THE Law Is SUPREME

There was no quorum present ~ the

vss 70 have been held las. night 70 take
action upon the matter OF the city print
ing. Aldermen Miller, Carrie. Sweeney
and Dauiton we're in attendance, but Al
dermen Jordan, Cram, Ingram ana

The four aldermen last named are the
members who voted at the previous meet
ing to award the contract for the city
printing TO the Telegraph in spite OF the
fact that IL was neither the lowest nor the
best bid. That the absence of these four
aldermen was due to prearrsnged plan
few will doubt II would seem. therefore.
that the efforts 10 do violence to the city
charter and to set at defiance the interests
OF the people have not been abandoned.
Unfortunately for the ultimate success
OF such scheme, however, the people OF
Seattle are living under government OF
Law and not under q government domi-
mated absol utely by partisan ring or a
partisan newspaper. The people OF this
city can compel the board of aldermen to

IL would seem, therefore, that the men
who are attempting to evade the plain
provisions of the charter could save them
selves great deal OF unnecessary trouble
and their party great deal of unnecessary
odium by taking q little sound legal adj
vice. II they are deluding themselves
with the idea that the taxpayers of the
city will permit them under any circum-
stances to consummate their cleveriy de-
vised scheme they are reckoning without

and the money OF the taxpayers can be
and will be protected.

THE TAX ON CORPORATIONS.

In case the income tax is levied upon
corporations as proposed the corporations
will not feel it, but the individuals who
own stock and the individuals who are
employed by the corporation and do its
work, and the individuals whom the cor
poration charge for services rendered or
products furnished will be the ones to
suffer.
The shareholders in a corporation are
largely represented by the smaller invest
ors who have put in part Of their savings,
the widows and children OF men who left
them something for their support, and the
thousands of workingmen who begin their
accumulation of property by acquiring
some shares in the company by which
they are employed. As these are the most
thrifty and intelligent of the workingmen
as a rule, and have most influence with
others, the whole body of workingmen is
likely TO know what the cause is, If a tax
on corporations is followed by reduction
Of wages.
The corporation Is sure to charge its
taxes to the public and to its employees and
customers. The corporations will be sure
to throw the burden of the tax upon the
people in one way or another.

An Old Resident Of seattle and An Esti-
mable Woman.

Mrs. Jennie f. Hall. widow of the late
Judge Isaac NJ. Hall. died at her home in
South Seattle. near Georgetown postofiice,
at IL AS O'Clock last night, of can
Ger. She was a strong and active woman
until the death of her husband, when she
broke down completely. She had been
confined to her bed for about six months,
having undergone a surgical operation,
which was unsuccessful. During the past
few weeks she had been unconscious much
of the time, and yesterday death was ex-
pected hourly. Mrs. Hall was about 30
years old, and had been resident
of Seattle for a dozen years or
more. For several years she was sue
cessful school teacher, her last charge,
which she resigned more than year ago.
being in the Ballard schools. She was q
well educated and very estimable woman,
and had a great many friends. She
was distant relative of the
late Benjamin 4. Butler. She leaves a
daughter, Zema, who was until recently
q student at the state university. and who
nursed her mother through the long and
hopeless sickness.
Arrangements for the funeral have not

SENATOR HoAR AND PRESIDENT
CLEVELAND.

Senator Hoar ix after President Csese-
land With sharp stick. Senator Hoar -
not only very able and honest man, out
he is a very learned statesman, and, when
be takes the field against President Cieve-
land, the president will need TO have
sound constitutions defense for his Ha-
waiian policy. Senator Hoar takes the
ground that the president had no ousl-
ness when the senate was in session to
authorize another officer 10 exercise para
mount diplomatic Authority In another
country with which the United States was
a. peace, or to authoriZe him TO employ at
his discretion the naval force Of the
United States.
II the allegation Is true that the presi-
dent on the 7th day Of March. when the
senate was in session. commissioned
person 10 go TO Hawaii and said in his
letter Of instructions that he was 10 be
paramount as q representative OF the
United States in the Hawaiian islands.
then the president has committed gross
violation OF the constitution, since 1t was
an attempt to usurp the power OF appoint
ing or commissioning such an officer with
out the consent OF the senate.
The message Of the president was
syasive on this subject, and included the
extraordinary assurance that as soon as
the president had completed the restora-
ton of the queen by the overthrow of
government with which our governments
was in friendly relations, the president
would communicate TO congress the in
structions which he had gwen Minister
Willis. The president is justly charged
by Senator Hoar with assuming the
power to dictate to Hawaii on his indi-
viduai responsibility without consulting
congress, which is the law-making and
war-making authority.
Senator Hoar makes the point that con-
gress was actually in session at the time
when the president undertook TO consti-
tute himself the government for the pur-
pose of undoing a wrong which be had indi-
vidualiy decided on an ex-parte statement
had been inflicted. Senator Hoar will at
tempt to have congress determine whether
the president has exceeded his constitu-
tional authority, and in this attempt he is
likely to succeed.
