The Annual Message To Congress,
discontinued at the end of the current
year, the annual outlay of $10,000,000

experiment, which he regards as a
failure. Another great Republican
scheme—the ocean mall subsidy—is
also reported to be a flat failure, and
Congress will probably be asked to re-

tions to back seats, and everybody

The report concludes with the

for the President to take, but believ-!

Chere are many Democratic Sen- |
ators and Representatives in Washing-
ton, but some of those here who were
at first disposed to criticise the
of the President have already changed |
their minds, and it is believed that]
when the next news arrives from Ha- |
wail they will all be disposed to 0

took theonly right and proper
If, as the administration believes, the
provisional government only existed |
because the native Hawaiians believed |
it to have been created and supported |
by the power of the United States, it
would at once cease to exist as soon as
Minister Willis officially announced
the contrary, as he doubtless did
soon as he arrived at Honolulu, If
the Queen should then be unable to
maintain herself in power that will be
her own affair, as neither she nor
those who might attempt to overthrow
her government would receive aid
from the United States. In other
words, the action of the United States
is merely intended to allow the Ha
walians to govern themselves in any
way they may see fit without any out-
side interfere nce, and as the first step
towards that end it was necessaay
that things should be restored to the
same condition in which they were
when Minister Stevens interfered to
overthrow the old government. The
question of monarchy or republic had
nothing whatever to do with it, nor
was sentiment allowed to intrude. It
was only a question of right and
wrong, and the administration, acting
upon the information gathered by Mr.
Blount during his long stay and in-
vestigation in Hawaii, has only done
what it believes to be right, and what
it believes the American people, re-
gardless of polities, will in the end en-
dorse, The power of the United
Btates is too great to be exercised to
the detriment of its weaker neighbors,
and the sense of fair play is too preva-
lent in the United States for the peo-
ple to wish a wrong perpetuated, be-
cause it was done by a United States
official.
President Cleveland is devoting
nearly all his time to writing his an-
nual message to congress, and in order
to work without interruption he will
only come to the White House on
cabinet days until it is completed.
There will be some surprises in the
message for those who think that the
results of the recent state elections will
have any effect upon the President's
policy.
Assistant Secretary Curtis will act
as Hecretary of the Treasury until Sec-
retary Carlisle completes his annual
