zens was "waste- basketed" by the
Attorney General without ever reach
ing the Council OF State in which
the power OF granting pardons is
vested. 1t vas an insult to the
Council which will probably be re-
membered on some future occasion.
Noa is an unusually ignorant Hawai-
ian and even the Star publishes a
statement from him that be was
"crazy" when he smashed the head
OF the Chinese storekeeper. The
apparent brutality OF the murder is
easily explained by the fact that
Noa was goat hunter, and that
goats are killed by Draining them
with any handy rock or club. We
do not desire to take up the cause
OF Noa, but we claim in the name Of
justice that the petition sent from
Molokai should have been laid be-
fore the Council OF State, and it
should have been for the members of
that august body to decide whether
the man alive as prisoner working
on the roads would not, be of more
value to the country than the swing
ing body of a dead Hawaiian, and
that punishment for his crime
would not be meted out adequately
by life imprisonment. Whatever
happens let us have a rest from the
style of journalism which minutely
describes where Jailor-beg pardon
warden--Low is to stand at the su-
pereme moment, and where Theo.
Hoffman is placing the electrical
buttons, the pressing of which is
supposed to do the rest for Noa.

MORE YELLOW JOURNALISM.

The Star furnished its readers
with foe peace Of "yellow" journ-
aIism yesterday. 1t gloried iu the
prospects Of the hanging of Noa,
the Molokai murderer; it wallowed
in all tho details Of the eventual
execution, and it published a "story"
which ought to have made even Mr..
Atherton of the Star disgusted. 1t
is possible that Noa will have to
suffer the death penalty, but the
people OF Hawaii are not yet sufii-
GENTLY depraved to encourage
morbid description OF the sad event.

When You Rushed Us

in the battle of the stoves and
ranges, you about cleared us
out of our stock, so we had
to take a second breath and re-
plenish our supplies. We are
now ready for you again with
all that YOU require. We
especially recommend that
superfne favorite the BLUE
FLAME OIL STOVE which
has won it's way into the affec-
tions of all by its superior
merits of cleanliness, freedom
from odor and general utility
The new stock contain several
improvements, notably one
f + the manipulation of the
wicks.
We call attention also to
our STEEL RANGES es-
pecially No. Z which you will
find exactly to your taste and
demands. Then we have a
very useful little ALCOHOL
STOVE with its AGATE
KETTLE. This you will
find invaluable. Then there
is the very useful and pretty
PANSY STOVE that has
proved such a hit. In fact
we have all kinds of Stoves
and Ranges and the imple-
ments connected with them,
and shall be only too pleased
to show them to you.

Every Portuguese in the Hawaiian
colony takes exception to the vulgar
remarks OF the Star in regard to
the Government of Portugal 10 con-
nection with to-day's celebration.
There may be Portuguese citizens
here who favor another form Of
government from that which now
guides the fates of Portugal, but. all
consider it bad form for the semi
official journal of Mr.. Dole, to pub
lish the article which appeared in
the last issue of the Star and which
is a direct insult to the diplomatic
representative OF the King of Portu-
gal to Hawaii. We republish the
whole paragraph to show the in
science, animosity and general idiocy
OF the government organ:"
This is the event that our Portu-
guese fellow citizens celebrate to-
day. Later on they will hava an
othor day to celebrate the fall OF
the monarchy aud the establishment
Of the Republic OF Portugal. This
will come in due time. The Brazil.
ian Portuguese have driven their
royal family into exile, and the
branch which rules over the little
kingdom will follow. The hereditary
peerage was reformed out Of exist
ence in 1883 and the hereditary
monarchy is bound to go. The
country has been ripe for revolution
for some years past and one day the
match will fall on the tinder, there
will be blaze, aud another Europe
an monarchy will have gone the way
OF all flesh. 1t is quite a question
in which of the two Kingdoms OF the
Peninsula the explosion will first
take place-Spain or Portugal-both h
are honey combed with the Repub
lican spirit, and both thrones are az
rickety as they can be.

Hawaii is celebrating to-day. They
feel proud and happy because two
centuries ago their ancestors after
war OF thirty years regained the in
dependence Of their country. To-
day they meet, shake hands aud en-
tertain the most friendly feelings
towards their Spanish neighbors.

They do not observe their Ma
tional Day in commemoration of the
slaughter of many Spaniards in their
great struggle for liberty aud inde-
pendence. Grateful to Providence
they remember only that victory
was their lot and that the end was
gained. All those who took part
in the great, just and patriotic
struggle for liberty are dust and
ashes. Portuguese and Spanish join
in honoring the men who crossed
the Styx in those bloody days, both
nations fighting for what was con-
sidered principle, and the right
side winning the day.
