In our opinion th action of tli Demo
cratic estimates committee, rolnforced
hy Captain Mulr, in cutting to JCOO the?
salary of the mayor- dork when it
was thought the new mayor would lie
a Republican, followed by the raising;
of It to $900 ufter the election of a Dem
ocratic mayor, constitutes a specimen
of about as small politics as can be
found. We should expect legislation of
that calibre from children; but It looks
singularly out of place In connection
with the government of a city of the
eize and Importance of Scran ton.
An Unjust Comparison.
The Bpeclous attempt of the little
chorus of politicians which gets lis
keynote from the Hcranton Republican
(Dem.) to liken the actions of Scranton,
Fellows and Davies In the recent
municipal tight to the course of those
Republicans who, in 18S2, supported
John Stewart for governor will not de
ceive anybody conversunt with the
facts. The bolt to Stewart represented
what was believed at the time to be
a justifiable action because of alleged
unfair practices by the Republican
leadership In the state. Stewart was
nominated as a. Kepublican by Repub
licans. He would, if elected, have been
a Republican governor, as he is today
a Republican Judge.
But the plot to fight Ripple was
hatched by Scranton, Fellows and their
crowd months before the city primaries,
and every mov was In the direction of
stirring up a false prejudice so as to
give plausibility and an appearance of
Justlllcation to the premeditated stab
at Republican supremacy in this city.
F.very detail waa subtly pre-arranged
to sugar-coat and facilitate party be
trayal, and the beneficiaries of the
treachery are not Republicans, as
Stewart was and Is, but Democrats.
The city government has been literally
oetrayed Into the enemy's hunds.
That Is why we say that though free
ardon should be accorded to every
nan who was misled, there should be
no pardon and no tolerance for the
principals In the treachery, who dellb
V erately worked for party disaster, and
afterward gloated over the ruin they
had wrought.
The theory of Dr. Drown that our
colleges should graduate men as well
as scholars accords precisely with the
public's desire. The new executive of
Lehigh has made no mistake in his
f selection of a line of policy for the fu
ture guidance of the institution at
South Bethlehem.
Some of Cuba's Wrongs.
Under Spanish administration the
Island of Cuba has to pay to European
money-lenders a debt of J202.106.461 at
an annual average Interest of rVi per
cent. Cuba has a population of little
more than 1,500.000; and for practical
purposes 1,000,000 of her inhabitants
may be removed front the problem on
account of poverty and 500,000 taken
as representing those who, by reason
of their ownership of property, pay
the bulk of the taxes. In other words,
500,000 Cubans must by reason of
Spain's mismanagement, keep up an
annual interest payment of $11,000,000,
or a sum per capita of $22, to say noth
ing of the maturing principal. Is it
any wonder that Cubans want to be
free?
, In a recent Issue of El Cubano Libre
appeared a stirring review of Spain's
tyranny In the Queen of the Antilles.
AVe cannot do better, than to quote
part of it verbatim:
Columbus discovered Cuba oh) Oct. 2S,
UXS. In lilt lila eon Diego enlisted 800 men
and emit the nxpeititioti' under the com
mand of Dleifo Vekiaqnez to take potmen
kIoii of rh Inland anil to begin to colonise
It. All the ol't historians aicree that the
Hlboneyes Indians, the dwellers in the
noblest of thn Antilles, wore amlavblit,
harmless, ttospltabto, and attractive. V
laaques lorn no time In dmqHilltng- them of
their possesions, of tramplinK on their
natural rights, anil of putting to death
thofte who resisted his brutal government.
