If he be guilty, publicity would be his worst punishment; If Innocent, his best vindication. It is always a suspicious circumstance when trials of public of ficials are conducted on the star-chamber basis. As to General Harrison. Because ex-Preslilent Harrison Is ex pected this week to visit Washington, Triiere he Is to argue a lesral case before the Supreme court, numerous gossips have It that his real mission Is to In trigue for a renomlnatlon. This view of the subject is little less than Insulting. If General Harrison shall next year be chosen as the standard-bearer of his party, It will not be because he has solicited the honor or has worked se cret wires to secure It, but because the conservative Judgment of the massos of his party, overruling the personal attitude of politicians now hostile to the ex-president, shall demand his nomina tion as the one safe and wise outcome of the convention's deliberations. It Is of moment In this connection that there is hardly any contemporary dis cussion of convention possibilities which omfts the name of Benjamin Harrison. The eminent Indianlan has evidently impressed his personality upon the minds of the people very much as Grover Cleveland did In the days preceding 1S92, when, although the lead ing Democratic politicians were hostile almost to a man,' he was chosen as the nominee of his party by more than a two-thirds votedespite even the adverse solidity of. the delegation from his own state. This historic contingency may not be repeated next year, with Gen eral Harrison substituted as the bene ficiary; but tt Is not without Interest as a guide to present conjectures touch ing the Republican convention's work. Closely analyzed, it will be found that mo3t. If not all, the exvressed oppo sition to General Harrison among Re publicans dates back to personal dis appointment arising from the placing of patronage. Upon broad grounds of em inent fltnrss there Is nothing whatever to bo sarld. General Harrison, patron age apart, made almost an Ideal exe cutive. He was firm, liberal, patriotic; his grasp of puMic iroues betokened mental breadth and high Ideals of pub lic duty; and his speeches and ntate papers rank among the very best In our history. Among all the leaders of his party today he stands easily first; nor Is U likely that his priority will be se riously questioned by the future. There may be reasons next year why his nom ination would be impolitic; but at this time It Is decidedly premature to con clude that he Is no longer to be con sidered In forecasts of the probable re sult. It Is to the credit of even the "cuckoo" press that It cannot work up a feeling of sycophancy sufficient -to Inspire It to applaud Attorney General Harmon's gratuitous Impertinence about the ex ercise of free speech In th.h country in sympathy with Cuba. The War on the Mormons. Thepubllecensurlng by the three head officials of the (Mormon church of two candidate on the Democratic ticket in Utah, because they had not obtained the church's sanction of their candi dacy, lias very quickly aroused the Gentile population of Utah to a reali sation of the dangers of statehood when coupled with ecclesiastical dictation. Th proceeding is entirely natural, and In keeping with the1 Mormon church's past policy and traditions. The Utah of today is in large Yneasure creation of that hiirch; and It Is hardly to be ex pected (hat a sway which, oily a little while ago, was absolute In affairs tem poral no less than spiritual, would be utterly relaxed in a few months. A the same time it Is readily con ceivable now distasteful to the Gentile element in Utah would be the effort of this hierarchy to interfere openly with the personnel and policy of the ex pected state government' - 'While It ' fairly deserves to be said that Presi dent Woodruff and his two counselors, George Q. Cannon and Joseph F. Smith, have advanced good reasons tor their expression of censure upon Candidates Moses Thatcher and B. H. Roberts, who, It ems, are under the pay of the church and who therefore owe to It their time.consequently not being free without its permission to occupy civil office, the effect of such expression is bound to be the same upon the preju diced GeDtUe mind as if the so-called In terference were inexcusable and gratui tous. The old warfare will re-kindle, and In the end Mormonlsm will be de feated. We must, by the way, confess to a fetllng of high admiration for the Mor mou people as a whole. Their tenet of polygamy, even they now concede, was morally wrong, although at the moment of Its promulgation a social necessity to the splendid scheme of empire formu lated in the brain