Our friend was SO unquestionably right In his
first action that we take his signature to DO
disguise. He Is not what he signs himself.
Certainly 1t was proper for him to ask the lady
TO take off her hat. 1t Is the privilege of ono
person, man or woman, to request o second per
son, woman or man. to refrain from encroach-
ing in any way on the rights of others, as did
this lady when wearing a plumed hat. What
was right before the second rising of the curtain
was right afterward. and any privilege which
our correspondent had at tho beginning with
reference TO the lady continued to the end OF the
performance.
In the politeness of his heart he should have
assumed that her putting on the hat again was
not rudeness. but forgetfulness. women having
been accustomed to wear hats In theatres for
years. and to consider their own comfort moro
than that of others since barbarian gave way
to civilization. Woman has been treated
for centuries with such knlghtly courtesy by
men that she Is not accustomed to think of
others with a mans persistence and sharpness.
The resumption of the hat In question. there
fore, was bad or unbalanced education, not
evil intent.
The request tor the removal of the hat would
have been repeated with propriety; and modesty
need not have shrunk from making 1t. Our
friend could have made 1t In person or through
the usher.

He expressed the belief that such pres

senator, ''of losing Cuba. Porto Rico. the

A perfect storm of applause swept
through the galleries. which the speaker
had considerable difficulty in subduing.
He warned the galleries hat no demon
stration OF approval or disapproval
would be permitted: but the next ut
terance of Mr.. Bailey doubled the APP
plause.
Those galleries" said Mr.. Bailey,
waving his hands toward the thronged
galleries, ARE only a miniature OF the
American people. II congress could
face the galleries of the people they
would force this house to action"
This time the speaker sternly warned
the galleries that IL the demonstration

Mr.. Hopkins (Rep., Ills.) suggested
that there was need of discretion at
such times as these. 1--WE cannot ad-
vertise our weaknesses" said he, NOR
make war preparations with a brass
hand"
Mr.. Cannon said there was time for
speech, a time for silence and time for
action. This was the time for action.
The president should be permanently
empowered to make temporary fortii-
cations for the national defense. He
declared that Mr.. Bailey was posturing.
and said he had thought he CBailey)

PLAIN CASE OF TREAcHERY.

Washington, April 5.-Senator Mitchell
Of Wisconsin, who is one OF the most
conservative men in the senate and has
never advocated Intervention in Cuba
until since the receipt OF the report OF
the Maine disaster, received letter yes
terday from Paul ID. Carpenter Of Mil
waukee, a son of Matt Carpenter. In
which an argument for peace is made
and I'm which the report OF the Spanish
court OF inquiry is cited as ground for
not accepting as conclusive the finding
OF our own court that the Maine was de-
ntroyed by an external explosion. To
nis letter Senator Mitchell replied as
follows:
My dear sir-Your favor of the End
inst. to hand. have never favored
armed interference I'm Cuban affairs.
did not feel that we were bound to
redress the wrongs of Cuba by resort
ing to war: but the Maine episode Will
not down. Over-refinement of argument
is useless. II stands before the Ameri-
can people a plain case of treachery.
Perhdy and cruelty run in the Spanish
blood; there is little else in its history.
Any nation that would permit such an
outrage 70 go unpublished would not de-
serve to exist. There are some things
worse than war; there are some things
better than money"
