NOT A PARALLEL CASE

The news is being telegraphed over th g
union by some of the official or unofficial
emissaries Of the Pacihc Island
oiigarchy, that in the event of President
Cleveland's administration recognizing
the Cuban insurgents as belligersnts. an
immediate demand will be made by
Hawaii. by which they mean the Dole
usurpers for annexation, and that then
President Cleveland cannot consistently
refuse his assent.
The process of reasoning by which
the two propositions Of the recog-
milton of Cuban independence and
the annexation of Hawaii are placed ca
. parity will probably forever remain
outside the comprehension OF the ordi-
nary dull American.
1t is unquestionably original with the
coterie of adventures who have dis
covered that democracies rest on the pro-
test of the governed, and that republics
should be ruled by minorities.
But to most people the belief will sug-
gest itself that it is none of the business

the Cubans or not, and that the assertion
that such recognition in any way in
wolves the annexation of the Sandwich
Islands is the acme of impudence and
absurdity.
THIS government has already given
recognition to the Dole administration
as the de facto government of Hawaii ana
thel same recognition will be probably
given the Cubans when they have reason
abby complied with the principles of in
ternational law regarding the essentials
or de facto government. The recogni-
ton of Cuban independence would not
even necessitate, for the sake of consis-
tency. the recognition of the Hawaiian
government, if the same had not already
been granted. because the former would
be government OF Cubans established
and maintained by and only by Cuhans,
whereas the Sandwich Island affair would
never have existed except for the aid
granted by the United States naval forces
in intimidating the right regime I'M
til the usurpers were able to seat them
selves In power. 1t Is a government of
foreigners sustained by foreigners against
the wishes of the natives and a majority
of the people. The annexation of Cuba
even, by this country. would afford no
precedent for conceding to the demand
which it is announced Mr.. Dole b as ready
to spring. For if Cuba be annexed after
she wins independence It will be as in the
case of Texas, because her own people
will have pronounced III favor of such a
