Of the details depends the Yaus
of rule ora principle. Many good rule, many an
honest principle Ias been rendered odious and OPP
pressiye quently, ruinous and unholy Of
a false application construction Of the incidents
which necessarily accompanied them.
We have no objection to the application and
observance Of good international rules provided all
nations interested keep their faith with singeness Of
purpose. But when there is a general violation Of
BY the high contracting parties we do not
think one government should be held toa contract
whitehall other governments have directly or indi-
rectly broken. These prelininaries bring US to the
Central American question and its present aspects.
Tt is well known that the authorities of the United
States have omitted no igilance eNerton to main
tain nviolate the sanctity OF the Neutrality Laws.
They have stopped ships laden with passengers for
Nicaragua. They have arrested emigrants, and cast
them into prison. They have thrown all obstacles
they could in the way Of Central American advance
ment They have refused to recognize the government
of Nicaragua de acto and falserstep and more uI-
righteous act was never committed BY any administra
ton. They haye discwned their own blood and SO far
as they could damaged the prospects and endangered
the lives Of their kinsen. All this has been done
under what We consider strained and indefensible
construction Of the Neutrality Laws, which has
with which nation we have always been at peace,
and which, Up to the declaration Of war against her
by Costa RIGA, was at peace with all the world.
Il For the sake Of argument, let US admit that our
Government has acted properly in striving to prevent
emigration to Nearag prohibiting our country
from going to the assistance Of their brethren
struggling for liberty and life in q far-off, foreign
and--and in interposing all obstacles at its com
mand has, then kept its faith and preserved its
neutrality with an unparalleled rgidity. What have
other nations done Have they kept their faith
Have they abstained from interference? Are their
hands spotless? Can they show o clear record?
These questions are pertinent to our subject and
we answer them all in the negative English,
French and Germans found in the ranks Of those
who wage war of determination against our breth-
ren in Nicaragua. English, French and German ri
fes have wrought the deaths Of Americans than
the weapons of all Costa Rca combined English
arms and English money have equipped the slaugh-
terers of our own born brethren. English counsels
and English gold melted the war and stimulated its
horrors An English frigate lies off the harbor Of
San Juan in effect hockading that port and threat
enng commercial vessels with seizure and search
And to complete the climax the English Minister for
Foreign Affairs has been detected in clandestine,
secret correspondence with the authorities of Costa
Riea, rendering them and encouragement to war
against. devastate and murder the unofendng inhab-
itants of Nicaragua! All these are facts.
