THE WITHDRAWN TREATY.

LIZ through the negligence or hesitancy
OF the present administration the Hawaiian
Islands fall into the hands of some foreign
power the American people never will for
give the guilty party.-Chicago Tribune.
ENGLAND is eagerly waiting the oppor-
tunity to gobble up the Hawaiian Islands.
and the un-American statesmen now in
at Washington seem bent upon
creating such an opportunity for her. New
York Press.
In withdrawing this treaty Mt. Cleve-
land assumes q grave responsibility. We
shall hope that his consideration of the
case will result in it's return. or In the sub
stitution of another treaty equivalent In
etfect-New York Tribune.
In Withdrawing the Hawaiian treaty
from the Senate the President does wisely.
The treaty itself is a crude. hastily con-
trived affair, that Is by no means adequate
even If there were no objection to the pur.
pose of it.-New York World.
THE Americans at Honolulu have always
ruled. They will continue TO rule. The
only question is whether they will do tins
with American aid from Marcy TO Blaine
or whether, our aid being Withdrawn, they
will turn elsewhere. -Philadelphia Press.
WHATEVER way be the PRESIDENT may
decide. be can hardly fail to obey the I'M
perative demand for American supremacy
in the archipelago. Whether through a
prOtectorate, or. If necessary, through
annexation. that principle must be pre-
served.-Chicago News.
THE initial act of the Presidentis just such
as it should be. Now let the little princess be
sent back to her studies. Let Claus
Spreckles's h%irelings be sent back to their
venal employments.. Let O commission of
good men be sent to look over the field and
report the facts. Louisville Courier
journal.
TIE senate evidently felt tina the nego-
t~iations had been too preoIpitate and with
ont sufficient information, and that
whether the treaty was TO be confirmed or
not. the President and Secretary who would
be charged with it's execution should at
least be consulted as to its form. -Philadel-
phia Times.
THE people will approve the action of
the President in withdrawing the treaty
Their approval will be the more general if,
before taking MP tho subject again, the
President shall send to Hawai- disinter-
ested and con- petent men 10 ascertain the
true state OF facts. in order that Justice
and only justice shall be done.-Chicago
Herald.
A HEAVY accountability would rest at
the door of the administration if, either by
what it may do or may fail to do. an op-
p%ortunity should be given for the triumph
of foreign intrigues and the injury OF
American interests. We shall not believe
the administration capable of ~surrendering
our position of advantage lin the islands
without clear p~roof-Boston Journal.
THERE is no apparent reason for haste
arising from the possible intervention Of
other governments, and. as Presidents
Cleveland and his party are to bear the re-
sponsibility of whatever Is done with re-
gard to HAWAII. it Is but simple justice
that his Secretary of State. his Cabinet
and the Democratic Senate should have the
opportunity to make an examination Of
the entire matter. and then to formulate q
pollcY.-Clucinnati Trlbune.
