The Nicaraeuan Treaty Again

Mr.. Frelinghuysen's letter defending
the action of the State Department in ne
gotiating the Nicaraguan treaty, Which
has just been made public, contains sew
eral points that are worth more than
passing notice. 1t is probable that the
defeat of the treaty in the Senate was
largely due to the belief that it violated
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty.
To this point Mr.. Frelinghuysen de-
votes considerable attention. He con-
tends, first. that this country is 40 longer
bound by the ClaytOn-Bulwer treaty, be-
cause England violated it years ago by
converting settlement OF licensed
wood-cutters, under Spanish-American
jurisdiction, into "a political appendage
OF the British Government"
But admitting that the treaty is st II in
full force, Mr.. Frelinghuysen claims that
it contains no provision that would be
violated by the construction Of the canal
in accordance with the terms of the Mica
raguan treaty.
The ClaytOn-BulweT treaty, Mr.. Ere
linghuysen contends, was principally ln-
tended to guarantee protection to the
capital of private citizens Of the contract
ing nations that might undertake the
construction of a canal across Nicaragua.
Ii has no reference whatever to such an
arrangement as that proposed in the
Nicaraguan treaty. Under that treaty
no private capital is to be invested.
Mr.. Frelinghuysen also insists that the
provisions of the Clay tOn-Bulwer treaty,
with respect to the canal control, are not
violated by the Nicaraguan treaty, be-
cause the latter treaty does not give to
this country exclusive control of the terri
tory that will be traversed by the pro-
posed canal. Under the treaty this cOun-
try will not fortify, occupy, cOlOnize or
assume to desire domain over any part of
Central America.
The only point, says Mr.. Frelinghuysen,
in which the two treaties could be con-
sidered in conflict is the absence in the
Nicaraguan treaty OF a provision for adj
hitting other powers to participate in an
agreement to secure neutrality and pro-
lection for the canal after its cOnstrUc-
ton. He does not, however, deem that
this is a point of Importance.
Mr.. Frelinehuysen evidently thinks
either that the NicaragUan treaty is not
finally defeated or that his action in ne
gotiating it needs defending. Otherwise
he would not have published letter of
the kind that he has at this time.
Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1885-03-04

Mr.. Cleveland is in Washington, and
to-day will be inaugurated President.
Miss Cleveland, his sister, is with him,
AMI will he installed as mistress OF tue
White House.
The lives of these two people illustrate
Ia an eminent degree the possibilities In
this country for rising from Obscurity in
a few years to the highest political and
social positions
Five wears ago Mr.. Cleveland's ambi-
ton perhaps did not aim so high as the
Governorship of New York. If he had
permitted himself TO think Of the Presi-
dency as within his reach he would have
smiled at himself doubtless a moment
afterwards for indulging in such wild
day dream. What reason had he to hope
to secure that which so many great
men hsd vainly spent the best years of
their lives IN trying to attain? And yet
the great prize came to him almost un-
sought and before he had passed the
prime of life. He is. indeed, the most
fortunate of men, if man can be con-
sidered fortunate whose life is burdened
with great cares and responsibilities.
And Miss Cleveland The change for
her is even greater than for Mr.. Cleve-
land. A few short months ago she was
filling acceptably the position OF lecturer
in some of the leading female schools of
New York. The position Of mistress of
the White House was, perhaps, the fur.
thest thing from her thoughts. She was
content, doubtless, with her busy, useful
life. 1t is probable that the new life that
is opening to her brings her no pleasure.
The gayeties OF the capitol, and the homage
of diplomats, statesmen and the leaders
of fashion have, it may be, but few charms
for her.
1t is with feeling of pride IN our insti-
buttons, however, that we recognize the
fact that the man who will be
President to-day, and the woman who
will be mistress Of the White House for
the next four years, although they have
had but little preparation, are fully
equipped for the high positions they are
about to occupy. Mr.. Cleveland is certain
to fill the great office of President as CON-
pIetely as he filled the GoveTnOrship of
New York, and Miss Cleveland will,
| doubtless, rank with the ladies who have
won fame as mistresses Of the White
House
