BLOUNT AGAIN.
Wilson Gives one of Stevens
ALLEGED Insulting Speeches.

A leading objection of the royal
lists to Mr.. Stevens is the allegation
that he used to give the ex-queen
unwelcome advice, insult her,
trample on her feelings, etc. c. B.
Wilson furnishes a long story to
Mr.. Blount, doubtless written for
him by some Of his numerous crea-
lures, which contains one of these
alleged insulting speeches of the
American Minister. Here it is:
MADAM: 1t is my official duty TO
offer to Your Majesty congratulations
on your accession to the throne, In ae-
cordance with the provisions OF the
Constitution of your Kingdom. Turn
ing from the funeral scenes through
which we have just passed, L address
Your Majesty words OF hope as TO the
future of your reign. Standing on the
border-land of death and the future
world, of which we have been SO
solemnly reminded by what has just
| transpired in our midst, and reverent
| towards the Supreme God, to whom
all are accountable, the Minister of
| the United States expresses his earn
est qualification that Your Majesty
has taken the firm resolution to aid In
| making your reign strictly constltu'
tional reign, to maintain the constitu-
tional right of your Ministers to adj
minister the laws, and always to
acknowledge their responsibility to
the Legislature in the performance OF
their sworn obligations. In the wish
| thus to respect the supreme authority
of the Constitution an l the laws, You!
Majesty places yourself in the exalted
| rank of the best sovereigns OF the
world, and thus will avoid those EN-
barrassments and perplexities whict
have so often disturbed the peace and
crippled the prosperity of countries
not blessed with free and enlightened
constitutions. 1t is my earnest prayer
that Your Majesty may be able t.
carry out your noble resolution, anC
thus have full time and opportunity
to discharge the duties which You
Majesty Justly regards necessary t.
the success of your reign and benef1
cial to your whole people. In endea
voring to make good these auspiciou
promises, Your Majesty will have tn
full sympathy and the good wishes.

honor to represent at this capital.

law. Discussion which goes be-
yond the limit thus set, is sedi-
tious, unlawful and revolutionary,
and is SO recognized and so treated
by all civilized governments
throughout the world.
We have stated these elemen-
tary principles of law rot because
any rational man doubts them,
but to dispose Of the pretence that
the Government in sealing up the
seditious mouth of the Holomua
would be interfering with the free
dom of the press. There is a
statute against seditious publica-
tons. It is there to be enforced
not to be made a target for trait
ors. The honor of the Govern
ment, it's interest and its self
respect, all demand that the laws
against sedition be carried out
There is no reason why political
offenders should enjoy an impun'
ity which is denied to the criminal
classes generally. Let there bt
one law for all, and one impartia
execution of it.

There are good friends of Hawaii
in Congress, and they have already
been heard from. A United States
Senator-not Republican-writes
privately to friend in this city as
follows:
The Administration is getting n
tongue-lashing from the press the
country overland they deserve 1T. L
have no words strong enough to ex-
press my contempt for the petty
jealousy or pique of our Secretary and
President. My only hope was that
Blount would be compelled to change
his already-formed opinion on meet
ing with the truly American spirit OF
the islands.
The Secretary Is much worried
especially as he has been counting
public favor-looking to the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination In '96.
Now the bucket is upset. Poor Gre
sham
The same writer, referring to the
correspondence laid before the
Senate, Gays: see no arguments
which the press have not hereto
fore fully met" The Senator goes
on to cay that the matter will be
referred to the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations, with Senator
Morgan at the head-where it will
be quickly disposed of.

its collection of 10000 books are

The Library Committee will order
by every intermediate steamer, that
is, every four weeks, supply OF re-
cent publications, fresh reading

citation has the privilege of asking

of the privileges of the Library. L

large a sum, the fee for three
months use of the Library anc
Reading Room is only ore dollar

LIBERTY VS.. sEDITIoN.

Every government which seeks
to promote the true welfare OF the
people to which it is responsible en-
courages full and free discussion
of public questions in the press.
The Provisional Government is no
exception to this rule, and has at
all times allowed, and even encour-
aged, the greatest latitude in this
regard. There is radical distinc-
ton, however, between a right and
the abuse of it, distinction which
the disloyal press of this city, more
particularly the Holomua, wilfully
confounds.
The liberty of public discussion
is properly confined to the consider
alton of matters which are consist
ent with loyalty to the existing
Government. If it is desired to
change any provision in the statute
or organic law of nation, or to
alter the form of its government, or
radically to modify its social insti-
buttons, the agitation in favor OF
such changes must be temperate
land peaceful, and the mode
be >acedure recommended must
aony with existing

CONDENSED for The Literary Digest from
Paper in Our Day, Boston, November)
The Sandwich Islands are knock
ing at the door of our republic.
What position are we to take con-
corning the proposal that Hawaii
become a State of the American
Union
My first proposition on this vex-
ed matter of the proposed annexa-
ton of Hawaii is, that there are
three great tasks before the Amer
lean republic, to be performed
largely in the Pacific ocean:
/. The opening of a vast and
peaceful commerce with the Orient
and Australasia.
2. The protection of our Pacific
frontier, not only along the line
between Alaska and Califor mia,
but as far south, at least, as the
isthmus.
8. A large task, that, l think,
Providence calls on US to assist
England, and other Powers, in per-
forming in the Pacific ocean, is the
abolition of the slave-trade.
How are Americans to peform
these three great tasks without
some standing-ground in the Pa
cific? Is not Providence possibly
calling us to acquire not merely a
coaling-station In the Pacific, but a
station for the diffusion of real civ
ilization?
NV next proposition is, that we
need the Sandwich Islands for mil
itary influence in case of war with
any of the great powers of the
world, especially England. 1t is
important that Americans should
notice that we are very nearly sur
rounded by a Gordon of British
fortresses. Yonder, at Halifax, the
bronze lips of British cannon touch
the sea, and further south at Bermu
da. You know the power Of Great
Britain in the West Indies, and sh'
likes to maintain all the authority
she can over Central America. She
has Australasia, just out OF sigh
over the watery shoulder OF tn
word, toward the Southern Cross
and Eequimault, on Vancouver Isl
and, is one of the most powerful
naval ports on the globe. Their
are, then, important military rea
sons for the annexation of tn
Sandwich Islands.
But, in the next place, allow nj
to say that the Sandwich Island
lie as far south as the West Indies
The annexation of these island
would add to the complications
our race problems. Who are t
vote there ? Is it safe for US t
annex a new State in the tropics
You cannot make two laws, one fo

the blacks because they cannt

let a State deny the suffrage to tt
blacks, for any reason whateve
then insist that, for the same re-
son, the whites shall be denied II
