"In times of revolution, of excitement
and transition, all governments, includ-
ing that of the United States, have as
sumed as an incident of sovereignty and as
proper means of preserving the peace
the right to exercise more or less control
over the press and the right of public
meeting,
In this era of peace in the United
States the police of Chicago and New
York do not hesitate to interfere with and
break up anarchist meetings. The Wash
ington police last spring arrested the
Coxeyites for trying to hold a meeting and
peaceably present petition to remedy
alleged grievances. The police of Brook
lyn last week prevented by force the hold
ing of a mass meeting of workingmen In
a public square.
THE governments of England, France
and Germany exercise freely, and to
much greater extent, the same power.
"The provisional government and the
republic of Hawaii have neither suppressed
nor attempted to control a single news
paper in Hawaii, and have not prevented
the holding of a single public meeting in
Honolulu. The royalists have repeatedly
availed themselves of the privilege to as
semble Itnmolested in the public square
and pass such resolutions as they chose
condemnatory of the government; pro
testing against annexation against the
constitution and the republic, and declar-
ing in favor of the restoration of the mon
archy. The royalist press, from the relig-
ious monthly of the established church of
England, to anonymous circulars, have
been allowed, unchecked, to advocate the
restoration of the monarchy and to pour
out a flood of abuse upon the republic and
it's supporters
"One of the serious features of the stu
alton in Hawaii is that number of the
leading ginsurrectionists are what might be
called professional revolutionists.' The
rank and file are ignorant dupes."
Mr.. ThurstOn then reviews Wilcox's
career as conspirator giving the history
of his plots against King Kalakaua in the
interest of Liliuokalani, and of his subse-
quent effort to overthrow Liliuokalani
and establish a republic, and proceeds:
This is fair sample of the material of
late insurrection are composed. Most of
them are foreigners. Scarcely any of them
own any property in the country. They
are men who have everything to gain and
nothing to lose by insurrection and dis
turbance. They are of the class and char
acter which furnished the communist in
Paris and the anarchist rioters in Chicago.
What is the government of Hawaii to doP
There have already during it's short ex-
istence been two domestic conspiracies to
overthrow it by force, Is the government
to condone every offence that can be COM
mitted against a government, and upon
capturing insurrectionists in the act of
shooting down its citizens allow them to
again go free to repeat the operation at
the first convenient opportunity?
How the government of the republic
Will solve the problem do not know. The
gospel Of forgiveness and forbearance has
been practiced with apparently no success
full result.
"Ihe men with whom the government
have now to deal have no comprehension
OF lberality, of forbearance or generosity;
Uhey conatrue liberty to mean license,
mistake patience for cowardice, and mercy
for weakness.
