While the monotonous notes of the
Chinese fiddle and kettle drum were
pouring forth in ever-increasing num-
6ers from the Chinese theater between
s and Z O'Clock last night poor Wong
Sing, Chinaman about thirty years
of age, was writhing in the agonies of
death in front of the Chinese cigar
stand opposite the o. r. & L. depot on
King street.
Eye-witnesses say that the China
man was walking along from the di
rection of Kapalama and had reached
the front of the cigar store when he
began to stagger. He Knocked his
foot against board and then fell
hesdlong, finally turning with his
face upward.
The man breathed for a very short
time and then died, leaving a CHASTITY

Wong Sing came down lately from
Hawaii and intended returning to
China.

SOBRIETY AND PATRIOTISM.

If the Sunday night sermon OF
Rev. Mr.. Peck has been properly
reported. it would appear that the
reverend gentleman is thoroughly
convinced that Honolulu needs
sPsrkhursting," that the Govern
ment needs a new religious birth
and one religious organization at
least is dabbling in ward politics
We realize fully that this energetic
pastor is prompted by the best OF
motives, that he has the welfare OF
the nation st heart and sincerely
desires to see greater purity in the
religious atmosphere OF the eoun.
try. Yet, even on religious topics,
there is an opportunity for an hon
est difference of opinion as to the
ways and means of obtaining thi.
publication. From the remarks OF
last Sunday the casual observer
might easily draw the conclusion
that We OF Honolulu are overrun
with spiritual rottenness of a disa-
greeable type, if not the worst. Mr..
Peck slashes right and left, puts his
knife in at one end of the town,
rips along at q dashing rate, and
tells Us he has not finished his
work.
But with a few exceptions, We
find Mr.. Peck tearing up old
ground, ground that is today being
quietly but none the less carefully
worked over, and slowly but none
the less surely improved We
must admit that there Is plenty OF
sin and iniquity in this city

terial attack upon church organi-
zstions and Government officers
whose official integrity and ability
Is un9uestioned- We are told
there is common rumor that ap-
plicants for Government positions
must either be in with "Tim'sr
gang or 'join the Central Union
Church" Are We to consider that
the head OF the Methodist Church
believes these rumors to be true ?
Ii so, 1t is equal to saying that
applicants should keep away from
the Central Union Church and
Friend Tim" If they wish to re-
tain their self-respect. We know
OF nothing more to be Stunned
by self-respecting manhood than
-toadyism" On this point at least
Mr.. Peck, in his ministerial capz-
city, kicks over the traces. He
gives importance to street rumor,
a jOcular expression, that is not
worthy of passing attention. Pos
sibly Honolulu does need Park

The steady increase in
sugar values has caused
plantation owners and every

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 run
ming steadily, and it is but
proper that the attention of
mill men should be called to
the best grades of lubricants.
Ii has been demonstrated
beyond question that Colo

oil introduced here has given
such general satisfaction as
the Colorado. 1t is the best

facturad--for the reasons that
it has body and strength, the
two great essentials that 60
toward making an oil that
will fulfill all requirements.
The Colorado has received
the endorsement of numer-
Gus engineers on the differ

The best evidence of its
popularity and superior quail
ity is the fact that it is used
all over the islands, and has
given the best of satisfaction
in every case. An engineer
knows a good thing as we'll
as any one else, and when
once Colorado oil is used,
none other will be given

We have another brand of
oil--Coronado, which is not
so high priced, but is guar
anteed good lubricant for
all kinds of machinery. This
can be furnished in grades
for mill and engine use, and
for valve and cylinder, at
satisfactory prices.
We can furnish any grade
or priced engine oil desired,
but advise you to buy only
the best quality--for in oil
as in other things, it always
pays to buy the best.
All oils sold by us are

MUNROE DOCTRINE AND HAWAII.

The Chicago Times-Herald, in
leader of recent date. calls attention
to the disagreement of the political
doctors in the application of the
Monroe Doctrine to the Latin
Americans, and further suggests
that there is one quarter OF the
globe where there is no question as
to the necessity of the exercise of
this standard principle of American
politics. The section referred to is
that pin point OF the Pacific" as
one of our Boston newspaper cor
respondents once called it, the Ha-
waiian Islands. The Times-Herald
sizes up the situation as approach
ing critical point where prompt
action is demanded. "A struggle
will arise at no distant day between
the Whites and the Fellows for
supremacy. The Whites are bound
to win. They are the fittest they
will survive. But they will be
overborne if left to themselves.
They must have the moral and
material aid that can be derived
from only an organized western
constitutional government. They
will seek this aid successfully from
Great Britain if it be finally denied
them by the United States" 1t is
then asked what the United States
will do in event of another power
stepping in either by request or for
land-grabbing purposes only. How
could the United States continue
to warn others, if it should finally
refuse to take action ? Our Amer
lean contemporary joins hands
with many others in the idea that
the Hawaiian problems are rap
idly becoming acute.
.The whites consist OF Amer
leans numbering less than 1000;
British subjects estimated at 1900,
and German subjects estimated at
300. There are also small groups
of Portuguese, Norwegians and
French. There must be a combin-
alton OF the whites sooner or later
to prevent the government falling
into the. control OF the Asiatic ele-
ment. This element exceeds 10000
in numbers. The japanese nearly
half OF it, are the aspiring class. If
civil war should break out they
would be inevitably aided by their |
own country, with an outcome OF
Intervention by Great Britain and |
forcible acquisition OF the country
by title we would not have the
audacity to dispute after refusing
to listen to the appeals OF the
Americans when they, with no dis
senting voice among the British |
and Germans, besought annexation
TO the United States.
Here is a chance for a rational
OF the Monroe Doctrine.
We cannot suffer any Asiatic mon
archy to colombo what is already |
in truth and fact an American col
ony. President Cleveland has here
an open, incontestable and patri-
otto opportunity. Here will be
victory for the Monroe Doctrine
accomplished in peace and free
from the possible faint that might
attach to any Monroe Doctrine VIC
tory accomplished by war. Presi-
dent Cleveland Is not wanting in
courage. He knows that there is
no longer any chance that Con-
gress Will come to him on currency