Their chief, llatuey, eeelnx tils people ao
barbarously enslaved, rebelled, and Velas
ques had him burned alive. What with
the rude conception of Immortality held
by these trentie savage, according to
the account of Columbus, ami the new doc
trine of salvation which the Spanish eon
qua for never failed to preach to all whom
they Intended to roast,. Hatiiey's Ideas
must have been - Kreatly confused, but
his primitive nature felt such revolt at
., the cruehy of his . executioners that he
v said: "If there arc Mpuniurds In heaven,
, I prefer to go to ht-U." Spain has pos-
ceased Cuba for ttearly 400 years, and has
governed It, with a. few honorable axcep
, lion, by, this same system of oppression
and devastation begun by Diego Valui
juez. With the exception of a few manufac
tories established In recent llmr. und lor i
the -greater pin t beliiiiglni; to strangers,
anil or a lew mlnmiiire railrouits, t'uuau
industry is us backward as at the lime
of the Human empire, I .on if a.'O the isl
and ceased :o produce legal interest that
wus prolliable to Spain; on the contrary,
it yearly piles up an enormous dellctt. I'or
tradesmen In Spain, of whom on account
of the tariff Cuba Is obliged to buy her
goods. It is an advantage; for the Hpanish
dealers in Cuba, a fortune: for the army
of speculators, wealth. All the gain and
advantage Is for Kpuln; for t'uba there
is only suffering and impoverishment,
dally increasing. Nowhere within the
limits of western civilisation is there a
spot more favorable to the rapid, almost
unlimited, development of great popular
wealth. Itkh beyond any Plea, beautiful
as an Eden, Cuba with only a tenth part
of her soil occuiiied ami her resources
barely touched, lies bankrupt under the
vile foot of a deypot too blind to see his
own udvantage.
Consider how Spain, in maintaining her
military government, has treated the per
sons and the private rights of the Cubans.
The pretended insurrection of the slaves
In 1X41 was suppressed by tho establish
ment of a court martial ut Matausas, the
scene of the dlsturhaticc. Xo criminal evi
dence could be obtained by usuul means,
so the court martiul returned to the in
Kenlous system of the Inquisition, and
took Torquemada as an example. Hlaves,
free men of color, and white men were
strapped to ladders, face downward, and
their naked bucks were beaten until the
executioners were sated. As a result, men
in 1S4U were sentenced, some to death, oth
ers to exile to hard labor. Kvcry Cuban
patriot linds himself subjected to a silent
proscription. He Is watched us a sus
picious person: ir the suspicion takes on
a degree of probability, ho ia urrested,
and then are applied to him the most ef
fective methods of getting rid of a sus
pect, among the rich collection of expedi
ents known to Spanish military law. If
the evidence is slight, lie Is ordered under
guard to a safe place to be kept in cus
tody, ahd is exposed to thn risk of be
ing shot by his escort If he tries to escape.
So common has the process become that
a wink of the commander is as good as a
nod of Ills lii ud. .If the prisoner stumbles
or sneezes or looks to one side, he Is killed,
ami the account is given: "Died In trying
to escape."
Tor Cuba's sake we should be pleased
to see the 1'nlted States drawn Into
taking more than u passive part In the
stniBKle for that country's independ
ence. We suspect It would do Amer
icans good to get one fair whack ut
Spain.
Speaking of our interposing "friendly
oflicesi' in Behalf of Cuba, there are
many who suspect that 100,000 armed
troops and a squadron of war-ships
would be quicker and more to the point.
For Commercial Conquest.
It Is not easy to mistake the senti
ment which exists among all classes of
American business men for broader
markets for American products. The
recent demand upon congress by the
National Manufacturers' association
for a restoration of reciprocity and a
rehabilitation of our sadly deteriorated
American merchant marine was simply
the crystallzed opinion of the entire
country, expressed by an organization
commissioned to speak upon a subject
vital to the welfare of its member
ship. In this connection we Invite
thoughtful attention to a quotation
which we shall make from the Chlcugo
Times-Herald.
"In IfttiO." that excellent journal re
calls, "half the ocean carrying trade
was done in American ships. Today
we boast C per cent, of it. Our decline
waa due to several causes, of which
the civil war and British determina
tion to wine us off the seas, If not
off the earth, were tho chief. Just as
our decline on the seas set In congress
began providing means to develop our
continental trude by helping to con
struct great highways on rails.
"The building of the Paclllo railroads
may have enublcd a few men to make
large private fortunes. How shall we
estimate, on the other hund, the part
these great highways on rails have hud
In trebling our wealth In thirty years?
For twenty years we sent on an aver
age $1,000,000 per day in railroad con
struction. Subsidies were given by
count lea, and by smaller communities,
ns well as by the United States. Hud
not panic come the returns on the in
vestment would be far greater than
they have been, but, muking all allow
ances, there has been a return of 10
per cent. The results are seen most
vividly in. one incident of Industrial
development steam power:
Horse power of steam.

