That element OF the Republican press
which assumes freedom of Thought with.
out regard to the orders Of party bosses
il earnest in demanding that the president
should be strongly supported in the policy
Of retaliation.
The most widely respected and honest
journal Of that party, the Philadelphia
Ledger, declares the message to be "wise,
ststesmanlike and just" and even 30
violent and radical sheet as the Phila-
delphia Inquiiyr, urges consideration of
the question on Its merits alone, and ad.
visss that Congress should do as the pres
ilsnt has asked. OF course there is al
effort to impeach the motives that
prompted the message and to treat 1t rs
mere campaign trick, but the most labored
and unfair attacks fail to shake the logic
Of it, and no journal Of influence has ven
tured to suggest that the Senate should
refuse to support policy Of retaliation.
The Republican senators gave the
floor to their three best men that crush.
ing answer might be made to the scath.
ing arraignment of them implied by the
presidents calm statement OF facts.
Edmunds considered IL an odd busi-
ness and asserted that he would " be
glad intellectually - il the president
would tell him why lie did not stop the
transhipment of fish at once. 1t will ap.
pear to most men an odd business that
the senator does not acquire intellectual
gladness by reading again the statement
of the president that that measure of
retaliation was too petty in Its scope to
have any other effect than the injury of
our own and Canadian commerce.
II we were retaliating merely for the
qualification of the petty spite, so familiar
to the odd gentleman from Vermont, the
attack upon fish shipments would answer
every purpose but we have In all our in.
tercourse with Canada been actuated by
generous neighborly spirit, and do not
propose at present TO snap at her in small
dog fashion. We will simply pick up
this lions cub by the back OF the neck
and hold her there until she realizes how
small and contemplate her conduct has
been. The dignity of the nation de-
mands that, as the president has well
said, the plan of retaliation should be
thorough and vigorous.
Mr.. Blaine declines to express an opir.
i'm on the presidents message. He also
refuses TO talk about trusts, but it any.
body wants to hear how little providence
has done for the country, in comparison
with the marvellous benefits secured to Il
by system of high taxes, James q. Blaine
has lots to say. By and bye when Mr.
Blaine thinks he has caught the drift Of
public opinion he will probably havt
something to say about Canada, tht
treaty and the message.
By the way, the British friends of Mr.
Blaine will probably be heard from, aut
We shall have less silly talk of President
CleveIands friendship for the English
1t Is In order for the New York Jribln
to suggest that Sir Joseph Chamberlain
wrote the last presidential message OF
the fisheries question, as that paper has
claimed to know all along that Sll
Joseph was managing the president.
