THE HAWAIIAN HUMILIATION.

If Queen Liliuokalani is to be adjusted TO
mo- throne again, as the majority of her
former subjects-being of her own race
undoubtedly wish her to be. at least she
should be compelled to be -decent-Chicago
Record Qnd.)
There is a strong ground for believing
that the restoration of the monarchy will
prove the death blow to American interests
in the islands, and that perhaps the destruc-
ton OF those interests may be accompanied
by acts of violence, for which the Amo--
lean people will hold Cleveland responsible.
San Francisco Chronicle Rep.)
The President Of the United States, who
shows such disregard of American senti-
ment, such trucking to the ~riff-raff of the
: "divinely anointed," as he has just dis
played, will not be forgotten nor forgiven
as long as history continues to record John
A. Dix'S famous order: eff anyone hauls
down the American flag, shoot him on the
spot"ICincinnati Tribune Rep.)
This report is a humiliation to the Amer
lean people and a rebuke to those aspiring
residents of Hawaii who have done more
for the advancement of the Hawaiian
ever ruled there. If the President act on
this recommendation there will be fierce
and cruel war on the islands, and the Dem
ocratic administration will be responsible.
Chicago Inter Ocean Rep)
If the greatest of republics finds itself i'm
a position from which it cannot extricate
itself honorably without using it's power to
restore a puny barnacle of royalty to a
gimcrack throne, how infamous was the
conduct of the Republics representatives
who abused their prerogatives TO put it in
such a position, by entering into a plot
with rapacious aliens to overawe and rob
a weak people of their institutions and their
fatherlandl - Louisville Courier : Journal
Dem.)
The people will experience genuine sur
prise when they see that Secretary Gresh-
am, in his communication to the President,
recommends that the power of the United
States be used to restore what he calls the
Legitimate government" Of Hawaii-that is,
the rule of Queen LiliuOkalani. With the
questions of veracity involved in this con
tr0verSy we are not now concerned. What
Is certain is that there is no business in
which the United States would appear to
greater disadvantage than in using its bay
especially a throne of such a Queen as Lii
uokalani.-New York Tribune Rep)
Suffice it to say that it shows beyond all
doubt that the late United States minister
to Hawaii was a. party to a conspiracy
formed to seize the government of the ISL
ands by the direct aid of the armed force
of the United States; that the conspiracy
could not have succeeded without such aid;
that the State Department and the Presi-
dent of the late administration were be-
trayed into miSStatementS of all essential
facts in presenting to the Senate the an
neXation treaty withdrawn by Mr.. Cleve-
land before action had been taken on it.
and finally, that the recognition and re-
establishment of the constitutional govern
ment of Hawaii under its lawful head, the
Queen, is but repairing the outrage COM
mitted in the name and by the power of the
United States government. = New York
