their iluly chosen representatives, will

An Incredible Supposition.
In marked contrast with the attempt
of the Democratic minority In congress
to delay the enactment of bills for the
relief of the revenues and the currency
Is the Republican majority's prompt
ness in insisting that there shall be no
delay. The Intimation In Washington
dispatches that thp president Is behind
the minority's attitude, because of the
fact that he neither wishes to sign a
protective tariff measure nor cares at
this time, to run the political risk of
, refusing to approve bills which his own
messagii proves to be necessary, .is
probably Incorrect. Such an inslnua-
' tlon Is equivalent to asserting that the
president s whole course with reference
to the Venezuelan discussion has been
dictated not by patriotic but by politi
cal motives.- Could such a statement
. be proved to be true of Mr. Cleveland,
It would be sufficient to condemn him
to universal obloquy as the first Ameri
can executive who had utilized his
country's foreign policy to further only
personal and partisan ends.
v t)esplte all Mr. Cleveland's past faults
we prefer to believe him Incapable of
that. Those faults hitherto have been
the faults of a, strong-willed man led
through' prejudices to false but doubt-
less sincere conclusions. Inaccessible
1 to the influence called public opinion,
he has nevertheless permitted his judg
ment, at times, to be swayed by Inter
ested members of the select circle of his
trusted personal friends;, and In this
' way we account for most of his official
mistakes. Hud he trusted the plain
1 people more and tho scheming net of
New York bankers, brokers, lawyers
ond promoters which has long guided
his policy as president less, there would
' have been no such stain nrf the Ha-
. walian policy of infamy on the record
r,f uta inaimiml nt forelirn affairs, and
no Wilson bill, with Its long train of
costly disasters, to mar the retrospect
.of his domestic policy. That he has
In this respect erred greatly cannot be
denied; and the stubbornness of his
persistence In discovered mistakes Is
.also a fact of record."
flut that any man occupying the
position of president of the United
States and possessing enough Intellect
' to approximate to a correct realization
of the powers, the responsibilities and
. the importance of that high office could
in the knowledge of these things de
. llberately stoop to a policy of Insincere
i jingoism after the fashion of the dema
' gogue on the stump is to our mind in
conceivable, Only one of all our presi
dents was intrinsically mean enough
to descend so low, and lie became presi
dent because of a fatality and, before
he got through, was almost impeached.
"We therefore decline to. believe that
Orover Cleveland Is at present playing
simply the artful politician or that he
will fall to meet the congress half way
In the matter of approving emergency
legislation obviously necessary for the
welfare of the whole country.
Miss Canada nhohld not get too saucy
with her Runs, her gunboats and her

