BOTH UNLAWFUL AND FOOLISH.

Chicago Times-Herald.
Il is a high misdemeanor against the
United States. punishable by heavy fine
and by Imprisonment. for any citizen Of
the United States or any other person 10
enlist in any expedition, military or naval
OF engage in any way in such an enter
prise, fitted out in this country against a
nation or power with whom the United
States are at peace.
Such expeditions are oTenses not only
against the law Of nations but against the
express statutes Of the United States. and
persons who violate these statutes ought
to be dealt with in the severest manner,
for they imperil the peace Of the country.
OF this character is the expedition that
has been secretly recruited in Chicago
and which it was intended should depart
for Cuba this evening. The timely ex-
posure by the Times-Herald Of this un-
lawful enterprise will probably be the
means Of preventing its departure from
Chicago. Most assuredly It will be
stopped in Jacksonville or on the coast.
Whatever sympathies We may nave for
the Cubans in their present contest, as
law-abiding people we must confne our
expression Of those sympathies to words
only. II is our duty 10 our own country
and our own laws to refrain from all acts
Of hostility. To fit out expeditions against
Spain. or to suffer them to be fitted out,
and TO give material aid 70 the revolution
lists are the things which we accused
Great Britain Of doing in our civil war,
and for which we afterward made her
pay heavily in damages. Before the great
international tribunal at Geneva we sue
cessfully contended for the principle that
it is the duty Of a neutral government
to use due diligence to prevent the fitting
out, arming or equipping within its juris-
diction Of any vessel or expedition which
it has reasonable ground to believe is in
tending to carry on war against power
with which it is at peace, and to exercise
due diligence as to all persons within its
Jurisdiction to prevent any violation of
this duty and obligation.
Shall we, who by our stand against
Great Britain in the Alabama case estab-
lished this great principle Of international
law. now. suffer It to be violated by our
own people? If we should, Spain might
present as heavy bill for damages

These expeditions are not only unlawful
and those engaged in them liable TO severe
punishment, but they are In the Aighcst
degree Foolish The dangcr OF course
