More Difficult to Declare Peace Than
War Even After the Cause

As will be realized when the occasion
arrives declaration of peace will be Il
matter much more complicated and cele.
monious than was the declaration Il war
Spain's movements will be guided with
view of making the best possible show
ing III the formal treaty which is to bring
hostiitieS to Il close. When the Presl-
dent slnl! have become convinced OF her
sincerity in cpurting peace at the price
set BY him, he will begin to revolve the
wl,e'Is of the peace making machinery
The etiquette Of peace.making is as
strict as that OF war-making. Pending
negotiations for permanent .reace the
President may agree to an armlstlre, hat
is TO say temporary peace. Nrti'rr
sile can then take advantage OF sncll Il

,HE SUN WILMINGTON DELAWARE SUNDAY. JUNE 80 1893

Guadalupe Hidalgo, with Mexico in 1913,
was Nicolas Trist, ex-Assistant Secretary
of State.
President Mckinley will, therefore, be
permitted by precedent to appoint, as
plenipotentiaries to ..forln treaty OF
peace with Spain, almost any men in
public life who may be acceptable to all
parties concerned. Were the treaty
signed in Washington the Secretary of
State might be appointed, but it is con-
trary to custom to sign treaty OF peace
in either of the two countries at war.
The theory is that all pressure on either
side would be avoided in neutral coun-
try. The signing OF the treaty of Qua
dalupe Hidalgo, in Mexico, however, was
an exception to this rule In fact, the
treaty Of Paris, signed in 1873 between
Great Britain on one side and France,
Spain and the United States on the other,
was an exception, Paris being within the
territory of one of the Governments in
volved.
The treaty having been drawn by the
Spanish and American plenipotentaries
instructed by the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs at Madrid and the State Depart
ment at Washington, it must next be
submitted to the respective Govern
ments for ratification. 1t will, therefore,
be printed upon parchment in two edi-
tons, one English and the other Spanish.
The ratification on our part must be done
bv the Senate. The treaty having at last
been ratified by both Governments,
peace will be formally announced in
both-in America by Presidential pro-
clamation. .z
Judging from precedents the Spanish
American treaty Of peace will be an in
teresting document, from purely liter
ary point of view. Makers Of treaties OF
all kinds are fond of inserting as many
hourishes as possible. The preambles OF
treaties Of peace are especially rich with
hieh-fown phrases.
The treaty Of Paris begins thus
sin the name of the Most Holy and
Undivided Trinity: 4
"It having pleased the Divine Pr,v'
dence to dispose the hearts OF the N >.
serene and most potent Prince George
the Third, by the grace of God, King OF
Great Britain, France and Ireland, De-
fender of the Faith, Duke of Brunswick
and Luneburg, Arch Treasurer and
Prince Elector OF the Holy Roman Elm.
pire, etc., and of the United States Of
America, to forget all past misunder.
standings" etc, etc.
The treaty Of Ghent, 1914, is less pre-.
tentious in composition:-
ellis Britannia Majesty and the
United States of America, desirous Of
terminating the war which has unhappily
subsisted between the two countries. and
of restoring upon principles of perfect
reciprocity, peace. friendship and good
understanding between them" etc.
The treaty Of Guadalupe Hidalgo, lS4S
begins:-
In the name OF Almighty God:
"The United States OF America and
the United Mexican States, animated by
a sincere desire to put an end to tue
calamities of the war;" etc.
Whatever possessions of Spain may be
ceded to us by the treaty of peace will
continue under their old laws until Con.
gress formally declares them Territories
of the United States.

This from the Boston Globe: Rather
my administration should be an igno-
minious failure than that 1t should be
responsible for Jan unholy war" is
reported declaration of President Nc
Kinley. But does any American any
where ask for IAN unholy WARP" Well
in the absence of a dictionary definition
of ian unholy war" there may be room
for difference of opinion, but it would
tax even the Globes ingenuity to sug-
gest a definition of an "unholy war;
that would not include the sort of war
which the New York and Chicago vel
low papers advocate in their headlines,
dispatches and editorials A war waged
on the principle of fight first and in
yestigate afterwards" or for the sake
of party politics, would seem to come
quite within the definition of ian I'M

The introduction Of a joint resolution
for the annexation of Hawaii is a result
that has been foreseen for some weeks
The failure of the treaty to receive the
necessary two-thirds vote in the senate,
has been conceded for more than a
month, and but for the intervention of
the exciting events in Cuba, the resolu-
ton might have been introduced cartier.
That the resolution will pass the senate
by a large majority is beyond dispute,
but there is less certainty as to its fate
in the house, where Speaker Reed and
others of prominence are not at all
friendly to it. The opposition may not
be carried to the extent of obstruction,
but it is to be expected that all time
necessary for a full discussion of the
measure will be taken, and serious eff
fort made to overcome the majority
that is now believed to favor annexa-
ton in the house. All this open debate
will take time, and it will inevitably
postpone the much desired adjournment
Of congress, which had been confidently
set for the first of May. The senate will
hardly get done talking about it before
that time, and two weeks for debate in
the house with the other pending bust
nes9 would be a modest allowance. so
that adjournment seems unlikely before
the middle of May. This win especially
suit Cuban enthusiasts, who do not be-
lieve with Mr.. Dingley, that congress
would best shut up shop and go home
as early as possible:

There are not the best of reasons for
the surprise expressed because the ag-
ricultural districts are opposed to the
good roads bill that has just been
passed by the New York legislature
The farmers say they cannot afford to
pay for such luxuries, glad as they
might be to get them. 1t is estimated
that the bill would impose an expense
of 800, 900 upon the farmers, and of
course they think they are already car
rying all the taxes they can endure,
But this is not ALL Members of the
League of American Wheelqnen are not
favorably impressed with the bill They
say it is only the shadow of the bill for
which they worked so hard, and the
measure finally passed is designed more
for politics than for bicycles. That is
to say, there are to be jobs and places
for the boys. And so it goes-in boss
ridden state, there is always suspicion
and general evidence of jobbery for
somebody

