Leave Lii Out.

In reply to a recent article in Har-
per's Bazaar IN which Mrs. Harriet Pres
colt Spofford undertook to cha mpion the
cause Of eX-Queen Liliuokalani and ele-
vate her to the dignity Of martyrdom, a
resident of Honolulu writes to the Wash.
ington Star the real facts in the case,
and they sustain every charge which
has been brought against this woman.
They convict her of dupliCity, blood
thirstinese and reckless extravaganza
and show that for the ending of her
career as a sovereign she had primarily
herself TO blame.
BE this as it may, the essential fact
IN the whole matter is that the domi-
mainland respecta BILE influences in Ha-,
wall have decreed that monarchy as an
institution shall cease, and from their
verdict we perceive no possibility of a
successful appeal. Certainly Liliuoka-
lani cannot expect amy general SYM
pathy in the United States. Though she
had been a queen in fact as well as in
title. uniting to wise sovereignty every
individual merit, yet still could she eX-
pcCI IIOHl the american people very
little consolation for the loss of her
throne. The idea that authority is a
brthright and loyalty duty founded
on caste rather than deserving is fun
damentally repugnant to believers in
republican government. The wisest
sovereign who ever wore crown is in
point of theory an Objectionable spec
tacle to true Americans, for the reason
that his merits are individual, and ex-
list in spite Of the odious system.
1t is to he noted as a gratifying fact
that those Americans who most ably
oppose the annexation of Hawaii do so
wholly without reference to the claims
or grievances of Liliuokalani. She may
properly be considered as eliminated
from the problem, save perhaps as an
instructive reminder of the instability
of unjust government. The question of
annexation is infinitely broader and
deeper and further reaching than any
issue which may rest upon her fancied
wrongs. 1t will contribute to clarity
of vision and sanity of judgment if this
fact shall be generally recognized.

The Dudderar madstones are known

Mr. DuddoraF told the correspondent
that they were brought to Kentucky
from Missouri about 1912 by his father,

stones came from the NAV of q Rocky

powers Of Europe more distant from

Greece will accept no compromise
as long as the Sultan holds any

Modern Greece grows slowly, yet it
grows. Though its future looked
uncertain at its birth in 1929, events
have gradually strengthened it as a

Greece is unusually fortunate in its

Lar princes for the succession King
George is not a Greek, but a decend-
ant of the vikings, member of the
remarkable Danish household which

Danes are fond of a song relating to
their royal house, the refrain Of
which runs "a fine family is that

four daughters, born in Greece, and
popular with all classes. The
dynasty of Greece is as strong in
princes as that OF Russia is now
seriously weak.
In addition to his ties of blood
with royalty Of England and Russia.
King George of Greece holds a SINH

marriage of his oldest son,
Constantine, Duke Of Sparta, to the
Princess Sophia, sister Of the

next prospective Queen to reign in
