Hawaii holomua = Progress., 1894-02-19
AS EXPECTED.
President Cleveland's Poll
cy Uphold.

The passing of the McCreary
resolution in the House of Re
representatives. was Of course
expected but the large majority
(102) which the Administration
side gained was hardly anticipat-
ed. President Cleyelsnd now
stands endorsed in his Hawaiian
polit cs by the chosen representa-
tiyes of tie American people.
Tie defeat OF the annexationists
and the Provisional Government
is significant. Mr.. Dole,
Stevens, and their co-conspira
tors have been plainly told that
the sense of justice among the
American people would not
tolerate the outrage committed in
the name Of, and by the aid of,
the greatest republic in the
world. The path of President
Cleveland in the Hawaiian mat
ter has been made easy low. He
will undo the wrong committed
by Stevens and preserving the in
dependence of the Hawaiian
Kingdom restore the affairs here
to the status previous to the revo
luton and the temporary over
throw of the lawful ruler Queen
Liliuokalani. Mr.. McCreary' S
resolution reads as follows.
ResoIred; First. That it is the
sense of this House that the
action of the United States minis
ter in employing United States
naval forces and illegally aiding
in overthrowing the constitutional
Government of the Hawaiian Is
lands in January 1893, and in
setting up in its place a provi-
sional government, not republi.
can in form and in opposition to
the will of majority of the
people was contrary to the
traditions OF our Republic
and the spirit of our Constitution
and should be and is condemned.
Second. That we heartily ap-
prove the principle announced by
the President of the United States;
that interference with the domes-
tic affairs of an independent ma
ton is contrary to the spirit of
American institutions. And it is
further the sense of this House
that the annexation of the Ha-
waiian Islands to our country or
the assumption of a protectorate
over them by our government
is uncalled for, and inexpedient
that the people of that country
should have absolute freedom and
Independence in pursuing their
own line of policy, and that for
eign Intervention in the political
affairs of the islands will not be
regarded with indifference by the
government of the United States. ="
In presenting the above reso-
luton Mr.. McCreary censured
President Harrison for his
indecent haste in drawing up &
treaty of annexation with Hawaii
and submitting it to the Senate
before the people of Hawaii had
been heard. He severely criti-
cised the American representa-
tive in Honolulu, and the United
States naval commander for their
action at the time Of the So
called revolution. which he said
was without parallel in diploma
tic history. He criticised the
foreign policy of the Harrison
administration in three cases
the case of Samoa. the case of
Chill, and the case of Hawaii.
And be asked whether anyone
would claim that, with all the
proof that had been laid before
President Harrison and the
secretary of state, it was an
exhibition of wisdom on the part
of President Harrison to send
the Senate a treaty of annexation
Congress to give sway
Sc. $50 900 in order to get those
little islands and ask Congress
to recognize what was done by
few American citizens down
there. He (McCreary) asserted
