ders of President Emilio Caatelar.
Thi3 hostile attitude of the Spanish
nation is certuinly not justifiable by
reason of any act or nets upon the
part of our government. Its position
has clearly been one of leniency and
forbearance, -and the tone of a major
ity of our leading journals kind and
concihatory.while there appears to Le
a fixed determination on the, part of
Spain with or without provocation,
to justify, in any event, the foul mur
ders done at Santiago. Acting up to
the record of her by gon'e days, and
fully ignoring the humanities of that
broader civilization which has, in a
great measure, smoothed the horrid
I rout of war, for the fifty years past,
she but gives just cause to the nations
who denounce, even with acrimony,
herlute attrocitios in Cuba. And it
would appear from her present attitude-that
her red and yellow flag, em
blem of cruel rule, and national per
fidy, is still to flaunt over acts of vin
dictive slaughter and savage murder,
smh as has stained with the orimon
i igdyo of blond, its eery fo!d in all
the centuries of her past national ex
istence. That a portion of the American
press should justify. In any degree,
the late act of Gen. Buriel, but shows
them unacquainted with those imper
ative rules of International warfare,
to which the civilized nations of the
earth are bound by treaty and cus
tom. And the distinction sought to
be taken between insurgents and be
ligerents at war, is of manifest error
in contradiction to the late practice of
nations, and the principlesjaid down
Spaiti. will never re-conquer and sub-
jvigate'Crifca ' civilization and human
ity are against it. The days in which
the ornel murder of defenseless pris
oners will be permitted with impuni
ty have passed, and passed forever.
Slavery, prison-murders and the
wholesale slaughter of defenseless
crews must all go down together ; all
are equally and alike lursed of God,
and must perish from among every
people who revere His name and owu
His power.
Cuba must pass out from under the
thralldom of Spain, be of itbelf a free
and independent state, or else a part
and portion of this government. The
great and paramount interest of the
world's advancing civilization and
broadening christian humanity im
peratively demand lhat the narrow,
proscriptive and bloody rule of Spain
should cease forever, over the island
of Cuba, while the great and power
ful in terestd of the American people
require that if they do not absolutely
own, at least their policy shall bear
imperative sway over both Cuba and
San Domingo. The grain producing
interest of the United States is of such
enormous proportions and the aggre
gate surplus of such magnitude that
unrestricted aud rapidly increasing
foreign markets is of prime necessity,
while both the manufacturing aud
commercial interests demand a like
expansion. Coupled with this, the
tfiyical wants of our people require
and must have cheap sugar and cof
fee, and for this our people can only
look to the two islands already nam
ed. The American people can no
more do without those two necessi
ties than they could dispense with
corn or wheat. Habits of food are an
integral part of their civilized struc
ture, which they cannot and dare not
dispense with, and the breaking down
of which would be n retrograde move
ment toward barbansm.
Ihe theory and practice of Spain so
far as her colonial dependencies are
concerned, has been one greatly in re
btraint of trade and exchange. It
costs the American producer more to
day to send his flour by direct line to
Cuba than it does to enter the cargo
at Cadiz aud from thenco reship to
Cuban ports, while our manufactur-

sedition and rebellion are such wars

Acoording to the New York Times
the silver age has come again to the
metropolis. Silver dimes, half-dimes,
quarters, half dollars, and even dol
lars, it says, "are given out as change

about chinking the silver coin in

A special dispatcji from Washing

some of its leading features will be.
There is little reason todouht,the dis

some of the most needed great public

in his hist message. Among these is
a canal for connecting the Ohio and
Virginia canals, and the ship canal
around Niagara and one connecting
the greit lakes witn the Mississippi.