There are reasons why tine confirma-
ton of the nomination of Terrence ".
Powderly as immigration commissioner,
should be applauded. There was never
any objection to him on the score of
fitness or character or ability. The OPP
position was based upon his conversion
from free silver to sound money, and
upon the fact That his well-known
prominence as a labor leader was sup
posed to have had due weight in the
last presidential election. Senator
Chandler of New Hampshire was the
only republican who voted against con-
firmation, and on the other hand there
were many democrats who voted for
the nominee. Senator Hanna's state
ment that the republican management
did not seek Mr.. Powderly, but that the
labor leader came to the committee of
his own accord and received no promise
of reward for his campaign services. is
worth remembering.

While it would be most reprehensible
in the United States to join the insurg-
ents in the effort to expel the Spanish
from Cuba, it would be quite right for
US to form an alliance with the Spanish
ministry for the suppression and ex-
termination of the Cubans In fact, if
we would be real nice and friendly to
Spain, that is exactly what we should
do. This seems to be the Spanish view
of the situation. "Non-interVention, :
translated into pure Castilian, means
assisting Spain to govern her own de-
Tendencies and to chastise her subjects
for her if need be. This is not exactly

The conditions of lease of the New
England Railroad to the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad
Company have been arranged, and they
will be contaminated if they are not
opposed by the authorities of the sew
eral states which have jurisdiction over
the property. Presumably there will be
no objection, for it may be taken for
granted that the contracting parties
have considered the legal requirements
in the case. The New York, New Haven
and Hartford Railroad Company now
has controlling interest in the other
through purchase of stock made about
two years and half ago. But this pur-
chase did not make any organic
change in the status and management OF
the property, although it resulted in
some personal changes and some COM
binations that displaced employees who
became superfiuous The present con-
ditions seem to be not wholly satisfac-
tory, and it is conceivable that for one
company to operate another by its infiu-
ence in stockholders meetings, Is not
the most direct and responsible way
There is nothing strange, therefore, in
the proposal to assume entire respon-
sibility under the usual form of a lease
This will enable the New York, New
Haven and Hartford company to man
age the New England lines directly, to
| consolidate all interest5 more perfectly
and so institute a multitude of economies
without detracting from the efficiency
of service, which, in fact, viii probably
be bettered AS an independent trunk
line it was never a success; as a sub
stantial part Of the great southern New
England system which has been built
up within the last few years, it is can
able Of greater usefulness than it has
yet developed One good feature of the
arrangement as promised is that large
part of the capital of the leased road is
to be merged by exchange in that of
the lesser company. The exchange will
be at ratio which viii lessen the ag-
gregate amount of railroad stock afoat
for all the shares received in exchange
for stock of the New Haven company
will be retired and cancelled, so far as
their merchantable quality is concerned.
The lease may be regarded as a step of
progress toward better conditions.

The San Jose scale, which was the
nominal cause of the exclusion of Cali
fornia pears and apples from Germany,
has now extended over thirty states.
This seems to be an increase of ten
states in year. At present the states
where the inscts are most numerous are
California, Maryland, Illinois, Michigan
and New Jersey, In California and
New Jersey the scale is widespread,
and in the latter state determination
has been abandoned. The most actual
damage, however, seems to have been
done in Maryland. Virginia, Ohio and
Georgia have been considerably affect
ed, but apparently not so seriously as
the other states named.

The progress of the second trial of
Mate Bran presents about the same
probabilities of delay, tedium and sus-
pense as have characterized the devel-
opment of the Spanish "war" Certain
members of the bar while protesting
belief in the guilt of the mate of the
Herbert Fuller, have said that the
chances of acquittal at the second trial
were by no means meagre. Happily,
however there is scarcity of news
papers in Massachusetts that are dis
posed to try murder cases out of court.

1t was the women who compelled the
retirement of Justice Enoch H. Foster
from the Maine supreme bench. There
was comparatively little politics in the
appointment of Col William H, Folger,
and certainly there was no question of
Judge Fosters ability, for he ranked
among the ablest. The whole story is
that the people, more especially the
members of the w. c. t. u, believed
that man Of Judge Fosters behavior
and character had no place in the SUI

Pianists should have learned some
time ago that they have no license to
ride bicycles, but Joseph Hoffman
failed to get his lesson, and therefore
he has been laid up for week with a
sprained wrist. The blame is laid on
the machine, but that won't do, for
what self-respecting bicycler ever rides
any but the best, whatever the make :?
The Hoffman excuse is absurd, If the
young man ever gave any such ex-
PLANTATION of his disaster, it is clear that
he has not mastered the foundation
principle of the cycling art.

course the snanish

OF course the Spanish protest"
against the assembly of American ships
in American ports as menace to the
success of the autonomy elections in
Cuba, is intended wholly for theatrical
and diplomatic effect. While Spain is
trying her best to buy warships abroad,
sends agents to prejudice other Euro
pean governments against the United
States, and while she has a fleet of tor
pedo boats and torpedo catchers cross
ing the Atlantic, she can hardly COM
plain of warlke preparations on our
part. AS for autonomy, that was dead
months ago. But aside from this, it
would be interesting to inquire where
Senior Sagasta would have us keep our
fleet in winter, if not at our southern
ports. Some things are done under the
name of diplomacy that would seem
simply silly if they occurred in private
or business life.
