Kind enough 10 answer the following questions!
Did not Paramount Bount, soon after his arrival At
Honolulu Issue an order to Admiral OF the Gated
states navy directing him to haul down the Amer.
can flag that was wAvins over the city,
Did 1t not require the sanction Of Congress, for the
virtue OF which b, could rshtruliy issue orders to
Admiral Of the United states n.vyf CSC
NV YoRK. Jan II.
The President had the right and power to
order the hauling down OF the Am erican flag
raised In Hawaii by Minister Stevens. His
order TO that effect issued directly TO the COM
handing ofllcer o. the navy. or to that officer
through the regularly accredited diplomatic
representative OF the United States In Hawaii
would have been unquestionably within Mr..
Cleveland's constitutional authority.
Paramount Blount had no moro constitu-
tional authority to order an Admiral OF the
navy to do this thing or that thing than any
other private citizen OF the United States who
might have happen ed then to be at Hon olulu.
President Cleveland had no constitutional
power to invest Mr.. Blount with authority TO
direct the operations Of the naval force OF the
United States In any particular without tho
advice and consent OF the Senate. In other
words. the only constitutional method OF con-
ferring such paramountcy upon Mr.. Blount
was to nominate him for United States Minis
ter in place Of Stevens. and to have him con-
irmed by the Senate and eeularly accredited.

The popularity OF Hungarian wines in
the American market would be promoted by
the enforcement OF the terms OF a circular
that has been corrugated at Budapest by
the Minister OF Commerce. Under this docu-
ment the hungarian wine II akers are permit
ted to improve tho quality OF the grape Juice
by the addition OF brandy and certain harm
less chemicals. but are prohibited from mix in q
with 1t aniao colors. salicyllc acid. ethereal
oils. glycerine. saccharine substances. vinous
extracts, or water, and they are also prohibit
ed from putting false labels upon the bottles
The readers OF the circular OF Minister bella
IuKACs will perceive that no has a thorough
knowledge OF the arts that are practised by
some OF the Hungarian wine makers. especial.
ly by those that furnish supplies to the forelg n
markets. For years past, We believe. the
American consumers OF Hungarian wines
have complained Of their badness; and now
that they possess Official Information OF the
offensive things that have been put into them.
they will know that their complaints were
fully justified For the sake OF these con-
sumers. the Hungarian Minister ought to see
to 1t that the prohibitory clauses ofhis circular
are enforced. We do not doubt that there are
some wholesome Hungarian wines in the New
York market.

XIII the Two Birds With One stone

Prot. WILSON is putting through the House
| of Representatives various amendments to
| his prepostcrous tariff. None OF them is for
| revenue only. in accordance with the pledge
| and command OF the Democratic party.
They are rather for the purpose OF still
| further reducing revenue and still more
increasing the deficiency his treacherous
bill was framed to create.
They thus make clearer the way for the
passage OF the supplement- airy and sociaIistic
income tax bill agreed upon by the WAYS
and Means Committee. and for other and
only less odious forms OF internal taxa
ton. all defiant OF Democratic pledge
and principle. The plan OF Prof. WILSON
is to bully and rush through the
House before the end OF this month a
tariff bill which creates a deficiency Of
something like s7j,OoO,OOo. and thus to COM
pei the Democratic Representatives there
after to levy onerOus. obstructive. and I'M
equal internal taxes In order TO supply the
deficiency and save the Government from
bankruptcy. He wants to dragon them
into the very class legislation against which
the people who elected them uttered so
mighty protest only about year ago!
II the Democratic majority in the House
OF Representatives obeys that popular
mandate. il it wishes to save itself from
extinction. it will vote to strike out the
enacting clause OF the unconstitutional and
treacherous WILSON bill gu the 18th OF this
month. or TO recommit tho measure TO the
Ways and Means Committee. with iustruc-
lions to prepare forthwith the simple and
constitutional tariff for revenue only to
which the Democratic party Is solemnly
pledged. Having done that the odious sup
Elementary bill for an income tax will be
unnecessary.

IL Can't be Dropped.

Mr.. CHILDs's estimable paper the Public
Ledger urges that the whole" Hawaiian
mater should be dropped where 1t is
Undoubtedly Mr.. CLEVELAND desires that
his Infamous policy should drop from the
memory Of the people. and II tho Demo-
cratic party could cause IL to be forgotten
by simply ignoring 1t. Democrats every
where would be relieved from cause Of
shame and modification. There is no Demo-
crat and there is no American who does not
wish that that foul page In our history
might DO blotted out. as II the Hawaiian
intamy had never occurred.
Unhappily. 1t cannot be blotted out. The
record must forever remain In the archives
and publications OF the State Department
and the Executive Department. Neither
can 1t DO erased from the indignant memory
OF the American people. Tho shame must
remain. and any attempt OF the Democratic
party TO ignore 1t by dropping IL where 1t
Is" will only serve to transfer to the
Democracy tho everlasting odlum for
which an un-Democratic President Is
now solely responsible. No man 1T to wear
the name Of a Democrat could have con-
ceived and enforced that Infamous policy.

not been sedulously and perfidiousy con-

order that the conspiracy might not DO

why Wa. Despatch No. 8 Suppressed

When the time comes for the Senate sub
committee. Of which Senator MORGAN is
the Chairman, TO determine whether Mr.
CLEyELASD's conduct in the Hawaiian
business ought not TO be made the subject
OF protest and Teprobation on the part OF
the Federal legislature. great stress will
naturally he laid on the suppression Of
despatch No. 8. which revealed the blood
thirsty purpose OF the cx-Qaeen LILIUoKA-
LAM in case she should regain the throne,
20 put to death the authors and abettOrs Of
the present Hawaiian Government. The
despatch was Indispensable TO the forma-
ton of a correct conception Of the woman
whose fate the President pretended to
Telegats to Congress, and therefore the
question must be answered: What was the
Presidents motive for Withholding IL? It
will be found impossible to suggest an
honest motive for the act.
The despatch No 8 had been for some
time In the hands OF Mr.. CLEVELAND and Of
his Secretary OF State, when they prepared
the instructions dated Dec. 8. in pursuance
of which. on Dec. 10. Minister WILLIS de-
manded the surrender Of the de- tdctO Ha-
waiian Government. which the United
States and other powers had recognized.
Two things were made unmistRkable by
the despatch in question. First. that the
woman whom MIR. CLEVELAND had resolved
10 restore, In violation not only OF interna-
uonal law but Of the American COnstitu-
ton. Was a creature Of savage aud vindic-
tive passions, who thirsted for the blood Of
her opponents, and who. even il self-lnter-
est should eventually eXtort from her
promise Of amnesty. could not be trusted
10 keep IL when her enemies we're left de-
feneeless. Secondly. that such promise,
even II ultimately obtained. would not be
worth the breath spent In making il, being
entirely invalid under the Hawaiian Con-
stitutiun. which prescribes the method Of
exercising the pRrdOniug power. When,
therefore, by his instructions Of Dec. 3. Mr..
CLEVELAND authorized Minister WILLIS.
provided he could elicit from the ex Queen
= promise OF amnesty. 20 demand the sur
