in association with that body We
trust these excerpts will not give our
neighbor the nightmare
1t is plain that Mr.. Cleveland has in
no way transcribed the limits OF ex-
ecutiye authority, and that he has ex-
hausted all the peaceful and const-
tutional means within his power. OF re-
pairing the wrong comm tied by Mr..
Harrison's Observation-Disclosures
Sun Dem.)
The president stands by the minister
and takes the whole blame of affairs
upon himself. If any mistake has been
made in Honolulu it now rests upon the
broad shoulders of President Cleveland.
This last transmission of Information
to the Senate and House Of Represent
atives puts Mr.. Cleveland in the light
of having the courage of his own con-
victions, and of having acted sincere
! ly in following out his notions OF re-
pudiating the acts of the former ad-
ministration and restoring Queen LII
iuol1alani to her throne.-Baltimore

The Hawaiian incident may be con-
Sidered closed so far as 1t concerns the
responsibility of the president. Mr..
/ Cleveland has acted throughout the en-
tire Hawaiian difficulty with prudence
powers. He has concealed nothing from
Congress. From this embrogllo Mr..
Cleveland energies with dignity and
credit, fully confident that the Ameri-
can people will recognize the sincerity
and manliness and justice of his stand
for American honor, and fully justified
in that onfidence.-KansaS City Star.

Whether it is Dole's manners or his
mind that need mending is of little
account. There is strong evidence that
| it is his mind, for his arguments and
conclusions are quite as unsound as
his language. 1--WE do not recognize
the right of the president of the United
States to interfere in our domestic af-
/ fairs says this Dole. OF course not
at least not in the domestic affair of
which you are personally so conspic-
uous a part. 1t was all right for
/ President Harrison to interfere and
violently to upset the queen, but that
i was for the benefit of Dole, and is
quite another matter. The President
! of the United States, is quite unable to
accept Mr.. Dole's conclusions. This is
not strange. Dole is UP to his ears in
the money-job which iunderlies this
whole Hawaiian scandal. He, of course,
expects to make a handsome thing out
of his ground floor position in the
matter. Mr.. Cleveland, on the con-
trary, is not making a cent in it, and
is thus able to take a cool, dispassion-
| ate view, and to be guided by the prin-
ciples of right and justice.-The Times
! Dem), New York.
The Hawaiian Oligarchs give signs of
uneasiness at the anomalous kind of
government they are presenting to the
world, and report that they are soon go
ing to launch constitutional republic.
| If they had done this, or pretended to
do it, a year ago, they would have
saved a vast amount of trouble to
themselves and all concerned. The
! lapse of twelve months has not made
the problem any easier AS to their
simply going to proclaim" that They
gravely tell us that no constitution in
Hawaii has ever been submitted to a
vote of the people. but simply pro-
claimed by the executive authority, q"
and they mean to follow that prece-
dent. 1t was treason for the Queen
to try to do it last January, to be
sure, but probably no one will remen-
Der that. The Queens doctrine was
the monstrous one of Hawaii for the
Hawaiiaps," but this is now to give
way to the motto, Hawaii for the
Americans" and the necessary nocus-
pocus for disfranchising the natives
and putting all political power in the
hands of foreigners by blood or citi-
zenship is now under way in the minds
| Of the men who went to Hawaii with
empire in their brains. They are a
queer lot, and it will be an interesting
thing to see how they get on. All that
we ask now is that they shall not be
put in the position of helping to COVE
ern us.-New York Post Qnd).