' , i I. e
: ',1 Abuse of the Streets.
' (Trie of -the things which requires a
closer degree of attention from the mu
nicipal authorities than it has hitherto
received is the practice of "scorching"
' in the streets. The majority of wheel
men trefienslble and law-abiding In
their use of the publlo thoroughfares,
but this fact only throws Into sharper
relief the carelessness of the few who
seem to think: that pedestrians have
no rights which a man on a bicycle Is
under obligation to respect.
Twice1 within a fortnight a " certain
gentlemen In this city has, to our knowl
edge, come almost within an Inch of be
lng run down and pet-haps killed by
wltealmen coasting at fall speed -down
the steep grade on Madison avenue be.
tween Vine and Mulberry streets. Ills
experience doubtless has happened to
others. The Erade on this brick pave
ment la such that no brake In the world
could be successfully applied to a wheel
when once g-oing at full momentum.
Nor can the unpraettcedeye of the aver
age pedestrian ftaugo the unocd of iueli
a rldor with FUffli'li-nt nrturaoy to In
sure bin safely while attempting to
cross jiver lefore the wheelman. The
coasting bicycle in the hands of the
"scorcher" rarely gives warning of Its
approach; and so silent is Its progress
that the most alert are often taken
unawares.
It Is our recollection thnt an ordin
ance, passed In this city three years or
so ngo, limited the upeed of wheelmen
In tho city to ten miles nn hour. The
speed of the Madison avenue "scorch
ers" Is nt the rate of from twenty-five
to thirty-five miles an hour, and It
should not be tolerated. The same
treatment should be accorded to these
reckless riders that was given to a
would-be scorcher in liuffalo the other
day. He was chased twelve miles by
a pollcemnn on a wheel, and when cap
tured was fined $."0.
The abuse of the streets by wheelmen
und by many of the cars of the Scran
ton Traction company in this item of
unreasonable! speed stands In urgent
need of correction. It Is time there
was a demonstration that pedestrians,
too. have rights which the law will safe
guard and protect.
The fatal mistake of the Spanish
army in Cuba was in ever attempting
more than (Tress parades.
It will have to be acknowledged that
the czar, after all, has his good points.
Russia vs. the Rothschilds.
There Is a good deal of wisdom In the
suggestion that If this government has
to do any more bond-selling to foreign
ers. It should deal with the Russian gov
ernment, which Is reported to have of
fered to loan us $400,000,000 In gold with
out interest, instead of with the Roths
childs. The disadvantages of having
the financial policy of the United States
controlled by money-lenders in London,
Frankfort and Rerlin, who also domi
nate the governments of Kngland and
Germany, our principal trade rivals and
political enemies, and whose Interest In
America is poMv that nf the usurer
v.l'e;. he iK-rcives a cl.a.,. c tt drive a
lie.: p lomain, me ini'.iiy and in nilV?t.
Thai the l!oi hsclillili'. b.i" treacherous
Is shown in the manner in which they
last week tried to discredit our securi
ties abroad and precipitate nn Ameri
can panic; that they are avaricious
goes without saying; and that they are
relentless and utterly sordid Is a fact
in history. The relations of this gov
ernment with the Rothschilds have In
the past been sufficiently humiliating
to suggest their discontinuance. A pro
longation of themvhen the opportunity
is open for n discontinuance would be
almost Idiotic.
On the other hand, even though It be
conceded that the offer of Russia, Is
to this degree selfflsh that It Is a stroke
In Russia's continuous diplomatic riv
alry with Kngland, yet there Is every
reason to expect fair treatment from
Russia as a creditor, and that is all we
ought to expect. The friendliness of
educated Russians for America and
Americans Is a well established fact,
different though their respective forms
of government may be. It will be re
membered what powerful aid Russia
rendered us during the civil war at a
time when Oreat Britain was on the
verge of offering open support to the
Southern Confederacy. And with the
United States brought Into such a rela
tionship toward Russia that It would
be to the latter's interests to espouse
our side In the possible event of a con
flict with Great Britain, the very pos
sibility of such a conflict would be
made a hundred fold more remote
through the noberlng influence that,
such a powerful alliance would exert
upon English public sentiment. It is
of course to be hoped that no more
American bonds will be sold by this
government to foreigners. Our bonds
ought to be taken by our own citizens
In the form of popular loans; and the
revenues should be such that In time of
peace bond issues would be unneces
sary. Yet if at this particular time a
foreign loan shall be deemed Indispens
able, the place in which to borrow It is
St. Petersburg not London.
It Is good to know that the people of
Venezuela appreciate what this gov
rrnment has done for them. Our mo
tive may be somewhat selfish, but they
nevertheless get their bacon saved for
nothing.
One Intelligent Observer.
It Is a pleasure to And one eminent
European who possesses the discretion
to look fairly at the facts In the present
controversy between this country and
Great Hrltaln. Professor Rudolf Cro
neau, a distinguished German geo
grapher and historian. Is in Washing
ton representing the Cologne Gazette,
and In a recent conversation with Mr.
William E. Curtis of the Chicago Rec
ord, presented several interesting views.
After declaring that Europeans as a
rule do not understand the Monroe
doctrine but Instead have the erroneous
Idea that It demands the utter isolation
of the American hemisphere, commer
cially as well as politically, he says:.
"If the true meaning of the doctrine
would go so far I would consider the
document unjust, impudent and ex
tremely selfish. But the ' Monroe doc
trine does not go so far. It only forbids
European powers to Interfere In strict
ly American questions, and tries to
make occasions of such Interference
less frequent. In this way I cannot
find that the Monroe doctrine is un
natural. Imagine what the jealous pow
ers of Europe would do if the United
States were to "meddle In European
questions. What would they do if the
United States were to obtain a foothold
In some part of Europe with the clear
understanding of taking; a hand In Eu
ropean politics? What would they say
If, for Instance, Uncle Ham would buy
from the porte her European posses
sions, - Constantinople and- the Boa
phorous? Europe would most certainly
say that such act would disturb the
European balance, and would Invent
very quickly some sort of Monroe doc
trine and enforce It in the same vigor
ous way as the Americans propose,",
- Professor' Croneau directs attention
to thej spirit of independence which 4s
rife in Australia, especially In the Brit
ish possessions of Tasmania and New
Zealand, and also in South Africa,
where there already Is a strong popu
lar feeling among the colonists in favor
of separation from the British empire;
and ho adds: "I believe that under the
law of concentration and the force of
necessity the n-xt century will see not
only a consolidated and united America,
but also a united Australia and. per
haps. Afrlcn. You will see, therefore,
that I regard the Monroe doctrine as a
natural manifestation thnt hud to come
sooner or later. That the Americans
try to enforce It does not astonish me
more than that Europeans are unwill
ing to acknowledge It. The end of the
struggle will be, I believe, thnt Europe
cannot do more than accept the situa
tion as It Is."
As for the chances of a war between
England and the United States the pro
fessor thinks there are none. "Kng
land," he says, "will be wise and back
down, because rhe cannot risk a war
with the United Slates. As soon as war
were declared England would have its
hands full everywhere. Her enemies
would rise In America, In Europe, in
Africa and Asia; her fleet would be
engaged all over the world, and Eng
land could not bring up soldiers enough
to defend herself and her colonies. If
England were not powerful enough to
vanquish the poorly peopled United
States in the revolutionary war and In
1812 how can she expect to be victorious
over a eople of 70.000.OiXl, who can raise
In time of war If needed from 8,000.000
to 10,000,000 soldiers all devoted to their
country? Where could England find
soldiers enough, since the days have
passed when she could buy them from
German princes? So far as 1 know the
spirit of the American people they will
defend their country to the lust drop
of Mood and convert every yacht and
every schooner Into a vessel of war, as
they did a hundred years ago. I think
England knows too well the risk of such
a fearful war, which might, perhaps,
result In her whole destruction. Eng
land is too smart to commit suicide,
and, therefore, I do not believe there
will be war."

