pend- the return to the country of that prosper
ity which Is desired hy all.
That while not averse to the subordinate use OF
silver in our circulating medium. so far as the

the free and unlimilcd coinage of silver at any
ratio and the compulsory purchase Of silver
bullion nv our Government. We demand q
rigid maintenance Of the existing standard OF
value in the interest OF labor, trade. commerce.,
agriculture. and manufactures, and are OPP
posed to any attempts at, or devices for, the de-
basement OF our currency As acts that affect tho
honor and credit Of the individual citizen and
OF tho Government alike.

President Monroe. IL IL n part OF the systsm OF
policy which bears his name. He held that
European power~ should not be allowed further
TO extend their jurisdiction In this hemisphere.
He believed, howeNer, that the United States
and its citizens should abstain from interior
cnCc Ipon either side In revolutions OF
AmeriS0 colonies against their European
mother CNuntries. Hence, when citizens OF the
United states ATTEMPTED to violate tho rules Of
neutrality In aid 81 the revolutions which
ended later in the Independence OF so many
South American republics, he not only main
tained the existing laws, but threw the influence
OF his Adininist ration IN favor OF their amend
ment. so as to make them more clearly APP

neutrality laws act upon both parties to such

has played n rather supplementary trick
upon his silver colleagues which they are not
very much pleased about. They have very

Villas was strictly following precedent In what
he did.

Brief FiIed In the supreme Court by
Attornry-tien-ra Harmon.

wAsHISGToN, May lG.-The Government
brief in the Horsa hlibustering case before the
Supreme Court WAS fled to-day. 1t is signed by
Attorney-Genera Harmon, Solicitor General
Conrad. and Assistant At~torney-General Whit
ney. The main questions discussed N the brief
are whether tho steamer was engaged IN an I'M
lawful military expedition or enterprise"
within the meaning of the statute. and whether
Capt. Wiborg and the mates who have been
convicted knew the unlawful character OF the
enterprise before they sailed from Philadelphia.
The Government contends that there IL no
question Of international law involved, and
that the case turns simply upon the meaning OF
the words used in the statute.
The party Of flibusters started from New
York in a tug. were transferred at night in the
lower bay TO a steam lighter, which was Loaded
with arms and ammunition and one cannon,
and travelled in the lighter to a point in tho
ocean on Barnegat. There they signalled the
HorsA. which was waiting for them. They all
went aboard the Horsa, and were carried in her
10 a point about six mlles off the coast OF Cuba.
Meanwhile they armed themselves and did
some drilling. They left the liorsa at night in
small boats, the vessels lights having
besn out. and carried the cannon and other
arms and most Of tho ammunition with them.
They were in charge OF "A colOred plot and
were on their way TO Join the Cuban Insurgents,
but II was not proved that they were organized
into Il regular military company. Judge Butler
charged HE Jury that such PROOF was not nrCrs-
sary. Judge Brown aitcrward charged n New
York jury IN the ease Ot the Ecrm4Ia tilihus-
tiers that al expedition Was NOT " military un-
less II was "A regularly organized fore" cavalry,
infantry, or artillery. The Government main-
tains, on the contrary, that whether or not an
enterprise Is military is a question Of intent, not
dependent on regular military organization,
citing the cases ~ John brown, VINO captured
Harper's Ferry with twenty men, and sam
sou, who killed one thousand men with the jaw
bone OF all ass.
Tho brief gives the history OF the neutrality
statute, IL Mas ilrst adopted IN 1894, at the re-
quest OF " Hsh.ugtOu and jefferson, to prevent
the United states from being embTniled Ia tho
WARS Of the Preach Revolution. Jefferson said:
No citizen Las "a night 10 go 10 war OF his own
authority, and for what he does without right
