Br WILLIAin H. BEBNAA9. WILMINGTON. N. C. Sunday Morning. March 8, 1896 WHEN WILL IT BE? Both branches of the Congress of the "United States have solemnly de clared that the Cubans who are struggling for self government are entitled to the rights of belligerents. In the form of the declaration made and the manner of it they left some' discretionary power with the execu tive branch of the Government as to when formal proclamation should be made announcing the action taken by this Government So far there has been no disposition shown by the Executive to take any step in the direction of giving these resolutions effect, so that all they amount to so far is simply a declaration of the opinions of the two Houses of Con gress, but a declaration made by such an overwhelming majority and with so littli 'difference as to form and substance as to be practically unanimous. . The President, who no doubt fully realizes the importance of wisely ex ercising the discretion in him vested and the importance also of going very slowly lest complications might arise which might prove very em barrassing to us, is moving so slowly that he is making no progress at all, leaving the situation instate guv, Just as it was before those concur rent resolutions were adopted. Hts justification is that he must be the judge of the facts, and' that riot withstanding; that Congress has de clared that facts enough exist to justify the recognition of belliger ency, nothing has ytt happened in Cuba to warrant the conclusion that a state of x warfare exists such as to justify s.uch recognition by another Government. He bases his action, or rather inaction, on the refusal of President Grant to recognize Cuban belligerency in 1868 or afterwards, although the struggle for independ ence lasted through , the eight years of his two administrations and two years longer. The reasons given byPresident Grant why belligerency could not be recognized: then are given in support of inaction now, and President Cleve land is doubtless as honest in his mo i tives now as General Grant was then. .but General Grant was then, as Mr. Cleveland is now, governed more by the possibility of creating unpleasant complications with other Govern ments than by the desire to recog nize a people who were making a gallant and heroic struggle to throw off a loathsome yoke and took up the sword and the machete in the face of obstacles that would have appalled a less brave and resolute people. This is not a mere "revolt," or in surrection of a "few brigands," as General Weyler calls them. An in surrection' which began twelve months ago at one extreme end of the island, with less than three hun dred armed adherents, and within that time has spread over the whole island even to the gates of Havana; which now has and keeps in the field 40,000 armed men, who bid defiance to the more than 100,000 that Spain has sent against them, is entitled to be considered something more than an insurrection. If the conditions prescribed by Gen. Grant, and accepted as a guide by .President Cleveland, are to be strictly adhered to then there will never be recognition of Cuban bel ligerency by this Government; nor recognition of belligerency iQ any small country contending against a great or a larger one. These condi tions require that the insurgents shall organize a government .with power to enforce its decrees : and command obedience, that it shall have a seat of government and be In possession of at least one coast town of some importance, &c.y con ditions that might be complied with in a revolting section covering a large area where the armies oi the sovereign country would have long . distances to march after landing and when the revolting section might be so situated as to have ships of its own to carry mentions of war and protect Its city on the coast '. But Cuba is a small' territory,' its people, are without . ships, its inani tions of -war must ran the' blockade of a cordon of Spanish cruisers, that patrol its coasts, it can borrow - no money as the sovereign country can, because it has nothing to pledge in Davment ". of borrowed sums, and therefore it is next to impossible for It to comply with the conditions precedent to such recognition as it asks, although it has established the fact that poorly equipped as it is and without international recogni tion it has driven, the Spanish armies into one corner of the island, and would drive them off of it if equip ped with artillery to attack a strongly fortified city. The Cubans have the nerve, the determination, and the patriotism to be free; all they lack is the recognition by other powers that they are patriots and not mere brigands, and that they are entitled, if made prisoners of war, to be treated as soldiers and not be shot down as outlaws and bandits. , There can and should be no cast iron construction of international usage in a case like this. Every nation should judge for itself as to the facts and the conditions, and a nation like this, which in its infancy rose up against a powerful oppressor and waged war for eight years for much less provocation; than these struggling Cubans have had, should recognize the inspirations ' of free dom and respond to them as it was glad to have France to respond to it in the day of its need. . As we see it, if theday for the recognition of Cuban belligerency has not arrived and the conditions do, not justify it, the time never will come and the conditions never will justify it. MIS OR MEBTIOff. In reference to the - contest for United States Senator in Kentucky, the Louisville Courier-Journal dis courses as follows : " If we are to have free silver it mast come through Congress. What matters it how many sound-money delegates to political conventions we may elect or how many sonnd-money platforms we may baild, if we send men to Congress who will vote for free silver? What sort of a sound-money man, there fore, is he who proclaims his advo cacy of sound money and yet day after day casts his vote in the Legis lature for a free-silver United States Senator ?" Tht Courier- Journal is a Democratic paper, but is opposed to the election of Democrats to Con gress who favor the free coinage of silver, regardless of the fact whether these Democrats are before the peo ple in the regular way or not and with the endorsement of t'heU,, party conventions or not. Senator Black burn, in accordance with the usage of the Democratic party in Kentucky and other States received the caucus nomination and is supported by every Democrat in the Legislature save the five obdurate gold standard men who refused to go into the caucus because they couldn't control it, who haven't been able to elect any body and have been throwing away their votes ever since the Legislature met, They can't beat Biackburn without voting for a Republican, which they are not quite prepared to do, but they can prevent his election, which they are deter mined to do. In its position here the Courier-Journal is in accord frith the position taken by Secretary Car lisle in his letter in reply to the letter sent him by friends of Mr. Blackburn. This is a two-edged weapon which cuts both ways, and if the friends of free coinage were to take the same position and regard less of the action of conventions or caucuses should refuse to vote for any candidate who would not abso-. Iutely pledge himself to the freecoinC age of silver it might get matters pretty badly mixed in the Demo cratic party. If silver Democrats did take that position what a howl it would raise on the other side. 1 A Washington dispatch published yesterday represents the President as denying the authenticity of the, dispatch published the day before giving the alleged position of the administration as regards recogniz ing belligerency in Cuba. He neither a'ffirms nor denies the cor rectness of the report, going only so far as to deny that it spoke for him, or had any authority to speak for him. And yet the probabilities are that this report was substantially cor rect not only as to the administra tion, but the President included. It is in keeping with the well known at titude of the administration all along, and in harmony ; with the recorded utterances of the President " when ever he has officially spoken upon the struggle in Cuba. It is signiff: cant, too, that the principal opposi tion to the adoption of the resolu tions In both Senate and House came from Senators and Representa tives who are known to be in close touch with the administration, and who in their opposition were sap Posed to voice the sentiments of the administration. In the meantime me Cubans have t.h amounts tO Snm-triinir -kiofc T TfL r lmiD? "Passion o sen. timent by Congress gives them.

