OUR DIPLOMACY0 ON TIE CLAYTON
BULHER TREATY.

The dispatch of Mr.. Frelinghuysen on the
Clayton Bulwer Treaty is remarkable pro-
duction. It's authorship is generally ascrlOed
to Mr.. Bancroft Davis, especially because OF
the somewhat tedious and irrelevant discussion
of the Mosquito Coast question which was
under negotiation when he Secretary OF
Legation at London under Abbott Lawrence In
1S49-'5O. 1t is safe to say that but TOR this
accidental service of Mr.. Davis, the living
argument, which really relates to an Inter
oceanic Canal would not have been encum-
bered by discussion which was undoubtedly
dull in its youth and has now grown musty
with age.
1t is singular TO observe how up to the very
point of plagiarism the grounds of objection tc
the Clayton Bulwer Treaty recited by Mr..
Blaine in his dispatch of November last are
repeated in Mr.. Frelinghuysen's paper. AS
matter of curiosity number Of these points
are here appended in parallel columns. In
each the exact idea is repeated with change III
the form of expression which can IN no case be
considered AN improvement on Mr.. Blalnes
original text These instances might be multi
piled if it were worth while. Indeed, if Mr..
Frelinghuysen's dispatch be unravelled and
dssected it will be apparent that on these
points Mr.. Bancroft Davis has really made
only a paraphrase of Mr.. Blaine's carefully
prepared paper on the subject.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1882-06-09

The United states will not

clause looking to the

and viii take no part.
But while thus appropriating the arguments
of Mr. Blaine the dispatch of Mr.. FIelinghuy
sen reaches different cOnclusOn--a conclu-
sion, indeed, which in the opinion of skilled
diplomatsts and publicsts has not shadow CT
foundation to rest upon. Mr. Blaine found
reason for asking Her Majesty's Government to
consent to notifications OF the Treaty. Here
is what Mr.. Blaine said in referring to the
ClaytOn-Bulwer Treaty:
This convention was made than thirty years ago.
under exceptional and extraordinary conditions which
have long since ceased to exiscOndtOns which at best
temporary in their nature, and which can never Do
reproduced The remarkable development Of the United
States on the Pacific coast since that time has created
new duties for this GOVERNMENT and devolved new re-
sponsbies upon IT, the full and complete discharge Of
which requires in the judgment OF the President some
essential notifications in the ClaytonBulwer Treaty
The interests OF Her Majestys Government involved in
this question: In far they may be property judged
by the observation Of friendly POwerare so inconsder-
able in comparison with those OF the United States that
the President hopes REIMBURSEMENT Of the terms of tho
treaty may be reached spirit OF amity and concord
Mr. Frelinghuysen jumps to the illogical con-
clusion that the Clayton Bulwcr Treaty no
longer exists, though he assuredly fails to show
how it has been Terminated. There has never
little short of downright foolishness to presume
that Great Britain will accept that view. In.
deed Lord Granville has plainly declared
within the past four months that Her Majesty's
Government regarded the Treaty as in full
force. Mr.. Blaine regarded the clauses refer
ring to Panama and Tehuantepec as "ObsO-
leten by lack of the treaty stipulations" to
maintain them, and Mr. Freinghuysen repeats
the argument. But beyond all doubt the re-
naming articles of the Treaty are as operative
as the Treaty of Washington. Lord Granville
has Just as much ground for declaring the
Geneva Award invalid as Mr.. Frelinghuysen
has for pronOuncing the Clayton-Bulwer
Treaty "extinct." 1t is childs play TO send
such written nonsense across the Atlantic Mr..
Blaine found in the lapse of time and the change
of circumstances sound reason for asking that
the Treaty be modified Mr.. Frelinghuysen
finds in the same circumstances full reason for
declaring thai the Treaty has ceased to exist.
The most amusing feature Of the whole is
that the same newspapers which roundly
abused Mr.. Blaine for taking such radical
ground against England are now praising Mr..
Frelinghuysen for his master stroke. But after
all they may be right, for in the end Mr.. Freling
huysen proposes to let the whole matter drift,
hoping, Micawber. like, that something will
aturn up" Perhaps it may turn up" too late,
after the strategic points are lost, and the
interests of the United States subordinated if
not absolutely sacrificed.

Some Of the striking workmen in this city
are supporting their demands for higher wages
by statements that deserve attention. The
boilermakers declare that two steamships have
recently returned to port in disabled condi-
ton on account of faulty repairs to their boil
ers made, before they sailed, by non-uniOn
men. In the eyes of the travelling public de-
fectiye boilers are strong arguments in favor
of the return Of competent men to their places

by Mexican crews. The project is to be Ma
tional except 50 far as building the ships is
concerned All this is praiseworthy enterprise
but one of the weak spots at present Is the
determination to have Mexicans as crews and
officers exclusively. SO little confidence Is felt
in Mexican navigators that the managers OF
the Alexandra Line have declined favorable
proposals to transfer their vessels to the Mex
lean flag, the understanding being that Mex
leans should run them.

with all that brilliancy and dash so much adj

the directors of the bank might get heavy

Mr.. Parnell apparently has had hard time
in trying to keep his Irish followers from
breaking away from him, and to prevent the
Liberals from becoming disgusted before Ire
land has had the benefit of their good inten-
tons. His adroitness was subject to great
strain when he undertook, recently, to explain
away the indiscreet points in Mr.. billions
"heartbreakng" speech in defence of boycott
ting Mr. Dillon defended the abuse of this
system Mr.. Parnell defended the use of it,
but did not plainly indicate where use ended
and abuse began. The effect which these
speeches had in Parliament and on the gene
raj public is described in letter from our
regular London correspondent which we pub
lish this morning. 1t is unfortunate that Mr..
DiIlon's speech and Mr.. Parnelrs interpreta-
ton of it seem to bear out so well the theory
that it is part of the campaign of the Irish
leaders that Mr.. ParneD shall address soothing
language to members of Parliament, while Mr..
Dillon and others utter their intammatory
words for the ear of the Irish public.

Powers have repeatedly
united in agreements such
as guarantees OF neutrality
touching the political con
ditiOn Of States like Lux

erland, and parts OF the
Orient, where tho local
tiles were adjacent or
where the interests in

niZing these facts, the
United States has never
offered 10 take part in such
agreements or 10 make
any agreements supple
mentary TO them.
While thus observing the
strictest neutrality with

The Government and peO-
pie of tho the United states
though ricu IN land and
industry were poor In
money and floating capital
in 1850. The scheme for n
canal, even without the
complications Of the Mos
quito prOtectorate, was too
vast for tho means OF the
Americans OF that day,
who numbered then con
siderably less than one-half
Of their numbers to-day.
They went TO England,
which had what they had
not, surrendered their ex-
elusive privileges, offered
an equal share Of all they
had In those regions Ia or

seventh article OF the
treaty, THAT no time
should be unnecessarily Lost
in commencing and con-
structing tho said canal"
Through no fault OF theirs

The President does not
think that the United
states are called upon by
any principle of equity to
revive those provisions OF
the Clay ton-Bulwer Treaty
which were specially APP
plicable to the concession
OF August, lS49, aud apply
them 10 any other conces-
sion which has been since
or may hereafter be- made.

are not those OF 1852.

States have now abundance
OF surplus capital for such
enterprises, and have no
need to call upon foreign
capitalIsts.
