The only thing that remains for us Il 20
firmly maintain the present position Of Ha-
waiiau affairs under the Provisional Govern
p,ent and Mt once sit down on any attempt 70
/ force restoration Of the monarchy from what
ever source 1t may come.

Coming at time when the Democratic
| party is about to repeal the Federal election
laws on the ground that the United States
Government has no right to supervise electo-
raj machinery at home. the statement that
MIR Cleveland proposes to hold a general pie
| JtScte in foreign land like Hawaii becomes a
tax upon the risibles.
| BY what constitutional right could this sort
OF belloting DO eniorced2 There is no Ameri-
can law to provide for such procedure and
| with tho Federal election issue standing at
| Washington as II docs Il would be impossible
to pass one.
1t must not be forgotten. m meanwhile. that an
order for p'ebiscGe would be an act OF war
upon friendly Government coniesscdly
based by the United states upon the alleged
indlscretion Of It's own Minister. Such pro
cedure would be simply insanity not to be OK
pected OF any enlightened and civilized
power: nor oiany country dealing with the in
terests Of It's own citizens and with men Of
its national blood and heritage. The sup
position involved becomes an amazing den-
ance OF the idea that man is a rational being.
No living being will see the day when Ameri-
can orders will seat and American bayonets
protect. any monarch upon any throne Tho
republic is not in that function Of politics. and
while the letter and the spirit Of the Consttu-
ton are obeyed 1t will not venture into such
Hateful courses. The country OF Washington
and Lincoln is rrouder OF 10 fact tha an that IL is
n radiatlng centre Of influences which are the
bane OF monarchy. That is what Anne ricanism
means the world over. particularly in the
western hemisphere.
Mr.. Davles's idea that a message OF Mr.
Cleveland to Congress could cause the present
Hawaiian Government TO pass away" will be
somewhat dispelled by process OF time. The
Guardian might learn n great deal to his adj
vantage when no arrives By calling on the
Ministry and later on the Annexation Club He
seems to need some Of the information which
they possess.

Those feoble-mindcd folk among us who
fancy that the public sentiment in the United
States can be rallied to tho rescue Of the van
uuished and vanished Hawaiian monarchy
afford curious study in mental pathology
simpleton who tried to milk no goat into n
sieve" In the first place he got no milk. and in
the second place. II he had got any. the sieve
would not have held it However much Of the
milk OF human kindness the American people
may possess. they will never give down for
the benefit OF a monarchial system which has
gone to pieces through its own inherent weak
neas and rottenness.

for themselves. and will be sadder men. though
It Is unlikely that anything will ever mike
them wise. Not having been born or brought
UP In tho United States. they do not at all I'M
ueretand the character or temper OF the peu-
pie they are trying to work upon.
AS to the present intent and purpose OF tho
foreigners OF Hawaii there is no doubt. They
did not go into the anr eAarion movement with
any idea OF ever taking hand from the plough.
1t would be fatal to the CONNER and polltI-
cal interests OF the islands to do so now
inc movement Is backed by Englishmen
Germans. Portuguese. and Americans whose !
Investments and homes are here. The annex |
alton movement does not represent any one |
nationality. although majority OF its support |
ers are probably Americans and their descend
ants Many OF the most influential supporters
aio " po iouhu among tho English and Ger
man merchants and planters. while the Pcrtu- |
guess residents are almost to man In favor
OF the movement.
Outside OF the few politicians who are put
ting themselves forward as leaders OF the Hon
olulu motives. there are probably not more
than score OF reputable citizens advocating
the cause OF ex-royalty.
The natives throughout the islands are al
ready showing increased Indifference to the
restoration OF the monarchy. This is perfectly
natural What the natives want is good times
and pol: not politics and the tinssl Of ROYALTY.
