THE BASEBALL MATCH.
A One Sided Gaame-HOmOIuIu IL. Ha-
wall 4.

The first baseball match of the season
between two Of the old clubs took place
at Makiki on Saturday, when the Homo
lulu and the Hawaii Clubs contested the
honors. There was not so large an
audience as usual, but still a goodly
crowd watched the play from first to
last. Parker, who had pitched for the
HonOlulus for seven years, having fallen
out with them, was taken by the Ha-
waits in exchange for Meek. This was
a great gain for the Honolulu, but the
contrary for the Hawaii club. Parker
was good pitcher in his time, but his
former comrades have become thoro gh-
ly up to his play, as they showed on
Saturday by batting him with genel al
facility. On the other hand, Meek eff
fectually baff1ed his own club associates
with remarkably clever pitching, as we'll
as throwing them out at first base with
unerring precision and watching all the
bases with the vigilance of a veteran.
The Honolulus, moreover, evinced the
in all respects, which was to
have been expected from their frequent
practice and match games during the
two seasons in which their opponents
has been dormant. In conse-
quence of these conditions, as the score
below testlfies, the game was a losing
one for the Hawais throughout:

Mr.. IEartweIl's views.

Mr.. EDITOR believing = enclosed
communication contains matter of such
Importance to the public as to be worthy
of publication, 1 would ask space for it
in your paper.
A prominent citizen of Maui remarked
to me recently that Mr.. Hartwell was
not himself unless he was conservative.
He evinces an earnest desire for good
government, and a careful recognition of
the rights of all. No citizen who enjoys
the benefits of an enlightened, liberal
government ought to be satisfied without
giving something in return, yielding a
cheerful and hearty support.
The administration OF the government
at this time, | believe, compels respect
and confidence However wide we may
differ on questions of public policy, yet
we are bound to believe that the present
conduct of affairs is a vast improvement
on the old. We must not drift back to
the old thing, which made every honest
and intelligent man blush.
Don't let us forget what we were less
than a year ago, or to appreciate the
new order of things. Each and every
citizen should be mindful of the duty of
holding up the hands of our fai hful
public servants. | think that radical
changes in our government should not
be made for the present, except with the
utmost care and deliberation. Too much
legislation will not add to the public
confidence.

The foregoing brief confession of faith
will suggest to every one OF any intelli
gence in just what sense we profess and
strive to be independent. Our independ-
ence is as to men, organized parties par
ticular Cabinets. Independence as to
ideas, measures, principles, the indie
pendence of venality or indifference,-is
something to which we neither pretend
nor aspire. On the contrary, the Ga
zette and ADVERTISER is heart and
soul with the Reform movement, and
pledges itself to every measure which
will in it's opinion tend to carry out the
spirit or contribute to the success of that
movement.

CORRESPONDENCE.

We do not hold ourselves responsible for the
statements made, opinions expressed by our
correspondents.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1888-05-28

Perhaps the present is not an inOppOr-
tune occasion to indicate the general
lines upon which the Gazette and
ADVERTISER will proceed. We shall adj
vocate l. The economical administration
of public affairs. This is not intended
as glittering generality, for we proceed
at once to the corollary, viz; the neces-
sity of abolishing the island governor
ships, as we'll as every other useless
means of dissipating the public funds.
2. The conduct of the civil service on
strictly business principles. There
should be no removals except for cause.
No party or partizan consideration should
be allowed the least weight in appoint
nents or removals. 3. The conserva-
ton of the political privileges already
secured, with a view to their future ex-
tension.
The Gazette and ADVERTISER pledges
itself to support these views to the
best of its ability, and it will support no
one who does not in its opinion represent
them. There are, of course, other topics
on which we shall formulate policy as
occasion arises. We have purposely
confined ourselves here to the statement
of political creed broad enough to
unite all the genuine lovers of reform. It
is of infinite Importance just now that
the Reform Party should be reminded
of what unites it and makes it essenti-
ally one, be ore individuals begin to tall
out over matters of detail.

A large and enthusiastic meeting of the

evening at st. Georges Hall. President
j. w. Bradbury called the meeting to order,
with DIR. j. l. Adams as secretary. Four
new members were elected, Messrs. Beall,
Duffy, Seibold, Carrinatop, and Seltz, the
committee to go before the committee on
war claims OF the House to urge the pas
sage Of the 800 bounty bill, then made q
report OF the reception they had met With
and predicted favorable action, but re-.
gretted that they had not been armed with
petitions, etatistics, &c, to assist them In
their argument. Capt. Duffy then stated
reliable information that their bill
had been favorably reported from
the House committee that day. lie
also moved that committee of nine be
appointed to draft memorial to Congress
and to secure the signature of every living
soldier Of the District volunteers OF 1861
to 10. The motion was carried, and Messrs.
" II. Birch, Walter Dobson, X. j. Beall,
VIM. l.. ppbant, Louis P. Seiboid, James
and Joseph +. HoIgson were appointed
as said committee.
The committee before Congress was also
authorized to secure copies OF the muster
out roll Of said volunteers from the Secre-
tary Of War to use in their work.
Mr., r. j. Beall then made an address to
the representatives of the city press present
requesting their co cooperation 10 the matter,
and stating that they wished 1t distinctly
understood that no claim agents were inter
ested In the bill, and the money was to go
only to the actual soldiers or their legal
heirs. VIM. E. Dubant then produced the
muster roll for the new G. A. X. post to he
organized and twenty-five names were en-
rolled. This makes an enrolment Of sixty.
five for the post.

