The national leader., 1889-07-18

Another precedent in our foreign rela-
tions meets the case of the appointment
of Mr.. Douglass as Minister to Hayti, with
a reservation of the formal recognition
of the Government claiming titular sue
cession until it is established, is presented
in the appointment of Mr.. Robert NJ.
McIane as Minister to the Republic OF
Mexico in 1859.
Mexico was at that time in a state of
revolution, in which the treaties of that
country with the United States were in
cessantly violated; the rights of American
citizens disrcgarded, and, indeed, many
were peremptorily seized and shot by the
Government Of MiramOn, one of the revo-
lutionary chiefs, who was attempting to
maintain a government against Juarez,
the other revolutionary leader.
Minister McLane proceeded on his mis-
sion on the Sth of March, 1859, invested
with discretionary authority to recog-
nize the Government of President Juarez,
if on his arrival in Mexico he should find
it entitled to such recognition, according
to the established practice of the United
States"
In consequence, on the 7th of April,
Mr.. McLane recognized the Constitutional
Government by presenting his credentials
to President Juarez, at Vera Cruz, hav-
ing no hesitation, as he said, sin pro-
nouncing the Government of Juarez to.be
the only existing government of the Re-
public" although Miramon at that time
held the capitol, and Juarez was unable
either to subdue or expel him.
If we are not greatly mistaken, the in
structions which will be given to Minister
Douglass upon his departure for Hayti
will be found to correspond very largely
with those received by Minister McLane
in 1859, if the revolution in Hayti will
not have been brought to period before
he starts for his post.
Now, as to the appointment of a Com
mission to visit Hayti, the second thought
of the Administration is its best thought.
A cautious and prudent Minister with
discretionary powers as to formal recog
milton of the Government claiming titular
succession will be able to accomplish
much more in the direction of the particu-
lars set forth in the interview on this
subject that any Commission could have
done.
The appointment and presence of such
a Commission would have implied a
menace and humiliation to the people
of Hayti; and would have been marked
departure from our own policy with re-

cali attention to the more serious errors
of it and endeavor to correct them.
The reporter makes our ex-Minister to
Hayti say:
"Now, here is where Mr.. Blaine was
right in wanting to send a commission to
Hayti, if that was his plan, as said.
Sending minister IS the recognition Of the
goce1nment to rhich 1t Is sent. We do
not know that it is wise to give such rec
ognition to Legitime. We should first
look into affairs there. We should place
the matter in the hands of a trained
diplomat and an able lawyer. We want
to know what the government is and
where it is before recognizing it, A com
mission could very properly ask to know
what Legitime's arrangements with
France are, how much he is indebted to
them for assistance, and how far bound
to the French These inquiries and 9th
ers effecting American interests and the
principles of the Monroe doctrine could
well be made by commission.

some extracts from the correspondence

sharply. Between noon and o'clock
the entire market had very sharp adj

was strong except Oregon Improvement.
There was some good buying and some
cornering of shorts The Boston market
was closed, and London did little. There
is great deal of talk Of combinations in
the Northwest and Southwest by which
certain important roads will be operated
in manner together. Other rumors are
that Gould has taken the aggressive on
the bull side, and his stocks have Ger.
tainly led for two days. The bulls hope
the market has been taken out OF the rut,
at least, and has begun the spring rise.
Ii is likely this week will determine
