The Hawaiian Affair.

Minister Willis had instructions when
leaving for Hawaii to restore Queen
Lilliuokalani by the use OF the naval
forces of the United States if necessary.
Queen Lilioukalani is already reseated
on the Hawaiian throne, according to
the authorities in Washington, who
will talk, and has regained the power
wrested from her by malcontents ten
months ago.
A Trustworthy official, who should
know, declares that if Minister Willis
and Admiral Irwin, who was sent out
to relieve Admiral Skerrett, arrived on
schedule time at Honolulu, the change
was affected four days ago. He SCOTS
at the amount of loud talk, and says:
"All this talk about armed resistance,
boodshed, etc. is well enough for the
war dogs aud rabid annexationists, but
is unnecessarily alarming. The revo-
luton which puts the Queen back
where she belongs will be as bloodless
and free from demonstration as that
which deposed her." He declares,
however, that nothing short of COM
plete revocation of every act of the last
administration and the complete resto-
ration of the Queen to the throne viii
satisfy the President. She will be re-
stored to the government building and
put in full control of all her previous
rights and privileges" he continues.
at is needless to discuss the use of
American marines for this purpose, for
they will not be needed.
The administration has full conf
dence in its ability to correct the grave
mistakes of its predecessor.
A more thorough knowledge of all
the circumstances, motives and pur-
poses that led to the overthrow of the
government Of Queen Liliuokslani, in
the Hawaiian Islands, will, it is said,
show ground for praise of the attitude
of the Cleveland administration toward
the islands. 1t is argued that the ques.
ton at issue in the Hawaiian embr0glio
is not whether the islands shall have a
monarchy or republic, but whether
the United States shall adhere to g car.
dinal doctrine of this country to abstain
from all interferences In the internal
affairs of other countries Officers of
the U. S. navy are strongly in favor OF
the annexation of Hawaii and are main
ly responsible for the sentiment in
Washington in that direction. The
Hawaiian natives are decreasing rapid
ly, there being in 1890 but 5000 on all
the islands, while in IT'S, when Cap
tain Cook discovered the islands, there
were at least 100000. The exact line
Of action to be pursued by President
Cleveland toward Hawaii has not been
made public and will be known only
after Minister Willis arrives at Homo
lulu.

VIRGINIA A BULWARK.-The State OF

it settled the Know Nothing craze
which swept over the country 40 Years

strengp mainly from the ), republican
party with sprinkling of dissatisfied
der .locrats, who coalesced with them IN
i &c hope of sharing the spoils to be
gathered by the defeat of the older par,
ties. The voting in the west shows that
the republican party has again swaI'
lowed up the greater number OF the
cranks who had temporily aban-
doned it. They naturally return to their
nursing mother. By the time the Con-