"The growth of wealth from the In
auguration of the railroad era to the
present time has been most remark
able In the prairie and Pacific areas,
but the most remarkable fact of all
resultant from the railroad era Is the
Increase of products suitable for expor
tation, namely, agricultural and manu
factured. The railroatt era created
paths for the surplus production of the
Vnited States to the sea gates. ' Rut
because the country has not had .the
sagacity to provide carriage for It by
water to foreign markets it lies profit
less for a great extent, an expense to
the country In large measure, therefore
a loss. How soon will the people of the
United States awake to a realization of
the fact that creation nf highways on
the seas for American products Is the
natural and logical sequence to crea
tion of highways on the land to get
these products to the seas?"
Akin to the proposition to admit for
eign vessels to American register and
subsidize new American lines between
new ports la the project of Senator
Quay to appropriate money for the de
velopment of domestic, deep-water can
als. Water carriage is as essentiul In
ternally as it is externally if our manu
facturers' are to compete successfully
with their advantage-holding British
and German rivals. That the near fu
ture holds within its keeping brilliant
opportunities for large-minded Ameri
can statesmanship in the direction of
fostering and nurturing trade expan
sion without sacrifice of home protec
tion is indisputable. We hope to see a
speedy revelation of the far-sighted
young Republican who is destined to
be to the next generation what Mr.
Blaine was to the last.
' The Republican party, according to
Senator Sherman. Is for blmetalllrm,
with the accent on gold.
Spain's Fighting Strength.
While there Is little probability that
the action of the senate In according
belligerent rights to the Cuban rebels
will Involve the United States In a war
with Spain, It Is well to know what we
should have to meet should such a con
tingency arise.
Spain's standing army ia about four
times' as large as ours. The regular
force is made up of 115.735 men, divided
aa follows: 61,162 In the Infantry. H
SKI n the cavalry and 10.112 In the artil
lery. It Is possible to expand this force
by making use sf an active reserve and
of a secondary reserve. All men above
the age of 19 years are liable to mili
tary duty and must serve three years
In the permanent army, three years lu
the active and six years In the second
ary reserve. The augmented force will
equul 1.0X3,505.
The Spanish navy Is or less strength
than our own. It has only one battle
ship, the Pelnyo, launched In 1S87. of
9,900 tons displacement, S30 feet long,
with engines of 6,800 horse-power and
with a speed of 15.8 knots. There are
two port defense boats, nine cruisers,
six second class cruisers, forty-six third
class cruisers and thirty-three torpedo
boats, making ninety-seven vessels in
all. Nor Is Spain in a financial condi
tion to buy new ships. With a bank
rupt treasury und the Cuban war drain
ing every cent of incoming revenue.
Spain would have to fight us with the
forces already ut her disposal or keep
the peace.
Regardless, however, of Spain's re
sources or Intentions, It was our duty
to speak a word of encouragement to
the Cubans In arms; and none of the
consequences of that deliverance will
be shirked.
The house ways and means commit
tee has conferred a merited honor on
William E. Curtis, the scholarly Wash
ington correspondent, by naming him
as its expert to examine the tariff laws
of other countries and report upon the
expediency of a revival of reciprocity.
Mr. Curtis' work as chief of the bureau
of South American republics, under the
Harrison administration, was of an
order that established his fame among
contemporary statisticians and econo
mists, and Hint reputation has been
more than sustained by Ills Japanese
and Washington letters In the Chicago
Record, from which we have frequently
quoted.
The national civil service commission
Is of the opinion that the heads of de
partments In the federal government
are Insulliclently paid as compared
with tho wages paid to men of corre
sponding standing in private indus
tries. They also cluim that the ma
jority of clerks and copyistB at Wash
ington are overpaid, and a general re
lating is proposed. The subject is one
open to considerable difference of opin
ion. The ratlllcatlon by the house of tho
senate's action In regard tuf Cuba will
not alter the legal status of this gov
ernment toward either Cuba or Spain:
It will take executive action to do that,
and Mr. Cleveland Is said to be deter
mined to withhold that. But It will at
least show how the United States feels.
And It will probably cause other Ameri
can republics to Join. In the liberty
loving chorus.
