crossed In an endeavor to patch up the

has been general complaint from all
parts OF the state for literature and
campaign speakers. and so far constd-
erable difficulty has been experienced
In procuring either. AS result of the

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1896-05-13
WORDS, WORDS.

If memory is not at fault it is a
fact that an annexation resolution
for the special session was revised
by experts because the composition
was so excellent that it was feared
the practical Americans might
think there wasa tincture of Brit
ish in it. There is no such fault
with the closer political union ex-
preston lately put forth. The par
agraph following the whereas, is
fearfully and wonderfully construct
ed. This it it:
Be IL resolved by the Senate and the
House of Representatives that the Leg
islature of the Republic of Hawaii con
tinues to be as heretofore, firmly and
steadfastly in favor of annexation to
the United STAGES of America, and IN
advocating such policy they are ex'
pressing not only their own sentiments
but those of an overwhelming majority
of the lawful voters of Hawaii.
This appears to say that the Sen
ate and the House, as companion
bodies, but as organizations separ,
ate and apart from the Government
and the people, desire to be AN
nexed" to the United States. Their
that's an odd reference to, or des
cription of voters at the tail end. II
is hoped the Republic has no un'
lawful voters.

BASE BALL.

Season to Open May a3d with Extra
Promise.
The first game OF base ball of the
Hawaiian Base Ball Association
will open on Saturday, May 20.
The opening game will be played
by the Stars and the Honolulus.
1t is expected that this national
outdoor game will be better pat
ronized than in previous years.
The Association has made an un.
usual effort to obtain good talent
and plenty of it. There will be
four teams in the field this yeal
instead of only three to contest fol
the Spaulding Trophy.
The Star Baseball Club held 6
meeting at the Hawaiian Hote
Monday evening for the purpose o
organizing. c. Conrad was elected
captain. The men will play as fol
lows: Pitcher, Lionel Hart; catcher,
Harry Wilder; first base, Chris
Willis; second base, Chris Conrad
third base, Percy Lishman; short
stop, w. Wilder; right field,
Sam Woods; center field, Tom
Prgce; left field, Oliver Carter.
Subs flutes, George Angus and d.
w. McNichol.
The other clubs have about de-
cided upon their batteries. Bonnie
Lemon will pitch for the Kameha'
meha Alumni, George Woods for
the First Regiment team and James
Lemon for the Honolulus.

RATIONAL.

THE STAR feels flattered. 1t
was a bit frightened. In re Board
of Health legislation. This bureau
had decided that it would make an
ancient Corea of Hawaii for several
months of the year. The pretext
was nervousness Of disease con-
tagion from China and Japan. THE
STAR thought this was too, too
much, and mildly so declared.
Now the health guardians see they
were rushing headlong literally
without rhyme or reason. They
reconsider. The new policy is on
the rational line. 1t takes into
account the importance Of trade and
travel. Instead of cutting off COM
munication with China and Japan,
steps are to be taken to perfect the
sanitary safeguards. This is some.
thing like new Hawaii. This i:
the way they do things in the old,
sure-footed countries. The pro
posal is for w. o. Smith and DR.
c. B. Wood to go to the plague
breeding countries and see tina
Island defenses are provided at that
end. The system here for pro-
lection against contagion is being
advanced almost daily in the direc
ton of the closest approach to alb
solute certainty that is possible.
