Plain Truth.

\ » In comparison with these great j<apers of State (contained in thō Presidential message) the little matter of dealing with the Hawaiian Islands sinks into insignificauce. We ean eommii ourselves to a precedent tbat will some day eome up to plague us, and we eaa even be a party to a grave wrong to a weak, and # hitherto friendly race but we cannot postpone the gootl days coxning by anvthing we may do or leave undone in nderence to Q«eeu Lily O Killarney (as Irishmen are prettv nearly right j>ronouncing her name. or in regard to the lepers of Molokai or for the matter of that iu respect to the Judas missionaries of Honolulu who are selling their peoplo for a hoj>ed for mess of sugar-bonnt>. There is uothing of party in tbe moral qnesticn involved in the Hawaiiau difficulty. We nottce that it is the strongest Kopublīcan j>ajiers in the E.ist that are most warmly ajiprovmg of the Prosideut’s course. The 3 os t° n dr(cfWi»r well says: ’that those who have taken the trouble to follow the Hawaiiau case from the beginning do not need to be rominded that every mail that reached San Francisco from Honolulu dnring the maoy raonths Mr. Blount was residing on the Islands. bronjfht testiinouies from the annexatiomsts to the j>atience, reticeuca, thoroughuess, and deterraiuution to get at the bottom facts evinced by the sj>eciai envoy of the United States.” Mr. Blount has told the truth and President CIeveland has done right. Both ean atford thc sober second thought of the conntry. — »S'. F. New » Letter.
