THE MYSTERY EXPLAINED.
Frank Hatton Eeviews In Facetious style
Senator Noryan's Hawaiian Report.

Frank Hatton Eeviews In Facetious Style
Senator Morgan's Hawaiian Report.
Some day, in the sweet by and by per-
haps. we shall know exactly what Sena-
tor Morgan's report on the Hawaiian in
vestigation really means. We shall know
whether it Is intended as manly dem
onstration of American sentiment or a
suave and servile whitewashing of dis
creditable blunder-whether it is shrek
of the noble bird of freedom or the still
email MARBLE of the lowly cuckoo.
For the present we are able to olsen
/ tangle from the bcwildering labyrinth OF
/ its language one isolated fact Of mo-
ment-the fart that Mr.. Morgan and a
majority Of the committee with him be-
lieve in the annexation of the islands.
Out Of that wild and tossing sea of rhet-
ORIG we have succeeded III snatching
this lonely derelict. But all the rest Of
it is enveloped in tender haze Of volu-
bility, which, while it accomplishes Won
ders in the way of stimulating guess
work. is valueless as a guide to definite
conclusions. The utterance appears to

standings and moreovers. and there is in
it an opulence of IF so, why not!" pro-
fundity that battles exact analysis.
According to this astonishing docu-
ment, everybody connected with the
Hawaiian incident behaved like a states
man, scholar, hero and patriot.
Mr.. Stevens was correct, and SO was Mr..
Blount. President Dole is great man
on the right track. and Liliuokalani a
perfect lady, if somewhat in distress.
The United States authorities acted
wisely in recognizing the queens down.
fall, and the administration has kept
well within Its lawful powers in trying
to set her up again. In a word, the re-
port furnishes a common ground upon
which all men may meet and where all
sorts of opinions can find encourage
ment and sympathy.
As we say, there is just one downright
proposition to which the bewildered citi-
zen may cling. and that is the clear. I'M
equivocal ana unmitigated declaration
by seven out Of the nine parties to the
report that they favor the annexation of
Hawaii by the United States.-Washing-
