Islands. The debauched royal
family of Hawaii fell by its own
corruption. It's misrule had be-
come unsupportable to the intelli
gent and energetic elements who
have SO signally developed the
material wealth of Hawaii, and
who have given the islands what
ever civilization they possess. The
progress of Hawaii and the security
of the vast amounts of capital in
vested in the development of its
resources are at stake. To put the
former rulers of Hawaii back into
power would be to deliver the key
of the North Pacific over to anarchy.
The moral sense of the whole civil
lied world would condemn such an
attempt. The character of the
present Provisional Government of
Hawaii is indicated by its name.
1t is temporary in its nature, and
was only instituted to bridge over
the crisis until negotiations could
be completed for placing Hawaii
under a strong and civilized gov
eminent.
We must take Hawaii or let it
alone. If we take it we shall pro-
tect enormously valuable Ameri-
can commercial interests, provide
| a formidable strategic defense for
| our Pacific Coast and confer great
and lasting benefits on the Hawaii
ans themselves. If we do not take
it we must be prepared to see it
seized by Great Britain and made
into a powerful fortress that will
command our Western seaboard
| and bar the path of our Pacific
commerce.-[Tacoma Union Jour
nal.

SHALL WE RECEIVE
HAWAII?

The idea advanced by certain
newspapers that the United States
can refuse to grant the request OF
the educated and progressive por-
ton of the Hawaiian people for an
nexation, and at the same time
prevent the Hawaiians from put
ting themselves under the protec-
ton of any other civilized power, is
the essence of absurdity. A policy
so preposterous would be doomed
to failure from the start. 1t would
furnish signal example OF the be-
havior of the traditional dog in the
manger. 1t could not be main
tanned either in the domain OF
equity or of international law
against the protest of other ma
tions.
The aim of this country's ablest
statesmen has been to preserve the
neutrality of the Hawaiian Islands
until the time came when the best
elements among their people should
voluntarily seek union with the
American Republic. Secretary of
State James G.. Blaine concisely
stated the position of this Govern
ment when he declared in an Off
cial dispatch in 1881 that .'if for
any cause the maintenance of such
a position of neutrality should be
found by Hawaii to be in1practlc-
able, this Government would then
unhesitatingly meet the altered
situation by seeking an avowedly
American solution of the grave Is
sues presented" The time indi.
Gated by Mr.. Blaine has arrived
Neutrality and independence have
been ''found by Hawaii to be I'M
practicable" While Hawaii was
capable of self-government, the
United States was amply justified
in notifying the world that Ha.
waiian independence must be re-
spected. The United States does
not possess the right to refuse te
rescue the Hawaiians from misrule
and to demand that other civilized
nations shall refuse also.
Hawaii is an important station
on the high road of international
trade. The paramount interests o
civilization and commerce demand
that it shall possess a stable ant
orderly government, competent t.
protect the rights and property o
all persons who reside or who hav'
business interests in the Hawaiian
