Minister Stevens is running the af-
fairs Of Hawaii with high hand. An
editor has been arrested under his
protectorate for criticising the provis-
ional Government, which Is sustained
by an armed force Of American ma
rines.
It would be well fon our State De-
partment to put bit in the mouth 81
this champing and foaming charger as
soon as possible. The latest dispatches
report him as asserting that the senti-
ment in this country is practically
unanimous in favor Of annexation
and that the change administration
win not check the movement
Meanwhile il viii be well for the
Administration to consider upon what
principle Of international law Mr.
Stevens acted when lie declared IA
protectorate over the island and had
the United States flag hoisted over the
public buildings Of their capital city.
There is not a sentence il any writer
on international law, from Grotius "a
the present day, that justifes such con
duct and whatever may have been
the ambition Of Mr.. Harrison and
Minister Stevens 70 establish new
code, it is not likely that Mr. Cley slant
will undertake toeomplete their self
appointed task.
The principle Of justice Is universal
and the humblest nation is entitled /,
the protection il should afford, III vel
as the greatest. This bnsiness Of ,bully
ing small and weak powers shoul,
find no liberation among brave an
powerful people. To sustain Mr
Stevens and ratify the present treat
would be to sanction filibustering an
conspiracy BY American Ministers.

The Difference Between Then
and Now

Hon. James H. Blount took
the oath of office yesterday after
noon before United States Consul
General Severance. He is now
to all intents and purposes United
States Minister to Hawaii, acting
under full authority as Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Pie
nipotentiary. He will probably
present his credentials at the
Hawaiian foreign Office to day.
Hon. John l.. Stevens, ex-Min-
lister to Hawaii, received instruc-
tons from Washington yesterday
to turn over the United States
Legation, together with the
archives. and records, to the new
minister. This will be done
without delay.
1t will be encouraging to the
public to know that Hawaii will
be left, upon the departure of Hon.
J. L. Stevens, under the care of a
capable, wise and just United
States representative like Min
lister BIount, acting with full
authority and discretionary
power. He has already won the
confidence of all classes of our
citizens; there is no shadow of
doubt that he will continue to
receive the moral support of all
citizens interested In the estab-
lishment and maintenance of Just.

The Old Fox.

The people are singularly tran
quill under all these newspaper in
elements to revolt against the Pre-
sident's Hawaiian decisions. The
American enemies of Queen Liliuo-
kalani employ great violence of
language, but we suspect that the in
temperance Of their discourse must
be in inverse ratio to their conf
dence in the justice of their cause
and the chance OF enlisting popular
sentiment in its support. Know
ing that the American people real
ly take next to no interest in the
Hawaiian question they think to
arouse them by loud hollering.
Some of the more rabid and chuck
leheaded of the shcuter5 have be-
gun to cry out for the impeach-
ment of the President. 1t must
make that old fox John l.. Stevens
shake with laughter in mis- hole to
hear of the bother that has been
raised over his last Winters work
at Honolulu.
Hawaii holomua = Progress. [volume] (Honolulu) 1893-1895, 1893-12-08

baseless as Stevens other falls, hood,
Stevens must be credited with the
foulest performance that has ever
tainted American diplomacy. He
Is shown bv his own hand TO have
been willfully untrathful TO his
government as well as treacherous
to the government 70 which he was
accredited. The first principles of
practicable amity among govern
ments. is that a minister shall be
truthful to his own and faithful
to that to which he is accredited.
In nu other way. would it be pos
sible for orderly and peaceble. or
even feasibleiuternational relations
to exist, both these primary obliga-
tions Stevens violated. The whole
story OF Hawaii is one of abase
mant for the American people; of
lawlessness, promoted, abstted and
consumated in the name of the
American people. The President
of the United States has deserved
we'll of his fellow countrymen by
seeking to right the wrong.

Do Justice.

No one who has dispassion-
ately considered the proposition
to annex the Hawaiian islands to
the United States. upon the state
of facts existing there, will quar-
rel with the position taken by
Secretary Gresham that the pro-
visional government of American
citizens, from which the demand
for annexation proceeds, was the
illegitlmate offspring of revo-
lutionarv movement which over
threw the regularly constituted
government of Queen Liliuoka-
lani by force; that the demand
does not proceed from the people
of the islands or from any prop
erly constituted authority; that
therefore the treaty for annex
alton should be withdrawn and
the native government restored
and recognized. There would be
objections to the annexation OF
Hawaii worthy of serious con-
sideration even if the proposition
came from a properly constituted
authority; but the question OF
right must precede the question
of expediency. II the facts are
as stated by Secretary Gresham
it would appear that a great
wrong has already been done to
this feeble state by permitting
the armed forces and authority OF
the United States to be invoked
in support of usurping govern
ment. and that the best atone
ment that can now be made is to
re-establish the independence of
the islands and the chosen
government of their people. st.

