SOME FACTS OF HISTORY.

1t has suited the purpose of Mr..
Gresham to represent the overthrow
of royalty in Hawaii as a plot con-
trived by Minister Stevens and a
few residents of the island, aided
by naval forces from the Boston
under Captain Wiltse.
This view leaves out of consider
alton the facts of recent history.
For many years the sentiment had
been growing among the most in
telligent and influential people of
Hawaii that the reigning dynasty
was an obstacle rather than an aid
to the progress of the Islands, and
would eventually be discarded. The
course of events had shown that
the future of Hawaii was likely to
be autonomy as an independent re-
public or annexation to the United
States. The only question all along
has been when this change would
come.
In the revolution of 1887 Kala-
kaua's prompt submission saved
the monarchy. Royalty was suf-
fered to exist because it was con-
venient temporary expedient; yet,
when a great popular meeting, six
years ago, resolved that "the adj
ministration of the Hawaiian Gov
eminent has ceased, through cor
ruption and incompetence, ade.
quately to perform its functions, a

tanned in 1898.
Thus, even in 1887, the mon.
archy had been put upon its good
behavior kalakaua had dispelled
the storm for a time, but it was
certain to break out again. His
successor, in coming to the throne,
found the old royal prcrogativc
hedged about in many ways and
resented the fact. A decision of
the Supreme Court in favor of her
authority to appoint her ministers
elated her, and she sought new
stretches of power, at length ven
turing to seize them by force. Then
came her downfall.
The history of the gradual
growth of all anti-monarchial SEN
timent in Hawaii, Mr.. Gresham
finds it convenient to ignore. The
overthrow Of the Queen was really
the logical development of years Of
experience. Iiliuokalani might
have been allowed to reign, as q
matter of convenience, throughout
her life; yet it had long been OBJ
vious that any reactionary and DIES
potic conduct might cost her the
throne. There is no warrant fot
assuming that her overthrow would
not have been accomplished with
out the landing of marines from tn,

THE FULL MEANING OF IT

Restoring the StaN qn0 ante bel
Inn in Hawaii, if that is what Mr..
Gresham desires to do, morally in
wolves much more than the install
lation of mongrel monarchs on a
preposterous throne.
The Stam que, ETC.,, included a
Liliuokalani lottery scheme to give
the Louisiana Company new lease
of life. Did Mr.. Gresham intend
to restore that?
1t also covered an arbitrary con-
stitution, which took power from
the people and gave it to the crown.
Was that to have been put on the
pedestal with its beneficiary?
It also involved a cabinet COM
posed Of one man who misused
public funds, another who was
caught at filling Government con-
tracts by short weight, another
who had been reported to the legis-
lature for peculiar fnanciering, v
and fourth who was a brainless
fop. Were we to have had these
paragons again along with a low
comedy Queen ?
1t further involved a Government
Of paramours, bummers and bride
takers, the very offal Of mankind.
Was that to have had its proper
place in the stain quo ante beiinm?
When Mr.. Gresham begins tc
act out his great drama of justice,
if he intends to go through the
whole play he will need to carry
disinfectants with him and hold his
nose firmly whenever the scene
shifts.

THE MEMBERSHIP TEST.

In his speech at the Wundenberg
hearing Paul Neumann declared
that the office. holding test in Ha-
waii now is membership of the An
neNation Club rather than faithful
ness or other merit in the man.
This is a statement which we
are compelled to criticise. 1t is dis
proved by the presence in the Gov
eminent employ of men who do not
belong to the Club and who are
enemies of the cause it represents.
1t is also opposed in its terms by
the demands of the Annexation

late platform, has put the test OF
fitness side by side with that Of

But why, let us ask, ought moi
membership of the Annexation

THE Royalist appeal to the
Americans not to endanger their
life insurance policies by fight

heard on the burlesque stage.

wall, we draw to-day a series of
clippings from Democratic and In
dependent journals alone. Hereto
fore, though freely quoting from
Democratic papers like the New
York SIN and Uoyld, San Fran

