there Is, OF course, a sort OF traditional
awe OF royalty, and it is from this class
only, or chiefly, that the eS-queen gets
support in her aspirations TO recover
the throne. Among the educated and
property-ownin9 classes there is no re-
spect tor her pretensions.
"Of Course there has been much spec
uiation regarding the policy to be pre-.
scented by Minister Willis. Gresham's.
letter to the President, which has
stirred up so much talk in this country,
had not been published or heard OF
there, so that the Hawaiians are entire
" in the dark as to the policy OF the
Cleveland administration. From what
] learned think it would be impossible
for the queen, ii reinstated, TO retain
the throne. unless constantly backed
up by the power OF the United States
The feeling is very strong against a re-
turn to monarchy"

The passage in President Cleveland's
letter "Ho will constantly endeavor to

both governments, and 80 render him.
self acceptable to Your Excellencv," is
one which calls forth especial comment.
COUPLE OF FRIENDLY SPEECHES.
The dispatches from Honolulu state
that when Minister Willis presented
his credentials, November {, he said, in
part:
Mr.. PREsEDENT:-Mr. Blount, the late
envoy extraordinary OF the United
States to your government, having re-
signed his office, while absent from his
hie letter OF recall and to express for
him his sincere regret that he is unable
in person to make known his continued
good wishes on behalf oil your people
and his grateful appreciation OF the
many courtesies personal and official OF
which while here no was the honored
recipient. I now, upon behalf OF the
United States OF America, tender TO
your people the right hand OF good will
which trust may be as lasting, as
know to be sincere. expressing the hope
that every wear will promote and per.
petuate that good will to the honor, hap
piness and prosperity oil both govern
ments.
In the course Of q reply to this sd.
dress President Dole said:
Your assurances OF continued friend
ship Of your government for me- and
the Hawaiian people add to the gratif-
cation which long experience OF the
generous consideration OF the United
States for this country has fostered.
Permit me to assure you that we heart
lily recipTocate the expressions OF inter.
est and good will which you on behalf
of the American public have conveyed
to us. Aside from our geographical
proximity, and the consequent prepon-
derating commercial interests which
center here, the present advanced civ.
ilization and Christianizatioh OF your
people, together with your enlightened
codes oil Law, stand to-day, beneilcent
monuments OF American zeal, courage
and intelligence. II is not surprising
therefore that the United States were
the first to recognize the independence
of the Hawaiian Islands and to welcome
them into the great family Of the free,
equal and sovereign nations, nor is it
surprising that the historic tie has
been strengthened from year to year by
the important mutual reciprocities and
agreements alike honorable and advan-
taaeous to both governments. Partly
from proximity, partly from the lead
ing influence Of American citizens in
the work Of inaugurating Christian civ
ilization and industrial enterprise in
these islands, but still more from the
repeated acts Of friendly assistance we
have received from your government
during the past half century, we have
become accustomed toregard the United
States rs a friend and ally and have
learned 10 look 6rst TO her foT help 10
our emergencies.
