MIR. Coudert on tho Higher Law.

The subjoined remarks about Mr.. CLEvE-
LANDS personal interference in the affairs
OF Hawaii. are attributed by the NelD York.
Herald to Mr.. FREDERIC r. CouDERT. dis
tinguished Democratic lawyer who is
familiar with the Constitution OF the United
States. We have seldom been called upon
to exhibit on the editorial page OF The Sun
anything moro truly amazing:
"Tns question of whether this Governn emit has q
night to SEND armed force to Hawaii and resstabsh
the Queen on her throne 10 . very grave one In the
abstract do not believe this Government has the
right to interfere In the Affairs Of any foreign nation
people, except to protect the rights Of American ct
sens. But President CLEVELAND said 1t not
theory that oonfronts u.s. It is condition. Good faith
and honor often require us to DO certain things that
otherwise we would not have the disposition to do
The danger Of beginning interference is that don't
know whore It will stop"
That is to say. while Mr.. CoUDERr doubts
the existence % any constitutional provi-
sion making the President OF the United
States the arbiter Of the destinies of other
nations, and empowering him. on his indi-
vidual responsibility. to set UP and pull
down foreign Governments. nevertheless
Mr.. CoUDERT thinks there may be times
when higher law than the Constitution
warrants the exercise OF such power by
the President. That higher law is vaguely
defined as good faith and honor" the re-
quirements Of the higher law OF good faith
and honor to be determined by Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND Independently, and to be executed by
him secretly and summarily.
If that is not what Mr.. CoUpERT means,
what does he mean!
The old principle OF patriotism. MY
country. right or wrong" Is not likely to
be superseded by "GRovER CLEVELAND,
right or wrong" except perhaps within
very limited circle.

Chinese Registration.

We cannot doubt that the Chinese Minis
ter at Washington will perform his proper
duty in regard to the registration Of our
Chinese people. 1t appears by our WASH
ington despatch printed last Friday that he
has held correspondence with the State De-
partment on the subject, under orders from
Pckin. He gave informal assurance to
our Government. while the Extension bill
was pending in Congress. that. in case OF
its adoption, 1.-THE Chinese laborers in the
United States would take out certificates as
provided by law" and he declared that the
passage Of the bill would afford his Gov
eminent great satisfaction"
After using such language in conference
with the Secretary Of State. and after tho
enactment Of the desired measure. it can
not be supposed that the Minister will
countcnance the unlawful conduct OF his
countrymen living among us. or will fail to
cause them to understand that they must
respect tho American registration law. and
take out their certificates during the extra
half year allotted to them by Congress for
that purpose. The Minister'S mandates
are regarded as authoritative by all Chi
nese subjects domiced in the United
States. and even the Six Chinese Companies
would not think OF disobeying them. AS n
correspondent OF The Sun has said. the
Minister possesses the power to punish any
disobedient subject while he stays in this
country. and also to provide tor his punish
ment in China when he ret.rns there.
Every Chinese stands in awe before the i'm
peral authority.
We shall learn within few days what Is
tho Minister'S purpose in regard to the
Registration act Of tho extra session OF
Congress. II the 10000 or more Chinese
living in the United States make haste to
register at the Offices of the Collectors OF
Internal Revenue. under the rules drawn
up in the Treasury Department we shall
have good proof that he has sent out in
structioEs to that effect. II they fail to do
so, we shall have reason for believing that,
when his Government expressed desire
for the extension OF the time OF rcgistra-
ton. it's communication was not made in
good faith. II we are forced to this conclu-
sion. there will be yet further trouble for
the Chinese in America.

Why Liiiuoka1ani Was Dcthroned.

Among the extraordinary features OF
Secretary GREsHAM's argument for Ha-
wuian royalty, one which must be noted
is that II ignores utterly the causes which
brought about the revolution. All that he
has TO say on this subject is that Queen
LlLIUOKALASI announced her intention.
on Saturday. Jan. IA. 1898. to proclaim u
new Constitution. but the opposition OF her
Ministers and others induced her to speedily
change her purpose and make public an
nouTtomcnG OF the fnct." Nearly all the
great revolutions in history have been tho
result OF an attempt OF the governing
authority to trample on the rights OF tho
governed. The fact that the Queen OF
Hawaii was thwartcd. and drew back in
her purpose. before it could DO consummated.
did not shield her from the penalty OF
attempting It. Tie wrong was in the at
tempt. and the prompt decision OF those
who had the chief commercial interests in
tho islands at sake not to allow her to
remain where she might again imperil
them was natural.
But Mr.. GRESHAM in all this sees only a
trick to which Minister STEVENS was par

Secretary in his report. as well as the pre-
vious roya! acts that had prepared the way
to that bold outrage. The American people

whore monarchs break faith. and endeavor
to strangle constitutional government Mr.
GRESHAM :rcats this whole matter us
though the Pause OF the revolution was OF
no account whatever.
As to tho other matter involved that OF
The landing of forces from tho cruiser Bos-
ton. Mr.. GRESHAM prefers not to bolieve tho
testimony Of naval officers and Of Minister
STEVENS. His predecessor officially de-
clared that this landing was not made until
"the two parties confronted each other in
angry hostility. with every Indication of an
armed conflict at any moment" and fur
thcr that il was made in conformity with
standing instr:!ctions' for the protection
OF the lives and property Of American citi-
Zens. When tine marines did land they
"reDiained Isolated and inconspicuous until
after the success OF the Provisional Gov
ernment." Mr. BLoUNT and Mr. GRESHAM
have gathered all the facts they could to
refute these statements. based on the re-
ports OF our diplomatic and naval repre-
sentatlves then at Honolulu, and have de-
cided against them on the questions OF
Judgment and vcracty involved.
That monarchy, If restored in Hawaii by
our republic, will practically be restored
by overshadowng force. cannot be denied.
Indeed, we probably have at last the key to

ment in his stead OF an officer less liable lust
