The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1895-05-07
A BREEZY SCREED.

Sen. Stewart, Of Nevada, last week
addressed to the President an open
letter that deals with current ques-
tons in breezy and Western fashion
The following is the full text OF the
letter:
Mr.. PRESIDENT: When I last
wrote you 1 did not suppose that l
should be called upon SO soon to re-
new my congratulations for your con-
spicuous bravery in promoting the
policy of the mother country. L did
not then realize that your beneficent
policy extended beyond the extermin-
alton of obnoxious bimetallists and
labors who oppose your Sound money
and safe currency"
But it now appears that your wise
and patriotic statesmanshipis not con-
fl ed to the limits Of sound British
financial policy for the people of the
United States, but includes your COR
dial cooperation in the policy of con-
quest and dominion for the mother
C untry. The joint success of your
self 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 the English
men. Your great and magnanimous
nature will not be disturbed by the
unreasonable complaints of any of
your own countrYmen who continue
to cling to the narrow and unreasona-
bic preiudices which the descendants
of the rebels of 1776 still entertain
against that great and good Govern
ment which is still willing to protect
us, Notwithstanding the i'll will and
ingratitude of our deluded ancestors.
Your exalted position enables you to
see the great advantage of a
CORDAN OF BRITISH NAVAL STATIONS
Guarding our exposed seaports on the
two oceans, and the great security
and commercial advantages the Mic
aragua Canal will afford the British
jurisdiction. Your clear vison spans
the continent and extends to the far
off plains of the Pacific, and you fully
comprehend the complete protection
that the navy of Great Britain, with
headquarters at Honolulu, would be
to the Pacific Coast. The people ofthe
United States will view with much
satisfaction the preparations which
you and Lord Kimberly are making
to present the claims Of the British
and American subjects, who in the in
terest of the mother country conspired
to overthrow the Republican Govern
ment of Hawaii. The fact that the
conspirators were unsuccessful aggra-
Yates the crime of the republic main
tanning its constitutional Government
and furnishes you and Lord Kimberly
amply justification for demanding i'm
possible reparation to make an excuse
for planting the 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. |
GIN carrying out this patriotic pro-
ject you will undoubtedly exercise the
same economy that you did in Mica
ragua and avail yourself Of the kind
ness of Great Britain to-furnish the
ships for the expedition, which will
capture the coveted prize. The object
lesson of your broad and comprehen-
sive craftsmanship is already instruc-
tive. When you have fully secured
the protection of England for our ex-
tended sea coast of both oceans and
the construction of the Nicaragua ca
nal at the expense of the United States
for the benefit of Great Britain your
economy will be appreciated. When !
