One of these fine morning, unless
En gland has a care, the world will
awaken to read with Its coffee at break
fast of the establishment of a new re-J.ubllc-the
United HtatfM of South
Africa. That saim? Cecil Khodes Is a
man not to be trilled with.
Democracy's Last Card.
The latest political Rosslp from
Washington, on the Democratic side, Is
ti the effect that President Cleveland
la withholding executive Intervention
between Spain and Cuba until shortly
before the Democratic national conven
tion, when he will play for high stnkes
by an earnest appeal to the overwhelming-
sentiment of sympathy In this coun
trv for the Cuban cause. In case he
shall decide not to be a candidate for
renotnluation, the administration man
tip -will be transferred to Olney or Car
lisle, and the presidential battle will be
waged with Cleveland doing his level
best to rally all the Jingoes to the Dein
oeraev's standard.

This story lias enougn eiemenis m
plausibility to be accepted as approxi
mately true. We do not think that Mr.
Cleveland would be above playing1 to
the eallerlea. The man who could ed
die patronage as he peddled It when
making the light a year and a half ago
.. vtnntil nf th Sherman net: who
could throw the whole power of 'the
presidential office, postoftlces, district
attorneyships, collectorshlpa and all,
Into the scales In a contest of the execu
tlvo against the co-ordinate legislative
branch of the government, as Cleveland
has done on more than one occasion,
need by no means be regarded ns too
pure a patriot or too lofty a partlan to
turn foreign pyrotechnics to political
account. We are aware there Is an lm
nresslon among many peoplo that Mr.
Cleveland Is a cherubic Innocent In
1 ties, who Is daily saved from po
lltU ul annihilation only by virtue of an
unbondlne. iron will, and a blunt hon
esty which by its sheer momentum
sweeps opposition before It. let we
resrnrd this Cleveland art an Ideal crea
ture, existing chiefly In the people's
tickled imagination, whereas the real
drover, as Henry Watterson says. Is a
man who knows the game of politics
HIca tha rambler knows his cards, and
whan in a tight place doesn't hesitate
.to make bold and daring plays that
fcowever unlike politics they may su
perflclally look, are. In reality the
shrewdeit politics. '
The trouble with the present project
however, la that the people are already
wall Informed .as -to the..status of. the
Cuban revolution, and will wonder why
a presidential recognition of the Cubans
rood next Mav or June should not have
been equally opportune the preceding
February. Any attempt to mane po
littoat rnnltal out of Cuba will fall be
xnuao. from the nature of the situation,
Us motive must necessarily be appar
ent. For Cuba's sake we shall be glad
to get even an eleventh-hour word of
cheer from Orover Cleveland, the friend
nf written monarchy In Hawaii: but If
delayed until then the word which he
shall speak will be bereft of political
significance, and will only lllustratethe
desperation of Democracy a case.
It Is very evident that Spain's great
eat. fear In Cuba Is that the war cor
respondents will get a chance to tell
tho truth.
Silver's Fool Friends.
In consequence of their refusal to
vote for the Dlngley revenue bill unless
It -were amended so as to provide for
the Independent free coinage of silver,
the, free . silver . Republican, senators,
Cannon, of Utah; Carter and Mantle,
of Montana; Dubois, of Idaho, tond Tel
ler, of Colorado, have caused the defeat
of that measure and have assumed de
liberately the full responsibility of
whatever crises may result through the
Insufficiency of the government's rev
enues to pay current expenses.
These men assume to be actuated by
fidelity to the cause of free silver coin
age. Rut their action Is that 'of ene
mies of silver, who would by Ill-timed
obstinacy and general contrariness, lose
for It the favor of all fairmlnded but
hitherto' neutral 'observers. . These five
senators might as well refuse to draw
their salaries because free coinage Is
not tha taw of the land aa to make that

Attorney General McCormlck has
made a rullnir in the Cambria iron
company store case to the effect that
there is no sense in his beginning a
nrosecutlon under the anti-company
store law when It is evident In advance
that the case wtmld not be sustained
In court. The onlnlon Is in effect that
that law was a bit of buncombe pur
posely framed so as to permit the pass
age throutrh It of a coach-and-slx; and
we guess that Is not far from the real
truth.
The Future of the Booths.
It la to be hoped that Balllngton
and Mrs. Booth will yet be persuaded
to undertake a plan of evangelistic
work In this country along the lines of
the Salvation Army with the faults of
that organization left out. To regret
that the recent unpleasantness In the
army should ever have occurred Is no
longer fruitful. The fact has appeared;
let the best be made of it.
In a comparatively brief season the
Salvation Army, at first glance seem
ingly crude, dissonant and suggestive
alike of buffoonery and Irreverence, has
won general recognition ns an actual
and positive agency for good. line
conventional Christianity sat back and
sighed at urban vloe. poverty and social
degradation, fearing to soil Its skirts In
close contact, the followers of the
Hnoths. however noisily, roughly and
with theatric-affectation, carried the
buttle of the Cross Into the Yieglected
slums, and wrought where others had
halted. The results of their campaign
ing everywhere spenk for themselves.
No longer Is the opinion of conventional
Christianity sarcastic and critical. It
hus literally been shamed by these poor
uriny folk Into getting down to the level
of Its illvlnely appointed work.
To Hulllngton Booth and his noble
wife belong much t the credit for this
nllirmatlve temporal triumph. They
supplied the brains which prudently
planned the campaign; und without
their wise counsel the army will surely
fall into decline. The circumstances of
their dismissal do not leave much hope
that they will be recalled and re-lnstat
ed. The chances) are against that. Hut
it Is Impossible to believe that they will
long Vie permitted to hide their talents
under a. bushel, or that the public Is to
be nmde the loser because the elder
Booth of a sudden grew unworthily
jealous) of his ablest son.
Some one has raised the point that