Some of the McKinlcy champions tack
consistency. Although they alilrin that
their candidate Is the overwhelming
choice nf the people, whose will cannot
be thwarted, their next breath goes Into
abuse ot the anti-McKlnlcy "bosses,"
whom they accuse of conspiring to de
feat the popular demund. In choosing
a presidential candidate let us keep our
temper and be able to look pleasant
whoever wins.
Leader Magee, of Pittsburg, Is work
ing up by degrees to a pitched tight
with the Quay boom. As yet, he has
only made a few faces at Quay and cast
a pebble or two at Quay's Allegheny
lieutenant, Colonel William- A. Stone.
In other words, he has not crossed the
skirmish line. But It Is easy to see that
he means trouble. His newspaper Is
loaded,
No duubt the Dlngley bill wasn't up
to the mark In all details. Emergency
measures seldom are. But It was in the
right direction, and the Republican par
ty will bear In mind the names of those
few Republican senators who effected
Its defeat.

BELLIGERENCY EXI'LAINLD.
"What Is the substantial significance of
the senute's action and what will be the
advantages and disadvantages to the
1'nlted States and to Cuba if the Insur
gents tlnuily be recognized by the United
Slate g9ernment us bellliterertsV"
were questions which Philadelphia Press
reporters have asked men w ho have made
a curerul ntudy of (International law.
Henry K. Kdmunds. the distinguished ad
miralty lawyer, snlil: "If connrss favors
the Cubans it raises them from insurgents
or rebels to a level with the Spanish
forces. In other words, this country looks
upon the war as between two nations,
while she stands off maintaining a neutral
position. 1 think thut if th? resolution
pa.'fes the home we would be justified In
selling arms and ammunition to either
part Belligerency means much for the
Cubans. At pre'ent thc-e Is an act of con
gress which will not allow til? llttlmt out
of a filibustering expedition or shipping
nrmsto enemies of a friendly nation. Bel
ligerency will allow the selling of urnis
mid ammunition, hut if we H hoc Id I Mim: il
neutral it .would not permit us to lit out
privateers. That was the cause of the
famous Alabama rase during the late re
bellion In this country, 'i'he Kngllsti fent
out 'thcexoedltion and it cost that raiintry
Sl.r,.eiiij,ovO; so that unless we'nre careful we
may get Into trouble. I believe thai l!;e
recognition of belligerency will result In
the 4'uban. winning their Independence.
American citizens malntuiiiiiu; neutrality
on the island will be belter protected,
though those who Join either of the foi L-cs
will be subject to the laws of war."
I! II 11
. Captain W. W. Ker, who hns been pro
nounced In his advocacy of the cause of
the insurgents, said: "The principal ad
vantage would be that the Cuban govern
ment could Issue bonds and sell them and
thereby obtain funds to carry on t! e war.
Another advantage would be that they
could buy arms and ammunition without
the fear that some aspiring ollli lal of our
government on tne complaint or the
Spanish minister would seize them, upon
suspicion of their intended use against
Spain. Then, again, if 'the Cubans se
cured a few naval vessels those versels
might come Into our port to refit, or
course It will be understood that with bel
ligerent rights, Cuba can have an official
representative nt Wofhlmrton to Icok
after the interests of Ids governm-nt. The
object to be attained is for our govern
ment In the first place to grant belligerent
rliihls to the Cubans, then to Insist upon
Spain acknowledging the Independence nf
the Cubans, tne t uuan government to pay
a fixed sum to Spain, this government
to guarantee the payment of that sum,
and if Spain refuses to accede to our de
mand, then our government will send
ships and soldiers and drive the Spaniards
out."
THE iraoCf.ST CONSTABLE.
Fronf the Wilkes-Harre Record.
With speak-eacies in this county
dniiiu business In direct violation of the
law, it looks very much as though there
has Ijeen very tall swearing done by our
constuhles every return aay. i nese men
come Into court, take the Bible and sol
emnly swear that they know of no viola
tions of the liquor law In their bailiwicks.
Everybody knows that these statements
are not true.' The court knows It. The
constables know It. ilut the farce goes
on and cverjliody who attempt to end
It is put down as a crank and a fanatic.
It la about time that the spirit-easy

month, would drive every apeak-sasy in
the state out of business. The trade would
be diverted to the licensed dealers and
