HURRAH, HAWAIIS i!
Defeat the Kamehamehas and
Win Their First Game This
Season

4 SCaSOA.
The attendance ut the baseball
grounds on Saturday last was slim.
1t was a big surprise for those pres
ent, however, to see the Hawaiis de-
feat the Hams. in an interesting and
close ten-inning game.
Both teams played good ball from
the start, the Hams. taking the lead,
the Hawaiis twice tieing them. The
Hawaiis played an uphill game frcm
the first, their hits were generally
made after two men had been re-
tired, thus awaiting little, save in the
ninth inning, when the score was Z
TO 2 in favor of the Hams, with the
last half of that inning to be played
by the Hawaiis 1t was then only a
matter of the Hams. putting three
men out and the game was theirs.
This they failed to do, however, and
the Hawaiis with this last oppor-
tunity saved themselves. With two
men out, they so effectively punched
their hits as to send five men across
the rubher-thus tieiHg the Hams.
At this unexpected result the enthu-
siasm was great IN the grand stand,
while the players were more or less
excited, and we're urged on to vic
tory by the audience. The Rams.
failed to score in their half of the
tenth, while the Hawaiis made run
with only one out, thus winning their
first game this season. Score to s.
The play was without special feat
ures, although some good running
flies were captured by both sides.
For the Rams. Capt. Pahau played
a good first in the absence of Ma
huka, while a new face was to be
seen at third in place of Davis, who
was sick. The Hawaiis played with
the same nine as they did the week
previous.
Both batteries were the same as
formerly Palmer Woods is doing
good work for the Hawaiis, his
quiekness in getting the ball to the
first and second bags came in very
useful during the game. Catcher
Baker of the Hams. is catching on
with the public by his graceful man
ipulation of the sphere. His work is
neat and clean.
Lockwood again umpired the
game singly, and his decisions are
giving great satisfaction, not only to
the grand stand, but to the players
too.
Short-stop Chas. Wilder of the
coming champions with the assist
ance Of one of the fair sex, acted as
scorer. The reporters bench not
being large enough, they occupied
=" reserved seats.
Saturdays game was the first ever
played on the new diamond that |
called for more than the regulation
nine innings. 1t being also the first |
game won By the Hawsiis.
The result of this game practically |
gives the Honolulus the Spalding
trophy this season

lulu, The plants as cut may be
stripped by Hawaiian ramie
eompany's machine, on the spot
whore grown.
The following are some Of the
circumstances which tend to make
the ramie enterprise so promising
now that the gum difficulty is con-
quered.
First, the plant itself is easily
grown requiring comparatively Int
tie attention, and that not of a
skilled or highly paid class. Three
or even four cuttings or crops may
be taken off the same plants in u
year, and the fibre is saleable, with
a certain market in Honolulu, after
the first process.

be afraid to buy and handle it, as
it may be worked up by any exist
ing dyelng, spinning or weaving
works without their being sub
jected to any alteration or special
adaptation whatever.
And thirdly practically unlim-
tied market for the finished goods
is assured. From ladies' dress ma
terial TO sail cloth ramie is equally
available. We need scarcely TO say
that we wish Mr.. Winter every sue
cess in opening to the cuItivators
of Hawaii an additional source of
prosperity, one that both large and
small growers can alike share in.
Meanwhile it viii be necessary for
the Hawaiian Legislature and Gov
eminent to look 10 it that the fiber
be admitted free into the United
States in any REIMBURSEMENT of the
reciprocity treaty.

SOLUTION OF The RANIE QUESTION.

