BASE BALE NoTES.

No word comes from Waterbury concerning Roger Connor's plans for next season. The Waterbury papers print without comment'the article sug gesung Connor as manager for New London. The sporting writers might go little farther and ask Connor what he thinks of it. Some of the New London enthusiasts who have followed the local team to Waterbury do not speak very highly of the treat ment of Roger Connor by the crowds on his own field, and here and there about the Brass City there has in the past been some lively hammer throw ing at the big ager-captain. Of course all this may mean nothing more than what is usual in other cities, but still New London fans have shown regard for Roger Connor that would seem to indicate welcome to him if he could be prevailed upon to manage the New London team. With all due respect to MT Herndon of New Bedford and in the absence of any statement from him respecting his plans. 1t has got to be recognized that base ball in New London will prove a fiasco, unless the team is managed radically different than heretofore. The men that contributed iberally in the past are outspoken concerning their determination not to part With a cent before the New London man. agement and the team shows conclu- sively that it will make good.-New London Day.

The news was that Dennis Gallagher of the metropolis was ready to make q match with him or with George Both her. and had posted forfeit that he could throw either Of them in twenty minutes. Parker at once sent word to John Dunn to cover the forfeit for him at once, and today he left for the big town to see what he can do to get Gallagher on the mat. "Gallagher is a big man, but he's no good" said Parker. T wouldn't bring him here because he wouldn't please the follow CTS of the game. 1 don't know as I can get him to meet me anyway, even at home in New York. but I'll try.

ORIGIN OF THE BLUNDER.

1t is now understood that the Gear
nomination for Judge was engineered
by. Senator Frye, who was induced by
II. M. Sewall to believe that George
d. Gear would be acceptable in ju-
dicial capacity, to the people of Ha-
wall. Sewall deceived Frye. He did it
because he wanted to get even with
the reputable people here and he could
think of no better way than to give
the vacant judgeship to the most dis
tasteful aspirant.
The feeling among lawyers over the
Gear matter is intense though, from
the probability of being obliged to
practice before him, they do not care
to authorize the publication of their
views. But there can be no mistaking
the temper of the bar, which regards
Gear as no improvement morally or
professionally over his notorious part
ner. George A. Davis.
The President is in sad need of some
counselor who understands Hawaiian
conditions and Will speak truthfully
about them. BY taking advice from
Sewah. through Frye, he has managed
to injure the Republican party here
and lower the tone of the judiciary
1t is known that Senator Cullom bit
terly condemned the Gear nomination
after it had been made. Had the
President consulted him in advance he
would have learned something to his
own advantage and that of the Repub-
iican party

SAFEGUARDS OF SEA TRAVEL.

There are various reports about the
quality of the ill-starred Rio. the most
authoritative of which is that of Mr.
J. b. Roach, manager of the yards in
which the steamer was built. In ex-
cusing the constructors share of blame
Tor the inability of the Rio to resist a
sudden shock, Mr.. Roach says: THE
rapid sinking of the ship was due to
the fact that she was not built as mod
ern ships are, with water tight bulk
heads dividing the vessel UP into COM
paratively small compartments At the
time the Rio was built this practice of
insuring the safety of vessels had not
been developed as it is today"
IL is unfortunate that such vital facts
as these never come out before a catas-
trophe but only after lives have been
lost through mistaken confidence in the
security of ship. Morally speaking.
people have as much right to know
when they engage passage by sea.
whether they are getting an unsea-
worthy ship, as they have when they
go to a livery stable for rig" to
know whether they are getting a balky
or broken-dow horse. Actually they
find out nothing at all. The owners
or agents of a passenger vessel have
business reasons for telling an inquirer
that the ship in question is all he could
desire; and it is point of etiquette in
the master and his mates to brag of
their boat as If it were a very paragon
of marine architecture. Yet the thing
may be a worm-eaten coffin or a float
ing tub.
We think the Government ought to
protect the travelling public against
vessels Of this type. No company has
a moral right to tempt traveller to
risk his life on passenger craft which
is not provided with every appliance
for human security against the perils
of the deep. No steamer ought to be
permitted to go into the passenger
business which Is not bulkheaded and
braced to the last item. To leave such
things to the owners Is to take the risk
that their greed will turn out cheap
ship, and a cheap ship is like a cheap
or cheap life preserver or a
cheap bridge-something which, soon
er or later. Is bound TO fail Of it's pur-
pose. Yet 1t Is unlike those other

GRAND JURY REPORT.

The Grand Jury in it's report express
ed the average practical good sense of
the people of Honolulu and Hawaii in
regard to handling certain actual and
alleged abuses. The tone of the report
shows that it's writer's had not been
touched either by the humbug of po-
litical judge, the hysteria of a yellow
press or by the Misrepresentation of
three excited women. strangers to the
town, who took a hasty chance to tell
the people of Honolulu how they should
run their own affairs.
With most of the recommendations
of the Grand Jury, none of which are
particularly sensational, we cordially
concur. The plant of the Insane Asy
lum should be Structurally improved;
the use of a stone-crusher near by
should be stopped; the pictures of the
political prisoners of 1895 should be
taken out of the Rogues Gallery at
Oahu Jail and people held for trial at the
prison should be segregated from con-
victs. There is room for vital improve
ments In the system of committals to
the Reform School and in the book
keeping of the Police Court All this
makes a creditable array of proposals
and suggestions.
The most satisfactory thing in the
report-which in this respect follows
that of the preceding Grand Jury-is
the flood of understanding and COM
mon sense it let's into a question which
has reused a small but very earnest
and sometimes over-zealous part of the
moral community to exert Itself for a
change. For the first time since the
initial Grand Jury made its report we

vice." and If the truth is vastly less
crimson than conjecture, that is the
fault of people who accepted at face
value the amazing tales told for pofiti-
cal or declamatory, effect. We shall
probably hear but little more about

Use Good Ones or None.

Cheap opera glasses are an abomi-
nation said an eye specialist the other
day There is no doubt about this.
L have made special study OF this
matter. Lots of eyes are nearly ruin
ed by them. l find this particularly
true of young girls who go great
deal to the theater, and who seem to
think they must have opera glasses.
To their way of thinking an opera
glass is as opera glass, and that is all
there s.to 1t. So they buy cheap ones,
and then wonder why their eyes are
giving them so much trouble. and why
they have such headaches. Unless the
very best lenses are used, [ should
advise everybody to taboo opera glass
es. The farther from the stage one is
the better and more perfect the glasses
should be. Exactly the reverse of this
is actually the case, for the people who
sit in the rear seats or in the balcony
are usually the ones who have the
poorest glasses.
