Alarmed hy an Exequatur.

A group of newspaper men were talk
ing in the lobby of the Arlington relates
the Washington Post, when a story was
told which gives an idea TO some extent
of the many wild rumors that are flying
through the country at this critical point
in the strained relations between the
United States and Spain. In this case
however. the home office of a New YorH
paper represented in this city came very
near having this country and Nicaragua
on the verge of an immediate conflict. The
story is that telegram like this was re-
ceived in the correspondents office here
from one of his editors:
Consul -, at ~, Nicaragua, report
ed to have received his eXequatur What S
in it?"
The correspondent was fearfully agitat-
ed, and visions OF a consul being ordered
from a foreign country and consequent
war being declared passed luridly before
his minds eye. Surely the consul must
have been given his passports and ordered
home for some reason, and there were
other visions before him-visions of a
scoop, or Of being scooped He knew not
which. Then this muchly excited news
paper man began 10 think. That wore
'exequatur' he had heard before, but
where? 1t surely had 10 do with the
diplomat Then he looked il up in the die
tionary. and was disguised with his home
office, for this was the definition he read:
"A written official recognition of a con-
sui or commercial agent, issued by the
government 10 which he is accredited, and
authorizing him to exercise his powers in
the country"
The messenger call buzzed. and the fol-
lowing special was rushed to New
York:
R received his exequatur and is all
right. Consult Webster's dictionary"

April is a month made notable by great
events in American history The first
great struggle for American liberty broke
into hostllities at Lexington and Concord
about the middle of April, 1775; the war be-
tween the Confederate states and the
United States began in April, 1861; in April
of 1862 Farragut captured New Orleans.
and in April. 1860. came the surrender of
the Army of Northern Virginia at Apo
mattox Court House. Again the month
Of April is upon us, and again the times are
pregnant with history-making events.

private property, not contraband, of the
citizens of one belligerent by the armed
vessels of the other belligerent. The origi-
nal signers of the declaration, however,
would not agree to the amendment, and
so the United States did not become a
party TO the declaration. They offered to
sign il when the war of secession bro ie
out, but the offer was not accepted be
cause they were not at that time in a posi-
ton TO bind The Southern States.
In the event of war with Spain, the
Spanish government might endeavor to in
jure us by attacking our commerce, par
ticularly our coastwise commerce, by
rpeans of privateers, but it is probable that
we would give the Spaniards so much to
do to protect their own possessions that
they would lack the means of doing our
commerce a great deal of damage.

II Spain should resort TO privateering 1t is
true that We could retaliate by issuing let
tiers of marque to private parties to prey
upon the commerce of Spain, but Spain
has the advantage in having comparatively
little commerce.
Privateering has been abandoned by near
ly all nations. The United States and
Spain, however, are not among those who
have done so. They did not fully agree 10

April IS, 1856. The nations which signed al
that time were Great Britain, France, Aus

The Tombstone senator's Humor.

Whether as a cabinet official, when Sec
rotary of War. during President Harri-
sons administration, or as a representa-
tive in the United States Senate, Senator
Proctor has never been known to become
excited or iurried. He has always been
cool and logical This caution has at
times eXaspera ted some of hot-heads in
the Senate, and on one occasion in a fit of
pique another senator dubbed him the
Tombstone Senator The name has
chung to him ever since 1t was probably
brought forth primarily on account of Sen
ator Proctor's large interests in the mar
ole quarries of Vermont, but the title so
well expressed his unwavering solemnity
that 1t was accepted at once, recalls the
New York Tribune
Despite this reputa ton the senator is
not entirely without humor, as one in
cident enacted in the Senate shows SEN
ator Vest of Missouri was making an i'm
passioned speech, in the course of which
he wished to quote piece of poetry. Sena-
tor Proctor dignifed and attentive, was
sitting beside the senator from Missouri.
When Senator Vest came to the piece OF
poetry he stopped picked up a clipping
from his desk and continued: Il wish
10 interpolate this little piece of poetry.
| will say for the benefit Of the Senate
that it has been set to music by an emil
nent composer" He picked up the slip
and was about to continue when Senator
ProctOrs grim face relaxed, and he saiu
in low voice that was audible to all on
the floor, but could not be heard in the
galleries:
Sing it."
ripple of laughter ran around the
floor of the Senate, and the thrust, COM
ing from such an unexpected quarter.
completely disconnected the senator from
Missouri, and the effect of his speech
was destroyed.

Americans, First.


Unthinkng persons sometimes refer to
the Jews as people without a country.
Should the United States become involved
in war with Spain, there is not a particle
of doubt that the American Jews would
prove that they have a country, and that
they are ready to fight for it. It was
abundantly demonstrated In the late civil
war what sort of fighters they are.-Sa-
vannah, Ca, News.
All of which is true. But we would sug-
gest to our brother OF the News to speak
of us in the future as Jewish Americans
We are Americans, qualified by our Juda-
ism. not Jews qualified by our Ameri-

Nobody wants Hawaii.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer Dem)

Recently a high official of the English
government denied the statement made by
the Senate committee of foreign relations
that England had designs upon Hawaii.
Now there comes a denial from the Japa-
nese that they have any designs upon the
island. OF course they have not. They
are going to be very busy for some time
to come watching Russia, If the United
States will leave the islands alone they
need have no fear of any other country
touching them.
