THE PRESIDENTS VIEW.

The message with which President
Cleveland accompanies Hawaiian CORE
spondence presents the most logical argu-
meDt that appears in any of Mr.. Cleve-
lands state papers. Accepting his facts
from Mr.. Blount, be makes out plausible
case so far as his own action is concerned.
He does net state why he bad undertaken
TO play lone hand when Congress was in
session and ready to assist but the
assumption is fair that he thought when
the special session came to an end be
he could win without help. The sequence
OF events that occurred commencing Satur-
day, January IA, and ended on the 10Th,
when the Hawaiian Commissioners sailed
tor the United States bearing treaty pro-
viding for annexation, is rerited from the
Blount point of view. Mr.. Stevens con-
tradicts this Blount point of view in i'm
portant details. MI Stevens says that the
Boston's marines came ON shore nearly
fifty hours after the fall of the Queen. In
landing this force the Minister and the
naval commander were guided by the
instructions issued In 1887 by Secretary
Bayard. A message which adheres to one
statement. which is contrOverted by
reputable actors in the drama. without
giving the grounds on which his adherence
is based cannot reach the public mind with
any considerable force. Much depends
upon facts. and the weight Of evidence is
against the facts the President relies upon.
There is one admitted fact which the
President avoids. The Queens action in
repudiating the constitution which consti-
tuted the source of her authority is referred
to, but not as furnishing a motive for the
revolution that this was the base of the
situation. A revolution without cause
would be condemned on general princi.
Piles. But a revolution in defense OF life,
property and political rights might be
justified in resortiDg TO irregular methods
Of procedure. The conditions under which
the Hawaiian revolutionists acted deter
mines the question whether or not revolu-
ton was justifable. These conditions
Mr.. Cleveland does not consider. He does
not seem 10 think them of any i'm mportance
He is keenly sensitive as to any injustice
that may have been done the Queen, but
oblivious to any acts Of the Queen which
impelled subjects to incur the pains and
penalties Of a course which, if unsuccessful,
would constitute treason. The Presidents
appeal to the sense of justice of the Amer
lean people would have more force if he
had first shown that an injustice had been
done to the Queen. As facts come to US
from other sources it appears that the
Queen was deprived of her authority be-
cause she bad forfeited it. The new con-
stitution she prepared would have exposed
the white residents of the islands to ter
rors of despotic rule under a monarch that
was not fit to rule at all. The message
will make no converts to the cause Mr..
Cleveland advocates. Americans without
distinction of party will feel regret that
an American President should discuss
matters growing oit of a revolution from
the standpoint that the ruler could do no
wrong-that if a wrong was attempted or
committed it had no bearing whatever
upon the events that followed.

A WORD TO THE WISE.

A local article in THE CALL Of Monday
recorded the complaints from persons who
take books from the Free Library of mat
tention to duty on the part OF employees.
The library attendants, it is said, regard
visitors as persons with no well-defned
rights that can be enforced. While the
library is free the services of attendant Is
are not. The city pays each one salary.
and expects as faithful service as though
the visitors paid their dollar and half a
quarter. as at other libraries. 1t seems TO
be assumed that the patrons of the Free
Library have no political influence. In-
dividually they may not have, but col
lectively they supply the library with the
money that buys books and pays salaries.
1t will be well for the attendants to con-
slider these things.

DEATH OF JOHN M'KEE.
A Pioneer Banker of the City Passes
AwaV.


John Mckee, president of the San Fran
cisco Clearing house and one of the pioneer
bankers of this city. died of heart disease
at his residence on Sunday.
Mr. Mckee was connected with the Tai
liant Banking Company, but of later years
had not devoted himself closely to busi-
ness on account of failing health, and
after his return from business trip to Los
Angeles In October last he was confined to
the house.
In addition to his relations with the
banking institutions of the city Mr..
Mckee was prominently Identified with
the California Powder Works, the Capital
Gas Company of Sacramento and the
Pacific Union Club. member also of The
board of trustees of the Protestant Orphan
Asylum and of the board of the Young
Mems Christian Association. He was
also prominently identified with the Third
Congregational Church.
Mr.. Mckee was native of West Vir-
gina and was born in 1926. He came tn
California in 1850. and since 1857 he had
been continuously identified with the
banking interests of this city.
He leaves a widow and three children,
all grown. The funeral will be held at
noon to-day from the Third Congrega-
tiOnal Church on Fifteenth street. near

