mind, be had 50 far had no OPP
portunity to make an investiga-
ton and familiarize himself with
the true state of affairs In Ha-
vail. That be should blindly
follow the recommendations OF a
person ike j. L. Stevens could
hardly be expected and the un
seemly haste with which the
attempt was made to rush the
annexation treaty through the
Senate besides the scanda-
lous prevention of giving a
hearing to the other side
might we'll make him pause and
consider. But he certainly had
no reason at the time TO refuse to
recognize what then-had become
the government dc facto OF
Hawaii. When. therefore. MIR.
Blount was sent to Hawaii. he
carried credentials with him to
the Provisional Government. and
his successor was sent here in
the same manner. In the mean
time the President had arrived at
conclusions which he considered
sufficient weighty to Justify the
policy since inaugurated. and he
has through his representative
here requested the Provisional
Government to comply with the
results of his policy. That
nothing contrary to good diplo-
macy has been undertaken SO far
is perfectly clear, although, the
very peculiar circumstances have
created somewhat complicated
situation. President Cleveland
considers himself thes arbitrator
between the Queen of Hawaii and
the Provisional Government.
The latter would never have
kicked if the result of his arbi-
tration had been the other way
and in its favor. Its attempt now
to back out, looks rather child
ish. and it will certainly prove
futile.

A Star Dream.

The cause of the revolusionists
is evidently getting very weak.
and they are looking around for
ways and means BY which they
could be able to break the united
front presented By the Loyalisfs-
For some time back the policy OF
the Star has been to try TO create
a row BY threats, abuses, ana q
general line of bulldozing. As
the Loyalists in spite OF ali such
efforts preserved the peace and
quietly pursued their road every
day. the Star now endeavors to
create division in the ranks OF
the loyal citizens. and 1t tries to
obtain its end by decisively
stating that there is a split
among the Queens party We
need hardly assure our readers
that the supporters of Constitu-
tional Government in HAWAII
stand as solid, shoulder to
shoulder. to-day as they have
done since J. L. Stevens depriy-
ed them of self-goyernment and
tried to steal the country. The
Star editors dream of Royalist
splits may be very pleasant as a
dream. but be will wake up and
find that it is nothing, but a
dream.

We call attention TO this fes-

on that line OF hope to reason

the Dole oligarchy were in fact
the purest of republics, that
would in 10 way relieve the Uni
ted States of the duty of repair
ing the wrong it did in deposing
the preceding Government. That
reparation made, we shall stand
aside, and it will remain with the
people of Hawaii to determine
what form of Government they
will have in future, whether mo-
narchy. republic, oligarchy. or
no Government at all. as mo-
deled upon Louisville's Board of
Aldermen. That is altogether
their business, and not ours

President cleveland's Policy.

The local annexation papers
are of course feeling extremely
sore over the policy which Presi-
dent Cleveland and his admin
istration are pursuing towards
Hawaii, and the Star evidently
expects that its criticism will
carry great weight and cause
the Democratic party to split
among themselves and defeat an
administration of their own
choice. The point which the
Star is especially harping on, is
the temporary recognition of the
Provisional Government by the
American Government. The
point is not we'll taken. The
Provisional Government, aseverv-
body knows, was recognized by
j. L. Stevens at that time the
representative of the United
States and more especially of the
Harrison Administration, before
1t was established and offered bv
the same minister. all support
which it should be in need of.
Owing to the false statements
and Misrepresentation of j. L.
Stevens, President Harrison and
his cabinet had been led to be.
lieve that the revolt in Hawaii
was a popular uprising that the
Queen was deposed by her own
people aud that everybody wanted
annexation. Consequently the
Harrison government continued
TO extend It's recognition Of what
1t considered a fairly established
government based on popular
principles. When thereafter Mr..
Cleveland took the reins Of the
q. 5. government. he had NO
choice in the matter because
whatever suspicious and doubts
there might have been in his

before the 5000 u enthusiastic
foreigners met at the armory.
According to Thurston his
revolution would have been
accomplished without any support
of the American troops because it
was beaded ljy the ables men In
Hawaii Che is modest if nothing
elsel while the pogaa negroes on
the other side were lead by men
in a state of panic. In fact the
whole thing was a wslk-cver, If
we can believe Thurston-who
by the way was prevented by
illness to be around among the
''ablest' men when the hour
came. But Mr.. Damon whose
reputation for yeracIty and
principle far surpasses that of
Thurston said to Blount:
While we were In the govern
ment building and during the
reading OF the proclamation
and while We were all
extremely nervous as to our
personal safety. j asked
one of the men with me there.
Will not the American troops
support usl' From that it seems
evident that the revolution in the
mind of Mr.. Damon was not
quite a walk-oyer as Mr.. Thurs
ton wants the United States to
believe.
But statements of that nature
can only benefit our cause and
injure the p. G. and Mr.. Thurs
ton, and we therefore hope that
he will furnish any amount of
statements and affidavits and In
that way open the eyes of the Amer
lean people to his untrustworthi-
ness and the inscriptions manner
In which he conducts his case.
The gall exhibited by Thurston
in presenting his manufactured
and unsubstantiated assertions
against the well proven conclu-
sions of Blount is verify stupen-
dous. Who is Mr.. Thurston in
the United States? Who knows?
Who is Mr.. Blonnt? What in
telligent man does not know.
Mr. Blount was before the
public in a most conspicuous
capacity for a quarter of
century. In that time not one
spot was ever found on his record
When he voluntarily gave up his
high position and retired from
Congress, the members of the
foreign relations committee, on
which he had so long served.
without regard to party, gave
him a parting ovation such as no
man in Congress ever before OF
ever since received. Is he un-
worthy of credence2 Then who
is worthy!
Let Mr.. Thurston then depart
from here and let us hope for the
sake of the name he owns which
once was honored among Hawai-
ians that if ever he returns here
it will be as a wiser, a better and
truer man.

