MERRIMAC AN ILLEGAL c
 SEDUCTION.

The other day in debate in the Cor tes at Madrid a deputy, who is described as of high dignity and repute, solemnly asked the Duke of Almodovar de Rio, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, whether 1t was regarded in international law as proper to use such expedients in block ading a port as to sink ships in the chan nel or to plant mines. The worthy noble man as solemnly replied that the authori- ties were agreed that such actions were indubitably improper. This is a serious discovery, but 1t is difficult to see how

AN AMERICAN SISTERHOOD.
NI UGH has been said of the practical good ac- complished by the women of the Red Cross Much remains to say

{ ANNo NAOSo' Much remains to say
 The women have done one thing of which they did not dream in the beginning. They have spread to every State and Territory knowledge of the hos pitalty which California, with themselves as its hon. ored agents dspenses willingly and gladly to the sol dier faring within her gates. He may be Of the North, South, East or West, but here he is an American, and they minister to him.
 practical result has been the creation of humane sisterhood as wide as the land People at distance have caught the inspiration and seek to aid. Women in far-away States send to express their gratitude for what has been done for their loved ones so- journing here where they thought to find strangers and found friends Minnesota and Pennsylvania send fervent thanks Colorado and Tennessee say to these women, God bless you"
 The war is welding this great people into unity it never knew The impulse stirring the nation meets everywhere response. But when peace shall come to abide the student of events will remember the benign mission of these unselhsh women, and say of them that in the stronger raternal relations established quietly, sweety and unknowng, they wrought we'll and the strongest fbers in the tie to bind all sections into one are of their handiwork.

THE PARIS EXPOSITION.

hESPITE the and its glorious victories, the
 ] attention of the people and of Congress has not 1/ been turned wholly away from the enterprises of peace. The splendid proportions reached by our export trade during the year have aroused the n- dustrial and commercial instincts of the people almost strongly the fighting spirit has been aroused by battle, and as consequence everything that can in any way affect and promote growing trade is receiving consideration from all classes.
 One of the movements which has been quickened into stronger vitality by the commercial success of the. year is the proposed display of the products of the United States at Paris in 1900. The Con- gressonal conference committee reported in favor of an appropriation of $ooooo for the enterprise and the only objection thus far made the report is that the sum is not sufficient It is pointed out that France devoted $75oooo for her display at Chicago and the argument is made that as we richer and larger than France and have more to display we ought to exceed her appropriation rather than fall below it.
 Thomas w. Cridler, Assistant Secretary of State, who, since the death of Moses P. Handy, has been acting as special commissioner and attending to interests at the exposition recently reported that the space allotted by the exposition authorities to the United States includes: In the Hall of General Man ufactures and Household Furnishing, 24,3oo square feet: in the Mines and Metallurgy 76oo square feet in Threads Textiles and Wearing Apparel, I3,oo3 square feet; in Agricultural and Fruit Products, I8 s8 square feet in Education and Liberal Arts, II47I square feet, and in Chemical Industry 5Ioo square feet.
 This is not an extensive space when the vast sources of the United States are considered. Cali fornia alone could fill the allotted for mines and metallurgy and for fruit products. If we to ob tain more however, must get in and work for it Tie whole world is pressing for space and nothing he orrarted uS for sentiment alone

Royal Baking Powder costs a little more at first, though it goes further in the end, as it is stronger. But Royal is. beyond all question as to whole someness, while as to other powders there is a doubt.
 Royal is a cream of tartar. powder. So many of the other powders are made from alum. Cream of tartar comes from grapes, and costs to produce much more than alum, which is  a mineral that the British Government regards as a poison and forbids to be used in bread.
 The Royal powder costs only a fair price. per pound, and is cheaper and better at it's price than any similar. article in the world. It makes bet- ter and more health- full food.

A GOOD CITIZENS LEAGUE.

l D CIRCULAR has been issued announcing that / ! the second annual convention of the National Good Citizens League will assemble at Nash vile July IT. The manifesto of the league declares the time has in the history of our country when all good citizens should unite to rescue the municipal
 y the State and the nation from present evils and l- pending disaster and ruin." It further asserts that while there are some good men in office, every department of our life-whether economic industrial, social or regious-has felt the bighting influences, the evil effects of unwise and unrighteous civil gov ernment; incompetency and demagogism on the one hand inhdety and corruption on the other.
 The language of the manifesto Is exaggerated Evils exist but there is certainly such thing ruin i'm pending over this country. Nor was it wise on the part of those who issued the call to mix up religion with politics. It does not appear that religion IS to be affected by msgovernment in either the municipal lty the State the nation; nor IS there anything Tn the present condition of people to justify the as sociation of infdelty and corruption in politics. There are a good many inhdels who are not cor rupt politicians, and there are good many corrupt politicians who are not infdels
 The style of the cal however, is minor matter. The essential point is that league has been organized for the purpose of inducing good citizens to take more active interest in politics. The object of the league is commendable Anything which tends to in- press upon all classes of citizens the importance of at tending to their political duties is Of value to the munity It is unquestionably true that much of the extravaganza and corruption in our administration of public affairs is directly traceable to the neglect of citizens to take proper interest in public affairs
 The Good Citizens League announces itself as mon partisan non-sectarian body" and all organ izations interested in political and administrative form are requested to send delegates to the tion The method by which the league proposes to perform its work is that of arousng the patriotic science of the people, that the individual will feel it part of his duty assist in the eradication of isting evils in every way possible. To effect that 1t is designed to organize local leagues one for each political party, at all voting precincts.
 While the scheme will not appear feasible to many citizens it nevertheless will have the sympathies of all who have noted the indifference of the great of business men to their civic responsibilities If the league by its organization by its influence in duce all citizens be earnest in the performance of their political duties we shall have better mated for office, better elected and better ad mnistraon of the affairs of the city, the State and the nation It is to be hoped, therefore, that the Nashville convention will be well attended and that it may exert widespread influence in the country.

1EE NAB SIruAIION.

The past week has witnessed the sur
render of santiago de Cuba and the east
ern end of the island OF Cuba 10 the
American army. This was accomplished
after vast deal of haggling on the part
Of the Spaniards, and on the somewhat
unique terms that the surrendered troops
are 20 be returned 70 Spsin on parole BY
the United States, the officers being per-
United to retain their side arms. The
United States surrender commissioners
will also recommend that the Spanish
troops have returned 20 them the arms
which they have so bravely defended,
but that matter Is left entirely with our
government, and Il is doubtful IL il will
be carried out.
Yellow fever has appeared in our army
in Cuba, in a mild form, and though all
possible precautions will be taken, and al
epidemic Of il is not feared. vet our
troops will De removed from the region
as soon as possible, and santiago will
be gsrrisoned by several regiments Of
"immunes."
L, would seem that the time has ar
rived when Spain should see that further
continuance of the conflict Is worse than
useless, and should seek 10 make peace
on the best terms possible; and IN fact
there is much talk of peace, but less OF
il comes from spanish sources than
from any other.
Meanwhile preparations for the vigor-
Gus prosecution of the war go on, and IL
is probable that within few days a
fleet under Commodore Watson will start
for the coast of Spain and that new
expedition will be fitted out against
Porto Rico. IL is not likely that any
further operations will be undertaken in
Cuba until after the close Of the rainy
season.
