Its salient features are elaborate
evasion and artful apology. The
democratic press is driven to a
reluctant Endorsement of his stti-
tude, but between the lines one
can read distrust. In its columns
the message is pronounced able
and satisfactory through the same
disingenuousness that prevails in
the sick chamber and assures the
dying patient he is rapidly getting
better. Mr.. Cleveland argues
that the revolution WAS instiga-
ted by our official representatives
at Honolulu, and maintains that
without such support it would
have been impossible for it to sue
coed. He admits it was his in
tention to re-establish monarchy
IN Hawaii. Independently of the
will O. Congress, and that the
scheme failed only because the
conditions were not satisfactory to
the Queen, He grows almost pa
thetic in his plea for the restora-
ton of Liliuokalani to the throne,
posing as the impassioned advo-
cate rather than as the level head
ed statesman. He says he is will
ling to cooperate with Congress
in settling the difficulty, but this
can only be understood as a pre-
liminary to the REVIVAL of the mon
