Maine Granite Ahead.

The contract for completing the New
York state capital building at Albany has
been awarded to the Hslloweil granite
works, of Hallowell. The bid OF the
Hallowell company was S259 900, and the
award to that company has been APP
proved by Gov. Black, who is a Maine
man, as required by law.
This company has agreed to deposit
$4,000 to bind an agreement to complete
the the work by March /, 1895, except the
carving OF the eastern approach. which is
to be completed two months later.
Thus will Gov. Black have secured the
accomplishment of his purpose to com
plete he building during his term.
The real reason apparently Why the
contract MAS awarded the Hallowell com
psuy Vas is refusal some six weeks ago
to furnish granite for the capitol build ing
to any other contractor. The Hallowell
granite has been almost exclus Ivelv used
on the building, and as it %as declared by
competent authorities to be the best
granite obtainabie, it was deemed best
to complete the building with the
HalloWell granite, and to preserve the
harmony OF the stone. The present con-
tractors were allowed to use other than
Hallowell granite, and piece after piece
has been condemned.
The awarding OF this contract fixes the
aggregate cost OF the building at S23,-
800, 900. or this amount S5i3,l79 was paid
for the three acres of ground used for the
site, and so ,956, s21 for construction
purposes.
The first appropriation to begin the
construction of the building was made
in 1867, when $4,000 was made available
for this purpose, alt though money to pur-
chase the site WAS first appropriated
in 1863

Last Wednesday morning, May %, the
summer cottage Of Mr.. Domanskey, of
the Boston Highland brewery, was burned
to the ground. The loss, which viii be
about sl,oo0, is partially covered by in-
surance.
The cottage was left in the care OF Frank
Rea, who had men at work there, prepar-
ing for Mr.. pomanskey's arrival next Sat
urday morning. 1t is supposed that the
flames were communicated to the build

The Senate has made good progress
in considering the tariff bill by para
graphs, and the rule adopted by the
republicans to have the steering
committee" agree each night upon
the nature of the paragraphs that are
to be voted upon the next day is
working like a charm. The COM
mittee has been sustained in every
vote taken by the solid republican
vote, and in every instance has also
been supported by some populist or
democratic votes. The tendency of
the steering committee" has been
to raise the duties above what
they were in the amended bill re-
ported to the Senate, and it now looks
as though the bill would not differ
Very widely from the Dingley bill as
passed by the House when it becomes
a law.

Not long since we received a postal
card from the Washington Times call
ing attention to copy of that paper
containing an editorial on Senator
Hale's position on the Cuban ques-
ton in which the senator was Sc
verely criticized. We must admit
that in our effortSto make the o.
serrer a good local paper we have
been obliged to neglect the study of
international matters and, conse-
quently, are not in a position to de-
eide whether Senator Hale's position
is right or wrong. We have an idea,
however, that in the past Mr.. Hale
has been found to possess good COM
mon sense and the ability to exercise
it in the time of need. We recall a
day during the Garcelon count out
when certain ardent republicans went
up and down our streets denouncing
MIR. Hale, who under the providence
of God was in our State legislature, as
a traitor to his party because of some
act of his. The next day the wisdom
of this act was seen and they with
drew their charges. 1t is not impos-
sible that Mr.. Hale may be right to-
day; we are willing to wait and see

Ways That Are Dark.

The manner in which justice or
whatever you may call it, is admin
istered ia this Paradise can be seen
from the following item which APP
peared in Mr.. Dole's Official organ
this morning:
Marshal Brown made very quick
trip to Heeia aud back on horseback
Monday. His business was with e.
X. Bull, manager Of Heeia planta-
ton, and Frank Pahia, Deputy
Sheriff OF Koolau.
"The two men got into dispute
over Japanese, whom the latter
had arrested on the three charges of
larceny, violating Sunday law and
resisting a police officer
"Pahia would not allow the man
to be released on bail less than $1,000
and upon this the dispute mention
ed was based.
upon Marshal Browns arrival
the case of the Japanese was nolle
pross'd and the man rearrested."
Now the public would like to
know whether Mr.. Bull runs the
district OF Koolau, or Mr.. Pahia?
The idea Of tho Marshal of the Re-
public rushing to the other side OF
the island because plantation man
ager tries to "bull doze" a police Of
fcer is unique. In the meantime
what became of the offending Jap?

A man in Germany, accused OF
stealing motor power from an electric

on the ground that only movable
material object can be stolen, and
electricity was no such material
object The company appealed
against this judgment, but the
Superior Court confirmed it. 1t
therefore seems that in Germany
anyone clever enough to tap an
electric current for his own use can
do so with impunity.
