OLNEY.s PLAIN DUTY.

Mr.. Olney S ambition to close the
several incidents which have en-
tangled US with foreign governments
before he retires from office arises
no doubt from his conviction that II
Is his duty to repair as far as he may
be able to do so, the mischief wrought
by the administration OF which he
has been u member since il succeeded
to power.
MIR. Olncy cannot reasonably hope
to have his name intellectually writ
in big letters on the scroll OF fame
as IA great diplomat, says the Detroit
Evening Journal, because only once
has he proven himself the man for u
crisis and then the Incorporate tone
of his proclamation bespoke hun an
impulsive. rather than dignitied
statesman. Still he ought to quiet
the turbulent waters which the adj
ministration has troubled in order
To beaueath to the next administra-
ton tranquillized foreign budget,

otherwise provoke war, VIII not be

of civilized mankind, simply because
we already create such tribunals un-

Whether the Venezuela case be
closed or held open for another year
Mr.. Olney has got all the glory out
of it that he will ever get. and as for

Jury he needlessly inflicted upon a
patriotic cause, by negotiating terms
of honorable peace betwiXt Spain
and her oppressed colony. But even
SO much would be accomplished in
the line OF duty and not as an evi-
aence OF his personal sagacity as a
statesman and diplomat.
On the whole, If Olney can inject
any Americanism into Cleveland 5

pie to exhaust his powers IN that

HON. l.. j. PHELPS OPINION.

Hon f, J, Phelps cx-miuister to
England, gives his opinion upon the
recognition of Cuba in the following
language:
Il have no doubt that the position
oi Secretary Omey. as recently pub
hShcd, Is entirely correct The
question what government shall be
recognized in country where an
attempt at revolution is in progress
is certainly for the executive to de-
termine, and not for congress. No
legislation by that body can. under
any provision of the constitution,
decide It. They can, Of coul ST. pass
resolutions upon the subject if thew
please, but they in no resrect can
control the discretion or the action
ot the president Besides no gov

exists.

Dear friends forsake US and we mourn
Their loss, or fortune flies.
or foes with weapons keen assail
A truth or cause we prize.

Does JOY dwell anywhere?
Methinks the nut-brown acorn had
The same doubts as II lay
Buried In earth, so coarse and cold
And dark. day after day.
But life within II could not rest
IL struggled to be free.
With throes OF pain Il burst its bonds.
And To- great oak-treel
Lofty and strong and beautiful.
Its branches spreading wide.
Its green leaves whispering to the breeze
IL stands In power and pride.
And so 20 Us will come a change
More beautiful and grand
Than ever nut-brown acorn knew.
In any CLINE or land.
The God within us cannot rest.
But will at length arise
In might and majesty and power
And bliss. beyond the skies.
Then let US courage take, and strength.
Though rough may be the way.
Each step viii lead us higher on
Towards realms OF perfect day.
