THE TEMPLE AFFRAY IN MALAYA,

MACHINATIONS. OF A SECRET BOCIETY.

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 7TH, 1909.

ACTION BY THE GOVERNMENT. Events are moving in connection with the extraordinary affair at the temple near Pudu on Monday night, says the Malay Mail of July 29. Hitherto there has been an element it mystery in connection with the strange incident, but there is no longer any room for doubt that the whole occurrence was the ont- secret society come of the machinations of posing under the garb of religion.

The temple in question was built, if we four and a half remember rightly, Be years ago; at least, it was commenced then; but it has been extended from time to time, au eren at the moment when the recent outbreak occurred, additions were just being made to it. It belonged to a soct known Taoists, a species of mongrel offabeot, we are informed, of the doctrines of Lao Taze, a con- tonporary of Confucius. This sect, if we may so style it, appears to be very largely of the utilitarian order, adopting as its motto soma. thing approaching the following, if we may be excused the parody: Religion was made for man, not man for religion; for we are informed that those connected with the temple in question were merely human beings of rather less than ordinary calibre men who, too idk to endea vour to earn an honest Jixelihood by legitimate means, resorted to underhand ones to enable life of case, if not larary, by plundering their ignorant fellow-men. And it was through the sening of such nion as these that the scano of the sharp tussle of Monday night sprang into existence. But we must leave it for a moment in order to bring events up to

THE STRAFTS DOLLAR.

There or some people, says the Singaporn Free Presa, who fondly imagined, when the Straits Government ordered that "Birty dollars shall be equal to £7," that most, if not all, of our currency tables were over. There was to be no more worry about the rate of exchange; there would be little or no chopping and changing in the prices of European goods; people with fixed wages would know exactly how much they had to save to ensure a sterling passage Home. And, for the Government, they would know exactly how much they were due to the Crown Agents for pensions, allowances; goods bonght and interent on loans. Well, many of these objects havo boen achieved. It was unfortunate that the rate of exchange was fired so for above current į ratus just before the purchase of Tanjong Pagar, because that made the sum to be paid so mach higher, and also lays the permanent barden an It is doubly unfortunate that while we have the Colony of paying capital ant interest at 214. increased the value of our deliar fifteen per cent, very few of the necessaries of life have been correspondingly reduced; while the domestic servant (to take a homely example) was former.
