On Tuesday one of the carpenters who
is engaged repairing the houses missed
his saw while working on the back
street at house in which Hungarian
family resides. After making a thor
ough search for the missing article and
not finding it he concluded the woman
knew something about it. A policeman
came here yesterday and began to search
the house, but when he moved a bed in
which the saw was hidden. the woman
snatched it from its hiding place and
gave battle. She used the saw freely
and with some effect, but was finally
ovetpowered by the officer and two car
penters. She was taken to Freeland to

A. A. Mcleod, less than a year ago
regarded by thousands as the coming
railroad prince of the country, will at
the coming meetings of the Boston and

NE NEEDS EEEFI.NG.

Minister Willis has told the Hawaiian people
that he is going 10 do something at the proper
time" They being not intelligent. free moral
agents but weak and stupid children, he does
not say what it is that he will do. nor when
" the proper time" will come to do it, nor what
sort of n time it is that is proper 1t wouldn't
do at all to mention such tremendous Things
before people so feeble in intellect. But he was
willing they should know that he had settled
purpose i'm due course to be revealed, ana lest
they should take il into their dull heads to
have anything to say about 1t, he sternIy
warned them that it was mmutabl" Moth
ing can now be said or done here or elsewhere,
said Minister Willis in substance. Z" that Will
make any change in my mission. The American
policy is fixed. / am the executive officer TO
nut it into practice. When the time comes to
do it | shall not need your help nor heed your
resistance. Meanwhile, If either side here pre-
ciptates disorder, the American troops will in
stantly stop it"
Who was it that talked this way and to whom
was he talking? He was the representative or
a foreign Government, there on his good be-
hayior. and they were the citizens OF n sover-
eign Power They owed no allegiance to him
or the Government he represented. lie had no
authority over them or the Government they
lived under. Their offers to be taken under the
protection of his Government had been effect
uay declined, and those who made them had
been officially denounced as liars and usurpcrs
The last American Minister they had had TO do
with had been among them under explicit in.
strnctjOns not 10 NEEDLE with their domestic
concerns But this Minister declares that his
Government has decided. rot merely whether
IT will accept their sovereignty. but what other
disposition. they must make Of 1t, and that he
will nut that decision into effect when he gets
good and ready. and by the force Of American
arms. whatever they think or wish TO the con-
trary.
Minister Willis needs recfng. When he says
that the American policy toward Hawaii Is I'M
alterably fixed he talks drivel. When he says
that there is no power on earth 10 change the
purposcs Of Grover Clcvcgnd he talks treason
II this is the way he is going to represent the
American people in Hawaii he would better be
fetched home This high talk won't do The
American Nation is Minister Williss master
and his masters master. too And the Amer-
can Nation is becoming tired OF all this blow
and bombast, this pompous mystery and swollen
loneliness.
The American Nation is not raising thrones
either, and the man is not born who can force

barbarous Queen, arouscs the resentment OF

1T is IN ACT OF VAR.

No matter how the scheme to unseat the Gov
ernment of Hawaii and to create there another
Government may be expressed, the first act
that gives it meaning is an act OF war Mr..
Cleveland cannot lift his finger to njurc Presi-
dent Dole or to upraise the besotted and broken
throne Of Liuokalani without assuming powers
which the Constitution expressly forbade to the
President and reserved TO the people themselves
through their Congress. This is the highest
power Of the Nation, the very soul Of soycr-
eighty, and its usurpation by any man must be
resisted rcsolutely. If the American Minister ut
Honolulu contents himself with representing to
President Dole the view Of Mr.. Cleveland. he
and the authority he speaks for are within
their rights, and it will be for Mr. Dole to CON
slider whether he pleascs TO receive that sort Of
message or to send its bearer home But If Mr..
Willis goes one step further, if he does anything
that infcts blow upon the Government TO
which he is accredited, it is an act Of war, and
it will raise a question here that will eclipse
all others.
1t Is the worst Of this business that Mr.. Clcve.
land has precipitated upon the people a contro-
vcrsy so needless, so utterly without justilica-
ton or sense. The Hawaiian matter was not
his business, anyhow and In touching it at all
he violated one off the most necessary trad-
tons Of our governmental system-that an
act Of one Executive is binding on another and
should not be reversed. In reversing it, as he
did, he played havoc with commercial interests
and public rights which every one of his prede
cessOrs for seventy years had made it prime
duty to guard as OF the highest value But
even this has not satisfied him. TO withdraw
the treaty, TO prevent annexation, was not
enough. He must needs make the free.will
Offering Of the citizens Of Hawaii the excuse
to affront and then to crush them.
Every instinct Of honor, not to speak of
gratitude and sympathy, dcnounces the
Presidents policy as out of all harmony with
public sentiment. These men In Hawaii are
Americans blood OF our blood, bone of our
bone, flesh of our flesh. The work they have
pioneers for civilization and human progress.
The throne they tore down was fit for nothing
else, and the fact that 1t had TO come down mt
some time has been the condition Of its exist
ence for twenty years. Who has been hurt,
who robbed, by its destruction! Are we set
ting up for believers in the divine right Of
kings! What right had that woman in her
crown except such as the people chose to give
her? And what Is the test Of a popular act OF
revolution except its success and the orderly
process Of administration under the new condi-
tons 1t created?

THE PRESIDENT AND THE PEOPLE,.


1t is nearly ten months since President Cleve-
land gave birth to an Hawaiian policy, and the
country doesn't yet know precisely what man
ner of thing it is He has, to be sure. permitted
some Of its features to be seen and an exceed
ingly dsagreeable impression they have made;
but what sort of body they have nobody knows
though everybody cares. The great fact OF an
absorbing desire and an obvious right 10 KNOW
what the President means to do in the name OF
the people is the very fact which he chooses 10
treat contemptuousy Since there is no other
explanation Of his conduct, ii must be assumed
that Mr.. Cleveland totally msconceives the re-
lations existing between himself and the peo-
pie He must suppose that though they may be
intensely anxious for an unoOstructed view or
his policy respecting Hawaii. yet they have a
profound, universal and unshakable faith III MS
discernment, sagacity and wisdom, and are Will
ing to trust the whole affair TO him and wait
indei nitely.
II this Is his conviction, he is the victim Of a
deusion which only small group of llinaiics
share with him. A very large number OF his
fellow citizens have cheerfully given the Presl-
dent credit for good intentions, but ut the same
time they have recognized his rather unusual
capacity for making serious blunders and his
bad habit of violating troublesome pledges They
want to think as well Of him as possible but
they have never intended to commit their credit
to the unhampered control Of an ill-trained mind
and an obstinate temper. And now they are
certainly less inclined than ever before to give
Mr.. Cleveland blank check, for they see i'll
this Hawaiian business startling revelation
of his intellectual and moral deficiencies Even
the most watchful observers Of his erratic ten
denotes were totally unpreparcd for the fat
nous course which he has adopted.
The American people insist on knowing the
full extent of the engagements into which Pres
ident Cleveland is trying to force them. II is
their business. not his. which he Is managing
with every prospect Of humiliating them. They
do not even want to see him made ridiculous,
but they are determined not to suffer that fate
themselves.
