responsibility m the Hawaiian affair
 He says that Blount's instructions
 as well as the instructions to Minis.
 ter Willis were prepared by the
 president himself. 1.-the statements
 published in regard to the secretary
 Of state, are true, it seems as though
 that position Is unnecessary to the
 present administration.
 Chief Justice Baker, issued a writ
 ot prohibition recently, in which.
 Judge Rouse was directed to cease
 all action in the trial of the famous
 walker case till hearing shall
 nave been had before the next ses-
 sion of the supreme court, early in
 January, before which tribunal. the
 case IS pending on sn appeal. This
 Is very extraordinary proceeding.
 oeIng the first writ of the kind ever
 issued in the territory. It is a re-
 markable coincidence too, that
 Judge Rouse should be the judge
 who has to be restrained by order of
 the chief justice of the territory.
 The new tariff bill seems to have
 created a sensation. It is said to be
 the most radical ever proposed, and
 will amply satisfy even the most
 radical tariff reformers. The free
 list IS enormously enlarged. It re-
 pudlates the principle of reciproci-
 ty. There accompanies the bill a
 long statement by the chairman.
 who says it's main features are two fold: First, to absorb whatever it seemed possible of ad valorem, in- stead of specific duties; second, the freeing from duty those great mater lals of industry which are the basis of production. The duty on refined sugar was reduced from one-half to one-fourth cent per pound; raw sugar remains free of tax; the Me Kinley bounty is repealed progress sively one-eighth each year, 80 that the end of the eighth year will close
 t entirely.
 The Phenix Gazette publishes a two or three column article signed by Fred Hughes of Tucson, in which the character of L. c. Hughes IS assailed in a very bitter, malicious and vindictive manner. The Gazette speaking of it editorially says that If the publication of the yenemous Screed does not result in the resignation of Governor Hughes it will result in his dismissal. This mess of rubbish together with a whole lot of other stuff of a similar nature was used by the enemies of L. C. Hughes in an attempt to pre- vent his appointment. Having Jailed of its purpose then it is not l likely that it will produce any | effect now. If the Gazette and the | other enemies of the governor can lot get something later than the 'harges mentioned above to fire at he governor, they had better spike heir guns.
 Recent, as well as remote e1- in school affairs in this ounty, suggest the necessity of nore rigid legislation for the pro ection of the school fund. Vouch- ITS of the county school superinten- lent should be submitted to the 'oard of supervisors each quarter ogether with the warrants issued n them. Warrants, after being ex- should be retained for hree, four or even five years before 'eing destroyed, the present GUS om being to destroy them every uarter or every six months. The estruction of fraudulent warrant lrtually obliterates the evidence of 'rong doing. The county school superintendent should be prohibited rom getting a warrant cashed un- CT any pretext whatever. His con ection with warrant should cease soon as his signature is affixed { 1t and proper entry is made of it. ( of the above nature. em- ( odied in the statutes of the terri )ry would remove some of the op- for crookedness in the Hairs of the office. and by removing he opportunity, the temptation 'r wrong doing is thereby removed. Q -any man has gone to ruin. il trough weakness, rather than T trough an innate desire for wrong ping. He has been honest and up- ! ght, so long as great temptation. ii forded through opportunity for n rong doing, has not been.presented n
 him. But convenient opportun- n 7 presenting itself, the weakness C;
 human nature asserts itself. and C man whose inclination and desire T ay be towards the path of recti- c de and right, yields to the tempta- Sl n and effects his own ruin and M wnfall. It is a we'll known fact. at men, and women, often, too, II id to temptation, when conven- 1t opportunity is presented ru them, and commit the very acts, su 1t they have condemned iR others.
