FILIBUSTERS FOR HAWAII
Another Plot in the Interest of lii.

Regarding the Free.
hooters Plans.

The San Francisco Chronicle prints
story exposing an alleged plot to restore
Queen Liliuokalani and loot Honolulu Ru-
dolph Spreckels. the youngest son Of Claus
Spreckels,is said to be backing the scheme.
The Chronicle says:
''The object of the expedition was to take
the Hawaiian republic by force Of arms,
restore to the throne ex-Queen Liliuoka-
lani, divide money and goods worth ap-
proximately s2EOOO,OOO among some 200
freebooters picked up by ones and twos in
Western America. The active agent Of the
conspirators is w. P. Morrow, a native of
Connecticut, aged thirty-one years, and,
he says, recently a resident of Grass VAL
ley, Cal He is still in San Francisco under
surveillance
1.-THE headquarters of the filibustering ex-
petition have been at Ill Bush street a
dingy f1at-fronted boarding house. There
the agent of the conspirators has been re-
ceiving day and night motley crowd Of
men who respond to his cautiously worded
advertisements published in the city and
elsewhere. Morrow admitted last night
when he was forced into a corner and told
that the game was up. that he had been
engaging men to go into Hawaii and over
turn the republic.
He declared that Rudolph Speckels was
the man with the money who was backing
the project. Spreckels, he said, had al
ready concealed large number of rifles on
the 1 and of Maui, so that they would be
ready when the filibusters reached the
islands"
No Concern Felt Here.
The story Of the organization of large
hlibustering expedition at San Francisco to
attack the Hawaiian government and re-
enthrone the queen has been no cause of
concern at the State Department, for the
reason that several similar publications re-
Gently have been shown to be groundless.
1t is not doubted tfat some person or per-
sons in San Francisco have been encourag-
Ing the idea that they are engaged in or
ganizing such expeditions but their mo-
tfves are ascribed here to q desire to
achieve notoriety or mulct some credulous
individuals who may be seeking to get rich
rapidly.
That the last motive may be the correct
one In this last case is suspected from the
fact that the organizer has ingenuously
asked each applicant for enlistment to put
up the sum of $16 ostensibly for clothes
and arms.
The Department of Justice and the treas
ury officials are specially charged with the
duty OF preventing violations of the neu-
trality laws, and it is assumed here that
the officials on the Pacific coast have been
Keeping watchful eve upon suspicious
movements in that section directed against
the republic of Hawaii, which having been
recognized by President Cleveland as a
friendly government, is entitled to the am
plest protection in the matter of keeping
on hlibustering parties from the United
States.

A PETITION is now in circulation
headed by President Kirby of the bank
that Scheig robbed of upwards OF a
hundred Thousand dollars, and OF
which Gov. Clough was president at
the time of the theft, asking for the
convict's pardon. BY all means the
governor should grant the prayer OF
petitioners. He released the Floyd
boys, equal in guilt if not more so,
than Phil, and to be consistent he can
hardly refuse to give his official sane
tion to the demands made for Phifs
release. If the poor devil had been
tempted by thousand no one would
have any compassion for him, but one
capable of going this sum an hundred
times better is entitled to the full de-
gree of sentiment surrounding first
class thief And besides this, his pals
in crime are enjoying the exhiliarating
expansion of the health-givIug proper
ties of that world renowned Minnie
sofa ozone. It's shame and dis
gracs-a blot upon the escutcheon of
the states moral standing, to allow
Scheig to longer suffer behind prison
walls. Governor David M. should get
immediate action on himself. There
is no time for reflection.

we assure Bro. Ruane that earth

SOME of the Democratic organs are
telling how the Democratic party re-
pudiated German and Brice. That
party has never yet repudiated them.
Both were in complete control of
their party in their respective states
throughout the campaign, and the
organs which are now engaged in
kicking them because they are down,
we're then saying sweet things about
them and predicting that they would
both win glorious victories. 1t was
the people and not the party, that
repudiated them, and they repudiated
the party they belong to at the same
time. The same thing would have
occurred had Mr.. Cleveland been in
command, and in fact did occur in
Kentucky, where through Secretary
Carlisle the administration was bent
in an endeavor to pull Democracy
through, and failed. 1t could be just
as truly said that Postmaster General
Wilson was repudiated by his party
year ago when he was defeated for

A GOOD APPOINTMENT.

The state printing commiSsio ners
at meeting in St. Paul yesterday
unanimously elected G. c. Whitney, of
the Marshall Netos- Messenger, as state
printing expert to succeed Geo. q.
Stevens, the present incumbent. The
FREE PRESS is happy to note the Sc
lection and believes it a most judi
cious one. Mr.. Whitney being a jolly
good fellow and the editor of one of
the best weeklies in the state, is a
good business man and is perfectly
at home in. everything that pertains
to the printing, business, and that he
will save the state more than his
salary in the matter of tprinting bills
is foregone conclusion. While he
recognizes the rights Of the boys to a
necessary amount of 'phat," he will
not in the least be imposed upon but
will decide everything upon good
sound business principles, and that
is Just what the state wants for it is
fair to all. No selection will give the
members of the press gang of the
state greater satisfaction than that
of Mr.. Whitney.