The heretofore UnaccompIished
task Of freeing the fibre Of ramie
from its natural gum has been at
last accomplished by Mr.. Charles
Toppan, of Boston, whose process
entirely removes the gum without
IN any way injuring the fibre. At
ter treatment by the degumming
. composition and boiling, the 6bre
is ready for the ordinary processes
Of earding, rowing, spinning, weay-
ing, etc, exactly as wool, cotton or
silk is treated, indeed this substance
may be Manufactured II the same
mills Is are used for other more
familiar fibre.
Thus Mr.. F. Winter, who has
sole control in this kingdom Of
Topp&n's process, is able to exhibit
samples Of plush, made by the
Yonkers Plush Co.; furniture dra-
perry by Barr, Brown & Co. CT Ply
mouth, Mass; ladies' sGiting by
RObt. BLankey Il Co. Of Hyde Park,
Mass; the latter made on ordinary
wooden machinery; cordage, nets,
b-ankedng, etc, all made OF the
machinery or mills constructed for
and hitherto used in the manufac-
ture Of the same styles Of goods
made from the more usual staples,
wool, cotton, silk, etc.
One specimen of blanketing OF
Arctic lining is made OF ramie
front and cotton back. This is by
Peakham Il Co. Of Providence, RI.
Some ingrained carpet by Jno. H.
Pray, Son L Co. Of Boston is de-
serving OF notice, as well as No. 3
duck by the Lawrence Duck Co.
Mems suitings made on wooden
machinery by Bogart Il Harris,
Woonsocket, Mass, is wonderfully
strong and serEieeable.
Mr.. Winter has samples Of ramie
Of various tints and coIors showing
how well the material takes all the
ordinary dyes, indeed the specimen
Of ladies' dress fabric is Of Z rather
intricate plaid pattern, the thread
OF which, though very fine makes
up Z material that cannot be torn
by the hands without great effort.
4 Jet black yarn which is as fine
as fne worsted and d beautiful

Mr.. Winter expects 10 receive
by the Australia : quantity OF
Toppan's degumming compound
which viii enable him TO undertake
al the ramie which may be sent in
to him.
Planters may expect $500 to
5000 pounds Of fibre latter decOrti-

between the Cabinet and Tax
Assessors on the one hand and the
sugar planters on the other in re-
gard TO taxation. The conference
was for the purpose Of obtaining
reduction Of plantation taxes on
account Of the depreciation Of the
value Of sugar. The result Is : re-
duetion Of twenty to thirty, an
average Of about twenty-five per
cent OF the taxes on plantations,
including machinery, crops and all
connected with the plantation.

Every steamer. as well as
sailing vessel, brings us some
thing useful and often orna-
mental; things which you are.
perhaps, in daily need OF. An
agate potato fryer is one of
them. They save trouble, pre-
vent dyspepsia, and give you
potatoes that are palatable and
free from grease. They are so
superior to the old style uten-
sill that you will not be without
one once you have tried it.
You know what it is to have
a miserable light dangling I'M
der your brake, don't YOU'D,
Well, we offer you a lantern
that does not need another one
to show where the lights. We
refer to the "Dietz Carriage
Lamps. A perfect miniature
head light that throws the light
twenty feet ahead of the horse.
We've sold a lot of them. and
people tell US that they are the
best they have ever tried.
Nickel or Japan as you prefer,
The price is the same. SO is
the light.
How do you do about ice
water; make it in a pitcher or
use a cooler? We like a
cooler, Gf you don't use a fl
teri, because it saves trouble,
and the water is iced at all
times. The ice lasts longer.
you know, if kept from the air.
This last lot of Coolers re-
ceived includes some in imita-
ton hard woods, shaped like a
small key. Others are the
regular shape, and decided
ornament to any room. They're
all good in quality and viii
last life time.
We have another novelty
this week,-carne Just in the
nick of time too. It's a little
pocketable dark lantern, in
nickel throws a good light.
and IS as pretty as it is useful
for what it is intended. The
mysterious individual who
Prowls around at night in his4
bare feet makes it necessary
for one to look about the house
before retiring. Dirty foot
prints are not desirable any
where, and this lantern IS Just
the thing to enable one to see
in the dark corners without
being seen. Policemen in
use them altogether.
So do bicyclists. We think
they are handy to have about
the house, if only to use in
going to the stable occasion
ally.
More Ice Chests and Re-
frigerators-best made wheth-
er on scientific principles or
on a bench. Earthenware
lined and nothing about them
to become Ill smelling, not
even the price. There's no
question about it, food lasts
longer and keeps better in
them than in any other refrig-
orator ever brought here.
We're talking about Monroe's

