manufactures orders for arms or am
munition there is nothing in the law
which would prevent the filing of such
an order. If a merchant in Havana
wants to buy cartridges in New York
he may send his order and his goods
can be- loaded on a vessel without in
reference. If the Cuban authorities
object to the landing of the ammuni-
ton it is their duty to prevent it.
The United States government has
spent more than 100000 to prevent
the violation of this neutrali y law, and
in doing this has done more than has

it will take seven months more to pac.

Spanish Politics.

Ia order to understand the dispatches
sent out daily from Madrid one needs
to remember that there are politicians
in Spain as well as in the United States.
Some explanation of the failure to sup
press the Cuban rebellion is necessary,
and it is very easy to say that if it had
not been for the secret support which
the United States gave the insurgents
the island would have been pacified and
subdued long ago. 1t is equally easy
to announce that formal protest
against flibustering is to be made to
the United States. This is all legiti-
mate enough for politicians, and when
the relations of such statements to the
popularity of the ministry in Madrid
are understood, they are not regarded
as of much consequence by the Ameri-
can people.
At the same time we are willing to
admit that not only do the people of the
United States sympathize with Cuba,
but that the national administrator is
interested in the settlement of the
troubles of that island. But, during
all the time that war has been raging
in Cuba, this government has been ex-
erting itself to prevent the departure of
armed expeditions from American
ports. We are neutral under the Span
ish treaty and can permit no warlke
demonstrations against Spain, but it is
not possible, however, 10 prevent pri-
vate citizens from giving assistance to
Cuba and the neutrality laws do not
prevent shipping arms and ammunition
to Cuban ports. If the government OF

A Bradford Boy HOnOred.

Jesse johnson, q Vermonter and Brad
ford boy, has again been honored by being
appointed one of the judges of the Supreme
Court of New York. The Brooklyn Times
of the Supreme Court rendered vacant by
the death of Justice Osborne has been filled
and worthily filed by the appointment Of
Jesse Johnson, who is equally well known
as a thoroughly equipped lawyer, staunch
Republican and public-spirited citizen.
1t has been understood for some time that
Gov. Black intended to appoint Mr.. John
son to the place, therefore there is nothing
Of the element of surprise in the governors
action, but it is none the less satisfactory to
the citizens of Brooklyn, as it will be to all
who are interested in the business OF the
Supreme Court in the counties included in
the Second Division. Justice Johnson is in
every way qualified to fill the place." Mr..
johnson was born in Bradford February 20,
1912, and received his early education in
district No. 4, and at Bradford Academy.
During his vacations he often walked to the
east side of Wright's Mountain (about two
miles) to pursue his studies under the in
struction of Charles McDuffee. In 1856 his
father, Elliott p Johnson, moved TO the
Brook farm at Oxford, n. H., still held by
the family. He was fitted for college in the
Oxford Academy, and was graduated from
Dartmouth in 1868 After graduation he
removed to New York state, studying law
and being admitted to practice in Albany
IN loO4, ana ldter bndJ year renOVeu 10 new
York city. In 1866 he opened an Office in
Brooklyn, where he has since lived, and
been engaged in the active practice Of law.
In 1869 he was appointed assistant corpora
ton counsel CT Brooklyn, which Office he
held eight years, forming a par nership in
the law business with the corporation coun-
sell William @. Dewitt, under the style of
Dewitt & Johnson. In 1882 the firm Of
johnson q Lamb was formed, composed Of
Jesse johnson, Colonel A. K. Lamb and
Alvan Il. Johnson, a brother. In 1888 he
was a delegate to the Republican National
| Convention at Chicago, and took an active
part in the nomination and election OF Gen
| eral Harrison. In 1889 he was appointed
district attorney for the eastern district of
| the state of New York. He was chairman
of the committee on resolutions in the re-
| form convention that nominated Charles A.
| Schieren for mayor of Brooklyn. In 1892
Mr.. johnson was one of the fifteen dele
! gates a. large 10 the Nv York Consti'u
| tional Convention. he was a member of
the judiciary committee and chairman of
, the committee on cities. Mr.. johnson lives
at No. 308 Clinton Avenue. He is a mem.
Der Of the Union League and other Brook

when a boy are not surprised to hear OF his
success and wish to congratulate him on his
appointment to this honorable position.
