CUBAN RELLIGERENOY.

For six months past the sentiment
of the people has demanded that this
government accord to the Cuban insur-
gents the rights of belligerents Con-
gress has been in session almost three
months and nothing has been done to
satisfy this sentiment. but now it
seems DESTROYS of acting. The desire
seems to have come upon it suddenly
and it wants to act as suddenly as the
desire came.
Thursday, Chairman Hit, of the
house committee on foreign affairs,
presented strong resolutions from that
committee for the recognition Of the
Cubans as belligerents. When these
were called uD later in the day there
was perfect furore of excitement over
them. The demand was made that
they be passed at once. This brought
Boutelle of Maine, to his feet. He said
he understood that the resolutions ac-
corded belligerent rights to the Cuban
insurgents, an action that might in
volve the United States in war with
Spain. Thereupon ensued this eolloquy:

DUNRAyEN EXPELLED.

The New York Yacht club has ex-
PEELED Lord Dunraven from member
ship in the club. While the whole I'M
fortunate affair was in reality a purely
club matter, 1t became Of International
interest and Importance. and because
of this the action of the club in ex-
polling his lordship will be received
with universal satisfaction in the Uni
ted States.
Throwing all prejudice aside and
considering the case on its merits, it
must be said that it is very doubtful
if ever before a man making preten-
sions to craftsmanship acted so churl-
ishly as has Dunraven. If he believed
his charges it was his duty to himself
and to the club to make them, but to
make them as a gentleman. When
they were investigated by commit
tee above all suspicion and found to
be groundless, it became ten times his
duty to withdraw them and make those
apologies that would suggest them
selves to a true gentleman. But Lord
DunraVen did not do this. 1t is this

ing, feeling that has spread over two
countries, each championing the cause
of its representative largely without
regard to the merits of the case, but
mostly on prejudice. That was in
evitable, perhaps.
The expulsion of Dunraven is the
close of a very unsatisfactory and I'M
pleasant affair. In all probability it
is also the close for several years at
least, of yachting contests between
England and America, certainly for
the Americas cup. The expulsion was
mertted. but it is to be regretted that
the members of the club received the
announcement of the result of the
vote with yells of delight; though that
is all there is to regret.

A SURPRISE FOR MAMMA.

Every one who has read Prof. Sully's
Studies of Childhood must acknowledge
the American child to be a subject wor-
thy of study. But the following delicious
production which we received from the
medical man to whom it was sent shows,
we think, that the child mind in this
country is equally interesting. The let
ter IS written upon small pink paper,
ornamented with a picture of a pony,
and we transcribe it verbatim, emitting
only names and addresses:

We commend this to the notice of Prof

honored with the acquaintance of a

1t appears that the United States
senators from Colorado are divided on
the tariff-silver issue about as the
senators from Utah are. The follow
ing from the Denver Republican ex-
plains:
Senator WoEcott was paired with
Senator Brice on the motion to take
up the tariff bill in the Senate on
Tuesday. Brice would have voted no
and Wolcott would have voted aye on
that question if both had been present
Senator Teller voted no. Evidently
Senator Wolcott has definitely decided
to join the eastern wing of the party
IN this matter, but we hardly think
that his course will prove satisfactory
to the people of Colorado.
From this it appears that Senator
Wolcott is for tariff first and silver
afterwards, so is Senator Brown of
Utah. Senator Teller is for silver first
and in favor of saying to eastern Re
publicans you shall have no more pro-
lection until the west is assured of
free coinage; after much webbing
about Senator Cannon finally lines IN
on the same side. This dividing I'D on
the part of Republican senator's from
the same state on the same issue NAV
seem very simple matter to the
senators, but if they knew to what
desperate straits it drives a Republf

home out of pure pity they would be

PEACE BY FORCE.

