DAYTON, O., June 4.-The game to-
day was noted for scarcity of hits and
alternate brilliancy in fielding. This
was partly due to the bad quality of
balls used in the game. Wheeling OBJ
jected vigorously TO the balls in play,
but umpire Carruthers could not see
1T that way. Both pitchers were on
their mettle and acquitted themselves
creditably. Owing to the sun shining
directly in the fielders' eyes part of the
game, several runs and hits were made
which would have been easy outs I'M

HAWAITS AMBITION.

The Hawaiian delegates to the Republi-
can National Convention propose to ask
the convention to put a plank in the Re
publican platform recommending that
Hawaii be admitted to statehood. This
programme is doubtless in accordance
with the plans of the men who overturned
the Hawaiian government several years
ago, and finally succeeded in bringing
about the annexation of the islands to
this country. No doubt each has decid-
ed upon the office he will strive to get
in the event of the islands becoming a
state
1t would be more becoming in the men
who control the destinies of che islands
to wait awhile before making further at
tempts 20 carry out their plans II is
doubtful if the American people are par
ticuiarly anxious to have Hawaii repre-
sented in the Senate and House and the
electoral college yet awhile. There are
too many pocket boroughs now What a
ridiculous condition of affairs it would be
TO give few white people and some
thousands of Asiatics in Hawaii as much
power in the United States Senate as the
people of New York or of Georgia have!
Unless we are greatly mistaken, it will
be years before Hawaii is admitted
into the Union. There are territories
that have been knocking at the doors of
Congress for admission as states for a
long time that have far greater right
to the privilege than Hawaii. The ISL
ands have population of about 100000.
At the last census they had less than 80.
900. And the vast majority of the people
are totally unfit to exercise the right of
suffrage.
1t is not surprising, of course, that
Dole & Co. should want the islands erect
ed into state. In that event they would
be bigger men than they are now. 1t
may be that Mr.. Dole thinks that he has
been so successful as a revolutionist that
there would be a chance for him tc
reach the presidency.
The Republican Convention should sill
down hard on the ambitious schemes OF
the little coterie of men who are direct
ing affairs in Hawaii. II is pretty GER
tain that the Democratic Convention will
If there is an effort made TO get the
Democratic party to recommend the adj
mission of Hawaii as a state. There is
no probability, however of Dole & Co
applying 80 the Democratic party to as
sist them in their schemes. They know
they would have no success with that
party
