LONDON, Dec. 3.-The newspapers
tomorrow will very generally contain
editorial comments upon President
Clevelands message to congress.
The Graphic says: 1.-THE crudities
and indiscretions of President Cleve-
lands present pronunciamento on for
eign affairs might have been evolved
by the late Mr.. Blaine in his worst
mood. Can anything be more absurd
than the proposal that the Schomberg
line Gn Venezuela) should be submit
ted to arbitration? The reference to
Cuba is infinitely more injudicious. 1t
is virtually an expression of sympathy
with filibuSterers."
The Times.
The Times editorial1y rays: ''Presi-
dent Cleveland has drawn a startling
picture of the difficulties created by
the vicious currency system, and We
should be greatly surprised if the plans
he suggested are not warmly welcomed
by the business men throughout the
states But, flushed by electoral VIC
tories, it is probable enough that the
Republicans will refuse to allow any,
thing to be done in the direction indi-

the message. especially as to foreign
relations, will give the impression that
he is marking time. Nothing he Says

will say: President Cleveland knows
better than to treat the Monroe doc
trine as if it were a rule Of fnterna-
tfonaI law 1t is neither dignified nor
polite for the administration at WASH
ington to take up the quarrels of South
American communities, which do not
observe the usageS of civilized nations.
America will find some day that this
sort of patronage involves a CORE
spending responsibility and they VII!
not like that at all.
The Standard.
The Standard, the Conservative organ,
saws: 1--WE cannot but regret the tone

! Venezuela. If we may Judge Oh lHe
tone and substance of Mr.. Olney's dis
| patch from the paraphrase thus i'm
l'1arted to Congress. we are not sur
prised that no answer has been re-
/ ceived, and we further undertake 10
predict that when the reply reaches
the White house it will furnish the
president with a deal or matter Tor
serious reflection. We must be par
doned if we venture to say that the
whole passage referring to Venezuela
/ Is a tissue of unreal assumptions and
uns1Ipported deductions. If the Amer
leans desire to carry ont the views
thus expressed, they will do so after
\ due calculation of the cost. Even II We
were eager for arbitration, the exper1-
ence of the Boring sea controversy
would hardly encourage US. 1t is moi:
easy to argue calmly when we find that

diced the merits of the dispute But
even strong states have rights, and

The Post.
The Post. Conservative, says: "As
regards Samoa and Venezuela, the mes

which Senator Chandler might approve.
! In regards to Cuba, there are similar
I suggestions of a. disposition to concili-
ate the feelings of popular agitators.
/ These things are incidents of every
presidential campaign and President

to Them
The Chronicle.
An editorial in the Chronicle says:
eft is very doubtful if Congress will
accent President Cleveland's currency
plan. The message sounds cautious,
but there is a welcome note in the
direction of free trade. The reference
To Armenia must be regarded as the
definite adherence to the United States
to European concert. Few honest crit
i les can say anything against President
iCleyeIand'S references to Venezuela We
agree with him that the boundary dis
pute is eminently suited to arbitration
and undoubtedly our government will
take the same view. II must be re-
membered that this question is quite
distinct from that of the reparation
due us by Venezuela for injuries. When
such PREPARATION is made, every Liberal
in this country will acquiesce in Presi-
dent Cleveland's doctrine Our hands
are full enough, without increasing our
burdens in America. but especially at
the risk of creating a. serious strain
between ourselves and the one great
mower whose friendship is more valua-
BILE to us than all of the others put to-
gether."
The Chronicle concludes its editorial
t. | by asking whether America is ready
to undertake the responsibility thus
incurred for the faithful discharge OF
their obligations by the American re-
publics.
