One "break" by Spain at this time tnlght have serious consequences. It Would probably "break" Spain. Mattery with a String to It. It Is unfortunate that any number of Bcrantonlans should permit their anxi ety for a vacancy in the Judiciary of Lackawanna county, with its opportun ities for partisan contention, to stand In the way of this county's representa tion on the bench of the proposed new Superior court. While the animus of their selfish opposition to Mr. AVlllard's tandldacy is apparent, It Is equally clear that under present circumstances the failure of that candidacy at Harris burg would carry with It the failure of Northeastern Pennsylvania to secure representation In the new tribunal. In view of the fact that the proposed court will be, for many cases, virtually a supreme court, operating ns a tinal barrier to further uppeal; and also in recognition of the additional fact that among the oases over which it will have ultimate Jurisdiction will be many in tricate ones from this section Involving technical knowledge of the mining In dustry, wo think It Is conservative to Fay that the failure of Northeastern Pennsylvania to receive recognition in the composition of the Superior court would be at once a public misfortune and an Injustice to the people. Are thoae who now, doubtless for partisan reasons, fight Sir. Willard's candidacy, over another gentleman's head, pre pared to face the consequijnce.i should their factious opposition result In de priving the anthracite region of that fairly-deserved representation? The insincerity of tV fulsome praises of the distinguished president Judge of this county which are now sounded in the columns of an evening contempor ary, presumably us a mask for Its effort to breed dissension In the Republican ranks, readily appear when we reflect with what energy that now-flattering newspaper sought last fall to depose Judge Archbald In favor of a Demo rrat. Less than five months have passed since this uncertain organ of j.ubllc opinion was repeatedly con demning the present object of Its solici tude as one whom the voters of this county should reject, In order that its then favorite might step Into office. The impertience of its present oliy disre Bard of this recent history should ba , ,ii,t, j oui.iu.e.iv iu ummuw jui vuV' ible mischief. i. The presence of meddling Spanish Officials in the waters of the North American continent Is an anomaly, liowever viewed. Cuba should form art of these United States. The Annexation of Cuba. If, as some of his friends assert, Sec retary Gresham's bold stand for Ameri can rights in the Alllanca affair is partly Inspired by a desire for the ulti mate annexation of Cuba, It will un doubtedly augment the general popu larity of his course. There can bo llttlo division of opinion as to the desirabil ity of such annexation. Not the least tif the arguments In favor of that con Hummatlon Is opportunely noted by .Walter Wellman when he observes: 'There can be no doubt 'that In the near future the United States will In some manner construct the Nicaragua canal. American capital, whether, invested through private means or by the gov ernment directly, Is pretty sure to bo employed In this great work. Not only General Grant, but Mr. Dlalne per relved that construction of the canal Without possession of strongholds In he West Indies would lead to danger In case of foreign war, . Cuba. Is of Infinite Importance to the United States from ft naval point of view as well ns from commercial considerations." A similar view, It Is Interesting to note, Is entertained by Senator Hale, one of the most patriotic and well informed students .of American foreign affairs. After unreservedly applaud ing Secretary Gresham's dispatch to Minister Taylor lit senator says; "It is but a question of time when the United States must take possession of the Island of Cuba. It Is not only a desirable piece of property, but It naturally belongs to this country. It would be worth fully 300,000,000 to the United States. It would never do for Spuin to try to dlBposo of It to some other nation, for the United States would not permit such negotiations to be consummated. The United States should tuke early steps to acquire pos session of Cuba, either by annexation or otherwise." "There is a feeling In well-informed circles here," writes Mr. Wellman, in his Washington correspondence to the Chicago Times-Herald, "that the truth about the present Cuban insurrection Is only half known. It la believed the Spanish government has exercised rigid censorship over the channels of com munication, and bus deliberately and systematically suppressed the truth. A dispatch was published a day or two ago which Indicates that the Insurgents number 00,000, and that they have udopted a declaration of independence. If this be true, the movement is much more important than Spanish authori ties would have us believe. They Have endeavored to convince the world that the Insurrection is a pultry guerrilla out break, and that the leaders of the move ment are chiefly bandits and profession al agitators. Cubans resident in the United States deny this, and declare that the rebellion has a deep and Arm hold upon the people of the island." To be sure, this rebellion is not primarily our affair, but Spanish control over Cuba must end some day, anil the pres ent would unquestionably be a most opportune occasion. All things considered, it Is probably true that the government of the United States cannot consistently give open encouragement to the struggling Cuban patriots; but there Is absolutely no rea son why It should strain Its energies trying to perpetuate Spain's clutch upon that island; and we have an idea that If this revolution shall succeed, it will be largely because of American sympathy, money and brains, to which annexation will come as a fair reward. And