The action of the Councils
yesterday has filled the business
community with alarm and grave
apprehensions. 1t was proven
that the government Is a mere
tool in the hands of the bowling
mob which form the majority of
the annexation party. In spite
of the manful and determined
struggle of Minister Damon TO
stop the outrageous and impolitic
step the absurd resolution of Mr..
f. Hatch with the even more
absurd amendment of Mr.. Emme-
luth was adopted by eleven
councillors against one single
vote cast by Mr.. Suhr who prov
ed himself too independent, too
honest and too intelligent to be
driven into line by such men as
Young, Smith, and Emmeluth.

have been able to secure elections
from the people in days gone by
in their own homes except Mr..
Wilder. Mr.. Young although
posing as a representative OF the
mechanics and a specimen of the
horny handed sons of toll found
it necessary to sneak away from
his place of residence and bust
ness and accept an election from
a pocket borough controlled by
plantations. Mr.. ". o. Smith
dare not face the voters in his
place of residence, but was put
into the last Legislature from an
insignificant island district over
ridden by a plantation owner.
Messrs. Waterhouse and Emme-
luth have tried over and over
again to receive the support OF
the voters of Oahu and have been
ANONYMOUSLY defeated every time.
Mr.. Morgan was not even able
to secure an election to seat on
the Road Board. let alone IN
the Legislature and OF the rest of
the councillors only John Ena
has tried to learn what support
the electors are ready to give the
men of the present government.
That he succeeded in getting
elected was simply due to his
sailing under false flag, and
thereby gaining the votes of the
National Reform Party now as
always in the majority In the
country.

to this country or to America
hsd anv share. Mr.. Blount has
fully and cleverly sized these
alleged Americans up and the
action of Gresham proves the
utter contempt in which true
Americans hold these opera,
bouffe rebels. The buster ID
cident to the debate yesterday
will have no effect. Mr.. Hatch

from now until doomsday but
nobody will be bluffed by his
blowing off his steam As a
special pleader before Gresham
he is not much of a success as a
revolutionary politician, he Is a
complete failure The loyal

one thing and that is "tte lo1H Of

Hawaii holomua = Progress. [volume] (Honolulu) 1893-1895, 1893-12-08

The resolution of Mr.. Hatch
makes it obligatory on the Off
Gals in the government to prove
their loyalty to the Provision
al Government. How this feat is
to be performed the country was
not informed unless the test pro-
posed by Mr.. W. c. Wilder is to
be adopted. This intelligent
gentleman who has always been
rather amusing in his role as a
political mountebank stated that
the loyalty or want of loyalty of
officials could be probed and
proven by watching their facial
expressions upon receipt of
news from Washington. 1t
is hardly credible that any
sane man seriously could
advance such a proposition,
but it is worthy of Wilder and
characteristic of the provisional
government. The arguments
presented in favor of theresolution
were all of the same caliber. Mr..
Young was afraid of the govern
ment clerks having dynamite in
their pockets ready to blow up
the Palace-and Mr.. Young. Mr..
Hatch was unusually muddled
in his expressions and the only
clear point that could be derived
from his labored speech was that
because some officials father or
grandfather, or uncle, or cousin
was of a certain political opinion
the son ETC., must necessarily
follow the same view. Mr..
Hatch must indeed be paragon
in the filial line of business.

The Franchise.

We are greatly surprised at the
absence in this discussion of all
allusion to the virtues of uni
versal suffrage. The Tribune
this morning has some mention
of certain free and intelligent
people in Hawaii, whom this
wicked administration is forcing
to submit to ga corrupt, idola-
trous, and barbarous despotism.'
But it does not say of what
this free and intelligent people
consists. 1t cannot be possible
that it consists of the 637 white
Americans resident in the capital
in a total registered vote OF
Is, 593,* and that the term ex-
cludes the bulk of the population
simply because they are native
born and coloIed. III this should
prove true, we should all die OF
shame. Where would it leave
the eolored citizens of the South
ern States, and the federal
election bill, and the wicked
Democrats, and the great work
of reconstruction" and the
Union League Club? What

ical Reform OF that institution

The result of the action yester-
day Will probably be the resigna-
ton of Minister Damon. If that
gentleman should insist in his
right to run his own Office and to
select the officials for whose con-
duet he is responsible and should
refuse to be dictated to by the
Macs and Tins who claiming to
be Americans run the government
he will undoubtedly be obliged
to resign and with him would
fall the bulwark of the provisi-
onal government. Nobody can
blame minister Damon for step
ping out. He has been treated
outrageously for the eminent
services which he has rendered
the revolutionists. He has pilot
ed the finances of the country
through all the breakers ahead,
and he is now told that he must
submit to the dictation of the
irresponsible crew bowling for
salaries and offices. If for the
sake of argument we presume
that the provisional government
could remain in Office for an
other month, we feel sure that
the community would be con-
WINGED that it will take a man of
Mr.. Damon's financial ability to
carry the government through.
After the salaries and running
expenses due on December
31st are paid and the interest
on the English loan
has been RENTED there will be
no money left in the treasury
when the 31st of January comes
and with it new demands for
salaries and other expenses. We
can indeed congratulate Mr..
Damon if he relieves his mind of
a heavy burden and his shoulders
of great responsibility and a
thankless task by resigning-but
we cannot congratulate the
country.
