which the President OF the United States has
brought himself and his country in Hawaii.
The extraordinary :avor with which Mr. Cleve-
land is here regarded blinds the English neither
to their own interest in the Sandwich Islands
nor to those mistakes Of the President which
tend to increase British influence in the Pacific
The catalogue Of these errors Is set forth with
merciless accuracy by the very journals In
which euogies on the President have hereto
fore abOunded.
Great Britain, however has plain interest In
the overthrow of the Provisional Government
and the restoration of the Queen Mr.. Cleve-
lands British friends are, therefore, urging him
to persevere in his original policy, and remind
him that he Is still as they think, under a moral
obligation to complete his singular policy of set
ting up a tottering royalty under American
guns and the American flag. They him
that by no conceivable sophstry can he now
justify a recognition in January Of the Gov
ernment he attempted to depose In December.
They bestow on him many other admonitons
in the belief, apparently, that the Presidents
policy on this as on another far more important
matter, will be so famed to promote British
interests and to conciiate, or rather to per-
petuate the good will Of his British friends.
The other matter Is, of course the tariff. The
concern with which the Democratic manoeuvres
at Washington are watched in England amounts
to keen anxiety. The British have cherished
brightest hopes ever since the Democratic ma
jority came into being. They have appealed
and continue to appeal TO heir Democratic
allies in America against what they call Mckn-
leyism. They denounce the patriotic opposition
OF the Republican minority in the House OF
Representatives obstruction. They hall the
appearance Of the sergeant-at-arms as legis-
lator If he were British redcoat. They
mourn over every concession TO American inter-
ests which is extorted from the fears Of the
Democratic caucus. They remind their Ameri-
can friends that they may lose British sympa-
thes If they allow the Wilson bill TO discrimi-
nate against the foreigner. They treat an es-
timated deficit Of fifty millions a trifa which

In short, they want to know whether the words
free trade mean anything more in Democratic
mouths than the words or political professions
OF that interesting party usually do. The
British manufacturer, meantime, Is warned
that II Is not at all certain how soon the
President and his Democratic majority will hand
over to him that possession and control Of
American markets he has so long expected
II is noticeable that fresh proofs Of the Pope's
resolve to support the French Republic are sup
piled at moments when the Republic is more or
less at odds with the Kingdom Of Italy. His
Holinesss letter 10 tha Bishop of Autun follows
hard upon the Aigues-Mortes acquittals.
1t is true that this amazing verdict or
French jury evoked no diplomatic remonstrance
from Italy. II could not well be the occasion

It's powers in bringing the rioters to trial and

impartial tribunal. 1t Is true also, that Signor
