,bo claim to be Democrats from
.oipIel. vet who will hurrah for
thing during a campaign, and
NJ ,o howl against that same thing
.a- the election. This was the
,Ai,;on of the Raleigh Democrats
hurrahed for Cleveland and
,ilservice Reform during the CAM
,,ign, vet when a dose of civil SER
,a ,.form was served out to them
=, ,be case of the Raleigh ,postoffice,
.,ov objected to it and whimpered
a yhined about it. They said
.,yr did not know that it meant for
.bs hest men to hold the offices, for
.bey wanted the little juicy places
hr their ward political henchmen
and beelpPs. The same thing is true
,foat the tariff. They all hurrahed
rith one unanimous wild chorus for
.r# reform while they were asking
n for votes, but now they opposed to
,,qH reform if it touches their in
5rstries. They want tariff reform
N IA, the other fellow Delegations of
/ Democrats from West Virginia, Vir-
mia Gporgia; Alabama, and from
other states are trying to convince
the. ways and means committee. that
n tbpg hnrrahed for tariff reform for
the heparty's sake, but did not mean
d Surh is one of the results of
snrinentaI. politics in the South.
] But thp funniest thing about this
matter, is. that papers that hurrahed
/ for free silver during the campaign,
but ttfrned gdfdbtgs as soon as the
election vas 0ver," are now twisting
/ thesn tariff men for not being willing
/ to stand by the platform. Such
heterogeneous party, with such
gIaring and revo't1ng inconsistencies
is bound to 60. to. pieces, as the
:haqkIes Of partisanship are loosened.
The & eat principles of the Peoples
movement are bound to win, .., ..a.
Mr. Thurston, the Minister from
the Hawaiian Islands, at Washing
ton, has pubifshef a REPLY to Com
missioner Blount's report of the Ha-
Waiian affair. He" charges Minister
Bount with 'misepresenting the
fac1s. He says Mr.'Blount evident
4 " went to-. the Islands not to find
the facts but to act as an attorney to
get up testimony to support q view
d the case which he had decided on
5efere goiHg:!' He proves that the
dtRens 0verthrew the monarchy and
that the US! troops under Minister
Stevens had nothing to do with it.
He says that the revolution com!
neHced on Saturday and; that MINI
1 Bter Stevens did not order the II. 5.
troops to land it'll Monday evening
a1d'ther gave them orders to simply
protect the lives and property OF
Amerrcan' citizens there. - '''' = ''E''
When We wrote our first article Oh
this Question We had read Only one
ade and were 'iaclihed to think that
President ) C1eteland's course was
light. For We then thought that the
Queen had been forced to 'abdicate
her thronel by force from our troops.
Il wrong 'agafhst the Queen had
5eeh' done The Caucasian thought
and said that it was the honorable
and mainly thing - for the United
States to undo the" wrong. A great
gOyernment like ours could less af-
ford to. take advantage of a weak enc,
than a streng .oae eyen,' But it now
seems that ne wrong has been 7o0ne;
but that a great wrong will be done
i President Cleveland perseveres in
bis declared policy to overthrow the
PeopIes government Of the Island
and restore, an unworthy Queen. '.'''"
