OF The opposition, as being In part re-
sp0nsible for the passage of the resolu-
tionI recognizing Cuban belligerency by
the American Senate. In some way
Senator Comas became involved in this
controversy and the noble Tetuan
knocked him down, while the Senate
dissolved in what the cable dispatches
describe as confusion"
What would the American people
have thought. If during the debate over
the belligerency resolution Senator
Foraker had delivered a solar plexus
blow upon the rotund gIrth of Senator
Hale, while Senator Hoar rushed into
the melee with whirling fists and spec
tacles In dismay? Happily, thir sec
onds have solemnly decided that the
code duello does not require that the
Duke Of Tetuan and Senator Comas
satisfy their honor by trying to murder
each other. But no one need be aston

Canova's statement that the Spanish
government accepts full responsibility
for everything that Captain General

DISLIKE INAUGURAL PARADEs.
They Are Too Heterogeneous to Suit
Many of Those In Authority.

They Are Too Heterogeneous TO Suit
Many of Those I'm Authority.
Many persons have been urging since
the inauguration day parade that here
after the procession from the capitol
to the white house shall be made up of
United States and District of Columbia
soldiery exclusively, and that the par
ticipation of political clubs and march,
ing organizations shall be discouraged
for more than one reason. The first
one urged is that the parade of regulars
and national guardsmen is the only
part of the procession that is really
gratifying, as is shown by the tendency
to abandon the stands after the uni
formed men have passed by. The sec
ond is that the participation of political
clubs adds a mere mass of men TO the
line, extending it to such length that
the president, not yet quite recovered
from the strain of very trying day,
is compelled out of courtesy to stand
in an open rostrum for hours to take
his hat off to marchers who have little
to offer in return except display Of
enthusiasm. They arc apttC be clothed
In way to suggest the modern min
strel company, just arrived and pre-
pared to show tonight; they wear alb
surd hats and carry prcposterous UNI
brellas and twirl them over their pink
contract overcoats; too many of them
are plainly tough" and some of them
are not too sober by the time the re-
viewing stand has been reached. The
procession on March was very large
as TO its soldier part. 1t was CORE
spondingly satisfactory. Only Senator
Stewart, of Nevada, shook his head at
the array of men with arms, fearing
that some day it would be too large a
contingent, summoned to enforce some
edict against the liberties of the peo-
ple. But the same concern might be
felt for any accumulation OF men to
honor the Inauguration of president.
The absence Of large numbers OF militia
that formerly took part IN the parade
was noticed, and so also was noticed
the absence of complaint against srch
men for disorders, of which there was
some report four and eight years ago.

IN THE INTEREST OF JUSTICE.
The interests OF Delawareans will be
materially protected by the law recent
ly passed by the General Assembly in
relation to foreign corporations doing
business in this state. It will make
frauds less numerous and afford
speedier and more certain redress in
legal matters to which residents of this
state and foreign corporations are par
ties.
Every foreign corporation doing
business here must have resident
agent upon whom all kinds of legal
service may be secured. This keeps the
suits of Delawareans in their home
courts where they have much better
show for justice and where the ex-
penses of prosecution will be mater
tally less than they would be were the
plaintiffs compelled to follow the cor
porations to some other state in order
to obtain redress for wrongs inflicted.

To the Editor OF the Evening Journal.
Sir. In your issue Of Monday last
you did me an injustice when you
stated that / refused to bury the body
of the late Lewis G. Young without
first receiving my compensation there
fore. You will please do me the kind
ness to publish the following facts:
When Mrs. Young sent for me 70
look after the burial of her husband l
Immediately went to the residence, pre-
pared TO carry out her desires. She
asked me concerning the purchase Of a
burial lot and l told her that the
cemetery companies always required
payment for lots before interment
could be made. While this was out of
my line of business, as matter of
fact. / purchased for her the necessary
burial lot and gave her husband the
style of burial requested by his widow
Further than this l wish to state that
/ demanded no guarantee for my
money, nor did Garrett X. Smith (as
your paper states) guarantee the pay
ment Of the funeral expenses.
ask that you give this statement
Just as much publicity as you did the
Misrepresentation in last Mondays is
sue. Very respectfully,

THE VICTORIAN JUBILEE HUBBUB.
Nearly the whole OF Great Britain Is
now patting Itself metaphorlcally on
the back in view of the queens jubilee,
and pointing out in reviews and maga-
zines how It has grown in grace and
strength since the queens accession.
Nearly the whole"-for. of course, Ire
land does not have as clear a view of
the moral progression as Scotland and
London. The retrospection is a little
vainglOrious and one-slded and no ac-
count whatever is taken in the self
graduation OF the inevitable losses that,
by an inexorable law OF nature, and es-
pecially Of human nature, have accom-
panied the gains.
Undeniably the world at large Ia bet
ter off than IL was at the time of Vic
torias coronation, but It would be in
terestlng to inquire If Great Britain is
as much better off than the rest of the
world, morally, socially and politically,
as she ought to be; II the sum total Of
her evils has been decreased, or their
manifestations only shifted If there is
more misery than ever before in her
great centres, and If the flower of her
aristocracy is as true to noblesse
oblige and all the great traditions Of
her freedom and the obligations of her
magma charta as other generations of
her children were?
Progress has got to be such a cant
word that It's real meaning is lost sight
Of, and It is the habit of political ora
tors and jubilee editors to work upon 1t
as natural tendency as if things never
retrograded or power were never dissi-
pated, or nations never lost their stur-
dlness OF character in their greed Of
riches. 1t would be very edifying if we
could weigh Great Britain's moral
strength at this moment among the
nations OF the earth as we can weigh
her physical strength; II we could APP
praise her performance OF great duties
and her dauntless acceptance OF great
responsibilities among the people that
pay her tribute and have taken her
pledges as easily as we can appraise
the laisses-faire Of her ministers, or the
commercial activity Of Lombard street
1t Is not so much that she comes to
her diamond jubilee the best hated
nation among the group Of great states
for nations, like men, are very often
hated in proportion to their strength
and decision OF character-but she
comes TO her jubilee with her profes-
sions discredited. sac has. not kept the
faith Of the Saxon. Her bravest com
moner has told her so. 1t is all very
well to put the laurels upon the head
OF the estimable lady who reigns, but
does not govern. Great Britain will al
least have TO take its hands out Of itt
pocket TO do that But it ought to put
the royal ensign in the front of hu'
manity, and for the sake of that hu.
manlty cut loose from the train that il
paying homage to despOtism. Ther
would the people Of the earth join il
her jubilee with glad hearts and shake
the thrones themselves with their ac
clamations. Then might the English
speaking people unite.
