MIR. Cleveland and the Queen.

Thsre IA a Malvollo-llke complacency
blended with q lofty compassion In Mr..
CIFyELASD's announcement TO Congress
that he IA inclined TO treat lenienty the
present rulers OF Hawaii and their support
ers, when they capitulste. because. though
not entitled to extreme sympathy, they
have been led to their present predicament
Of revolt against the Government OF the
Queen by Mr.. STEVENS.
Isn't It awful. this "predicament OF re-
volt" against q Queen Mr.. CLEvELAND's
own predlcament Of trying TO restore .
throne, and being forced TO back down. is
nothing In comparison.
The President suggests that the fact that
these unfortunate men were LED to revolt
against q gracious sovereign. hJ the mach
nations OF an American Minister may en-
title them to claim that, In our effort to
rectify the wrong committed. come regard
should be had for their safety" Butif they
have made any such plea, they must have
carefully concealed 1t from public vision.
Perhaps It may be in the missing de-
spatches. The probability. however. is that
II Mr.. CLEVELAND will refrain from using
the American navy for setting up thrones
where they have been cast down. the Hawaii
ian people will take care Of their own safety.
Indeed, Admiral IRwIN's despatch that the
Hawaiian Government has large force OF
men under arms, indicates that 1t falls to
appreciate Mr.. CLEvKLAND's sollcitude for
It's safety. 1t Is actually ungrateful for his
liberal proposal TO overthrow Government
which has ruled TRANQUILITY In Hawaii nearly
a year, In order to replace II by barbarous
monarchy. Offering amnesty meanwhile Tor
the crime OF having sought admission into
the American Union.
The American people owe little to Mr..
CLEVELAND for his Hawaiian performances,
yet they are indebted to him for some
additional knowledge of Queen LILIUo-
KALANI. 1t appears from his message that
the reason why he has not yet restored
this esteemed contemporary to power. is
because she would not agree to be merciful
to the misguided people who dethroned her ]
In other words. she prizes even more than
her throne. the opportunity to Rlut her
wrath against her enemies.
Conscious OF its strength. the Provisional
Government has hitherto allowed her to re-
main In Hawaii. and has even given her the
guard she asked for her protection. Yet
now 1t appears that the obstacle In Mr..
OI.KvELAND's path. "the check which my
plans have thus encountered" is not the
indignation OF the American people. not the
news that the Queens restoration would be
resisted. but simply that the Queen could
not forego her chance Of wreaklng her ven-
geance upon the Provisional Government
That Ia the kind OF Queen she Is;
and It was for this savage potentate
that Mr.. CLEVELAND has been trying to put
down q Government which. as Admiral
SKERRETr declared. before he was super
seeded, has given Hawaii the best rule It
ever had. This is the outcome OF Mr..
CLEvELAND's misuse Of his authority as
President up to the present time; and 1t
causes him to plume himself on honor.
integrity. and morality"

A Message Of Evasion and Suppression.

The President compelled the Senate to
wait eleven days for the papers In the
Hawaiian matter. which. In pursuance OF
It's rights. 1t called for. One can UNDER
stand the motives for the delay when one
examines the documents submitted. and the
labored attempt to explain them In the 40
oompanying message. In this message Mr..
CLEVELAND has endeavored to throw dust
In the peoples eyes BY svading the real
point at issue. and he has tried to conceal
the real purport and intent OF the original
instructions given to Minister WILLIS. In
spite. however. Of the suppression Of much
evidence that will hereafter be forced to
light. the documents now published. con-
adhered In connection with acknowledged
facts. prove that the President deliberately
plotted TO commit an act OF war without the
consent OF Congress; and that nothing but
thesuperior discretion OF his agent has saved
him from Q violation OF the Constitution.
The greater part OF the message was do
voted TO matter entirely Irrelevant TO the
question raised by the Senate's demand for
tho Hawaiian papers. That demand was
based upon the current belief. justified by
the publication OF Mr.. GREsHAM's recon-
mendations. that the President had exer-
cised. or had planned to exercise. the war
making power without the authority OF
Congress. The proper way to refute such
q belief. had such q refutation been posi-
BILE. would have been to submit all the IN
structions. general or special. given not
only 10 Minister WILLIS. but also to the
representatives OF the Naval Department at
Honolulu. together with all dispatches re-
were thought useful. to point out In II that
these papers not only contemplated no use
OF force against q friendly Government, but
peremptorlly forbade recourse to such an
expedient.
Instead OF conhninG himself to this In
quiry. which would have relieved the public
mind from the misgivlngs excited by the
tenor OF Mr.. GBEsHAM's letter. and by the
fact that Minister WILLIS had been sent to
execute certain unknown orders IN the in
teryal between two sessions OF Congress,
Mr.. CLEVELAND allotted the greater part Of
the space at his disposal to review OF the
incidents which took place last January at
Honolulu. Ills notion appears to have
heen that. II he could prove TO his own sat
isfaction that wrong was done by some
ono elss in january. he would be justi-
fled, by constitutional and international
law. in doing another wrong In November.
IL seems incredible that a man permit

