introduce the following resolution on
the Hawaiian matter:
That it is the sense of the senate that
the government of The United States
shall not use force for the purpose Of
restoring to the throne the deposed
queen of the Sandwich Islands, or for
The purpose Of destroying the existing
government: that the provisional gov

the highest International interests re-
quire That it shall pursue its own pol

cal affairs OF these islands by other

.Argus-Leader: Maj. Buttz was once
arrested for one of the most contempti-
BILE crimes known. and since getting
out OF that trouble has been known in
Washington as u professional lobbyist.
And still THE MITCHELL REPuBLI-
CAN processes TO believe him against
Senator Kyle, Duncan McFarlane. Sem
ator Hunton and his son, and othersen
Ators to whom these gentlemen weeks
ago told the story.
THE MITCHELL REPUBLICAN has
not professed to believe Buttzas against
any body, but it believed that there
we're Two sides 10 the story. and there
fore declined to swallow this cock-and-
bull yarn without something reasona-
Bile behind it. The evidence now shows
that Kyle, ct al. were worse scared
than hurt, and they wasn't so badly
scared either when ii took them over a
month to tell their awful tale Buttz
WIS undoubtedly fishing for suckers at
both ends of the line. and his overtures
would never have been made public
had not the Democrats seen in them a
possible club lu bulldnze the weak
kneed brethren with.
