THE HONOR OF THE NATION.

Whether or not the ultimatum Of
congress to Cuba can be reconciled with
the famous Teller resolution, by which
the United States declared it's intentions
to the world on the outbreak of the war
with Spain, is not the question that just
now we propose to discuss; but we wish
to call attention to the morality of the
position taken by those who, after ad
mitting that reconciliation between the
pledge and proposed policy is difficult,
maintain that we are justified in break
ing that pledge. We could fill many
columns with the declarations of lead
ing men and journals to the effect that
since it turns out that, in their opinion,
that pledge is disadvantageous to the
country, we are justified in disregard
ing it.
No Christian man ought to hesitate

ventured upon the Kansas prairies in
1889, when he was 40 years Of age and
perhaps past the learning of new tricks;
or he may have been of the race of
those who will not eat rabbit because it
reminds them of cat. Two hunters of
the expedition-of which Washington
was not in command-one day captured
skunk; which mortified" the great
author very much. 81 insisted upon
their abandoning their prize and re-
suming their march. One complied, with
discontented air; the other consoled
himself by vociferous eulogies on the
richness and delicacy of a roasted pole
cat, which he swore was considered the
daintiest of dishes by all experienced
Indian gourmands. 1t was with
difficulty could silence his loquacity
byrepeated and peremptory commands"
The discontented one, who said nothing,
acted the more: presently 81 had the
vexation to see the carcass of his prize,
stripped of it's skin and looking like a
fat sucking-pig, dangling behind his
saddle. I made solemn VOW, however,
in secret, that our fire should not be
disgraced by the cooking of that pole
cat" In camp, therefore, he pried
about until he found it, when he says !:
81 could not resist the temptation to
plump it into the river, where it sank to
the bottom like a lump of lead: and thus
our lodge was relieved from the bad
odour which this savory Wand had
threatened to bring upon it,
For this Mr.. Irving was derided by
Dan Josiah Gregg, the author of "Com-
merce of the Prairies," who says the
flesh of the animal in question is fine
and of exquisite relish.
A more recent writer, of the age of
canned corned-beef, overpasses this side
of the skunk question, but says they are
nice little beasts, incapable of giving
offense to the most fastidious, save in
moments of agitation: and that by proper
early education, mostly of surgical
nature, the last possible objection to
them can be removed. The skunk may,
therefore, have a future before it,
capable of making us forget all that lies
behind A. T. r.

demoralizing as any that could be con-
ceived. The word of an individual or
of a nation should be the most sacred
thing on earth to it. The honest man is
described in the Scriptures as 'she that
sweareth to his own hurt and changeth
not" And the more the keeping of his
pledge is hurtful to him, the more pune
tiliously he keeps it. He stands by his
promises he simply keeps it without
whining; he does as he said he would do.
And the moral law for nation is not
different than for an individual. The
man who breaks his word is disgraced,
and the nation that is false to it's pledges
is disgraced.
Granted that this Cuban pledge was
unwise; that it is disadvantageous; that
it was made in moment of generous
impulse from which we have receded.
1t was made. There it is in black and
white. Let us keep it in sense that
needs no explanation. Let us keep it in
a sense that the average man, unskilled
in technical subterfuges, may say Of it:
eve did exactly what we said we would
do. We saw that it was unwise, but we
had passed our word, and we did exact
ly what we said we would do"
Action like that on the part of the
United States States would be the most
direct contribution we can think of that
the American people could make to the
cause of national and international
morality. The adoption of such course
would be tonic to the personal life of
every citizen, and it would reflect a
lustre on the American name that would
make any victory in arms look mean and
cheap in comparison with it.-Boston
Watchman (Baptist).
If an act Of the American congress
means anything, and the English
language conveys ideas, the war against
Spain was waged on the ground that
Cuba ought to be free and Independent,
and that her independence was the end
and purpose of the war. Our benevo-
lence in thus taking up arms for an op-
pressed little people was so unusual that
it awakened doubt in the Old World.
There were many sneers and many
prophecies of developments later on
which would reveal a hypocritical pre-
tence. But we went forward with con-
siderable confidence in our good inten-
tions. We felt something almost like
pity for an Old World which was so
stepped in selfishness that it could not
understand how nice and philanthropic
people we were.
That the present situation is causing
deep concern in the minds of many good
people for the honor of their country
need hardly be said. Three years ago
we said that Cuba ought to be free and
independent, now we establish suzer-
ainty over it. To argue that the Cubans
are not fit to govern themselves will not
do, because we made their fitness for in
dependence our justification for the
war against Spain; and our govern
ment proclaimed it's recognition of this
fitness when it called the constitutional
convention. We have really closed the
case against ourselves. If the Cubans
refuse to submit to this protectorate. and
we make war upon them to compel SUBJ
mission, will we not be doing just what
Spain was doing, that is, killing Cubans
because they want to be independent?
1t is crisis which involves the honor
of the nation, a question of repudiating
our profession and promises, or making

CONCERNING SKUNKS.

pretty little black and white animal,
which children on farms are early taught
to avoid, because he is not kitten, and
does not like to play with little girls and
boys. He is quite common in all parts
of America: there is an amiable young
dog-not a very large dog-who lives
near the Junction across the river, and
likes to meet trains and have fun with
waiting passengers-whOh has mOrtuary
record among the neighboring skunks
almost equal to that of Saul and David
of old among the Philistines: though it
does not appear by his countenance.
This little animal is Simon-pure
American, according to his specific title,
for when he is called by his right name
he is Mephitis Americanus. There is no
doubt a reason for this, but it is hidden
deep in the plan of things: one does
not see why all the nations of the earth
should not be equally blest in him,
though it is perhaps no more than just
that the seed of Abraham should be ex-
empt.
Now it seems that the Westerners of
the early day ate skunks, and not as
matter of necessity, but as a privilege
and from choice. 1t is well known that
meat was meat to the mountaineer when
times were hard; some of the expedients
for the maintenance of life that are told
of by the fathers, and others that are
limited at, are too horrible to think of;
but when they could get skunk they
were glad, and forsook even the savory
buffalo. A generation that can never
by any possibility learn the flavor of
hump and marrow bones by experience,
listens with respect to the hymn in
praise of buffalo-meat chanted by the
full congregation of it's predecessors,
and is willing to believe that no finer
food was ever placed in the hands of his
children by benevolent creator. But
from those of the pioneers who go
further into particulars we learn that
there were heights of plains gastronomy
far above buffalo. Not cannibalism, no;
man-meat, we are told, was tough and
rather favorless: but both the dog and
the skunk were placed well beyond
buffalo, while the pinnacle of all eating
was the flesh of the panther or noun
tain-lion.
To adhere to our text, we may quote the
verdict of two scientists: DR.. Edwin
James, going out with Major Long in
1920, says:
"The flesh Of the skunk we had some
times dressed for dinner, and found it a
remarkably rich and delicate food"
And Say, the zoologist, in coming
down the Arkansas with Captain Bell
that same year, tells in one place how
their hunter "to our great satisfaction
returned with skunk, that he had for
tunately killed. This we determined to

The affair may yet be made the sub

says:

white democrats of the south who had
received appointments at the hands of
President Roosevelt to resign their

hands, certainly there is no honor at
