Right or wrong, Mr.. Cleveland has
shown either ignorance or courage Ill
his Hawaiian policy. We incline to

Those who advocate the absorption of
| Hawaii simply because this country has
| the power 10 perpetuate the act of grand
| larceny, will i'll time be ashamed of

bitter and strong the opposition that he
may encounter. No administration can
make mistake in doing right.-DetroiU

promptly stop it. Our only interest is
TO see that the islands remain free, i'll
dependent and orderly. AS to the form
ol government which they may adopt.
the inhabitants ought to be left TO settle
that for themselves. - Philadelphia
