GOV. IRELiND'S POSITION
ON THE CUTTING AFFAIR pLAIN.
LY STATED BY HIMSELF.
He Fayors Peace, but Not at the Ex'
pense Of the COuntry's
Honor.

NKw YORK, August lS,-Tbe Herald
has the folio wing dispatch from Gov.
Irelend, OF Texas:
AUSTIN, TEX, August II, 1886.
To the Editor Of the Herald;
You ask my views OF the Gut ing
case. Cutting has never applied TO
me. 1t may be conceded, II necessary,
that Cutting has been legally con-
yicted under Mexican law, but the
people and Government Of the United
States can never submit to such rule
OF law. Every editor and every other
person who writes or prints matter in
the United States obnoxious to the
views Of Mexican courts can at any
time when found in Mexico be ar
rested and punished, as Cutting has
been. The person OF Cutting IS not
involved. Surely our government
has not made an idle demand. No
one wants war, and l trust no one
wants peace at the expense OF national
honor and the right OF an American
citizen, The only way 10 avoid war
is t. be ready for il, and show will
ingness t. accept 1t If II must be. Out
RACES have gone far enough and have
been numerous.
