BLAINE declared that we had acquired "a
legit!mately dominant influence In The
North Pacific" and that "ths situation Of
tho Hawaiian Islands. giving them the
strategic control Of the North Pacific, brings
their possession within the range Of ques-
lions Of purely American policy"
It IL clear. therefore, that for more than
fifty years we have assumed and declared
the existence Of peculiar relations between
Hawaii and the United States, which made
us her special protector against aggression ;
that over forty Year, 9 we took the arst
steps TOWARD her annexation to the Union ;
finally, that ever since, and at all times, we
have held that the only status for
her was either that Of Independence.

our own body polite, should she and we at
any future time, and as the result Of any
peculiar circumstances, desire 1t. The
whole world has been familiar with thia
policy, and has como to regard Hawaii "a
virtually under an American protectorate,
90 far a. danger from European and Asiatio
sources was concerned. Hawaii herself
has had cause to believe that she would be
received directly into the American politi-
cal system. provided Independence and
prosperity should become impractlcable for
her outside Of that system.
Two things are accordingly manifest.
One 10 that the treatment Of Hawaii by the
CLEVELAND Administration four years
ago was against all the traditions OF
American policy and Of Democratic pol
Icy; the other, that tho present treaty OF
annexation is fully In accord with that
policy. President MoKINLRY's Adminis'

be congratulated on he fact that 1t Is fol

project, and to pluck the fruit matured

that he may make what he calls . crodita-
BILE and satisfactory record Of the work OF
the convention, he requests each member
Of that body to "reviow" his own remarks
and mako AL proper corrections therein,
sending the corrected remarks typewrit-
ten" to him At Altman, oswego county,
N. Y, where he proposes to perform his
undertaking.
. It 10 impossible to read his circular with
out gaining the impression that 1t contem-
plates q revision Of the debates Of the Con-
stitutional Convention, which will not only
be valueless, but IL likely to be most mis-
leading and dangerous.
The debates are evidently to be improved,
and delegates are to be allowed to say now
what they wish they had said three years
ago. In other words, they are to have
"leave TO print" their unspoken speeches,
after the manner OF some Representatives
In Congress, In the Congressional Record.
It does not matter 30 much there; but the
debates Of o constitutional convent IN are
often Of the utmost Importance as a guide
to the correct determination Of ques-
tions Of constitutional law. Only a few

called upon to decide whether the
article Of the new Constitution in refer
ence to the militia must be so interpreted
an to increase the State tax a half million
OF dollars per annum for the support Of the
National Guard; and In reaching the con-
clusion that no such change was intended,
they were largely Influenced by the fact
hat the debates Of the Constitutional Con-
vention did not indicate any idea OF chang
ing the existing militia system to that
extent. No reliance can be placed upon
those debates for such purposes hereafter,
however, II they are to be made to represent
what the members Of the convention think
about the various subjects under discussion
there, after an opportunity Of rejecting
upon them for three years, instead Of repro
duclng exactly what they said then.
That there Is q real danger of alterations
In these debates, which will make them false
and misleading lights in the Interpretation
Of the new Constitution. is evident from
this paragraph in Mr.. STEELE's circular:
~ pr oppose personally to correct all obvious errors in
the record. but If you desire other corrections you will
SEQ the necessity of their b ing speedily placed In
my hands to insure insertion. and not d lay the work

What are the other corrections that may
be desired9 Is It likely that at this late
date any members memory will be more ac-
curate han was the stenographer's record
of what he said, as already publishedf We
think the probabilities Of accuracy are so
largely with the stenographer as to forbid
any alterations, save. perhaps. in the cases
of obvious error to which Mr.. STEELE re.
fers and even these it would be better to
let alone. II they are obvious they can do
no harm.
This revision Of the debates Of the Con
stitutional Convention Of 1894 should be
known as STEELE's Altman Edition and
when you want to consult the debates for
any useful purpose, be careful to avoid II
and refer to the original record.

E1-Queen and ex-Prestdent.

The treaty for receiving Hawaii into the
Union may be altered, In some respects,
before ratification by the Senate; but II IL
should leave that body without containing
any provision for Mrs. DOMINIC. It will
furnish a fresh reminder Of the Interior
ence Of Mr.. CLEVELAND in her behalf, which
In every way has cost her 90 much.
Although the overthrow Of Queen LILIUo-
KALANI was due to her own outrageous
conduct. the annexation treaty Of 1898 pro-
posed for her a liberal pension Of $4,000,
while for Princess KAIULANI It provided
$50. 900 In a lump sum. Mr.. CLEVELAND
opposed that treaty, and sought to restore
the discarded monarch to her throne. The
attempt was q miserable failure, Of course,
but poor Queen LII became firmly con-
WINGED that she had a good friend at Wash
lngton, and presently her adherents en-
tered into a conspiracy to destroy the Ha-
waiian Government Int bring her back to
power. 1t failed az wretchedly as Mr..
CLBvELAND's plan had failed, and Mrs.
DoMINIs, like others, was imprisoned.
When. thanks to the clemency Of Presi-
dent DoLE's Government, she was at length
pardoned, she departed for the United
ptotcs, pioiiptiy tuihihS hcA oeSpc VISA
Washington, where she soon had q chance
Of seeing how utterly unable Mr.. CLEvE.
LAND was to do anything for her and how
devoid Of influence he had become.
But after the developments Of the past
few years, and In view Of the fact that the
ex.Queen is still as bitterly opposed to an.
nexation as the ex-President, 1t Is not Sur
prising to learn that the new treaty drops
her utterly, and herewith, also, KAIULAN1,
her niece.
Had the deposed Queen been made to un.
derstand at the outset that she and royalty
had nothing to hope from the Government
OF the United States, perhaps she might
have resigned herself to her fate. and been
content to save some provisions for per-
sonal comfort out of the wreck herown folly
had caused. Had the treaty of 1898 been
ratified, the Queen would already have
enjoyed for four years a pension Of $4,000,
and would still be enjoying 1t. while Prin'
cess KAIULANI would have received within
one year from the ratification Of that treaty
the handsome fortune Of $15O,000. For the
vanishing Of those prospects they may
thank their foolish friends, and MI. CLEvE.
LAND, above all.

With his amendment the Democratic
theory Of taxation, begun by Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND and continued by the other Populists,
may be regarded as complete. First, the
income tax. to fine the living. Last, the in
heritance tax, to strip the dead.

speech. charged the Hon. NELSON w. AID.
