From these indisputablc facts he argues
that Cuba is entitled to receive at the hands

reported by Mr.. Morgan, namely, that the
United States should observe strict neu-

and recognize the belligerent rights OF both.
Must we gain our independence, asks
President Cisuercs, "before we are ac-
corded the sanction OF the world to labor
for it?' After Cuba has achieved her indc-
pcndence; after the Spaniard has been driven
across the sea and the present Spanish
capital of the island is the seat Of govern
ment of the republic, she need ask for no
belligcrent rights, for then she Will bc ac-

SAID that he prevented or dissuaGed other
United States officials from attending the
function. In other words, the representa-
tive of the foremost republic in the world,
on this occasion by his absence chose to
give the people OF Hawaii and all others to
understand that the people Of the United
States are not in sympathy with the estab-
li>hmcnt of sister republic.
Mr.. willis by this act was guilty of
double offcnsc. He insulted friendly
nation and he misrepresented his own.
II was his duty TO have attended that state
function, not as Mr.. Albert s. Willis, but
as the representative OF the United States
government, which is on friendly terms
with the government of Hawaii. II he
found it impossible TO go, he should have
sent proper note Of regrets. He was not
only discourtcous in his personal capacity
toward the government to which he was
accredited, but incxcusably SO in his Off
cial character. II is high time that Minister
Willis should come hack 10 Kentucky.

Where Uniform Legislation Is Needed.

Tho difficulty OF this undertaking Is not
10 bc lightly estimated. With such radical
Emergencies. for instance, as no divorce
atall in South Carolina, and as much divorce
as you want in South Dakota and klahona.
with marriage so easy in New York that
calling a woman wife or a man husband
her or him such in law; with minute safe
guards thrown about the contracting OF
marriage else where; with civil marriages,
recognized in some States ami not in oilers;
with the offspring of some marriages
regarded as legitimate in some States and
ilicgitin,atc elsewhere, there would seem
10 be an urgent cali for remedial action.
Such conditions are nothing less than de-
noraliZinS.
If the consequences of this sort OF in
ccnEruous legislation affected one COM
enough. but yet endurable; but as it is,
the evils resulting from this lack of
uniformity spread themselves from one
end OF the land TO the other. \ remedy
ought to be applied. there is nobody TO
apply il save the legislatures OF the diff
fercnt States and Territories, and, again.
there is no agency that can be OF such
e-"at service in influencing the legislatures
as the bar associations OF the different
cities and States.

The Bar Association OF Baltimore has
recommended to the legislature Of Mary

but whether it has or not. ii is a commend
able one in every respect. There is
Il number of social and commercial inter-
ests regarding which uniformity should
take the place of the present almost
chaotic condition.
Among these subjects are the laws reSu-
lating marriage and divorce. 1t is a
question whether Congress should not
be empowered by constitutional amend-
mcnt 10 regulate this matter. and thus have
one law to apply TO all the States and Terri
tories. II would seem to be as Important
as bankruptcy law, for not merely business
houses but lives are banEruptcd by the
present almost happy go-iucky way OF get
ting into matrimony and getting out of
it. As this consummation, however, is
not possible at present, there is no doubt
that an effort should at least be made
to have the legisia lures, in their individual
capacity, enact sta,usvs which will have
the essential quality OF uniformity III an
the important points relating 10 marriag,
and divorce.

No American can read The appeal OF Pres
ident Cisneros, of the Republic of Cuba. 10
The people of the United States, which is
published in this issue of The Evening
Times, without feeling his heart stir with
sympathy for the brave people which is
Struggling TO throw off srain's cruel yoke.
Nor can one help experiencing an emotion
akin 10 shame when he considers that at
oar very doors people is struggling for
freedom from the most CALLING oppression
ever inflicted upon any land, and yet is get
ting no help other than words from the
great Republic whose proclamation TO the
world is liberty and independence.
President Cisneros states some eloquent
facts, and asks questions In connection
herewith, some of which are not altogether
unembarrassing to the people of the United
States. The burden of his appeal, of course,
is the granting of bclligercnt rights Ia tue
insurgents. He points out that there is an
established form of government and Gu
bitas the seat of it. He also points to the
fact that the insurgent armies have gone
from one end Of the island 10 the other
in spite of all the armies Spain has sent
there; that tue greater part of Cuba is &C.

There appears TO be good reason why the
President should recall the Hon. Albert
S. Willis, envoy extraordinary and minis
ter pleniputentiary uf the United States
to the republic OF Hawaii. His most re-
cent performance stamps him as 5" eN-
traordinary an envoy that his retention in
a diplomatic capacity at Honolulu is little
less than a gratuitous insult to the people
and the government OF the Sandwich ISL
ands. Considering the part Minister Willis
took in the attempt of the Cleveland ad-
minIstration to restore corrupt mon

one or two occasions since that attempt
SO signally failed, it is not to he sup

The evening times., 1896-02-10

The srewsome traffic in corpses appears
to be fiorrishing again in the District.
Some years il go it was in full bloom. and the
gang OF ghouls who supplied iccai and out

robber.

means by which this ghoulsn. eau be ef-