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

It was given out some days ago that the
Cleveland administration would cover its
inglorious retreat from Hawaii by a -four
ish Of trumpets in behalf of the Nicaragua
canal. The adoption Of such a policy
would indicate resource in leadership of
which Mr.. Cleveland up to the present
time has given no sign. Now that the
islands are safe it may be possible for the
administration to pose as an advocate of a
distinctive American policy in Nicaragua
and elsewhere. The people will not
quarrel with motive that leads to good
results. Mr.. Cleveland has yet something
more than three years to serve as p resi-
dent. and that period is a long time TO
walt for the resumption of work on the
canal.
The conclusion has been generally
reached that without Government aid the
canal will not be completed for years to
come. There are many conditions which
deter private capital seeking such invest
ment. To make the canal safe invest
ment there must be an exercise of author
ity which no com bination of capitalists
should be permitted to acquire. The fact
that the liabilities of the present company
in one form and another amount TO about
S7,000.000 is no argument against the
assumption of control by the Government
Ii there has been waste under the limita-
tion Of private management the mole
reason that the work should be taken up
by party that can enforce its authority.
Mr.. Cleveland will be welcomed cor
daily into the ranks of American states
men. He has had experience enough in
q tn nj ha bon
that his conversion will be permanent.
The Presidents December message de-
clared for the construction of the canal,
but was silent as to the means. If the
President should add to his declaration
in the message a suggestion to the effect
that there is idle silver enough in the
treasury vaults to put the canal in work.
ing order he would give strength to the
hope that his future policy will be con-
Quoted On more pronounced American
lines than he has followed in the past.
The House Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce has agreed to a joint
resolution appointing three Senators and
three Representatives to investigate the
rresent condition of the canal Senator
Morgan thinks the time has come when
the United States should build the canal
or step aside and let some other nation
build it. Senator Morgan is half right.
1t is time that the United States should
aid in the construction of the canal, but it
never will be time for the United States to
step aside and let some other nation build
it. With an extsDsive coast line on the
Atlantic and Pacific, we should be in a
pretty fix If some naval power should hold

STEALThY TAXATION.

Mr.. ClevelaGu objects 10 tariff taxes be-
cause the people do not sufficiently realize
how much they contribute TO the revenue.
The President says:
The indirect and almost steallhy manner in
which large part of our taxes are exacted and
degenerated sense OF official accountability
have led TO growing extravaganza in Govern
mental appropriations.
One reason why indirect taxes are not
felt is because in most cases they are the
voluntary contributions of foreigners for
the privilege of selling goods in our market.
For example. steel rails can be made in
Europe for $40 a ton. The American
price is S26 per ton. The duty is S11;
but let us suppose that 1t is Sc. 1t is clear
that If the foreign manufa cturer wants 10
sell steel rails in the American market he
has to pay the aiff-reDce between cost
and the American price, which In the ex-
ample is supposed to be So.
The free-trader would let foreign rails
in free. and impose taxes on American
manufactures and workiDgmen. When
man pays direct taxes lie knows what he
pays. But be has to pay all the same. 1t
is everywhere admitted that our national
Government is m ore efficient, more honest
and economical than the average OF our
municipal governments. We do not know
what city can claim to be an exception to
this rule. But municipal revenue is de-
rived from two sOurces-a tax on property
and licenses for doing business. The lat
ter source is, TO an extent, Objectionable.
as it is in a sense tax on industry. But
every dollar that is paid into the city
treasury comes direct from the pocket of
the people. And yet this open and direct
method of procuring revenue supports
much more extravagant governments than
the Federal Government. which collects
taxes in a stealthy manner

THE UNANIMOUS VERDICT RULE

1t is becoming every day more clear that
under the rule requiring unanimous ver-
diets the law is disregarded. 1t is exceed
ingly difficult to get twelve men to agree to
verdict which enforces the admitted right
of society to take human life in punish
ment of crime. In sentencing O'NeiIl yes
terday for the murder of Mrs. Critics
Judge Wallace made especial reference to
the fact that one juror had presented to
eleven jurors the alternative of no agree
ment or verdict of manslaughter. The
case was one upon which there could be no
ground Of compromise. The accused was
guilty or be was not. If guilty the crime
was murder of the most atrocious charac-
ter. Yet to avert a disagreement the
eleven right-minded jurors allowed one
illogical mind to dictate their verdict. The
