HAWAlIANlATHLETICS.

Is the climate of Honolulu propitiouS
for athletes and athletic events? This
is question often asked and some
time answered thoughtlessly in the
negative. The splenald showing made
by the young athletes who contested
in the Oahu College-High School field
events on Friday afternoon would seem
a lesson in point.
That athletes can thrive here is a
fact, and the climate should be eondu-
Give of good results. Man is not unlike
the horse in one respect-that the mus
cles should be flexible and capable of
performing their fullest duty This is
impossible where the moment an ath-
lete who strips for the fray is chilled
to the marrow by cold winds; and
warm weather, producing free perspir-
alton, enables man or beast to do their
best.
Young men should be encouraged in
the work, for it is difficult to find a
more perfect specimen of manhood.

Pride is inspired, for it is with shame
that the youth permits himself to be

LEGISLATIVE ENFORCEMENT.

The Legislature. though sensitive to
a fault about its own freedom from FIX
ecutive interference, seems determined
to NEEDLE, on it's own side, with E.Xecu-
tive concerns. First we had a rather
peremptory demand from the Senate COR
the nominations which the Governor is
alone empowered to make: and now the
House undertakes to tell him what to
do in regard to Land Commissioner
Brown, who is at Washington on public
business We can well imagine what
the Senate would say if, after having
received the Executive nominations, 1t
should get message from the Govern
or demanding or even suggesting
prompt action upon them; and what the
House would say if the Executive
should attempt to regulate the move
ments of any one of its own appointees.
There would be instant and noisy re-
sentiment. That the Governor takes
Legislative affronts coolly does not
qualify his right, if he chooses to eXer-
else it, to invite the Senate and House,
in peremptory phrase, to mind their
own business.
! So far as the request of the Senate is
concerned we hope that the Governor
will be very deliberate indeed about
sending in names for alleged conflrma-
/ ton. The eagerness of the Home Rul-
ers to get hold of the names now shows
that they have a game to play which
BODIES no good to Mr.. Dole and his
friends. In this and other matters the
Home Rulers seem to be guided by the
advice of the notorious Humphreys
who has sold himself for the season. oil
until something more can be made by
betrayal of his new friends, to the anti

rule in politics and that is, where any
other course is open, to do nothing the
enemy wants you to do. It is a rul,

THE HAWAIIAN BAND.

The Legislature may well think twice
before it votes to dissolve a band
which dates back to the Kamehamehas
and which, ever since, has been a IA
yorite institution with monarchs and
people alike. For about thirty years
little short of a generation-the band
has played at royal and national func-
lions. has welcomed the coming and
sped the parting guest, has enliyened
the public parks and has given tourists
and our own people unbounded pleas
lure To obliterate it now would be to
remove one more landmark of the past
and to cut off about the only means
of public entertainment which the Ha-
waiian metropolis can regularly count
upon.
We admit that the plea against the
band is a half-plausible one; that is to
to say that the other Islands should
not be compelled to pay any part of the
expense incurred in giving entertain
Iments of which Honolulu is the scene.
! 1t might be reasoned out that Honolulu
! has to bear the lions share of the ex-
lpense and that a big proportion of it's
| taxes goes for the benefit of outlying
Communities But we will pass that and
merely suggest that the Legislature
might save the band without sacrific-
ing it's point, by providing that the or
ganization shall take inter-Island tours.
In this way Hilo would be moved by
concord of sweet sounds; Spreckelsville
and Wailuku and all the rest of the
Uitlander settlements would be able to
sigh under the pleasing of the Lutte or
shout under the inspiration of bugle
and drum; and Honolulu would not be
wholly left to the tender mercies of the
! Salvation Army band
| Don't let the Kappelmeister's must
clans dispense, gentlemen of the Legis-
Ilature Keep the band. Go and hear
! it; ask native Hawaiians what they
think of it; consider it's value as a tour
list attraction and stay the reforming
hand.

PUGILISM WANING.

Elsewhere appears an interview with
an ex-pugilist, now residing in HonoIu-

acknowledged leader in his profession
The views therein expressed are par

familiar with every phase of the fight
ing game.

AnsIeY Sues State Recents.

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug 3.-What is
believed to be the first suit ever insti-

university has been filed in district
court. The plaintiff is Prof. C. F. Ans
ley, at one time an instructor in Eng
lish. He resigned his position to go
with Chancellor Mclean to the Iowa
State university. His resignation was,
according to it's own wording, to take
effect at the end of the school year
1900. 1t was filed in June and accept
ed at once by the board of regents.
Now Mr.. Ansley claims $3.50 salary he
asserts due him because the regents
had no right to accept the resignation
to take effect at once. The action is in
the nature of mandamus to compel
the regents to allow his claim.

Estimates on corn at this time are
unreliable, but basing last years yield
at 210,0G0,000 bushels on an acreage

seems fair to anticipate at least a
good half crop or an average of near
ly twelve and one-half bushels an
acre. Estimates at this time are sub

conservative.
The reduced crop will be materially
changed by the corresponding higher
