The House Committee on Ways and

posed them TO have been touching the tax
on cigarettes. True, at their last meeting
they "did not raise" the rate. but they
had previously Jumped" from so cents
per thousand to $50 per thousand-a very
considerable advance,
The House we suppose, will adopt the

of nonsense Is INDUCED in when the health

nearly all the bad habits that boys have
nowadays are attributed to them; but
there were bad and puny boys before
cigarettes were invented. and there will
be when cigarettes cease TO be used, IL
that time ever comes.
At present pipes are very much in

not the place for sanitary experiments.
At 20 cents a thousand cigarettes were

that the managers OF 1.-THE machine" ap-

n single member from the counties in

We feel sure that the members frcin
"the negro counties are upright men.
we are convinced that If the rottenness
and stencil in elections described by the
Times existed they would know 1t. That

The town Is greatly In earnest about
getting the new courthouse here, bill
for vote on which Is now pending in
the Legislature. The town will subscribe

Hawaii-Mr. Frye.s Resolution.

The resolution touching Hawaiian af-
fairs introduced into the United States
Senate on wednesday last by Mr.. Frye,
OF Maine. reads 10 US as IL 1t had been
worded In the interest of compromise
between the Republicans and the Demo-
Gratis. or between the supporters of the
action OF the last administration and the
supporters OF what had been supposed TO
be the policy OF the present administra-
ton. We quote:
Resolved. That In the opinion OF the
Senate during the investigation OF the
Committee on Foreign Relations into our
relations with Hawaii, there should be
no interference on the part OF the United
States Government by moral influence or
physical force for the restoration OF
Queen Liiiuokalani. nor for the mainte-
nance OF the Provisional Government OF
The Hawaiian Islands. and that our naval
forces should be used on the islands only
for the protection Of the lives and proper
ty OF American citizens"
We are not authorized TO speak for Mr.
Cleveland; but IL we understand his policy
II Is exactly that set forth ia the above
resolution. though there may be conceal
Cd In II some objection not perceived by
US.
The administration should not allow tho
Republicans to force It into q false posi-
ton.
