WASHINGTON. Ma ch 1875
The new administration is nnw.f ,rl,
launched and is runnin. the 'nati'na
machine and getting ready TO formulate
Il policy. Its first move in that direci',
will be felt in the Nicaagunu treaty
nov withdrawn from the Senate. "W,
could and wnuid-have ratified tina,
treaty before this" said IL very pron,i
nent Republican Senator, "but ou'
Democratic friends said that they
wish.d t. give Mr. Cleveland and lis
new administration a chance t" start in
with purely Democratic policy, that
should tc America for Americans. TIL.
legislative bodies of Nicaragua ratified
that treaty, in lite Of the pressnr
brought Ivy the French under Lessepe
aud his contractors and the unfricnGl
iunuence Of Guatemala. The operators
III the Paris Bourse predicted tw,,
months ago that Panama C;.nal stocks
would decline 20 per ce"t. on the news
Of the ratification by America OF the
Nicara.Ian treaty. Small wonder is it
tlleu that the stnck-uwners Of l.ula,n,
have made ~ hard fight to defeat the
American scheme"
''B, i, it dsfeatedF X asked "a
great deal depend, 0Ou the President"
said the Senator. "Noti,in. has yet
been he:,rI from him that woald indi-
catsi'is wishes or sentiments Mr.. B.-
gard is by naur' Conservative, but |
think he viii see that the Clayton
Ba'wer treaty (which 4a,ay "f the
ab'est men in the D.m ,cr,tic party
held has been ahrosated 10y England
herssl) is not in accord with progress
i've American IDEAS aud sentiments.
Personally Mr.. Hayard stands very high
in the esteem Of his Republican as,o-
ciatcs in the Senate. He was alwx"s
courteous ard careful, and We all had
the utmost rcspec, for ANY statement Of
fact he made ia debate, for We knew il
WAS true"
No.; want to see Mr. Clevelan'i
succeed. All Europe, as we'll rs Ccu,raI
and South Amtrlca, is watching u.
On this cai,ul negotiation, more depends
than is seen at the first glance. If n.
do not build it England will. Our Coz
trnmrnt IN future will need to have II
better aud more positive foreign policy
than ever before. This /, uiade neces-
sary by events. The annexation craze is
spreading among the uati"ns, aud it
will yet close to III before long, you
may depend upon it. Then the six pend
ing treaties will compel the cmmtry t."
adopt some rule touching treaty ques-
tinns and boundaries such is is in har-
mony with our traditions"
