MAY RESULT IN THE DEATH OF NEGRO.
 SHOT IN THE LUNGS.
 About 12:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, {, in Jones' saloon at Bessemer, tragedy took place which will result in Ben Davis, a negro, losing his life. Davis was in the back part of the saloon playing pool, and when the game was ended Jack Burrows, the bartender, went back to collect for it.. The negro refused to pay the bill and some hot words passed betw cen the negro and bartender.
 Finally lick or two was passed, whe n Davis is said to have thrown ball at Bur rows. The ball was lodged and Burrows pulled pistol, which he fired three times at the negro. One of the balls took effect in his right lung and will produce d ath, as the physicians say there Is no hope for him.

CENTRAL REGISTRATION.
A Petition to be Presented to the
Councils Today.

It is understood that the central
committee OF the American Union
party will memorabilia the Coun-
ellis at their meeting this after
noon, in favor of change in that
portion o. the election law which
relates to registration, so that the
registering of voters for Honolulu
will all be done at one central
Office instead of in each of the ten
voting precincts as at present.
Those who have been familiar
with the practical working of the
present system are confident, that
by having one central Office in
charge of a competent and reliable
official with the necessary assist
ance, the work can be done with
degree of intelligence, efficiency
and uniformity that has never been
attained, and cannot be expected
under the present arrangement.
Instead of three or four sessions of
a few hours each such as are now
held by the inspectors in the diff
ferent precincts, it is proposed that
the office shall be open every day
during business hours for as long
a time as may be necessary, and
evenings as well. This will allow
ample time to make proper in
quiries In doubtful cases and Sc
cure a cleaner registry than we
have ever yet had. Among the
to be obtained will be
the preventing of duplicate regis
tration in different districts and,
in cases of change of residence, the |
placing of any name on one list |
until it has been erased from the |
one where it was been before.

popular sovereignty fails In whole
or IN part, for unless public opin-
ion is strongly aroused, the will
which shapes legislation is that of
a small representative body, and
not the will of the people at al.
The referendum cures this evil,
and affords a direct method of
ascertaining and giving effect to,
the general will.
On the other hand, the referen-
dunn must be used with care or it
will degenerate into an abuse.
One of the distinct advantages of
representative government is that
certain delicate and complex pow
ers are delegated by the people to
individuals qualified by special
powers and training to exercise
them. The people gets the benefit
in law-making of special training
and technical skill. 1t WoulG nave
been very foolish for instance, if
Secretary Carlisle had referred the
question of an issue of bonds or
the coming OF the seignorage, TO
the direct vote of the people.
The vote of the New York As
sembly referred to above, affords
an admirable example of the
proper use of this convenient insti-
tuition.
Why should not the institution
of the referendum be introduced
into the fundamental law of Ha-
wall 7?

SHALL WE HAVE ITALIANS?

The experiments in labor i'm
portation made In the last twenty
years are past all counting, but no
effort has ever been made to obtain
Italians, though attention has been
drawn to the subject by Colonel
Spalding and others. Labor is
lower in England than in the
United States, lower in Germany
than in England, lower in Italy
even than in Germany. 1t looks
as if by the time this Italian
wages-rate is reached, something
might be found which would fit
Hawaii. Certainly, wages are low
enough.
The following figures on the
rates of wages paid in different
employments in Italy are derived
from a report made by the United
States Labor Commission in 1885.
They will be found of great in
terest:

NEW YORK AND THE REFERENDUM.

The Outlook remarks that there
may be an American city of 3,00O,-
600 inhabitants sooner than has
been anticipated. The New York
Assembly has passed bill almost
unanimously which provides for
referendum of the question to the
voters OF the counties involved.
The population OF the cities and
villages which will be brought to-
gether under a single municipal
government, if the desired con-
solidation is effected, aggregates
three millions, of which New York
alone furnishes more than eighteen
hundred thousand. Whether I'M
der one municipality or a dozen,
the real New York is the second
center of population in the civil
liked world, yielding to London
only. Whether its growth will
ever give it magnitude exceeding
that of the commercial capital of
the world may well be doubted, for
the growth of London is also phe-
nomenal.
What, however, is chiefly inter
esting about the action of the New
York Assembly is that it is an APP
plication of the referendum.
This institution, while in some
cases of doubtful expediency,
is in others most valuable
and is destined to have
much more extensive action
than at present. 1t is a conve-
nient corrective to the disadvan-
tages of representative as distin-
guished from direct popular gov
eminent. Questions of Importance
are continually arising in legisla-
tive bodies, which were not consid-
cred by their constituencies which
elected them. In such instances.

Maych II, 1894.

Every smoker knows that
when certain brands of tObac-
co, cigars or cigarettes are
first introduced to the public
their quality is superior. The
finest leaf is selected and IN
usual attention is devoted to
the treatment and marufac-
ture. Being a superior arti-
Gle for the money than the
consumer has been accustom-
ed to smoking the sale reaches
enormous figures. In six
months the article becomes
known by the name rather
than for it's quality, because
once the demand is created
the manufacturer looks out for
a way to recoup himself for
the expense of introduction by
advertising and the extraor-
binary quality of material
used. Usually drugs are re-
sorted to because of their
cheapness and seductive quail
ties and the consumer seldom
notices the difference until his
health begins to fail. So much
for tobacco.
There are other articles that
meet with the same sort of
treatment, but who would
suspect that axle grease was
one of them? One brand has
been on the market so many
years that it is sold entirely
by the name, quality has moth
ing to do with it; we sell it
and every other dealer does,
because some people want it,
but we have a better article
for less money in Monogram"
Axle Grease, for which we are
sole agents for the Islands. A
drayman whose wagons carry
tons and tons of freight during
a year has been using it for
the past three months pro-
nounces it superior to any
thing he has ever tried and our
arrangements with the manu-
facturers are such that they
are obliged to keep the article
up to it's present standard.
We have it in large sized
buckets which sell at 81 Is
each or in small wood boxes
sold singly or in cases, This
grease has been tried side by
side with other makes and
proven better in every respect.
We would be glad to have
your order for a box, a bucket
or a case.

A genuine Italian agricultural
population would probably prove
thrifty and laborious, and there
would, perhaps, be no objection to
such an immigration if all other
sources were stopped. 1t is hardly
probable, however, that Italians
could be diverted from so attract
i've a field as the United States and
induced to come to country which
can differ so little in comparison.

the Bermudas. For period Of more than
q quarter Of a century after this, however,
tobacco and beaver skins were reckoned as
lawful currency. In i645 the assembly Of
Virginia met and declared that II had ma
turely weighed and considered how advan-
tageous quoine (coin) would be 10 this
colony, and how much better II would be
than . sole dependency upon tobacco and

coinage Of copper coins Of the dsnomina-
