Some Democrat person Of excessive sar-
casm ought to move that do erect
President Cleveland a monument Whitney
and Lamont and Jackal Benedict are at
tending to the erection OF q bank account
in his favor; the rest OF us should busy
ourselves pointing some pure Parian col
umn heavenward TO express orr apprecia-
ton of mill<-white merit and towering
worth.
To-day the Republicans were chasing our
party in Senate and House. And the De-
mocracy was on the feeble defensive. Not
for anything it ever did or thought of
doing, but because of the scintilIant
Hawaiian policy of our dictator There
are several matters the Democracy in Con-
gress should be taught. Mr.. Cleveland is
not the Democrat party, never was and
never will be. He is no more the Demo-
crat party than the yellow dog tied under
tho wagon, bowling and holding back. is
the team and wagon. His Sandwich Island
plottings to pull down a republic and re-
build a throne, and then place thereon a
queen whose morals are black as her
complexion are all his own. They are emf
nently not the Democrat partys. And the
sooner Democrats in Senate and House
disavow them and cease screening them
the better for the public and the party, too
alone. He had his piracy all arranged be-
fore. Congress adjourned from the extra
session. He said never word. He asked
no Democrat advice He had sent on that
remarkable person, Paramount Blount and
had received his equally remarks BILE report
lie had framed his whole policy-if any
named a polcy-and had dispatched his
minister and his gunboatS to execute that
P%ithn tb Fo frdn mrs. 30 of Ss plainly
mitted nothing To Congress; neither for its
advice nor approval.
Mr.. Cleveland has made his bed: let him
lie therein. He has sown the wind: let him
reap unaided and undefended the whirlwind
which is his due. Congress and his party
men IN Congress owe him nothing but their
memory OF the insults he has made them
bear and the wrongs he has wrought
against them. The Democracy in Congress,
seize a rude smile from the transmississip-
pi. is neither fit to drink with niger nor
eat with a dog Why; then a. should it put
flames to defend him from the retribution
which now raps at the door of his folly?
Let his sins burn him; they don't belong to
the Democracy.
Frye of Maine. came after President
Cleveland in the Senate. He made a sue
cess because the facts make a success. The
history of this attempt to put monarchy on
its feet in Honolulu cannot be fortressed
against attack. Vest rose TO reply, and
before he was i'm his seat again-Where he
had better remained in the first place-he
and Hoar and Frye were all on the same
side. over In the House a policy of sup
preston was adopted. and McCreary. of
kentucky. stopped everybody's mouth with
the previous question on the adoption of
the Hit resolution. AS matters now stand
stand both Senate and House are asking for
the entire Sandwich Island correspondence
together with a full explanation from Mr..
Cleveland as to his devious stewardship in
this behalf.
1t is not to his credit that these are not
already before them. His delay and div
daily fool nobody. Will be long per-
sisted In without bringing further n ril
The sooner he gets the whole affair into the
hands OF Congress the wiser and better he
will perform for his own, peace and his
own security. and the sooner the Democ-
racy I'm Congress washes its party hands
OF the whole miserable bundle OF blunder-
Ing crime and fastens the responsibility
TO the Cleveland coat tails, where IL be-
longs. the better and wiser II will perform.
