| The official litter Of Secretary Gresham
IN favor Of the use Of the guns of the Unite.
| States TO restore and prop up the fallen and
incompetent monarchy IN Hawai-, in the
| person Of the fat ex-Queen Liiuokalani, is
| evidently approved by President Cleveland,
or it would not be thus given out. 1t ill
prove a vsry unpopular course for the al
miaistrstion. The Amer iesn people are
| plainly ia favor Of the acquisition Of some
| 'ofm Of control of the Hawaiian islands by
the Uuited States. The geographical posi-
ton Of III. islands makes il impersively
necessary that no foreign nation should
| b. permitted tn get foo'holt there, aud
| plainly point out the dnty Of the country To
| protect these outlying summer ISLES in front
OF our Pacific coast that seem 20 necessary
| for US is case of war with any foreign
| poser. The importance Of the islands in a
| commercial sense was emphasized by Presi-
| lent Cleveland in his last annual messsge
to Congress before retiring from the presi-
dency al the end Of his first term. In his
| fFSstkFf hntti NV ~ 1000
| cleveland, In fsvoring submarine cable to
the islands pointed out that the geogra phi
cal position Of the Hawaiian group IN rela-
lion to our Pacific states creates a natural
lnterdeps ndsncy and mu'uslity of interest,
which make close communities

al extensions of the treaty Of June 3, 1875,
| with IIawa under which relations Of such
special and beneficent intercourse have been
created in the vast field of Oriental com
| merce now unfolded from our Pacific hor-
| Her. No feature presents stronger recon
mendstons for Congressional action than
the establishment of communication by sub
mar ne telegraph v it'll Honolulu. The geo
| graphical position of the Hawaiian group
| N relation to oar l'ie'fc states creates a
natural int-rdependeucy and mutually of
| interest, which our present treaties were in-
1, nded to foster, and which make Il 81
communcat. on a logical and commercial

b en- polite in such a state paper To say
nothing Of our naval int'r'sts IN conoec-
