To THE EDITOR OF The SUN-Sir: What
reason exists for any patriotic American news
paper to asperse the motives OF the people Of
Hawaii in getting rid OF the monarchy which
has long been an injury to the prosperity Of
those fairest islands OF tho Pacific? English
jealousy OF American influence may account
for the supercilious tone OF q few journals Of
that country. But English preiudices against
America are not shared ON the Continent.
The matter is one that mainly concerns tho
Hawaiian people. No doubt it will be for their
interest to do away forever with the old native
monarchy and seek alliance with the United
States. The Home Rule Administration OF
Mr.. Gladstone is obliged by English owners OF
Egyptian bonds to depart from its logical
policy OF non-interference in Egypt. No such
obligation warrants its Intervention In the
faclnc further than to see that the islands do
not Tall into hands Of those hostile to English
interests. No English administration least
OF all Mr.. Gladstone's. ran consistently assume
that this country Is to be regarded as q natural
enemy of England. The policy OF English
non-interference with the affairs OF other
nations is distinctly liberal. That tho treat
ment OF Egypt is against this policy Is due to
exceptional circumstances that confirm the
general rule.