Courier Journal, we have not
segregated Democratic from Re

readers are given a chance to look
at the Presidents Hawaiian policy
from the standpoint of newspapers,
published in all parts of the United
States, which supported Mr.. Cleve-
land in both Of his quadrennial
contests. Among these papers are
such opponents of Irish-American
sentiment as the Boston Pfl0f, of
Southern Democratic opinion as the
Atlanta Constitution and Lynchburg
NeyS, of Mugwump policy as the
Springfield Republican, and of gem
eral Eastern and Western Demo
cratic feeling as the Hartford Times,
Providence Journal and Los An
geles Herald. 1t goes without say
ing, of course, that these papers
represent the wishes of an enor-
nous Democratic and independent
constituency which, besides infu-
encing the press, is certain to con-
troll the action of a great many
Democratic Congressman.
It was early foreseen that moth
ing in the way of national policy
could be likely to arouse the Demo
cratic party more than a measure
which would put that great organ

upon these experiences with deer
chagrin, and they do not care tc
risk any more of them, even at the
behest of Mr.. Cleveland. No one
knows better than they that if Mr.
Cleveland restores the Hawaiian

A CORRESPONDENT asks If Mali

not stand for royal prerogative IN
the Western hemisphere. 1t is true
that he does, but not in a civilized
State. Malietoa is little more than
savage chief of a barbarian race
and is not counted upon in a discus
sion of the politics of the Western
hemisphere any more than is the
King of the Ojibways or the high
chief of a Patagonian tribe. 1t re-

SPRINGER ON FINANCE
How He Will Undertake to Re-
form the Tariff.
II Can Be Done, but the Mckinley
Law Must Help for Another
Year.
= Special to THE MoRNrNo CALL.

WAsHINGToN. May 6-Some of the
Democratic statesmen are hard at work
trying to solve the fiscal problem which
will be laid before the extra session. Rep
resentatiye Springer OF Illinois, who was
chairman of the Ways and Means Commit
tee in the last House, is giving the matter
his particular attention, presumably with the
idea OF assuming the leadership on finance
and tariff in the next Congress. Mr.
SprinGer's attempts heretofore at leader
ship have not been successful. He may
be hard student. but he has never given
evidence of an ability TO use what knowl-
edge he has acquired with good effect. He
has been in consultation with Edward
Atkinson, and believes that he can devise a
scheme by which a reduction of $50. 600, ,0c0
or $40, 600 in the dutiable list of the tariff
can he made without ausing deficit In the
treasury.
He claims that under the present tariff
the expenses of the Government are met
with receipts from the internal revenue tax
and the duties Oh liquors and tobacco. Out
side of this. e asserts that the income from
the tarff duties is used to meet pension
payments. Il is argued that If under the
present tariff $50, cO0,00O is raised, exclu-
SlNb VI Ailc tdA bl iluuULS anu LbDhGcu, q
reduction of $40. .oO00 600 can be made and
still no deficiency created in the pension
payments. This is figured on the basis that
arrears on the new pension certificates
amount to about $40, .000 year, and
that they will in a very short time dwindle
down and leave the regular annual pension
roll at something like $3.50, ,o00000.
In making their estimates statesmen like
Springer accept the estimate made by ex-
Secretary Foster of the probable receipts
and expenditures for the next fiscal year
ending June 80, 1894. Mr. Foster estimated
the appropriation for the next year at
1915, 100000, and if the present tariff is kept
intact the revenues, it is estimated, will be
S4O5, ,O0O, 600
Mr.. Springei's calculations for a new
tariff. in which very considerable reduc-
ton viii be made, are based on the assump-
tion that the present law will remain in
effect until the hrst of 1894. at least. 1t is
proposed to allow an interval of six
months between the taking effect Of the re-
ductions on raw materials and reductions
on manufactured goods under the proposed
tariff revision.

DENIsoN. Tex, May 6.-Sen nsational de-

Luttrell murder case at Sherman. The news
became current that Governor Hogg had
written TO Judge Brown for particulars in
the Carlisle-Luttrell case, as a pardon had

II is said Luttrell has divulged informa-

secure him reprieye, or possibly pardon in
fell. The exact confession cannot be had,
but 1t is said that since 1873 James NJ Brown,
John Carlisle and his friends have killed
24S men in order to destroy testimony
against them in murder cases.
James NJ. Brown, in 1873, became in
yolyed in quarrel with a stable-hand and
