VITA the audience between the acts of a
comic opera. They are moving the last
scenery in Hawaii, and we haven't the
least idea what the rising curtain may
reveal. Chicago Evening Post.
1t is very evident that the president is
opposed to anything like annexation,
while ms secretary of state has coun-
SIZED the restoration of the queen. Such
a. policy Is simply 4 crime against civil
ization.-PhiIadelpii Inquirer.
I ;. 1t is positively declared that the cab
met IS unit on the Hawaiian policy.
The other aspirants for president in the
cabinet probably favor the policy for the
reason that they are certain it will kill

patch.
By his course in the affairs of the
Sandwich islands, President Cleveland
plainly shows determination to do his
full duty in the premises and not to
give way to any tendency which COM

haste III this matter, and that every step

Is no likelihood of resistance or serious
trouble in the course upon which the

them, and the country declines to be in
famed over the fate of the filibusterers
at Honolulu, there is plainly need of a
new sensation, which it is Hoped that
the presidents tooth may yet supply
