government to interfere in such a
way as likely to lead to annexation.
The sche me is based upon the same
tricky id3as that have marked the
conduct OF the missionary govern
ment all the way through. They
are likely to overresch themselves in
this that, il the United States gov
ernment again interfere in Hawaiian
affairs, it may be to undo the wrong
which the Bpstons's marines per-
petrated in 1893, and by restoring
the popular government which for
so many years administered the
affairs of the islands without quar-
reling with its neighbors, so to re-
store pearce. Those who think that
the American government is going
to sacrifice its traditional foreign
policy on the altar of missionary
greed because the republicans are in
power will, I fancy, be very much
mistaken. The republican party in
power and out of power differ from
each other as radically as Philip
sober d ffers from Philip drunk
