Comments of Prominent Journals on the
 Documens

Document The presidents me ssage will impress neither congr ess nor the people favorably The pres ident has not populariZed his policy nor re- moved any objections to his course He still fails to demonstrate that he is moved by pa triotic influences or guided by a knowledge of the principles of American statecraft-N. Y. Advertiser '~
 It is almost impossible to read 1t with pa tencA It is the argument not of statesman, but Of Q bafied, soured, disappointed man who has ignobly failed fin carrying out in the secrecy Of an abhorrent darkness policy that he fool ishly believed would have commended itself to American popular approvalN. Y. Recorder.
 T, No man in his senses can fancy that congress VIII consent to declare war on the existing government of Hawaii In order to carry out the presidents policy of justice" and restore the dethroned queen and without the employment or overwhelming force her res toration is impos- sible. The sole fruit, therefore. of the Blount embassy and its upshot is gall and humiliation. -Boston Traveller.
 MT. Cleveland's Hawaiian message is an elab. crate defense of what, by the very process of defending tt he admits to be a failure Above and beyond everything else in the message is
 MT. Cleyeland's characteristic representation or himself as substantially the only person charged with responsibility for the conduct of | puoilC huAlrS WnO IS 0Dle 70 entertain nlgl views Of things.-N. Y. Tribune.
 It will be received with delight by every mon- archst throughout the world and with shame and indignation by the American people It is the most disgraceful document that has eman. ated from an American chief magistrate. It contains deliberate and transparent falsific ton Of facts displays lamentable ignorance of international law and as special plea for an utterly discredited cause it is unworthy of a 'ourth-rate attorney.-N. Y. Press
 Probably the most notable feature Of Presi- lent Cl evelands long and rather ill-tempered message is its total lack of reference to the | conditions which exist at Honolulu at present | The queen failing 10 accept the plan of proce- lure laid down by President Cleveland our gov. 9rnment is put in the ridiculous position Of un-
 1ertaking the impossible There is no doubt that the provisional government will live. Den.

 The message of the president upon the Ha- | "aiian situation Is not worth reading so far as | my new facts go He has made the mist ake of | accepting us true and repeating the charges

 | The special message of President Cleveland | m the Hawaiian matter may be described as ! m elaborate and uncandid attempt to discredit l ! republic and vindicate the monarchy which 1t 1 uperseded The story Of his interference Tn | he case, even as told by himself, is one tha

 ustice and honor bound to put the queen back l 'n her throne; but he is much mistaken if he | imposes that public sentiment can be brought

 The very first paragraph of the Hawaiian | nessage shows the presidents inherent and in | ixttngu ishable contempt for the authority Of l congress-. He prefaces his message not with | D straightforward statement that 1t is submit | ed in consequence Of and in obedience to the
 command of the federal legislature but with | he sneaking pretense that this message orig
 mates solely in his own volition. The main | point to be noted is the presidents careful avoidance of any intelligible explanation of the
 methods by which he originally intended to ac. | 'Omplish the restoration of monarchy in the | stands at the time when he hoped to put i LnuOkalani back upon her throne before con. yress or the country should know his plans
