| Concerning n Hawaiian Volunteer.
There has been no loud public demand.
30 far as we are aware for Mr.. DANIEL II.
| CHAMBERLAIN's views on the ethics Of the
Hawaiian question. Nevertheless. that
distinguished moralst came to the front
yesterday with long letter In defence OF
the Administration attempt to restore
monarchy. 1t appears that this gentleman
regards the Provisional Government as a
mere junta. n bold oligarchy. an unre-
strained despotism. set up and maintained
without the smallest reference to the con-
sent Of the governed" It was the duty OF
Mr.. CLEVELAND. he thinks. "to call on the
Provisional Government to return the
booty which by our aid 1t had succeeded In
gaining" Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN adds:
"Partissus and gos,, may decry this policy and
style tho Policy Of Infamy but the impartial jude
and the Instructed conscience OF the world as
well q, Of ths'American people, will honor and ap
rlaud It."
The instructed conscience OF the world
lost all interest. several years ago. in Mr..
DANIEL II. CHAMBERLAIN opinions on any
subject involving questions OF political
honor or personal honesty. He may pro-
Government as carpet-bag adventurers and
scalawags. but that does not hurt them.
They know In Hawaii Just as well as the
people OF the United States know. that this

The revelation OF the true character OF
the indefatigable public moralist who
penned this precious eplstle. occurred near
ly twenty years ago. Since the author
was laid permanently on the shelf. for all
public purposes. he has repeatedly volun-
teered to instruct his fellow citizens in
matters Of right and morality. There is
something almost pathetic in Mr. CHAM
bfhLAlN perloulcal Efforts, by means OF |
laborious essays on this that. or the other |
public question, to connect his name with |
what is going ON In the world Of larger af- |
fairs. We should be the last 10 wish To |
crush his aspirations in this respect; but it |
is not The suns fault that it retains so |
distinct recollection Of the days Of carpet |
bag infamy in South Carolina. that we can |
never see anywhere a letter OF high moral |
professions signed ID. II. CHAMBERLAIS. |
without at once thinking Of this other let |
