KZRA H. RIPPLE. Chairman. W. 8. MILLAR. Secretary. No na'tlon In the New World should be fcotmed, Wed or bamboozled against Its will by a power of Europe. That may not be International law, but It Is eternal common Justice and common sense. The League Convention. The Rcputbllcan league convention at York today will differ radically from the gathering at 'Harrlsburg two weeks ago, which seemed at one time likely to culminate In blows and bloodshed. It will have no favorites to advance and no enemies to punish. The spirit of factionalism wHl be absent from its deliberations. Its one aim and, pur pose will be to Aid In the dissemina tion of Republican principles and help swell the majorities of Republican can didates through the potent Influence of unselfish organization; an end In the pursuit of which family political feuds wHI be Ignored and Internecine rival ries brushed aside as things foreign to the occasion. While it Is not always practicable to estimate. In figures, the benefits of a political auxiliary it 1s strictly within the limits of truth to say that the Re publican league of Pennsylvania has been a potent Influence In the accumu lation of Republican pluralities at the polls. Working not merely during the few weeks of the campaign, but stead ily busy every month In the year; reaching the minds of men not simply by aid of occasional splurge or out-door rally, but dally and Incessantly, through careful distribution of con vincing literature; and Introducing Into politics the social pleasures but not the social perils of the conventional club, thus attracting young citizens to an active and pUaaant Interest In public affairs, the club Idea has come to stay; and will stay to make Its effectiveness even more plainly felt than It has been felt hitherto. During the past year,-with little of ex- ! citing Interest to draw men's attention to political subjects, and with many conditions of business to discourage the spread of the club spirit, notable progrens has been achieved. President Warren, without rnaklng an ado, has been vigilant In the league's behalf. With results that will happily appear In his annual report. Uetalls of organiza tion have been supervised with uncom mon effectiveness; substantial and not ephemeral growth has followed earn est effort to recruit new membership; And throughout the state the Republi can league clubs are gaining the confi dence which "cornea to honesty, sin cerity and stability of purpose. Under these fortunate circumstances, the responsibilities of presidential year are awaltpd with strengthened enthu siasm and self-reliance, and will be as sumed with the determination newly to' vlndlcnte the league's claim to re spectful consideration as a valuable party auxiliary. The turn-down of Judge Mcfarty In convention is a circumstance that will doubtless turn up at the polls. Was It a Mistake? It will not be calculated to Inspire confidence In the New South that In South Carolina a. constitutional con vention should be called for the express purpose of depriving the negro of his right to vote. Yet atich a circumstance has occurred . within the week, . and unless unexepected obstacles In the way of a few. fair Court decisions shall intervene, this purpose will take Ita consummated place In that common wealth's organic law. . , . The1 (Mississippi plan ia the method proposed. Provision la made that the voter must have paid his taxes In the February - preceding vthe election. Among those taxes Is A uniform poll tax of $2, which must be paid before one can vote, . besides which : "every qualified elector shall be able 'to read any section of the constitution of this state, or ha ahall be able to understand tke Mine when read to bim, or" give a reasonable interpretation thereof." The effect of these provisions, with their execution left to prejudiced hands, can readily be Imagined. No negro will be likely to vote under them. whether qualified In other Yespects or not A curious feature of this affair Is the small excitement that it creates. Peo ple appear to take it as a matter of course, notwithstanding that thirty- four years ago many good lives and much treasure were expended in an effort, thought at the time to have been successful, to Insure to American citi zens their complete rights before the law. without regard to race, color or previous condition of servitude. Was tfiat attempt a mistake? It Is early yet to predict on preslden tlal nominees; and. In addition, the signs often seem to point in the "dark- horse" direction. How Cubans Suffer. An Influential