SPANS FAILURE.

sSpain has failed to perform her
treaty obligations, and other interna-
tional duties toward the United States
To give a minute specification of the
derelictions would necessarily extend
this paper. They are the familiar mat
ters of current history. Americans
have been arrested and imprisoned
without a show of proof, and have
been proceeded against by violent
forms in violation of treaty regula-
.The assassination of Ruiz. an
American citizen, was the act of
Spanish officials who held him in Gus
t6dy. unwarranted by his treaty rights
No reoaration has been made for this
oct although it has been demanded by
this government A justifiable cause
for intervention has been afforded by
the barbaTity with which Spain has
conducted her military operations; by
her slaughter of captured insurgents,

than 100000 of her own non-combat-

OPINION OF JURIsTs.

Conflict of opinion among jurists upon
the subject OF Intervention is very
gIeat. Arntz maintains that the right
OF intervention exists when one state
violates or threatens the rights of an
other state, while, on the other hand.
Guisot declares that one state has the
right 10 intervene in another state only
wien its own safety renders it indis-
pensable- Between these extremities of
opinion, differences among publicists
are various and irreconcilable Quoting
from Professor Hall and others, in sup
port of the right of intervention in
cases similar to that of Cuba, the report
states as follows:
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-04-14
RIGHT OF INTERVENTION.

IF these opinions state the correct
rules, as we believe they do, the right
OF intervention by the United States
in the present instance is undoubtable.
The balance of power and the Mon
roe doctrine are both policies of inter-
vention TO be effected in certain con-
tingencies in furtherance of national
politics, and to justify which, no canon
The former has profoundly affected the
relations OF the European states, and
the independence of many of these SOW
ereignties. The latter has kept the
power of Europe out of the American
continets ever since it was promul-
gated.

Washington, April 1S.-The report Of
the senate committee on foreign rela-
tons on the Cuban situation was made
by Senator Davis, chairman of that
committee, and was very thorough
review of the entire situation. and a
strong presentation OF the facts which
has led the committee TO its conclu-
sions. The report takes up the Maine
disaster as the leading topic for con-
sideration. and plunges into that ques-
ton in its first sentence, which is as
follows:
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-04-14
THE ONLY MEANS.

Further justification, for interven-
ton in the present case, is found in
the fact that it is the only means of
eXtirpating an otherwise incurable and
dangerous evil.
The conduct of the European pow
ers respecting Turkey has been pur-
suant to the policy which impels one
nation to intervene in the affairs of
another state to stop cruelty and mas
sacre, and, if necessary, to depose it
from sovereignty. The fact that Spain
is a Christian state does not give her
greater warrant to eXterminate her
subjects than Mahommedan Turkey
possessed to eXterminate hers.

Senator Roes comparison Of the old
Constitution with Nelson's famous flag
ship Victory, at the hearing in Boston,
was very appropriate. The vessel which
won probably the most glorious Of
American naval victories, should be pre-
served no less carefully by a patriotic
people than the ship on which England's
greatest marine hero fell in flis hour of
triumph at Trafalgar. The preservation
Of the Constitution as an object 1esson
for American youth of all time should
interest the whole country. If the ma
tional government would reconstruct
the precious hulk to look as it did in the
days Of its prime and its renown, it
would be a good deed accomplished at
a comparatively small cost. Otherwise,
the Constitution should certainly be
presented outright to Massachusetts. a
state where patriotism has never
waned. Massachusetts would be ready
to give ar example of this fact should
the government be unwilling to incur an
expense in which all our seaboard states
might fittingly share. At all events the
Constitution must not be allowed to
waste away much longer.

Certain paper manufacturers and book
publishers, with certain other business
interests closely allied with them, are
again flooding the country with Htera-
ture denunciatory of what they are
pleased to call the Infamous Loud
postal bill. They want no postal reform
which interferes with the advantages
which they now possess. The govern
ment is carrying an enormous amount
of matter for them at a great loss. Stop
this leak and the postal service will be
relieved of an incubus which ought to
have been removed long ago. The pas
sage by congress of the Loud postal bill
will effect notable reform. 1t remains
to be seen if the great lobby which has
been organized against it's passage will
continue to be effective at Washington.
There is another great burden imposed
on the postal system. 1t has to pay the
railroads thirty million dollars a year
for carrying the mails. Twenty millions
would be a large sum to pay for this
service. But the government is help
less. The railroads fix the price to suit
their own convenience. In the face of
competition, this work would doubtless
be sought for at cost of only ten mill
lions. Herein may be found good ar
gument for the government control of
the railways of the country. If these
two great swindles could be stopped,
there is nothing the postal service could
not do for the public, for it would have
millions of money to spend which now
go to fatten corporate and private
greed

The present hopeless outlook for the
liberal party in England is emphasized
by the disagreement between them and
the Irish members of the parliament.
The liberals are not in favor of the idea
of an Independent parliament for Ire
land, which was looked forward to in
defeated amendment offered by Mr..
Redmond to the proposed bill for the
reform of local government in Ireland.
They hold that such an idea is wholly
opposed to Mr.. Gladstone's bill, in which
the supremacy of the imperial parlia-
ment was an essential feature. On the
other hand, the Irish members will
withdraw their support from the liberals
unless the latter agree to head their
program with home rule All this
strengthens the hands of the conserva-
tives, despite the i'll success of Lord
Salisbury's government in some matters
of foreign policy. The conservatives
possess fixed policies. while the other
English parties are seriously divided
among themselves.

