The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1895-02-11
MONDAY, FEBRUARY IL, 1895.
OF INTEREST TO US.

The Hawaiian question IS up
almost daily i'll Congress. The re.
allv constant consideration is of
itself favorable. The truth is bound
to be brought out. In time the
statesmen will weary of sparring
for personal or political purposes
and get down to line of action
on the ck-bottom facts. The |
administration in these premises,
is being buffeted about like piece
of driftwood on the tide. Senators
George and Gray undertake to
vindicate the policy and procedure
of Mr.. Cleveland Senators Lodge
and Hawley promptly offer verified
statements that send the White
House champions on hunt for
further official information. Sena-
tor Morgan smiles as he remarks
that the correctness Of his Com
mittees findings some months ago
is more patent every day. The
friends of Admiral Walker and
Tohn L. Stevens are exultant and the
former friends of Mr.. Blouut are
singing low"
In the House the record showing
is much the same. They are less
dignihed and more outspoken in
the Junior branch Of the great
Legislature. The Representatives,
who are in close touch with the
people, condemn the administra-
ton policy unreservedly and want
to take up the question of annex
alton. In the House, defenders of
Mr.. Cleveland indulge in senseless
filings at Hawaii and launch foolish
efforts at wit.
The newspapers throughout the
United States have resumed dis
cussion of the Hawaiian question
with vigor that is astonishing,
The vast majority of the publica-
tons urge that the islands are a
natural dependency of the Great
Republic. The papers appeal to
the patriotism of the American
people and with scarcely an ex-
ception criticise Mr.. Cleveland
harshly for withdrawing warships
from Honolulu.
All in all, Mr.. Cleveland must be
awfully tired of the Hawaiian
question and he is not through
with it yet His nation declines
to accept his view that Hawaii
stands in the same relation to the
United States as "any other for
eign country"
In the Legislature at Indianapo
lis, Ind, Representative Statesman
offered a a resolution condemning
the foreign policy Of the Nationa
Administration and favoring the
annexation of the Hawaiian islands
under the terms of the treaty adopt
ed by the Harrison Administration
He followed the resolution with &
caustic review of Cleveland's policy
A motion to lay the resolution or
the table was voted down and the
resolution was adopted by vote OF
70 to IS, all of the Democrats pres
ent voting against it.
On being interviewed in London,
Theo. H. Davies said II canno,
make any statement. The time is
past tor this. am deeply grieved
by the last news from the Hawaiian
islands, and especially at the death
ofMr. Carter, for whom l personally
had a warm regard" Kaiulani de
clined to make any expression.
During a debate in the House
Congressman Picker, South Dako
ia, paid tribute to the memory o.
Charles L. Carter.
