ST. Paul Pioneer Press Rep.
1.-THE facts are as stated by Secretary Gresh-
am, it would appear that great wrong has
already been done to this feeble state by per-
hitting the armed forces and authority of the
United States 10 be invoked in support of a
usurping government. and that the best atone
ment that can now be made is to reestablish
the independence of the islands and the
| chosen government of their people.
Chicago Herald, Dem.
President Cleveland is not setting up mon
archy; he is undoing a political crime, and it
is not our business to inquire whether the VIC
tim of that crime was a sovereignty of one
kind or of another kind, so long as it was le-
climate and friendly.
Kansas City Times, Dem.
The American people are too Just and are
too fond of fair play 10 permit weak, but in
dependent, state to be destroyed and its terri
tory to be confscated through force supplied
American agents.
Omaha Bee, Rep
1t is said that it will be impossible to re-
store the monarchy without bloodshed, but
this is not matter for the United States
government TO consider in deciding what JUS
tice requires of it. That can be left wholly
to the determination of the Hawaiian people
themselves
Milwaukee Journal, Dem.
If the statement Of facts made by the report
of the United States commissioner is correct,
the provisional government must be aban-
doned and the Hawaiian people be allowed
to resume the management OF their own affairs.
Chicago Times Dem.
A crime against the native population of
Hawaii was in contemplation by a conscience.
less group of conspirators who desired to run
the Islands in the interests of themselves.
The conservatism and good sense of the
Cleveland administration have put an end TO
the jobbery.
Pittsburgh Post, Dem.
There can be no doubt what the judgment
of the country will be on the scandalous and
humiliating meddling and muddlng of the
Harrison administration, as exposed in diplo-
matte and official phrase in Secretary Gresh-
ANS letter to the President.
New Haven Register, Dem.
This government would not be justified in
taking any steps toward the restoration of
the Queen if it were not responsible for her
overthrow. The government, however, ac-
knowledges that it is responsible, and having
once made that acknowledgment, it is in
honor bound to adopt and enforce the policy
laid down by Secretary Gresham. There is
no Jingoism in this policy, but it is honest,
Christian craftsmanship.
Rochester Herald, Dem.
We feel certain that the masses of the peo-
pie, who care nothing for Hawaii but are
sensitive for the honor of the United States
Government, are willing to intrust the mat
ter for solution to the good sense and intelli-
gent patriotism of President Cleveland.
Memphis Commercial Dem.
The only question with respect to which we
are interested in this matter is to restore the
status that was disturbed by the officious
inter-medding of our minister and the scan
dalous use of our naval forces to submit the
existing government for the sake of few
alien conspirators.
Macon Telegraph, Dem.
Mr. Stevens's course was in the highest de-
gree reprehensible, and the duty rests upon
our government of undoing its effects as far
as possible.
Syracuse News, Dem.
1t is evident that Mr.. Stevens employed the
authority and naval force of the United States
to overthrow the Hawaiian Government. If
this is not un American, what is it?