A caulnet utttcer Is responsible for tne
Ktuteinenl Ihut no such olfer wus made to
this government. Two years agu Kuasht
uttered to loan the I'nltt-d S lutes some
thliiK like tyJ.(X),iiU! lor a snort period
only buyable on deniund. There was a
sellish motive behind Che offer, and Pres
ident Cleveland promptly declined it upon
tile Kround that It would nut be Hood policy
to borrow money from a foreign power in
time of peace.
The rumor had the desired effect upon
the htock market, and Ainericun seouritL-s
advanced several points yesterday on the
streiiKth of it. President Cleveland would
not accept any offer of this kind If It were
made. In good faith. His policy Is to raise
money by issuing oond, to be sold in open
murket.
It Is believed that President Cleveland
will veto the revenue bill which was
rushed through the house In tlVe hours
yesturduy. It Is also believed that Die
senate will not agree to the measure in the
form in which It passed the Iioubb,
II II II
The president has shown good judgment
In his two selections for the Venesuelau
boundary commission. Both of the gentle
men chosen have served this government
as ministers to Qreut Britain, and both
are held in the highest esteem by the
Kngllsh people. Mr. Lincoln is the son
of the late President Lincoln, and is a Re-
fiublican. .Mr. Phelps is a Democrat, and
s regarded as one of the cleverest diplo
mats in this country. The third member
of the commission will In all probability
lie one of the republican justices of the
I'nlted States Supreme court very likely
Mr. Justice Hrewer. President Cleveland,
In selecting two Republicans and one Dem
ocrat, will show that he does not intend
to allow politics to enter Into the ques
tion. He will display good political judg
ment in thus keeping such an Important
affair out of pull tics. If the outcome of
the commission is satisfactory to the Unit
ed Scales the president will gut tho credit
for it und if it Is a failure the blame can
be put upon the commission. It Is a case
of "heads I win and tails you lose."

