WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.

' • Another tlay’.s reflection on I’resident C’leveland s Hawaiian policy has cansed niany of the entbnsiastic imj*etauus men who were at first j>rone to severe criticisru to look at the subject through adioinistration s|>ectacies. The conservative ones are also coui;ug roond to tbis way of thinking, and a!together the admiuistration j)eoj>le are gettsng uu»re and more sangnine of jK)j5ular approval wheu the sobor second thought has been tukeu. flie cuttiug edge of manv of the >arcastic expressions are wearing oti' eveu amoug repnblicans. who were at first so mueh incensed over tho smartiug blow delivered against the wrong doings of the Harrison adiuinistration. 5?entiment is graduallv giviug away to broad and higher pnneiple of what is right aud wrong. —X v Vork H< ral L Unless Secretarv Gresham's description of the Hawaiian matter is found to bo overdrawn, it is diflicult to see how the United Stutes ean refuse to restore the order of things whieh existed iu Hawaii nei, j>rior to the oflicious iuterference of American i-ej}re-setatives.—*V. Oiieana Picayune. Justice is going to be done at least to Hawaii, au<l Queen Liliuokalaui will have her throue restored to her. —Mine polis Timcs. We dare say the go\ernment of the Qaeen had uut been what it sbould fcave been, and that, in taking the j)art of a defender and restorer of her rights, the United 8tates Governmeut will be in a position to make kuown its wishes regarding the future governmeut of the islauds, and have these wishes respected. lt seems to us thut, if this course is taken. as we dare say it is to be by the State Dej)artmeut, we ean right a wroug committed, and at the same time gaiu for those who wero interested in the revolutionarv movemeut ©very advantage in tbe way of politicul security that they had a right to expect. —Boston Uendd. AVe feel sure tliat the sober second thought of the American people wiil justifv the impartial course of Presi<leut Cleveland. —Baltimore Hei'ahl. Simpie justice calls for tbe restoration of the Hawaiian Goverumout as Stevens fouud it. — Detroit Frtt Press. Nothiug could more streugthen the adroinistration in the confldence of fair-minded and rightthinkiug men than the act of jnstice to Hawaii whieh is annouuced in the letter of Secretaiy Gresham. Tbe more the course of the President is stadied and understood, and particularlv the more >ts essential justice and its practical wisdom are test»>d bv exj>erience the finuer will be the convictions of the Amenean j>eople that it is s«gacious and honorab!e. —Xetr Vork Time*. So far a> the pohiie know>, there i< no reason for doubting the testimony of Mr. Blount. The administration has a right to rest ujK>n it. It is not easy to i read the Secretary s letter % and avoid tue conclosion that the < legitimate government of the i islands was ovcrthrown bv a eon- < spiracy backed by the American

I. ■ ] Minister au.l thtj Ataerican mannes. It secm;> c!ear tLat exSecrctarv of State Fv-t- r w. i5 . gtossly ileceive«I in this bnsiness. N\ hat tue fniure of Hawaii is to be is not easy to see. It is enough to know that our coontry is great enougli to do t'.e just and honorabie tuiag —lu ii <<,■!•//> President C!eveland s decision iu the Hawaiian case is the onlv jn> oiu’ possible. He has simply undone the »Tong whieh Minist r St«.v.'ns aoting without authority, committed in the name of the Harrison Administratft>n, aiul whieh that administration itself "as forceil to d;s.ivow aftcr it had made thorough discreditable use of it. The Queen of Hawaii issued u proclamation after thc Stevens seiz.ir- by force and fraud, in whieh she said she had yielded her authoritv to force uud mider protest. /* ndi n<j an appeal of her cnse to the United State*. — A ctr York Kvcnitifj Por>t. If the Queen’s deposition was brought about an»l her government abohshed by the wrongful iuterference nf tbe American \Iinister and of tlie uaval force of the I nited States acting under his authority, the dutv of undo ing the consequence of that wrongful act is plain.— Balliincre San. Onr lirst impression is, that the course they (Mr. B:ount and Secretary Gresham) recommend is just and worthy of a powerful naiion that isbound to act justly by its feeble ueighbors.— Bnffalo Com mercial. lt is to be hoped that Congress will speedily oome to the same conclusions tliat have been reached by the Executive Department. — Imiianapolis Sentinal. ,What the position of President Cleveland will be upon this subject has not yet been annouuced, but the American people will be inclined to favor full reparation for the wrongs tnat have been dono to the deposed Queen, and full restoration of the anthority whieh was so unwarrantably takeu frnm her without an app<reut shadow of an excuse.—Kansas Cily Times. •
