The Hawaiian Governments Appeal to
the American People.

II Mr.. CLEvELAND's delay In complying
with the Senate's demand for the papers
relating to the Hawaiian affair. was
prompted by the belief that no would soon
hear OF the accomplishment OF his pro-
gramme. he must be deeply disappointed
by the latest news from Honolulu. He
must see that there Is no foundation for his
assumption that the ex-Queen commands
the confidence and the respect OF the Ha-
wailans. and that the Provisional Govern
ment Is so weak that it would needs
collapse the moment an American Minis
ter should withdraw his recognition OF
II. On the contrary. 1t turns out that
the Provisional Government is able and
determined to resist any attempt to
overthrow it on the part OF Minister
WILLIS and Admiral IRWIN: and that,
even IL the latter should succeed, by force
and bloodshed. in restoring LILIUoKALASI,
che could not retain her throne without the
continuous support OF American soldiers.
Mr.. CLEVELAND must also have read with
interest the proceedings OF mass meeting
at Honolulu at which resolutions were
adopted. beginning with an affirmation OF
the right of the Provisional Government to
determine the destiny OF Hawaii should tho
annexation treaty be rejected and ending
with an appeal to the representatives OF
the American people in Congress against
the apparent intentions OF their Chief
Magistrate.
Confronted with such situation at Hon
olulu. the Senate will recognize the neces-
city OF examining the instructions given to
WILLIS, without delay. Was he authorized
to encourage the adhereats Of LILIUoKA-
LAM to attempt a counter revolution against
the Provisional Government. and 90 make
this a pretext for landing United States
troops on the plea Of restoring ORDER In
case the eX-Queen should DO reinstated
through coup d'ttlt effected under such
conditions, was WILLIS authorized To use
American soldiers to maintain her in power?
Was there any understanding with the
British Government as 10 the cooperation
OF British armed forco for such a
purpose Were the original orders given
to WILLIS subsequently modified, and II
SO. To what extent aud under what cir
eumstanees That is to say. was such
modification a backdown or a trick

one or two religious bodies. however lnrGe and

instruction Mt the expense OF tho State must
have a universal character and be adapted 10

be useless to press tho demands OF one or two

The Year of the Surplus and the Year

Congress he definitely began his career as

Mr.. CLEvELAND's carefully reasoned dread
of a surplus. or. for the matter OF that. with
the then existing platform OF the Demo-
cratic party. for him to say that a ICON

made by adding to the free list
This year. 1893. Mr.. CLEVELAND has
again enjoyed the felicity OF addressing
Congress from the White House. upon
tho state OF national affairs. We are
still confronted with a condition. but OF
radically different nature from that OF
six years ago. Instead OF Treasury over

cessity Of tapping II in some way so that
our circulating medium can flow back

are confronted by deficit in the incoming

Simpson. Wilson, and Salt.

We have too seldom the happiness OF
agreeing with the Hon. JERRY SIMPSON OF
Medicine Lodge. but we agree with him in

mittee for putting salt on the free list. Salt
is produced in Kansas. and Mr.. SIaIPsoN is
unable TO see why salt ought not to he pro-
tected. IL protection prevails. lie says. with
product" and he maintains that as such it
is entitled to protection in a tariff framed
for the purpose OF fostering American in
terests. Prof. WILSON seems to have sup
posed that free salt means the free raw
material OF salt, something that is manu-
featured into salt. By applying 10 gentle
men In the salt business ia New York, Ohio,
Michigan, Kansas, aud the other salt-pro-
ducing States, he might have discovered his
mistake, and learned that salt is salt ii.

IL Prof. WILSON was resolved 10 tin over
the American salt cellar. ne should first have
familiarizpd himself with its contents. He
should put revenue duty on salt. except
as follows:
Saline springs, lakes. lIcks. ard oceans to

Rock salt in the original mine. unlored.
to lie admitted free.

We suggest to the Hon. JERRY SIMPSON
10 carry little Kansas salt to Prof. WIIsUy
and explain what it is and how it is made.

The most peculiar feature Of the war in
Braz'l is that the belligeronts cannot get Mt
each other. The loyal army is unable 10 eight
the rebel ravy. Admiral MEILo cannot reach
his enemy on land. and President pEINoTo has
not been ablo to reach his enemy at sea. The
rebel ships fre few shots into Rio once In n
while. and the shore batteries take few shots
at the rebel shps when they get n chance: but
tho Admiral dare not go ashore and tho P-csi-
don't cannot take to soa. 1t is one OF the most
Illogical wars that have ever been fought, even
In South America. 1t has been going on for

hundred lives. or even fifty. have been lost by
both beiligcrrnts within that time. We sup-
poso it can be continued as long as MHLLo Is
ablo to find supplies and PEIzoTo is able to
keep him OF shore. Perhaps the most sad
dening thing about the war is its expense.
The people o! Brazil seem to take but little
interest in II. and very few OF them appear to
