1lp New York 1j5iuHr will say.
President Cleveland alone is response
Dip for the tumult, chagrin and disap-
pulujm.ul which now prevail in Ha-
wiii. and for the humiliation which
rEHtmiulel Americans feel as they cen
template the consequences Of his policy
iIg has committed "a series Of colossal
hIundcr-. Ee has transcribed his consti-
tuuouuI authority. he has rejected an
unparalleled opportunity, he has af-
iruutgl Congress and the whole people
Oy wrapping his proceedings in mystery;
bee has deiicd public sentiment. and
finally Doe has brought about state of
affairs Iu Hawaii so critical that armed
resistance or protection of another
nation may Boo the only recourse OF the
fri u1lg power whose interest he has
betrayed with ours That the Ameri-
can people, through their representa-
tiyes n Congress. will pardon this policy
or neglect tn redress SO far as possible
the wrongs inflicted on Hawaii and re-
cover ;hoir own standing is not be-
llevel
The New York Press will say,
Ina reluctant obedience to the popular
voice the President has apparently re-
coiled from his purpose to destroy the
Provisional Government. But even if
Cleveland has backed down, if he has
decided not to assault by force the
liberties of the Hawaiians. there is no
reason why he should not be held com
plctely responsible for what orders he
has given and whatsoever Of wrong he
proposed to cuusummate. His delay in
answe ing the Senate's call for Willis
instructions indicates that there is some
thing to conceal and that the papers
when presented will comprehend the
more important directions given to the
American Minister.
1t is not imp. obable that Cleveland
has been delaying the papers in the hope
that the Queen had been restored and
that Congress would not care to inter-
lure with the fact accomplished. But
whatever his motives, II is obvious that
the President has shown a contempt for
Compress nod for the American people.
. His present hesitation only emphasizes
The duty of Congress to get all the truth.
/ The American people must have the
ruth, and the whole TRUTH about this
/ Infamous conspiracy against the life of
. a friendly Government.
The New York Recorder will say
" Now that the white Hawaiians have
determined they will not submit to the
restoration of dusky Queen Lii, except
after they have made an unsuccessful
/ armed defense of President Dole's Gov
eminent. II Is more than ever urgent
/ that Congress should call Mr.. Cleveland
/ Off II a single American gun is fired,
/ or even pointed to assist in destroyinH
I the Republican form of government set
/ up 10y the enlightened and progressive
white people of Hawaii, and remanding
[ them to royal rule, this nation will be
/ terribly sCandalized. 1t must not be-
/ Congress must call Mr.. Cleveland off
I with emphasis which he cannot fail to
understand.
! The New York sun says;
/ News from Hawaii is inspiriting.
/ There is the sound ring of the spirit of
| '16 in the declaration Of the men of the
| revolution of 03. The fire of freedom
| has got into the blood of all. Even Chief
! Justice Judd is ready to trail a rifle in
/ defense of freedom. These men say they
/ will not submit, aud they look as if they
meant it. Even the eX.queen seems to
realize that much, in spite of her syco-
/ plants and false hopes. Fortifications
are going up. The Provisional Govern
meut has got the guns and the deter
mined men to use them. Their spirit is
. American, and every true American will
pray that their success will be American,
too.
The New York Commercial Adper-
tiNcr says:
The latest advices from Honolulu
should have the effect TO open the eyes
of President Cleveland TO the magnitude
Of the blunder he has made in the Ha-
waiian matter American people have
never been engaged in throne building
business and never will begin it now.
The President assorted assumption in
this matter have been much to violent
and he must back down from them.
