United States has no jurisdiction over
the Behring Sea outside Of the Marine
League limit. This viii afford fine op-
portunity for the display of that "yigor-
GUS foreign policy which was so con
spicuous and beautiful TO contemplate
before Secretary Blaine took the state
portfolio.
One year ago the country was ringing
with eloquent prophesies concerning the
manner in which Mr. Blaine would hold
the great powers Of the earth up to scorn
and ridicule, and make the smaller powers
rattle around to get out Of his way like
frightened barn yard fowls.
The great campaign orators, who are
now occupying lucrative positions under
the administration, and newspapers,
which have since been muzzled, never
grew tired of disappearing and ridi-
culing the timid policy Of ex-Secretary
Bsyard They never missed an occasion
TO show that ex President Cleveland was
under the baneful influence Of British
gold and that the entire policy of his ad-
ninistraton was dictated from the Court
Of 81. James. Consequently many people
expected that Secretary Blaine would de-
clare war Immediately after the 4th Of
March, 1888, and that this great country
would enter upon the political field as
grand umpire and supreme dictator Of
the affairs of the world
But those little affairs concerning
Hayti. the Canadian fisheries, the
Behring Sea dispute, the autonomy Of
Samoa and the recognition Of Brazil still
remain as state questions in allegiance.
Others with China, Mexico and the South
American states Of equal Importance have
arisen since Blaine took charge.
The vigorous foreign policy has not
been shaken out to the breeze. It hangs
limp and lifeless from campaign flag
pole which has already begun to rot at
the base, to totter aud to show signs OF
falling ANONYMOUSLY at the first high
wind
II is true ex-s Secretary Blaias has suf-
fered from family ailllctioes.
So did MI. Bayard.
There was no immunity for Mr.. Bay.
ard or for Mr.. Pendleton. on account OF
the great personal griefs from which they
both suffered.
| Secretary Blaine has the sympathy Of
the country, but what has become Of his
vigorous foreign policy which the ora
tors aud the newspapers held up to put
Secretary Bayard and ex-president
Cleveland to shame before the country
