WHAT THEY SAY IN LONDON.
Comments of the English Journals on th
Presidents Message.

Comments of the English Journals on the
Presidents Message.
London, Decem ber S.-Commenting
upon President Cleveland's message, the
Standard says: "It is marked with
strong common sense and deserves the
serious study of European peoples
The Standard is of the opinion that the
message will excite bitterness in Spain,
which country nevertheless must MAKE
up it's mind to listen to friendly counsel.
Spaniards may be excused if they deteot
a tone of menace. The condition OF CUBA
will not induce impartial observers to
say the menace is unwarrRDted.
The paper dwells on Mr.. Clevelaud's
pointed assertion of the Monroe doctrine
in the paragraph reading. Whatever
ciroums tances may arise. our policy and
our interests would constrain us to OBJECT
to the acquisition of the island or any in
terference with it's control by any 9th er
power.' 1t sees in this the intention OF
the United States to claim virtual pro-
| tectorate over the American continent
and islands. This is adds is bold policy
| that is not quite free from danger, AS
Spain is not the only power with which
the United States might thereby become
| EN- broiled The Standard refers to the
| passage relative to the satisfactory ending
of the Venezuela dispute, and says the
dingified language of the message where
it refers to Turkey, shows the Powers
that they can be assured of the cordial
support of the United States i'll execut-
ing corrective measures in that country.
The Daily News says it is chiefly i'm
pressed by the section of the message re-
| ferring to Cuba. 1t admits that meri-
cans cannot be permanently indifferent
to the disastrous condition of ths island,
but says that while the Intentions OF
President Cleveland and Secretary OF
State Olney may be every way good, Eu-
| rorean opinion is not favorable to the
latest version Of the Monroe doctrine.
Spain will have influential support if
she holds out agairst it. The continen-
tai press has become very sensitive on
the subject nf American pretensions, and
the message is likely to meet with sharp
comment. Lord Salisbury is thought
to have yielded too much to the Vene-
zuelan matter and there would be many
voices urging Spain not to yield 1t
is to be hoped that they will not prevail.
Autonomy would be the best thing for
the Cubans az it would also be for
Spain.
The Chronicle says the alternative for
Spain is either to satisfy the Cubans or
have Cuba taken from her forcibly.
The responsibility viii remain with the
United States.

A TRIFLE SPITEFUL.
Henry Watterson Rakes Cleveland
Over Goals.
INTERVIEWED TO EXTENT OF
PAGE BY ST. LOUIS PAPER.

Language Used Rather That of Brawler
Says Cleveland Has No Business to
Study Law or Try to Make Money.
Louisville, December 1.-THE Anse iger,
German daily. contained page inter-
view with Henry Watterson this morning
in which the Courisr-Journal's editor
hauled President Cleveland over the
Goals.
After expressing the opinion that the
* President ought always in his action
30 have respect for the great distinctio
conferred upon him, Mr.. Watterson
said: cit was for example scandalous,
in my opinion, that Grover Cleveland,
as ex-President, practiced law in the
Supreme court of the United States, two
of the judges of which had been appoint
ed by him. The American people pay
their President SO liberallyfthat 1T should
not be necessary for him, after his return
to private life, to exert himself to earn
money.
Continuing, Mr.. Watterson said that he
was under obligations to Cleveland for
opposing his nomination at Indianapolis.
He had never expected to accept the no.
mination, so Cleveland did him a real
kindness by his opposition. When asked
whether he had read that in certain CIR
oles there was talk of the nomination
of Cleveland in 1900, Mr.. Watterson said:
"No, I have not read that. do not
need the assistance of the newspapers to
know that Grover Cleveland will be
Presidential candidate as long as he lives.
The Presidency suits the man exactly.
If he lives to be hundred years old he
will never cease to be a candidate.

ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.l

Washington, December 1.-THE House of
Representatives of the Fifty-fourth Con-
gress met this noon to begin its second
session. The formaiities of the opening
are neither very extensive nor very i'm
pressive A committee Is appointed to
notify the President of the United States
that the House Is assem- mbled and ready
for business. A similar com nlittee is
also sent to the Senate. This done there
is nothing to do but to await the appear
ance of the messenger Of the President.
In the Senate the formalities are some
what similar. After proper interval of
time the well-known figure of Mr..
Pruden appears at the entrance of the
house and announces that he is the
bearer of "message in writing from
the President. This message is at once
borne to the desk of tbs Speaker, the seal
is broken and the document is given to
the reading clerk to be read to the house.
Usually this annual message is very long
and its reading takes up all there is of
the legislative day. In one case, how
ever. Presidents message was very
short document. This was the famous
tariff message of Mr.. Clsveland's first
administration, whence have arisen SO
many woes and SO little real satisfaction
for anyone.
But it would be mistake to suppose
that the opening of the AHouse is dull
proceeding simply becaus the formalities
are Dleagre, There is always large
audience; and large audi ence In the
hall of the House is big absolutely as
we'll as relatively. As favorite leaders
appear there is applause, especially If
they. have been remembered by friends
with floral gifts, which are always dis
played with no little ostentation by the
pages having theM in charge The
tentioD, and especially was this so today
when Mr.. Reed took the chair. The
Repu blicans of the House feel an especial
warmth of sentiment towards Mr.. Reed
because they realize how much his course
last Summer contributed to the magnif-
He was Speaker, with all the vast power
of that office: and he was also candi-
date for the Presidency, presuma bly, If
not actually, with all the intense long
ings for the office which are supposed to
go with that am bition. An unsorupu-
loua, or q reckless or an unwise leader
might have used the Office to further his
Presidential aspirations, and either in
his suocess or his failure have dealt his
party blow from which recovery could
have come only through years. Mr.. Reed
took the course which left the party In
splendid condition for the fight, when at
a late hour 1t was summoned to an un-
expected and doubtful conflict for an
issue that was not expected when he as
suIned the gavel at the opening of the
Fifty-fourth Congress. For this, as we'll
as for the memories of many other bat
ties well-fought, he was received with
unusual demonstrations today.