The house broke all records yesterdsv.
For the llrst time In the history of congress
a revenue bill paased the lower branch In
Juat five hours from the time It was report
ed from the committee on ways and means.
It was railroaded through In double-qul.:k
time. The Democrats naturally set up a
howl, but, with whip and spur, Hpeakcr
Reed and his rules sent the bill through
a whoopln'. Crisp and McMillcn predicted
that all storts of things would happen If
the measure was rushed through without
lengthy debate, hut it passed just the same
by an overwhelming vote. What the sen
ate will do with the bill Is uncertain. It
will very likely amend so that Its authors
will not be able to recognise It or talk
It to death unless the rules of the senate
are changd. The latter course will hardly
he taken as a change In the rules would
mean cloture and neither parly wants
thut very badly. That question was con
sidered during the extra sesison of the last
congress, and the more it was discussed
the less all parties thought of it.

Congressman Helner, of the Twenty
first Pennsylvania district, will have a
hot fight on his hands when he comes up
for renomination. He already feels the
rumbling throughout his district, and Is
getting ready to step aside. Hut he has
had a taste of official life and he likes It
so well that he hates to let go. He Is
already laying his pipes for Conaressman-at-large
Huff's shoes. He Is cheek by
jowl with Quay and Is coddling up pretty
close to the old man these days. Huff
It will be remembered, got on the wrong
side of the fence In the late stat chair
manship light, and therefore is persona
non gruta with the Quayitei. Colonel
Huff, however, doesn t propose to be side
tracked If he can helo It. He will be a
candidate for renomination for congress-man-at-iargc.
but he doesn't propose to
lick any man's boots to get It. If he can
not secure the renomination without for
feiting his manhood he doesn't want It.
Colonel Huff is popular In the state, and
he has plenty of friends who will stand by
him when the time comes. He may yet be
governor before J. A. Scranton.
II II II
It Is said that Senator Quay has already
picked out his candidate for governor
in 18!I3. His name is Colonel William Al
exis Stone, member of congress from the
Twenty-third (Allegheny) district. Colo
nel Stone is a native of Tioga county, but
removed to Pittsburg Outing President
Arthur's administration to be United
States district attorney. He was then a
poor, struggling lawyer, but possessed of
a good deal of hard business sense. He
soon became a member of the Allegheny
City ring; was made attorney for the vari
ous street railways of Pittsburg's big
suburb, and Ih now a large stockholder
In the consolidated companies. Colonel
Stone was first nominated for congress
In 1890 under rather peiniliar circum
stances. The late Colonel Tom Tlnyne
had represented the Allegheny district for
many years. In that year he had a hard
fight to be renominated. His opponent was
George Shims III. son of Justice Shiras,
of the I'nlted States Supreme colirt.
Hayne was nominated by a very narrow
margin. The result of the final ballot
had scarcely been announced when he
mounted the platform In the convention,
declined to accept the nomination ami
lra,matlcaUv 'nominated Ctolnnel Stone,
then en unknown quantity In national pol
itics. Bnyne's action caused great con
sternation and nearly resulted In a stam
pede to Shiras. Rut he managed to whip
his friends Into Una and Colonel Stone
was nomlnnted.
Colonel Tom Bayne was Quay's lieuten
ant In Allegheny county. Colonel Btine
not only took his nlace In congress, hut
stetvoed into Ms shoes as the champion
of Quay as well, and has been a blind fol
lower of the senator ever since.
A year or two later Colonel Pavne, who
had taken up a permanent residence In
Washing-ten, committed suicide by shoot
Ire hlmse".
Colonel Stone, with th exeeotlrm of the
extremely hot months. Irves-in Washing
ton, He owns a handsome residence on
Q street, in the fashionable northwest sec
tion of the city. It Is said that he Intends
selling his property hi Allegheny and
Inking up a pirmaiient residence in Wash
ington, it he U ruing to be a cuniiidute
fcr governor he is making a bail move.
Many a good mun has been put on the
political fhclf for forsaking Ma old home
und neighbors and luklnK up a permanent
residence hero. But Colonel Btone knows

the ipatrlotln devotion to the public Inter

a Democratic president out of the hole
into which his party has plunged him and
his Hdmliilstratl.ui. TheAmerican people
will not soon forget such devotion.
A prominent Republican politician, re-cer.-My

the same man for Cameron's successor. If
that prediction rhonld be verified the bat