can Chief Magistrate should be guilty of
such stupidity. but IL Is fact that the
greater part OF the message Is expended
upon arguing that. II Minister STEVENS.
last january. was guilty Of encouraging a
revolt against LILIUoKALASI. then Mr..
CLEVELAND is justified in undoing that
wrong, as he calls it. by attempting to over
throw the present Hawaiian Government.
The President does not see that the whole
force Of his argument is nullified by his
admission that the present Hawaiian Gov

Wilson'S Report aud wilson's Tarin

The report written by Professor WILSON
| TO usher into Congress his new protectionist
tariff bill Is the strongest possible argument
against the passage Of that measure. With
an honesty and directnsss Of statement as
sincere as they are surprising, the Professor
proceeds to point out the unconstitutional
| ity OF his own tariff bill.
"The American people," says Professor
| WILSON, after the fullest and most thor
| ough debate ever given by any people to
their fiscal policy. have deliberately and
| rightly decided that the existing tariff Is
| wrong in principle and grievously unjust In
| operation. They have decided. as free men
must always decide. that the po,cer Of tara
| tion has no ldufuI or constitutional epercise
| except for providing repenus for the support Of
| the Government. Every departure from this
principle Is . departure from the fundamen-
| tai principles OF popular institutions. and
Inevitably works out gross inequality In
the citizenship Of q country"
he remainder OF the report is. for the
| most part, q vigorous and elaborate argu-
ment in support OF this proposition: an
| eloquent demonstration OF the fallacy OF
the protectionist principle, and Of the un-
constitutional and fraudulent character OF
any tariff into which protection enters.
1t is an emphatic and straightout reafir-
nation OF the great principle declared in the
Democratic platform Of 1892. and accepted
by the people when they elected the Presi-
dent now in the White House and the Con-
gress now In the Capitol.
So much for words. Now for deeds. Having
reaffirmed emphatically the fundamental
principle OF Democracy that the only con-
90 la ha tar 20
only. that protection Is fraud aud robbery
OF the many for the benefit OF the few. this
astonishing man submits to Congress for
enactment tariff not only protectionist In
every line. but avowedly protectionist!
The bill on which the committee has
| expended much patient and anxious labor"
| says Professor WILSON. "is not offered as
| complete response to the mandate OF the
American people. IL no more processes 10 be
p,iroed of all protection than to be free Of all
| error in Its complex and manifold details"
II the elaborate argument against protec-
tion. which Professor WILSON submits along
with this protective tariff bill bearing his
name. is sound and true. then any importer
who shall be taxed under its provisions for
the purpose OF encouraging or fostering
any American industry. can have the en-
| tire tariff set aside as unconstitutional.
No duty unconstitutionally imposed can
be constitutionally and lawfully collected.
The words Of Professor WILSON in his re-
port are the words OF heroism. OF statesman
| ship. OF honor. good faith. and integrity. OF
Democracy. The deed which goes with 1t
is the deed OF cowardlce. OF shameless In
| difference to pledges given, Of Republi-
! canism. OF robbery. OF false pretences.
Does Professor WILSON expect that the
people of this country are going to Judge
him and his party by words or by deeds
In Heavens name purge the bill Purge

audience was arranged with him and by
means Of an interpreter few moments con-
versatlon was carried on between the two men.
At that time there was more or less discussion
about the visit and there was complaint over
the fact that Mgr. Satolli had been received at
the White House at all,

his interpreter. and then commits the English
to memory. SO wonderful Is his memory and
80 thorough his mastery OF detail, that no one
would suspect from listening to his utterances
that he was not an English scholar. Although
not understanding the words he speaks. he
gives them an infection and pronunciation
that 10 nearly perfect, and proves that the
power OF imitation has been strongly culti-
vated within him. for he copies every emphasis
taught him by the interpreter.
When Satolli first arrived In this city his
quarters were out in the Catholic University.
but he has just tranierred himself to the new
residence purchased for him by tho Catholic
Church at a cost OF $50 900. Within all the large
house there Is not = woman to be seen or

OF birds. and the whole residence seems al

In respect TO the grip. this city has been

ten deaths have been attributed to 1t since it

While the city has been but little affected
by the disease. some other parts OF the
country have suffered greatly from it. The
