destiny" of Hawaii is to become
central emporium for vast com
merce that will cross the Pacific East
and West.
The jingo talk of United States
naval officers about making Hawaii
the "Gibraltar of the Pacific is
absurd. There is no similarity to
Gibraltar in the situation, and in
case of war Hawaii would be an
element of weakness to the United
States, for it would require Il large
force to protect the numerous har-
bors and the commerce from the
operations of hostile fleet. It is
not the natural or desirable
destiny" of Hawaii TO become sim
ply naval station or outpost of the
United States.
If these islands are to enjoy peace
and prosperity as producing and
trading nation, it is not annexation
we want but naturalization. Hawaii
should be in the Pacific what Switz-
erland is in Europe, neutral ground.
In case of war this would be the
rendezvous of all kinds of merchant
ships, and we would not be exposed
to the annexation advantage" of
being blockaded if not seized and
turned into a battle ground by any
nation with a stronger navy than
the United States.
The n. Y. Herald has this to say
upon this point: England is under
obligations with France not to med
die in Hawaii. If it shall turn out
that the United States, by egging on
controversies in Hawaii, promoted
and achieved the recent revolt and
then hasteued treaty of cessiou
made with the rebels, England and
France will be free to release one
another from their self-denying con,

DID THE UNITED STATES AS
SIST THE REVOLUTIONS

Writers in the Provisional party
organs are growing more reckless
the further events of the third week
of January recede from view. Rev.
S. E. Bishop does his fathers coun-
try dishonor when he makes the
United States Government a party
to riots and revolutions by fixed
policy, as he does when he perverts
the truth by quoting the instruc-
tions Of Secretary Bayard to Minis
ter Merrill. Those instructions were
never intended as a pretext to sup
port revolutionists. Mr.. Bishop
practically comedies, however, that
Minister Stevens violated the tenor
Of those instructions at ? PIN. of
January II, by refusing to aid the
Government (at the head of which
was the Queen) in maintaining order
There is the best of authority,
moreover, for the assertion that the
conjunction of United States naval
forces with the revolutionists was
premeditated. At meeting of Her
Majesty's Ministers with prominent
business men on Sunday, January
Is, the question was discussed as to
whether aid in preserving order
should be solicited from the United
States authorities. The Ministers
on being asked if they were prepared
to maintain order with their own
forces replied in the affirmative
Thereupon one of the gentlemen in
conference with the Ministers, who
is now high in the councils of the
Provisional Government, significant,
ly remarked, "The troops from the
Boston will be landed whether you
want them or not" A leader of the
Drei Hundred declared to mer,

question of who dcposcd the Queen
and set up the Provisional Govern
ment. 1t is claimed on the part of
the 2. G.. that "the people," that
vague and much-bcdevilled entity,
did the doposing act as we'll as the
setting up of the present govern
ment. 1t is asserted by the Queen
and her partisans, ON the other
hand, that the surrender of the
Government was compelled by and
made to the superior force of the
United States navy, brought ashore
for that purpose. In so far as the
term "the people may bo taken to
represent and describe a majority of
the residents of these Islands, there
is no doubt that "the people" fully
concur in the contention that the
deposition of the monarchy and the
supplanting of the constitutional by
the revolutionary government, was
effected by the naval forces of the
e.. S. acting under the immediate
direction of Minister Stevens, and
by no other agency. There is, we
believe, no room to doubt that but
for the landing of the naval forces
and the pledges given by Minister
Stevens in the premises, there would
have been no revolution and the
Queen and Constitution would to-
day be in place and force the same
as they were a year ago to-day. In
the face of such facts then, it seems
difficult to prove or to make Colonel
Blount believe that the American
Minister and naval forces were not
tie prime factors in insuring the
success of the revolutionary move
ment
Now, taking it for granted that
Colonel Blount shall decide, as q
matter of fact, that the forces of the
United States navy and not the peo
pie of Honolulu upset the throne
and deposed the Queen and Govern
ment, is there anything very violent
in the presumption that he will, or
behalf of the United States, seek tc
undo that mischief and meddling by
restoring conditions, as nearly as
possible, to their status quo ante
Permit the inquiry, What less car
the U. S. possibly do. under the cir
cumstances, and still retain the res
pect of themselves or of the worlC
