A NEW PHASE OF MR.. cLEvELAND's ZEAL


Washington, April 25 (speclal.-The letter adj
dressed by the President TO the United States District
Attorney Boston, In regard to the alleged impora
ton Of foreigners for the purpose of manning American
fishing vessels in the ports Of Gloucester Boston and
Beverly In violation of the contraclabor law, Is ro-
garded hero as eminently Characteristic OF tho man
and quite in the line with the demagogc utterances OF
Mr. Cleveland little more than year ago on the
labor troubles IN the Southwest. The President Is
suddenly seized with frenzied zeal 10 execute the
law and over the heads of his Attorney General and
Secretary Of the Treasury directs an inferior officer
to do his duty. In President who refused to recog
nze the validity of law which empowered him to buy
bonds set matured in open MARKET who persistent
~ closed his eyes to the violation by Federal office
holders Of the Civil Service acts who had no scrupes
to negotiate treaty in direct opposition to the ex-
pressed wishes of practically unanimous Senate and
who Systematically ignored the rctaliatory powers
which Congress had placed in his hands-ths sudden
0utburst Of zeal In the execution of law is refreshngy
novel; 49, .
The question naturally suggests itself; Why didn't
the President think of the existence OF this law long
before and why does he express such sudden concern
for the protection OF tho American fishermen at this
late hcurf
