Kansas, City, April sO.-Under
a Washington, D. c.. date the
Journal tomorrow will print a
lengthy and extremely caustic
letter written by Senator Will
liam NJ. Setwart, of Nevada, to Presi-
dent Cleveland, and which has been
mailed to the chief executive. The
letter, which deals principally with
the presidents foreign policy, is. in
part. as follows:
when 1 last wrote you I did not
suppose that 1 would be called upon
so soon to renew my congratulations
for your conspicuous bravery in pro-
noting the policy of the mother coun-
try. The joint success of yourself and
Lord Kimberly in planting the British
flag and extending British rule over
Nicaragua is admired and applauded
by every loyal subject of the queen
and will secure for you the love and
respect of all true Englishmen.
Impossible ReparatiOn.
1.-THE people of the United States will
view with much satisfaction the prep
arations which you and Lord Kimberly
are making to present the claims Of
British and American subjects. who. in
the interest of the mother country.
conspire to overthrow the republican
government of Hawaii. The fact that
the conspirators were unsuccessful ag-
gravates the crime of the republic in
maintaining its constitutional govern
ment, and furnishes you and Lord
Kimberly ample Justification for de-
manding 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.
1.-The object lesson of your broad
and comprehensive craftsmanship is
already instructive. When you have
fully secured the protection of Eng
land for our extended sea coast on
both oceans, and the construction of
the Nicaragua canal, at the expense
of the United States for the benefit of
Great Britain, your economy Will be
appreciated.
Relying on Britains.
although the policy of relying on
bIlIlSn
have enlarged and illustrated and
carried into effect that policy in such
a manner as to make the American
peopIe realize that the sovereign
power to coin money and maintain a
financial policy of our own is incon-
sistent with that brotherly love and
cordial submission which we owe to
the country that gave birth to our
ancestors and to whose fostering care
we are indebted for life with SUCH
liberty as the mother country will
graciously bestow.
''May we indulge in the hope that
yo1r fidelity to the British crown has
secured you such influence as will
enable you to induce the mother coun-
try to take charge of and regulate our
commercial relations in such man
ner as will remove all the unpleasant
and unnatural disagreements between
the two countries with regard 10 tariH
legislation. Why should England be
more unwilling to regulate our Gus
toms dues than to manage our lot
eien relations and to control our fin
ancial polly.
.Do not be discoura ged by the crazy
c1amor of unthinking cranks for an
indenendent financial policy or an IN
dependent foreign policy for the I'M,
ted States. but continue 10 regaIu
such unusual contentious as resulting
from narrow prejudice by such renels'
fanatics and anarchists as Wasnlng-
TON. Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, jack
son Lincoln and their deluded follow
ers. Cease to be astonished at the
unreasonable opposition of the Senate
to your beneficent policy and con-
tinue to treat with contempt the vile
insinuations of improver motives IN
discounting bonds to the Rothschllds
to secure protection and prosperity Tor
our beloved country. Keep an eye
single 70 the glory and renown and the
imnerishable name you will leave to
posterity by achieving a union of 125.-
000. 600 of English speaking people
under the benign and unselfish rule OF
the British crown.
.'Yours respectfully,
s'WILLIAAd NJ. STEWART"
