MIR President. When l last wrote you
l did not suppose that | should he called
upon 50 soon 10 renew my consraIuia-
lions for your conspicuous bravery in
promoting the policy OF the mother ooun-
Try. did not then realize that your be
neficent policy extended beyond the ex-
termination Of obnoxious bi-me tallists
and the pestiferous farmers and labor
ers who oppose your sound money and
safe currency" But It nov appears that
your wise and patriotic craftsmanship is
not confined 10 the limits OF sound Brit
ish financial policy for the people OF the
United States but Includes your cordial
cooperation in the policy OF conquest and
dominion for the mother country.
The joint success Of yourself and Lord
Kimberly in planting the British flag and
extending British rule over Nicaragua is
applauded by every loyal subject of the
queen. and will secure for you the love
and respect OF all true Englishmen. Your
great and magnanimons nature will not
be disturbed by the unrea soma ole CON-
plants of any OF your own countrymen
who continue 10 cling TO the narrow and
unreasonable 'prejudiees which the de-
scendants of the rebels of 1716 still enter
tain against that great and good gov
ernmenf. which is still willing 10 protect
us. notwithstanding the ill-wiIl and in
gratitude Of our deluded ancestors. Your
exalted position enabks you 10 see the
great advantage Of a Gordon OF British
naval stations guarding our exposed sea-
ports on the two oceans, and the great
security and commercial advantages the
Nicaragua canal will afford under British
jurisdiction. Your clear vision spans the
continent and extends TO the far-off ISL
ands of the Pacific. and you fully compre-
hcnd the complete protection that the
navy OF Great Britain at Honolulu would
he 10 the Pacific coast. The people Of
the United States will view with much
satisfaction the preparations which you
and Lord Kimberly are making 10 pre-
sent the claims of the British and Ameri-
cans who. in the interest OF the mother
country. conspired 10 overthrow the re-
publican government Of Hawaii The
fact that the conspirator were unsuc-
cessfu aggravated the crime OF the re-
public in maintaining its constitutional
government; and furnishes you and Ioai
Kimberly ample justification for demand
ing impossible reparation to make an
excuse for planting the British flag and
extending British rule over the only re-
naming outposts In the Pacific where a
military establishment BY an unfriendly
power would menace the commerce of the
United States In carrying OUT this pa
frtotic programme you VIII undoubtedly
exercise the same economy that you did
In Nicaragua. and avail yourself of the
kindness OF Great Britain 10 furnish the
ships for the expedition which will cap
ture the coveted prize. The object lesson
of your broad and instructive statesman
ship is already Instructive
W hen YOU have fully secured the pro-
teotion OF England for our extended sea
coast on both sides and the construction
or the Nicaragua canal at the expense of
the United States for the benefit Of Cirea.