prisoners, of non-combattants, and of
property. So, also, natural justice de
mands the same veracity and faithful
ness which ar; binding In the inter
course of all moral beings." See
Woolsey's International Law, 231.
Now, apply these principles to the
facts and circumstances surrounding
and connected with the capture of the
Virginius and the execution of her
living cargo, and justification there
from will be impossible, and but of
bhcer madness. Woolsey, Vattle and
the law writers lay down the rule
that a rebellion in a foreign t.epend-i-iicy,
if maintained for any consider
able length of time, becomes a foreign
war and the revolting party entitled
to beligerent rights, and which pre
vents those taken as prisoners from
being treated as traitors or rebels.
For five long years Spain has total
ly failed to conquer the insurgents of
Cub3, and the capture of the Virgin
ius upon the high seas was in all n
spects a full acknowledgment of her
beligerent character, and her owner
ship that of a beligerent power. The
pretense of her piratical character is
indefencible upon any grounds. The
vessel was no well known to Ameri
can, English and Spanish waters; her
sailing from a neutral port was noto
rious and known of all. That she
was preying upon the commerce of
nations with whom she was not at
declared war, and on the high seas, is
not even alleged, and her cargo, tho'
It may have been contraband of war,
and iutended for the iiicurgeuts of
Cuba, can in no sense stamp either
vessel or crew as piratical.
If the position is that the revolu
tionary forces in Cuba are but local
insurrectionists, and those who would
come to their aid' but insurgents, then
her municipal law may execute the
sentence of dt-ath only upon those ta
ken in overt acts of treason within
her borders, and upon full and fair
trial, after the suppression of the re
bellion or insurrection. That her ju
risdiction of municipal law extends
only one marintine league from her
coast line it? not to bo disputed, and if
not, then tbj cantor of the Virgin
ius beyond lhat point is only to be
justified by the position that she was
a vessel belonging to a foreign or be
ligerent power then at war with
Spain ; aud, therefore, the slaughter
of her passengers and crew was such
a flagrant violation of (IvilizelT'war
fare as would mstrfytue ruling na
tions iiiuuirifchitig by proper acts of
powrand authority. But more es
pecially does it justify the govern
ment of the United States in taking
such extreme measures and demand
ing such full atonement as will repair
the wrong, prevent a like occurrence,
establish a juat aud humane rule of
warfare, aud vindicate insulted aud
outraged national honor.
Spain needs.'ln this instance, and
the world's civilization demands that
she should receive, a severe ami caus-
.tic lesson. Her people, both at home
and in hei colonies, are not willing to
be just and aro continually rending
each other. The Moorish contests
which engrossed her sovereigns when
Columbus asked aid to his discoveries,
terminated, but the iniquities and se
verities of the Inquisition poisoned
and maddened her people, and cor
rupt Bourbon misrule has left them
powerless to-day to safely, .conduct
the revolution which they commenc

mates, and their soil, forests and
mines, developed by American ener
g and industry, would add greatly
to the .wealth, power and comfort of
the American people.
Under the sway of our benign In
stitutions the inhabitants of those is
lands would become large consumers
of American agricultural products
and manufactures and would give us,
at greatly reduced prices, those tropi
cal articles which we cousume so
largely, thereby equaliz ng our ex
ports and imports, and thus giving to
trade and commerce a great aud fefii
cient impetus.
Every reason and principle of civ
ilized rule of commercial exchange
and intercourse, of national prosperi
ty and protection, of the wants and
comfort of the people, each alike, and
all together demand and require that
the government of the United States
should own and control with ubsolute
sway both the islands of Cuba and
San Domingo. This is not the rob
ber's plea of strength, but it is the le
gal and moral demand of christianiz
ed and humanized modern society,
and a demand before which the re
pressive, tyranical, barbarous and per
fidiousiy selfish governmentsof earth
must go down. It is the great cm
sade of man and humanity against
the bitter and coroive wrongs under
which earth's millions have suffered
and died in all the dark ages of the
past.
That tho course indicated would
eventuate in foreign complications
and war with Spain cannot and will
not deter our government from a fnll
vindication of its just rights, the
maintenance of national honor, and
the demand of progiesstve civilized
developments, we are fully convinc
ed. War may be cruel, barbarous and
destructive, yet. in this instance, its
stern, red-handed power will alone
yield an ample corrective remedy. If
the plea for peace, at any price, with
Spain, is based solely upen financial
grounds, then and in that caSu we ap
prehend that neither the rule or the
reason of the rule is good, for its ten
dency would be to greatly accelerate
trade, advance the p;ice of produce
by creating a home market, open new
OUR HIGH SCHOOL.
We acknowledge an invitation
from Prof. Rich to attend the closing
exercises of the week on Friday after
noon last. Being called away from
the city on business-, we delegated a
reporter who has seen fit to talk in
the following order:
On Friday afternoon. Prof. Rich be
ing absent, the duties appertaining
to the various exercises devolved up
on Miss Abernethy, his able assist
ant. On arriving at the schoolroom
we were politely directed to a teat,
ami upon taking a survey of observa
tion found the room in rather a warm
condition ; scientifically propounded
as calorical. This state of atmospher
ic rarity may have been induced by
the peculiar character of the subject
under discussion by the reciting class,
which was of rather a warm disposi
tion as it included reflex currents,
earthquakes and volcanoes. At any
rate the class made it warm for the
dwellers in those latitudes where
work of the kind indicated is put up.
Miss A's class In Latin appears to
be making excellent progress, and her
style of communicating the myster
ies of a dead language to liviag pu
pils is efficient and successful ; at any
rate the class left the maidens of some
far off fancy land in love with its
real, unreal king.

