THE STANDARD OIL q
COMPANIES WANTS
Kerosene Warehou Desired
Transactions of Gov
ernOr's Council.

A private kerosene warehouse is
wanted by Castle &c Cooke for the stor-
age of oil shipped here by the Standard
Oil Company. An application was filed
with Treasurer Lansing to that effect
which was read before the Governor S
council yesterday morning. 1t is the
intention of Castle & Cooke, in case the
application is granted, to erect a COM
modiouS warehouse, to hold sufficient
oil to meet all eXiSencies of the market.
The matter was referred to Attorney
| General Dole.
A light wine and beer license was
granted to Morimoto at Hoolualo, Ha-
wall, on condition that the resort is
placed at the legal distance from the
schoclhouse in that place.
Application for a similar license for
Ak d Co., at AAawaihae, Hawaii, was
deferred.
Application from T. F. Lansing and
| l.. l.. McCandless for water rights at
| Waiahole was made by Commissioner
of Public Lands Brown. Superinten-
dent of Public Works was requested tt
investigate the flow of water with q
view to determining whether the Gov

purposes, for example, electric lights.

to give such right of way in return fol-
land now occupied by Sorensen & Lyle

terments be charged to the estate at
any time; that the roadway be placed
at right angles to the beach road, and
that 1t be completed by 1901. The mat

HAS FRISCO THE PLAGUF.
Report to That Effect Comes From
Sacramento.

According to a story in the Sacra-
mento Bee of August 18th plague has
again broken out in San Francisco. The
Bee tells of the death of white man,
who had been a habitue of Chinatown
and morphine fiend. with all the
symptoms Of plague. The mans name
was William Murphy and he died at the
City and County Hospital six hours
after he had arrived there. Not until
after his death was his disease dag
nosed as plague. and then n post
TEN examination showed signs that
pointed directly to that disease. The
case was the first that has been re-
ported In San Francisco where white
person had been affected.
The San Francisco papers OF August
18th and 18th say nothing whatever OF
any plague In the city. and no informa-
ton has been received in this city that
the disease exists there. DIR. Carmichael
said yesterday that he had no official
news on that score and he was still
acting under instructions to admit all
vessels from San Francisco with a
clean bill OF health.

There are good reasons why the Jap

among the soldiers OF the world. To
begin with they have n fanatical pa.

the war of isg4-5 there was not de-

though his comrades were falling all
about him. and there was one typical
case where forty men attacked the adj
vance guard OF the Chinese army, 5000
strong. and held their ground until help
arrived.
Discipline Ia an inherited trait. In
the old days there were lords and vas-
sails in Japan and the vassals gave i'm
pllcit obedience to the lords. Now the
common people in the army serve their
officers In the same way. There Is no
thought of INSTRUMENTATION; the letter
of the order is observed. Hence wnen a
Japanese army moves 1t goes as "A ma

Meanwhile these coolies will subsist on

for a japanese soldier to pack three
weeks rations on his back. for they
consist of nothing but compressed rice
and tea; and then to march all day at a

Given patriotism. courage, endurance,
discipline and mobility, modern arms

eagerness to be classed with the white
races, educated officers and a general
staff that works out problems as surely

the ideal army. Such Is the military

THE GRAND JURY LIBELED.

Enragpd because Its charges against
the Republican administration OF Ha-
wall failed to impress either the Grand
Jury or the people. the yellow journal
accuses the jurymen OF being organ
ICED to whltewash. This means that
seventeen representative citizens, every
man well known and respected for his
integrity, violated their oaths and per-
petrated an offence against Justice and
good government 30 that certain oiii-
ciais who deserve indictment might
escape H. The term "whitewash," used
in the connection given II means all
that and more and it constitutes IL
libel as gross as any OF which the
Grand Jury In its report pronounced the
yellow journal guilty.
Who are the men whose names and
regulations are slurred by the yellow
scold whose sponsors are already sorry
for its appearance In this community?
We give them as they appear appended
10 the report which the morning libel

If there were no other certificate OF
character for the Grand Jury report
these names would be sufficient.
One of the reasons why the yellow
journal objects to the Jury is that the
latter was not under the control and
responsive to the spites and petty re-
vengefulness of the Sewal machine.
That is why the paper objected to its
personnel al the outset and tried to get
High Sheriff Brown into trouble be-
cause he had not consulted the party
leaders before drawing the names.
What was wanted most of all was a
political jury: one that would accept
malicious gossip as gospel truth and
indict whomsoever the machine might
want TO remove from office. Because
the High Sheriff would not degrade his
official powers to such plane of in
decency he was abused without stint;
and now that the Jury has proved itself
incorruptible 1t is also abused.
Chagrned as they are at the fall
ure to wreck the Republican Territorial
administration, the machine politicians
console themselves with the belief that
way can be found to deprive the
High Sheriff of his jury drawing pre-
negatives and confer them upon crea-
ture of the ring. Witness this threat
in the editorial columns of our yellow
contemporary:
1t is to be hoped. In the interes, of good
government for Honolulu. that the next
Grand Jury will be drawn and summoned
by an Elisor especially appointed by the
court. and that 1t will be bereft of such
liberal supply of whitewash, as seemed
TO be in the keeping of the body just
adjourned. y.J
Certainly, turn over the drawing of
the Jury to a ringster and when drawn
instruct that body to let no innocent
man escape. This is the whole scheme
part of the conspiracy to get the polIt-
ical control of Hawaii into hands that
would use II to line their pockets at the
expense Of the taxpayers. Thanks to
the indiscretions of an angry scribe the
people are forewarned and Will jealous
ly scrutinize the methods Of the next
Grand Jury drawing.

How To Regulate The Drink Habit.

Chaplin Pierce of the United States
army, who has been in the Philippines
on the firing line with the troops for
over year, contradicts, in his report
to the adjutant general, the statement
that the American occupation Of Man
lila has increased the number of saloons.
The city was formerly full of native
huts where the gin of the country-a
drink fatal in its effects-was openly
sold. The drinking of beer, of which
so much has been made by critics of
the army, is certainly preferable to the
drinking of gin. Mr.. Pierce urges that
the people who wish to promote tenn
perance should subscribe to the project
of establishing reading rooms where
the cheerful surroundings will tempt
men away from the saloons. He does
not favor mere restrictive legislation,
but moral suasion. There can be no
doubt of the good sense of his conclu-
slOns.-Providence Journal,
