"MY HAWAIIAN POLIoY.n

"MY HAWAIIAN POLICH.o
 Another chapter of the Hawaiian story is out, and 1t is long and deeply interest ing ono. It reveals more of the plot than has hitherto been revealed, and 1t also reveals why President Cleveland and his secretary didn't care to have the people of this liberty loving country know just what has been going on. It appears that when Queen Ln thought she was going to have the support of the President of the United States she made some fine plans. She was going to have those who had conspired against her behesded end their property con6scsted. She was finally persuaded to back out of this notion and do as her great and good friend wanted to have her. So far the plot worked all right. But when the Presidents go-between tried to work the Provisional government he struck @ snsg. He found that government as strongly In favor of liberty as the deposed queen was in favor of royalty, and Presi- dent Dole talked to him in Q way that ought to make him and the President feel ashamed, and that will make the freemen of this country feel ashamed for their gov ernment.
 The reply of President Dole to Minister Willie demand that the Provisional gov ernment throw away what it had gained and give "ths divine right" full llsway again will win the approval of all the people of this country who believe in the principles on which 1t Is founded and In the spirit which has made 1t. Said President Dole: eve do not recognize tho right of the President of the United States to inter fere In eur domestic affairs. Such a right could be conferred upon him by the act of this government, and by that alone, or 1t could be acquired by conquest. This understand to be the American doctrine, conspicuously an nounced from time to time by the suthori- ties of your government" He also said: '.No man can correctly say that the queen owed hes downfall to the interference of American forces. The revolution was car ried through by the representatives, now largely re-enforced, of the same public sentiment which forced the monarchy to it's kness in 1887, which suppressed the in- surrection of 1883 and which for twenty years has been battling for representative government in this country. If the Amer ican forces had been absent the revolution would have taken place, for the sufficient causes for 1t had nothing to do with their presence" And he further remarked that "though the Provisional government is far from be ing great power, and could not long re. sist the forces of the United States in c hostile attack, we deem our position to be impregnable under all legal precedents, under the principles of diplomatic inter course, and in the forum of conscience. In conclusion he informed Minister Willie that the Provisional government of the Hawaiian Islsnds respectfully and unhesi tatipely declined to entertain the propo sition of the President of the United State that 1t should surrender its authority tt the ex queen.
 The Provisional government has don, just right and Pres!dent Cleveland hal done just wrong. His action in this mat ter is great humiliation to the people o this country and such 6 misuse of his oftic' that he ought to be removed from 1t. Al an "ex" he could sympathizs even nor deeply with the ex queen than he doe now.