of Brlgham Young. In no other way could the handful of colonists who founded the new Eden have built up In the same length of time a community equal to 'tho labors per formed by the Mormons In Utah. But this apart, they are a strong, vigorous, brave and determined race, heroic in coinixsltlon yet cultured to a high de gree, and In the main morally superior to the majority of their critics. It is unfortunate that In a lund of religious tolerance they should be forced, In self defense, to maintain a clannlshness which they would be broad enough to surrender If let alone. A ruling of considerable Interest was made last Tuesday by Judge Kennedy, of I'lttsburg, who held that berore a secret society of aliens could receive a charter It must agree In writing to keep Its minutes, books and reports in the English language, and therefore intelligible to all persons authorized to insiiect them. The ruling, although un usual, seems entirely proper. Kngllsh Is the legal language of the lanu. ah legal documents, therefore, should be in Kngllsh. A Cold Blooded Administration. Patriotic and liberty-loving Ameri cans are compelled to conclude that there Is not a particle of the genuine spirit of Americanism In the Cleveland administration. What could grate more harshly on the average freedom-living citizen of this republic than the recent deliverance of Attorney General Har mon In which he says that "inasmuch as we are at peace with Spain and have a treaty with her. It behooves all American citizens who have respect for the laws and obligations of their coun try and regard for its honor, to be neutral in word as well as in deed." This Attorney General Harmon wrote In reply to an Inquiry whether It would be lawful for Americans to meet and express sympathy for the brave patriots In Cuba who have struggled so long and so valiantly for Independence from Spanish tyranny. Attorney General Harmon could not advise that it would be unlawful for Americans to meet and express sympa thy for a struggling people, but the cold-blood, un-American spirit of the Cleveland administration Is clearly manifested In Mr. Harmon's depreca tory declaration. Astounding and hu miliating as this deliverance is. It should occasion no surprise, for Is not this the same administration that made the attempt to overthrow the newly established republic of Hawaii and re store the rotten native monarchy of Lilluokalanl? Mr. Harmon talks about our obliga tions with Spain, as though the provi sions and stipulations of a treaty with a foreign power ought to dull the In nate love of political liberty that abounds In every true American heart, and crush out even the sympathy Americans naturally feel for any and every people the world over who seek to attain the same measure of liberty and Independence we enjoy, and for which patriotic Americans have been arrd still are willing to fight, and if necepsary, die. Such a declaration as that made by this representative of the present un-American administra tion strikes a chill to every fervid, liberty-loving American heart. In this, as In everything else, the Cleveland administration Is entirely out ot accord wi'th the people of this re public. The people do and will continue to sympathise with tflie Cuban patriots, n J there la no reason why they should not fully, clearly and emphatically ex press that sympathy. They would not be true to themselves If they did less. The struggling Cubans deserve more than sympathy, they should be accord ed the rights of belligerents by our government, and we shall not be sur prised If, when the new Republican con gress meets next 'December, a move ment in that direction Is Inaugurated. A cold-blooded, unpatriotic administra tion at Washington cannot crush ut the natural love of liberty In the hearts of the American people. When the peo ple of Ireland chafe for Independence we sympathize with them, and not only express that sympathy In words, but aid them In every way we can. When the people of Cuba engage In a struggle to throw off the tyrannical power of Spain we sympathize with them. When the oppressed people of far-off Hawaii threw oft the oppressive native mon archy the people of the United States sympathized with them and a patriotic American minister (then under the Harrison adminlBtratlon)asslsted them. When the present Democratic adminis tration came Into power one of its first acts was an attempt to restore the fallen monarchy and to degrade and humiliate the patriotic . minister, tMr. Stevens. The American people are -chafing for the time to come when this disgraced, un-American Democratic administra tion can be turned out of power and