close OF the special session and the begin
ming OF the regular session only about a
month elapsed. There is no pretence that,
within that month. there arose sud-
den and tremendous exigency which inn
PEELED, though It could not warrant, the
President to assume a power expressly
withheld from him by the Constitution. On
the contrary. there was throughout the

to Congress. II, therefore, he has violated
them, he must have done 30 through gross
ignorance. or through arrogant, wanton
disregard Of the Federal organic law. In
either case, Mr.. CLEVELAND has broken his
oath to observe the Constitution, and has
shown himself unfit for the office Of Chief
Magistrate.
From this conclusion, there will be no
escape. provided the Hawaiian papers shall
disclose that Minister WILLIS was In
structed to upset the Hawaiian Govern
ment by force. or by the threat OF force.
This is clear. not only to trained lawyers,
but to the plain people OF the United States'
who have turned to their copies OF the Con-
stitution and have noted with what anxious
care the far-slghted trainers OF that instru-
ment withheld from the Executive the dam

Brewers and Distillers-A Fight.

That circumstances alter cases is a famil-
lar proposition. and 1t receives new illus
tration In tho case Of those associations OF
organized liquor dealers in this town which
have met in session since election day.
Prior to that time. the liquor question in
its political aspect. seemed to be disposed
Of. The Republicans, many OF them from
interior counties. extremists in their hostil-
ity to the beverage-dispensing trade. we're
without voice or influence In legislation.
The Prohibitlonists. a sturdy minority in
the rural counties. were ignored by both
parties. The Personal Liberty League. re-
cruited to q considerable extent from the
ranks OF the OTrENDoRFER-STETNwA
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES transcen-
dental reformers. had withdrawn from the
field; and the elimination OF the liquor
question from the controversies OF states
men seemed to be permanent and thorough.
One result OF the recent election has been
to change all this. The excise-law tinkers
are again on foot. The advocates OF larger
liberty and longer hours for sales have
taken new courage. The German-Ameri-
can Union. ever faithful to GAMBRINUs and
fuller measure. Is reorganizng. and the cold
water Prohibitionists are by no means idle.
The natural and apparently unavoidable
friction between the brewers and the dis
tillers, Joint rivals for the vast retail trade.
is once more active. and political organiza-
tions are drawn into the controversy. In
the Ninth Assembly district. where the dis
tillery interests are considerable. and the
lager-beer interests OF relatively small i'm
portance, q resolution was introduced in
- IL
evening, calling for detailed statement
Of the sum contributed by saloon keepers.
and Of the uses to which 1t was put by the
representative OF the Democratic organiza-
tion accepting 1t. "A bill OF particulars"
as lawyers would describe IL. was demanded.
This unruly and insidious motion. con-
trary to all precedents, was. OF course. re-
sisted. but. contrary to the expectation OF
its opponents. 1t was carried through
successfully. There are 305 licensed
saloons In the Ninth district. and only
fourteen are beer and wine shops.
selling. and authorized to sell. nothing
stronger. The divergence between the dis
tillery and the brewing interests to which
we have already referred came up here.
The distillery interests came Off victorious.
In other sections OF the town. where the
brewing interests are better organ
lied and their political connections are
In better and stronger hands than in
the Ninth. the result will be different.
But there can be no doubt that an always
interesting and sometimes important phase
OF the liquor question Is again up for set
tlement; and many municipal statesmen.
we dare say Republicans as well as Demo-
Gratis. would receive with composure the
evidence that such was not the case. The
halls OF the Capitol. during the session of
the next Legislature. to meet In January.
will be the battle ground Of the disputants.
