Oh, if we could only have you compare these with the all-cotton and “shoddy’’ Ameri- can stuffs offered by the cheap “sweat-shop” tailors. Never mind; the truth will out! The reaction has already set in. Men are coming im every day and showing us suits they bought cheap—said to have been made-to-their-order. Regular farce-tailoring. The goods had shriveled up like seersucker. The lining was below the goods and the suits fit like a bag on a broom! Aren’t you tired wasting you money! Ready-made is but little better than cheap tailoring. Isn’t it better to pay our prices; goodness knows they’re low enough, and get first class home-cut and home-made custom tailoring. We are out for the trade im dead earnest this season. More goods, better goods, better tailoring and yet lower prices. j avereephedsdeeanseesdvasenyeeneneentre s Here are four good ‘‘opening’’ specials: < Black English Diag- Fine All=wool Chev= Fine English Pure ” Fancy English Suit- onal Worsted Cuia- iot Suitings, in black Wool Trouserings, half ‘ings, all wool, “‘nobby’’ way Coat and Vest. and navy blue, fast hundred‘‘dressy’’ pat- | or “quiet” patterns to Will not wear shiny. color, shrunk before terns.

Diplomats and students of international law are discussing the Allianca case with great animation. The attempted detention of the mail steamer by a Spanish warship is defended by some and condemned by others. Each side of the argument is pro- lifie with precedents and decisions, and the only point upon which there is anything approaching an agreement js that the Spanish government is clearly entitled to know the facts in the case from its own officers before repudiating their action and going to the extent of an apology to another government, similarly lacking official in- formation in regard to the occurrence at issue. The Right of Search. On the generai question of the right of search, which is the main issue involved in the existing controversy with Spain, the most recent contentions on the part of the United States in cases nearly analagous to that of the Allianca are those furnished in the case of the Virginius, in 1873, and in the cases of the Mizpah, Rising Sun and other vessels, in 1877. During the consider- ation of the Virginius affair Attorney Gen- eral Williams rendered an opinion to Sec- retary of State Fish, in which he said: “Spain, no doubt, has a right to capture a vessel, with an American register and carrying an American flag, found in her own waters assisting or endeavoring to assist the insurrection in Cuba, but she has no right to eapture such a vessel on the high seas upon an apprehension that, in violation of the neutrality or navigation laws of the United States, she was on her way to assist said rebellion.” Mr. Evarts’ Contention. This opinion has much less bearing upon the presen: situation, however, than the letter addressed by Secretary Evarts to Mr. Fairchild, the American minister at Madrid in 1880, in regard to the action of the Spanish authorities in detaining and searching several American merchantmen in Cuba a few years before. Mr. Evarts went :nto the question of the right of search at length, and in the course of his argument made many assertions that are specially applicable to the case of the Alli- anca. He said: “The war vessels of Spain off the coast of Cuba have in at least four instances in rapid succession exercised the right of visitation and search upon vessels of the United States flymg the American flag, and pass- ing in pursuit of lawful trade through the commercial highway of nations which lies to the eastward of the Island of Cuba. This government does not lose sight of the ex parte declarations made by the Spanish local authorities at Santiago de Cuba, that the two acts thus far verified took place within the three-mile limit. This point is in dispute, and evidence as trustworthy as proof can well be in such cases is adduced to show that the vessels were at the time from six to eight miles distant from the shore. In the cases of the two remaining searches, the evidence fixes the distance from shere far.outside the limits men- tioned, and in that of the Hattie Haskell at over twenty miles from the Cuban coast. The Higher Consideration Involved. “The question does not appear to this government to be one to be decided alone by the geographical position of the vessels, but by the higher consideration Involved in this inwonted exercise of a right of search in time of peace, and to a greater extent than the existing treaty of 1795, between the two nations, in its eighteenth article, permits it to be exercised, even in time of recognized war, that article permitting visitation only, with inspection of the ves- sel's sea letters, and not search. These interferences with our legitimate com- merce do not even take the form of a rev- enue formality performed by the revenue vessels of Spain, but> carry in their methods most unequivocal features of bel- ligerent searches made by the war vessels of Spain. From the unhappy history of the events of the past ten years in and about the waters of the Antilles, it is only tco cogently to be inferred that these pro- ceedings of Spanish war vessels assume a right thus to arrest our peaceful commerce under motives not of revenue inspection, but of warlike defense. In this aspect of the case it may well be doubted whether, under color of revenue investigation, to intercept smuggling or other frauds, with- in the limit of the recognized maritime league, could be invoked in time of peace to justify the interference of Spanish cruisers with the lawful commerce of na- tions passing along a maritime highway, in a regular course of navigation which brings them near the Cuban coast, though rot bound to its ports. It is not to be sup- posed that the world's commerce is to be impeded, and the ships of foreign and friendly nations forced to seek an un- wonted channel of navigation; that they are to be driven out of their proper course into adverse winds and currents to avoid the offensive exercise of a right which is allowed only to the exigencies of a state of war, and to avert the imminent risk of armed attack and of discourtesy to the fisg they bear. And it needs no argument to show that the exercise of any such asserted rights upon commercial vessels on the high seas in time of peace is incon- sistent with the maintenance of even the mest ordinary semblance of friendly re- lations between the nation which thus con- sels are exposed to systematic detention and search by armed force. The Position of This Government. “I do not undertake, now, either a full exposition of the