been Professionally established, and IL was.
therefore. not only his right but his duty
promptly to recognize that Government as
the only power in Honolulu which could
protect American citizens. Tho conclusion
reached by Senator MORGAN in regard TO Mr..
STEVENS is one in which the people OF this
country will cordially concur, namely. that
the only irregularity in the conduct OF that
Minister was that OF declaring a protector.
ate over Hawaii. and Of placing the Amcri-
can flag on the Government building In
Honolulu.
The weak point OF the report is It's failure
to stigmatiae ne a violation OF international
law and Of our Federal Constitution. the
demand made by Mr. CLEVELAND through
Minister WILLIS on Dec. 10 tina: the Ha-
wailan Provisional Government should
surrender It's authority and restore the de-
posed Queen. Tho plea on which Senator
MokGAN declines TO condemn Mr. CLEvE-
LAND for this act Is that the proposal made
by Mr.. WILLIS was no imperative demand.
but a mere suggestion offered 10 gocl will.
and neither backed by force nor intended to
be thus supported. The fatal objection TO
this palliative view OF tine transaction is
that. inasmuch az the Hawaiian Govern
ment never asked Mr.. CLEVELAND to medi-
ate between it and the deposed Queen. or TO
arrange terms OF compromise. the cool re-
quest that 1t should abdicate Was a gross
impertinence. which Mr.. CLEVELAND would
never have ventured to offer to a strong
power. well knowing that 1t would be inev-
itably provocative OF war. Another objec-
ton is that It was not until Dec. "a that Mr..
CLEvELAND's admission in his message to
Congress that he had no right to use force.
was made known in Honolulu: up to that
time, neither Secretary GRESHAM nor Min
lister WILLIS. although repeatedly re-
quested to give n categorical answer on
the point. would say whether 1t was in
tended to use force for the restoration OF
the Queen. 1t is just this policy OF studious
concealment as to whether the President
would venture. on one pretext or another
to ignore the constitutional limits OF his
power. that forms the blacklist feature
in the Hawaiian business. Unquestlonably
GRESHAM and Minister WILLIS
sought. by artful and concerted reticence
to make the Hawaiian Government believe
that force would be used to Back the
demand for its abdication: q demand
which In itself. ard whether supported by
force or not was an act provocative OF war.
and. therefore, ausurpation OF power re-
served to Congress.
Consequently we fail to see how the Sem
ate can adopt that part OF Senator NOR
CANS report which AYERS that 1.-The Presi-
dent OF the United States has not. In any
wise. been party to any irregularity or
OF conduct in his high Office"
Such a conclusion is inconsistent with the
facts and principles set forth in other parts
Of the report. and the Senate cannot accept
It without establishing a precedent for the
OF international law. and the
infringement by the Executive OF the war
making power vested by the Constitution
In the Federal legislature.

The Morgan Report.

Considered as whole the report on the
Hawaiian affair. submitted by the majority
of the Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tons. must be held to represent exclusively
the opinions OF Senator MORGAN. who is I'M
derstood to be its author. The other four
Democratic members Of tho committee dis
sent from some of the views propounded,
while the four Republican members. al
though they sign the report. disapprove OF
some OF It's conclusions.
senator MORGAN justihes the confidence
felt In his knowledge Of international law
by his primary proposition that. as Gov
eminent dealing with Hawaii. and with any
form OF government in that country. the
United States can have no separation or
break In its line OF policy corresponding to
any change in the incumbency OF the office
OF President of our republic" This means
that Mr.. HARRISON having recognized the
Hawaiian Provisional Government. Mr..
CLEVELAND was in duty bound to continue
such recognition; and We know that. as a
q matter Of fact. he did so. Senator NOR
GAN goes further. and maintains that. as a
matter of morals. the overthrow OF the
Hawaiian monarchy should have been re-
Rarded with sympathy. and not with repro
OeeAOhs " hAo ASSAhSAL VI tho AulIe0
States. His words on this point are that
Hawaii is entitled to demand Of us ian In
dulgent consideration. IL not an active SYM
patty. where she is endeayorilg t. accom-
plish what every American State has
achieved: the release Of her people from
ths odiOus metropolitan regime. which
denies 10 the people the right 10 govern
themselves. and subOrtlaates thsu 10 the
supposed divine right OF a monarch. whose
title originated in the nest slayish condi-
lions OF pagan 6arbaTity"
Another afiirmance of Senator MoRGAN's
will be sanctioned by all those who arc
familiar with the history Of Hawai- curing
the last seven years. We rcfe- % his a.

