FLAGS ARE not merely SO many yards of

short of heroic Is an eternal disgrace to
the regiment losing them. Only death
can excuse the color guard from defending
them. and when he has been shot or cut
down others should be ready to stand by

her colors except to NJ knowledge defeat.
For this reason when in that great sea
duel between Paul Jones Bonhommie
Richard and the English Serapis which
lasted far into the night, the ensign was
shot away from the hulyards, Lieutenant
Stafford plunged into the sea after 1t, and
braving "a double dcath--he was, in fact
wounded while swimming-saved 1t and
set il again, and It was the Scraps which

flags were combined when England and
Scotland united i'm 1888, and on the union

PREVENTION BETTER.

The accident to a brake which
resulted in ditching a car on
Nuuanu avenue, near School street,
yesterday was owing to the usual
neglect of duty on the part Of the
tramways management. 1t is
much better to tell the truth now
and, if possible, avoid further
accidents through similar neglect
than hereafter to be obliged to
severely censure the Tramways
Company after innocent people are
killed outright in order to crafty
Mr.. Paiue's desire to pay dividends
promptly in London on the Com
pany's watered stock.
This is written after several
months close observation OF the
methods employed by the Tram
ways Company. The course which
has been pursued by Mr.. Paine
since he took the management Of
the road has led people to believe
that his position depends upon his
grinding a sufficient number of
dividends out of the Honolulu pub
lie to crafty his foreign share
holders and masters.
To accomplish this end the
Tramways Company has persist
emily refused 10 make ordinary and
necessary repairs and the cars have
for the past year or more been al
most literally dropping to pieces
piecemeal They have been run in
the most filthy and dilapidated con-
dition. Where hinge has dropped
from the wheel guards the pieces
have been merely nailed back;
the screw heads stand up in the
seats, the curtains are filthy and
tattered, the floors are dirty, the
dashboards are loose and the steps
are slippery and dangerous.
Thurs lays accident which, by the
merest chance, the car being empty,
was not fatal to life, is but a fore
taste of what the public may ex-
pect in the future. Wear and tear
has reached a point where any
further neglect by the Tramways
Company will resolve itself into
criminal carelessness. Yesterday
a brake broke simply because it
had been allowed to become weak
or loosened by wear from lack of
inspection. Proper inspection and
ordinary repairs would likely cost
Mr.. Paine's shareholders a divid-
end year; hence his neglect A
dividend is very great matter to
Mr.. Paine, but the lives of the
innocent wives and children of his

The Bulletin paid the STAR the
compliment of devoting its entire

The fact is the Bulletin received no
trustworthy information on that

as its editor alleges; he knew he

ately published the mis-statements
he did to crafty little personal
spite and get back at Americans
and the supporters Of the Republic,
for whom he bears no love.
The lone imaginary American he
quotes as the fellow responsible for
his impression, which he admits
only lasted a few hours, was
probably one of those well-known
fellows who occasionally write anti
American rot in the Bulletin over
the signatures of American, y
