Evening Dispatch, Edinburgh, Dec. 81
The determination Of the United
States Government, as lately. an
nounced and Just confirmed by
President Cleveland, to make COM
plete restitution to Hawaii for the
action OF the Harrison Government
and its representative, Minister Ste
vens, has excited much angry re-
elimination between the Republican
and Democratic parties in the States.
The deposition Of the Queen OF Ha-
wall and the proclamation OF . Pro-
visional Government are abundantly
proved to have been . pre-arranged
and perfidious act of treachery by
the late Mr.. Blaine against . help
less people. Minister Stevens was
sent out with private instructions to
annex Hawaii, and in various ways,
by newspaper hints and correspond
ence, he has left ample traces OF his
perfdy. Mr.. Stevens was editor OF
the Kennebec Journal, Mr.. Blaine's
own paper, 80 that he was trusty
tool. In q 4th OF July Grafton at
Honolulu Mr.. Stevens spoke OF the
country to which he was accredited
as "a monarch-cursed country" and
several New York papers long be-
fore the revolution limited that IL
might be expected at any moment,

Blount to investigate the conspiracy

ing to the New York Nation,
"Shows clearly that the revolution
was a put-up job Of Stevens's, prob,
ably to some degree commercial
speculation, as nearly oil Blaine's
diplomatic enterprises were. Every
stage in IL reflected the highest dis.
credit on tho Government and pub
lie service Of the United States"
The discredit Is certainly OF nc
ordinary kind; for the action OF q
foreign Minister becoming the centre
OF a conspiracy for the overthrow ol
. Government to which no Ii sccre
dited, and setting up . sham Gov
eminent with the aid OF his owl
navy under false pretences, Is con
duct which is rare II not unprece
denied; and the Democratic party
contend, and justly, that the honol
OF the United States demands full
restitution. This IL . courageous
and honest stop. OF course . lout
cutlery has been raised among tn,
Republicans, who urge that . mon
archy was fair game Tor Republican
spoil. They sneer at the "hypo
crisy" OF thus pretending TO redres
"grest wrongs" and suggest tina
Uncle Sam might just rs we'll max
restitution to the American Ind
aus. "There might be some diff
