Patriotic, American.

Inc SpeCldl mcsSdSo VI Ii0oi-
dent Cleveland to Congress Tues
day, regarding the Venezuelan
boundary dispute, and the atti-
tude of Great Bretain, in refusing
to arbitrate the matter, is truly
patriotic and Americon. The mes
sage was received in both bran
,ches of Congress with applause
and enthusiasm. The step taken
by the President, and his recon-
mendatien to Congress regarding
this dispute is approved by every
American.
The Monroe Doctrine has be-
come an American principle that
the American people will have re-
spectsd even at the muzzle of thus
musket if need be.
The Presidents able and patrio-
tic message conclude as follows;
Assuming, however, that the
attitude of Venezuela will remain
unchanged, the dispute has reach
ed such a stage as to make in now
incumbent upon the United States
to take measures to determine
with sufficient certainty for it's
justification what is the true divi-
sional line between the Republic
of Venezuela and British Guiana.
The inquiry to that end should of
course be conducted carefully and
judicially, and due weight should
be given to all available evidence,
records and facts in support of the
claims of both parties.
In order that such an examina-
ton should be prosecuted in a
thorough and satisfactory manner,
/ suggest that the Congress make
an adequate appropriation for the
expenses of a commission to be
appointed by the Executive, who
shall make the necessary investi-
cation and report upon the matter
with the least possible delay.
When such report is made and ac-
copied it will, in my opinion, be
the duty of the United States to
resist by every means in its power
as willful aggression upon its
rights and interests the appropri-
alton by Great Britain of any
lands or the exercise of govern
mental jurisdiction over any terri
tory which, after investigation, we
have determined of right belong
TO Venezuela. In making these
recommendations / am fully alive
to the responsibility incurred, and
keenly realize all the consequent
ces that may follow.
