BREACH OF PROMISE.
Question as 10 Whether Suit Can Be
Brought by Attachment.
Point Raised in The Case Brought BY Miss
Miller Argued Today.

There was considerable argument be-
fore Judge Wilbur This morning as 20
whether or not a suit for DFeach OK
promise of marriage could be begun by
writ of attachment For the sorrow
and blight resulting from a preach oi
promise of marriage as she ella ms, Jo-

The latter gentlemen during me past
week filed a motion 20 dissolve the at
tachment.
There was hearing on this motion
today and Mr.. Parker expressed gfeV
surprise that SO good a lawyer az
Judge Johnson should begin a SUIT TOT
breach y promise OF marriage DY an
attachment and proceeded TO argue
that there needed 70 be sum deter
mined I'm order that under our stat
utes there could be writ OF altacn-
ment sustained. MIR. Parker thought
the damages could not be fixed so
definitely that the plaintin could teil
how much she was entitled TO IN tue
present action.
Judge Johnson said good many al
torneys besides MIR. Parker had been
surprised when they fopnd out that our
supreme court held an action of breach
Of promise, an action on contract ana
not a tort. He cites the case or Denny
VS.. Merrill as conclusively sustaining
the previous decision of the court that
the action was one OF contract.
Mr.. Carpenter argued that Judge
Johnsons argument did not touch the
main point that the damages would nos
be sufficiently accurately stated TO JUS
tify the issuance OF writ of attach
ment Judge Wilbur held the matter
for advisement and gave the attorneys
until Tuesday TO present authorities.

people called Doukobors from
Russia, arrived at Halifax, N. s.,

psalm of praise for their safe voy-
age. 1t will be remembered that
the BULLETIN, a short time ago,
published a full account of this
remarkable sect. Like the Men
nonites, their religion forbids
them to engage in war. These
$500 arrived at Halifax will be
given homes in the Canadian

have long preceded them there
have proved to be desirable sett-
lers.

Duty to Other Nations.

ago, are German, Russian, Scandinav-
Ian, French. Spanish and English
merchants. Dc we owe anything TO
them? They are not parties to the
treaty! Let us examine their status.
In 1891, a mob gathered in the city
of New Orleans n look certain Ital-
ians from the Jail and shot or hanged
them. Among these We're a number
who were not naturalized, and there
for still citizens of Italy. The presi-
dent of the United States ~apologizel,
but the apology was not accepted, and
the government of the United States
promptly responded in damages.
In 1854, some citizens of the United
States residing at Graytown, a port
on the Mosquito coast, We're subjected
to gross indignities and injured by the
local authorities who were British, but
who professed to act under the au-
thority of the king or chief of the
Mosquito islands,. These United States
citizens appealed to the commander of
the United States sloop of war, Cyane,
lying near the port, and he promptly
bombarded the town. The English gov
eminent complained, but this govern
ment sustained the act on the ground
of it's being necessary for the protec-
ton Of u citizens.
David Pacifico, a Jew who never
saw England out whose father was
born in England and who remained an
English subject, had his house, his
goods, and the persons of himself and
family, injured by a mob in Athens in
1849. He asked redress from the gov
eminent of Greece and his demand was
ignored. The British consul made de-
mand. This was also ignored. Then
h English government submitted an
ultimatum, which was rejected. Then
Admiral Parker, commanding the Eng
fish fleet in the Mediterranean, was di-
rected to seize all Greek ships of war
and merchant vessels, and to retain
them, which he proceeded promptly to
do. Greece then responded by the pay
ment of five hundred pounds for per-
eonal injuries, over four thousand
pounds for the loss of household effects
and jewelry, and five thousand pounds
as indemnity against some valuable
papers of Mr.. Pacifco, which he claim.

So soon as the treaty with Spain was
ratified and delivered, the government
Of the United States assumed the re.
sponsibility of protecting the citizens
and subjects of every government Of
earth who CHANGED to be doing bust
ness in the Philippine archipelago.

Rebellion Ayerted
For a time, it seemed that rebellion
would surely ensue, but 1T vas hap
PLY averted. Aaron Burr sought to
take advantage of this dissatisfaction
on the part of the French and Spanish
subjects, and to arouse them in open
rebellion. but his arrest and trial and
the seizure of his ships frustrated and
terminated the enterprise. Subsequent
ly, Andrew Jackson, another man
whose o of liberty is frequently re-
ferred to, took a hand in the affairs Of
Louisiana. After the treaty which ter
minated what is known as the war Of
1872 had been signed and promulgated,
this old democratic, liberty-loving pa
triot actually banished from New Or
leans every French subject who had
joined his forces to fight against Eng
land, end decreed over his own sigma
ture hat they should all move away
as far as Baton Rouge. This act, how
ever. did not pass without rebuke, for
the old general was subsequently fined
one thousand dollars for his express
sion Of his regard for patriotic SER
vice by French subjects, which fine he
paid. The government of the United
States, however. refunded it thirty
years afterwards.
I am simply referring to historic
facts, and I do 1t not for the sake of
criticising those of former generations
but to show that the doctrine of con-
sent Of the governed, while it sounds
well in the declaration of independence
and in party platforms, is not always
scrupulously adhered to even by those
who are responsible for it's insertion in
those formal documents.

What Was Promised Filipinos

T.aE only language contained in the
i democratic platform which can be
construed into the tender of an issue
is contained in these words: 1--WE not
only protest against the war and de-
mand it's termination by the extension
to the Filipinos of the same u
given the Cubans, etc." By implica-
ton, if not by exact language, the
democrats Of Iowa demand the extern
sion of The same to the
Filipinos as have been given the Gu
bans. The assurances given the Gu
bans are contained in an act Of on
gress. Certainly, there were demo-
Gratis enough in congress to propose
such legislation with reference to the
Filipinos. They had a majority in the
upper house and a very formidable
minority in the lower house. Yet no
one introduced such a bill. Their de-
nunciations Of the administration as
contained in both speeches and plat
form would imply that they thought
the president ought to have extended
