In spite of lowering clouds and the rain Of
Saturday an unusually large crowd, which in
cluded many visiting cricketers, gathered at
the Alameda grounds yesterday to witness the
last Alameda-Pacifc match of the season. The
rain had had the effect of giving the field a
fresh carpet OF grass, ana the scene was quite
springliKe.
The game Itself resulted in an easy victory
for the cup-holdeTs, who brought very strong
team into The field. Captain Hood having won
the toss, took the field, and the Pacfcs' cap

THE HAWAIIAN MUDDLE.

1t is insisted that the Govern
ment of the United States COM
nftted q clear breach of interna-
tional law in landing troops at
Honolulu and setting up Pro-
visional Government under their
protection. Grant that the fact is
as stated, should the Government
now, after the Provisional Govern
ment has maintained itself for
eight months without the aid of
troops, re-land the troops to dis
perse the Provisional Government
and restore the dusky queen i?
Such a proposition recalls the act
of Colonel Gilbert Pierce, the late
Minister to Portugal, IN picking up
in his arms Ii young lady who stood
hesitating at the corner OF street
in an Indiana village, unable to
cross it because shower had filed
it with a rushing torrent of water.
The young lady submitted without
protest while the colonel strobe
gallantly through the torrent until
he deposited his fair charge on the
opposite sidewalk, with dry feet.
"Sir |" she then said, Indignantly,
are you aware that you have in
suited me ?"
'I was not aware of it," replied
the colonel, "but seeing that you
are right, beg to make amends"
So saying, he picked up the pro-
testing damsel and restored her to
the point where he had first made
her acquaintance. The young
lady was right in both instances.
She had the right to be consulted
before being carried, and she had
to submit to the carrying in order
to reach her. destination, and she
had then the right to resent the in
suit by protesting that it was such;
and the second outrage, in return
ing her to the status quo ante bettunl,
was a greater outrage than the first.
The comparison is, of course, de-
fective in one particular. Hawaii
has made no protest against the
alleged violation of her rights. She
is not apparently conscious that
she has been wronged, But other
wise the illustration is opposite.
Grant that Minister Stevens had no
right to land the troops. Grant
that President Cleveland and his
advisers take good ground in re-
jecting, on behalf of the United
States, all proffers of annexation
originating in an alleged breach OF
international law. There their duty
ends. They are under no duty to
restore the queen.-Frank Ieslie's
Weekly.
