! VERY SARCASTIC LETTER.
It is Written by Senator stewart to Presi
dent CleveIand-The Latter is COngratu
lated on His Bravery in Assisting En-
gland In the Nicaragua Affair.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-Senator Stew
art yesterday gave to the press the fol
lowing open letter, addressed to the
president:
Mr.. President-When last wrote you, die
not suppose that should be called upon so soon
TO renew my congratulations for your conspicu.
GUS bravery in promoting the policy Of the
mother country. l did not then realize thai
your benehcient policy extended beyond the ex.
termination Of obnoxious bi-metalllsts and the
pestiferouS farmers and laborers who oppose
your sound money and safe currency. Built now
appears that your wise and patriotic states
manship is not confined to the limits OF q sound
British financial policy for the people OF the
United States, but includes your cordial CO.
operation In the policy OF conquest and domin'
ion fer the mother country.
The joint success OF yourself and Lord Kim
berly in planting the British flag and extending
British rule over Nicaragua Is admired and ap-
plauded by every loyal subject of the queen,
and will secure for you the love and respect OF
all true Englishmen. Your great and magnAn-
imous nature will not be disturbed by the un-
reasonable complaints Of any Of your own
countrymen who continue to cling to the mar
row and unreasonable prejudices which the de-
scendentS of the rebels Of l776 still entertain
against that great and good government, which
is still willing to protect US, Notwithstanding
the ill-will and ingrattude Of our deluded an
0estors.
Your exalted position enables you to see the
great advantage Of Gordon Of British naval
stations guarding our exposed Seaports on the
two oceans and the great security and CONNER
cal advantages the Nicaragua canal will afford,
under British jurisdiction.
The people OF the United States win view
with much satisfaction the preparations which
you and Lord Kimberly are making to present
the claims of the British and American sub
jects who. In the interest Of the mother country,
conspired to overthrow the republican govern
ment OF Hawaii. The fact that the conspirators
were unsuccessful aggravated the crimes OF the
republic In maintaining its constitutional gov
ernment and furnishes you and Lord Kimberly
ample Justification for demanding impossible
reparation to make an excuse for planting the
British flag and extending British rule over the
only remaining outpost In the Pacific where
military establishment by an unfriendly power
would menace the commerce of the United
States.
In carrying out this patriotic project you will
undoubtedly exercise the same economy that
you did in Nicaragua and avail yourself of the
kindness of Great Britain to furnish the ships
for the expedition which will capture the COW
eted prize. The object lesson Of your broad and
| comprehensive craftsmanship is already in
structive. When you have fully secured the
| protection Of England for our extended sea-
| coast on both oceans and the construction OF
| the Nicaragua canal at the expense Of the Uni
ted States for the benefit Of Great Britain your
ecoAomy will be appreciated.
The union ofinterests which you have secured
between Great Britain and her once rebellious
colonies shows the folly Of an expensive foreign
| policy In dealing with the mother country when
| all our material interests can be so well pro-
tected by her own generous imperial power
| Although the policy Of relying on British states
manship is not new, you have enlarged, Illus
trated and carried into effect that policy in such
manner as TO make the American people
! realize that the sovereign power to coin money
| and maintain financial power Of our own is
inconsistent with that brotherly love and cor.
dial submission which we owe to the country
that gave birth to our ancestors, and 10 whose
! fostering care we are indebted for life, with
! such liberty as the mother country will gra-
: ciously bestow
| Your bold and vigorous action In carrying
into effect the instructions which our delegates
received from the mother country established
! beyond controversy your courage and your fidel-
ity to our benefactors on the other side OF the
| Atlantic. The miserable suggestion that youl
/ policy is dictated by London syndicate o
money changers, is fully answered by the fact
that the people Of England are subject to the
same dictaton and that what IL good enough
for Englishmen must be good enough for theil
unworthy descendants on this side Of the At
| lantic.
There is great promise for glorious future
for the United States in what you have already
accomplished In securing British protection
against all foreign powers, particularly agains
the powerful and hostile republics OF Mexico
I and South America and also In securing he
majesty's management and control a our do
nestle policy.
Do not be discouraged by the crazy clamor'
Of unthinlSing "cranks" for an Independent
financial policy or an independent foreign polio!
for the United States, but continue TO regart
such unreasonable contentious as resulting from
narrow prejudice, engendered by such rebels
fanatics and anarchists as Washington, Jeffer
son, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Lincoln ant
their deluded followers. Cease to be astonishet
at the unreasonable opposition OF the senate t,
your beneticient policy, and continue TO trea
with contempt the transformations Of imprope
motives In discounting bonds to the Rothschild
to secure protection and prosperity for our be
loved country.
