Like him, she identifies herself with
the Government. She mistook her
personal idiosincracies for the general
will she attempted to override law
and Constitution, set aside the public
order and the civilization which
created it, and restore the barbarous
era of personal rule. The attempt was
a costly one. 1t made out of Queen
Liliuokalani plain Mrs. Dominis.
Is it any wonder that the autocrat
in Washington should sympathize
with the autocrat in Hawaii? These
kindred spirits seem to have known
each other by faith, though not by
sight, across a continent and an ocean.
The cartoons which represent Cleve-
land and Liliuoklani clasped in
paternal embrace are only way of
making plain to the eye what is plain,
bald fact.

TIE CLEVELAND FIAsCO.

There are many indications that
the case of Hawaii has been sharp
thorn In Mr.. Cleveland's side. 1t has
not got any less troublesome as the
weary months have rolled by. Mr..
Cleveland has "shillyshallied" for
seven months. He wanted to get rid
of the Provisional Government, but
he did not dare to restore the ex-queen.
He wanted to discredit the Harrison
Administration, but he wanted, natur-
ally, to do it without discrediting his
own still more. He wanted, possibly,
to accommodate his powerful friends
of the Sugar Trust, but he wanted Of
course to accommodate them for rea-
sons of state, not for private reasons.
Like Micawber, he waited for some
thing to turn up, but nothing did. He
looked to see the Provisional Govern
ment grow weak, but it grew strong
he expected to see it fall, and it rose
instead. Was ever man so vexed,
harassed and thwarted by an unruly
and accommodating fate?
Finally, Mr.. Cleveland concluded
that fate would do nothing for him,
and that he must do something for
himself So he intrigued against
Congress and the people, and pre-
pared his great stroke, his crowning
outrage. He told Congress he had
nothing to communicate to them, and
Congress went home. Then he sent a
Minister to Honolulu, to inform the
Provisional Government that it was
Grover Cleveland's will, and there
fore their duty, that they should step
down and out. And then he leaned
back and contemplated with beatific
satisfaction this simple but mastery
solution of the Hawaiian question.
The Provisional Government, how
ever, did not identify its rights with
Mr.. Cleveland's will. 1t failed to step
down and out. 1t was not bubble
for Mr.. Cleveland to prick. 1t did not
derive Its existence from the breath of
his favor, and it had the presumption
to continue in being after the light of
his cOuntenance was withdrawn. The
outcome did not harmonic with the
roseate anticipations of the great man
and his flatterers, and instead of a
grateful queen, Mr.. Cleveland found
that he had an outraged Congress and
an outraged people on his hands.
Was ever the head of great nation
placed in a more ignominious plight?
Was ever fiasco more complete or
more humiliating?

A NEAT birds eye view of the
California Midwinter Fair has
been received here, which shows
that it will be on a scale consider
ably more elaborate than was first
planned. Subscriptions have pour
ed in very literally to its treasury,
and the various counties of the
State have made generous arrange
ments to exhibit their products.
In addition to this, applications
for space are coming in from every
part of the United States and some
from foreign countries. 1t would
therefore appear that some of the
buildings may be too small to ac-
commodate the exhibits that are be-
ing prepared in every State and ter
ritory. Following SO closely after
Chicago's Worlds Fair, the Cali
fornia effort will suffer somewhat
by comparison as to magnitude,
but there is no reason why itshould
not be quite as artistic as anything
in Jackson Park.

A PAIR OF THEM.

The New York Sun has Hawaiian
poetry pretty constantly on tap, and
we present our readers this morning
with a very sparkling draft. 1t con-
tains, in facetious form, criticism on
the course of Mr.. Cleveland, which is
as scathing as it is deserved. Mr.. Cleve-
land is deeply infected with the fallacy
which identifies his own passing per-
sonality with the American State.
The fallacy in a Republican is
strange.
There is woman in this city who
is also victim of CleveIand's disease.

fFrom Advertianr e.. M.

tFrom advertiser Extra, Dec. %
The intelligence which arrived
by the Alameda this morning il
of a most encouraging character.
The Hawaiian question has prac-
tically passed out Of the Presidents
control, and Mr.. Cleveland has
Congress on his hands. He win
find Congress a heavier load to
carry than Hawaii, and heaven
knows that he has found Hawaii
heavy enough. Both houses of
Congress have passed resolutions
calling for the papers in the Ha-
waiian matter, and there is a clear
intention on the part of Congress
men to sift the conduct of the Pre-
sident to the bottom. No Demo
crat has raised his voice in either
House in favor of the coercion ofthe
Provisional Government of Ha-
waii, and it is pretty safe to
assume that no such voice will
be heard. Congress both democra-
tic and republican is opposed to any
armed interference with the Provi-
sional Government, and the ques-
ton is in the hands of Congress.
This means that no force will be
used by the United States againsty
Hawaii, and this means that the
Queen will never be restored.
The courageous attitude of the
Provisional Government, main
tanned in the face of great diff
culties and great discouragements,
is justified of the event and
is achieving its end. The Con-
stitution of the United States
stands over this government. It's
sanctions will not be violated nor
its authority disregarded, and Ha-
waii is safe.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1893-12-26
THE COURSE OF CONGRESS.