1t had saved the life Of its master and mis-
tress in India by announcing by shrill
screams the presence OF burglars In their
bungalow, was at death cmbalmed and
buried In casket costing $500.
But the following Incident we believe to
be still more remarkable example OF the
wonderful intelligence or appropriateness
Of remarks OF this peculiar bird. A Mrs.
Sternbolt, of East Thirty fourth street, be-
Ing upon the eve OF revisitlag friends IN
Europe to complete her cure after pro-
longed attack of nervous exhaustion from
which she had practically recovered, thanks
to q well-kDown and popular remedy, gave
her parrot for safe keeping, not wishing to
take her with her across the ocean, to a
dear friend, Mrs. Eisner, of West Fifteenth
street.
She, greatly pleased with the bird, who
talked and sahg fueptly, made great pet
OF her. Some four months after this lady
had assumed the charge OF the bird, who had
become much attached to her, she was sud.
denly tskep.with serious attack OF sciatica
or lit ura,gia Of toe scialic Derve, to which
she lad been subject nearly every f'll for
some years, and Which, after the first few
weeks OF pain and agony, generally left
her lame, crippled, and sin pain at every
step for the winter months.
Physicians were, as usual, called 10, and
everything, including electricity, fomenta-
tions, Injections Of morphine, potash, coll
chicum, &C., was tried, but without avail.
Ore day while suffering especial agony
Mrs. Eisner screamed out In her agony,
''My God, my God, what shall do" Sud
denly the parrot, who had scarcely spoken
aword since her friends illness, cried out I:
"Scotch Oats Essence will cure you !" Be.
lievIng 1t to be lucky omen and
remembering that this was the rem
edy that had cured her friends nervous
exhaustion, she sent at once for bottle,
btgan its use, and In two days, to the as.
tonishment of her doctor, was walking
about the room, and In ten, out doors.
The doctor now swears that Scotch Oats
Essence is the greatest nervine aud brain
tonic he ever saw, and says. Polly ought to
have diploma.

Over the Completion OF the New Free
Bridge.

Bridge.
While the citizens Of Georgetown have
not as yet fixed definitely upon the date OF
their proposed rejoicing at the opening Of
the new free bridge, 1t will without doubt
be held at an early day. On Monday after
noon the committee on decorations met in
the store of the Messrs. Wsgner, aud came
to the conclusion that each Of the bridge
approaches should be arched with stredmers
and banners, aud arches should also be
erected at the fountain aud at the corners
OF Washington, Congress, and High streets
on Bridge street. The bridge will be
elaborately festooned with flags and blnt-
ing, and the citizens generally will be re-
Qutsted to decorate their residences ant
places of business This committee will
require at least $3.50 to carry out their pro-
giBmme.
Mr.. L. Maurice Cropley presided at the
meeting OF the committee on trade display
at Cropley's Hall In the evening, aud
plan was submitted by him which provided
for the appointment Of district subcom.
mittees to solicit co operation from Business
men and others THIS plan was adopted
and the subcommittee were appointed by
the chair. Ii was the sense OF the commit.
tee that the me chants aud labor orgtniz4-
tiops OF Washington should be invl'ed TO

extended invitations to all the societies Of

cause among the colored people, was called
to preside, and Mrs. Spofford was intro
duced. She expressed her pleasure at hav-
ing an opportunity to present an argument
to the members OF the society, especially
the ladies, In support OF the woman suffrage
cause, and hoped before the meeting of the
approaching council she would see associa-
tions formed In every colored church In the
city aiding in the work. She declared 1t to
ments and Christian homes to join with
them and work for the success of their
cause and to put down the whisky traffic.
1t looked as II Congress might submit
the question Of prohibition in the Dis
trict to vote OF the people,
and II 1t should, then their help was wanted
to fight the evil. Miss Anthony followed
and gave history Of the suffrage move
ment. She was quite eloquent at times,
and frequently interrupted with applause,
At the close OF her remarks the regular
programme was resumed. Col. Joseph I.

Grafton Of the report OF the committee on
harbors and wharves, which recommended
the building OF fire, police, and Ice boat
Mr.. DE Atlee moved to strike out the
words "fre and police"
Mr.. Robinson could not understand why
the words fire and police should be stricken
out.
MIR. Smith thought It best to have only
an ice boat, and read letters from officials
in Baltimore and Philadelphia which
showed the value Of having an ice boat
only. In answer to questions he said that
the boat required would cost about $4,000,
and the cost Of running it yearly would be
about $4,000. The cost, he Thought, would
be borne by the United States.
Mr.. Lach opposed the project on account
OF the little commerce done here during the
winter. It was alec unjust, as Georgetown
had tugs now that could break up the ice,
ana all that was needed was for Congress
to appropriate about So, 900 for the purpose
of keeping the river clear, and he offered It
as an amendment.
Mr.. Robert Tenney saw great necessity
for an iceboat. Merchants stood In need Of
1t. He did not believe In subsidiziug any
man. He was a free trader and thought
that boat was needed, and 1t would be
the means Of increasing the trade OF the
District.
After some further discussion aud when
vote was called for on the amendment 1t
was found that there was no quorum pres
ent, and the meeting adjourned.
