4 WASHINGTON, D. G. Nov. 15.-The
question which now agitates the
public mind at Washington is how
much did Claus Spreckles, the great
sugar magnate of Hawaii, pay the ad-
to secure the restoration
OF the puppet queen Of the Sandwich
Islands to her throne. There has not
been such public condemnation of the
acts of president by the public press
Of all political beliefs since the time of
Andrew johnson. It is looked upon
here as a direct slap at ex-President
Harrison and James G.. Blaine by that
prince of mugwumps, Gresham, who
hates both beyond measure.
a de facto government of which Mr.
Dole is president has now prevailed
in the Sandwich Islands for a period of
nearly nine months. This government
was brought about by a direct uprising
of the white people who own 70 per
cent. of the property and have so per
cent. of the intelligence of the island.
AS nearly as can be ascertained at this
writing, the revolution which de-
throned Queen Liliouokalani had COM
pleted it's work two days before the
American marines were landed to pro-
tect American property and life. The
Queen was deposed because she at
tempted to override the provisions Of
the constitution which prevented her
RECKLESS expenditure of the public
monies in debaucheries and immorali-
ties, and because she sought to place
the whites, by a subversion of the ex-
listing constitution, in the power of the
natives which would be dangerous
and perhaps a murderous experiment.
The revolutionary government has
been recognized by all the great pow
ers. During the previous session of
congress, the provisional government
submitted to the senate of the United
States the text Of a proposed treaty of
annexation to this country which was
not acted upon by the senate owing to
the desire of the incoming administra-
ton. Now comes along Grover Cleve-
land and his kindergarten cabinet who
at the instance of the sugar speculator,
Spreckles, propose to reinstate the
Queen in power by force of arms if
necessary thus destroying and levy
| ing war upon friendly nation, so
recognized by all the powers, without
the action of congress as provided in
| the constitution of the United States.
Thus has the intoxication of "bull
headedness" and the inspiration of a
! kindergarten secretary of state
plunged this country into a ridiculous
position, because if the queen is re-
stored by the United States, it will
/ give her a chance without recourse to
sue the United States in the court of
claims for damages for ousting her,
! since her restoration now would mean
| that the United States had been in
strumental in securing her downfall
before. The kindergarten secretary
of state also charges the former adj
ministration with about all the crimes
known to the calendar. The reason
that Claus Spreckles wants the queen
restored is patent enough. He was
her banker and could charge her what
usurious interest he pleased. The first
thing that the provisional government
had to do when it got into power was
to pay up the queens debts to Speck:
les Besides this he could import
cheap coolie labor under the queer
who did not care fig SO long as she
was allowed her paramours and plenty
of cash to squander. This is, however
one more exemplifcation of the fact
that it is only necessary to give the
Democratic calf plenty Of rope and he
4 will hang himself.

garten methods it will be we'll to call at
