Make This Compromise.

HIIo, January 2S.Aweighty mat.
tiers were taken up at meeting Of
the Hilo Bar Association, which was
held last Wednesday afternoon. The
attendance made up in quality what
II lacked in quantity, those present be-
ing Attorneys chrlsmith, who presided,
Secretary Mcbride, W. II. Smith, Rus.
sell and Rolph. These, however, con-
stituted Hee-sixth Of the membership
Of the association, although within a
few days the organization win count
much larger number Of members, il
being still in the growing pains stage.
After deciding to discuss at the
next meeting the matter Of appointing
a committee to consider uniform leg
islation under request from the Uni
form Legislation Commission, Of which
Caflbniith is member, the executive
committee reported that IL had re-
eeived applications for membership
from and had passed favorably on the
following: w. S. Wise, w. II. lieen, w.
n. Beers and AZ. +. Furtado. These
named will be voted on at the next
meeting.
A letter was received from U. s.
District Attorney Jeff McCarn, thank
ing for the invitation which had been
extended him to attend the annual
dinner Of the association, but stating
that he would not be able to come TO
Hilo until some time in February,
when the U. S. District Court would
hold q session there.
Merits Of mo water.
IL was accordingly decided to amend
the bylaws, which provide that the
annual dinner must take place in Jan
nary, 50 as TO allow the executive
committee TO fix a date for the dinner
for the time when the federal court
session takes place in Hilo, which will
allow Judge Dole, McCarn and other
legal luminaries in attendance to be
present and thus make the first annual
dinner an affair Of unexpectedly fine
pretensions.
The Tribune's innocent speculation
as to whether the lawyers would make
their dinner q booze-less one in view
Of McCarn's strenuous views on the
subject, caused an informal discussion
of this detail.
IL was suggested that McCarn might
be grateful at the opportunity to com.
pare the taste OF Hilo water with that
Of Honolulu, and thisyled0 Garlsmith to
wonder whether those who make tho
drinking water a point of Importance
can, after the fashion of wine con
noisseurs, appreciate in different wa.
ters any thing similar to the subtle
shadings of taste such as are repre-
scented in yintages.
Mcbride said, faeetiously, that he
would object TO pay the maximum FIVE
dollars provided for the dinner, if il
was to be buttefmilk only affair.
w. H. Smith fastened to assure him
that there are many temperance drinks
other than buttermilk, and that Claud-
ius could run the whole gamut of these,
IL he SO desired, at the1banquet.
Supreme Court Precedent.
z Carlsmith told Of the supreme court
which, dining at the expense of the
state, had been confronted by the
question whether the dinner should
include wine or not, and which had
solved II by deciding to have wines on
rainy days and none when it was fair.
considering Hilo's reputation that
seemed a pretty safe proposition,
though Russell suggested, to make
sure, that the dinner be set for
rainy day, The question was left
open, however, for the present.
Bar and Judiciary.
w, II. Smith presented the following
resolution, which was adopted, on mo-
ton by Russell, seconded by Mcbride:
