my measure that will lead TO all
iexation or protection, and suggest /
ng the propriety of restoring the
temporarily. In this
ray he may have chosen to refer
he whole matter to the Senate for
heir consideration, together with
Mr.. Blounts report. This course
has Teen expected BY tie press and pub
he generally, and aoW nndonbtedly be
1d0Pted BY him."
If it is fair question-What of
late has come over the spirit Of the
Ad0erhSer'S dreams a week ago
our ancient neighbor was shutting
about trying to sow the seeds of
compromise i'll loyal soil. These
failing Of Judgment, it then began
to throw out casual handfuls of dis
enlargement such as its extra of
recent date announcing that "Presi-
dent Cleveland Proposes to Restore
the Monarchy" And now it says
of the Australian report that the
President will recommend Congress
to put Mrs. Dominis OH the throne
she has repeatedly disgraced;
This course will I'M
doubtedly be adopted by him"
Have you seen the Ad5erhser ?'
said Royalist this morning. ITS
getting ready to flop"
While the STAR is not so in the
habit of crediting Monarchist
theories as to believe that the bust
ness interests of the morning paper
would permit complete betrayal OF
its cause it must warn the Ad5ertSer
that in times like these the appear
ance of evil is thing to be avoided
quite as much as the evil itself. The
mind of the Annexation party is
sensitive and it will not tolerate
any Weakened leadership, either
in politics or journalism. That
reform statesman or editor is doomed
who now raises the white flag even
in ceremony.
AS to the deduction of the morn
ing print that Mr.. Blount has advised
and Mr. Cleveland concluded to
restore the ex-Queen with the con-
sent of Congress, let us say that
there is nothing to bear it out but
Royalist gossip, which no careful
paper ought to receive at par. Mr..
Cleveland, whatever may be thought
of his annexation views, has given
no sign of purpose to go into the
Monarchist line of politics. In.
deed, in the case of Brazil, he is
reported Cat PeiXotto's request)
to have warned the Monarchist con-
spirators off. So far as Hawaii is
concerned, statesmen who share
Cleveland's councils have told our
diplomatic corps that the restoration
of Mrs. Dominis at the hands OF
the great republic is "unthinkable. y
So clear is that fact that even the
New York Herald, violent Mon
archist organ as it is, has lately
been forced to admit that Mr..
Blount had not advised the Presi-
dent to put the Queen" in power
again, and that President Cleveland
would not do such thing if he had.
Aside from all this, it is remem-
bered locally that Mr.. Blount ex-
pressed his amazement to Chic
Justice Judd that any reasonable
man could expect the Washington
Government to join hands with the
discarded Hawaiian royalty. The
knowledge is also abroad that Mr.
Blount became so solicitous fol
the future of white Govern
ment here that he advised the
Ministry to amend the proposed
army bill, SO that all Hawaiian.
would not be enrolled for militia
service. 1T will not do" he said
"to accustom the natives to tn,
use of arms" Accordingly, the
terms of the bill were changed.
