mittee ought to understand that IL they
undertake to make new protective tariff

can they hope to compare successfully III
such business with the past professor OF
protection. WILLIAM MCKINLEY. or with
an equally able master Of tho art. now

EFT REED? What nonsense To suppose
that the inveterate enemies Of n GER
tain economic system and the studous
advocates of another utterly different and
opposed. can suddenly transform them
seves into experts in the application of the
principles for which they have cultivated
lifelong hatred: As well might miners
leave their picks and come up to make
watches. or n lot If uboligincs used to war
clubs begin practice with dynamite guns.
Tho MCKINLEY tariff is probably the most
learned aud scientific composition OF pro-
tectionlsm ever known. 1t has attached to
II the machinery whereby the electric cur
rent of reciprocity can be turned on 1t at
any moment 1t may be thought best. II
another protective tariff is wanted. we can
not imagine anything more anomalous In

MCKINLEY is not in Congress. but REED
Is, and IA member OF the Ways and Means
Committee. II we are to have tariff
for protection let the boss protectonlst

II we are TO have Republican tariff instead
Of n democratic tariff for revenue only. in

All Hall, Hawaii

Every American who has any love OF bis
country in his heart or a thimbleful OF
American blood in his body. must read with
both pride and shame the news that the
men who revolted from L1L1UoKALANI have
been making preparations for self-defence.
and will resist to the uttermost Of their
power any attempt to overthrow the Gov
eminent they have established and to re-
store the heather drab OF Queen. Pride,
because these men. many OF them. are OF
our own stock, and have been doing In Ha-
wall what their ancestors did In the Ameri-
can colonies In 1916. Shame because. the
force against which the Hawaiian republic
cans have been taking precautions Is that
OF the United States. the mother country OF
many OF their number. the natural friend.
ally. and supporter Of freedom. the natural
enemy of monarchy.
The thing which the Hawaiian revolu-
tionists fear. will not come upon them.
This Government. however far from its
proper course IT has been carried by an Ex-
ecutive who mistakes the feeling rs he
ignores tho Constitution of the United
States. will go mo further in the foolish path
OF helping its enemies and hurting its
friends. While the President of the United
States is struggling To put off the day which
will leave his Hawaiian policy in all the
nakcdness OF futility and discontinue. the
men who have made the Provisional Gov
eminent in Hawaii can go on to strengthen
their republic; and they will have the good
wishes of n majority OF the American peo-
pie. pending the inevitable day OF annexa-
ton to the United States.

his crews. Hope ati burns, for all that. Mr..
PEARY an American. is now up there some
where. and we can't tell what he may find.
II he should ind SyMNEs's hole. won't there
be rejoicing in Beaver Valley?
There is one weak point In the declarations
Of MCDoNALD OF Beaver Valley. He says that
his theory Is founded upon the Bible. and can
he proved by the first eight verses OF the Book
OF Genesis We have examined these verses
with McDoNALD In mind, and we must say that
we cannot SEQ his theory In them. nor any sug-
gestion OF It. He also quotes certain passages
OF tho New Testament. and we have looked
them up with results not favorable to him.
He says again that the Copernican system Of
astronomy Is n fake. because IL is opposed to
Scripture: but as for ourselves. we don't look
at It in that way. lie likewise has become
convinced that people who contradict him are
mere cranks but we rather guess he must be
a hollow crank who ought to be watched as
dangerous man.
The PEOPLE OF Beaver Valley who have
formed The Symmcs's Hole society" and
elected MCDoNALD ns its President. must be
anxious to get the latest news from rEARY.

the same as firing ut France or Italy, "a the

VEINS and Mr.. BIoUNT will remain a subjec
about which men may differ: and II is al
natural and legitimate for Senator VEST L
take one view as IL ls for Senator FRYE L
take the other. As to whether tho United
States ought hereafter to contract CLOSET
relations TO the Hawaiian Islands than we
have hitherto held. and. II so. what aspect
those relations should assume. that like.
wise Is a question which will properly como
before Congress by and by; but only when
President CLEVELAND has meekly acknowl.
edged that he has no power. by force or In
trigue. to upset foreign Government. and
that consequently. the whole Hawaiian
business is relegated by him to the Federal
Legislature.
The first and chief thing for the Senate to
discover is whether Mr.. CLEVELAND has
broken his oath Of office by infringing tho
war-makinR power reserved to Congress
by the Constitution. II the original
instructions. whether written or oral.
given to WILLIS can he extorted from
the President and they shall show
that tho Minister was authorized by
force. threat or intrigue to overthrow the
Provisional Government at Honolulu. no
doubt Is possible rs to where Senator VEST
will stand. In his speech on Wednesday he
declared that, as he understood it, the Pro-
vlsional Government of Hawaii was n de
JdciO Government. He went on to point out
the well-known principle OF international
law. that de fdcto Government has the
rights OF de jurc Government. 30 far as
other nations are concerned. Whether"
he continued. THAT Government had been
established rightiully or wrongfuly. II is
to-day a de 1dcto Government. and any
assault upon 1t by the armed forces OF the
United States would be an act OF war which
could only be brought about by action Of
Congress" II the instructions to Minister
WILLIS implied that an armed force was to
be employed In restoring the ex-Queen, such
a purpose would be deprecated and resisted
more sturdily by no one than by Senator
VEST. Such action. he said, would be an act
OF war. and to him 1t seemed incredible that
the President OF the United States should
have come to the conclusion that, without
the previous consent OF Congress- he could
do any such thing.
In conclusion. the Senator from Missouri
said that. II he could havo his way he
would withdraw every American soldier
and sailor from Honolulu. and leave the
people of the Hawaiian Islands to settle
their own affairs. That Is just what the
Hawaians want. 1t has been made plain
by the latest news from Honolulu that the
Provisional Government is abundantly able
to maintain itself. notwithstanding the
moral pressure exerted against it by Mr..
CLEVELAND and the tacit encouragement to
revolt supplied by Mr.. GREsHAM's recon-
AS for the adherents Of tho
ex-Queen LILIUoKALANI. they evidently
have not pluck enough to lift finger on
their own behalf; and. II n monarchy is ever
to 10 re6stabished in Hawaii. 1t will need
not only to be put back. but to be con-
propped up by American bayonets. |
That Is business In which Senator VEST. |
for his part. will not engage.
