While they waited by their horses I drew near to one of them and asked him if he knew aught of my brother, Captain Mark Lantine. He answered, after eyeing me sharply, that he knew my brother well a very gallant officer, now serving with the Earl of Cleveland's brigade. "That will be on the slope beneath Boconnoc," said I.
In fact, the Monroe Doctrine never received anything approaching legislative sanction until 1895, when, in response to President Cleveland's message on the Venezuelan boundary dispute, Congress appropriated $100,000 to pay the expenses of the commission which he proposed to appoint. For nearly a hundred years we have successfully upheld the Monroe Doctrine without resort to force.
No discussion as to the validity of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty took place between the two governments after the close of President Arthur's administration. Mr. Cleveland's message above quoted was accepted as a reaffirmation of the treaty on the part of the American government. Upon two occasions subsequently questions arose between the two governments involving the stipulations of the treaty.
The critical monetary and financial situation during Cleveland's second administration is understandable only in the light of a series of acts which were passed between 1878 and 1893.
When in this situation, unlike other men, Mr. Cleveland's conduct was not distinguished by any of the little improprieties of behaviour by which a man is always known by his friends "to be very drunk." He neither reeled, nor hiccuped, nor grew maudlin. The effect of drinking upon him was only to increase the intensity of the sensation by which his mind was at the moment influenced.
President Cleveland also frequently used his veto power to prevent the passage of appropriations for federal buildings which he deemed unnecessary. The most significant legislative act of President Cleveland's administration was due primarily neither to him nor to the great political parties.
We have been betrayed, and by a woman; but there has been revenge. Oh, what revenge! When Vivian left Mr. Cleveland's he actually did not know what to do with himself. Home, at present, he could not face, and so he continued to wander about, quite unconscious of locality.
Cleveland's reference to "the high tribunal that administers international law" was too rhetorical a figure for a state paper. It has, indeed, been suggested that President Cleveland and Mr. Olney deliberately undertook to play a bluff game in order to browbeat the British government.
Cleveland His Fondness for Cards Some Poker Stories The "Senate Game" Tom Ochiltree, Senator Allison and General Schenck Not long after Mr. Cleveland's marriage, being in Washington, I made a box party embracing Mrs. Cleveland, and the Speaker and Mrs. Carlisle, at one of the theaters where Madame Modjeska was appearing.
Before the close of Cleveland's second administration, considerable progress had been made in state legislation concerning conditions and hours of labor for women and children, protection of workers from dangerous machinery, the payment of wages, employer's liability for accidents to workmen, and other subjects.