The Hawaiian Republic

The spread eagle brigade of
Republicans. if not splitting the
heavens. are splitting their
throats over the proposition of
the Administration to do simple
Justice to Hawaii.
They made the same outcry
when the United States flag was
withdrawn from the Government
buildings at Honolulu, and if it
had been hauled down from the
Government buildings at Wash
ington they could not have been
more vociferous. They never
condescended to consider the
question whether a wrong had
been done not only to weak
power but to the flag itself when
that symbol of American SOW
ereignty was raised in Honolulu.
Their position, SO far as par
tisan with only voice and a
bazoo can be said to have a
position, is that the man with a
United States flag in his hand
can do no wrong.
1t is now the same crowd and
the same cry against the repara
ton of the wrong which was done
by the Minister of the United
States backed by the troops of
the United States, to the people
of Hawaii in the overthrow of
their Government and the estab-
lishment of Provisional Gov
eminent, provided for the sole
purpose of appropriating the pro-
perry of the Hawaiians These
patriots are not concerning them
selves about the question of
right or wrong involved In the
action of Minister Stevens. They
are simply filling the air with
Mortified denunciations of the
traitors to tie republic. who
would pull down a sister repub-
lie to restore a monarchy.
Of course it is useless to argue
with them. 1t always was use
less to argue with that class of
patriots who use the American
flag as covering to conceal
stolen goods and who swear by
the American eagle as long as
they can pluck it for the purpose
of feathering their own nests. II
is useless to remind them that
the question of republicanism or
royalty has nothing whatever to
do with the case; that whether
the government which our re-
representatives. overthrow and
which we ought to restore was
monarchy or republic. has no
bearing in the least on the issue.
1t is enough for them to rant that
We propose to set aside repub-
lie for a monarchy, while they
call upon the heavens to fall in
consequence.
But even looking at the matter
from this wholly irrelevant point
of view, what ground have these
bazooters for republicanism up
on which to staadl Where is the
republic which We are about to
set aside9
If the Provisional Government
of Hawaii is a republic then We
have never learned the meaning
OF that word in this country. It
was organized by perhaps a
score OF people who. first having
assured themselves Of the support
Of the American guns. usurped
power. appointed themselves as
rulers and then. with the recnn-

Mr.. l.. A. Thurston will leave
our shores and depart hence on
the City of Picking. 1t is under
stood that he has devoted his
time in Honolulu to obtain
statements and affidavits to be
used in Washington-that is
when he wasn't engaged catch
ing sharks and making other
arrangements for his exhibition
Mt the Midwinter Fair. Mr..
Thurston is of course welcome to
pack one or twelve trunks with
statements or manufactured
history. and he is at liberty to
unload them all before the COM
mittees of foreign relations in
Congress if those bodies
would care to look at
the rubbish. Mr.. Stevens has
stated in one of his latest
denunciations of Mr.. Blount and
Nj. Cleveland, that affidavits
can easily be procured in Homo
lulu for $500 a piece, and as Mr..
Thurston, thanks to the kindness
of the P. G. has got his travels
between Washington, Chicago,
San Francisco, Honolulu and
back again paid out of the pub
lie funds, we have no doubt that
he can afford to buy goodly
lot.
However the next question
will be how much credence will
be given to Thurston when he
appears against Mr.. Blount.
The latter came to Hawaii as an
impartial man. He listened
patiently to everybody who had
anything to tell him and when
ever he found anything which
could be held good as
evidence before any. body of in
telligent men be reduced It to
writing Mr.. Thurston ON the
contrary is the most interested
person in the whole Hawaiian
affair. He is like an attorney
who has taken case on a con-
tingency fee. II Mr.. Thurston
can carry his point and win the
case of the P. G., he will be on
top, if he on the other hand gets
defeated, be will be somewhat in
the same position as the lament
ed McGinty. he has already
appeared In print in the United
States and feroeiously denounced
Mr.. Blount, but unfortunately for
his case, he is contradicting j l..
Stevens as much as he is j. n.
Blount.
MIR. Thurston has stated that
the revolution was virtually an
accomplished fact before the
marines were landed and
that the Queen was ready to
surrender at the first sign of
violence. And yet in spite of
his alleged armed supporters and
Of the 5000 enthusiastic foreign
ers at his back Mr.. Thurston and
his colleagues ON the Committee
of Safety did not storm the palace
or do anything except comforting
with Stevens and even asking
him FOR further time as they were
not quite ready to 60 on with the
revolution which nevertheless
was an accomplished fact. Mr..
Stevens got impatient and AS he
was safer than his o-conspira-
tors, he told them 10 go ahead
and he Landed. A point worthy
Of notiee IS that Captain Wiltss
