Disclosures About Ha-
wall.

The reports to the government
from Minister Blount at Hawaii
reveal the fact that Stevens, the
former American Minister, was
privy toan active part in the plot to
overturn the existing government
to which he had been accredited.
and that he had made unscrupu-
lous use of the naval forces of the
United States in carving out
this plot.
1t was upon these official
reports that the President acted
in sending Mr.. Willis to Hon,-
lulu with special instructions.
The honor of our government
and people had been deeply CON-
promised by the unauthorized
aid given by Americas minister
to a revolution against friendly
foreign power, and that wrong
needed to be righted. President
Cleveland did not hesitate when
the true facts in the case were
laid before him.
The President acted like an
honest man. but, as events have
already shown. without the least
idea of making a counter revolu-
ton to restore the deposed
Queen. That was to be for the
people of Hawaii to decide, and
if such should be their wish no
obstacle to its Qualifications
should be interposed by the
United States government.
The facts as now made known
reflect Infinite discredit upon ex-
Minister Stevens as we'll as upon
the Harrison administrs ton.

The Hawaiian Matter.

Secretary Gresham after an in
vestigation of the facts in the
Hawaiian annexation case has
rendered a decision ayerse to the
annexationists and advises that
the treaty which ex President
Harrison prepared and tried to
rush through with such hsss-.
should not be taken up again.
He finds the facts in the case to
be about as follows: In January
the foreigners in Honolulu, rising
suddenly. set up a provisional
government in opposition to the
Queen. Stevens. the American
minister, who was in the plot,
gave the new government his
official recognition and ordered
the q. S. marines to be landed
from the man-of-war in the har-
Dor to protect the rebels; the
provisional government was sworn
into Office with American cannon
planted in front of the state house

average politician in the United
States more right now than the
natives of the Sandwich Islands.
or the imposing foreign elements
of Honolulu. If left to the ma
tives they will reseat the Queen
or her lighter complicated niece.
At all events the question of the
colored race in these United
States is enough for this govern
ment to handle without going
several thousand miles awav into
the Pacific to deal with the
negroes ortheir descendants there.
President Cleveland is right. Let
the United States go on record
to have aided a poor unfortunate
people in the Pacific ocean to
govern themselves, no matter if
they chose a monarehical or
democratic government, and no
matter how the Queens hair curl
or what her color is.

to overawe the rightful govern
ment The plot was engineered
BY only few people. mostly
aliens. and their government
cannot endure a day when the
support of the United States Is
withdrawn; they are the specula-
tors and monopolists of the
islands who are in the new move
ment for the money there is in it.
Secretary Gresham is right when
he says the United States should
not be party to such q steal.
1t IS an open question whether
we want the Sandwich islands as
a gift. We certainly do not want
them il we must take them as a
gift from the ring which is now
in control. We have rings enough

No wonder Stevens. the min
:ster to Hawaii under Harrisons
administration, was so pronounc-
ed in his criticism of the present
administration on its attitude to-
ward that country. 1t is now
given ont that Stevens was very
instrumental in bringing about
the revolution and is charged
with conduct that is very shady
for a man In his position. Had
the matter never been investi-
gated, Stevens anticipated wear
ing a great feather in his cap. Of
course he didn't expect change
in administration when he was
cutting such "capers' in Hawaii,
but to the evil disposed the un-
expected is most likely to hap
pen. If the charges lie true it
will be amusing to see those Re
publieans who have been bowling
so at the present administration,
drop the matter as they would a
hot cake and declare they never
did believe that Stevens did the
proper thing.

Conflicting Evidence.

The Hawaiian muddle becomes
more muddled every day. Ex-
commissioner and ex-Minister
Blount makes serious charges
againgst ex-Minister Stevens in
relation to the part taken by him
in the revolution at Honolulu last
January According to Mr..
Blount's version of the matter
the revolution was the outcome
of a conspiracy between the
leaders of the insurgent party,
and Minister Stevens, by the
terms of which he was to second
their efforts to overthrow the
established government, to the
extent of landing the .. S. mar
ines and so disposing of them as
to overawe the supporters of the
queen. This is denied by Mr..
Stevens with considerable warmth
and emphasis. Mr.. Blount goes
into the facts of the case in quite
a voluminous way. and presents
considerable evidence in support
of his allegations, but the other
side contends that the sources
from which he sought his evil
dence was biased against the pro-
visional government, and largely
untrustworthy. 1t is too soon to
Judge With absolute correctness
as to the points in controversy.
Mr.. Blount and his witnesses
may have been prejudieed in the
matter, but he certainly Is more
likely TO take disinterested view
of the events connected with the
establishment of the provisional
government and the participation
OF Minister Stevens, than is that
gentleman himself. So far Mr..
Stevens has presented no evil
dence whatever in support of his
statements. The matter promises
pretty lively scrimmage when
congress gets hold of it. There
is evidently considerable in il
that has not yet come to the sur
face. At present the case does
not present very favorable ap-
pearance for Mr.. Stevens. There
is much reason to believe that he
misIed the Harrison administra-
ton in reference TO the true situa-
ton at Honolulu in January. and
his own action in the premises.

Cleveland on Hawaii.

The dispatches from Washing
ton indicate that President Cleve-
land is not in favor of annexing
Hawaii. The statement of Mr..
Blount, the special commissioner,
exposes the nature of the con-
spiracy in which the late revolu-
ton originated and casts discredit
on the plans and motives of the
men who excited the uprising in
which the present provisional
government originated. In most
respects the affair appears like a
scheme of mere spectators, in
which the energy of American
enterprise as displayed by few
of its representatives was re-
enforced by the craft of a small
native element. Polynesian cum
ming with Yankee "get there
formed curious compact.
The United States must regard
with much interest all that relates
to Hawaii. Yet it has no reason
to covet the possession of any
portion of Polynesia. We do not
want an insular colony 200 miles
distant from our nearest shore. A
state in the Union so far away
and inhabited by such a race and
mixture of races as the inhabitants
Hawaii would be political mon
strosity. 1t would be impossible
under the constitution, laws and
traditions of the United States.
Yet this country could not regard
with Indifference the occupation
of Hawaii by any other nation. 1t
should remain an independent
state, under such protection as
would secure its safety and vel
fare. Raukesha Dispatch.
