Frank Hatton Reviews In rncotious Style
Senator nIorgan's Hawaiian Report.
Some day, in the sweet by and by per-
hapS. we shall know exactly what Sena-
tor Morgan's report on tho Hawaiian in
vestigation really means. We shall know
whether it is intended as manly DEM
onstration CT American sentiment or a
suave and seryile embarrassing Of a dis
creditable blunder-whetherit is shrek
of the noble bird of freedom or the still
small warble of the lowly cuckoo.
For tho present we are able to disen-
tangle from the bewildering labyrinth Of
Its language one isolated fact Of mo-
ment-the fact that Mr.. Morgan and
majority Of the committee with him be-
lieve in the annexation Of the islands.
Out of that wild and tossing sea of rhet.
oric we have succeeded in snatching
this lonely derclict. But all the rest Of
it is cnveloped in tender haze of volu.
bility, which, while it accomplishes won
ders in the way Of stimulating guess
work, is valueless as a guide to definite
conclusions. The utterance appears to
be confused with howevers and notwith-
standings and moreovers, and there isin
it an opulence of "if 80, why not2" pro-
fundity that battles exact analysis.
According to this astonishing docu-
nont, everybody connected with the
Hawaiian incident behaved like states
man, q scholar, hero and a patriot.

Blount. President Dole is a great man
on the right track, and Liliuokalani

wisely in recognizing the queens down.

we'll within its lawful powers in trying
to set her u2 again. In word, the re-
port furnishes a common ground upon
which all men may meet and where all
sorts of opinions can find encourage
ment and sympathy.
AS we say, there is just one downright
proposition to which the bewildered citi-
zen may cling, and that is the clear, un-
equivocal and unmitgated declaration
by seven out Of the nine parties to the
report that they favor tho annexation of
Hawaii by the United States. Washing