The closing exercises of the Fort

Many visitors were present at the
different rooms, showing the interest

algebra, etc. The papers, mostly IN
corrected copies OF work in English
literature, were on the whole mar
velous pieces OF neatness, and correct
as well as neat, for students as young
as those who wrote them. The order
in which everything IS done that
meets the visitors and inspectors
eyes IN all departments or grades
speaks IN the highest terms of the
effective teaching. First assistant,
Mr. i. Y. Gear, demonstrated to those
present st his examination of classes
IN trigonometry and Latin that the
boys and girls have done thorough
work, and have the happy faculty Of
being able to put their knowledge
gained to practical use.
Neatness and advancement were
to be seen throughout all the rooms,
either N written work on board or
paper, relief maps Of the Islands or
IN oral examinations.
Miss CoUrsen's classes were the
only ones to give only literary exer
cises- The speakers, though dimin

At EAULCTELA.

The closing exercise al the above
named school, Prof. c. H. White,
Principal, was of musical and liter
airy character. As seems to be the
natural case when exercises OF that
kind are held, large number of par
ents and friends visit the schools to
see how well their boys and girls
can do. The closing at this school
was not an exception to the rule,
there was standing room in the
school yard only. The speaking and
singing did credit to the children
and teachers, the visitors leaving
well pleased with the results.
Surely the Board of Education and
the Inspector-General, Mr.. A. I. At
kinson, may feel satisfied with this
years work in the Honolulu Govern
ment Schools. The hard work that
has been done, and the longer term
than last year, combine to make a
vacation desirable.

A farmer, driving a mulish-looking
horse attached to an old-time carry
all,'' came to town. His horse stopped
in font of the corner drugstore and re-
fused to go on. The farmer urged the
animal, and then proceeded to beat him
with a. rope, but without avail. Of
course, hundreds of men came up and
offered advice. A balked horse is per-
haps more fruitful Of suggestion than
anything else can hope to be. One man
told the farmer to twist his tail; and
another one said that bundle of fodder
held before his eyes would have the de-
sired effect After awhile the farmer
turned to quiet man standing on the
edge of the sidewalk and asked:
"What have you got to say?'
'.Nothing:''
isn't there some mistake about
that?"
"None whatever"
Are you sure?"

these items there Is violence done to
that general conviction on which taxa
ton is accepted, that citizens ought to
support the state according to ability:
and it shocks the public conscience to
think of wealth, which avoids taxation.
being guarded by the state, which im-
prisons thieves who may take it and
shoots down rioters who may menance
it. The result of the matter itemlzed
is, that the toilers Of the community
bear the burden of taxation The pro-
portion falling upon each and every one
of them is far beyond his just share.
He is taxed for the spot of land on
which he stands, eats or sleeps, for the
food he eats, for the water he drinks,
for the clothes he wears for the fuel he
burns; and the taxes on his standing up
or lying down, on his eating, drinking
and warming, are greater than on the
necessities of other men; he is taxed
most heavily for the right to live and
the opportunity to work. The present
system of taxation being hard on the
poor who must pay more than their
equitable share, easy on the rich when
they pay what the laws demand, and
easier still for them when they evade
payment of tax, righteousness demands
that the system be amended into
just one if it be possible; or, if that
be impossible, that it be swept away
and we begin anew. The right of the
state to tax any thing, any business.
any privilege, being conceded does not
mean that the state has the right to be
unjust in doing this We are studying
ethics-what is right and what is wrong
and those who raise moral objection
to the single tax are surely unwilling
that the state shall do wrong.
Single tax men propose that the state
shall exercise its right of taxation on n
value which no one man can make or
give, but which men together give. a
value which the state or society gives
] to that which God made for the use of
this society, and that every one shall be
taxed on this value according to his use
or possession of it. AS soon us any one
sees what this means, what it is he
perceives in it self-acting law which
would bear righteously, with equal and
exact justice on every one, coming as
near to absolute justice as we can in
