Meetings every sunday evening at ESQ

Sunday, April b. Topic, Habits.
Habit is a cable, we weave thread
of it each day and it becomes so
strong we cannot break it. Since
this saying is so true, let us be very
careful of the cables which we are
making from day to day, and try with
a mighty effort to make those which
will stand the test Of time and be a
benefit to ourselves and the people
around us. One of the many habits
which we all need to cultivate is that
of observation-disclosures saying a kind
word to our neighbor. A kind heart
is a fountain Of gladness, making
everything in its vicinity to freshen
into smiles. Oh, Endeavorers, ex-
anime yourselves! Find out your
habits Root out those that are re-
pulsive, cultivate the sterling ones.

Belligerent Rights.

Queen Victoria recognized the
Southern Confederacy as belligerents
and issued a proclamation of neu-
trality on May 10, 1861, about a
month after the fall Of Fort Sumpter,
England, in view of this fact, cannot
very we'll object after three years
war in Cuba to the recognition of
the belligerency Of the insurgents by
the United States. As laid down by
American writer's on international
law the fact that war actually exists
is the determining factor, and not
the question Of the existence Of a
perfect civil government One au-
thority says "The occasion for the
accordance Of belligerent rights arises
when a civil conflict exists within a
foreign state" And in 1888 our
Government went so far as to issue
a proclamation of recognition "for
the prevention Of unlawful interfer-
ence in the civil war in Canada, "
where neither civil nor military
organization had been set up.
1t has been the constant practice
of the European nations, and the
United States, to "look upon bellig-
erency as a fact rather than a princi-
pie" holding "that certain degree
Of force and consistency acquired by
a mass of population engaged in
war entitled that population to be
treated as belligerent."
