attention of scientists for some
years past, is one of great impor-
lance. Colonel Glider who will try
to solve it, is in the prime of life
and certainly in physical condition
to face any hardship. He has
made several other hazardous Jour
neys. He was with Schwatka, in
1873, 20 and 80 in search of the
lost records of the Franklin expe-
dition. His second trip was made
on the United States relief expedi-
ton on the steamer Rogers. The
Rogers was burned and the COM
pany reduced to the utmost ex-
tremities. Glider then crossed ST.
IBERIA alone to get relief. This was
an unparalleled feat which fixed
his fame forever.

The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1893-11-10

The announcement that this govern
ment viii Withdraw its support from
the provisional government Of Hawaii
shows that there has been an accession
of good sense and information at the
state department.
The whole scheme to annex the islands
was exceedingly ill-advised, and would
never have been entered into by Presi-
dent Harrison's government had more
time been taken for reflection and es-
animation.
We have all the territory we can
develope for many generations. We
have all the trying problems on hand
our statesmen can deal with. We have
the Democratic party. We have no
earthly use for Hawaii. 1t has no
future. 1t is on the down grade, and
will never be able to pay its way as a
civilized state.
The decision to let 1t alone is wise and
proper. II is the only thing to do. Mr..
Clevelands helpers have done well to
convince him that the thing to do is to
do nothing.