The dispatches of yesterday repre-
scented Mr.. G. J. Goschen, first lord of
the British admiralty, in his Lewiston
speech. as saying that conciliation,
negotiation and arbitration might be
valuable but woe to the nations lack
ing the courage or means to back their
opinions by their own resources; and
of course this statement was followed
by reference to the necessity for Eng
land to have powerful fleet
Mr.. Goschen is right. Nations may
cry peace. peace; but in our present
imperfect condition Of human affairs
international peace will be maintained
chiefly by reason Of the nations being
prepared for war.
We are all anxious for the time to
come when men shall beat their swords
into plowshares, and their spears into
pruning hooks, and when nation shall
not lift up sword against nation, nor
shall they learn war any more; but
that time is not yet, and though sud
den changes may come over the ma
lions, we fear this change so desira-
bic, so longed for, so often predicted
by holy men, is still some distance, in
time, away, and pending it's arrival, if
Patrick Henry should ask in that
matches eIoquence of his, ''are fleets
and armies necessary to a work of
love and reconciliation" we fear the
correct answer, in the midst
Of our present imperfect condi-
tons, would be quite different
from what the brilliant orator in his
day looked for when he asked the
question. Yes, paradoxical as it may
seem, fleets and armies are necessary
to a work of love and reconciliation;
for somehow or other so perYerse is
human nature that the +tother fellow
don't seem to have a very great dis
position to love you unles you possess
the power to everlastingly thrash him;
that is, unless the very great probable
ity is that you can do that thing, or
at least give him very great deal of
trouble to thrash you Of course we
speak of nations. AS for treaties, ar
bitrations, international agreements,
etc, all these like laws are mere null
lities without the necessary power to
enforce them; and though we think ar
bitration ought to be encouraged, and
ultimately we expect to see great good
to grow out of it, even perhaps the
reign of peace, that we all at least
hope for, yet as things stand at pres
ent, that nation stands but little
chance of getting It's just dues unless
back of its Willingness to arbitrate
there stands the power to maintain it's
own against all Corners.

Jesuits, from purely religious motives;
and in 1865 he was sent to the missions
in Canada. Two years later he was
sent to the upper lakes. For eight
years, until his death in 1876. he la
bored to teach the Indians Christian
ity and in exploring the country. His
ambition was to save souls; nothing
more. His name is as indissolubly
connected with the early history OF
the northwest as is that of Washing
ton with the war of independence And
what manner of man was this against
placing a statue of whom in the ma
tional capitol the a. P. A of Illinois
formally protests? Parkman, no Cath
Ole, but always a descendant of the
Puritans, says che was devout Vo-
tary of the Virgin Mary, who, imaged
to his mind in shapes of the most
transcendent loneliness with which
the pencil of human genius has ever
informed the canvas, was to him the
object of an alteration not unmingled
with a sentiment of chivalrouS devo-
ton. The longings of a sensitive heart,
divorced from earth. sought solace in
the skies. A subtitle element of ro-
nance was blended with the feryor of
his worship, and hung like an illu-
mined cloud over the harsh and hard
realities of his daily lot Kindled by
the smile of his celestial mistress, his
gentle and noble nature knew no fear.
For her he burned to dare and suffer,
discover new lands and conquer new
realms to her sway
Such is the description of this man
given by one of Americas first histor-
ians. And when death came to him
on the shores of Lake Michigan, how
did he meet it? He met it as such a
man would be expected to meet it.
with perfect cheerfulness and COM
posure, he gave directions for his bur-
ial, asked their forgiveness for the
trouble he had eaused them, admins
tered to them the sacrament of peni-
tence, and thanked God that he was
permitted to die in the wilderness, a
missionary of the Faith and a member
of the Jesuit brotherhood" His COM
panions were fatigued and he told
them to take their rest, which they
did. A few hours later they awoke,
heard him murmuring the names of
Jesus and Mary and so died.
The country should be proud that
among it's pioneers and founders were
such men. while they deserve all the
honor that posterity can give. The
Jesuit missionaries in the northwest
were as good. as devoted, as brave and
religious a band of men as the Pill
grim Fathers of the northeast. Pierre
Marquette was hero. Let his statue
be placed in the national capitol be-
side the country's other heroes.

A SEAMAN FIFTY YEARS AGO.