now the story is that Lord Kose bery, feeling somewhat restored in health, will haiig on to the premiership of England a few weeks or months lunger. This course would undoubt edly give comfort to the opposition, which is by no means ready for a dis solution; but it marks the sad turn of a party that, once militant and united, is now a mass of factions held together by the merest thread, which may at any moment be snapped by one man's Indigestion or lack of restful sleep. The Knell of Murphylsm. There Is pending at Albany a bill for the reorganization of the Murphy po lice force of Troy in which all friends of good government are interested. The cuse is not different from that In New York city except that the posi tions are reversed. In Gotham the hon est people have an honest mayor. In Troy, the mayor Is a creation of the Murphy machine system of politics by which Iiobert Koss was assassinated and by which the taxpayers of Troy, for a generation, were unblushlngly snubbed, brow-beaten and, we dare say, plundered. What Gotham wants is a police bill which will put the power of appointment and dismissal In Mayor Strong's hands, because he represents the honest electorate. But what Troy wants Is a police bill which will take that same power from a boss-ridden mayor, who Is Edward Murphy's cousin, and vest it in the safe hands of a roputable, bi-partisan commission. The iase Is well stated )y the Troy Times, which excellent Journal has occupied the leading position throughout Troy's memorable uprising against Its arro gant despollers when It says: We have a distinguished Republican for governor, who has nothing In common with the Murphy "machine." He Is an entirely different type of man from his predecessor, who was simply a faelln In. strument In the hands of the Hlll-Croker Sheehan gang. We have a legislature He. publican by a large majority. The Repub lican party was voted Into power on Its pledge of reforming the flagrant state and municipal abuses under the lllll-Crokor-Murphy-Sheehan regime. No city has suf fered more from wicked "machine" ty ranny thun Troy. The people, especially the Republicans of Troy, demand relief from Governor Morton and the legislature. VII1 that relief be denied them? It Is be lleved our appeal will be heard and an swered. The entire state, understanding the frightful condition of affairs In this municipality, sympathizes with us and supports us In our petition for help, which In justice cannot bo denied us. When Troy Republicans went to tho polls last fall they had nof a doubt that In case we carry the state at the November election wo should be furnished with a. police force which would protect us at the polls, Instead of shooMng us down. They ask now, when New York and Hrooklyn and other rftles of tho state are cared for by beneficent legislation, whether they are to be left to the tender mercies of their oppressors? The only hope of anti-Murphy remedial legislation that can possibly accomplish a reformation in tho Troy police force lies In the bill which has passed the senate and Is now In the hands of the assembly cities committee. To oppose It Is to play Into the hands or Murphy. To support It Is to help overthrow the "machine." There Is no middle ground to occupy We who, from a distance, look upon the battle for reform In Troy as second In numbers but equal In principle to the larger battle which Is yet waging on Manhattan Island have every con II dence that Governor Morton, who has shown himself so well-disposed toward the causa of good government in the one locality, will not lack zeal In the rightful adjustment of the other city's needs. The Republican party In its Im pulses as they come from the people has mever a taint of the crookedness and deception which have charactor Ized the sway of such men as Edward Murphy, the boss of Troy.- We do not, therefore, believe that the leaders of th'o Republican party, however circum spect and wary they may be, can be blinded to the fact that their constitu ents expect them to show -Murphylsm no quarter. They have not merely played a game which puts them In olllce while their opponents have been put out! The battle Is one of everlasting principle. In which no Republican dare hedge or falter In the performance of his obvious duty. The decent citizenship of the country Is waiting patiently for the sound of Murpliylsm's death knell. The action of the owners of the Lon don Times In stationing Oeorge W. Smalley In New York as Its special American correspondent Is a belated but none the less welcome recognition of the importance of the United States from a European and more especially a Urltlsh standpoint. The Times, of course, Is all England, since, despite Its faults, all England reads the Times. And it Is something, even long after we have learned properly to estimate our own Importance, to know that llttlo England Is beginning In a stupid sort of way thus to estimate It, too. Five months ago the Seranton Truth wanted to see Judge Archbald defeated, upon the ground that he did not merit a re-election. Now It lauds him to the skies as the greatest Jurist in nil the virion 'round. We doubt whether the object of Its present solicitude will care a great deal for such fast-and-loose friendships as this. Secretary Gresham has reason to be gratllled at the practically unanimous approval which the country has accord ed to his recent assertion of American lights. The right action, in foreign affairs, Is rarely much criticized, which may serve to enlighten Mr. Gresham as to the quality of liis Hawaiian policy. lnhospltallty appears to be personi fied In Wllkos-liurre's treatment of the l'.aldwins. And yet, their only offense was In reading empty minds. LKGISLATIVK TOPICS. Harrlsbtirg. March 18. It Is now prac tically settled Mint the bill creating the superior court for the relief of the supreme