PROVING TOO MUCH ABOUT HAWAII.

FhONlN1 W WOJH AbOUI HAWAII.
Certainly the widest yawp that has
burst from the intensely American press
is this, from the New York Press, which
says:
Where life is unsafe and armed insur.
rection likely to burst forth at any
moment, commerce is naturally at
standstill. Business in Hawaii Is para
lyzed The progress of the islands has
been checked Financial affairs are
steadily going from bad TO worse. The
men Of American descent who were
forced TO take up arms against the rob
berry aud despotism of the advisers Of
the depraved Queen not only see the
lives of their wives and children in
danger, but they are forced TO witness
the gradual ruin of the business inter
ests which their sagacity and enterprise
have built mp and on which the pros
perity at Hawaii depends All this is
the direct result Of the lowering Of the
American dag. In refusing to grant the
earnest prayer Of the substantial and
progressive Hawaiian element for the
protection which the interest and honor
Of the American Republic bound the
American Government 70 extend. Mr.
Cleveland has betrayed the trust com
mitted to him, as the official head Of the
United States.
That proves too much If life is un-
safe, trade is parslyzed, the Islands have
become great briar patch Of neglected
opportunity, and the people have gone to
the dogs or to the bow-wows of an.
archy then, we had better keep away.
We have quite lot of undesirable peo
pie in the country already; there is no
need for more, surely no benefit in ssiz
ing more.
Suppose they were fighting like cats
aud dogs among themselves, what would
that matter to us. so long as our prop
erty and our citizens were safer Tn,
reasons alleged for seizing that territor,
and setting up our form Of government
are the very reasons why we cannot d,

eigu and independent states, admins
tered by citizens capable Of self govern
ment. There are no constitutional pro
visions for taking charge Of a defunc
monarchy and setting up protectorat
over savage people not capable of self
government.
Hence in demonstrating that Presiden
Cleveland betrayed some imsginar,
trust, this Intense American editor ha
proved that Hawaii is precisely tn
country we do not wish to be bothere,

THE religion Of the EVENING JOURNAL
is catholic, universal lit embraces, up
holds and advocates all religions. We
maintain that any religion is better
than no religion. Hence we do not
allow any attack in our paper upon any
religion that is dear, sacred In fact, TO
any body of people in Wilmington. We
are not getting money in that way We
had an offer of double price or any price
for advertising an entertainment which
comes here TO attack the things con
sldered sacred and holy by large body of
respectable people in Wilmington. Those
people may be mistaken; If So they are
honestly, sincerely. grandly mistaken
Their love and devotion for their religion
and the comfort and solace they obtain
from It are sufficient tomake IL above price,
sacred. dearer to them than life itself.
We declined TO publish the advertise
ment Of the man who proposed to dispel
that faith. We shall always decline TO
publish any scandalous news or mention
Of any followers Of the meek aud lowly
Jesus who said, Come unto Ne" to little
children; and to all Of us, "In my
Fathers house are many mansions; IL it

universal. It comes by Christ, aud no
church has any particular right to claim