Spaniard, Senor Kd- uardo Benot, speaking some years asto In the cortex upon the subject of Cuban Independence, uttered these striking word?: "How trilling and apparently Insufficient seem the causes which In duced the North American colonists to sever the bonds which held them to the mother country. If we compare thorn with those that have at last forced the Cubans Into the struggle which they are sustaining against the implacable tyranny of their hard stepmother, Ppnln." The same man afterward said, in the same forum: "Cuba Is groanlns under the scourge of arbitrary power. There Is no law, no rode, no constitu tion. The principles of modern law are trampled to the duct and the an cient laws are disregarded. Children nnt immolated: Judgment Is passed on the dead; the innocent suffer for the guilty; the only power Is brute force, the vile greed of bad officials and the Infamy pr pirates and slavers." This may seem Impnssioned rhetoric; but what are the facts? On the Island of Cuba there ore 1,600.000 people, one- third black. The debt of Cuba, forced upon It by Spain, Is $200,000,000, upon which there Is an annual Interest charge of $12,000,000. equivalent to $r.O for every white head of a family. In time of peace Cuba hns had to support a standing army costing $6,000,000 a year; a navy conting $3,000,000 and a civil service costing $5,000.0110 In name and twice that In fact. The taxation of Cubans, national and municipal, equals 70 per cent, of their Incomes, hut while the Incomes are decreasing" as a consequence of this continued Spanish rapacity, the taxation In creases. As a result of careful study of the Cuban problem, Walter Wellman Is led to say, without qualification or reser vation, that the history of Spanish rule In Cuba Is one of oppression, of rob bery, of corruption and cruelty In ad ministration of the government; of bad faith on tho part of the mother country toward the colony; of rapacity and savagery perhaps unequaled In the history of modern nations. Yet the United States of America, through Its department of state, helps to prolong Spain's buzzard sovereignty and threatens with pursuit and prosecution all Americans who are led, by sym pathy with Cuba's cry for help, to lend a hand against tyranny and oppres sion. How can the Harrlsburg Patriot con demn as insincere a platform which so aptly voices public sentiment that even If the (Republican politicians should try to get away from It, the peo ple would not let them? . Our Twenty-five Immortals. A Washington paper recently'lnvlted members of schools nnd literary so cieties to express by ballot their choice for the 25 living persons best fitted to represent the highest achievements in American literature, art and science. It publishes the result ns follows: 1. William Iean Unwell, novelist. 2. Thomas Ilailey Aldrlch, poet. 3. Thomas Nelpon luge, story writer. 1. KiigenM Field, poet. 5. Iw Wallace, romancer. fl. James Whltcnmli Ulley, poet. 7. Frank R. Stockton, humorist. 8. Mark Twain (Mr. Clemens), humorist. !. Sarah Ome Jewett. novelist. 10. fl. Weir Mitchell, physician. 11. ''hnilcs A, liana, journalist. 12. Henry Wntterson, journalist. 13. Kdwanl F.verett Hale, preacher. '11. John II. Vincent, bishop. IT,. William T. Harris, educator. 11. John Flske, historian. 17. John HiM-h McMimter, historian. 18. Ini'llev Ruck, composer. 19. John I'hllli) Snusa, bandmaster. M. Joseph Jefferson, actor. II. Thomas Mornn. artist. '.'2. F. Hopk Inarm Smith, artist. 2.1. Thomas A. Kdisnn, Inventor. 24. Alexander Ornham Well, Inventor; 2Ti. Alnsworth It. Spofford, librarian. This list obviously reflects local and sectional bias. For example, who but a Wsshlngtohlan would fix upon John Philip HiHisa and Alnsworth R. Spof ford ns worthies fit to rank among America's foremost 23? And who but southerners would view In Thomas Nel son Page and Henry Watterson men qualified to figure In a list tlit nmtts Bret Harte and Joseph Mertlll? Cer tain other peculiarities pree.it them selves in this list. For ir.stan'.!?, Ka gene Field, aa a poet, outranks James Whltcomb Riley, although it Is tho unanimous verdict of critics that Riley will be remembered with much t.t th reverence that today attaches to the memory of Burns generations after Field shall have been forgotten. Again, there in room for discussion aa to the right of Lew Wallace to a place at all, much less than fifth; while aa between Sarah )rne Jewett; the one woman represented, and Harriet Beecher Htowe, Rebecoa Harding Davis, Mary N. iMurfrce or (Mrs. Cruger, there la room for animated