Ixjxnos' , Dec. .V The Glebe this afternoon. referring to President Cleveland's message , says : "Mot often has nn American presi dent delivered so statesmanlike u message. It is courageous throughout , und reveals that the president has u strong mind with u dollnltc policy. Ho risks giving offense to thonnmlrois of spread-eagleism by repudi ating n breach of international etiquette. " In reference to Admiral Stuntou's salute of the Mag Hying from u rebel war ship in Hlo do Janeiro and the ndmlralM recall , the Globe says : "This amende to llrazll was followed by very friendly allusions lo Great Britain , much to the distaste ot the Irish Americans , while lurthcr n still smarter rebuff was administered to Hint-section by the unnouni'cnicnt that President Cleveland had resolved to re-establish the stutus quo in Hawaii. That may provo more dinicult , perhaps , than ho seems to consider , but be deserves great credit all the sumo for refus ing to sanction unnoxattonlst proceedings , which undoubtedly went In the teeth ot treaty obligations. ' 'His resolve to do what ho can to carry forward the Nicar.igiui canal under dis tinctly American auspices Is perfectly legit imate. If our enterprising cousins llko to spend money that way they uro perfectly entitled to do so. England can well afford to wish them success. Our commercial in- terjsU would not sutTcr , .but very much the contrary , wore u short cut to the Pacific provided instead of u long voyage nround the Horn. Of course , the situation would b wholly different wcro the United States lo rasn-vo the canal to the exclusive use of Amcrlc n .shipping. But the president guarantees that the cannl would be equally open to the ships of ull nations. " 'I he Globe nlso remarks thut u matter deserving the attention of the world is that u dclicit of 5,000,000 or . 0.000,000 looms in sight and attributes this fact to an Inflated currency , to the McKlnlcy bill and to silver purchases. "Thut , " the Globe continues , "tho Americans will easily bo able to bear this additloual burden docs not require proof j but it will strengthen the cause of prolcc- tlon. Mr. Cleveland Is happily courageous in facing the dllllcultics and if ho is able to give effect to his statesmanlike scheme the United States will ho on the -high road to free trade. " Frank nnd Honest. The Pall Mull Gazette hails the president's message us a good departure , saying : "Pres ident Cleveland's frauIt , honest statement regarding Hawaii may well cause ox-Presi dent Harrison to hide his head In order lo hide his blushes. It is evident that Mr. Cleveland , like most American politicians , still hankers after bimetallism. Ilo shows to the best advantage when talking of the tariff , nnd practically announces his fnith in the principles of free trudo. But the battle begun , to have McKlnley back and his tariff in force would bo u disaster to the United Stutes nnd to the trade of the world. " Tne St. Jambs' Gazette says President Cleveland's tone toward foreign states con trasts agreeably with that adopted by his predecessors uud himself. The paper adds : 'It is enough that ho is now courteous to us and scrupulously fair to Brazil imd Hawaii. Whether the unlucicy royal fumily of Honolulu lulu will bo unv hotter oil for the president's disavowal of Minister Stevens und his ucts Is an inquiry which need not bo pursued. The most , remarkable passages of the mes sage uro those devoted to the tariff und financial position. " The St. .Tames1 Gazette applauds President Cleveland's courage. \VAS"BKAVE. .