Charles B. Rouss, who is now nearly blind and will soon be totally so, is said to have accumulated a for tune of about $10,000,000 sines he went from Virginia to New York in in 1866.

Hennas some peculiar notions, one of which is that he has lived before and will live again. He was a bedbug, he thinks,, in his pre vious existence, but didn' evolve into a goldbug. y- . .

Address Review of Reviews Co., No. 18 Astor Place, New York. CURRENT COMMENT. There is absolutely nothing in the resolutions of the House or Senate which -Spain can justly com plain of as a hostile act. Our recog nition of Cuban belligerency is no more an act of war than was Spain's recognition of Confederate belliger ency, and certainly Spain cannot complain that Congress declares it to be our duty to maintain a strict neutrality. Nav York World, Dem. To take that splendid coun- t-y (Cuba), redeem it from the vices despotism and cruelty have bred, lift it out of the slough of ignorance and superstition, make it at once a gar den in respect of material culture and a garden of the graces and vir tues of a high civilization, were a magnificent mission for this great Republic; and whether we will or no the situation will be such within a year from to day that we mqst annex Cuba in self-defence. Chattanooga Times, Dem. If this country should bef!fm involved in active hostilities with England over Venezuela -and with Spain for Cuba, what would become of the A. P. A.? Obviously, such an organization could not exist in a pe riod of war, when citizens, without distinction of creed, would be re quired to perform military service, and when all who should perform such service would be entitled, to equal civic and political rewards. In view of possible contingencies,would it not be well for the A. P. A. to dis band now, when there is peace ? An organization can have no reason for existence in a time of peace when it would necessarily dissolve in the midst of war. PhU. Record, Dem. The question as to whether the Cuban insurgents are entitled to recognition as belligerents is not a question of opinion but of fact, and tor this reason it will be well for Congress to allow President Cleve land all necessary latitude and free dom, of action.- Precedent and the best judgment of students of inter national law is that the executive and diplomatic branch of the Gov ernment is the proper channel through which the nation is to con uuu. an aaair 01 mis Kina. A ma-- jonty of Americans are undoubtedly in sympatny with the Congressional attitude on this matter, but it would be absurd to claim that an interna tlonal complication can be guided wun satety Dy popular sympathy aione.

