Editor Dana Of the New York Sun
is not satisfied with the manner in
which the present administration
has dealt with the Hawaiian problem.
At least, as much would be inferred
from the tone assumed by Mr.. Dana
in long editorial on the subject in
q recent issue of that paper. He
headed it "The Policy Of Infamy," !"
and pays his respects to the promoter
Of that policy, in part, in the follow
ing language:
"The announcement of the Cleve-
land policy respecting Hawaii has
come. 1t is not an American policy.
1t is not the policy of the United
States Government or the policy of
this republic. 1t is not yet, thank
God, the policy of the Democratic
party. 1t is neither more nor less
than the personal determination Of
the executive officer charged with
temporary power, to use that power
to enforce personal conclusions, and
to commit this country to his person
al conclusions, regardless of the con-
sequences.

specious pretext surrounding the es-

subservient Secretary of State? tt
crush the life out of a young republic
already recognized by us as an indie
pendent and responsible government
to employ the armed power as vel

"That is the Cleveland policy
The American policy was settled lonI
