IT WAS NOT TOO LATE.
A Story of European Diplomacy and
Our Civil War.

our ifVII war.
The Outlook gives an interesting
story Of the Spanish administration,
when, during our civil war, the Emperor
Napoleon formed the ingenious plan of
uniting European nations in a change
of the international law governing
blockades. The admiralty law of the
world at present extends the jurisdic-
ticn of any nation for one marine league
from its shores. If, Therefore, any block
ade runner could get wi three miles
of Jamaica, Cuba or . Rico, he
was safe from any interference from
our blockading feet.
Napoleon proposed that, instead of
one league, the limit Of local sovereignty
should be extended to three leagues
from shore, and he persuaded the Span
ish minister to come into his plan.
Such an extension of neutral limits
would have greatly hindered the opera
tions of our blockading fleets All the
negotiations were conducted with great
secrecy, but orders were sent from
Spain to the West Indies, instructing
authorities there to extend threefold the
range of their dominion over the sea.
These orders had already gone when
Horatio Perry, the American secretary
of legation, got wind of the treachery
of our ally.
Mr.. Perry told his wife. She told the
Duchess of Montpensier, who hated
Louis Napoleon, and the duchess told
her sister, the Spanish queen. Then the
queen sent for Mr.. Perry and asked
| what it was all about
"You are injuring your best
friends, said he after explaining the
matter "at the solicitation of this in
triguer whom you have reason to be-
/ lieve is your enemy.
The queen regent sent for her prime
minister and Intercepted him. He re-
piled that her majesty had signed the
order on such day.
.sBut no one told me what it meant,
said Queen Isabella. "No one told me
that this is heavy blow to my Ameri-
can allies.
No one had told herl The minister

Then said Isabella, at is not too
late for me to accept your designations >
But the senior don did not want to re-
sign, and the other senores dons did not
want to resign. So they found fast

the other orders, and the blockade was

The Cowardice Of Abuse.


There is nothing simpler or easier
or more cowardly than abuse OF pub
lie men. To give voice to slanderous
epithets Is not difficult. The belief held
by some persons that it is manly or
brave to make bold and brutal at
tacks upon State officers or other pub
lie charactersis unfounded. 1t requires
more courage and wisdom to COM
pliment disereetly, to judge Of OFF,
cial actions rightly than to do, as
many citizens and newspapers do,
condemn and criticise bitterly and
continuously.
There are newspapers, big and
little, which pursue the policy of
the mad-dog. They fume and fret and
have Mysteries when the names of
certain Legislators or other officers
are mentioned. Yet the mad-dog has
never been held up 40 an example Of
courage. There are critics who snap
and bark and scratch at the heels of
the people who do the worlds work.
Yet fee are not looked upon as par
ticularly brave.
The really courageous editor or citi-
zen, in discussing the work or worth
of a public servant, will tell the truth
as readily when the truth compli-
ments as when it condemns. He will
forsake the absurd notion that the
only bravery is that which throws
rocks at those persons whose posi-
tion makes 1t impossible for them to
retaliate nkind.
