In tM. opinion of the New York JournalMnmerce, Mr,- Cleveland's meBsage w Sngess in regard to, Brit ish claiiinanvVenesueja is a '"blemish upon an official career, otherwise un usually free from offence, that will be remembered." On the contrary, we think Mr. Cleveland's action in this case was one of the bravest things he ever did. It was the right thing to do' -and required the exercise of the highest courage. It emphasized in a way that will never be forgotten the determination . of the United States to preserve the integrity of the gov ernments in this hemisphere from European aggression; ' it breathed new life into the Monroe Doctrine. We are told that It was only through i the moderation and restraint of the British government that serious con sequences were escaped. This is not true. It was not British moderation and restraint, but American courage . that prevailed.?- There was no beat ing of tom-toms, or frantic appeals for volunteers, or patriotic exhorta tions from the, white house, but a stern demand that the rights of the people who have established govern ments of thelrt.own la this quarter of the - world should be : respected.
