February day, handsome young man,
wrapped in an expensive travelling rug,
was curled up dejectedly on a seat as
near as possible to one of the steam
radiators. A brusque. dashing young
fellow, grip and umbrella in hand,
hurrying through. gave a sweep of his
keen gray ewes calculated to take in
any picturesque study ofgirlish beauty,
which Inadvertently included the re-
clining figure with the sealskin cap
pulled down 20 hide as far as possible

two, turned abruptly, and going back,
said:

AS TO NICARAGUA.


Editor of The Tribune.
Sir; / see In the edition of our best
evening paper quite II sensational appeal
for Uncle Sam to violently interfere with
the collecting by England of certain
claims against Nicaragua-all this by rea-
son of the Monroe doctrine The doctrine
aforesaid Is certainly correct In principle.
1t ought to be maintained and enforced
by any and every American admnistra-
tlon. On this point we all agree. But on
the other hand Is 1t proper and fair TO
prevent friendly power Ike England
from collecting claims which are certainly
well founded, though perhaps somewhate
excessive? British subjects ana even a
British consul, have been roughly and un-
tremendously handled by citizens Of this
petty Central American government. But
England never allows any such encroach-
ments on the rights and dignity of her
subjects abroad. In fact, 1t would be well
for US to follow the example which the
cabinet of Saint James sets us in cases OF
this kind. But, alas! for a grand and
glorious nation, we are so proverbially
lax and Indifferent regarding the dignity
and safety of our citizens abroad that /
am not surprised to see morbid public
sentiment Inv the United States in favor OF
Nicaragua in the present case.
If we are TO insist that England shall
not collect a claim just in principle, then
let us guarantee the debt to the Saint
James cabinet and run the risk of col
lecting it ourselves. In other words, if
we are to allow all the turbulent and
troublesome citizens of the republics Of
South and Central America to hide un-
der the ample wings of the American
eagle, it Is our duty also to prevent an in
justice being done n great and noble ma
ton from whom we have received our
best blood and whose mother-tongue Is
our own. Sensa tionalism is neither senti-
ment nor patriotism, and fairness is the
hest of policies for states as well as IN
dividuals. Let us be fair with England
and then force her If need be 20 be fair in
her turn. That is, after she collects her
claims let our too cowardly state depart
ment insist upon the immediate eyacUa-
tion of Nicaraguan soil. Sull, so sensible
and patriotic step is hardly to be expect
ed from a government that has attempted
to assassinate one republic and which
may yet permit another to be gobbled up
Let us hope, however, for the best.
Yours truly,
Daniel b. Strong.
