THosE PEACR ApYOCArEs.

There are MANY persons in America
who are sorry THAT the present war be-
gam, and who are earnestly desirous that
Il should come to an early termipation;
but there are no true Americans who
would see such a result brought about
al the expense of the national honor.
There are other persons, OF sanguinary
temperament, who would have war at
any cost and for ain indefinite period.
Then there is a third class of persons
who are for peace at any price, and 1t
is of a certain portion Of this element
that we propose to speak.
The Universal Peace Union has ad-
dressed letter to THE queen regent Of
Spain, Offering her the sympathies Of
the American people. expressing ths
hope that fright" will sustain her and
offering her an asylum in this country
il She is driven from the throne by her
own subjects.
The whole thing is treasonable, in
suting, lying and foolish. In the first
place the Congress OF the United States
represents the people OF this country
and speaks for them. II has seen fit
to declare war upon Spain. and, by 20
doing, it has spoken for the American
pcJp,e. In the second place, the peo-
pie of the United States have not dele
gated the Universal Peace Union TO ex-
tend TO the queen regent OF Spain Their
sympauhies or anything else. It's ex-
pressions represent nobody's opinioss
but Those Of the peace-at-any-pr ad-
vccates. BY assuming THAT the queer
regent OF Spain has the right of tht
cause on her side, they declare that th,
United States lis prosecuting a war c.
injustice and oppression; and by offer
ing her an asylum in this country the,
extend a hospitality which they know
would be extended to any unfortunab
woman who should happen to be driver
from her owm country by the violenc
Of her political enemies. This is not

as woman, but against a politica
system which is based on oppression

OUR EFFICIENT FoRCE.

Between The Beard OF Police Com
missiousrs and Chief of Police John f.
Dolan, Wilmington has to-day the most
efficient body Of police THAT it has ever
had since it became a municipality. The
credit for this condition belongs chiefly
to the latter, for HE is possessed Of pecu-
liar amid unusual executive ability. He
possesses himself of the confidence, re-
spect, and friendship of the men on Tho
force Without permitting them to pre-
sumo upon those relations to the inn
pairment of the efficiency OF the SER
vice. He has The confidence of the
community, and especially of THAT por-
ton of it which is most resirOus THAT
peace amid good order prevail Those
who have no respect for the law have
"a wholesome respect for the man,
knowing that they must observe the
law or suffer the consequences, for he
is not one who will permit them 10 set
the law at defiance or to bring him and
his administration into public discredit.
Since HE has been I'M control of the po-
ice the worst scandal THAT has at
tached to the force was THAT it daIbbled
in Politics. 1t is next to impossible TO
get a PARTISAN pol.ce force, or even a
non-partisan one, which will mot do
that to a greater or lesser degree;
hence, whatever interested politicians
MAY have thought Of the action, the
public ,czt none of its confidence and
feeling Of security by reason thereof.
Under existing conditions it is under
stood that THE police are not to take
an active part in politics either at the
primaries or general elections, and if
Chief Of Police Dolan passes his word
to that effect 1t may be relied upon
that he win keep it.
On Monday the inspection Of the po-
lice force will be made by the city Off
cia's We feel confident that the ap-
pearance of the men Will be all that
even the most captious critic could de
sire. and that the chief will be heartily
congratulated upon his successful adj

Corn Exports.


Corn Exports.
NEW YORK. May 2s.-R. C. Dun &
Co. S weekly review of trade says:
The nation faces war with reviving
volume of business. The west is doing
its part and more, but at the east also
the volume of business is now expand
ing. without abatement in any impor-
tant line, the great outgo of wheat and
corn continues TO stimulate business at
the west, and railroad earnings show an
increase oyer last year Of ISL per cent.
IN trunk lines 8.S per cent, in granger
roads 22,6 per cent and in other western
roads las per cent.
This Is largely because of the enor-
nous movement Of breadstuffs. ATTAIN
nc exports OF wheat. -four included,
nave been &726,442 bushels for the week.
against l,536,60 last year. though Pa
enc exports were only 92,184 bushels,
against 5l4,955 last year. Wheat re-
ce'pts at the west do not diminish. but
run Iar beyond those of a year ago-for
tne week'4,625.253 bushels, against 2. $685.
173 last year.
1hef marvel is still the enormous for
elsn buying of corn, exports having
reached 5550,595 bushels for the week
against l.5s4,5l1 last year. and in four
weeks the exports have been 2O2S5.O
bushels against 9.36OO91 last year. Yet
corn closes l.H cents lower for tho week,
although wheat, after rising from s1.56
70 Sl.66 for May. fell to $1.56 on Thurs
gay while July options rose 2 cents.
Ohiciai and all other accounts agree in
estimating that the wheat Yield will be
remarkably large this year, in spite of
the fact That the California crop has
oeen r1vch damaged by want of rain.
Failures for the week have been 245 in

A JAPANEsE DINNER.

