OUR NEW FOREIGN POLICY.

OUR NEW FOREIGN POLICY.
The Boston Journal thinks it is
the highest and best compliment
which could be paid to the Hon.
Richard Olney that his appoint
ment as secretary of state is now
generally interpreted in Washing
ton to mean that there is to be an
immediate and distinct uplifting of
the foreign policy of the admins
tration, an end to the contemplate
provincialism that has so long con-
trolled it, and a vigorous assertion
of enlightened Americanism.
No greater honor could be rem
dered to anybody in Mr.. Olney's
position than this instructive belief
that he is to be the instrument of
a revival of the spirit of broad ma
tionality. Perhaps this estimate
of the man is mistaken. We hope
not, we would be reluctant to con-
fess it. Mr.. Olney is known in
Massachusetts as shrewd, strong
and independent. He has the sa-
gacity to see that the past course
of Mr.. Cleveland's diplomacy has
disgraced the country and we'll
nigh ruined his party. He has the
courage to state this unwelcome
truth, and to insist upon new de-
parture. It is known that Mr..
Cleveland has deferred to him be-
fore, and it is not at all improba-
bic that he has also carried his
point in this, and insisted upon it
as the first and indispensable condi-
ton of the acceptance of the State
portfolio.
If Mr.. Olney has any familiarity
with Democratic sentiment in his
home state it would vast encour-
age him IN such a line of action.
Nowhere probably in the whole
country has the timorous incom-
potency displayed in all our for
eign affairs from Hawaii to Mic
aragua been more obviously OBJ
noxious to intelligent public senti-
ment than in Massachusetts. Mr..
Olney's party associates in his own
state-the rank and file of them
are not insenslble to the prompt
ings of patriotism. AS a whole,
the maladroit performances of the
state department under Cleve-
lands personal guidance have been
intensely unpopular and largely re-
sponsible for the overwhelming
Republican plurality at last falls
election.
Of course if Secretary Olney
succeeds in Americanizing the di-
plomacy of the Cleveland cabinet,
he will be depriving the Repub-
lican party of some of it's most
valuable political capital. But the
Republicans will not begrudge it.
They ale patriots first and partl-
sans afterward, and as much as
they have gained by the popular
revulsion at each scandalous be-
trayal Of American interests, they
should and would gladly welcome
a policy which promises increased
dignity and strength to the nation.
