The New York "Times" on BIasne's Eet.
New York, October 26th.-The Times
says of Blaine's letter: "Itssems to rs that
the ground upon which Blaine now puts the
American position is impregnable, and that
| any action of the European powers seeking
to substitute their political guarantee for
ours may fairly be considered unfriendiy.
The case would be somewhat analogous TO
our furnishing guarantee to Egypt, in case
it had been asked, and we had the physical
force TO establish it, for the Suez Canal. The
instincts and the goodsepse of our country have
always restrained it from intruding in any way
into the agreements or European powers
for the neutrality OF business highways in the
old world, where their interests are supreme,
while ours are comparatively slight It
would be but reciprocal action for the Eu-
ropean powers, IN like manner, to iatrust to
the United States the preservation of neu-
trality on an lsthmus 80 near its own domain.
All this leaves aside the antiqaated notions
of slnm oratory that this country could not
permit European power to gain new foot
hold on this hemisphere, ON the ground that
it is our manifest destiny to some day annex
it all for ourselves.
