The inauguration of McK-inley as President of the United States will take place one week from to-day. the situation. The situation in and about Havana is at present decidedly in favor of the insurgents. The winter season is now fast drawing to a close, and the re bellion no nearer ended than it was when the Cuban patriots shouldered their arms to battle for freedom The number of men under General Gomez is increased, and this great leader is drawing nearer to Havana, the walls of which act as a shelter to the in human Weyler, who has been continu ally boasting that he would end the rebellion before the spring season. The method of warfare employed by butcher Weyler is proving to be dismal failure. He has succeeded, with the assistance of the base treach ery of Dr. Zertucha, in murdering the brave leader Macco, whose dealli he had thought would dishearten the Cubans, and at once cause their sur render, but his hopes were never ma terialized, as the martyr's place has been taken and is being ably filled by the heroic Gomez, who is closing in upon his oppressors, and driving them back whenever opportunity pre sents itself. Spain's hopes are growing fainter, day by day, her resources are totally exhausted, and we venture the asser tion that the end of this conflict, and Cuban freedom is not far distant. Bow Changeable- Not long ago, when the Turks were butchering the poor Armenians by the hundreds, and committing many other outrages, the whole world tried to make believe that they were in sym pathy with the latter and that they were itching for a chance to repay Turkey for their atrocious acts. But now when Greece wants to take the whole world's battle all alone, the unsatisfied old world is afraid little Greece might gain a few feet of terri tory, so she stands with her face to the wall and says : "You must let Turkey alone." There is no country under the sun that needs a tjood sound thrashing worse than Turkey, and if this can be accomplished by Greece everything will run a great deal smoother. Unwise Federal Economy. The House Naval Committee has certainly put its foot down with vengeance upon the Federal policy of thi? upbuilding of the new navy. Sec retary Herbert's recommendation to Congress was that three new battle Brims should be added to the Federal fleet Such an addition would. adopted, increase the number of that class of men-of-war to fourteen. But the exceedingly economic House com mittee confines its generosity to the recommendation ot one solitary new battleship. The provision for one composite sailing vessel for use at the Naval Academy has been rendered unavoidable by the dispatch of the Bancroft to Oriental waters. Captain Mahan'g book on " The Sea Power in History " ought to be read aloud to these committeemen in extra session. ' Not only is the navy still in need of a steady battleship policy, but the peculiar feature of the proposed three new battleships was to have been their extreme deep load draught of only 23 feet. ' As the President of the War College at Newport has reported "the close study of the Gulf of Mexico which has been carried on by the Navy Department's orders shows it to be essential to the success of defen s.ve naval campaigns that the United States shall be able ta use for our fighting ships those harbors which . Nature, has provided. Although pos sessing bases or fleets in that region, the fact that there is not enough depth of water for our fighting ships to enter them will render them of but slight benefit to ui." Consideration of strategy would seem to urge the building of several battleships fitted for Gulf warfare Record. The Luzerne County Commission ers have decided to increase the coun ty tax two mills, and bonds to the amount of $90,000 will be issued. ' EI3 CHIEF PURPOSE- Hanna feels rather exuberant since his appointment to fill the unexpired term of Sherman and hasannounced his intentions as senator. He says : " As far as my policy goes it will be to aid the McKinley administration and, in particular, to assist in framing at once a tariff bill which will seek to restore confidence to the country and give ft stimulus to our industries. That is now the chief purpose of my life." One of the chief, iNfark, one of the chief. In this purpose will not be sac rificed so much attention and time as to make the senator forgetful of the affairs of the business man. The senator will not become so absent- minded as to unwittingly raise the wages of his miners to something above the life sustaining limit He will never so far foreet other chief purposes of his life as to pay living wages to his lake sailors. He will not in a fit of abstraction sell any of the vessels upon the sale of which de pends so much to their builders. No other chief purpose of his life will for an instant induce him to neglect an opportunity to engineer a corner in a necessary of life. We believe, however, that he is much interested in " my policy," in " aiding the administration " and the framing of a tariff bill. There are political debts to pay and tariff and revenue dividends to be declared. There are interests to be rewarded and others to be punished. TJje Mc Kinley presidential combine must be given what it wants and it can be helped best by a friend at court. It will write its own schedules and Hanna will tell the senate these are what the people demand. It will write schedules for the punishment of the contumacious, and these will, by Michael Angelo Hanna, be painted with the colors of popularity and mounted in the frame of occasion. Hanna has only one chief purpose in life, though there be many chapters of it, and that purpose is to further the interests of an Ohio gentleman whose name begins with H. Patriot. PENHSYLVAMA'3 VIEW. The State Representatives' Sarcasm Con cerning the Cretan Affair. On Tuesday in the House of Repre sentatives the following severe resolu tion, introduced Dy Mr. Cray, of Luzerne, was adopted : Resolved (if the Senate concur) : That the sympathy of the Legislature of Pennsylvania is hereby extended to the Powers of Russia, England, Germany, Austria and Italy in their heroic struggle to protect suffering Turkey from the aggressions of the "unspeakable Greek ;" also, that we recommend to his Excellency, Grover Cleveland, President of the United States, the advisability of immediate ly dispatching Commander William M. Kidd with a fleet of Schuylkill River tugboats to assist the aforesau Powers in blockading the ports of Greece t also, that Colonel James B. Coryell be directed to arm the Ly coming County Tigers to the teeth and hold them in readiness to be trans ported to the scene of hostilities at a day s notice. WORK OF THE FLOODS.