discussion. But the most noticeable feature of the list Is Its utter omission of repre sentatives of an art that today more directly and perooptlbly Influences life and manners than either poesy or fic tion the art of play writing.' Surely Joseph Jefferson la not more entitled to rank with the quarter-of-a-hundred Yankee Immortals for acting a play than is Augustln Daly, Bronson How ard, William Gillette or Henry De Mllle for writing one. And If we ahall meas ure art by Its results, that art which puts the moving currents of human emotion and the lights and ahadowa of human peculiarity on exhibition before the millions, not in dull type, but in real fleah and blood, ia quite aa thor oughly entitled to representation as Is the art of novel-writing or the art of versification. Upon the whole. It oc curs to ua that the foregoing list la In need of considerable revision. It Is a aadly effeminate kind of American statesmanship which hesi tates to help Cuba In her critical strug gle against gross oppression because It might displease the nabob court of Spain. What present rlffht has the Spanish flag in the territory of the new world that has not long been forfeited by chronic and characteristic misrule? It Is not u compliment to the efficiency of American municipal government that In a dozen of our chief cities there Is simultaneous complaint because of the utter Inadequacy of existing public school accommodations. Such a con dition Is a 'blistering disgrace to all re sponsible for It. The decision of the faculty of George town university not hereafter to permit students in that Institution to malm or murder each other by means of foot ball will reassure parents who desire well children instead of Insurance money. Getting down to cold facts, why should Harrison say anything when there's nothing to say? COMMENT OF THE PRESS. The Solvation Army. Washington l'ost: "A great many hon est and intelligent persons are unfavor ably Impressed by the Salvation Army. There Is something fantastic III the garb, the actions and the methods of the fol lowers of tliat especial sect. The Salva tionists are noisy, they employ uncouth music ami uru given to rude demonstra tion. Their manners huve not the repose that stumps the cast of Vere de Vere. Smug, overfed gentlemen, who olllclale In dainty surplices uud carefully avoid topics likely to displease their well-bred congre gations, do not approve of the Salvation ists tramping the streets, beating tam bourines, and thundering savage melodies out of tune. Aristocratic church-goers, modestly assured of a welcome up above and raihor averse than otherwise to Indis criminate crowding Inside the pearly Kates, condemn this vulgar rausucking of Ihe slums uud this hysterical seal over sinners of course imtecedents and plebeian associations, l'.ut the Salvation Army was not recruited to enter into rivalry with the well-paid rector and the luxur iously appointed temple. These devoted men and women address themselves to the neglected localities which the church does not reach, and to forlorn and friendless wretches whom well-dressed and well groomed Christians do not like to think about. They go into the reeking purlieus, where vice and crime and misery and degradation swarm. They are the scaven gers of Christian civilization, the. sani tary agents of society. They cannot wear beautiful white creations of laco and cam bric, or wave plump, manicured ringers, or murmur softly to the accompaniment of Inspired anthem strains. Where they work the odor of mllletleurs is unknown nnd the rules of etiquette a sealed book. They clothe themselves as seems best in view of the ends they wish to reach. They adopt such forms as are most likely to promote the cause. And their rude enthu slsusm, their homely fervor, and their fantastic bearing ure what the hard neces sities of the case have made them. Hut they are doing noble and useful work where It Is most sorely needed. They are not coddling established conviction or congratulating secure superiority. They are plunging Into the mire to save the lost, and braving peril, contumely, and brutal reviling that they may relieve the wretchedness of neglect and pain." The Advantages of tin-Operation. From a speech by A. B. Farquhar, the York manufacturer: "livery workman should have a proprietary Interest in the wealth of the country. There should be the wlilest diffusion of capital, especially in land.