that is that neither of them should seize
the others goods, IN case of war. on
board neutral vessel, but also that they
would not seize the goods of any Power
at war with them on board a neutral
We; ssl, IL the government of this neutral
vessel had acknowledged this principle
Now England and France have both &C.
knoWledged this principle, SO that Ameri-
can goods on the VI ssels of either of these
Powers would be safe from Spanish cap
ture. In fact, both America and Spain
have virtually acknowledged the principle
by mutual agreement, and the agreement
is such as to cover the signers of tina
declaration of Paris. Neither Spain nor
the United States has ever agreed to re-
frain from privateering SO that In case OF
war either OF them might have recourse
to that method of destroying the others
commerce. Pr1vateering would not now
be what it was once, when practically
all vessels were sailing vessels, and it is
doubtful if it would prove very effective
if practiced. AS we have very few ships
engaged in the foreign trade our only
vulnerable point would be the coasting
trade, and our navy could probably very
etTectually protect that. 1t is altogether
improbable that our government would
resort to privateering, even if Spain did,
for the reason that there is among the
great maritime nations very strong sem
timent against it.

THE MARCH OF 1898.

(From the Hartford COurant.
Uncle Sam had worries on his mind a
h undred years ago this present month,
as he has now. Curiously enough, Spain
was mixed up in them. That country,
in violation of it's engagements. persisted
in maintaining garrisons on territory
belonging to the United States. French
and Spanish privateers had been COM
hitting depredations on our commerce
French ones especially. Our ENJOYS to
the French republic, had met with I'M
pleasant and disc ourteous usage at Paris.
~ will never send another minister to
France" President John Adams said to
Congress, without assurances that he
will be received, respected and honored
as the representative of a great, free,
powerful and independent nation.
The almost universal belief in the
country was that war with the French
was unavoidable, and this belief was
shared by an old soldier living in honored
retirement at his seat OF Mount Vernon
on the Potomac. A few months later
duly 13, 1889, replying to an official
lieutenant-gener ! and commander in
chief of all the armies raised or to be

dent. his friend and successor: Salts

endeavored to avert war, and exhausted
to the last drop the cup of reconciliation,
we can with pure hearts appeal to heaven
fer the justice of our course. and may
confidently trust the final result to that
kind providence who has heretofore and
SO often sigually favored the people OF
these United States "
That war cloud of hundred years ago
blew over, however. The French direc-
tory disappeared from the stage; the first
consul This other name was Napoleon

the respect due to their character" a
treaty was negotiated, and the sun shone
again for the United States of America.
Let us hope that the present cloud may
pass way as har,nlessly.

1t is safe to say that If the President
has resolved to make an attempt to buy
Cuba for the insurgents, as despatch
implies, he has done So with no ex pecta-
tion of success. Spain has repeatedly re-
fused to listen to a proposition. for the
sale of the island on any terms. The
one point upon which all her statesmen
and all ..her parties agree is that Cuba
must never be sacrificed voluntarily
Rather than surrender Cuba she is ready
to go to war with a nation of more than
four times her population and twenty
times her resources. That being SO, it is
utterly useless to ask her to consider q
proposition for it's purchase. If Presi-
dent Mckinley has resolved upon max
ing trial it is simply to gain time in
the hope that the present war feeling in
this country may subside.

Spain would pay an indemnity for the
destruction of the Maine probably only
on condition that we relinquish all inten-
ion of interfering in Cuba; otherwise
O would be paying us money which
might subsequently be used to help wrest
the island from her control. The United
States, however, will never agree to any
such con dition as that. and hence the
chance that we shall get pay for our
ship, no matter how clear Spanish re-
sponsibility for her loss may be, is ex-
ceedingly small.

It seems to be settled that the President
will treat the Maine explosion as an en-.
tirely separate matter without any nec-
es airy connection with the general Cuban
question. The extremists in Congress
have been hoping otherwise, because they
thought they saw in different course d
stronger probability of immediate inter,
ference on our part in the Cuban war.

Senator Gallinger's speech in the Senate
on the Cuban question was intended to
stimulate the sentiment for interference
on the part of this country, and it may
have had some effect in that direction.
But as compared with Senator Proctor s
speech it's influence was trifiing. 1t is
doubtful if any speech throughout the
agitation of the Cuban question bas pro
duoed so much effect as that. Not that
there was anything particularly new in
1t, for all it's facts had been narrated
many times before, or because it was es-
pceially eloquent, but because he has been
looked upon as a conservative and one of
President McKinley's confdants; aud
also because ne contrived to give the i'm
preston that he was undertaking the sit
uation. We suspect that there was quite
as much art and artfulness in his speech
as in any that has been delivered, but If
so they were well concealed, and the ad-
dress wore the appearance of being per-
fectly frank and ingenious.
The New York Post claims that in the
event of war between Spain and the

traband of war, would be practically ex-
empt from seizure when carried in foreign
vessels. By the treaty of Paris following

ships should make free goods, that is that
