The Nicaraguan Canal.

The Boston Herald is in favor OF
the construction OF the Nicaragua

government to build the canal and

in this suggestion. Some objection
might be made by the government
Of Nicaragua, but if all such OBJ
stacles were out OF the way, 1t would
seem to be the best method OF Sc

the Herald objects have not been
the best in the world, and in the

thing that I'm afraid OF is that
within the next ten years the South
will be so prosperous that lot Of
dirty Yankees will come troopin'
down and tryin' to declare in with
us. We don't want 'em, and, what's
more to the point, we won't have

REPUBLICAN MATTERS.
HIS WORD FOR SUGAR.


President Clevciand's Indefensibiy Auda-
cious Letter to- the House.
President Cleveland's letter was
remarkable for nothing else so much
as it's indefenslble audacity. 1t is
not the first time that he has UNDER
taken the unwarranted liberty OF
meddling with the constitutional
duties OF coordinate branch Of the
government; that he should do so
openly and make his act matter Of
official public record Is to say the
least astounding. Beyond this there
is nothing surprising in the letter.
He makes partisan argument in
favor OF free raw materials and then.
as If merely by incidental mention,
declares in favor Of the senate sugar
schedule.
AS to sugar. as long ago as February
27, he was authoritatively pledged
to the interests OF the trust, even
before the tariff bill had been re-
ported to the senate. On that day
the Democratic senators held u
caucus on the subject, and Senator
White, who had already been APP
pointed and confirmed as associate
justice OF the supreme court, parti-
cipated in its deliberations for the
purpose Of announcing the pres
ident's position towards sugar He
announced that tho president had,
both before and since March 4. 1898.
promised that there should be n duty
on ..both raw and refined" sugars.
He said that he had continued to act
as senator after having been con-
tirmed as associate justice OF the
supreme court Tor the purpose Of
explaining to the caucus the pledges
of the president with regard to
sugar.
So the senators knew where the
president stood on that subject, say i
the Kansas City journal. and the
only purpose he could have had in
handing this letter to Chairman
Wilson was to notify the house that
the sugar schedule had his full coun-
tenance, and to let it DO known by
the senate's conferrees that he would
have them save the sugar trust even
ut the expense OF the iron and coal
trusts.
1t was generally believed in the
best informed circles in Washington
that If an agreement could DO made
on the sugar schedule report could
be made within two days. Mr.
Cleveland undertook to make such
an agreement possible by openly pro-
nouncing in favor of the trust
schedule which was originally writ
ten by the secretary Of the treasury.
