What win They Saw Nextp

Those papers that assumed that the ad-
ministration sent Minister Willis to
Honolulu to overthrow the provisional
government and sustain the monarchy,
and in hot haste declared that such a
policy was infamous and was the result
of desire to undo, in HAVE iian matters.
what the Harrison administration had
done were much surprised to learn that
Minister Willis had presented his creden-
tials to the President of the provisional
government and that he had been courte-
ously received. They couldn't under
stand it, and so they said that Minister
Willis found out that President Dole had
a little army that would resist any inter
ference with his government, and there
fore it was deemed unwise to carry out
the programme which President Cleveland
and Secretary of State Gresham had de-
cided upon. These lingo papers We're
compelled to take that position, because
no other was open to them. They had
been attacking the administration with
out knowing what the administration
policy was, and to save themselves from
| appearing ridiculous they declared that
the administration had not dared to carry
out its policy.
AT no time have they known anythingof
the purpose of the administration, and
they are as much in the dark in respect
to it as they were when Secretary
| Gresham gave the public statement of
how the provisional government came to
| be established.
The New York Tribune begins to real
ize that it and the other anti-admnis-
| tration papers have been making them
selves ridiculous by venomously attacking
the administration for what it supposed
was the policy it had adopted in respect
to Hawaii, and it now says that the
/ president is treating the American PEG
/ pie with gross contempt, because he re
fuses to declare what his Hawaiian
/ policy is That paper takes the public
into its confidence and announces that
the president has abused his discretion
| by exciting the public curiosity relative
to his plans in Hawaii and then refusing
to tell them all he knows.
1t is not probable that the President
will inform the Tribune and other papers
that have abused him so outrageously
without knowing what they Were talking
about, what course he had decided
upon. They can go on asserting
that this or that policy has
been adopted by him, and attack
ing that policy, but he will hold his peace
until he considers the time has come for
telling the people what he has done, ana
what he proposes doing.
1t can be said with great degree of
certainty that he isn't going to do anything
that will reject unfavorably upon this
country, or that can be construed to be a
purpose to throw discredit upon the Har-
risOn administration. If he decides to
undo anything the Harrison administra-
ton did, it will be because he is satisfied
that a wrong was done that should be
righted. In the meantime, before criti-
cising the administration further, it
would be well to wait until it is found out
what it is the administration has decided
to do
We can sympathize with the people of
the stOrm-swept coasts Of England and
Scotland. At the same time we are pro
foundry grateful that the storm did not
visit our own coasts, which have not vet
recovered from the hurricanes Of August.
September and October.