CiiTASE AFTER A RELIC HOW WASHINGTON'S COACH WAS SE CURED FOR MOUNT VERNON.' jFbr Two Years In a Philadelphia Antl - qnarlan's Wladow Carried Around the j Coantrr In a Side Show Smuggled Out . if: ef the City In a Box Car.-j J?-.'. . ;-r "Have T"toId" y6a the story of how we xeoovered Washington's coach?" asked the superintendent as he loaned: back in his ohair. . :,-- i'.:r-'v :r--; .j ' "Hb, " replied the wbmao;rom the west. She was cirrlod up in one corner of the great mahogany sofa, trying to weave a story about the great brick with the words "Bogne, thief and liar" burned into it which bad been rog up near the west lodge gate of Mount Vernon. - , "No," she said. "Tell it to me.'1 X ' i .Mr. Dodge smiled the' smile of a man who is asked to mount his hobby. 'He put his finger tips together and began. ; "Of course," he saidV"we've been try ing to get a coach that belonged to Wash ington for a long timo. The ladies of the Monnt -Vernon Ladies, association have followed every clew they could find. They. could not let . tt be known, of coarse, that they wore looking for a coach, "for at once 'any dealer who had such a thing would advance its. price beyond reason. ; - "The ladies had despaired of ever finding : It, when one day as I was showing a party of visitors through the . .- mansion and grounds one of them said: . -".'.You ought to have Washington's coach in the carriage house.'.. ' " 'Yes, we'd like to have it,' I said. , " 'Why, I know where it is,' he said. "I almost had heart failure at the news. I led him aside and questioned him. He told me that he had often seen an old car . riage in the window of an old antiquarian's shop on Chestnut street, I think, that was placarded 'Washington's coach!' He was sure he had seen it very recently.. -I I wrote at once to Mr. K. U. Brown field in Philadelphia a man who is an en thusiastic antiquarian and asked him to see the owner of the coach and find out what it could be secured for. He went to the shop, but although my informant was sure he had seen it very recently Mr. Brownfield discovered that the ooath bad been sold two years before to Forepaugh, the circus man, for $50." "I wrote to Forepaugh. There was no answer. I discovered that Forepaugh had' died. I wrote to the executor ef his estate, and after a long delay I was informed that the coach, with various other relics, had been sold to the Barnum & Bailey circus and was now appearing in side shows some where in the west. I wrote to this place and to that, but the circus was on the move constantly, and I received no answer to my appeals. Enough of the history of the coach had been learned from the Phil adelphia dealer who had owned it to estab lish its authenticity beyond the shadow of a doubt. On the 2d day of July I received a letter from Mr. Brownfield. 'I have se cured the coaoh,' it said. 'Come and get it at onoe, for I will not be responsible for "I took and went the next train for Philadelphia at once, to Mr. Brownfield's house. He seemed greatly relieved to see mo ' : It "And when did he get the coach t" asked the woman from the west. "That he did not tell me, nor did he tell me how much he paid for it. He simply made a present of it to tho ladies, and he wanted it taken off his hands as soon as possible.!! "It was, as I said, the 2d of July when I received Mr. Brownfield's letter. It was now tho 3d. It had been rumored in Phil adelphia that the coach was In town, and it was proposed to have it form part of the parade on tho Fourth of July. Mr. Brown field had 'not been seriously opposed to tho Hiea, wnen mrormation reached him from a reliable1 source that there was to be an organized attempt to steal tho coach. The route ot the parade was known, and at a certain corner tho coach was to be dragged from the line and hurried down a side street, j At any rate, certain persona had determined' that Washington's -family coach should never leave Philadelphia. "Mr. Brownfield went with, mo to see tho coach. It was,onci of, the hottest days I ever ktacw, and we were obliged to walk a long distance. The coach was in the at tic of a building which had once been used as tho winter quarters of a circus. It was in one jdf the toughest parts of the town, and nobody knew of tho coach's presence. We. toiled up tho stairs, and Mr. Brown field threw open the doors with a flourish. There f stood the object of mv Kp.rh Washington's family coach. " "I went out and went to the freight yard of. the nearest railroad. I ordered a box car. The agent in charge did not think I could get one on a siding and at tached to a freight train until the morning of tho 6th, as it was now getting Into tho afternoon of the 3d. I insisted, hut T could not tell what I wanted it for. Final ly he promLsod to have the car ready, and I went back to the coach. I borrowed a car riage cover from a livery stable and covered tho old vehicle. Then I went into another quarter of the town and engaged four stout negro men.- ;. "Then we took the coach down, and fol lowed by a hootingcrowd of small bovs, each begging a ride, we dragged the coach through tho streets, got It aboard the box car, and I nailed the door shut. Mr. Brownfield was with mo. We shook each other's hands with feeling. Then we went away together and took a drink," . "And "the coach?" asked . the woman from the west. s- y " Come and see it. " said the superintend ent, j- X . He passed out through the office door across the early green of the smooth shaven lawn and down the hilt to the coachhouse. A group of reverent tourists hung about the door, but over their shoulders the western woman cansht a arlimD.se of a shabby, dingy, ugly, brown old coach, that even m 11s rxsst days could never have been at all elegant. It was Washington's fam ily coach. The woman from the west turned away. Then her eye met the eye of the superintendent, and they laughed the laugh of people who appreciate their own follies.

"That's all past. A man does not buy a wife in these days. " "I should think not!" "Certainly not. It's all changed, all thanged. JCow he has to be paid to take her, and her poor old father has to wrecks his bank account to provide th drrarv Yes, I admit that the new woman, Maria" Then the door was slammed as she in dignantly left the room.
