Under no circumstances would We cOun-
tenanca attacks upon law-auiding prop
er:y. or do aught but condemn those who
hold up rich men as being evil men be-
cause of their riches. On the contrary.
our whole effort is TO insist upon con-
duct and neither wealth nor property
nor any other class distinction, as being
fine proper standard by which to judge
.he actions OF men. For the honest man
of great wealth we have a hearty regard,
lust as we have a hearty regard for the
honest politician and honest newspaper.
But part of the movement to uphold hon
esty must be movement to frown on
dishonesty We attack only the corrupt
men of wealth who find In the purchased
pe,iticjan the most efficient instrument OF
corruption and in The purcha sed news
paper the most efficient defender of cor

these agents and representatives of the
interests. They derive their chief, power
from the great sinister offenders who

The Frisco company is going
TO make its part of a contract
good-that is, it is going to grade
and make a good graveled road
way from the south leg of the
wye up to the depot. In 1892 the
company agreed to do this, and
entered into a contract to that eff
feet. but administrations since
that time have never pushed the
matter or urged the company to
garry out the terms of the con-
tact. The present administra-
ton, however, believed the COM
pany should carry out the work
as agreed upon, and upon Mon
day. of this week Mayor Jones
and Councilman Smith took the
matter up with the proper depart

be coupled with. The roadway
WILDE built, and as soon as it is
the. council will urge that the
company also build a sidewalk
along through the wye to connect
with the walk which is to be
built out to the south :eg of the

plated, and which will be made
will be wonderful improvement.

Saturday Baseball
Postponed--T riangle
Schedule Arranged

Owing to Il congestion of sports on
Saturday, the Glorious Fourth, plans
have been somewhat disarranged and
the baseball game-Puns VS.. Saints
which was on for Saturday has
been postponed until some date to be
not be here. All. Williams will go
with the seeker team to Hilo; and the
Saints team will be generally shot
to pieces, and II was thought better,
in consideration of this fact, and Of
the fact that the Puns will have two
OF their best fielders, Bruins and Kia,
out of the game also, to hold this
postponed match at some date when
the best that each bunch could put
In the field could be obtained. The
Press-Aala game is also postponed
In this way the best baseball will
be offered the public and the charac-
ter of the game which is being Of
fered will be kept up, as is very much
desired, in view of coming big events.
At the same meeting of managers
at which this postponement was
made, n partial schedule for the
games when Santa Clara, Keio, and
the Fleet are here was arranged.
This schedule is as follows:
July ll-Punahou VS.. Keio; ST.
Louis VS.. Santa Clara.
July 12-Kams VS.. Keio Diamond
Heads VS.. Santa Clara.
July 1S-All-Hawaii VS.. Fleet;

SCu||y To
Sign Pugs

Arriving by The Alameda at San
Francisco, Jack SCully, the local box
ing promoter, Is arranging with the
best boxers of the Atlantic Fleet to
appear in the ring here in bouts
which he will conduct at Independ-
ence Hall during the time the Fleet
is staying in this port. Jack got into
communication with the Fleet at
once, and cables as to his succe3s.
which is hardly to be doubted, are
expected here at any time.
Scully went to the Coast with this
end largely in view. He didn't want
any doubt about what was to be
done when the ships got here. For
this reason, he had most of the best
men among the local talent optioncd
before he left, and will probably have
signed the best men In Uncle Sans
Navy by the time he is ready to re-
turn to Honolulu.
The boxing contests which he re-
Gently held in Independence Hall
were decidedly the best which have
been seen in this city, and now that
Jack has time to arrange classy
card, big things may be expected.
The other bouts We're arranged on a
few days notice; he can now pick
his talent carefully.
Young Nelson. the durable boy,
who fought ten rounds 70 n drn w
with Rafferty,, lightweight champion
or the Navy, and who would have
won with rounds of usual length and
straight rules, will be in the ring
again for Scully, probably to furnish
the big attraction while the Fleet is
here. Cabral and Young Heine. who
put upa good four rounds, will prob
ably be seen in a longer go this time.
Cabral won the decision, but Heine is
confident now, and the go ought to
be a hot one.- Young Sharkey and
Wahilani. who furnished a slap-bang
preliminary during the recent box
ing carnival, and furnished at the
same time royal fun for the crowd,
will appear again. They fought to a
draw last time.
Others of the good ones among the
locals have been promised" to Soul
ly, and things look decidedly good
for the best bouts which have ever
been seen in ring in this city.

Congestion Of Sporting
Events On For :
Saturday

A congestion of sporting events in
the Islands, owing TO the fact that
Saturday is the Glorious Fourth,
keeps people guessing just now. The
Saints had a ball game on with the
Puns. The managers facetiously
talked of deciding the rivalry by n
toss-up, as the teams would undoubt-
eddy be somewhat changed around,
and things made the more uncertain
thereby. The game is now schedul-
ed, on account of the crush.
All. Williams, of the Saints. Is to
go to Nlilo with the socker team.
Lyman, who holds the backstop
position for the Puns, wanted badly
enough to go down to Hilo on the
Fourth. as his home Is on Hawaii,
but he also wanted to stay and play
the deciding game, or what may
prove the deciding game, with his
team. The postponement decided
him.
Figuring out his lineup, Pat Glea-
son said he would probably have Bar
ney behind the bat. Bushnell or
Johnnie Williams in the box, him
self at the initial sack, Markham at
second, Bushnell or Williams at
short, En- Sue on third, Plada in
right garden, Aylett in center. and
En- Gee In left.
1t can be seen that the team would
have been weak.
This is the great week among the
fans. With races at Lahaina ami
Hilo, and socker at Hilo, and the
Jewels going to Maui to play ball,
the start of the TRANSATLANTIC Yacht
Race, and the 45-round Gans-Nelson
go In San Francisco. there are
enough events on the tapis for Sat
urduy to keep the boys" in or out
Of pocket for many moons.
