in every attribute of enlightened citizenship
to the Kanaka OF to-day as the Harrison Adj
ministration WAS superior to the Cleveland Adj
ministration in patriotic feeling. They had had
centuries Of civilization for their guidance and
refinement. They had proved during the dark
trials Of the Civil War that they were kind,
affcctionate and faithful They nurscd no ven
gcance against their old masters. or they would
have graticd il ut time when nothing but
their own good feeling stood between them and
utter license. They needed only the considera-
ton and Indulgence Of their white neighbors to
become useful and conservative members Of
society. Yet Blount and Willis led the move
mcnt that cast them back into Il political servi-
rude and kept them there-the same Blount
who labOriOusy cOncoctcd the case against
white supremacy in Hawaii. and the same
Willis who went there to render judgment.
Mr.. Cleveland could hardly have foresecn the
outcome Of his ridiculous knght-errantry or he
would not have done Southern chivalry this evil
turn. He may not be credited with any great
amount Of gratitude. or be capable, indeed Of
knowing what that sentiment means. But he
must know that he owes his nomination and
election TO the South. and the simplest con
sdcratiOn Of policy might have prevented him
from making that section the awful example
and sole victim of his bunder.

1t Is now given out that the one plan for the

sosses real merit will involve a cost that Is
estimated anywhere between Sl3,000.0OO and
$2000O,000, aud would be more likely 10 ap-
proach the latter figure than keep close 10 the
former. Even stout advocates OF the dcstruc-
ton OF the City Hall are convinced that the
people would not submit TO this and II Is silg-
