The pulpit Of st. Michael and All An
gels Protestant Episcopal Church is still
vacant, the rector who was called, Rev.
Williams Rollins Webb, having declined to
accept. Last Sunday the pulpit was filled
by the Rev. Mr.. Prescott, assistant min
lister at st. PaLrs Church. Several plans
have been proposed as way out Of the
difficulty, but the only solution seems to
be that new deed will have to be given
by st. Johns Church. and If the vestry

Congress is asked by certain interested
people TO pass a bill which would work
to the very great disadvantage of the In
dams. Under thesspeoious name of .'Home
Rule," the instigators hope to cover up
thelr real intent. That intent is to serve
5he men needing positions and not to
serve the Indians. There is, however, a
comparatively good bill lately introduced
ny Senator Teller. Whatever may be his
hefesy as to free coinage, Senator teller
seems TO be sincerely devoted to the well
fare OF the red men of the west. 1t is to
be hoped that this bill will PASS. 1t does
not comprehend all that Secretary Hoke
smith would like to see done, but it is

Cubans as bell1gerents is to formally ad-
nit the existence of certain facts which
under the laws Of nations constitute bel
slgerency. Therefore an essential per-
quisits Of recognition is the existenos of
these necessary facts. An Investigation
to ascertain whether thess facts exist
should obviously preoede recognition.
Spain has all along commended that the
Cuban rebels have not ACQUIRED the re-
quisites of belligerency. She has repre-
sented them as a mob, and has constant
ly belittled the rebellion in her procla-
nations, though the great number of
troops that she has sent to the island
bellies her words. The rebels on the other
hand claim that they have an organized

place, and many other requisites of bel
ligerency. Here is dispute as to fact
which it is incumbent upon our govern
ment to settle before taking action to
formally recognize the rebels.
Xhe effect of recognition on our part
will be to give, SO far as this country is
concerned, equal rights and privileges
to both conference.-the Spaniards and
The rebels. and to put them under equal
restrictions. If after the recognition of
the CuDans as belligerents they should
MT out war vessels 1t would be our uty
to treat them just the same as Spanish
war vessels, to accord them the same
rights in our ports that the Spanish
vessels would enjoy and subject them to
the same restrictions. In short the Unit
ed States after recognizing the Cubans
as belligerents would be under obliea.

exactly alike-to observe strict impair
| TALLY. And the attitude of our govern.
ment to both would have to be one of
strict neutrality. Neither of them could
purchase arms or ammunition in this
country, or use our ports to fit out their
vessels in. By the treaty of Washington
this country committed itself to the
doctrine that if neutral country did
not actually prevent belligerents from
using its purts or waters as base of
naval operations or for the purpose of
renewal or augmentation of military
supplies, or arms, or the recruitment of
men, it was bound to pay damages to the
helligerent that suffered. A mere procla-
nation of neutrality will not exculpate our
government If any of its citizens violate it
and succeed in giving aid to either of
the belligerents. The proclamation must
not only be issued, it must also be en-
forced, and no excuse will relieve us
from the penalty of that failure which
is the payment of damages actually sui
fered In consequence of its violation. 1t
will be seen therefore that the recognit-
ion of the Cubans as belligerents imposes
upon our government some serious OBJ

The Boston Traveller has an interest
ing story from Washington to the effect
that there is decided GOODNESS between
the President end his Secretary of State,
and that the latter's tenure of office is
decidedly insecure. Indeed the CORE
spondent asserts that the President already
has the Secretary's resignation in his
hands. The trouble seems to be that Mr..
Olney has made himself altogether too
conspicuous. Instead of being content
to be Mr.. Oleveland's faithful and obedi-
emit clerk for foreign affairs Mr.. Olney
has insisted upon being. the head of his
own department., and what is very much
more audacious, he has been nourishing
Presidential boom without Mr.. Cleye-
lands consent The authority for the
Traveller's story is not given, but the
tale certainly wears an air of very strong
probability. Selfsssertiveness has ever
been one of the surest roads to Mr.. Cleye-
lands hostility, and Mr. Olney, or his
friends for him. has been guilty of a
great deal of that.

The Marquis di Rudini, if he has really
undertaken to form a new italian oabi-
net, and straighten out affairs in Abys-
sinia, has assumed very arduous task.
The truth is Italy is financially incapable
of carrying on the war; Her people are
already taxed to the utmost limit. But
Of course national pride will demand
that the war go on and it will plaos upon
the ministry the burden Of providing
ways and means. If it fails, as it is al
most certain to do, Rudini will follow
Crispi into disgrace.

BLANK CARTRIDGES.
New York Tribune. J

Nor does there seem to be any good
reason why the resoluti ons, if any are to
be passed, should be merely concurrent
in form. Concurrent resolutions are
blank cartridges. They make lot of
noise and smoke, and give foreign ma
tions the idea that we are firing away
at a prodigious rate, but they carry no
shot and hit no mark. If il is worth
while for the legislative branch of the
government to say ANYTHING on the sub
ject, 1t is worth while for it to say it SO
! that the executive branch will have to
Ia e some notice Of it. Then we shall
know where we stand. II the President
shall approve and act upon the resolu-
lions, some practical effect will be given
to them. If he shall veto them, he will
doubtless give his reasons for doing SO,
and may thus contribute some valuable
Information to the controversy; and, at
any rate, there will be definite placing
of responsibility. Surely there is no
reason why Congress should be so tender
toward the Presidents personal COM
fort'' as to wish to spare him the onus
of making such decision. He has shown
it no particular consideration. On the
contrary, both he and his underlings have
often manifested studied contempt for
the representatives of the people whom
he has ION his hands, and who prevent
him from ruling the country according
to his own sweet will. 1t Congress has
anything to say to the President about
Cuba, leu it say 1T openly and manfully,
in manner deserving and compelling
some respect and worthy of branch of
the government fully coordinate with
the executive. There is no occasion for
