TOPICS OF THE DAY.

The Joy exhibited by the
unthinking crowd among the
annexationists is amusing to
behold. There is no reasoning
and no sense in their jubilant
hurrahing. and all that they
know themselves. is that they
have some vague idea that some
thing "has gone to Congress "
The small fraction who are able to
think cannot see that the situa
ton has changed one little bit.
The usual inquiries have been
presented in Congress, and may
or may not be answered by the
President. Such enquiries are
nearly always preferred when
matters of Importance are being
transacted during periods where
Congress is not in session. 1t is
the prerogative of the President
to furnish the desired information
or refuse it for reasons of State.
Hawaii holomua = Progress. [volume] (Honolulu) 1893-1895, 1893-12-23

In the meantime, the P. G. is
feeling very unhappy, because it
cannot learn what Minister Willis
proposes to do if refusal is
given to his demand for q sur
render. Ii it could be ascertained
that the American Minister in
tended to send the answer of the
L. G.. to Washington, and await
further instructions, there might
be some reason for the revolu-
tionists to rejoice, and it would
perhaps give them little more
time to draw their salaries
and enjoy their brief authority.
But if the Minister already
has full instructions to act-and
all indications tend that way
there is not so much fun in send
ing a refusal and risking being
kicked out BY force. In that case
n surrender-say under protest
would suit the constitution of
most of our wise rulers-much
better than an open stand of
hostility. 1t would be advisable
for the heads of the government
to find out where they are--if it
is possible for them to do so.
Hawaii holomua = Progress. [volume] (Honolulu) 1893-1895, 1893-12-23

That President Cleveland after
having demanded the surrender of
the Provisional Government ever
again could treat with them AS a
sovereign and equal power is per-
fectly absurd. If the bosh and
and jingoism in the Republican
press and among Republican
Senators and Congressman could
have influence on Democratic
administration, We would like to
know where the benefit would be
for the party which elected such
an administration and defeated
the Republicans in the last cleo
tion. Mob, dy who has follow
ed the vote on the repeal of the
silver act can doubt that Presi-
dent Cleveland has his party
well In hand and that all men,
bers belonging to the Democratic
party will act as honest men and
stand shoulder to shoulder
on every matter of Importance
rather than risk split and a
possible ruin of their party.
President Cleveland's policy in
regard to Hawaii will be carried
out even if it takes every man in
the United States to do it.

Minister Misconduct.
Coronado, Cal. Nov. 80. 1898.

Coronado, Cal. Nov. 80. 1898.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:
have been reading with curio-
sity Mr.. Stevens queer pronuncia-
mentos against President Cleve-
lands Hawaiian policy.
He speaks about American
piety, American benevolence,
American patriotism" but he does
not cite any instruction from the
State Department directing or
authorizing him as Minister to
intrigue and plot for the overthrow
of the constitutional government
to which he was accredited, or to
land United States troops and
guns against the wishes of the
government, to cover end protect
the revolutionists. or to hoist the
American flag in Honolulu and
declare protectorate. or to urge
and labor for annexation.
1t is this authorization of his
undiplomatic action which he
needs to produce; and his talk
about American piety and Amer
leap benevolence,' etc., has no
bearing on the question of his con
duct. He reminds me of similar
person of whom an Arizona man
man once said, He dives down
into the unfathomable and scars
up into the infinite. but he never
pays cash"
The plain fact about Mr. Cleve-
lands Hawaiian policy is that 1t is
not at all new policy. 1t is in
strict accord with all our diplo-
matte traditions of intercourse
with Hawaii That policy, honor
able to us and just to Hawaii, has
had for its object: ID To refrain
from subjugatlng its government
ourselves, as we were the first
nation to recognize the Hawaiian
nationality and independence, and
t2l to protect Hawaii against
attack by any other nation. That
is also President Cleveland's policy
and he thus maintains the time
honored, just and honorable atti-
tude of our government toward the
island kingdom pursued by US for /!
half century.
SHOULD NOT SEEK CONTROL.
Mr.. Webster, recognizing the |
Hawaiian government in 1912,
wrote
1.-THE United States have regard |
I'd the existing authorities in the |
Sandwich Islands as government |
suited to the condition of the peo-
pie and resting on their own choice,
and the President is of opinoin that !
he interests of all commercial ma
ions require that that government |
should not be interfered with by |
oreign powers. Of the vessels |
which visit the islands it IS known
hat great majority belong to the
United States.
The United States, therefore. are
more interested in the fate of the |
stands and of their government |
han any other nation can be; and /
his consideration induces the |
President to be quite willing to
declare, as the sense of the govern
nent of the United States, that the
Of the Sandwich Isl
lnds ought to be respected; tia. no
Power ought either to take posses
ion of the islands as conquest or
or the purpose of colonization, and
hat no Power ougnt to seek for
my undue control over the existing
