THE CITIZENS LEAGUE.
The Lecture Preparatory to its Edu-
cationaI Work.

An audience that filled every pew ard
chair in the Second Congre gational
church gathered at the union meeting
Sunday evening to listen to the lecture
of the Rev. Geo. B. Lawson, the new
pastor of the Baptist church, on mind
Your Business" This lecture was in
troductory to the course of educational
lectures that will be given during the
winter under the auspices of the Cit-
zens League, on social questions and
the duties of citizenship. These lee
lures will be given by gentlemen of
national reputation who have taken an
active part in the reform movement that
have been going on IN various cities of
! the United States. MI. LawsOn's lecture
was an earnest appeal to every citizen to
uphold and vigorously support every
movement in behalf of better morals,
and of more rigid enforcement of the
laws. Not only is 1t the business of the
citizen to vote for honest and efficient
men, and demand the punishment of
dishonest officials, but to encourage and
support in every possible way, the efforts
of officials, and of others to enforce the
laws. He stated that whether a man
believes that law is right or wrong, it
| is his business to demand its enforce
ment. III case he believes the law to be
an evil one, its enforcement should be all
the more religiously observed, for in its
enforcement lies the surest and quickest
means of its repeal. Mr.. Lawson spoke
at length of the relations that a pastor
bears to his community. He stated in
effect that while minister of the gospel
should not engage in party work. shondl
not dabble in politics, yet should
ly engage in and should lead the Nofld
municipal reform and the effof ~

A SaucY English Editor.

LONDON, May 3.-The Globe this
afternoon, commenting upon the
trouble between Nicaragua and
Great Britain, says: "The sharp
lesson which we had the painful
duty to infiict upon Nicaragua can
not fail to be productive and
another and more powerful state
has been taught a useful lesson.
The American Republic assumes
the post of arbitrator in all dis
putes between smaller states and
Europe and what is more impor-
tant, it shows disposition to in
terfere in these disputes, which is
Objectionable as it is unasked for.
The tone OF the American press
ever since the present diff
Guilty arose reflected very
clearly the usual tone Of
their country in these matters,
though perhaps their buster and
braggadocia upon this occasion
was rendered louder because they
felt there was little chance Of be-
ing listened to. We do not wish
to heap indignity upon any state,
however small and insignificant.
England has never played the part
of bully and never will, but she
must be careful to see that her
good nature is not too much pre-
sumed upon"
The st. James Gazette, referring
to the same subject, remarks: "The
Nicaraguan bill is backed by Sal
vador. 1t would be rude to inquire
too closely into the value Of the
guarantee. The average usurer is
satisfied with a second name, and
il Zelaya has played us false we
will not only occupy but wipe Co.
rinto of the map, and other places
with it. II any Of the great powers
had behaved as Nicaragua has we
should have been at war with it
within a week"

PENNSYLVANIA FIRE.
Forests in the OIL Regions Burn
ing FierceIy

ing tlercely
BRADFORD, Pa, May 3.-The
sky is hazy from the numerous
forest fires in this vicinity. Be-
tween Kettler and Rasselas along
the line of the Erie road the woods
are a mass Of flames. There are
millions of feet of hemlock logs
and large quantities of tim Der
near Crawford junction. The fire
is burning fiercely and threatens
the destruction Of the oil property.
Another fire is raging between
McAmbliss and Mount Jewett, and
in the vicinity of HaZlewood, on
the B. B. & X. X. road, the
woods are on fire on either side of
the track. The fire is spreading
with great rspidity, and it is al
most impossible TO check the
flames. Men are stationed along
the railroad to prevent the fire
from destroying oil property which
is in danger. Drilling oil wells in
many places is suspended because
of lack Of water. All springs are
dry and unless it rains soon, work
in this field will be greatly delayed.

MUST BE SPANKED.
LONDON, May 3.-The Daily
Telegraph says: ave regret the
necessity Of coercing Nicaragua,
but just as in life, some small weak
people make themselves disagree
able and are all the better for a
sound cuff. There are instances in
which justice, self-respect and the
peace of the world impose the ne
cessity of inflicting what may be
termed diplomatic birching
rather than an act of war. The
United States have shown, as was
to be expected, becoming sense
of equity, and have behaved to-
ward us in nearly every respect as
we should have behaved toward
them"
TEACH HER A LESSON.
LONDON, May 3. - The Times
says: "Until the Nicaraguan gov
eminent relents, we must keep our
ships where they are, whatever the
Inconvenience to ourselves. The
means we have taken to vindicate
our just demands are of the mild
est character which give any hope
Of accomplishing our end. The
question is, whether they are
strong enough to be etfectual.
Should Nicaragua persevere in her
present attitude it may be neces-
sary to supplement them. 1t is,
throughout, an unpleasant affair.
The attitude Of the United States
appears to have been most rigidly
correct. We believe that despite
the efforts of some newspapers to
create ill-feeling, the people cor
daily endorse the governments
course"
LUDICROUS POINT.
LONDON, May 3. - The Daily
Chronicle says: "The situation in
Nicaragua has reached an almost
ludicrous point. England is in
the position Of a policeman who
has captured a boy a long way
from the police station and does
not know what to do with him.
The policeman's position is equally
humiliating and profitless. Sooner
or later Nicaragua, Of course, must
pay and beg pardon. The United
States is acting friendly part to
ward Great Britain and Nicaragua
in urging the latter to pay the in
demnity at the earliest moment"
