The Evening Star of Washington
gives a new explanation of the
Hawaiian episode in American
diplomacy:
"In the Hawaiian affair this re-
public is becoming more and more
palpably the cat's.paw of British
diplomacy. The solution of the
mystery of Cleveland's crusade for
the reinstatement of the ex queen,
outside of any disposition which
may have existed ia pursuance of
Mr.. Blount's so.called common.
sense diplomacy to reverse every
thing done by the preceding admin.
istration, is perhaps sentimental
one. 1t is understood that when
the Princess Kaiulani on her visit to
Washington came to see the presi-
Dental household under British
auspices, she made very favorable
impression upon the president and
Mrs. Cleveland, and no doubt en-.
listed their sympathies very warmly
in her behalf. 1t is quite likely
that the undertaking to restore
Queen Lii was entered upon by the
president only with the idea that
ex queen, who is of short-lived
family and race, and who is likely
to speed her end by her dissolute
habits, would soon pass away, and
that then the pleasing and respect
able princess would come to the
throne and would make creditable
ruler for Hawaii. This was just
what British diplomacy was aiming
at in sending her to Cleveland
under the auspices of Davies, the
British diplomatic agent"
If the above be true, the Nsw
York Sun wants to know: "Where
does the fine art of Claus Spreckels
come in? 1t has always been
thought that he has had great sub
terraneous interest in the policy of
infamy."

gress to pass a law, at once, en-
abling him to issue bonds of the
kind suggested by him in his annual
report, and in letter to VOORHEES,
says, unless congress takes prompt
action he will, under existing laws,
issue bonds for the purpose OF re-
plenishing the gold in the treasury
The only authority which the
secretary now has to issue bonds, ls
the authority given the secretary ~
the resumption act, and it is the
opinion of able lawyers that under
that act he can only use money re-
ceived for such bonds Tor the pur-
pose of redeeming greenbacks or
treasury notes which would not in
the least help the cash balance.
Mr.. Bailey, of Texas, evidently
takes the alb view of the powers
of the secretary under the present
Law, and for that reason introduced
his noted resolution, of Monday,
which reads as follows;
Resolved, That it is the sense Of
the house of representatives. that
the secretary Of the treasury has no
authority, under existing law, to
issue and sell bonds of the [ nited
States, except such as is conferred
upon him by the act approved Jan
uary IA, 1875, entitled an act to
provide for the resumption of specie
payments, and that money derived
from the sale of the bonds issued
under the act cannot be lawfully
applied to any purpose except those
specified therein.
In the resolution Mr.. Bailey
voices the sentiment of the Democ.
racy of this state, and what is more,
if the secretary had the authority,
bonds should not be issued.
To show where the pres, ure is
coming from and if he yields who
will be the victor, We append the
following from the New York
World
According to the Evening Post,
which is authority for fnan c. al
news of that kind, some of the
banks of this city are preparing to
squeeze the treasury by refusing to
continue the plan of taking ten-day
receipts for moneys due them, and by
compelling Mr.. Carlisle to furnish
all the gold demanded for export.
This is time when the gold reserve
and cash balance together are down
to $74 100000 does not smack OF
patriotism, whatever else may be
said of it. Perhaps the motive for
the threat may be found in the com.
plant that Mr.. Carlisle does not is-
sue longtime and high-bearing
bonds, or agree not to coin the
seigniorage in accordance with the
law. The New York banks have
acted very we'll thus far, but they
will not increase their popularity by
forcing the secretary to sell bonds
that will run from ten to thirty
years and bear interest at 4 to per
cent, pending action by congress
on the proposition to authorize the
issue Of short.time, low-interest.
bearing bonds or notes.
The banks of New York have for
the last twelve months been work.
ing to force the issuance of bonds
by the government, and for Mr..
Carlisle to yield now is for him to
surrended unconditionally to Wall
street, and thus acknowledge before
the world that money in this ma
ton is more potent than millions of
votes.