It Will he Equal to the Task.

Tho Greater New York ne conceived in the
plan OF the Hon. ANDREW II. GREEN. would
be city with population Of about 3.OOo. go
and an area Of about rs square miles.
The question has been raised whether tho
difficulty OF governing this vastly enlarged
con- munity would not dangerously compli-
cato and aggrayate the municipal problem.
already too serious IN the opinion OF some
people. But the history OF the development
Of all the great cities OF civilization
during the last generation, and Of
Few York more particularly. furnishes
no good reason for such misgiv-
ines. As these urban communities
have increased In magnitude, they have be-
como more desirable as places Of residence.
They are better governed and they are bet
ter provided with the facilities and appli-
snces OF civilization. They are more or
DERBY, more healthful. and life and property
are more secure in them than in rural dis
tricts and small communities. Also. as they
grow larger they become more economical
In their municipal administration.
In no great city OF the world has this i'm
provement been more striking than here In
New York. IL has been exhibited in every
direction. The moral tone OF the town is
ukhoE buhh ~ hSSu W lho pun
lie order is far better preserved Gangs OF
ruffians who formerly disturbed the peace
of many neiRhborhoods, are no longer
In existence. There is no offensive public
display OF vice. In that respect New
York is confessedly superior To any other
great city OF civilization. The savages
who are now keeping the European CAPT.
tails alarmed by their nefarious warfare
on society. are here held firmly under
police control. The Democratic party
unites the orderly elements OF the popula-
ton In the government OF the town. and
represses the turbulent and anarchistlc.
Tammany Hall is distinctly and essentially
Q conservative force. 1t Is always on the
side Of law and property. and for that rea-
son Its enemies are unable to organize the
conservative sentiment against 1t. mas
much as under tie Democratic government
Of New York the taxes are low as compared
with those OF other municipalities. the
Mugwump charge that 1t is a corrupt gov
eminent Is wasted on reasonable people.
The Democratic genius for municipal
government which Is now displayed SO con-
spicuously here. may therefore be trusted
to deal with any new problems that may
arise as consequence OF the decision OF the
people about the harbor OF New York to
Join their strength for the building up OF
great consolidated city. which will be the
second in magnitude In the world.

Annexation VIII Come.

The gratifying discovery that seven OF
the nine members OF the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations are for annexation.
leaves little disposition on the part OF the
friends Of Hawaii to criticise minor points
MoBoAS's report.
In order to understand that document.
with Its supplemental and dissenting state
ments. its manifest contradictions. and its
almost grotesque amiablllty In dealing
with Mr.. CLEVELAND. anybody needs a
diagram. polariscope. and a previous &C.
quaintance 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
sentiment Is overwhelmingly In favor Of the
annexation OF the Hawaiian Islands, and
that annexation is bound to come.
1t Is not party question. The only parti-
san interests involved are such as concern
the supposed political necessity OF shielding
Mr.. CLEVELAND from the consequences OF
the gigantic blunder into which lie was led
by his headstrong will and irresponsible
mental habits. That is side issue.
The protectorate already exists. It Is
the betrothal preliminary to the coming
union. The Senate Committee ON Foreign
Relations. seven to two. has Just pro-
claimed the banns. 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 persistent and more potent than the
Hon. GROVER CLEVELAND.

commendable. and tho money required

As TO the possibilities OF saving the Kear-
sarge. Commander HEYRRNAS was recently
quoted as saying that he feared II could

report. he said that "she was on one OF the
most dangerous points OF the reef. The
heavy trade winds ofthis season Of the year
would prevent her from being reached for
several weeks. and fear that she will be
all broken up when IL Is possible to reach
her. She was rapidly going to pieces when
we left her" But. on the other hand. Adj
miral STANTON In report submitted TO
Secretary HERBERT only last Friday. gives
this more hopeful view:

source OF satisfaction to have made