The furry in Chinese waters appears
to have, quieted down, with Japan the
winner Of the finalgtricks That nation
will hold the important port Of Wei-Hai-
Wei indefinitely in lieu of the indemnity
which China is unable to pay. When
Japan Inundated China and showed to
the world how impotent in a military
sense was this great oriental empire, the
land-grabbing powers of Europe came
promptly forward to share in the plum
der. They made Japan give up the
stronghold of Port Arthur to Russia.
Germany secured valuable plunder, and
it looked as if Japan, who had f1ogged
China singly and alone, was to lose all
the places Of strategic Importance
which it had captured. But the threat
ening international crisis appears to
have ended at last, with honors for
Japa-. But the hapless Chinese empire
has too many foreign national flags per-
manently planted on it's seaboard to
make the situation agreeable to the ce-
lestials.

OUT AND ABOUT.
COMMENT AND NEWS FROM MANY
SOURCES.
At the Public Library-why the Chill
dren Like the Exhibition-Not St.
Paul, But Minneapolis-Mo Pu-
pills Concert-Valentines

The exhibition of casts and photo
graphs bought by the Public School Art
League, and of pictures belonging to
the Free Public library, has proved
very attractive to the general public,
and particularly so to the school chill
dren. 1t will. therefore, be kept open
for the present. It will be open Satur-
day evening from to 9, as we'll as in
the afternoon from 3~to 6 and Sunday
afternoon from to o'clock. People
who do not like to climb stairs should
remember the elevator which runs from
the basement to the exhibition.
Up to the opening of the exhibition
Saturday afternoon, the rooms had been
visited by 1859 persons, a truly phenom-
email figure when compared with the
number of visitors to other exhibitions
of public and more or less popular
nature previously here in Worcester.
The reception accorded these pictures
and casts is significant of one very i'm
portant fact which should be taken to
heart by those deSirous of uplifting the
masses" by means Of entertainments
or exhibitions of any kind, 1t is this.
that the people know their own and
love it, and can be depended upon to
recognize and to cherish it; and that
conversely. it is useless to expect them
things in which they have and can have
no real part. Ownership, possession!
Because that is one Of the basal in
stincts of humanity, this exhibition, Of
which it is the very root and fibre, is a
success. Intrinsically it is no more
popular than many another exhibit
tion that Worcester mas seen. But such
as it is, all there is of it belongs or will
belong to the people. and they realize
the fact and appreciate it. And that
is why 5000 people have been, to the ex-
hibition within 10 days; why 102 of
children, of whom 20 We're boys, waited
outside yesterday for the doors to open
and when the moment arrived, burst
into the room with a whoop of low
They had not come for the purpose Of
being elevated or uplifted, or of inspect
ing an art exhibition, or of fulfilling a
social duty. They came to look at a col
lection of objects over which they al
ready felt pleasant sense of proprie-
torship and in which accordingly they
already felt genuine interest.
If popular exhibitions could be like
this always, without the taint Of con-
descension or propagandism or class
separation, they might succeed in really
being popular.

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 1s, 1898.

Lincoln's birthday was very markedly
observed in New York Saturday by the
closing of all banks and exchanges and
by several notable banquets and meet
ings. Its observance in other parts of
the country, while not so marked, was
nevertheless quite as genuine. The day
on which the man was born, who, more
than any one since the death of Wash
ington, has left a deep and lasting i'm
press on the minds and hearts Of his
fellow-countrymen of succeeding gen
erations, must never be forgotten A
Lincoln's day helps eminently to render
indelible that memory.

The report comes from Vienna that
Emperor Francis Joseph, now weighted
down with years, domestic sorrows and
cares of state, intends to celebrate the
fiftieth anniversary of his succession to
the double crown of Austria-Hungary
which comes this year, in an important
manner. In short, he is about to turn
over the business Of governing a very
much divided population to his eldest
nephew, Archduke Francis Ferdinand
This is the young man who has hereto
fore been thought too unwell to lead an
be entirely restored to health; and this
means that Otto, the ''black sheep of
the imperial family" will not have the
opportunity feared, of becoming emper-
or and king.
Francis Ferdinand is represented as a
very tafenteds yotihg fellow. tdevoted to
all the arts and sciences, and not at all
the fool which the prophets of dire di-
saster for the Austro-Hungarian mon
archy have set him down to be. If he
marries the Princess Elizabeth, daugh-
ter of the late Crown Prince Rudolph,
as proposed. the danger cf q dynastic
separation between the dual states,
Austria and Hungary, will be dimin-
ished; and with the passing of that
danger, one of the chief causes of wor-
ry on the old emperor's part, will dis
appear.
Francis Joseph apparently does not
intend to abdicate, like one or two
other monarchs of the Hapsburg line;
but to merely shift his responsibilities
to one whom his political shrewdness
tells him is the most fitting of his heirs
under existing circumstances.
