A LESSON.

short time ago a guest of Lord
Russell of Halloween, lord chief justice
of England, died suddenly OF course
doctor was called in, and certified that
death occurred from an epileptic Mt.
But sudden deaths are not put into the
schedule of unknown" in England.
Though everything was plain, though
the death had occurred in the house of
the highest legal official in the kingdom,
though there could be no suspicion of
foul play, nevertheless an inquest was
duly held. and a verdict given in ac-
cordance with the evidence brought for
ward r.. ps
There is lesson in this to be taken to
heart by our officials here. Under no cir
cumstances is an inquest avoided in
England, when a sudden death has &C.
Cured. There has been a marvellous
charge for the better here within the
last few weeks, and the true sanctity Of
life is realized and investigation is held
promptly, but it has taken years to
reach the present satisfactory condi-
ton. Attention is called to the case
above mentioned to show that The Star
in it's campaign for having inquests
held in all cases of sudden death, is not
utopian in its desire, but that what it
has advocated, has been carried out
elsewhere, as it should be, with abso-
lutte impartiality and with no respect
whatever for persons or positions.

which all can feel satisfied with. The
schemes a foot are for stll further i'm
provements. OF course, II is true that
through the railroad, and through the
proportion of the large plantations,
which are adding to the permanent
wealth of the Islands, Mr. Dillingham;
has pushed his own fortunes, but he has
at the same time pushed the fortunes
of others.
Property along the line of railroad,
which, two years ago was worth little
or nothing, has either been sold at great
advance, or is bringing in rental
which was undreamed of in days gone
by. OF course it is true that but for
annexation this great progress would
that if the railroad had not been as
advanced as it was, the Island of Oahu
could never have taken advantage Of
annexation as easily or as quickly as 1t
has done.
1t is the nature of mankind to be jeal-
Gus of the successful, and to impute
motives to them which are entirely at
variance with their real nature. So Mr..
Dillingham; is sometimes represented as
a grasping monopolist now, instead of a
visionary dreamer as he was dubbed a
decade or two ago. That he should be
forward in all enterprises by no means
argues that he is grasping after power
or wealth. 1t only means that he is an
energetic man, who sees the goal of
prosperity ahead, and is foremost in
pushing towards it. What ever pros
perity comes does not go solely into Mr.
Dillingham's pocket, but is divided
among many who are helped. even
against themselves.

A COMING MISSION.

The proposal to establish mission sta
lions in Mindanao argues energy upon
the part of those who have brought the
question forward and steered it to-
wards practical fruition.
People view missionary enterprises
from such different standpoints that
any effort of this kind is met with ex-
travagant praise in one direction, and
by sneers and the basest of innuendo
as to ultimate motives from another
A mere duty in enhanced by one section
as something transcendent, while the
other section can see no call of duty
and suggests that everything is done for
gain, and to fill pockets. But the even
minded man need not indulge in extra
VACANT praises. nor need he seek for
sinister motives in action which is actu-
ally laudable.
To establish mission in Mindanao
will be no light task. Many parts of
the island are very wild, and the south
ern part of the island is open to at
tacks from the piratical inhabitants of
the Sulu group, who are fanatical Mo-
]
to break ground, as it were, will have
no mean mission before them. They will
have to face real physical danger and
some of them are very likely to fail
victims to their cause. To their honor
be it said that there are plenty ready to
brave death in what they consider a
sacred cause.
That the religious people of the Unit
ed States will assist such a movement
may be regarded as certain. The Phi
| lippine Islands have been a close pre-
serve for the Spanish phase of Roman
Catholicism, and this is characterized
by it's eXclusiveness and its bigotry.
Now that the United States is suzer-
ain, that the eXclusiveness is no longer
possible, and it will be emnently to the
advantage of the people that it should
be broken.
1t speaks well for the energy of the
religious section of Hawaii that an eff
! fort of this kind should have it's incep-
| ton and should meet with liberal as
sistance in this territory. But naturally
the people of these Islands are better
acquainted with the needs of the in
habitants of the Philippine archipelago,
than are people on the mainland. And
no doubt earnest workers will come
from among the ranks of those whom
worked among us.

PRAISE FOR PROGRESS.

Any one who makes a trip round the
Island of Oahu on the railroad must be
struck with energy and determination
which has carried that work through,
and made it the great success which it
is. Seeing it now, one hardly realizes
through what difficulties it's promoter
has had to pass, before reaching the
present satisfactory condition of af-
fairs. When one looks back and thinks
of the time when b. F. Dillingham; was
looked upon as a visionary dreamer,
and when the old fossils and mossbacks
of that day used to gable about the
railroad and show conclusively that it
would never pay and that the investors
were beguiled of their money, and to
prophesy genially the most utter disas-
ter and then compare present condi-
tiOns, there is nothing but credit to be
given to one man, and that is to b. F.
Dillingham;.
And it is not only what has been done
but what will be done in the future
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-06-14

There never was an appointment
made by the government which did not
in nine cases out of ten call forth unfa-
rOrable comment. The old homely
proverb of the proof of the pudding is
in the eating" is one to consider before
bursting forth in adverse and carping
criticism. The appointing power may
know what it is about great deal bet
ter than the outsider does. One can
point to a dozen positions filled by cap
able men, who before they took office,
had made no particular mark but who
developed powers, of organization and
executive ability which made them In
valuable when responsibility was put
upon them. 1t is always wise to re-
serve criticism till there is cause for It's
being called forth The very person
criticized may in, course of time, prove
to be one upon whom great praise may
fall for ability and firmness in the office
entrusted to him.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE IA, 1899.

The story brought up from Kauai of
the supposed loss of five men between
Hanalei and waimea is somewhat sem
sational. The telephone does not ex-
tend through Napali, along which the
men intended to coast on their way to
Hanalei. Communication with the three
valleys that pierce this precipitous
coast is very imperfect, and it is quite
possible for the, men to have reached
one on Thursday, and not be heard Of
ON Sunday or Monday. This, however,
is certain that they left Hanalei and did
not reach Waimea, for there is tele-
phonic communication between those
points through the eastern and south
ern parts of the Island.

The "Jewel" Stove is saving on your

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-06-14

The idea of a cooking school to in
struct cooks is a good one. 1t is not
that there are not good cooks in Homo
lulu, but that any incompetent aspirant
who has washed dishes in some we'll
kept house, goes off and represents him
self as Mrs. So And Sos cook, and thus
gets an engagement at a wage that he
is utterly unentitled to. There will be
difficulty with cooks certificates, just
as there is difficulty with servants
characters" in England, for certificates
will be 'saleable articles, and on the
departure of successful cook to Chi
ma, he will certainly make money out
of the certificate, and an incompetent
might obtain possession of it. But the
cooking school is a step in the right di-
rection, and will surely do much good.
The certificate system will be a check,
and the tendency will be to unite the
employers of cooks and do away in a
great measure with those whose claims
are spurious.
