lEst was struck Ss much in the interest of the United States us 1t was for Hawaii. Hawaii is the only country the world where tho Goul. inant race the one which is dominant by it's virtue, intelligence, property, industry and its civilization. has submitted to be governed by an uninformed. The course of the Cleveland administration simply means that it is putting itself againsg the forces of civilization II amounts to rank treachery to American in ter esis. It is strange business for an American to be iB, that of bolsterinR up q monarchy that Is too weak to stand on its own legs 1T that came from the czar or Russia we might under. stand it, but coming from an American 1t is past all understanding The course Of Secre. tary Gresham and President Cleveland seems io have been dictated by weak and watery sentimentality and bolstercd up with a trlning legal ;echnicafity-th that IS not even uusound It is the peculiarly of sentiments of that kind that is enlisted in favor of the feeble and vicious and against the strong and deserving
 'As l said before, Gvesham's statenent is just true enough to make the whole all tho big ger lie. He makes 1t appear that the American minister with small knot of Americans, over threw the queen and established this govern ment Nothing could be wider from the mari The seeds of the revolution were laid years back Naval and commercial forces have been drawing Hawaii 10 America for fifty years This was q fact that has been recognized by the 
 of Daniel Webster IL is not in the nature of things that the Ang'o-Suxon race should be permanently controlled by Polyncsian tribe. The only difference between the course of events in Hawaii and elsewhere is that in Hawaii tho transfer of dominion from the in. ferOr 10 the superior has been slow. orderly and peaceful. and accompanied by considera- ton for the inferior without parallel in the history of race or country It was only when nll tho higher interests, both moral and indus- trial. were threatened with destruction by Poly. nesian ignorance and barbarism that resort vas hal 10 force to rescue them
 Force hay been used twice-once in 1871, when the indignant people demanded new constitution of Kalakaua, nnd again in 1893, when twenty years of bitter experience had taught tho lesson that compromise was useless and Inc only remedy was to do away with the monarchy altogether. The result was one which ihoughtful men had long known to be in. eYtable Kalakaua and Lilionkalan had aban- doned every healthy and saving tradition Of the monarchy and were giving themselves over 10 heathenish practices which would have soon left in Hawaii nothing worth saving.
 "lf the revolution had not come in 1893 1t would have come i.l 1894. The logic of events made il irresistible Even those good loyal. isIs, Cleveland and Gresham, cannot put life into dead and rotten monarchy.
 Mir Gresham says tho revolution was the result Of conspiracy between Mir Stevens and few American citizens When did the conspiracy take placey Mr Stevens and Capt Wttse were away on another island when the revolution took place. They found the town in a state ot revolution whyn they came back If MT Stevens was in conspiracy it must have been with the queen. for it was lhe queens mad attempt 10 proclaim . new constitution and nothing else which put an end 10 the mon. archy."
