IS regard to the letting of the eres

IS regard to the letting of the great register contract last January, we may be permitted to again stop long enough to show how the law was trausgressed by the board of supervisors. On cleo tion years it is customary and com- pulsory to advertise separately for all election printing. The board Adver- sissd for proposals for certain job printing required by the county as usual, and when the bids were opened it was found that Mr. Pugh had put in . five word bid for printing the great register. Notwithstanding the ia ct that the board must first advertise for this particular work stating the number of copies required, the kind of paper upon which it is te be printed and the kind of type to be used to thus guide the bidder and hold hun 10 his con- tract, yet the board exhibited bronco disposition which was since displayed In several instances on other county matters coming before their attention, and without giving even a chance to other publishers to put In . bid, they awarded the contract to our con- temporary. We do not wish to he looked upon by the public ss object ing to these proceedings from a merci- nary motive, We have no fault to find with our contemporary for taking tho contract, but the PRosPKcroR does object to such out and out evasion of the law on the par. of the representatives of the people whose interests they are sworn to protect. The lesson should not bs lost on the incoming sdminis- tgaiop.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Chief Justice
Fuller has delivered the opinion of the
supreme court in the case of the United
States VS.. j. H. S. Wiborg, captain of
the steamer Horsa, and others. The
case is the one which was recently ad-
vanced by the court at the instance of
the attorney general for the purpose of
securing decision of the court as to
the construction of our neutrality laws
and their effect in preventing filibuster-
ing expeditions against friendly pow
ers. Wiborg was the captain of the
Horsa, and with his associates, is &C.
cused of attempting to land arms sur
reptitiously in Cuba. They were found
guilty under the neutrality laws in the
United States court at Philadelphia.
The opinion holds that the decision of
the Pennsylvania court was correct on
the point that the expedition was vio-
lation of the neutrality laws. The
Judgment of this court was affirmed as
to Wiborg, but reversed as to the mates,
Johansen and Petersen, on the ground
that they were ignorant of the purpose
of the expedition. Justice Harlan con.

unanimous one. This sustains the
validity of the appropriations to carry
Mckinley and Wilson tariff acts.
Comptroller Bowler has taken prompt
measures to comply with the decision.
In letter to the auditor for the treas.
ury department he states that the
claims of TIL, Realty Company of New
Orleans and the Oxnard Beet Sugar
company, under the act of March 2,
1896, are now approved for payment and
recommends that the Oxnard claim be
withdrawn from the court of claims.
Mr.. Bowler recognizes that the decision
in these test cases applies to all properly
authenticated claims under the act of
March 2, 1885, and will proceed at once
to pass them for payment. The amount
which will be required to pay the cane
and beet sugar claims will be about
$685., 900, which, if all are paid before
July |, will increase the deficiency for
the fiscal year to about 30,000,000.
