The Dog Voted.

The Rev. DR.. j. c. Wingo was recent
ly reelected pastor of the Baptist
church at Carrolton by the most unani-
nous vote ever cast by it's members
1t was at the annual church meeting.
over which DR.. Fits was presiding.
one OF the members has a pet pug dog
that has been taught a number of
tricks, one being to rise to his hind legs
and walk at the command stand"
DR.. Wingo had retired in order that
the church might vote on the question
or MS reelection. One brother had
moved the reelection of DR.. Wingo.
Another had seconded the motion. and
several speeches had been made, while
the pug dog, blinking solemnly. sat in
the front part of the church. The
question was called for, and DR.. Fits
put it. All who are in favor of the
reelection of Brother Wingo will please
rise and stand"
Everybody rose and then the pug dog
got up very solemnly on his hind Ieg-
and walked around in front of the pul-
pit
Everybody laughed, and then Dr.
WIngo was informed that he had been
reelected by the unanimous vote of
the members and the dog.

THE VIEW OF AN INTERNA-
TIONAL LAW AUTHORITY.

Professor II. E. Won Hoist of the
University Of Chicago, takes exception
to the view of the Maine disaster en-
tertained by ex-Secretary of War Lin
coin The latter held that if the
Maine was destroyed by a fanatic or
some person independent of and with
out connivance of the Spanish Govern
ment that would be an end of the case
and that if the disaster was due to
carelessness of men of the ship that
would be an end of the case; that il
it happened by the act of subject or
citizen of the jurisdiction Of the Gov
eminent of place, that would be an
end of the case; that as Governments
have a right to fortify their harbors
as they please when a foreign ship en-
tiers such a harbor it does it with no.
tice of the risk involved, and no liabil
ity attaches.
Professor Won Hoist, an authority OF
international law, takes Mr.. Lincoln
up sharply and in brief holds: While
it is true nations are not responsible
for the acts of individuals, it is differ
ent if there is culpable negligence on
the part of the Government of the jur
isdiction. If a harbor is planted with'
mines or torpedoes, and the powers of
the jurisdiction assign foreign ship
place of anchorage and disaster be-
falls it, that Government is RESPONSE
BILE for the loss, and for damages by
way of indemnity for life and property
destroyed.
Readers Of the "Record-Union" will
recall that precisely that view was
taken in these columns two weeks ago,
and was deliberately argued on the
grounds Of common justice and clear
reason. Professor Won Hoist goes one
step further and holds as follows
think the liability of Spain could
not be denied If neither the place Of
anchorage was assigned to the Maine
by Spanish officials nor the explosion
was due to the criminal act of some in
dividual, but simply to some unac
countable accident. For while Spain
had unquestionably the right to pro-
vide her harbor with submarine mines
and torpedoes, she was morally bound
TO warn any ship of a friendly nation
not only a man-ofwar, but the same
holds true of any merchantman-of the
danger that would be incurred by an
chortng In that harbor except in a safe
position consigned TO her. Any Pow
er that allows a ship of a friendly ma
ton to enter her harbor thereby i'm
plicity declares that it is safe to do So
fortified or not. So in all these cases
there seems to be a clear case Of re-
sponsibility on the part OF Spain.
But all papers not dealing in sensa-
tionalism or jingoism should strongly
emphasize that this is only a liability
for damages-that is TO say, a purely
pecuniary question. For pecuniary
questions, however, nations do not rush
at once into war Supposing that the
official inquiry should establish such a
pecuniary obligation on the part Of
Spain, in our opinion, and Spain should
deny ii, it would still, I hold. be much
too early to speak of war. We have
had many controversy of this char
acter with Spain, and some of them
have been of an exceedingly aggravat-
ing character. Still we never have
gone TO war about them

