Undo the Wrong.

The poor lie tbat Mr. Blount examined no men conuected witb the provisional government, in his investigations. at Honolulo, is all along of the coarse porsned towanl tbe gentleman. from the day he was named as special comraissioner. The annexationists. here and there s:mply sought to break him down m public confideuce and esteem, and they stopped at nothing ; tbat promised success in the ! business. But his report vin- ? dicates itself and its maker. He I has been thorougb and impartial; i and he has showu that the provisional government \vas the j result o! a conspiracy between a ‘ few wealtby and arabitious citizens. denizens and aliens, and theminister rosident, representing the United States. Members of tbe provisional government ! were examined, und made this perfectly plain. The tel!ows who sought to overthrow the monarchy \vere ne:irl3' a!l oflicial beneficiaries of that goverument, who thougth they could get more out of a new regime than was for thera in the existent order. They iepresented little besides theraselves and their ambitions. They are not bad men, as men go, but they have resorted to the most • arrant deception to carry their poiut. All tbis knaverv. all the luJicrons cowarJice of the junta calleJ “the coraraittee of safety; ’ all the rascality of S*evens anJ : his nasty treacherv, \vould been | huUen frora the light, had the 1 annexation schome succeeded. We sav thev are not peculiarly » • ! baJ, because we see they have | Joue very mueh as mo3t revo!ui tionists have Jone in the past; but the Uuited States owes it to itself to clear its skirls of eomplicitv iu this movemeut. It ean on!y do this by undoingwhat was accomplished Jau. 14, 1893. by a gross misuso of its diplomatic inAnenee anJ its military power, at Honoluiu. Tbis shouU be done, though it required ten tiraes the force to restore the status quo ante, that \vas uulaw- ■ fully useJ to proJuce that eondition. —Chatta noo>ja Times.
