PERSONAL.

George W Burkett, who served during the
war in the Union army as a private, is now
a rich contractor, and resides at Houston,
Tex. He has started to raise picked
regiment for service against Spain, and
proposes to make it the finest regiment
ever placed in the field. He has begun by
a donation of 81 ,000 to it.
Last December Miss Sarah Layton
Walker. daughter of Past COmmander-in-
Chief Ivan n. Walker, of indianapolis, was
married to Morris Black, a leading young
lawyer of Cleveland, o., and a member OF
the City Council. He became nationally
known because of his opposition to Mayor
McKissen in his fight with Hanna. Black
was the only opponent OF the Mayor who
secured a denomination. Last week he
died suddenly in Toledo, o., of peritonitis.
Gen. Walker and his daughter have the
sympathy of the comrades.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Assistant Secretary Davis has made a
very important decision overruling Pen
sion Commissioner Evans's Order $50,
which prohibited any consideration of a
claim for an increase of pension, until
IL months shall have elapsed after
allowance or rejection.
The Assistant Secretary says that a
great injustice may result to a large
number of claimants from an enforce.
ment Of the order, and therefore the
order is revoked and set aside, and
hereafter the Commissioner will adjudi-
cate increase claims in accordance with
the order of Commissioner Dudley issued
Nov. Is, 1882.
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1898-03-31
THE RESPONSIBILITY.

The report of the Name disaster has
been received by the President, and
sent by him 10 Congress, with message
containing no recommendations, and
sim ply expressing the belief that the
sense of justice of the Spanish Nation
will dictate n course of action suggested
bv honor and the friendly relations OF
the two Governments"
Probably it was the correct diplo-
matte thing to make such an expression.
Down in the Presidents heart, as in the
heart of every other sensible man, there
is an absolute certainty that Spain will
do nothing of the kind. The Spanish
Government, as was to be expected, has
already announced to the world It's firm
decision that the Maine was destroyed
by internal causes, due to lax discipline
and gross carelessness. 1t did this with
out waiting fol-. the report of any investi-
CATION, subsequently reiterated it on the
basis of an alleged investigation by Its
own divers, and it will greet tie find
ings of our own Board with a diplo-
matte denial which will be none the
less firm and contemptuous.
What will be the next step?
In the ordinary affairs of life, when
one man asserts that he has been griev-
ously wronged by another and that other
denies the truth of his statement and
refuses TO make reparation, then, if the
aggrieved party does not propose TO sub
init TO the wrong he must cast about for
his remedy. For this purpose laws are
made and courts Of justice instituted.
a Nation is merely an aggregation of
individuals. But the smile fails to
carry on farther. Since there are DO
international courts made to try cases
between Nations, and adequately punish
offenders, each Nation must be the
judge of the wrongs done it, and punish
them according to its ability and OPP
portunity. 1t must do this, not as a
matter of revenge, but as duty owed
to itself and to the cause of interna
tional morals.

"Indeed you're not" said the Deacon,
putting his thumb on the hammer.
/" Do We mean to say you'll stop me?" said
the master, starting to raise his shotgun,
which he had let fall little.
Something like that, if not the exact
words" answered the Deacon calmly, look
ing at the sights of the musket with an in
terested air.
The master resumed his volley of epithets
The Deacon's face became very rigid, and
the musket was advanced to more threaten
ing position. :" told you before" he said
that l didn't allow no man to call me SIGH
names. / give You warnin' agin. Pm liable
to fall from grace, as the Methodists say. any
minnt. I'm dumbed sure to if you call me
another name"
The master glared at the rnusket 1t was
clearly in hands used to guns, and the face
behind it was not that of a man to be fooled
with beyond a certain limit. He lowered his
shotgun, and spoke sharply to the negro:
Sam, cit round here in front of the boss
and put for home at once"
Shall 90, masser?" implored the negro
anxiously. Hell done kill me. sho."
Stay where you are, till finish talkin'
to this man. commanded the Deacon. Are
you n loyal man !? - he inquired of the master
''If We mean loil to that raiI-splittin'
gorilla in Washington" replied the master,
hotly; Ito that low-down, nigger-lovin'
nigger-stealin' D.
''Shet right up" said the Deacon, bringing
up his gun in flash of anger You shant
abuse the President o. the United States any
moren you shall me, nor half so much. He's
your President, whom you must honor and
respect l won't have him blackguarded by
an unhung rebel. You say yourself you're a
rebel Then you have no right whatever to
this man, and I'm goin' to confiscate him in
the name of Abraham Lincoln, President O.
the United States. an aecoriiin' to his procia-
nation of emancipation, done at Washing
ton, District O. Columbia, III the year of our
Lord eighteen hundred and sixty three and
OF our Independence the S7th-"
This was as near the legal formula for such
an important act as the Deacon could think
of at the moment He followed it up by an
order not nearly 50 sonOrous, but quite to the
point:
Now, you jest turn your boss around and
vaeate these parts as quick as you can, ant
leave me and this eOlored man alone. We're
tired O. havin' you round. -
The master was a man of sense. He knew
that there was nothing to do but obey.

ports He can send no troops to Cuba,
nor do anything more than resist any at
tack Spain may make on us. If Con-
gress wishes any aggressive action taken,
it must specifically order the President
to take it. Possibly the President
might stretch his prerogatives so as to
consider the advance of the Spanish tor
pedo feet or the movement of Spanish
vessels as menaclng to u.s. and order our
ships to attack, but this would be re-
garded as doubtful and dangerous ex-
tension of his powers.