- Hut the only way to acquire capital Is to pave It. The government can not give It to you without first robbing some one else to get it. Co-operation Is the only true method, nnd every honest effort of workmen to put It In practice should he encouraged; and I for one thank God for every success scored, since It opens the way for thousands to pass from dependence ami penury to ireedom ami comfort. The vice of depending upon the nation or uKn some one else Instead cf one's self 1s too common. The nation has nothing whatever to do with the affairs of Its clt'zens further than to protect them from foreign Interference, to preserve or der, ami prevent one mnn from invading the rights of another. Private enterprise built up this country, felled Its forests, drained Its swamps, erected Its towns, ex cavated Its mines, dug Its canals, nnd made its roads, and Invented the innumer able labor-saving machines that have en abled tho poorest workman to live In more comfort today than the wealthy did a few hundred years ago." Ono Opinion Concerning Harrison. Chicago Times-Herald: "Indiana has (rood reason to admire General Harrison, for he will live in history as one of her best soldiers and brainiest statesmen, worthy of his Illustrious ancestry and nildlng new luster to his family name. His administration was clean, able and vigorous, and his life since he retired from the presidency has been such as to command the admiring approval of his fellow citizens without regard to partisan afllllatlons. There Is no good reason why his personal friends should not desire his re-election, and If he wants It there Is no good reason why he shrould not say so and come out and make an open and man ly effort to et It. Outside of Indiana, however, there are no trustworthy Indl cntlons of a demand for four years mora of Harrison." The Abused infinitive. A correspondent of the Critic makes the following grammatical criticism; "Is It too late to try to save the Infinitive mood In Its original simplicity? It Is only with in the lifetime of men of middle age thut It begnn Its disintegration, but year by year it shows changes made by wider and more varied wedges of misplaced words, and year by year we see new writers In fected with this tendency to disregard purity of form. There is no such verb as 'lo fully net lee, yet ono of the smoothest liens that have run on your pages for many a day writes In the review of Zang- nt'll'a 'The lnatsr fi .1 Jnlv fl KtQT.l 'It almost takes an artist to fully notice.' Some duy, some slovenly ylelder lo care less custom will write: 'Or tint them health and prosperity to long live.' " Yes. It Ts a Crime. Washington Post: "It Is worse than a mistake to leave the education of great masses of children uncared for." POLITICAL POINTS. Colonel Sam Boyd, of the Wllkes-Barre News-Dealer, Is the most independent Democratic editor In this section of the state. He calls a spade a spade, and Is as fearless as Charles A. Dana In de nouncing political humbuvs. even If tlier pose as Democrats. Ills Independence and fearlessness have mnue the News-Dealer a success, liut up to date Mr. lloyd's po litical prospects have suffered In conse quence of his frankness. Uut he does not lie awake nignts on thai account. It is said that President Cleveland wants to appoint a New York man to the vacancy on the supreme court bench, but cannot find a man whom Hill will not antagonize. Tho president's friends and Mr. Hill's friends do not train in the same company In New York. Jlornblower ts Mr. Cleveland's first choice, but Hill shows his teeth whenever the name of Ilornblower la mentioned. , Ex-Dlstrlct Attorney Garman. of I.ii. zerne, Is becoming a conspicuous figure In Pennsylvania Democratic politics. Hnr. rlty smiles upon him and whoever has his smiles Is bound to blossom Into promi nence. One of these days Mr. Carman will make a run for congress, but not until Hon. John Lelsennng has had his second innings. Tho Judge Magee, of Pittsburg, who la one of the Democratic candidates for judge of the Superior court, does not be long to the Chris Magee tribe, at least not politically, and he will get no as sistance from the handsome little states man who tackle. Quay periodically and usually loses nw scaip. Third-term Democrats ara beatimln rn multiply, and It begins to look aa If Graver Cleveland nlght really eaaa' mora become the candidate of Ms party for president. The truth Is that the Demo- 1 crane party does not today contain a man who Is as available as Cleveland, all inings considered. The Democratic New York World still refuses to believe that Senator Quay is a really good man. But. then, the. World always haa held a prejudice agulnst the rennsyivan:a Kepubllcan leaner, some day Colonel McClure. of the Philadelphia Times, should see Pulitzer and convince him of his error. Ex-Congressman Myers, the Democratic candidate for state treasurer, has evi dently been conciliated, and now ehouts for Harrlty. Myera was once struck by political lightning by being elected to congress, by a Republican district, but there will be no lightning around this year. No president since the days of Washing ton has taken life so easy and so per sistently neglects his official duties as does Mr. Cleveland. He remains away from the seat of s-overnment for months at time ami crforms not a single official duty, except by proxy.

