IRON THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF TIE TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON June 4.-The policy of Gen. Grants
Administration in dealing with Mexican questions
cannot be said to have been vigorous An APP
parent desire to avoid all complications with that
republic and to adjust all questions that with
out resorting to force indulging IN threats
caused the Government more than one occasion
to overlook occurrences which ought to have been
officially noticed, and TO excuse the Mexican Gov
eminent under circumstances in which other
nations would probably have been held to
strict account. One reason for dealing thus
lenently with the Mexican Government
sympathy for it in its internal troubles
and tho desire to show friendly dis
position by not embarrassing it at times when it had
its hands full ut home. Several times when ont
RACES on the Rio Grande became numerous or
more atrocious than usual the Administration was
aroused, and Secretary Fish wrote sharp dis
patches TO representative in the City of Mexico,
but in most Instances some little act by the Govern
ment Of that republic such one or two arrests OF
Mcxicans, or the release of American citizens I'M
Justly imprisoned or the relief OF an American mer-
chant from a forced loan, was received as nGlca-
ton of the desire of Mexico to observe her interna-
tona obligations and the correspondence generally
came to an abrupt termination. But nothing Of
substantial character ever resulted from these
ceptional vigorous acts OF the Administration. A.
soon as an explanation b. the Mexican Government
was made and accepted by the authorities at Wash
mgtOn the Illegal acts complained Of were generally
repeated and citizens Of Mexico were rarely if ever
punished for their participation IN them.
OF all men now in public life Congressman Schlc-
cher representing the San Antonio District of Texas
is probably more familiar with Mexican affairs than
any Other. He has remained in Washington since
the close of the session of Congress and he has not
only brought 20 the attention Of the President many
matters which he believes require immediate ac-
lion. but has given both to NJ Hayes and Score ary
Evarts, some important and Interesting -uCscslious
touching general policy which he thinks ought 10
be adopted in dealing with 80 Xcan questions in
general. One very important fact he believe. las
almost been lost sight Of by all former administca
tons in dealing with ihc Mexican question and that
is that the welfare OF neshboriIg republics on the
American continent, the preservation OF peace in
and among them, anl their advancement in the
arts of civilization arc of the most vital im-
pOrtanee To rs rs nation, and impose
upon the United States certain duties and
obligations which have never vet been fully recog-
nized. The Acceptance % the Monroe doctrine Of not