which opened by a murmuring, mun-
ieal song, "The Beautiful inns."
We noticed the Moderator's eyes
brighten aa the.full-toned music from
half a score of rich young voices blent
in ringing harmony.
A recitation by Lydia Stephens, on
the enduring influence of human ac
tions, had in its tones, fullness of
sound and clearness of articulation,
but lacked flexibility of elocution.
Tho T.psson of Grief, by Master
Wall, was declaimed in full, .sonor
ous voice, but lacked that mannerism
wh'ch the talkers denominate g-sture.
An essay by Clara Huddart, being a
biographical sketch of Daniel Web
ster, was well read, had clearness and
directness, and was good, both as to
tone and manner.
The Mi-chief Makers, a recitation
by Ella Plasters, (probably intended
for your reporter,) wiii finely spoken
and well received by the audience.
An essay by Dell Fui'lough, on the
life of Joseph, was a compact resume
of historical biblical facts, showed
strength or mind to grasp and wield a
difFu-ive.narrative, was read in good
tone of. voice, but was rather lengthy
for summer reading.
Music, solo and chorus, "Take, thi
Letter to my Mother," by Misses Co
ra Gates and Morgan. We thought
at times that the full soprano tones
were jarred by. tho open doors and
windows of the room, yet there was
a dulcet melody in the music, and al
though not reaching the blgl e-t scale,
was at all times extremely true and
pleasing.
Suavity of Manners, by Jennie
Crops, win spoken in a sweetly mod
ulated vojee. She evidently felt- atd
was influeufod by tho spirit of. her
subject.
Riley Cole gave a recitation- accom
panied by some good gestures, which
added interest to the spoken words.
Edward Arnold rang out a full,
strong voiced declamation over lhat
blind old bard Milto.n,and theslaugh
tered giant of the Fiench Republic.
Danton, but his voice lacked flexibil
ity of rise and fall, and needed, as an
accompaniment to such a stirring
theme, pantominic gestures.
An ea-y, flowing, soft-toned essay,
by Miss Ada Morgan, was well ar
ranged, logical in deduction ami terse

From the Lincoln Slate Journal, of last Sat
urday. Death of Hon. II. XV. Sonimerlatl.
We are pained to announce the
death of Hon. H. W. Sommerlad,
which took place at hfs residence eastj
of the city, at a quarter past eieeu
o'clock yesterday morning, in couse
quence of injuries received by beiug
thrown from his wagon while the
horses were running away last Wed
nesday, an account of which was giv
en in the columns of the State Jour
nal. From the first there was no hope
for him, and he felt satisfied of the re
sult. Drs. Eughsh Reuuer and Ful
ler were coustaut-iu their attendance
at his bedside, but they early ascer
tained that his principal injury was a
rupture of the small intestines, per
itontis; and mortification was the
natural consequence, and all that
could be done, was to smooth his path
way to the tomb. He died peacefully
and without apparent pain, although
he suffered intensely after he receiv
ed the injuries.
Mr. Sommerrod was born in Beer
lelden, Hesse-Darmstadt, Sept. 10th.
1831, and was therefore a little over 42
years of age. His father was a school
teacher by profession, and is still liv

Mr. Sommerlad received a liberal ed
ucation and learned the trade of cab
inet maker. He came to this country
in 1852. and settled at Buffalo, N. Y.
where he followed his trude with ex
celent success. He was married to his
fir.st wife in 1852. and four of the eight
children who survive him, weJiy

Mr. Sommerlad was the soul and

his fellow-citizens at different times
in the ollices of Mayor, Alderman,
Treasurer, Justice of the Peace, &c
He errected the City Hall in Arago,
and was otherwise identified with
business interests of that city and
county.
He was ever a staunch Republican,
anil in 18G9, va elected to the State
Senate, and became an earnest siip

merlad's exertions in his behalf. Sen
ator Hitchcock recommended him for
the position of Register of the U. S.
Land Office for this district, and he
received the appointment and con
tinued up to the time of his death,
to discharge the duties of that ollice,
to the satisfaction of everybody.
While thus actively employed in
the discharge of his otliicial duties, he
was also engaged in private business
