dependence, and the respective re-
quirements therefor, as defined by the
law of nations. Now let us glance at
the second assertion, that our recogni-
tion of the Cubans as belligerents
would do them more harm than good.
UTILITY OF RECOGNITION.
1t might be sufficient to reply that
the Cubans are the best judges of that,
unless we are to carry our assumption
OF a paternal attitude to lengths oddly
inconsistent with our simultaneous re-
fusal to maintain neutrality between
the Cubans and their oppressors. 1t
is certain that a recognition of bellig-
erency and its invariable consequent,
proclamation of neutrality, were
things passionately desired by the
Spanish American insurgents in the
first quarter of this century and again
by the Texans in the thirties. Here we
may observe that Lorimer Claw of
Nations), after pointing out that, "by
recognizing belligerent rights, neutral
powers pronounce no judgment what
ever either on the merits of the claim
or the probability of it's ultimate vim
dication," goes on to say: "Belliger-
ent recognition is a mere declaration
of impartiality. To withhold from the
claimant for recognition the rights of
belligerency. while we extend them to
the parent state, would be- plainly, to
take part in the war" on the side of
the parent state. To a similar effect
writes Pomeroy international Law:
ITO refuse such recognition Uhat of
belligerencyJ might under certain cir
cumstanCes, have the direct effect of
causing the state so refusing to take
the part of the mother country against
the rebels. As a consequence, if an
other power would remain strictly neu-
tral to the contest that very attitude
must involve the recognition of the in
surgents as belligerents. Unless an
other power desires to take active part
in the hOstilities and throw the weight
of its influence, and, under some cir
cumstanCes, the positive aid of its eX-
ccutive powers, IN favor of the mother
country, it must treat the rebels as
belligercnts."
A single example will suffice to show
that, at present, we do not even pre-
tend to be neutral between Spain and
Cuba, and that the Cubans may suffer
grievously from our Withholding neu-
tral rights. Under our neutrality act,
it is a misdcmeanor to fit out or pro-
vide the means for Il vessel with the
object Of cruising or committing hos
tilities against any foreign prince or
state. The Cubans. therefore, and their
American friends. are dcbalred from
fitting out vessels in American ports
to further the Cuban cause. As mat
tcrS now stand. however, and in the
absence of a recognition of Cuban
belligcrcnCy Spain has a perfect right
to equip cruisers in this country for
use in Cuban waters against her re-
Noltcd colOniats. OF this state of things
sln took advantage IN the last Cuban
r'"olution. by fitting out here some
thirty gunboats. Could th"re he a
clearer demonstration of the fact that
there can be no such thing as .cu-
traiity UetN cen a parent g'utn 1't in

the latter has been rCorguir 90

the great cotton mills Of New Japan.
In these mills some il,i00 women are
emil. q. ranging in age from 9 to 40
years. Most of them are brought from
the country to the great cities, under
fiVe-year contracts that make them
practically slaves, and they work
twelve hours a day FOR an average
laiiy wage of 80 sen, or about cents.
Of this sum they pay 3 cents a day
for food and lodging in barracks owned
by the companies Nothing extra is
paid for night work. The machinery
stops only on alternate sundays, and
even that interruption is not to give
the operatives rest, but that necessary
repairs may he made. Working under
such conditions it is small wonder that
the women Of the mills are the first to
fall victims to every epidemic, or that
the death rate among them is enOr-

writer, what are we to say of our

always, indeed, arrives a moment at
which such concession is made (as
i'm the case of the late southern IN
surrection in the United States) by the
very government against which the re-

Manning goes on to say that the
main difficulty encountered by thlru
parties lies in ascertaining the moment

"It must neither be so premature as

AS to what constitutes premature

circumstances of each particular case
but always i'm the light of its own pre-
Cedents. During the struggle OF the
Spanish- American mainland colOnlsts
for their independence, as we nave
seen, and again upon the revolt OF the
Texans from Mexican rule, the umleu
States granted, at a very early p.rlod
in the contest, the rights OF pelllSer-
ency to the insurgents.
OF course, it is condition precedent
to the recognition Of rebels as belllger-
ants. that the conflict shall be one

The ariuin of Yankee Doodle"

Yankee Doodle. is claimed by
many nations. 1t was known in
England as ''Nankee Doodle" in the
time OF Charles /. The Hollander
had an old song to this air called
"Y mixer Dudel." 1t is said TO be
also an old French vintage song, a
native Hungarian air, and the ancient
music of the sword dance Of the Bis
cayans. In June, 1855, DR.. Richard
Schuckburgh, regimental surgeon
under General Braddock, thought to
play joke On the ragged, tattered
Continentals by palming off the
"Nankee Doodle of the time of
Cromwell upon the Colonial soldiers
as the latest martial music. 1t at
once became popular, but quarter

1t remained for the representative
magazine Of the Middle West, The
Midland Monthly, Of Des Moines, to
give to the world the solution OF the
historical question, "Who notified the
War Department of John Browns
proposed raid on Harper's Ferry, and
what was the informant's motive?"
Ex-Governor Cue, in the February
Midland, assuming his full share OF
responsibility for the act, relates the
whole story of the anonymous letter
with a candor which precludes further
question. Governor Cues admissions
will compel a rewriting of the
history of the John Brown Movement.
Other interesting features of the
February Midland are the latest por-
traits of Nellie Grant Sartoris and
her son and two beautiful daughters;
a portrait of Christina Rossetti,
painted by her gifted brother, with
an appreciative review of her poems;
