is OUR RIGHT OF SEARCH IN.
PAIRED?

A few DAYS back The Times went
briefly over the chief points that pertain
TO the rights of neutrals upon the high
seas when two nations are at war, in the
course OF which We informed our readers
that under the laws of nations, either
Beni%rent has the right to search the
vessels Of a neutral for countraband of
war. when the commander Of the belliger-
ent warship has reason 10 believe that
the neutral vessel has contraband of war
concealed. The proposition at this. the
end Of the nineteenth century, Is so much
at variance with popular notions upon
the subject that a member OF the House
Of Commons in England was moved TO
ask the Attorney-General whether 1t was
possible that such could be the case. The
day after the question was asked Sit
Richard Webster, Attorney-General ans
wered II. and he said, what The Times had
already stated, that the right Of either
bellgerent to search neutral vessel ur-
doubtedly existed. He added that 1t was
impossible to say whether either Spain OF
the United States would exercise the right
I'm case we had war. A member OF the
House then asked the Attorney-General
whether either Spain or the United States
had done anything 10 impair their com
non law OF international right to search
| or capture neutral vessels, and the After
ney-General replied that the United states
had. That there were a number OF treat
les and expressions Of opinion upon the
pars Of the United States which, he
! thought. must severely impair their
rights In regard to Spain, he said he
was not aware of anything of the sort
We are not apprised OF the acts upon
| the part Of the United States TO which
the Acknowledgement refers. But we
doubt very much whether the United
States viii care TO exercise its rights In
this behalf in whatever force they may
exist. If we fight Spain we shan rely
upon our own ability TO whip her and we
shall not NEEDLE much with her enorts
10 get gun powder and bullets from Eng
! land, Brance and Germany.

the nag and - there shall be war with
Spain. tho South will not be deaf TO the
call for troops. But those who passed
through tho terrible ordeal of lS61-65
cannot forget what war means. whatever
their sympathy with the struggling and
distressed Cubans. They will respond to
duty in their own way. but they will not
DO rallied by the intrepid shouters who
have no idea OF firing a gun or being
within a thousand miles OF yellow fever.
We do not wish 10 say harsh things,
nor to revive unpleasant recollections,
but we would be less than human IL the
present crisis did not awaken memories,
and we confess that we cannot quite un-
derstand this wondrous outburst at the
North Of sympathy with the 'rebels" In
Cuba. and the disposition to glorify and
give them their freedom, and to forget
the horrors which the people OF the
South had to suffer in the defence OF
their homes and constitutional rights.

these things. and. remembering them

NO "BUSINESSn IN 1T.

The Times yesterday contained an in
teresting letter from Paris, France, writ
ten by q Virginion TO a friend here, IN
which he discussed in an instructive way
the view that well-informed Europeans
take OF our imbrogliO with Spain. In the
course Of his talk with a French banker.
the Frenchman asked him, What do the
American people want?" He replied that
they WANTED peace upon the island so
that they might avail themselves OF their
splendid opportunities for doing busi-
ness"
This gentleman was, no doubt, entirely
sincere in giving this version of the mat
ter but we think he is mistaken in what
IS moving the American people. There is
not one American in one thousand who
is to-day thinking Of annexing Cuba or
Of doing a profitable business with her.
The heart and sympathy Of the American
PEOPLE have been touched by the astound-
ing accounts of Spanish barbarities ard
atrocities in Cuba that have been brought
TO their notice. They see before their
eyes thousands of helpless women and
little children herded together like beasts
Of the most degraded character, and put
TO death by a slow process Of starvation.
Their horror and indignation at this out
rage TO all humanity has been increased
to an almost blind rage by the hideous
treachery that blew up our warship and
murdered 266 of our sailors. The picture
that has been placed before the eyes OF
Americans of poor little children stag
gering up to strangers. with swollen feet
and legs and great lustrous eyes. and
holding out their hands I'm piteous sup
plication for even a crumb TO stay the
awful cravings OF hunger, has done more
to arouse the wrath OF the American peo-
pie and move them to that avalanche that
now threatens to crush all Spanish con-
nection with this side OF the ocean than
all other influences OF every sort COM
bined. 1t is dreadful TO contemplate our
country becoming involved in war over
what really does not concern her as ma
tional interests are usually rated, but If
she does get into it there will be no
sordld motive Of influence that can be
charged up against her. If she does light
| If will be at the bidding OF the noblest
impulses that ever sway the human mind
and heart. and, when decorating the
graves of those who lose their lives in the
struggle. the whole nation will unite in
cropping upon them tears that well up
from the bottom Of hearts that tender
| affectionate grief for heroic dead.

FOR LEEDyrs COMFORT.

Governor Leedy. of Kansas, remarked
the other day that he did not expect to
soc war with Spain, hut that this crisis
was sust what the corporations had been
looking for TO give an excuse for big
standing army to keep down labor trou-
bles To which somebody answers that
the rcdoubtable Governor OF Kansas has
failed to observe that most of the money
which the government Is spending is 60
ing TO strengthen the navy, rather than
TO build up standing army, and that the
corporations naturally could not make
much use of the navy in putting down
labor troubles in Kansas.
We trust that Governor Leedy will take
comfort Ia these reflections.

When we read in the Northern news
papers OF the terrible times in Cuba; Of
the struggle of the insurgents for nber-

among the reconoentradoes; OF the de-
struction OF property TO keep It from

When we read these things and hear the

temporaries. and hear them calling to
the boys in gray to cone on and join the
boys in blue in putting a stop TO this
unrighteous war in Cuba, and drive the
Spanish Tag from the Island, while we
are touched with The distress of the in

contemporaries brings us 10 reflection.

We recall the fact that thirty odd
years ago there were American citizens

government and who were battling for
their constitutional rights; We recall the
fact that their land was over-run by
armed forces. many Of whom were hired

As to the destruction OF the Maine, while
we may believe that she was blown up by

aHREATHING SPELL.

The war clouds hae not yet rolled away
and tho situation is still threatening
From all that can be ascertained, IL the
Presidents message had been sent to
Congress on Wednesday last, hostilities
would probably have followed. But by
what might almost DO regarded as
p'rovidential act the message was With
held. and every days additional delay
renders a solution of the problem that
much the more probable. We do not
olerlook the fact that If the President
DELAYS his message with a view TO tenn
.porizing with Spain, or if he shows any
indecision. the war spirit is now so ram
pant that Congress will override him
and take matters into its own hands
But glorious Iritz Lee, who has meas
ured up to every responsibility and met
every emergency. has asked for few
days delay for the purpose of preventing
n possible attack on American citizens
and so much confidence has the country
in the courage and good judgment OF the
Consul-General at Havana, that Congress
will wait as long as Lee thinks that delay
IS necessary.
That proyidential delay has prevented
a war thus far. and It may be that this
act Of General lee viii be the cap
stone OF his magnificent work, a delay
which will avert war altogether.
The people Of the two nations have had
a breathing spell which will continue for
three DAYS longer, and we still have hopes
that within that time the sober second
thought win prevail and that there shan
be peace. permanent peace honorable
peace. with due regard to the interests
of humanity and the integrity Of the ma
tion.
