AS APPLIED TO MR. BLAINE'S
RECORD.
Soma Views and Facts Touching a
Foreign Policy and the
nights of Citizens.
l'.lllop Ran Anionic) Ltahti
Mr. Shields begins his reply with what
trlkn lud ns quite a display of arro-
gance as he says lie trusts J. 11. la some
one worthy or attention. Being pro-
foundly grateful for even small favors
let them come from what source they
may I am very much obliged by the
gracious condescension shown by Mr.
Shields In this Instance.
I Insist that Mr. Shields did f'o all In-
tents and purposes argue that foreign
born cltlrena should 'not voto for Mr.
lllalnc because ho had been a Know
Nothing thirty years ago. lie quoted
an article from the Irish World of De-
cember SI 1881 wherein Mr. lllntne was
bandied pretty roughly and was charged
with having been a Know Nothing In
1835 and then proceeded to argue that
the editor of the World could not vote
for Mr. Dlalne consistently by which
course Mr. Shields approved of tho ob-
jections raised In the article quoted by
him to Mr. Blaine. Governor Ireland
was Just as much a Know Nothing aa
was Mr. Blaine and If It was an unpar-
donable sin In Mr Jllalno to have
been a Know Nothing In 1855 Justice
and fair dealing demand that the same
measure eball be meted out to Governor
Ireland. It will be very consistent In
Mr. Shields to vote against Blaine be-
cause he was a Know Nothing and to
condono tho Know Nothlnglsm of
Governor Ireland so far as to vote for
him and It will not gloss over such glar-
ing Inconsistency to say that any refer-
ence to Governor Ireland's having been
a Know Xothlng Is "gratuitous and un-
worthy of attention." Plain people
who believe that "what Is sauce for the
goose la sauce for the gander" will
think the reference to Mr. Blaine's Know
Nothlnglsm fully as "gratuitous and un-
worthy of attention" as Is a reference to
the fact that Oovernor Ireland was a
Know Nothing.
"J. B." repeats what he observed In
his former artlce namely : that a Secre-
tary of State has no Independent power
that he la merely a ministerial officer
that be Is no more responsible for the
foreign polloy of the United States
than Is the Secretary of the Interior or
of the Navy and that the l'resldent set-
tles and determines the foreign policy.
Mr. Blaine In his letter to President
Arthur of January 2 18S2 well
defined the duties of a Secretary of
State. "The Invitation was not mine.
It was yours. I performed only the part
of the Secretory to advise and to draft.
Vou spoke 'In the name of the United
States to each of the Independent na-
tions of America." A cabinet officer
may be removed at the pleasure of the
President. He is bound to carry out the
policy mapped out by the l'resldent.
President Jackson directed Duane the
Secretary of the Treasury to withdraw
the Government deposits (public funds)
from the banks. Duane llatly refused
to do so. What was the upshot ot It?
President Jackson cut the Gordlan knot
by Instantly removing Duane and ap-
pointing lloger It. Taney Secretary of
the Treasury. A Secretary of State
holds by no more secure tenure than
does a Secretary of the Treasury. The
'result Is that the President is respon-
sible for both the domestto and foreign
Sollcy of the United States and the
ecretary of State is only the ministe-
rial officer for carrying out that policy.
Of course the Secretary of State gives
Instructions to United States
ministers at foreign courts but
these Instructions are dictated
by the President beforehand and are
subject to be changed or revoked by the
President at his pleasure. President
Monroe formulated the "Monroe doc-
trine" In 182:1 In'one of his messages to
Congress and then bis Secretary of State
made It the basis of the Instructions
given to the representati res of the
United States abroad.
' I say it without the fear of successful
contradiction tnat tho l'resldent Uxea
and marks out the foreign policy of the
United States and that for that reason
the President Is responsible for It. The
Constitution of the United States vests
this power In the President and In him
alone and does not recognize the Office
-of Secretary of State. The dtitlea of a
Seoretary of State are derivative minis-
terial and subordinate. Mr. Blaine was
consequently not responsible for the
foreign polloy of Garlleld or Arthur
whllo he was Secretary of State.
