County Board Doinrs.


At the adjourned session Of the
county board this week the only
business Of importance transacted
was consideration of the proposed
addition TO the court house. Some
difference of opinion developed.
A number of the members thought
that il would be wiser TO expeud
nothing in additions 90 the old
building, but wait until au entirely
new, modern structure could be
erected, Others favored an addition
to the side instead of the end of the
old building, giving It a much more
pleasing architectural appearance,
at but little additional cost.
1t is true, of course, that so far az
transaction of business Is concerned,
a building IN the form of a huge
shed, or double-deak bowling alley,
may answer the purpose as well as
one Of more tasteful design; just as
"a home Of sufficient capacity and
suitable arrangement, though devoid
Of architectural beauty, may ans
wer the amily purpose, but only
when necessity compels it is that

MORE radical changes in the fash
ion Of gent smen's clothing are
now noticeable than for many
years past. Ridiculous, narrow
brimmed little hats are succeeded
by sensible wide brims; pointed toe
shoes by generous-soled, comfortable
footwear; and in mems clothing
generally there is a marked depart
ure from the tight fitting, sclnt-
skirted coat, and the spinde-leg
pants, to a comfortable, graceful
hanging, longer skirted coat, aud
pants with width Of leg sufficient to
allow free use Of limbs without dan
ger Of bursting. In all styles Of
coats, whether sack o. frock, the
same principle dominates. IN each
the flowing negligee idea prevails.
No attempt seems to be made TO
fit the form except about the shoul-
ders, from which the design is TO
have the coat hang much as drap-
cry, with medium breadth Of shout
der aud very little padding. Skirt
lengths are equally remarkable.
Sack coats extending to near the
knee, and skirts Of cut aways
and double breasted frooks being
SO to AZ inches. Persons not in
formed down to date as to styles are
likely to think on seeing a suit Of
the latest cut, that the wearer's
tailor has made a misft. But not

TIE HAWAIIAN CASE.

The report of the Senate Hawaiian
investigating committee will probabl y
be sent to Congress today and while its
contents are not yet public property
there is little doubt that the report will
not sustain the action of the President
THE NEWS has taken the ground
that a President has no power Of
review over the acts Of a predecessor,
that the revolution was an accomplished
fact and that tho United States forces
were properly landed; that having re-
cognized the Provisional Government it
was an act Of war to attempt TO over.
throw il; that the United States
was morally bound TO support the
present government OF Hawaii that
Hawaii was virtually dependency of
the United States, and as such was en-
utledto United States protection.
THE NEWS believes that the coming
report will vindicate these propositions
and that the odium that the House EN-
deavore1 to cast on ex-Minister
Stevens and the Harrison admins
tration by its cuckoo vote will be
removed 10y the report Of the Senate
committee. The House made no inves-
tigation and gave its Judgment at the die
tation OF the President The Senate has
Investigated aud The NEWS believes its

WIMAN AND THE NEWSPAPERS.

The arrest of Erastus Winlan on the
grave charges that have been made
against him have beer made the subject
Of comment the world over and in review
ing this comment from over 100 different
sources it is surprising to note how
prone people are TO believe all that is
bad that is alleged against man, no
matter how prejudiced the source from
which the accusations spring, and to for
get the good that has hitherto attracted
the public's attention. In Mr.. Wiman's
case this is all the more noticeable from
the prominence of the man, from his
previous high standing in the CONNER
cial, political and social world. What
was commended as enterprise and sa-
gacity before the blight of failure
stamped its mark upon his projects is
now accepted as evidence of mismanage-
ment, ill-advised speculation and. the
scattering of forces, the schemes of
visionary who involved not only his own
but other peoples money in his hair
Drained enterprises.
When the charges of dishonesty and
penal offenses are brought in addition
TO the henious sin of being unsuccessful,
the man lis at once condemned and
columns Of plying moralization are be-
slowed upon him, while other columns of
triumphant 81 told you SOS" find in him
target to be aimed at and destroyed.
Ont of 100 journals of this and other
countries, in but one, single instance was
there an intimation even that the charges
might be leveled against an innocent
man. The law, which presumes every
man innocent until proven guilty, is far
more lenient than the average newspa-
per which believes every man guilty until
proven innocent, and if proven innocent
doubt is then cast upon the righteous
ness of the verdict. Why is it that this is
SO? Why should there be this inexorable
pointing Of the thumbs downward
Mr.. Wiman may be guilty of the
charges alleged against him, and he may
not be. The charges are black and are
apparently strong, but there is perhaps
another side to this shield. and it may
bear a different inscription from that
written by his accusers.
AT all events the man should be given
the benefit Of the doubt and Judgment
suspended until he has been given an
opportunity to defend himself. Fair
play is a jewel, but it is difficult to OBJ
tain it in this trial by newspapers when
only one side has been heard.

MUST GO TO PRISON.

Judge Cullen this morning handed
down his decision on the petition of John
Y. McKane for stay Of proceedings.
denying the petition and refusing
to grant the stay. This is the
beginning of the end. McKane's friends
may find some Judge who will be willing
to do what two other Justices have re-
fused to do, but it is very doubtful and
it begins to look as though the Boss of
Gravesend would have to spend his time
in Sing Sing for the next six years. This
is as it should be, No crime is Of graver
import than crime against the
ballot in government like ours.
Honesty at the ballot box is our only
safeguard and the man who aims to
defeat the will of the people
by ballot box stuffing or
other crimes of kindred nature
should pay the penalty, and further
than that he should never have his citi-
zenship restored to him by pardon, for
he has forfeited the right to be consid.
cred n citizen. McKane can
offer no excuse. Tho facts
are too strongly against him
and il would be an outrage if he should
be able to escape the penalty for his great
crime with the connivance of any Judge
on the New York bench.