Mrs. MimOli G. Fraser writes enter
tainingly of a Japanese dinner. He
found the great room upstairs half full
Of people, who were seated in a semi
circle at one end. Charters was a little
late, and the rest had begun the indes-
cribable meal which is called Japanese
dinner" she says.
"All the strangest products of earth,
regardless Of precedence, hustle each
other on the small square table before
the guest, and little by little overflow
its bounds, and are placed on the floor
around him-a growing nebula Of tiny
plates, many Of which he will not touch
II he be wise. What strikes him first,
perhaps, is the uncanny familiarity Of
some Of them. If this is really his first
visit to little Japan, where could he
possibly have seen three pink shells ly-
ing On golden straw in a scarlet plate?
Or large white fish with beseeching
countenance comfortably put to bed
among sprouting rushes, all appar-
emily growing out of the meshes Of that
fairy basket work? Where in the name
Of sanity has he had sugar peOnies and
chrysanthemums, done to the life dOu-
bic their natural size, or octOpl and red
crabs artistically chasing each other on
plates OF corrugated glass? Are these
the stuff that dreams are made Of?
Then he remembers, Of course, they
have all come out Of the embroideries
and off the lacquered tables Of his
childhood. The dinner is an object les
son in exquisite arrangement of form
and color. and should be regarded as
such. Viewed as food it is distinctly
unsatisfactory, and far, far too satisfy
ing! The impression on arising, stiff

AS mo- InRY YERDICrs.

II you but give the Every Evening
sufficient time it will repudiate its own
editorials. We wish to call the atten-
tion of our readers to the following edi-
torial which appeared in its columns
last evening:
Once In awhile a jury renders a YER
dict that Is so incomprehensible as TO
shake the public faith In jury yerdicts
as a means Of securing that full JUSTIFY
between man and man so necessary TO
society. Such a verdict was that re-
turned by the jury in the Fisher case
in the General Sessions Court, yester-
day afternoon.
The defendant in this case was ac-
cused OF a capital crime, and five men
held out for quite a while against
verdict Of guilty as indicted, thus In
dicating that they did not think the
man should be hung. Finally, they
gave in and agreed to verdict OF
hanging This was especially surpris-
ing, In view OF the fact that the verdict
could have been modified to a crime
the penalty for which is pillory, lashes
and Imprisonment for ten years.
But, more surprising than all is the
action OF the jury in condemning the
man to the gallows, and then recon-
mending him to the mercy Of the
court, which now has no discretion in
the matter, but must impose the death
sentence. What induced the jury to
make this recommendation will prob
ably ever be a mystery, even to the
jurymen themselves.
It has been but few days since this
same Every Evening was lauding to
the skies the good sense and judgment
of the jury which returned a verdict Of
guilty against Colonel E. T. Cooper.
These FIVE men in the case OF the ne
gro Fisher held out for quite q wlGle
against a verdict OF guilty as indicted
thus Indicating that they did not think
the man should be hung"
We wish to call the attention Of the
Every Evening to the fact that for over
seventy hours the jury in the Cooper
case held out because from six to seven
OF the twelve men believed him to be
innocent and voted accordingly. I'i
nally, these men who believed him in
nocent agreed to end their confinement
by returning him guilty Of conspiracy
and recommending him to the mercy o.
the court. In their hearts those jurors
felt that Colonel Cooper was innocent
but they were willing to qualify thei
honest convictions to the extent abovl
set forth for the convenience Of them
selves and their colleagues on the jury
We agree with the Every Evening il
IDS statement that "once in awhile
jury renders a verdict that is so incom
prehensible as to shake the publi
faith in jury verdtcts as means Of Sc
curing that full Justice between maj
and man so necessary to society"
