MAUI INDIGNANT.
A Protest and Petition Against
W. j. Sheldon's appoint
rreuf.

Nh. EpIroR: Considerable in
dignation is expressed here over
the late appointment Of W. ],
Sheldon to the office of port sur
veyor at Kahului, and it is freely
commented upon, that said party,
who was a few yesrs ago dis
missed from the same office for
want of con6dence in him, has not
since by any of his acts regained
confidence if he has, we are not
aware of it.
Are we 10 believe that there is
no one in this community, who
could capably and satisfactorily
I'll the Office Of port surveyor, or
must vacancies be made on the
other islands simply to make room
for hungry Honolulu spoils seek
ers? Let US have voice in public
affairs and when vacancies occur
in local government offices, let
Maui men be selected to fill them.
Mr.. Sheldon may be good an
nexationist, but so have the ma
jority of respected Maui men de-
clared themselves in favor Of an
nexation, who feel, even if they are
not crying for Spoils, that their
body has been altogether ignored
and that an injustice has been
done them by the appointment of
& Honolulu man to one of their
local offices.
A petition IS being circulated
here asking for the speedy removal
from Office Of this gentleman, and
it is to be hoped that this mis-
step may be repaired and our
prayer granted.
If Mr.. Sheldon must be recon-
pensed for valuable services rem
dered, make room for him in Homo
lulu; we neither asked for his ap-
pointment, nor DO we want him
here. G. II.

SATURDAYS BAIL GAME.
The CreseeHts Were Nor In IT
With the Hawaiis.

The second game between the
Hawaiis and Cresoents took place
last Saturday afternoon and was
won by the former, the score being
Hswsiis 9, Crescents 4. The at
tendance was quite fair. In the
first inning, the Hawaiis scored 8
runs, while the Cresents made 4.
The audience began to feel that
they were going to witness a rather
poor game, with such bad start.
But thence for five innings in sue
cession neither team scored a run.
In the latter half of the seventh in
nings Palmer Woods supplanted
Kase in the box, and his presence
gave hope to the followers of the
Hawaiis. In the eighth innings,
Thompson and Price each made
three-base hits, the Hawaiis scor-
ing five runs.
The following is the official score

More Vandalism.

formed a beautiful arbor in Emma

was cut back clear to the stock and
for a time seemed hardly able to
survive the shock. a few weeks

appear aud the arbor would soon
have been covered again. Yester-

son pulled of many Of the larger
Of these shoots, and the vine has

HAWAIIAN BAND BENEFIT.
A Splendid Programme. with
Plenty of Vacant Seats.

There were many vacant seats at
the concert rendered the Hawaiian
band on Saturday evening last,
probably owing to the fact that
the admission fee was placed at
one dollar, although politics may
have had something to do with it.
As to the concert itself, con-
sidered as q musical affair, it was
delightful, although some would
have liked to have heard the Ha-
waiian band oftener. The first
number included the march swell
GOMEZ arranged by Mr.. Libornio,
and the overture to Flotow's we'll
known opera, Martha" by the
National Hawaiian band. Both
were we'll played, and loudly and
deservedly applauded.
The overture, Enchantment,"
by the string band was much en-
joyed, as was also the waltz, Gas
paronne," played later in the even
ing.
The singing of the Misses Ward,
Parker, Nolte, Cummins and others
was good, notably the duet, "Gentle
be thy slumbers," by the two for
mer, and the duet, "See the pale
moon," by Miss Cummins and Mr..
Charles Booth. The balance of the
programme was made up of Ha-
waiian songs by the band and
quintette club, solos on the man
dolin and banjo by Mr.. Ordway,
and a saxophone solo by Mr.. Libor-
Mo, the. latter being loudly en-
cored.
The concert was under the direc-
ton of Prof. Berger throughout,
with the exception of one number
in which Prof. Libornio led the
band.

tive Woman.
From Mondays Daily.)

From Mondays Dsily.)
Last night at II O'Clock tele-
phone message from the prison
called for the police to attend to a
cutting affray at Kikihala. Cap
tains Schlemmer and Juen and
Lieutenant Kaiana went over at
once.
They learned that a negro, who
works for Allie Cartwright, had a
dispute with a native woman at
Kikihale. During the dispute he
attempted to stab her with a knife,
but only succeeded in cutting her
across the hand and little finger.
The negro then ran away to the
prison.
After an unsuccessful search
of half an hour the officers
returned to the station-house.
Shortly afterwards Captain Schlem-
mer went back on his horse, and,
after another search of twenty
minutes. located his man at
native hut near the sea, where he
was found between some old
canoes, pretending to be asleep.
He was arrested, and search was
made for the knife, but it was not
found. He was landed in a cell
between y and 1 o'clock this

RAMAKUA NOTES.
Coffee Culture Introduction of
Lupine.

COHee CuIIuTe- INTRODUCTION OF
Lupine.
A correspondent sends few
items, and reports the grinding
season as nearly over. The cane
is very dry and hard. High winds
prevail, with light showers, but
more rain is needed.
Some attention is being paid to
coffee, and number of persons are
either preparing ground or plant
ing, and one young lady is among
the number.
Judge Barnard claims having
raised the best coffee on Hawaii,
and his berries are therefore in
much demand for seed. So far
everything looks prosperous for
coffee planting in Hamakua, which
is said to possess as fine coffee land
as any part Of Hawaii.
More attention is being paid to
planting fruit trees. Mr.. A. Lidgate
has the largest orchard Of anyone
in Hamakua, and most of his trees
are foreign fruits, which are doing
well. Mr.. l. has also found a new
plant called Iupine, introduced
from Portugal, which promises to
be an acquisition to the country.
It grows here very luxuriantly.
An anti-annexation meeting was
held in Hamakua, composed chief
ly of women and children, all of
whom signed petition to be sent
to Commissioner Blount. 1t was
presided over by a woman and adj
dressed by a stranger from New
York, named Carter, and by Mr..
Richard. Most of the government
officers in the district are anti
.nnexationists.

NEWS FOR WILCOX.
His Name Dropped From the An
nexation Club Long Ago.

R. w. Wilcox has seen fit to adj
dress a communication to the an
nexation club, dated May 18th,
requesting that his name be
dropped from the roll of member
ship. 1t may be news to that
cratic politician to know that at a
meeting of the club, held about the
18th of April-the exact date can
be ascertained by Mr.. Wilcox at
the rooms of the club-his position
as vice-president of the club was
declared vacant, and that he has
never been notified of any meet
ings or recognized as a member Of
the club since. Anyone less obtuse
than Mr.. Wilcox would have I'M
derstood the situation long since,
and acted accordingly.
