good, solid Americans whose conduct was
ever ereditable and whose sunny nature
made him countless friends, went to his
reward when the immutable decree was

cally massive. mentally of great breadth
and depth. and with sympathies that over
flowed in response to every genuine appeal
and many appeals that were not genuine
he achieved popularity of the supreme type
and deserved 1t ALL AS a soldier and
statesman he rendered the country nota-
BILE service. Republican in every fiber, he
was patriotic before he was anything else;
democratic in the boundless sense he was
as peculiarly Of the people as was Abraham

political association he preserved his char
acter without stain and without losing a
friend whose friendship was worth having.

The little group of newspapers who de-
fend the Administrations Hawaiian policy
are talking about historical precedents that
are alleged to fit the present situation.
They refer to the enthusiasm of President
Taylor in quelling the Lopez effort to cap
ture Cuba and oust the Spanish power,
to give countenance to flibustering efforts
directed against the same island and COM
mend President Johnson's activity in the
suppression Of the Fenian raid on Canada.
Just how any of the cases quoted begin to
parallel the situation in Hawaii is not
explained. None Of the revolutionists who
sought to conquer Cuba or possess them
selves OF Canada had secured possession
nor was their government once recognized
by the United States; they were unsuccess-
ful adventures without a dollars worth Of
material interest In the dominions they
were after. In Hawaii the revolution was
the direct result Of savage disregard Of all
that was good and civilized and the revolu-
tionists were more deeply interested in the
welfare of the islands than was the disso-
lutte queen herself. The government or
ganized by the revolutionists was recog-
nized by every foreign power that had a
diplomatic representative at Honolulu and
to 1t President Cleveland sent two min
isters Of the United States who were either
friendly toward the provisional government
or disgracefully hypocritical II the admin
istration cannot find any better variety of
justification than its so-called friends have
produced in the shape Of these ''prece-
dents" 1t Is in a deep hole indeed.

There seems to be disposition on the
part Of the agitated and indignant public of
Washington to declare in advance of his
capture that there is no punishment in the
law adequate for the many crimes of the
mysterious 'Sla5her." This tendency to
sentence the criminal before he Is caught
and convicted shows perhaps the intense
feeling that has been wrought by his ma
raudings. There are so many theories as to
Just what Is or would be righteous in his
case that they would form an interesting
chapter all by themselves. 1t is sutti-
cient to say here that they range all the
way from imprisonment for ten years to
lynching. The latter idea is abhorrent. and
even though the law should lack Just that
peculiar degree of exquisite punishment.
which certainly these fiendish crimes de-
serve, 1t is not wise at such a time to en-
courage the thought that lynch law can
ever take root IN this community. Should

Blount Obeyed Orders.
From the New York Tribune.

Mr.. Blounts report shows that he did
precisely what he was sent to the islands
to do. He was commissioned to make out
a case against Minister Stevens and the pre-
vious administration, and he obeyed orders
He makes a really pitiful apology for not
presenting a stronger case by declaring
that he was surrounded by persons inter
ested in misleading him. The information
which he presents was obtained in large
part from people in close relations with the
queen, and is in direct contradiction of the
statements made by Minister Stevens, Capt.
Wiltse and numerous other trustworthy wit
nesses. As against these entirely credible
witnesses Blount's allegations are of little
Importance; but If all he says were true IL
would AFFORD no Justification whatever for
the use of the power of the United States
in re-enthroning the deposed and dissolute
