FUSES TO HEAR HIM OFT.
my rrrEGHAPn To TRrBuSv'
Washington Aug st is exceedingly unfor-
tunate that the present Administration is unable
or unwilling TO learn anything by experience, or
that if able to do so 1t fierccy resents and re-
fuses 10 profit by the lesson. 1t would be an
,mputation upon the intelligence Of President
Cleveland and his Secretary Of state to say that
both of them did not know and keenly realize
many months ago that the policy they had
adopted and We're trying 10 enforce against the
friends of Republican institutions and the gov
eminent they had set up in Hawaii upon the
ruins of a dsre putablc discredited and RIDICULOUS
monarchy was utterly repugnant to the people
Of the United States irrespective OF party, ara
was bitterly resented by them.

brought 10 bear upon either branch of Congress
or the chairmen Of any Of its committees Every
body reasoned that the President and his Secre-
tarv Of State. having escaped-at Whatever cost
Of prestige and dignity still cscaped-from bad
and indefcnsible position. would not again med
die In a matter respecting which they had SHOWN
so woful a lack OF aptitude.