We present our readers this morn
ing with full account of the pro-
ceedings of Congress in regard to the
Hawaiian matter. The gist of the
matter is briefly as follows: AS soon
as the Presidents message had been
read, before the transaction of any
other business, Senator Hoar intro
duced a resolution calling on the
President for the documents, cores
pondence and instructions. The reso-
luton, at first feebly resisted by one
or two Administration Senators, was
finally passed without division. Repre-
sentative Hit, of Illinois, introduced a
similar resolution in the House, which
was also adopted. Senator Hoar intro
duced few days later a second resolu-
tion, calling in question the legality
of Mr.. Blcunts appointment. On this
resolution final action had hot been
taken at the time of the Alameda's
sailing from San Francisco.
The debate on both of the Senate
resolutions was extremely spirited
on the part of the opponents of
the Administration, and correspond
ingly lame on the part of its apollo
gists. The former indicted sweepingly
the whole Cleveland-G Gresham policy;
the latter did not attempt to support
any restoration, and disclaimed the
idea that the Administration contem-
plated, or had at any previous time
contemplated, the use of any force
against the Hawaiian Government.
The attitude of the Senate on this
question, therefore, was made clear
by the debate. 1t is an attitude of un-
compromising hostility to any forcible
Intervention in Hawaiian affairs. The
friends of Blount and the apologists of
Cleveland admit that the Provisional
Government must be let alone.
Let no one imagine that the Senate
in its debate on these resolutions, was
moving in the dark. The full text of
Blounts interminable report was in
the hands of every Senator, and had
been for two weeks before the opening
of Congress. The side of the Admin
istration had been presented and the
debate in the Senate which calls a
halt in Mr.. Cleyeland's usurpations is
the verdict of men who know Mr..
Cleveland's case, or to speak more ac-
curately, who know that he has none.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1893-12-26

COMMENT upon the Hawaiian in
cident will go lame, says a Phila-
delphia paper, until the Admins
tration shall have fully shown its
hand. Apparently we shall have
to wait for the disclosure until the
arrival of the steamer from Homo
lulu. 1t is hard to understand why
the facts upon which the Admins
tration policy is based should not
be published. There is no policy
of ''let alone" possible so long as
the United States shall insist upon
supervisory right to maintain
Hawaiian independence. To thrust
back an odious rule upon the peo-
pie at the point of Yankee bayo-
nets, however, will involve a more
extreme and audacious interposi-
ton than was the protectorate de-
clared by Minister Stevens and re-
pudiated by President Harrison.
The only logical thing to do with
Hawaii is to proclaim a protector
ate and assume all theresponsibility
therefor.

DEATH

The story told elsewhere of the
old Hawaiian patriarch's forcible
argument with his royalist country
men, is a fair illustration of the
sentiments of hundreds, if not
thousands, of the older natives
male and female. The younger
people, who have grown up under
the debauching influences of the
last two sovereigns, have not the
correct views-at least many Of
them-of their parents, who always
had a great aloha for America and
Americans, who have done so much
for them and their country. All
honor TO the brave and loyal old

that they must be prepared for

BADLY BURNED.
Mathew McCann. the Engineer
of the Electric Light Works,
Injured.

Yesterday afternoon, Mathew McCann
and Henry Hapai were working in the
new electric light works, transferring
some gasoline from large containers to
some smaller ones. In some unknown
manner, the fluid ignited, and the flames
caught the clothing of Mccain. His
arm was badly burned, though he will
probably be laid up for few days only.
Hapai had his mustache burnt nearly
of, and his wrist slightly burned. No
alarm was turned in to the Fire Depart
ment.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1893-12-26

The substance of the communi-
cation of Minister Willis to the
Executive Council has been au-
thentioally learned to be as fol-
lows:
The Minister began by observing
that it was scarcely necessary for
him to say that in the course he
was taking President Cleveland
was actuated by the highest feel
ings of honor and justice. Queen
Liliuokalani had been most wrong
fully dealt with, but the blame was
to be imputed much less to the
Provisional Government and its
supporters, than to the then repre-
sentative of the American Govern
ment.
The queen having made her sur
render definitely to the forces of
the Boston under protest, and hav-
ing submitted her cause to the
arbitrament of the Government of
the United States, the Provisional
Government having accepted her
surrender thus made. and having
noted her protest, thereby became
an acknowledged party to the
arbitrament. The President having
made a thorough investigation of
the whole case, now makes known
to you his decision in favor of the
queen. For the grounds of this
decision, l will refer you especially
to the letter of Secretary Gresham.
The queen on her part has agreed
to grant full amnesty for the past /;
also to ratify all obligations which
the Provisional Government have
entered into in accordance with the
Constitution. She undertakes to
govern faithfully in accordance
with the present Constitution.
Since the supporters of the Pro-
visional Government were largely
led into their present position
through the agency and influence
of the representative of the United
States, it has been made my duty
to secure these most favorable en-
gagements from the queen in their
behalf. He is reported to have
closed his communication with
these words:
aAnd now, gentlemen of the Pro-
visioRal Government, it is my duty
most respectfully to ask of you,
whether, setting aside all consider
ations of self-interest in behalf of
honor, justice and duty, you will
not now consent to retire from these
positions which you hold, and sur
render the Government to her to
whom it has been decided rightfully
tn beloncD
The above may be relied upon as
conveying a fairly correct idea of
The paper read by Mr.. Willis. There
is probably nothing of material
Importance omitted.

THE offer made by Chas. Brewer to
the Provisional Government of q cash
credit Of 5000 shows clearly that the
friends of the Government in the
United States know that it is strong
too strong to be overthrown by an
unlawful use of force.
