CLEVELAND AND HAWAII.


AT the risk of sending some folks
into a fit we publish herewith a few
of the comments of the press on the
action taken by the President with re-
gard to Hawaii. The subject has been
made prominent in the local contest
between the two parties and is still
under consideration in Congress, there
fore we refer to it once more:
There can be no two opinions among
men Of fairness and patriotism as to
this controversy. The President has
demonstrated his patriotism and his
common sense throughout. He could
not have pursued another course and
retained a consciousness of integrity
st. Paul Globe, Oem.)
One thing President Cleveland
has saved us from, and that is the
everlasting disgrace of having secured
Hawaii by robbery. President CIeve-
land has preserved our national honor
from this stain. He acted with sag
acity and prudence that was admir-
able.-Utica Observer, Oem.)
Mr.. Cleveland has, in one of the abb
lest papers he has ever written, amply

FULLY presented to the world the COM
nonsense American policy of strict
neutrality in relation to the affairs of
other countries. Now for an example
of sturdy, rugged, out-and-out Demo
cratic craftsmanship in House and SEN
ate. Ride over the pestiferous jim
goes, and hold up the American flag
as the emblem of American honesty.
Hold 1t up to show that, in the hands
of the Democracy, the stains of private
greed and immoral meddling are wash
ed out.-St Louis Republic Oem).
The President gives a plain, straight
forward. lucid history, from the official
information at his command, of the
events connected with the overthrow
of the Hawaiian monarchy and the
installation of the provisional govern

est desire to deal justly with reference
of maintaining the honor and integri-
ty Of the United States, that it cannot
fail to make a most favorable impress
sion upon all fair-minded men.-Omaha
Bee, Rep).
President Cleveland's firm stand in
defense of the national honor concern
ing the Hawaiian imbroglio cannot fail
to receive the approval of the honest
sober judgment of the vast bulk of the
American masses. Americans without
distinction Of party have but one pro-
per course to pursue in the matter
and how any Democrat can falter we
cannot conceive. Let us as one man
uphold President Cleyeland's manly
honest, and patriotic course.-Nash,

That. the great body of people who