be succeeded by one whose policy and acts will be In accord with the spirit of lib erty and Independence that pervades the masses of the republic. Happily, that time 4s approaching. With a Mo Klnley, a Reed, a Harrison or an Alli son at the head of the administration at 'Washington there will be the true spirit of .Americanism In the govern ment as well as In the people of. this great republic. Walter Wellman assures the Chicago Times-Herald that "unless Don Dickin son is mistaken, and he rarely Is when it comes to paralleling (Mr. Cleveland's thoughts, the president is a CIsclple of the new American polloy of oversea ac quisition, of tearing down the walls of tradition which have circumscribed us, and of going out for territory and for trade. If this la a correct dlagonshi of the president's views, If be Is to become a leader of the new American Idea which, without question, has taken Arm hold of the people, the announcement is one of the most important made In this country In a long time." As a mat ter ot fact, it probably is not within a dozen leagues of the truth. But if It were, iU would e a case of "too late repented." Deathbed penitence rarely succeeds. In politics. Andrew Carnegie intimates that if he were a judge or juryman he would bo tempted to stretch the law In favor of the man who should go out with an axe, some dark night, and demolish half of the big board advertisements that de face the pretty surface of mother earth In many directions. The Iron king ut ters a solemn truth, confirmed by long experience, wthen he eays that the only really beneficial kind of advertising these days Is In the columns of reputa ble newspapers and periodicals. The latest argument advanced In New York by advocates of Sunday desecra tion is that since three-fifths of the peo ple of the state live in the large cities, the residents of those cities should be left free to regulate the liquor traffic to suit themselves. On the same prin ciple they could also ask to vote upon the question whether theft should be taken from the category of crimes. The t.tory In another column that President Cleveland himself read and approved in advance the Bpeech wherein Don M. Dickinson, several months ago, severely arraigned the lukewarmneas of the administration's foreign policy, which was then ostensibly In charge of Secretary Grecham, will need a good deal of corroboration before It can be believed. - Attorney General Hendrlck, of Ken tucky, predicts that the Democrats will win In that state by 25,000 majority. If they're as sure as that, why are they so unconscionably scared? WAS CLEVELAND FALSE? From the Chicago Times-Herald. It will be remembered that not many months before Beeretary Gresham broke down, not to recover, Don M. Dickinson, member of the president's cabinet during his tirst administration, and always re puted to bo his closest personal friend in politics, delivered a speech, In which, In effect, he savagely uttacked the foreign policy of the state department. His call for a more vigorous conduct of Interna tional questions was so loud, so well for tified and so wide in Its scope that it com pelled general attention. Hy some It was accepted as an indication that a large sec tion of tho president's party were weary of tho bungllna; at Hawaii and of failure on the part of the administration to up hold, morally and physically, the fair name and real strength of this country. Once more Mr. Dickinson has appeared as the apparent critic of the administra tion. He wants a more dlrecct and effect ual course In relation to Cuba. What gives the Cuban ideas of Mr. Dickinson gravity Is Mr. Dickinson's explanation of the real motive ot his assault on the state department while Secretary Gresham was at its head. Mr. Dickinson, according to William E. Curtis, delivered that speech with the president's knowledge and ap proval. That is to say, Grover Cleveland, president of the United States, entered Into an Intrigue with a man of his own party but not in his cabinet to assail in public a man who was in his cabinet, his own subordinate, Walter Q. Qresham. It Is scarcely possible; that Mr. Dickin son realizes the bareness of the position In which his assertion places President Cleveland. It was In 'his power at any time to ask for Mr. Gresham's resigna tion. Was he afraid to do so? In personal and political cowardice did he condescend to conspire against the peace and honor of one of his own official family? If Sec retary Oresham knew of the Intrigue against him, with the president, his chief, as its Inspirer, it Is not strange that, har ried by conirresa, mocked for the miser able blundering at