New York anad Cuba Mail Steamship
Company. better known as the Ward
line, the ornaments will be composed
OF eight finch guns and eight machine
guns. A 4-inch gun fires a shot weigh
ing thirty-three pounds at the rate of
six and half a minute. On board
some of the other steamships like the
Advance and Lampasas, six 5-inch guns
are to be emplaced supplemented by
six and eight machine guns A 5-inch
gun fires a fifty-pound shot six and a
half times minute.
COMMERCE DESTROYERS.
If an attack on commerce is to be
one of the features of a war between
the United States and any other coun-
try-as undoubtedly it will be-some of
these armed steamships would be de-
tailed TO guard the trade routes, 9TH
ers would be assigned to the duty of
pursuing. capturing and destroying the
enemy's commerce, to driving it off the
seas, somewhat after the manner in
winch the Alabama operated. and other
auxiliary cruisers would be distributed
among the active lighting squadrons to
act as scouts, perhaps even to engage
in battle.
In the meantime Spain has not been
idle. In 1887 that Government en-
tered into an arrangement with the
Spanish Transatlantic Steamship Com
pany, which contemplates the estab-
Hshment of a comprehensive steamship
service and also an efficient fleet of
auxiliary mercantile cruisers for war
service. SPANS steam fleet amounts
to 40 ships Of 506, $50 gross tons For.
ty-five of these have a speed of ana
greater than twelve knots. and upward
OF twenty of the largest and best OF
the Spanish Transatlantic Company's
shlps are constructed especially with
the object of converting them into men

The American Review of Reviews"
takes a novel and interesting view of
what it terms smuggling arms and
munitions of war into Cuba. Refer
ring to the fact that the United States
has expended to date over two millions
of dollars in stopping "filibustering'
expeditions, a large percentage of
which turned out to be lawful enter
prises the magazine charges that
while we must preserve the integrity
in Cuba have the right to buy arms
and ammunition abroad; that trans
porting them into Cuba is smuggling
and that smuggling is a thing for the
Spanish revenue service to deal with.
While an armed expedition cannot be
lawfully QUILTED on American soil
arms can be lawfully sold in the Unit
ed States to Cubans in insurrection.
The Review asks why a sharper line
of distinction has not been drawn be-
tween smuggling, the Quitting of
armed expeditions, and the lawful ex
port of supplies. We must take issue
with the Review The neutrality
laws forbid the sale of arms for export
to insurgents against a Power with
which We are at peace. Smuggling is
the passing in of supplies surrepti
tiously upon which a duty is payable,
not the taking in of those things which
are to be used Extensively against
Power with which we have amicable
relations.

Patterning in fashion after the Sal
vationists and the Volunteers. a lot Of
bogus Holiness bands have sprung up
which ought to be rooted out of every
community. Impecunious fellows and
deliberate rascals organize these
street-preaching and praying concerns,
and prey upon the public for stray
nickels and dimes to support healthy
beggars in idleness. A member OF one
of these gangs was the other day held
to bail in San Francisco for rape his
little victim at this moment lying in the
Sisters Hospital in this city. An
other of a similar gang has been
hauled in for felony by the San Fran
cisco police and confesses that he is a
fraud and thief, and tells how he has
been serving the devil in the robes of
the Lord. Of course, as the people
we'll know, there are several genuine
Missions and Holiness bands conduct
ed by sincere men and good women. and
these are excluded from any criticism
here INDUCED in. But for the fake
concerns it is full time that they be
choked off and the police of all cities
will serve the public we'll by breaking
them up. Their false raiment can
easily be detected

ants. and their lack of food and medi-
cines viii give the plague unlimited ana
unchecked sway, and as a result we Will
have such a scene of horror as in the
worlds history has not been placed OF
record.
OF course there is just that possible
ity. but we do not understand how
recognition of belligerency at this time
would serve to avert the horror
pictured. It would not in any respect
restore good sanitary conditions. Rec
ognition of the independence of the Gu
bans would very little change condl-
tons, unless Spain should at once ac-
quiesce and withdraw her forces. This
no one believes she would do-at least
not Immediately There would be de-
muir and probably armed resistance.
The fever season is now so near at
hand that what is feared may come TO
pass, no matter what is done. 1t does
not seem, therefore, that recognition IL
any form would rest we'll upon so
slender a reason as that advanced, how
ever true the premises may be. II
recognition comes of any order it must
occupy the higher, better plane OF
justice to a people who have right To
be free; who, unconsenting to the form
Of government established over them,
are endeavoring to assert and make
good their right TO throw off the yoke;
that as Spain has proved so long unable
to pacify the country, the time has ar
rived when humanity demands of the
greatest Power neighboring to Cuba TO
interpose it's hand and forbid further
effusion of blood.