Unless Mr. Shields quoted the remark
attributed to Mr. Lowell viz. that Mp-
Bweeney "was only a naturalized citizen
of the United States and not an Auierl-
'can oltlzsn" directly from the official
Faper by Lowell I deny lta correctness
a case he. quoted It second handed and
from a newspaper or letter writer I de-
ny Its correctness and truthfulness. A
naturalized citizen Is as much entitled
to protection In foreign countries as Is a
native born citizen and every adminis-
tration since the Government was
launched In 1787 baa upheld andtnaln-
talned this doctrine. Mr. Lowell. I ven-
ture to affirm has never advanced a dif-
ferent doctrine. Mr Blaine has never
Intimated that a naturalized citizen
traveling abroad was not rightfully en-
titled to the same measure and degree
of protection whloh would be accorded
to a native born citizen under similar
circumstances. I deny that Mr. Lowell
ever used the remark attributed to him
In the language In which the Idea Is ex-
f i rested Of course when a' foreigner
nvokes. protection 1from the United
'States the llrst question to be Settled Is
as to whether be has been properly and
' legally naturalized according to the
naturalization laws in force. Ills right
to protection depends -uppn his having
been naturalized and his naturalization
" hat to be Investigated -and looked Into
by United States ofHolala before protec-
tion can be' extended. I venture
to say that what Mr. Lowell real-
ly did y was that MeSweeney. was
not legally naturalized and hence not
an American citizen. I hope Mr. Shields
will In justloo to Mr. Lowell take the
trouble to verify the correctness of the
remark attributed to him concerning
McSweeny. If a meeting be held in vio-
lation of the laws of Kngland Franco
Germany Italy Russia etc and Ifcltl-
zens and subjects of those nations would
be punishable for attending such Illegal
meeting it strikes me a foreigner who
should participate in such Illegal meet-
ing would be also amenable to punish-
ment. The law of the foreign nation
may be absurd harsh and unjust still
an American traveling abroad must be
careful not to violate It. If an Ameri-
can travels In Mexico be Is bound to
conform to tho laws and police regula-
tions In force there however absurd
harsh Inconvenient and unjust they
may be or seem to be to him. The very
same rule applies o an American travel-
ing or sojourning In Kngland France.
Germany etc. J. B. holds that natural
lzed citizens are entitled to the same
protection accorded to native born citi-
zens and that neither the one nor the
other are entitled to protection where
they violate the laws or a foreign nation
or engage in plots against the Govern-
eminent of the country In which they
are sojourning and I insist that the Re-
publican party has never held any other
ground upon this question. It has not
Interfered In many Instances because
the parties were either not naturalized
citizens or bad so acted as to disentitle
them to protection that is' had failed to
deport themselves In n peaceable and
lawful manner. J. B.
PUPPET SIIOW.
The Mexican Company at Turner
Hall Last Night.
Vesterday evening at Turner hall the
Drothers Cendejasgave their llrst public
show of their marlonnettea ton crowded
house consisting of a great number of
tho most fashionable of the Mexican
population and all the audience showed
by their frequent and prolonged ap-
plause how the entertainment was ap-
preciated. After the overture which
wae performed by a Mexican band very
creditably the curtain rose and discov-
ered Miss Lily Marlonnetto on the "corde
elasllquc." This little ilguro or It
Inches high perlormed some marvelous
feats of balancing and the antics and
bufl'oonery of tho attendant .clown ex
cited the risibility of the Juveniles espe-
cially. The next feature was the mask
ball In the Tullcrla hill City or Mexico.
This was a very good representation or
a ball In a splendidly lighted hall the
little figures going through various
dances with accuracy. Juan Puppet
(Apelado) and his wife before the Judge
was a scene of the broadly comlo order.
Juan Puppet's wife being garrulous and
loquacloua and she stated her reasons
to thejuge d'affaires In forcible terms
the staggering drunken husband creat-
ing great amusement. The next Item
on the programme was the grand saint
E recession the devil being conspicuous
y resolving Into that element that Is
usually ascribed to his Satanic Majesty.
The Una! portion of tho programme was
the representation or a bull light. This
was the feature of the evening every-
thing being produced with an accu-
racy that was marvelous. Every-
thing was shown lit such a
life like nnd natural manner
It was bard to believe the various llgures
were simply puppets. The bulls were
maddened In tho recognized manner by
the matadors banderlllas etc. all the
bulla dying game and raising the pitch
of enthusiasm of the 'Mexican portion of
the audience to such a degree that the
ball resounded with the lamlllar .cries of
the bull arena. This bull light alone is
wortli seeing It being the best marion-
ette representation ever Been. The
show will continue for three nights long-
er and on each evening an entirely "dif-
ferent prdgrainme will be given. The
Cendelas Brothers are en route for the
New Orleans Expositionwhere a huge
success may be safely predicted for
them.
GRAND PARADE.
Tn Laboring Men of New York In
Procession.
