liable and important industry. The men
who favored the Mckinley traitf reduced
the lumber duties from s. 10 81 n

American forests could no longer supply
the home demand and the time was
rapidly approaching when lumber duties
would become revenue rather than pro-

The board Of aldermen met last night
for the purpose Of letting the contract for
city printing. but adjourned without
taking Gnai action. Indications. how

nit that we do not see upon what grounds
they can justify their action.
The charter provides that the board OF
aldermen "shaii designate as city official
newspaper that newspaper whose manager
or owners have offered the lowest and best
proposal. and the other city off,
eiai newspaper shalt be whatever other
newspaper having general circulation and
published in the city and giving like bond
and agreeing 10 do the city printing at
rates which in the Judgment OF the board
are substantially equivalent shall be desg-
mated by the board; provided, that prefer
enee ia designating the second newspaper
shall be given to a newspaper of different
political prociivity from the first"
The Fress.7issss put in the lowest and
best bid. OF this there can be no question.
II is, moreover, newspaper of general
circulation and 10 has In every way COM
piled with the charter requirements.
Under the clear intent OF the charter it
should be designated as ''city official news
paper" The selection Of the second paper
would In n measure rest in the discretion
OF the board OF aldermen. The PosT-Is-
TrLIieKscER. being OF the same political
faith as the Press Times. would be barred

a Populist paper and having the next low
est bid. would be the natural selection.
providing in oil candor IL could legally be
called a newspaper OF general circulation,
Of which there seems little doubt. The
Telegraph. being the highest bidder. would
seem to be wholly out of the question.
While the Posr-fsTEIIIeKscER would be
glad to get the public printing at the price

is worth saving.
Under all tho circumstances the Posr-

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.

The resolution passed by the senate
seeks TO determine by production Of all the
papers relating to the Hawaiian affair
which are in possession of the state or
navy department whether an attempt has
been made to usnrp the war-making pow
ers belonging To the Federal legislature.
II with IMMUNITY the executive can COM
init an act of war against the recognized
Hawaiian government, II may hereafter,
with equal license. enb.oil Us in ruinous
warfare with any other foreign country.
The date of Minister Willis instructions
will show whether the president deliber-
ateiy designed to avoid asking congress for
that consent prescribed by the constitu-
ton. If Minister Willis had instructions
dated after the adjournment OF congress,
there may have been an urgency of situa-
ton at Hawaii that justified Mr.. Cleve-
land in citing first and asking the sanction
of congress afterwards. That such an
urgency existed hardly seems possible In
view Of what is already known regarding
the situation.
