Senator Cameron's Harrisburg recep tions have been postponed until some time in April. And thus ceaseth an other of the fragile Joys of life at the state capital. - Hurrah for Creshamt The action of Secretary Gresham In the Alllanca affair deserves and will receive the unanimous commendation of all true citizens. He waited until he was sure of his facts, and then went ahead. His message to the American minister at Madrid, both for its word ing and for the spirit behind it. Is pre eminently the most creditable single act officially connected with the second Cleveland administration. The note struck in the passage we are about to quote rings true and clear as steel; and it Is the first note of its kind In the gamut of our too-often vacillat ing diplomacy since the resignation of James Q. Blaine. "This government," says Secretary Gresham, "will expect prompt disavowal of the unauthorized act and due expression of regret on the part of Spain, and it must Insist that Immediate and positive orders be given to Spanish naval commanders not to interfere with legitimate American commerce passing through that chan nel, and prohibiting all acts wantonly Imperiling life and property lawfully under the flag of the United States. Tou will communicate this to the minis ter of foreign affairs, and urge the im portance of prompt and satisfactory re sponse." Remembering; that It Is the duty of party politics to obliterate Its dividing lines the moment It touches foreign af fairs, we hasten to accord to the pres ent secretary of state the ample credit which Is due to him because of this be lated, but nevertheless welcome, asser tion of American dignity. The intrinsic Importance of the Alllanca incident It self Is trivial compared with the happy significance of this unexpected evidence that the honor of American diplomacy Is not yet a lost resource. The Wllkea-Barre Record pays a high compliment to the personal and official character of Judge Charles E. Rice, of Luzerne, all of which Is true. The Tribune takes pleasure In assenting to any Just commendations of that excel lent Jurist; but it believes that Scran ton Is nevertheless fairly entitled to representation on the bench of the pro posed superior court. The cause of the Cuban revolutionists h the cause of liberty, and we hope that despite past failures it will yet triumph. Worth Remembering. Below we give the names of those common councllmen who voted, at the last meeting of the lower branch of councils, to authorize the laying by the Bcranton Traction company of a double track on Franklin avenue, notwith standing the protest of a large majority of the owners of property on that ave nue: .... Golden, Thomas, . - Weniel, . Morris, Regan, Sweeney, Qrler, McLean, Howe, Davis, Hickey. Norton, NeeJIs. The names of the members who op. posed the passage of this ordinance, at least until the affected property own ers had been allowed a serious hearing were as follows: Robathen, Molr, ! Robinson, JSeidler, Noone, 'Williams, ' Both lists of names It will be well to remember. We venture to say that few Intelli gent Scrantonlans would desire the no toriety which has been achieved by certain persons through their prosecu tions of the proprietors of the Lacka wanna night lunch wagons. We do not know upon what ground these prosecu tors base their claim that these lunch wagons, after belngduly licensed by the mayor and street commissioner, have no right to pursue a legitimate business which Is to many patrons a positive convenience. But we think it Is ap parent, from the circumstances of the various arrests, that these prosecutions are actuated by something less credita ble than philanthropic motives;' and if the law cannot head them off, equity ought to. The bishop of Harrisburg is appar ently . opposed to keeping sectarianism out of the publlo schools, when It hap pens to be his kind of sectarianism. Fortunately publlo sentiment does not sustain his view. The Future of Cuba. It has always been our opinion that the United States should own Cuba. Its fertility, the magnlllcence of its climate, and the high chuructcr of Its educated Inhabitants not less than Its strategic importance in the event of war all strongly recommend It us a proper addition to the Amerlcun re public. The native residents of Cuba, in the main, are must friendly to us. They have, from Infancy, been taught to regard our republic as the model ufter which they must pattern the government Which they shall create when once their beautiful island is free. And in lute years, us the sons of muny wealthy and Influential Cuban families, after receiving their educa tion 'n the United States, have com municated with friends at home the advantages of civic Institutions as they are found in this country, the feeling entertained In the Queen island of the Antilles for its big American neighbor has deepened Into one of almost pro found admiration. If freedl from tlie oppressive and utterly abhorrent domination of Spun lsh slnecurists, to whom otllclal posi tion In Cuba meuns merely numerous opportunities for squeezing money and favors from the nutlve population with in their Jurisdiction, we believe thut the Cuban people would spontaneously and with practical unanimity knoi'k for admission Into the American Union. Friends of Cuban birth, In constant correspondence with the first patriots of the Island, Inform us that while the desire of the natives to drive out their accursed Spanish despollers Is most Intense, It Invariably holds before Itself, as an ultimate desideratum, en trance as a state Into the federal go-v-ernment of the United States. The passion for liberty, which in inborn in every high-bred Cuban, goes hand in hand with friendliness for Americans and eagerness to become a part of the Yankee confederation. This government has made two offers to purchase Cuba. Spain has declined both. The reason of Spain's declina tion is -obvious. Cuba is the source of decaying Spain's financial life-blood. It is a mint of revenue, and a mafiilfl cent plucking;. But in 'the light of Spain's demonstrated unfitness to ex ercise an enlightened suzerainty over Cuba, and in view of the eagerness of Cubans themselves to become a part of the American Union, we are fur from certain, to be quite frank, that Spain's wishes in the matter need to receive any consideration whatever. The grievances of the thirteen Ameri can colonies against King Qeorge III In 176 were not one whit more substantial than are the just grievances of the Cuban people against the impertinent domination of the Spalnards. And If an American statesman could be found of sufficient caliber to propose what, deep In the heart of nearly every man who has studied this question Is con ceded, If not publicly