SUNLIGHT ON MORGAN'S REPORT.

The extremely diplomatic docu-
ment by which Senator Morgan has
disposed of the Hawaiian question
has naturally excited q vast deal of
comment III the United States,
none of it more to the point than
the following article from the New
York Sun, which is well worth re-
producing in full. No editorial
writer in the United States has
shown a greater comprehension Of
Hawaii's cause, or brought to it q
more generous enthusiasm:
The gratifying discovery that seven
of the nine members Of the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations are
for annexation, leaves little dispose
ton on the part of the friends Of Ha-
waii to cTiticise minor points of incOn-
sistency and ambiguity in Senator
Morgan's report.
In order 10 understand that docu-
ment, with its supplemental and dis
senting statements, its manifest
contradictions, and its almost grotes
que amiability in dealing with Mr..
Cleveland, anybody needs diagram,
q polariscope, and previous acqUain-
lance with the life and speeches of Mr..
Pickwick.
But Senator Morgan has performed
a great public service. He has put
plainly before the world the fact that
American sentiments overwhelming
" in favor of the annexation of the
Hawaiian Islands, and that annexa-
ton is bound TO come.
1t is not party question. The only
partisan interests involved are such as
concern the supposed political neces-
sity OF shielding Mr.. Cleveland from
the consequences of the gigantic blum
der into which he was led by his
headstrong will and irresponsible
mental habits. That is side issue.
The protectorate already exists. 1t
is the beirothal preliminary to the
coming union. The Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations, seven TO two,
has lust proclaimed the hams. 1t will
not be in the power of Mr.. Cleveland,
or of any other individual, to prevent
the match. Destiny has the affair in
charge and Destiny Is more Persis-
tent and more potent than the Hon.
Grover Cleveland.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1894-03-23
AGAINST THE HOUSE OF LORDS.

The agitation against the House
of Lords passed into a new phase
when the Liberal Federation
pledged the support of the party to
measures having for their object to
secure to the House of Commons
paramount authority in the State.
This was a direct blow at the peers
and was so intended.
There can be no manner of
doubt that the House of Lords has
become an anomaly in the English
constitution and an anarchronism
in English history. Under the
modern theory of English govern
ment which makes the executive
virtually a committee of the House
of Commons, there is no place for
the lords. The result is that under
the present arrangement, a conflict
can arise which the constitution
offers no direct means Of solv-
ing. The case is really analo-
gous to that which arose in Hawaii
under the Constitution Of 1887,
which made the Ministry response
bic to the House. and removable by
them, and which yet apparently left
the power to appoint them in the
hands Of the sovereign. Here, when
a practical issue arose under these
seemingly contradictory provisions,
the dominant party in the Legisla-
ture took the ground that the res
possibility to the people was the
fundamental provision, and that
the royal prerogative must be made
to conform to it. Doubtless the
English Constitution points at
precisely similar solution. The
system which makes the Cabinet
responsible to the people, through
the Commons, and a virtual COM
mittee of that body, is the funda-
mental idea of the Constitution,
and other arrangements must be
reformed into conformity with it.
1t was a fortunate thing for the
House of Lords that its great diff
ference with the Commons arose
over the Home Rule bill, measure
The Hawaiian gazette., 1894-03-23
GRESHAM BEGAN 1T.

An interesting thing about the
testimony of Mr.. Blount is that 1t
discloses very clearly the source of
the restoration policy. 1t was Mr..
Gresham, and not Mr.. Cleveland,
who was convinced of the moral
obligation of the United States to
restore Mrs. Dominis. Mr.. Cleve-
land, it appears, had no opinion,
He was considering the matter. He
finally adopted Mr.. Gresham's view
of the case, and when he had done
so, he stuck to it, with all the per-
sistence of a thoroughly obstinate
nature.
This evidence throws 4 food of
light upon the subject. While 1t
exonerates Mr.. Cleveland to some
extent it fixes very clearly upon
Gresham the responsibility for an
alteration which could only have
originated in a perverted and &C.
centric moral judgment, and
mind wanting in political sense.
The other evidences, such as they
are, all go to confirm the view of
the facts derived from Blount's tes-
timony. Gresham's opinion was
formed last July. The President
hesitated four months longer.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1894-03-23

