meet next May will be any
less hostile to his views than was the
last. The conviction of DR.. Smith in
Cincinnati shows where the West stands
and if anywhere outside of New York
the yeast of doubt and denial had been
working long and successfully. il was