confessed as the proper course for Americans to pursue; namely, the chasing of the Spalnnrd by force of arms utterly out of Ameri can waters, that statesman would, In our opinion, find it to be one of the most popular foreign policies yet suggested In connection with the administration of this hitherto insular and often in vertebrate government. Secretary Gresham may not be a great man; but let us remember that as the head of our department of for eign affairs he is to be accounted, .until shown otherwise, not a Democrut, a Republican or a Mugwump, but an American, occupying the weightiest po sition In the federal government. Mr. Kerr's Little Joke. Ex-Representative Kerr, of Clear field, who was chief elerk of the con gress of dishonor, and to whom will. It is said, be confided by the Cleveland administration the delicate mission of reconstructing what there Is left of tho Pennsylvania Democracy, has been con ducting a conversation at Washington apparently through the crevices of his headgear. In other words he has been telling reporters such nonsense as this: "It sounds like tho wildest extrava gance, but I firmly believe that In the next conventions the Democrats will declare for gold monometallism and tho ilupuu llcans for stiver. And the Republicans will nominate some man like Teller or Cameron. Heed himself. In my opinion, wouldn't need much of a push to end him out for sliver. Over on the Democratic side, us things now shape up, the gold In fluence Is bound to control. Anil the nom inee for the presidency will ba Cloveluml. The fight which. would follow would le the biggest bear dance ever witnessed In politics. It would take a month for men to find out on which side they belonged." As between gold monometallism, under the lead of a discredited egotMt like Cleveland and honest bimetallism, under the lead of any capable Repub lican, It would take Intelligent men less than one second to determine on which side they would enlist. Mr. Cleveland, on such a platform, with his recent record fresh in mind, would be fortu nate If he could capture one electoral vote. But of course Kerr is only joking. Free-lunch statesmanship very nat urally objects to night lunches that cost. The resignation by Lord Rosebery of the English premiership would necessi tate a dissolution of parliament, a new appeal to the people and, In all proba bility, a Tory victory. One does not like to think that constitutional reform In England, since Mr. Gladstone's re- tlrement, depends solely on the health of one man; but this nevertheless ap pears to be the fact. Certain Democrats at Harrisburg, we are told, hold to the belief that the time has now come for the Democratic party in Pennsylvania to take advantage of tho mistakes of the Republicans In this legislature and to rebuild the party from the foundations up. But where will they locate the foundations? The time Is apparently fast arriving when these United States will have to take a considerable part In Interna tional politics. Muy American states manship prove equal to the responsibil ity! From the different stories circulated in reference to the Meudville oleomar garine controversy It begins to look as though some one hud been exhibiting a disregard for the truth. Speaker Walton evidently took no stock In the star Spanglered banner of the excitable member from Cumber land. The Stars and Stripes cun be mightily misused, at times. LEGISLATIVE TOPICS. Hurrlsburg, March 15. That the polit ical break between I'nlted States Sena tor (Juuy uml David Martin Is complete was emphuslzed today when the predic tion wus mudu that Magistral Durham would succeed Mr. Murtln us the member of tho national ltepulflleun eommlttuu from EViinny vanlu. Senator (Jtuiy and his friends are looking toward liM, and all of those moves In the city and state ure di rected to the onu object. .Mr. CJuiiy, It Is said, proposes to complete his bleak with Mr. Martin by forcing him out of the com mittee. The matter bus been fully dis cussed by Mr. Quay and his friends and they are urt-pured to act when the time tomes. Three) names have been men tioned altogether. They ure State Sena tors Arthur Kennedy, of Allegheny; V. H. Andrews, of Crawford, und Mr. Dur ham. Of the three Mr. Durham seemed to meet with most favor among the Quay people. Novel Trolley Legislation. The I'llun bill, authorizing traction or motor power companies to enter Into con tract with each other for the sale, lease and operation of their respective prop erty ami franchises, ht's passed the senate. Senator White, of Heaver, objected to the provision of tho bill which shuts out truetlun companies operating In boroughs, townships or country roads. Mr. White argued thut what Is kooiI for traction lines 111 the cities ought to apply to the companies In the towns and country. No explanation was made us to why street railways In the rural districts should not huve the right to sell or lease their prop erty to each other. An Energetic timns Hill. The Focht game bill, which has passed the house on second reading, Is likely to raise a storm of Indignation anion); the hutitent ami lovers of pme. Practically, It places an embargo upon tho slaughter and the sale of game the, y ar round. The purpose sought by the Influences behind the bill Is to give game a chance, the late severe winter having created awful havoc with It, end will make It scarce for a long time to come. The bill not only checks the klillnir but tho selling und tho serving. The ian who kills It Is liable to punishment; the railroad, stage line or steamboat that carts It to market Is pun ishable; the person who sells It can be handled, and the pr:y who may serve it Is made amenable to thj lav,-. I or a Slimmer Hcoojs. There Is more or less talk, among the rural member, of adjourning some time after tho middle of April, not finally, hut until next autumn, when tho solons from the country districts will have harvested their crops. Such an adjournment would. If taken, be called merely a recess. The proposition niets with rr.uch favor. . Amendments to ti e Pnrr Hill.

A few months ago the spirit of municipal Improvement laid hold of the officials and somo extensive betterments wore planned and carried out, and contracts mado fur others. It was contemplated that a bond lesue be author btod, and at the late election the ctty voted on a proposition to bond the city for S900, DUO to meet the expenses. To the general surprise and disgust of the officials the proposition was voted down by rather a large majority, and now the city, It may be said. Is In a hole. There Is no money with which to pay for the Improvements. The city will now come to the legislature for some sort of relief to help It out of Its dilemma. . TOLD BY THE STARS.
