Concord. On. H. Monitor
Our news columns tell the story of the
Cleveland administration puslllsuimous
sure nder in the Hawaiian matter. BY its
action II has deliberately sacrificed the vas,
American interests in thst island, and has
followed most unwise AMI unpatriotic
course The people of the Island bad de-
thruned Queen Liliuokalani and set
mp a provisional government which was
strongly in favor Of annexation 10 the
uit,d States. or the establishing of pro-
tectorate by this country. It was our OPP
portuuity to obtain most valuable and vital
naval station in the Pacific, and at the same
time to thoroughly protect our CONNER
cisl interests in the Sandwich Islands. The
American capital invested in those Islands
is not less than S25 900 900. or probably
twol birds of their entire property value.
The opportunity was Immediately g,aspei
by the Harrison administration, but the ne
gotiations entered into were pending when
Cleveland took his seat. and he has seen fit
to reverse bis predecessors policy. He and
Secretary Gresham seem to have adopted
this I'M A merican policy for no other reason
than to overturn and discredit President
Harrison's plans. Their course can only be
characterized as monstrous, and it will be
utterly condemned by all patriotic citizens
of all political parties.

President Cleveland had his reason for

New ork NAH and Express.
1t i. incredible that the American people
are about 70 submit to such a humiliation
At the hands of this administration As Sec
| rotary Gresham's report regarding Hawaii
foreshsdo~s.
II swell to bear in mind the facts re-
unriing the Ha ~aiian situation and the
conduct of Democratic administration
toward the patriotic men in Hawaii who
have overthrown corrupt debsuched and
iecayed monarchy and established a pro-
vi.ional government with the purpose of
anne ration to the United States. President
Harrison fully realized the necessity of ac-
cepting the offer freely made to us of the
pearl of the Pacific, upon which the cove
tous eyes of England and Germany have
for MANY years been set, and promptly pre-
pared treaty of annexation.
With the incoming of a Democratic adj
ministrstioR. came ''change another
disastrous change" for the interests of the
American people. First, the Hawaiian
treaty WAS withdrawn withou. explanation
TO the American people The impression
prevailed, and was not removed, that Presi-
dent Cleveland with bis pride of authority
wished to negotiate treaty of his own and
give the Democratic party the benefit of his
patriotic act.
Secondly, the American flag was hauled
down at Honolulu. This humiliating act
startled the nation. No one appeared TO
defend it, Its motive was incomprehensi
BILE. Again no explanation and no apology
were offered, and once more the people
hoped ths, back of this rash and inconsid
crate act there might still be patriotic pur-
pose, though born of partisan zeal.
Now. finally, comes the astounding rec
ommeudstion Of Secretary Gresham, not
only that the treaty of annexation which was
withdrawn from the Senate SIS alleged ''for
further consideration" should not he resub
mit,ed. but also that the monarchy should be
restored Secretary Gresham does not direct

When the news Of the Hawaiian revolu

Democratic papers are very properly
cautious in committing themselves to the
support Of Gresham's infamous proposal to
overturn the present friendly and Christian
government Of Hawaii and re-estahlish a
sensual and semi bsrbaiic colored woman
upon q rotten throne. The indications are
that . large number of the Democratic
members of Congress- will b. prompt to re-
pu iiate this strocious proposition. Already
senator Morgan snd other prominent Dem
ocraiic leaders have been heard from. and
l,aling Democratic papers are al'o coming
forward TO support the cause of Christian
American civilization in the Haw allan
islands. The people are becoming aroused
and it 10 rapi lily becoming evident that the
spirit Of the republic will not tolerate the
carrying out of the infamous programme
announced by Secretary Gresham.

Mr.. Cleveland has not been frank with

or any step he has taken in dealing with the
Hawaiian overtures, He has seemed to ap-