To the Editor of The Tribune . Lackawanna is the only county In the state that has two candidates for judges of the Superior court. The nomination of Judgu Smith by the Democratic com on Hon at Wllliamspoi t opens up the possi bility or I.aiKuwaima having dual repre sentation on the bench of the new Supe rior court. One of the six Democratic nominees Is bound to be elected. The only question Is which one will secure the most votes. If Judue Smith should be the man then Lackawanna will huve two of Ihe judges. The fact must lie borne In mind that the election of the one Iieinocr.it does not Involve the defeat of either of tho six Republican candidates. The Idea seems to prevail among a certain cius-t thut the cundlducy rtf Judge Smith Is In some way inimical to Judge YVillurd. Nothing could be further from the facts in the case. A moment's reflection will con vince till such thut the nomination of Judge Smith by the Democrats simply makes possible the election of two of Ihe judges from Lackawanna county, and there certainly can be no good reason why uny Lackawanna man, be he Kepubllcan or Democrat, should object to such a re sult of the election. Judge Smith's chances are fully us good as those of either of his colleagues. Ills own county Is more populous than thut of either of his associates on the ticket, and hu hus the nddltonul advantage of much greater strength than his colleagues In the popu lous county of Luzerne, There Is no sensible reason why the candidacy of Judge Smith should divert a single vote from Judge Wlllard. Every elector will , vole for six candidates for judge of the Superior court, und the seven receiving the largest number of votes will be elected. Of tho twelve candidates of the two leading parties, therefore, seven will be electeii and live defeated. No one for a moment doubts that the six Kepub llcan nominees will win. The only ques tion, then, Is which one of the six Demo cratic candidates will poll the most votes. The Democrats have placed three of their candidates In the western part of tho state, vis: ono In Allegheny, one In Westmoreland and one In Warren. Ka -h of these will doubtless run ahead of his colleugue In his own section. Judge Smith s friends have all the northeastern section of the state in which to give him the lead, and It will be strange If they do not fully Improve their manifest advan tage. Even a hasty glance over the field will convince any Intelligent observer that Judge Smith's election Is not only possible, but highly probable. Should he win three of the seven judges will he bunched In the two adjoining counties or iacgawanna nnd Luzerne, and with Judge Reeder, of Northampton, a maority of the court will be located In the northeastern part of thee state. Geo graphically considered this Is not perhaps a wise distribution of the Judge, but the question of residential location Is, after all, of infinitely less Importance than Is the personal nnd judicial fitness of the men constituting the court. Assuming that the election of the six Republican candidates Is assured beyond any possibility of doubt, why should not Judge Smith receive the voles of many Republicans In Lackawanna and adjoin ing counties, and Judges Wlllnrd and Rice receive the votes of many Democrats In return? One of the seven Judges must of necessity be a Democrat. Jt Is only rea sonable to assume that the Republicans In this sect'on prefer .Indue Smith to either of his colleague fnrithc minority member of the court. If they do they well know how to make that preference effective. This they can do without diverting n s'n rle vote from Jnt'iie Wlllnrd or Judge Rice, and without Imperiling the success of either of the other Republican nomi nees. To a few Rrmiblleans such n proposition mny snvnr of nolltleal unorthodoxy. but It Is nothlntr of the sort; on the contrary it is polltic-iil good sense. J. D. L. Making It Clear.