Nearly fifty years ago a Bremen bark
of 600 tons sailed up the Potomac river
to take in a cargo of tobacco at Alex
andria, then a seaport town of some con-
sequence. Among the crew was d young
man named Frederick Halterman, scion
of an old Hansa town family. The wind
being contrary, the ship was forced to
anchor directly opposite Mount Vernon.
Halterman, being a Bremen High school
boy, knew that the remains of the i'm
mortal George were buried upon the
bluff; obtained permission to visit the
American Mecca, then raging wilder
ness and a monument to g. great repub-
lies negligence and ingratftude. Yester
day this same Halterman was honored

MORMON FARarERs OFF UTAH.


The Mormon farmers of Utah owe their
prosperity to this system Of individual in
dependence. Their present leader, Presi-
dent Milford Woodruff has lived for
forty-eight years upon a twenty-acre
farm conducted on just these lines His
acre and a quarter of wheat goes to the
toll mill and comes back in the shape of
flour. His FIVE acres of alfalfa supports
the horses and Jersey COWS, and con-
tributes to the support of poultry and
ards complete the list of productions
necessary to good family living. And
there is no year when prices are so low
exchanged at the store for such articles
OF clothing as are required, while in
average years there is a comfortable sur
plus, with something to be credited to
the savings account. 1t may be said that
the same results are yielded by the
agricultural Industry elsewhere, and
there is a measure of truth in the state
ment; but it cannot be done with equal
certainty nor upon an equal area with
out hrdgation.-Way and Means in
Arid America, by William q. Smythe, in

1t may be all very we'll to say in de-
Tense OF Senator Cannon that between
the 18th of the month, when he voted
for the tariff bill, and the 25th of the
same month when he voted against it
he found it so ill-considered, and its
previously supposed advantages to the
west no advantages at all and that
therefore he was justified in changing
his vote; but where does this leave the
other Republican senator from Utah,
Senator Brown? He voted for the bill
on the 18th, he voted for it again on
the 18th; he had the same opportunity
of learning as much about the worth
lessness of the provisions of this bill
for the west as Mr.. Cannon had, yet he
persists in voting for it. What of him?
1t is even as if the two senators were

Apropos Of the proverbIal quality reign

ian, friend of mine of philanthropic
turn of mind noticed for several morn
ings that the children of the garbage
man accompanied their father on his
rounds and gredily ate certain choice
morsels which they extracted from the
garbage. This so weighed upon the good
mans heart that after careful thought
he approached the father, talked kindly
with him about his children, offered as
sistance, and said: Nov, why don't you

and give them a comfortable home and

possible consequences would not have
been patriotic; it would simply have
been indecent haste. Whatever it may
be, the congress Of the United States
should be a deliberative body. That
the resolutions reported by the house
committee on foreign affairs were
proper ones. ones that will meet the
approval of the American people, is
not doubted for moment, but why
the haste. the indecent haste, to pass
them SO soon as reported? DO the
members Of congress realize all that
the according of beIigsrent rights to
the Cubans means? a proper regard
for the opinions and usases of man
kind demands that in so grave a, mat
ter this government act with that cir
cumspection and dignity which accords
with it's greatness. 1t will give greater
weight to its action when it does act.
For year the Cubans have carried
on such rebellion that Spain has not
been able to subdue it, and she seems
no nearer accomplishing her object
than year ago. Today she has hun
dred thousand troops in the island, yet
the Cubans wage their warfare and
are far more hopeful than ever. The
most distinguished soldier of the Ibe-
rian peninsula, man of wide expert
ence in war, and war in Cuba too, was
sent out to crush the rebellion. but
signally failed and was called home in
consequence. It is said his successor
will be more bloody, that he will not
hesitate to wage a war of extermina-
ton. This may all be, still he will
meet with no greater success than did
his predecessor These are the facts
which justify the granting to the Gu
ban patriots all the rights of belliger-
ents, and because of them those rights
should be accorded, but let them be
accorded as becomes US and not with
hurrah.