Reaping the Fruits.
According to the testimony of Samuel
W. Allei-ton, the Chicago packer, dellv
ered a day or two ago before the sub
committee of the house ways and
means committee which is investigat
ing the benefits of the reciprocity poll
cy and the effect upon trade of revok
lug the commercial agreements which
were made with Germany, Austria,
Brazil, Spain and other countries ilur
ing the Harrison administration, the
repeal of the reciprocity arrangements
has cost the cattle trade 6(K,000 head of
stock per year in the quantity of lis
exports and a shrinkage of at least fl.&O
per KM) pounds in the price. This is
simply one Item. There are others.
The Wilson bill has cost in many
other ways. It has been estimated that
its net damage to the country Is great
er than twice the cost of tho civil war.
This cannot be proved, but It is prob
nbly true. One thing at least Is certain.
It lias cost a great deal In the way of
deficits. The following table shows the
national receipts- und expenditures by
months since the .Wilson law became
operative:

Technically, the charge against Dr.

Not Worth the Powder.
Senator Garfield, of Ohio, a son of the
late president, has undertaken, so far
as the Buckeye state is concerned, to
arrest the swelling tide of collegiate de
grees which are being so lndlscrlmi
nately conferred, usually for a consid
eration, by the Increasing number of
small-fry colleges that dot the hillsides
and punctuate the plains. He has In
troduced a bill providing for the crea
tion of a state college and university
council of ten members, appointed by
the governor, which shall pass upon the
fitness of each college to confer de
grees.
No doubt the senator's Intention is
excellent; but is the game worth the
powder? A collegiate degree unsus
tained by merit is at best a harmless bit
of nonsense. The man who has enough
brains to win a degree by. honest
scholarship generally has enough to
arry him through life independent of
adventitious ulds and secure against
the competition of quatii; doctors of law
and of philosophy. No doubt u well
earned title Is a prize worth keeping for
those who deserve It; but after all. the
main thiim Is the ability, of which
such a title is merely a symbol.
Able men do not need titles. They do
hot need to worry us to whether titles
are cheap or dear. They can stand on
their own feet, though the woods were
full of alleged scholars -made so only
by the grace of college faculties. '
That McKlnley will lead at St. Louis,
on the first ballot. Is conceded. But
the real question, after all, is, who will
lead on the last one? ,
Encouragement for Crime.
One of the strong notes in Theodore
Roosevelt's eloquent address at Chi
cago on Washington's birthday was
Founded In discouragement of the
maudlin sympathy" which society is
wont to bestow upon the clever crim
inal. "Nothing," said he, "Is mere re
pulsive In our public life than the
tendency to deify mere 'smartness'
that is, the tehdency to treat a cer
tain kind of intellectual acuteness as
In Itself admirable, even though ut
terly divorced from honest: and mor
ality.. A self-respective community, a
community quick with the spirit of
stalwart honesty, will regard the clev
er criminal w'th even more abhorrence
than the stupid criminal, and will war
upon -him relentlessly,"
The point Is emphatically re-stated
by the Chicago Tlmea-ilerald when It
says: "There has been In times past
too much hero worship of criminals.
Murderers and highwaymen are no
sooner arrested and put upon trial tliun
they find themselves the center of pop
ular admiration and attraction. Weak
and silly, men and women llock to the
court rooms and the Jails bearing pres
ents of flowers and food. The enorm
ity -uf the crime is lost sight of in nil
this adulation, and even when punish
ment Is inflicted It has been so long de
layed that It no longer has a deterrent
effect. For all this society must bear
the blame, und until criminals cease to
be heroes the community must suffer
from epidemics of crime."
What would Mr. Roosevelt and the
editor of our esteemed Chicago con
temporary think If they should learn
that In the great commonwealth of
Pennsylvania there Is an olllclnl Instl
tutlon known as the Board of Pardons
which literally makes a business of
turning convicted criminals loose on
the community, murderers preferred 7

From the Chicago Record.
Colonel A. K. McClitre, the venerable
and eloquent editor of the Philadelphia
Times, who Is a Democrat, but knows
pretty much all that Is going on in Penn
sylvania, talks in the same way. He
thinks that Mr. Quay had a great deal of
solid encouragement from other states
before he consented to have his name
used, and that there will be a great sur
prise nt the St. 1.0'tis convention when
his strength Is disclosed. Said he: "1

has seen very little of that side of his

sighted, and has remarkable executive
ability as well aa polltcal shrewdness,
Colonel Quay would have made a great
general if fate had thrown him Into a

equally successful In that line."