Ntw Voiik September 1. Broadway
was lined this morning from the City
Hall to Fourteenth street with people
assembled to witness the labor parade.
Tho llrst division of tho parade was com-
posed or printers building trades and
and bricklayers' unions. The second
division was made up or clgsrmakers
and workmen from furniture and cloth-
ing trades. The third division was corn-
posed of butchers coopers and other
trade unions. The fourth division was
made up of members or worklngmen not
attached to any organization who had
asked permission to Join the procession.
For weeks the various trades unions
have been making untiring efforts to
make the parade a success and the labor
has not been wasted. It had been an-
ticipated that 20000 men would form in
line and this number was fully reached
ir not exceeded. Both those who parad-
ed and the thousands or Bneotatora were
dressed In holiday attire. Each body or
uieu in tue prucesBiuu wore soruo uis-
tlnotlve badge cap apron or other sym-
bol or their trade to give a uniform ap-
pearance. Many of the trades gave Il-
lustrations of their occupations. The
butchers Intended to Illustrate their
trade by killing innumerable cattle as
they marched along the streets but
Henry Bergh with a squad of police. In-
terfered with that portion of the pro-
gramme. At Printing House square
the nrooesslon was reviewed by Patrick
Ford Henry George John Swlntcn
Louie F. Post and a number of others.
After the procession bad been dismissed
the men attended a large number of pic-
nics given In honor of the holiday.

Dwyer stated that the necessity for a
standplne or fountains In Borne portions
of the First ward was very great and
pressing. They desire tbe fountains In-
stead of lire hydrants for pure and

to be obtained. The expense would be
much leas and be a sanitary measure.
The report was adopted and the Coun-
cil adjourned.
A NICE MESS.
One of the "English Kickers" In
Trouble.
Tbe ltecorder'a matinee was very In-
teresting and well worth the small price
of admission this morning. Tbe first
case called was that or Albert Grelner
and John Wllken for fighting. Greiner
waa dismissed and Wllken was fined $5.
The banner oase occurred next. It
was replete with striking situations
ludicrous effects and the make-ups and
lightning changes gestures and general
acting was well gone through with and
showed the little company to be well up
'In their' roles.- Neighborhood In-
felicity" was the play and Mr. William
M. Jackson a gentleman from .England
whoB formerly ' traveled with Oscar
Wilde and took lessons of
lit in In Shakespearian lading took
the leading role as the atern parent and
Jealous husband and father. His son
took the part or the erring scapegrace
Don J n a n. His wife Mrs. Jackson Ilk
all good mothers aoted tbe patient wife
who helped her husband In all things.
The heavy villain strango to say but
perfectly proper In this leap year waa
taken by a half grown girl Minnie
Horan and her mother assisted her In
the part. Tbe plot according to the
evidence developed as fbllons: Last
Saturday evening Mr. Jackson went In
search of hla son whom hn had every
reason to bellevo had been enticed
by thebeatitirulMlnulelntoan Improper
communion of love. He found them In
a dry ditch near by and his worst fears
were realized. He took his erring son
home and ordered tho girl away and
told her not to even east sheep's eyes at
his noble son as he had higher
hopes In the boy and expected
him to marry u princess when
he returned to old England. The
girl continued to expose herseirina
nude condition Mr. Jackson said. In
front of her window whero bis boy
could see her and when he tried to stop
It Mrs. L. L. Horan the girl's mother
Interfered and attacked -Mrs. Jackson
clutching her by tbe throat and would
have choked her to death had not Mr.
EuiU Feille a neighbor. Interfered and
pnlled him off and then pulled off the
51 rl who was also trying to murder Mrs
ackson. Mr. Jackson then Interfered'
and descending from his place of safety
be ran at tho glrl.who ran Into the house
and returned with a loaded and cocked
pistol and presented It In the most ap-
proved womanly fashion butt-end fore-
most at Mr. Jackson who on seeing It
nearly broke his neck Inshowlnir aclean
pair of heels to the young nmaron. Mrs.
Jackson was picked up from a large tub
oi water into wuicu sue uau ueen sonseu
by Mrs. Horan and things quieted down
and an adjournment was bad to the Ito-
corner'a matinee this morning where
the piece drow quite an audience and
wns so well rehearsed that If It ia
again repeated on the San Anto-
nio boards It surely will draw
quite a crowded house. Mr. Jackson
and wife each contributed $5 of the
proceeda to tho Ladles' Exposition so-
ciety held In trust by Captain Shardein
and Mrs. Horan paid In $10 for the same
Surnose and her daughter $5. Mr.
