PROTEST THAT COMES TOO
LATE.

The Spanish press is now declaring
that the assertion by the United States
of the right to intervene in the Cuban
case is offensive, and may be taken
to be an act of war. With this they
are seeking to anger the Spanish people
the more, and to stir them to greater
hostility towards America. But ali this
is a sudden awakening on the part of
the press.
In his last message to Congress Pres
ident Cleveland said that when it be-
came manifest that Spain was unequal
to the task of dealing with the insur-
rection in Cuba, that her sovereignty
was extinct in the island, for all pur-
poses of rightful existence; when the
struggle for its maintenance has de-
generated into a hopeless strife, mean
ing only the useless sacrifice of life
and the destruction of the very subject
matter of the conflict" then and in
that event the United States of Amer
lea will have met a condition lin which
our obligations to the sovereignty of
Spain will have been superseded by
higher obligations which we must rec
ognize and discharge
Now that, as has been we'll pointed
out by San Francisco contemporary,
was the assertion of the right to inter-
vene. Such assertion, it is conceded by
all writer's on international law, may
be accepted as an unfriendly declara-
ton. But if it is not so received, and
no protest is made against it, concur
renee in it's rightfulness is conceded.
Spain did not protest against that ex-
preston. She, therefore, admitted that
there might arise conditions under
which we would be justified in inter-
vening.
When Mr.. Mckinley came into office
in 1897, in his first message he asserted
the right of the United States to in
tervene in Cuban affairs, whenever in
its judgment the need developed. Short
ly after that he instructed our Minister
| at Madrid to inform the Spanish Gov
ernment that the United States would
wait ''only a reasonable time for Spain
to establish her authority and restore
peace and order in Cuba" and that IAN
indefinite period could not be contem-
plated" for such waiting
Spain did not protest against this
assertion of the right to intervene. She
has at no time since objected to it, or
taken it, as she had a right to do to
be an unfriendly expression. On the
contrary she replied to us with diplo-
matte courtesy, saying that she was
doing, and would do all that was neces-
sary to pacify the island.
| 1t is, therefore, now too late for the
| Spanish to raise the objection that the
| assertion of the right to intervene is
offensive. She has conceded that right.
From the time President Grant assert
ed it and advised its application and
an enforcement with arms; from the
time when in 1896 the Senate and
House of Representatives asserted it
by joint resolution, to this hour Spain
has not only not protested, but has
admitted the right and accepted the
| assertion of it, as not unfriendly, or
cause for war. She is now too late with
her protest.

SPANS HASTE TO RECOGNIZE
OUR REBELS.

Those who are for further temporiz-
ing with Spain and giving greater time
to that nation before recognizing a
state of belligerency on the Island of
Cuba between the insurgent force and
the Spanish force, are glib in denying
that Spain recognized the Confederates
with undue haste
To set at rest beyond all question of
debate the contention referred to we
quote a few historical lines from a re-
port made to the United States SEN
ate by the Committee on Foreign Re-
lations January %, 1896, in support of
resolutions favoring recognition of the
belligerency of the Cuban rebels. The
committee said:
THE last great precedent was that Of
the civil war which broke out in the
United States in the spring of 1861. In
that instance without waiting for the
outbreak of actual hostilities, further
than the bloodless attack on Fort
Sumter and it's surrender April 13,
1861, the British Government issued it's
proclamation of neutrality on the 18th
Of May following, before it had received
official information that war existed,
except as a blockade of certain insur-
gent ports. The French Government
acted in concert with Great Britain
but delayed the official announcement
until June. The Spanish Government
issued its proclamation of belligerency
June 18th, and the first battle of our
war was not fought until July 21st, nor
known at Madrid until August"

Her deepening eyes dwell on me ever

With such a look perchance as Mary

Chaste as the Virgins self; if 'twere

Whether she loved and lost, or loves

She will not soothe my Importantly,

When Putting Away Furs.

Shake and brush the furs thoroughly,
hanging them in the open air-in the

stout wrapping paper, being careful that
no rent exists to give entrance to the

then inclose it in an outside wrapper
of paper, pasting up the ends, and one

Evidently Spain bases her hope for a
peaceful settlement of the Cuban ques-
ton upon the expectation that the
United States would compel the Cuban
insurgents to accept home rule, with al
legiance to the Spanish crown acknow-
lodged. and a Vieeroy ruling in the
island But this hope cannot be realized

1t is said in the dispatches that the
Pope expresses his friendship for the
cause of Spain in Cuba and gives the
Government his blessing AMI prayers
for its success. Either the Pope is lied
about, or he is not the Christian he
is reputed-or, perhaps the old man is
in his dotage, and forgets that the
people of Cuba as well as those of
Slain are of his spiritual fold. This
is a case in which the church should
either keep hands off, or pray for both
sides with equal fervor, and thus even
things UP between the people of its
faith

Unless we are greatly misled by
news advices in this country the people
of Spain are Systematically deceived.
The real news is kept from them. They
are fed by a fiery press with matter
that passes official censorship. and la
Dor under the impression that with
their 100000 against our $4,000 900
they have but a summer days task in
the way of wiping the earth With us.
On this side of the water we are prob
ably somewhat misled by uuder-esti-
mates of Spanish strength and re-
source, and the aid Spain may be able
to command from friendly monarchies
in the way of money loans. Neverthe-
less, it is perfectly clear that if the
Spanish could be informed, as are
other peoples, of the exact facts in
the case of Cuba and in the matter of
the Maine, there would be less fiery
spirit manifest among them. But then,
6S per cent. of the Spanish neither
read nor write. and take theic news
from the gossip of the town common
and the bull ring.

Honorable nations do not provoke
wars for mere love of fighting. Nor
do they cowardly sneak out of them
for fear of punishment. The just quar-
rel is armed with the right, and the
honorable man or nation never en-
cages in an unjust one.

THEBEGINNING OF PRECEDENTs

International lawyers are reported as
saying that there is no precedent for
the intervention by one nation in the
affairs of another on the grounds of
humanity. Indeed! Well, that good
old standby commentator Wheaton,
says there is a principle justifying it,
but the inhumanity must be ex-
treme." That fits the Spanish case to
a nicely. This fear to move unless
some one has trod in advance is the
very cowardice of law. Suppose there
is no precedent for a given case. does
that mean that there never shall be?
Precedents, like life and death. must
have beginning. Precedent is never
reason, because it is precedent. It is
simply example, though it may be and
most often is based on reason. But why
should lawyers forever be leaning upon
the staffs Of others? The truth is that
he is the best lawyer, as he is the
strongest man, who proves his case
and maintains his position upon the
soundness OF the reason underlying it,
regardless Of precedents.

The San Bernardino Sun warns the
people that unless something is done

scheme is to open them TO a favored
few sheep men, who viii be permitted
to drive in their fiocks while all others
are kept out, and it winds up by charg
ing that the scheme has its birth in
the conspiracy of a few modest Los
Angeles parties. We do not share fear
with the Sun That such an effort
is afoot is true, but the Federal Gov
ernment is not so easily moved upon
as our contemporary fears. 1t will not
make any such order without giving
opportunity for a hearing on the part
of friends of forests preservation. How
ever, the Suns" alarm may serve
good purpose But it should reflect
that permission granted to drive stock
across the reservations to green feed
in greater attitudes. is not opening the
reservations by any means.