Honolulu, surrounded by associates alt political, and many of them personal strangers to him, he sick ened and died. Otllclal mortality of Mr. Cleveland's cabinets has been painfully striking. Mr. Dickinson himself having had one term of Intimate official connec tion with the strong personality In the white house, could not be persuaded to have a second. Since, according to Mr. Dickinson, the assault on Gresham's management of tho state department was with the president's knowledge and approval. Secretary Olney may well be pardoned for raising his eye brows when he reads Mr. Dickinson's opinions about the duty of the United States to Cuba. It is a suggestive coin cidence that, Just when Mr. Dickinson's voice calls for help for Cuba, it Is given out that Mr. Cleveland end Secretary Ol ney are about to take some step in recog nition of universal American opinion on the subject. For President Cleveland's sake, It may well be hoped thot Mr. Dick inson will modify his anparent accusation of treanhery by Mr. Cleveland to Wnlter O. Gresham, who sacrificed all his ambi tion for Mr. Cleveland's benefit. CARNEGIE ON CUBA. Interview In Pittsburg Commercial. "I think it Intolerable that Spain should continue to exercise dominion over any part ot this continent. The western hemi sphere belongs to America. If I were President Cleveland, as the beat friend of Spain, I would suggest to the Spanish minister what Secretary Seward suggest ed to the French minister. This was when Napoleon was trying to seat Maximilian upon a throne In Mexico. After tho war he asked the French minister to come and see him, and put to him this question: 'Don't you thing that Mexico Is a pretty good couhtry for Frenchmen to migrate from?" And Napoleon took the hint. Sew ard was a good friend of France In do ing this. So would President Cleveland be the best friend of Spain If he followed Seward's example." COMMENT OF THE PRESS. Tho Social Evil. Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette: "Whllo It would be absurd to contend that the so cial evil can be wholly got ton rid of by the enforcement of existing laws, any more than can gambling, drunkenness, larceny, and other Illegal practices, yet the lesson taught by New York city, since the power of Tammany has been broken, Is that these evils can be suppressed In large measure by an honest enforcement of the laws, while the practice of regulating them tends to Increase tho nuisances and leads to the general demoralization of the police force. The only legal method of dealing with these places it to suppress them. Tho taw declares them public nuis ances, and the faithful officer has no al ternative except to live up to the require ment of bis official oath. It Is not his pre rogative to say that this or that law Is Impracticable of enforcement, and that society will be 'benefited by disregarding It. Such arbitrary and Illegal ruling has been the proline source of blackmail, bribery and outrageous discriminations against Individuals, to say nothing of the fearful Increase of the social evil by giv ing It official countenance and protection. The question Is not whether the laws lis they exist are adequate to the total erad ication of the crime of prostitution. No one contends that they are. Neither are the laws sufficient to prevent other crimes which Inhere In depraved human nature. Itut such laws as we have were made to be enforced, and those charged with their execution cannot eet them aside as worth less or obsolete without incurring the guilt of moral perjury." On the Wrong Side. St. Louis Globe-Democrat: "The Brit ish revenues are In unusually fine shape, having Increased considerably In tha last six months. The promiaed clover of the Cleveland administration appears to have sprouted on the wrong side of the At lantic." It Is flerloas Business.' Washington Star: "The disposition to regard reform as a fad In New York Is receiving less and less encouragement." Ignore the Chief Obstante. Pittsburg Commerelol-Gaiattet "Presi dent Cleveland's friends, In assigning rea sons why he doesn't want to be president again. Ignore the over-mastering reaeon that the people stand as an Insurmount able obstacle In his way." No Danger of a Third Terra. St. Louie Globe-Democrat: "There haa never been the least probability of any man being nominated for a third term of the presidency since Grant was denied that honor, ami all talk to the contrary is fudge and rubbish." Time for Uim to Repent. Washington Star: "Unless the sultan of Turkey makea arrangements to with draw from the game he Is In dunger of feeling a good deal like the center-rush In a foot ball eleven."
