BAD CRIMINAL RECORD.

In the editorial office of the Chi.
cago Tribune is an antedeluvian
newspaper writer who devotes his
entire time during the year to
gathering statistics from the news
papers each day of the crimes COM
mitted throughout the United
States. 1t is a decided gruesome
task and the record he has given
to the world for the year 1895 is
one that ought to set the people
of one of the foremost nations of
the world to putting on their
thinking caps. After reading the
figures which he has set before the
public we have no reason to be
surprised that many Europeans
think of the United States as a
country where champagne bottles
are uncorked with revolvers and
the wild and woolly hero of
the dime novel reigns supreme.
The United States includes such
an immense territory that it's resi-
dents are not impressed with the
appalling increase of crime until
brought face to face with the grand
total for the year just passed and
the comparative tables for the past
ten years.
The results as given by the
Tribune this year show that the
total of murders has swollen from
$500 for 1894 to 10000 in 1895.
The catses OF slaughter are given
as follows; Quarrels, 4S13; un-
known, 1856; jealousy, 1876; Ii
quor, 6S4; by highwaymen, AL;
infanticide, 269; resisting arrest,
232; highwaymen killed, 159; in
sanity, 101; self-defense, 104;
strikes, IS; outrages,' 40; riots, %.
In looking over the homicidal
record for the past ten years we
find that the number of murders |
has increased from 1449 in 1886 to
the number previously given,
10000. During this period the
increase has been at the rate of
about 1000 each year, with the ex-
ception of the year 1888, when
there was a falling off of 151 from
the record of 1887. Cold, calm
figures show us that the knife,
bludgeon and pistol have caused a
loss of life equal to that of almost
any of the great battles of history.
1t tells us that Notwithstanding
the world is constantly growing
better, there is still much that is
in modern civilization.
Its next to impossible to account
for this steady advance in every
detail. The increase in population
md the improved facilities for
the statistics are features
hat must be taken into account.
)ne interesting and significant
eature, however, is the record OF

; The steady increase in
sugar values has caused
plantation owners and every
body interested in the pro-
duction of that staple COM
modify much satisfaction.
| This is as it should be, for
without sugar what would
become of the country. Of
course there are other and
varied industries, but none
so important and profitable
as sugar.
In order to make sugar the
mills must be kept going,
and to do this will require
oil. This is the time that all
mills in the islands are rum
ming steadily, and it is but
proper that the attention of
mill men should be called to
the best grades of lubricants.
1t has been demonstrated
beyond question that Colo
RADIO Oil is of superior quail
ity and best suited to the
requirements of plantation
machinery of all kinds. No
oil introduced here has given
such general satisfaction as
the Colorado. 1t is the best
quality of lubricant manu-
faCtured--for the reasons that
it has body and strength, the
two great essentials that go
toward making an oil that
will fulfill all requirements.
The Colorado has received
the endorsement of numer-
GUS engineers on the differ
ent plantations of the islands.
The best evidence of its
popularity and superior quail
ty is the fact that it is used
all over the islands, and has
given the best of satisfaction l
n every case. An engineer
a good thing as we'll
as any one else, and when
once Colorado oil is used,
hone other will be given
lOuSerOom.
We have another brand of
oil- -COrOnadO, which is not
50 high priced, but is guar
a good lubricant for S
III kinds of machinery. This 5

We can furnish any grade /

'ut advise you to buy only
he best quality--for in oil
IS in other things, it always
'ays to buy the best.
All oils sold by us are $
guaranteed and when you b
