Edward Pollitz Points Out

From Experimentation of

SAN FRANCISCO-Edwa POLITE
the new President of the Hawaiian
Commercial and Sugar Company, to-
gether with the recently elected direct
ors, held special meeting and voted
against increasing the capital stock
from s10,0O0,0UO to 100000.
President PollitZ submitted report.

December 81, 1898. $4,000; total
S644 1862. The assets amount to 1851.

be in debt on January l. 1899, S2S7,-
202.52 The value of the sugar crop
for the season now at hand is placed
at 81 1874, $50. President POLITE there
fore thinks the company in a splendid
financial condition.
The report speaks of the good TO
come from the annexation of Hawaii
and the abolition OF the contract labor
system on the sugar plantations. Con-
tinuing, he says
The probable annexation of the PM
ippine Islands to the United States will
forever remove the danger of the
scarcity of labor in Hawaii. The ma

toned to a climate similar to that If

Dixie and star spangled banner.

Evidences of a sincere desire on the part
of both sections of the country that ware
at war thirty-five years ago to obliterate
the memories of the past and enter upon a
new era of American brotherhood are rap
Idly accommodating. Yesterday Tn. Star
briefly called attention to the fact of the
hearty reception accorded by the citizens of
Baltimore to the members of the 9th Mas
sachusetts Regiment of Volunteers. Now
comes word of an action taken by an or
ganization of northern men-ths Hamilton
Club of Chicago-that tends in the same di-
rection. Ever since the destruction of the
Maine in Havana harbor the bands and or
chestras in all cities have been playing pa
trioti; tunes, to the delight of the people,
who have been aroused to degrees of enthu-
siasm almost unknown to the present gem
GRAFTON. The Hamilton Clubs suggestion is
worthy of consideration and adoption. 1t
proposes to all organizations performing in
public that when, on any occasion, they
may play northern or a southern air, they
shall Immediately follow the same with an
air recognized as similarly significant in the
other section. When Dixie and Star
Spangled Banner are cheered just as lust
lily whether played on one side or the ether
of Mason and Dixon's line. than indeed can
1t be said that the era of complete unity is
at hand.
