Comments Mostly From Re-
publican Papers, and Strictly
From Party Standpoint.
New YORK. Dec. 1S.-The World to-
morrow will say: "The presidents
plan, as he calls it. was to secure peace
able RESTORATION of the deposed gneen
with guarantee of general amnesty to
those concerned in the formation Of the
provisional government and recOgni-
tion by the restored monarchy of all
the bona fide acts and oblga-
tions of the provisional government.
The plan failed at the start be-
cause the conditions did not prove
cceptable to the eX-queen. 1t was i'm
possible from the American point of
view as well. "The people of the UDit9d
States will never approve of the active
agency OF their government in setting
up throne and placing a monarch upon
overturned or the monarch deposed.
Carried to its logical end, the presidents
contention would restore this continent
to the Indian, and surrender to the Eng
lish. the SpaniardS and the MeXlcans a
large part of our territory"
WILL DELIGHT MoNARCHIsTs.
The Press will say: "'rhe message of
President Cleveland, coufessing his in
famous share in the Hawaiian conspira-
cy, will be received with delight by
every monarchist throughout the world,
and with shame and indignation by the
American people. 1t is the most dis
tasteful document that has emanated
from an American chief magistrate. 1t
contains deliberate and transparent
falsifications of facts, displays lament
able ignorance of international law, and
as special plea for an ut
terly discredited cause it is I'M
worthy of fourth-rate attor-
ney. The only possible palliation for
such an insult to the intelligence and
patriotism Of the American people is
the desperate situation into which the
president has plunged himself. The
only excuse for the contempt with
which Cleveland has treated the right
of congress and of the nation to be in
formed concerning national affairs is
the evidence contained IN this message
and the accompanying documents
that he saw the truth, when revealed,
would constitute tire mendous indict-
ment of his own administration"
WASN'T IT A LONE HAND?
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1S.-The Cali
(Republican) says Accepting the
facts from Mr.. Blount. the president
makes out plausible case so far as his
own action is concerned. He does not
state why he has undertaken to play
lone hand when congress was in session
and ready to assist, but the as
sumption is fair that he thought
when the special session came to an end
that he could win without help. Amer
leans, without distinction of party. will
feel regret that an American president
should discuss matters growing out of
revolution from the standpoint that
ruler could do no wrong; that If wrong
was attempted or committed it had no
bearing whatever upon the events that
followed"
PRECoNCEIVED OPINION.
PORTLAND, Or, Dec. 1S.-The Ore
gonian says: Mr.. Cleveland had pre-
conceived opinions or notions on Hawa-
iian affairs. He sent his "paramount'
commissioner with instructions to
gather testimony to sustain this pre-
conceived opinion. He was predeter-
mined to restore and to uphold corrupt
and degraded royalty. He found he
could not do this, and his message to
congress is prolonged whine over his
failure. Mr.. Cleveland does not know
the American people. He is not a
Democrat nor Republican. He is a
representative and champion of caste,
class and privilege. The whole people
OF the United States are delighted when
he speaks of "the check which my plans
have encountered in Hawaii"
DIPLOMATIC DEFEAT.
CHICAGO, Dec. 18.-The Times Dem,
says: 1t does not appear that Mr..
Cleveland's voluminous communication
changes the situation whatever. He
has admitted diplomatic defeat. He has
with apparent. unwillingness admitted
his utter Inability to cope with the situ-
alton without being given the authority