A WORTHY LEADER.

The Chicago Inter Ocean says that
the address of Booker t. Washing
ton at the opening of the exposition
at Atlanta is still a fruitful topic for
discussion with those to whom the
man and his theme are a new dis
eovery. While there have been some
criticisms of his address by men of
his own race it is accepted by the
great majority, and the Inter Ocean
thinks that by his speech Mr.. Wash
ington unconsciously pushed himself
forward to the leadership of his peo-
pie which for years was held by the
late Fred Douglas, and that he will
make in every respect most worthy
successor, for it says, he is working
out a great plan of education, which
is not peculiar to the colored people,
but has become necessary for all races
and grades of people. The white men
of the North have turned to indus
trial training for their sons, as have
wise negroes eof the South for the
youth of their race. We are all real
izing that the hand must be educated
along with the mind, Mr.. Washing
ton is doing his part in this work, and
his efforts have been SO far successful,
and have produced such results as to
make him one of the most conspicu-
Gus industrial educators in the
country"

Hon. w. +. Il. HADLEY was nominated for
congress on the Republican ticket in the
Eighteenth congressional district of the state
of Illinois, and was elected by over 5000 ma
jority. This district is usually Democratic.
Will our gold standard Democratic friends take
note of this Rock County News.
Probably they will. They will also
take note that the Democratic candi-
date was running on free silver, l6
to l platform. They will further take
note that Mr.. Hadley represented the
Republican idea of true bimetallism.
And while they are taking notes, they
will also note that the people have no
more use for the silver standard than
they have for the gold standard.
Genuine bimetallism which will make
dollar good the world over is what
they want. Perhaps iG might be a
good thing for the Ne,os to take note
of that fact.

HE'S FAR TOO SENSITIVE.

The present administration STANDS
i'm great fear of hurting the feelings
of England. The last congress au-
thorized the building of two newton
pedo boats, and some time time ago
the secretary of the navy advertised
for bids for building the same. A
Detroit FIRM made the lowest bid for
building these boats, and this bid has
been declined by Secretary Herbert
for fear of hurting the feelings OF
Great Britain because the treaty OF
1918 provides for the maintaining OF
only four revenue cutters each, Dy
the two governments, on the great
axes. This is getting matters down
to a pretty fine-haired point, when a
treaty regulating the number OF
armed vessels each government is TO
sail on the lakes, is to be twisted into
meaning that gunboats of any kind
shall not be manufactured on their
shore, when they are to be lmmedl-
ately transported to the ocean Tor
naval purposes, when finished. Eng
land is not troubled with sensitive
ness to such an extent, and would
probably never have entered protest
had the vessels been built in Detroit.
In fact England is not in very good
position to enter such protest. for
according to Charles Cramp, of the
great American shipbuilding firm,
and to various naval officers, that
country has gone farther toward the
violation of that treaty, than would
Mr. Herbert, had he allowed the De-
troit firm to have built the boats.
They state that England has now on
the great lakes some half a dozen
steamers which are provided with
gun circles, covered over with false
decks, and have stored at Toronto a
large number Of rapid firing guns of
modern make. which can be quickly
put in place and so transform these
steamers into war vessels on short
notice in case of war with this
country. This being So it looks as
though Secretary Herbert was some
what over-sensitive in the matter.
But it seems to be matter in thor
eugh keeping with the Anglo-maniac-
ism developed by the present admin
istration.

THE Revie,D feels very badly because
Congressman McCleary has announced
his intention of living up to the policy
of his party and look after the inter-
est of his constituents and of the
country in general, by supporting a
move which will secure for the gov
eminent the additional revenues it
needs, through an adjustment of du-
ties which will protect American in
terests, rather than those of England,
as has been the policy of the Cleve-
land administration. Mr.. McCleary
believes in looking after the interests
of our wool growers and farmers first,
and in this he is right. Our neighbor
further says the people will be more
interested in a close watching of the
expenditures, than in the passage Of
protective legislation. The elections
for the past two years show that they
are deeply interested in both, and to
the extent of his influence we believe
our congressman will see that their
desires are carried out, feeling that
they are much more important than
the cooings of our free trade friend.

THE New York Heruld, which is en-
gagged in booming President Cleveland
for the third term, gives as an excuse
for supporting him. while it strenuous
ly opposed the idea of giving Gen.

a civilian while Grant was military
man and consequently there was more
danger from the Caesar act rom
Grant, than there would be from