doctrine of this gov- ernment on the subject of the maritime jurisdiction of states over circumjacent waters, or a particular inquiry as to the di- verse views, in some sense, which have beer brought forward heretofore in the discussion between Spain and the United States on the subject of jurisdiction over Cuban waters. I desire, hcewever, that the position heretofore more than once dis- tinctly taken by this government, in its diplomatic correspondence with Spain, shall be understvod by you and firmly adhered to in any intercourse you may have in the pending situation with the Spanish minister of foreign affairs. This government never has recognized and never will recognize any pretense of exercise of sovereignty on the part of Spain beyond the belt of a Ieague from the Cuban coast over the commerce of this country in the time of pgace. This rule of the law of nations we consider too firmly established to be drawn into debate, and any dominion over the sea outside of this limit will be resisted with the same firmness as !f such domin- ion were asserted in midocean.” —— or THE FORTIFICATIONS BOARD. Decision in Regard to the Cramps and the Inch Mortars. The fortifications board has finally ae- cided that if the Cramps desire to supply fifty twelve-inch mortars at $6,500 each, for ccast defense, under the terms of the forti- fications appropriation bill, they must make the mortars equal to the new all-steel mor- tar. Through their attorney, the Cramps contended that they were only required to build the mortars to equal the steel-hooped cast-iron mortar, inasmuch as that was the only weapon of the kind in agtual use at the date of the bill's passage. The board, However, found that there were seven all- steel mortars in use in the service and de- cided to hold the Cramps to the severer standard set by that weapon. They also notified the attorney that any considerable excess in the size of the new mortar over the present standard could not be tolerated, as it would involve the building of new car- riages and a total reconstruction of the ex- isting mortar pits, and thus involve the Sovermeae in a great expenditure. ‘As the Cramps’ mortar is of cast metal and weighs 42,000 pounds as against 36,000 for the standard all-steel mortar, it may be impossible for them to bring it within the required dimensions. ‘Among other matters disposed of by fhe board at its last sessions was the allotment of $4,200 for the purchase of the Seabury 4.72-inch quick-firing gun now being tested at Sandy Hook in competition with the Canet, Armstrong and Hotchkiss guns, and the examination of plans for new gun car- riages and range finders. ducts itself and that whose merchant ves- |. ) O9009600 &ce. “extras” that started. support? ing Goods.

Scttling the Doctrine of States’ Rights on the Battlefield—Genius of American Institutions. ‘The Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Herbert, spoke at the dinner of the Hibernian So- ciety in Philadelphia last night on “The United States.” Secretary Herbert’s re- marks, as they related to the atttude of the south in bringing on the war, were of especial interest. Among other things, he said: “It was always the minority section that held to the extreme doctrine of states rights. In 1814 it was the New England states, in 1860 and 1861 the southern states. The question had to be settled, and, as both the federal government and states claimed to be sovereignties, there was no arbiter that could decide it except the sword. Our civil war that settled it forever was the mightiest struggle in the book of time. “Freemen had met freemen on the field of battle; all were fighting for what they con- ceived to be the liberties that had been be- queathed to them by their ancestors. The ten southern states had set over themselves in substance the constitution of 1789. It was altered in no material particular. It was written exactly as southerners believed Jefferson and Madison had construed it. They were fighting to maintain it as they understood it, and the people of the north- ern states were fighting for the Constitu- tion of the fathers, and the perpetual Union they understcod it to form. “I have been frequently asked the ques- tion, How is it that the people of the south so readily accepted the results of the war? How could they come back and so soon be- come loyal again to the Union? There is no secret about it if we look at the facts as they are. There never was a moment of time when the seceding states were not under just such a government as our fa- thers framed in 1789. When the civil war was over, when slavery, the cause of strife between ‘the two sections, had perished, when the question of secession had been settled, when the people of the two sections had learned on the field of battle to respect each other as never before, when the tramp of armies to and fro across Mason and Dixon's line had opened the eyes of the south to the fact that there were no natural barriers separating the south from the north, that this country is geographically one country, when the seceding states had been restored to their stetus as coequal states in the Union, there was nothing left to be hoped for or intelligently wished for tut union and confraternity. “Mr. President: Looking back over the period that has elapsed since the thirteen colonies won their independence, and look- ing forward as far as we may into the limitless future, the great civil war, bloody and prolonged though it was, was neverthe- less a single incident in the final make-up of our government, one of the steps necessary to be taken before this country could be fairly put upon the mighty career. for which it is destined @mong the nations of the earth. That war is a final, accepted and conclusive decision that the union of these states is forever indissoluble, and yet for us and our posterity it stands for more than this—it 1s the loftiest monument in the world of history, to the heroism, the devotion, the courage of man, a testimonial without parallel of the willingness of men and women reared under free institutions to sacrifice themselves for constitutional liber- ty. “A great government like ours must al- ways have before it grave questions to deal with, but for more than a century the saving common sense of the American peo- ple has been equal to every emergency. “Millions of the most enterprising of the pecples cf the old world have come to us, and we have Americanized them all. In art and literature we are beginning to excel. In agriculture, in mining, in manufactures, in trade, counting our internal commerce, we lead the world.