court will become a law. There will be live Jiulnes, who will receive a salary of $7,500 each per annum, anil there Is con siderable speculation ua to the personnel of this Intermediate court. Coventor tastings will appoint the live Judges until next January, tbe people 111 'the meantime making their own selection at tho polls next November. With live Judges to fleet I he campaign for state treasurer, the only other stale otllce to be tilled, will be more Interesting. The reitlremcnt, of Judge Archbald us a candidate apparently ren- lers It certain that Governor Hastings will appoint K. N. Willard, of Hcrunton, as one of the live Judges. Attorney General M Cormlek Is tulked of for t hlef Justice of the court, but he Is quoted ns saying that be does not want to go on the bench. Should he be appointed, George H. Orltuly, of Huntingdon, Is suggested as ills succes sor, but should he continue in Ills deter mination to remain where he Is, Mr. Or lady may be given the place on tbe bench. Judge .Michael Arnold, of Philadelphia, Is generally conceded the minority place on the henc!i if he will accept, and for the re maining two places, Judge Mel'herson, of llariisbiirg, and Judge John Stewart, of Chambersburg, are suggested. .Martin .May Show l ight. The Patriot Is authority for the asser tion that David Martin has gone Into busi ness for himself. lie has given up all hope of making up with Senator Quay and Is quietly setting up a political machine of his own. Murtln Is preparing for a tight for control of the delegates from Penn sylvania to the next national Republican convention. He has already set up candi dates In many of the congressional dis tricts and expects to have a candidate in every district in the state by the middle of June. The movements of the Philadel phia leader are so carefully concealed that they ure known only to his most intimate friends. Hut he Is deceiving himself If he thinks he Is fooling Senator Uuay. Tho silent senator knows exactly what Is be ing done by his former colleague and Is preparing to thwart his plans. Martin and Senator Porter aro back of the movement for an early adjournment of the legisla ture. Senator Quay does not want a short session. He believes the people will bo satisfied If tho legislature does not get awny before tho first of June If the law makers do their work well. Chris L. Ma gee Is working in harmony with the friends of Senator Quay. The Allegheny leader has ussured the senator that he will stand by him to the last In his tight against tho .Martin-Porter machine. National Guard Armories. A number of prominent ofllcers of the National guard have been here during the past week, advocating a plan to provide armories for the various commands throughout tho state. Among them were Colonels Case and Hippie, .Majors Keen ami Warmun and Captain Louis R. Wal ters, all of whom ure members of the ex ecutive committee of the organization of National guard ofllcers formed here at the time of the Inauguration of Governor Hastings. One plun suggested was to have the leglsature appropriate 13,000 to each company, and then save the $-00 an nually appropriated for armory rent. As there are 100 companies In the guard, how ever, and but little money In the treas ury, this plan was quickly given up as Im practicable. The father npppurcd In a much more favorable light, liowever. It Is merely to Increase the annual rent ap propriation from fcMOto tH.H), which would allow the companies 'to erect armories and pny Interest on a mortgage at 5 per cent., the Btate to protect Itself by taking title to tho property. This plan would re quire an Increase of only fcK.ooO In the an nual appropriation to the guard. Cameron und tho I iituro. It Is authoritatively announced that Senator Cameron would like to have the legislature adopt a resolution Indorsing his view on silver. During last week he was visited by many members of the sen ate and house anil the burden of his song was sliver. Ho 'tried to Impress all his callers with his faith In the white metal. Senator Cameron and Senator Quay arc now in the south, and when they come north In April Senator yuny wjll bo the guest of Senator Cameron for several days. It Is understood that this visit bus been arranged for the purpose of repairing Senator Cameron's fences anil starting the campaign for re-election two years hence. Conferences will be held with all tho prominent members of both branches of the legislature, and It may be possible to secure the passage of some sort of reso lution to put Senator Cameron In better shape for the contest ahead. There Is no question that he will be strongly opposed, Having Fun with Mr. Schwar. Representative Schwarz, of Monroe county, has furnished amusement for his friends by the bill he Introduced In the state legislature to make lawyers of pro thonotarles who had served three full terms. Some of Mr. Schwarz'g friends In Htroudsburg, knowing that he had Intro duced the measure, forwarded him a num ber of amendments to his proposed law. Among these was one creating physicians out of doctors' hostlers. Another made tho court house janitors full-fledged law yers. A third compelled county superin tendents to grant certlllcates to school house janitors and compelled -boards at education to employ them. Another cre ated grangers out of railway employes that handled fertilizers. f No Hops for tho Kovcnuo Hill. The revenue bill doomed to defeat. Governor Hastings and the members of his olllclni family are understood to be agulnBt It, as are also many pro linen t men representing all the Interests uftected. Another strong argument against the bill Is the fact that It will decrease the reve nues. Ex-State Treasurer Uoyer has showed the staff's. fiscal officers that tho proposed measure would have a serious effect upon the revenues. TOLD BY THE STARS. Daily Horoscope.
