specimen of the Zuleika Varigatus, rare
species of rose from Turkey, has been handed in
TO this office. 1t grown by Mr.. VIM. Llsh-
man, Makiki, and is believed to be the first of
the kind seen in these Islands. The leaves are
orange-colored, thickly marked with dark and
bright red veins, and in a great multiplicity of
folds in the bud. There is a sweet and delicate
perfume from the lOwer.-[Bulletin.
The production of the Zuleika Varigatus
is a beautiful example of natural selec-
ton" In the process, common white
or buff rose is carefully removed while in
is first fresh bloom, and its stem inserted
in a glass containing a quantity of red
ink By the force of capillary attraction,
the fluid is drawn into the veins of the
flower petals, coloring them in the man
ner indicated. This is the first part of
the process. 1t is completed by the
"grower" of the new rose naturally Sc
lecting some one whose olfactorY nerves
are more sensitive to the sweet and deli
cate perfume from the flower than to the
smell of the large sized ''rat" involved in
its multiplicity of folds, and the process is
complete.

CHINESE PROGRESS ABROAD.

When the British took possession
of the island of Hongkong, it was a
barren and inhospitable spot, the re-
sort of river thieves and pirates. 1t
is now thickly peOpled by Chinese
who have gradually mOnOpolized
every trade and business. The actual
state of facts has been graphically
described by Mr.. Albert Subtitle,
special correspondent of the San
Francisco Chronicle.
Formerly the bulk of the retail business
at Victoria was in English hands. Now the
Chinese have driven ont the English and
taken their places They sell all the fur
niture, groceries, clothes, wines, liquors,
shirts, Undertaking, mems furnishing
goods, toilet articles, perfumery, clocks,
watches, boots and shoes that are con
sumed by the residents of Hongkong. They
photographs, build houses, manufacture
poeket-knives and razors, set type, run
steam engines. All these things they do as
we'll as the English and great deal cheaper.
They make pocket-knife which sells for a
nickel and for another nickel you can have
Rodgers name cut on the blade. They
make razor, with the Sheffield stamp, for
Is cents. They sell American perfumery for
half the wholesale price at Philadelphia.
English stOrekeepers have had to retire
from business, being unable TO compete
with their Chinese rivals, who undersell
them in every branch. Presently they will
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1885-05-07

grab the wholesale trade as we'll. Chinese
children are being we'll educated at English
schools and trained to be bookkeepers; it
will not be long before the merchants,
bankers, shipping agents and insurance
agents are all Cinnamon. Our correspond
ent seems to think that lawyering and doc
toring are the only trades which Europeans
are likely to retain in their hands. The
very repairs on French ships which were re-
quired to fit them for the bombardment Of
Kelung were done by Chinese hands, and
the French we're much embarrassed when q
recent order from Canton forbade the
Chinese at Hongkong doing any more such
unpatriotic work.
This statement of fact carries with
il very pregnant lesson for the
Hawaiian Kingdom, if it is not to
pass under the absolute control of the
Mongolian race. Chinese Industrial
methods are the same everywhere,
and corresponding results to those
described above are being reached
in this city and throughout these
| islands. The AnglO-Saxon race has
engrafted its civilization, religion and
institutions upon the Hawaiian peo-
| pie, and it is bound in honor to pre-
serve them from extinction by an
other race and an antagOnistic ciyili-

MONOPOLY DENOUNCED.

Our critical contemporary, the Ga
zette, if not specially fair in politics,
sometimes hits the nail squarely on
the head on other matters. 1t man.
aged % do so yesterday in an article
on monopoly" As is very we'll
known, there has been but one mo-
nopoly in the Kingdom, and that ex-
listed without challenge or opposition
up to Monday last, when a rival
Bank was established. On Wednes-
day morning, after having drawn
free breath for the space of forty
eight hours, the Gazette plucked up
courage to describe the old and only
Hawaiian monopoly in the following
terse style:
For what is monopoly? 1t is the gather
ing together into the hands of one man or
a few men, the commercial gains of COM
munity. Everything has to be done to
bring grist to the monopoly mill it is an
oligarchy of wealth, and God help the nation
that falls under such rule.
Considering its relation to the old
time " oligarchy of wealth." this is a
very vigorous and effective denunci-
alton of its patrons. IF it only holds
on to it's repentant mood, we may
soon hope to see it doing directly
what it has already done by indirec-
ton. With such change of heart,
anything is possible to the Gazette.

Tampering With the American Mails.

A remarkable discovery was made on
board the White Star steamer Celtic,
which lately arrived at Liverpool from
New York. Three days out from New
York a mail bag was found concealed in
one of the saloon closets. 1t had been
cut open, and the contents, dispatches
from the British Consul at New York to
the Home Government, were torn and
crumpled, apparently after having been
read. Inside the bag was another specially
sealed, which also had been opened, but
it is not known if anything had been
distracted. The occurrence must have
taken place before leaving New York, as
it was impossible to get at the mails after
leaving the dock; and it is surmised that
it was an endeavor by the Fenians to ascer-
tain what was passing between the Consul
and the Government. Another theory is
that it was an attempt at robbery. The
affair, which has created some sensation,
is being Investigated.
