country from Holland is alluded to.
The President hopes that Congress will
60 something. So do we Discrimi-
nation is one Of The worst Of evils and
J stentialiy so, when applied to political
economy.
Tho President. then takes up the
SICK man. and complains of the in
security Of life in Turkey, and speaks
Of correspondence with the Porte lsok-
ing 10 the better protection of the lives
of American citizens in that country.
Tho murderer Of the family Of DR.. JUS
tn VI. Parsons, has not YET been ex-
ecuted. although this Government had
repeatedly demanded that exemplary
justice be done. Turkey seems to be
tae 1ete aoirs Of European diplomacy,
Int, we don't think we should~trouble
ourselves about it, Say to American
citizens who g~o,abfoad, Turkey is not
Il safe place TO meander in, then if they
go there viii no complications arise
with foreign diplomats. We have our
Monroe doctrine let ushus the delusion
and keep out Of foreign waters.
The President has instructed III
agents in Switzerland, both consular
and diplomatic, to protest against the
shipment of paupers and criminals from
some of the communes of that Govern
ment to this country. Through the co.
operation Of the Commissioners of En-
igration at New York, these useless
citizens are sent back in the same steam
er that brings them. A wise plan.
Tic swiss authorities should be vigil
liant in this matter, more especially as
it is row soliciting the good offices of
our Government for the better protec-
ton of Swiss citizens in such countries
where there are 10 Swiss representa-
tiyes. Then follows a few lines upon
the treaties for the regulation of con-
sular privileges concluded with Roum-
ania and Servia since their admission
into the family Of nations.
a paragraph embodieS our relations
with Mexico, and says oar friendly re-
lations lave been maintained. The
opening of Mexico to railway enterprise
is touched upon. The President posi-
bly, had General Grant in his mind
when lie penned that line aid suggests
the application of means to prevent the
fogays OF the reservation Indians on
either side of the Rio Grand. Mexico
is geographical ours, and as the army
of 1886 was advanced by tic 5 gnilicant
dispatches from Point Isabel and Ma
tamoras ''the army Ct observations
1.-THE army of occupation" "tle army
of invasion; so now i'll 1882 Railroad
will do tie same thing. The neignlor.-
ing STAGES of Central America have
preserved international peace, and tlsir
anpard relations towards us have been !
those of intimate. Their iaUdrd ap-
pearanee Mr.. President is what we are
afraid Of. We don't risk our ducats
on the good intentions of the average
Central American, who looks with en-
Wy and distrust upon the crawling, push
ing and cfowding movements Of his
northern neigibor, and his mind is still
burthened with memories of walking
expeditions. Go slow Mr.. President
on the good intentions of Central Amer
leans.
While on this tack the President con
graduates the country IN the fact that
through our good offices, the boundary
dispute between Guatemala and Mex
leo has been happily adjust ed to the en-
inent satisfaction Of both Governments.
.'The Costa Rican Government lately /
formed an engagement with Columbia
for setting by arbitration the bounda-
~ question between these countries,
providing that th9 post of arbitrator
should be offered excessively te the
King Of the Relgians, tho King Of
Spain aud The President Of the Argen-
tine Confederation. The King Of the
Belsians has consented to act, but /
am not as yet advised Of the action OF
the King Of Spsin.p Ii this question
is lett TO the determination of Leopold
of Belgian, The conclusion will be wise
and equitable. We know the callbre
of the Belgian monarch. He is every
inch a man, and a statesman of large
views, and came from . royal stock in
decent. His fathers hrst wife, his
mother, was a daughter of Louis Phil
lippi OF France.
A TOUCH or THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
We give the full text OF the Presi-
dents view on the Panama Canal, as
it is of too Vital Importance to be
scanned. The Monroe doctrine has a
clouded future, and viii in time we
have no donbt be one of the causes
that will involve ns,in q general Euro
peUn war, as ii Columbia through tor
tign macliualigls should insist upon
u foreign allan ., TINS forming a par
~ to the canal project aud if we in
sist OH a sustain ng Of our compact of
1886, there may oe cloud in the in
t~einotional horl1en at no distant day.
The President i eminensly correct. Ii
is a question of grave Importance"
"The questions growing out Of the
proposed inte oceanic waterway
across the Isthm S OF Panama are Of
grave national Importance. This Gov
eminent has NOT been unniudful Of the
solemn obligations imposed upon it by
its compact Of 1876 with Columbia, the
independent and sovereign mistress of
the territory crossed by the canal, and
has sought to render them effective by
fresh engagements with the Colombian
Republic, looking 10 their practicalex-
