WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-The arrI-
val OF President Dole, Of Hawaii, as a
guest of the nation is regarded by the
annexationists as q very important
event. AS he travels not incognito,
but as the chief magistrate of a friend
" people, he receives the same houors
that are paid to royalty.
This country is no stranger to the
visits of royal personages. It was, dur
ing the troublOus times in France, a
haven Of refuge for Louis Philippe and
for the future Emperor Napoleon III.
1t has entertained the Prince of
Wales, the Grand Duke Alexis Of Rus
sion, the emperor of Brazil. the Infanta
EuIalta Of Spain, and other notable
Caucasian rulers or members of ruling
houses. The crowned heads of Ha-
wall however, have favored US more
freely than those of Europe or Of Euro
pean blood Queen Emma's visit oc-
CURED a long time ago, but is still re-
membered. KaIakaua's, in 1875, was
attended with a much more Ostenta-
tiOUs display Of hospitality, as we were
just then trying to get something from
Hawaii and needed his good will. The
visit Of Queen KapiOlanI, about ten
years ago, was made with less formal
parade, but President and Mrs. Cleve-
land showed the visitor the usual dip
Iomatic courtesies. LiIiuokaIani, who
had been here once as princess, did
not come again as queen, but deferred
her second visit till she had been driven
from the throne: and when KaiUIanf,
the heir apparent. came, the monarchy
had already been overturned, so that
her royalty, like LiliuokaIanfs, was de
jure simply, and, as such, not open to
official recognition here.
Of all the visits made by actual or
potential rulers, Kalakaua's was the
only one to which any significance be-
yOnd an expression of kindly feeling
could possibly attach. In that one in
stance, as has been said already, the
underlying object was Of our own seek
ing-uOt Of the other party's- We want
ed Kalakaua here that we might wine
and dine him to his hearts content,
fatter some of our people the while,
and thereby clinch the International
negotiations which were already we'll
under way. Our present guest, how
ever, comes without invitation, and to
promote an object in which his people,
chooses the time for his visit, not when
all is calm and quiet and the minds of
Americans are IN a condition to weigh
cody the pros and cons OF the annex
alton question, but when the treaty IS
actually before the senate, the subject
Of A long and acrimonious debate there
and of heated discussion in the press.
In only one attitude, therefore, Is 1t
possible to see Mr.. Dole-that of a sup
Eivoc p 5aIP
at a time when sentiment rather than
reason is liable to tip the scale toward
his side. Whatever may be said Of his
legal right to choose his own time and
manner of coming, the question of good
taste can be answered in only one way.
In view of the entertainment of Pres
ident Dole as a guest of the nation, 1t
is Of interest to recall the cost Of en-
Pertaining his royal predecessor, KaIa-
kaua The bill of expenses, as given

The cost Of entertaining President
Dole will probably come out Of the con-
tingent fund Of the department or
state. as no special appropriation ap-
pears to have been made to meet IL.
This means the cutting-off Of a goodIy
slice from an already overcharged
fund, especially when we remember
that the visit was unsought on our side,
and is for the purpose Of helping Ha-
wall rather than Of benef1ting our
selves.
Senator Kyle today introduced an
amendment to the Indian appropriation
bill authorizing the secretary of the in
terror to expend the 1853, 600 to the cred
it Of the Crow Creek, S. D., Sioux in
the purchase Of stock cattle or in any
other way to the advantage Of the CIV
iIizatfon OF the Indians.
