CARBONDALlAN COMPLIMENTED.

The current number of the Railway
Employees Journal had an excellent half
tone portrait of G.. w. Evans, clerk of
the common council Accompanying
the picture is the following sketch of
Mr.. Evans:
He has lived in Carbondale for nearly
twenty years. where he is held in high
regard by a wide and ever broadening
circle of friends. He has been connected
with the Delaware and Hudson COM
pany since he took up his residence in
the Anthracite City, being initiated into
the business of the system at the bot
tom notch" and gradually, through his
natural ability to handle commercial
affairs and his genial manner of invok-
ing the finer feelings of his fellows,
has moved step by step along the ave-
nues of success, until now he occupies
the position at the head of the finance
of the company's Pennsylvania division
freight department in CarhOndale Mr..
Evans is always a first leader in move
ments that will tend to augment the
welfare of others. and that he is a gem
eral faVorite with the employees of the
different grades of the transportation
department is needless to append.
"On several occasions he has been
designated by popular vote to represent
his city's interests at important pOliti-
cal assemblages. and, for the past two
terms has acted in the capacity of clerk
of the common council, to which position
he was again re-appointed for an addi-
tional term on the 4th inst, the incOm-
ing board being so pleased with the re-
suit Of its review Of his past work. 1t
deemed it good precedent to retain his
services for the present term.

DECLARATION OF WAR.

From the Philadelphia Press.
A formal constitutional declaration by
congress that war actually exists may be
wise Necessary such declaration
is not. Declarations of war do not
cause hastilities, but hostilities cause
declarations. Nations do not go TO
war because Jhey declare it; but
they declare it because they have
gone to war. Our courts have decided
in a leading case that the issue Of proc
lamation of blockade is itself a decara-
ton of war without any other steps.
Prize courts, particularly English courts,
have over and again held that when =
navy is ordered to make captures the
order is itself a sufficient proof that naval
war existed and justified condemnation.
war" it is not always understood,
does not turn in the least on a deClara-
tion more or less but on acts which them
selves create a condition or war, inda-
pendent OF what is said about them
When Spain gave General Woodford his
passports with the statement that tho
passage of the resolutions adopted by
congress was equivalent to a declaration
of war" one party to possible hOstllities
recognized war as already existing by
the act Of the other and for all the pur-
poses of public law this created state
of war between them. From that mo-
ment, without reference to the date laid
down in the ultimatum either was free to
act as both were at war.
