THURsToN's

We suppose that it is true that Minister
Thurston, of Hawaii, has never been treated
by our State Department as other ministers
are treated.-Louisville Commercial Rep.)
The offense of Minister Thurston against
diplomatic red tape was not SO grave that
Secretary Gresham might not have ac-
copied his verbal apology, and not insisted
on having one in Eli
Quirer (Dem.)
Minister Thurston, of Hawaii, doesn't like
to get his passports to leave Washington,
but neither did the Congressman who were
last year notified that they We're persona
non grata. All aboard Tor Honoiuiu.-St.
Louis Republic Dem.)
Secretary Gresham's remark that it is
improper for any newspaper man to APP
proach him concerning Minister Thurston's
recall suggests theAthought that Caesar is
feeding on that same mysterious meat
again.-Pittsburg Commercial Gazette (hep)
Mr.. Thurston got some advance news and
he gave it to the public, as any live Amer
lean would be tempted to do under like con-
ditions. Mr.. Thurston may be disciplined for
this, but his punishment will not abate in
the slightest degree the esteem in which
he is held by the American p~eopie.-Brook-
lyn Times Rep1
When Minister Thurston abused the Pres
ident and Secretary Gresham in newspaper
interviews, Just as though he were already
annexed. and endowed with all the rights
and privileges of citizenship, there was a

1t is the duty now of Mr.. Thurston to skin
Mr.. Gresham and his crooked reservations
of truth, and to fully expose what has been
done to aid the royalist conspiracy that
caused bloodshed at Hawaiis and would
have been a massacre of the white people in
Honolulu if Cleveland and Gresham had
been a success.-Brooklyn Standardization
lRep)
Send Thurston back to Dole with word to
that latter worthy that he needn't be in
any hurry about replacing the former. Let
Hawaii work out its own salvation as time
and the contending currents of human sell
fshness, humbug and hypocrisy that beat
the whole caboodle!-Chicago Times-Herald
(Dem.)
Minister Thurston has been a persona
non grata to this administration ever since
he was appointed. Che government which
he represents is non grata. Everything
connected with the new republic is non
grata. The only person who is grata is the
ex-Queen Liliuokalani, who is now in dur
ance, having been convicted OF treason.
Chicago Tribune (Rep)
1t is probable that Mr.. Thurston fairly
represents his own government. He belongs
to the annexation party in Hawaii and
came here mainly to encourage similar

at Washington he takes the risk of finding
suddenly that the Secretary OF State has
demanded his recall.-Chicago Record Qnd.)
Thurston should have been sent back to
Honolulu long ago. His conduct has been
sufficiently offensive. He was ready at any
moment to give out interviews during the
Hawaiian complications, and his express
sionS were such as should have insured him
his recall. or his passports soon after his
arrival as the representative of the Dole
government. Louisville Courier-Journal