which he had never seen before.
Plucking some OF the leaves and
chewing them, he found his spirits
greatly exhilerated, and bis former
vigor so greatly renewed, that he re-
commended the newly discovered
boon to his people, from whom II
soon spread to all mankind.
Tradition, on the other hand, never
at loss for some marvellous story.
claims that the use of tea was first
discovered accidentally, in China. by
some Buddhist priests who, unable to
use the brackish water near their tenn
pie, stepped i'm it the leaves of shrub
growing in their vicinity, with the
intention of correcting its unpleasant
properties. The experiment was so
successful that they informed the
Inhabitants of their discovery, and the
tea plant was subsequently, cultivated
expressly for that purpose. Another
story attributes its discovery to a
Chinaman named Chin Nung, about
2737 b. c., who, while replenishing q
fire made of the branches of the tea
plant, let some of the leaves fall into
the vessel in which he was boiling
water for his evening meal. Upon
drinking this water, he found it so ex-
hilarating in its effects that he con-
tinued to use it, and impaired the
knowledge thus gained TO others of
his countrymen.
The first positive allusion to tea was
made in the fourth century of the
Christian era. But as fables as to the
discovery of iron. glass, and many
other useful articles are accepted as
facts, there is no reason why fables
relating to the discovery of tea may
not be accepted also. At any rate,
it has now become necessity in many
lands, and a luxury to all peoples.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1894-03-23
FULLY FULFILLED.

The Ministers were called upon
yesterday to state what was the
attitude of the American Minister
regarding restoration, so far as
they had any information on the
subject. In response Minister
Hatch read a letter from the
American Minister in which the
latter states that his special in
structions" were fully fulfilled.
The necessity of some declara-
ton of this kind is clearly shown
by the attitude of the Holomua
and the native papers, which still
strenuously declare that the queen
will be restored by Mr.. Cleveland.
The Holomua for instance, speak
ing of Mr.. Cleveland says: "He
has, publicly before the world, de-
CldT6u Indb he Will IcSIOIc luo
status quo ante in Hawaii, and
there is not the slightest indication
that he has abandoned his policy"
The purpose of talk of this kind is
too obvious to require statement.
1t aims to prevent the natives from
taking any part in the approach
ing election, and the article closes
with an earnest exhortation to
them not to take the oath.
Unless the natives can be salts
fled as to the intentions OF the
United States Government regard
ing restoration, these tactics will
probably succeed with the native
Hawaiians of the more ignorant
sort, as they will be restrained
from taking the oath by the fear of
consequences to ensue after "restor-
alton"
The Hawaiian gazette., 1894-03-23
WHY DO The HEATHEN RAGE?

The Bulletin is greatly excited
over the testimony of Lieutenant
Lucien Young. given before the
Senate Committee on Foreign Re-
lations. 1t can hardly find Ian
guage forcible enough to express its
sense of the gallant lieutenant's
dement's. The difficulty seems to
be that his evidence was not on the
royalist side of the controversy. If
this little defect could be cured
there would be nothing the matter
with Lieutenant Young.
In spite of the heathen's rage,
there does not appear to be any in
accuracy of moment in Lucien
Young's direct and forcible testi-
mony, unless it be in his statement
that Mrs. Dominis was intoxicated
on the afternoon Of January 14th.
This is a charge of which, so far as
We know, nothing has hitherto
been heard, and We are not at all
disposed to give it eredence. At
the same time We join with the
Bulletin in inviting those trust
worthy persons, who were eye
witnesses of the events at the
Palace, to give their testimony
on the point.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1894-03-23

which was not popular in England
and did not command a majority
there. So far as England was con-
cerned, this put the Peers in the
position of popular champions.
None the less, it served to quicken
the agitation against them, which
once begun, can never go back, and
which must inevitably legislate
them out of existence.
The objection to hereditary
legislative body is not so much
that it is logically indefensible-
for what system can stand the test
of abstract reason = but that it is
out of harmony with modern life
and ideas. The House of Lords is
a medieval survival. 1t dates from
