At the recent banquet of the Amerl
tan NewBDaper Publishers' aasocla
tlon In New York, one of the brightest
and wittiest addresses of the evening
was delivered by John E. Barrett, the
brilliant editor of the Truth. It. is to
be printed in full in the next issue of
the Fourth Estate, a compliment as well
to Scranton as to Mr. Barrett.
His Duty Is to Obey.
The continued re-Iteration, appar
Kttly by authority, that the president
will make no move in the interest of
the Cuban insurgents because he has
given a secret pledge to the Spanish
rovernment of non-interference pend
Ing the result of the present military
rampalgn in Cuba, is beginning to Jar
upon the public mind. While it may
rest within the constitutional province
of the chief executive of the United
Btatts to conclude, without the knowl
edge of congress, star-chamber alli
ances with foreign governments, BUt.h
a. policy Is nevertheless odious and re
pugnant. It does manifest violence to
the principles of otir government and
la entirely too suggestive of the cus
torn of imperial absolutism to prove
acceptable to a nation of peers.
It may please Mr. Cleveland to re-
g-ard this nation an a turbulent people
which needs the curb of a strong-willed
ruler. Doubtless the speech in which
Mr. Bayard aflirmed as much was a
welcome tribute to his self-esteem. Ills
actions In many episodes give plausibil
ity to this conjecture. But if this is
his conception of the presidential tunc
tlon, It la not the opinion which obtains
among the masses of tho people, and It
la signally alien to the best traditions
of the government. Whether the point
at Issue be the attempted suppression
of free government In Hawaii or the
merits of a barbarous attempt by a
relentless foreign nation to subjugate
the long-abused inhabitants of Cuba,
the conclusion of the people In either
com is that Mr. Cleveland is their ser
vant, not their master; and that It is
his duty to hearken to their voice and
not try to bend their wills to his.
The American people, through their
representatives in congress, have spok
en in a deliberate manner upon the
subject of the present Insurrection In
Cuba, and their practically unanimous
opinion is that the aid of this govern
ment should be extended to the strng
Bllng Cuban patriots to the liimoft
limits consistent with our proper obser
vance of the laws of nations. This ex
pression of opinion Khould have for
Mr. Cleveland the practical force of a
command. It Is not his place to say
whether his countrymen have spoken
wisely or unwisely. He Is their ser
vant, paid by them to execute their
sovereign will. Any private contracts,
pledges or obligations which he may
have mode without the concurrence of
the Immediate representatives of the
people should be regarded as null and
void the moment the people clearly
and firmly Indicate that a different pol
icy Is their desire.
If when Mr. Cleveland sought the of
fice of president he was qualified for
the place, he must have accepted the
position with a full foreknowledge of
his subordination to the people, and
therefore cannot Justly take it amiss if
the people expect him to carry out their
mandates. The Intimations of the
Spanish press and of the Spanish prime
minister that the action of the Ameri
can congress will have no Importance
bo long as President -Cleveland keeps
to his former opinions are anything
but pleasant to the citizens of the
United States; and even less acceptable
la the ostentatious announcement of
persons high in the president's confi
dence that "Mr. Cleveland will pay no
attention to congress." If Mr.' Cleve
land will consult the history oj Eng
land he will discover that a former sov
ereign of that country, possessing a
larger following and a wider authority
than the present chief executive of the
United States enjoys, once paid no at
tention to the voice of the people's par
liament, and reckoned far that temerity
on the headsman's block. Although the
times of regicide have passed, there Is
till a sufficiently vigorous undercur
rent of Anglo-Saxon blood In the veins
of the cU-Atlantio descendants of the
sturdy Roundheads of Cromwell's time
to invest with danger the attetii!t of
On American president to employ
Rtuuit turtles on the men who placed
him In olllcc.

Right to the Point.
Senator yuay has brought his praeti
cal mind to bear on the subject of postal
savItiRH banks, with fortunate results-
Ills bill provides that all money-order
postoinces already In existence In the
I'nited States be opened and empowered
to receive small savings of the denomi
nations In sums of ten cents or decimal
fractions of a dollar; thut no deposit
be received less than ten cents or over
ten dollars at any one time; that Inter
est bo allowed at two aer centum on
yearly deposits, no interest on any de
posit over five hundred dollars; that the
system shall be by the purchase of
stamps of such value and placed .upni:
cards; that upon presentation of such
card at any other money-order post
office in the United States, such valuo
may be redeemed in current specie.
This measure has the merit of sim
plicity and directness. Like the sena
tor's "reform" platform. It covers the
whole ground In as few words as pos
sible, and leaves nothing to be added
Incidentally it discloses the fact that
a level-headed man can generally cover
more ground In congress by keeping his
mouth shut and his brain busy than by
Btutllng the congressional record full of
verbose speeches that ure never heard
nor read.
The chances ore that Mr. Cleveland
regards congress as an altogether su
perfluous luxury.
Sophistical Championship.
We have received from the American
Trade Press association, of New York,
the report of Its president, David Wil
liams, of the Iron Age, upon the I.oud
bill changing the postage rates on cer
tain printed matter. Accompanying it
are blank petitions urging congress to
pass this bill. The report praises the
bill because It prohibits the mailing of
books ns second class matter, thereby
giving newspapers a better show, and
because it cancels the sample copy
privilege whereby a large volume of
periodical literature is cheapened for
the people. Mr. Williams' argument Is
ingeniously drawn to catch the un
thinking. For instance, he says: "The
sample copy privilege is a direct induce
ment to the starting of newspapers,
which very much lessens the value of
every establixhed newspaper property,
It renders the establishment of new
papers cheap and easy and enables
them at once to compete vigorously
with those already in the field at the
expense of the postal revenues." No
doubt this plea will receive the cordial
approval of monopolists, who fear com
petition, or of rich publishers, who,
having made their fortunes, want to
prevent other men from having a fair
chance. Hut It will signally fall, we
should imagine, to win the approval
of the masses.
Mr. Williams, however, does not rest
his case here. Lest the inducement
of a perpetuated monopoly of the pub
lishing business should not win estab
lished publishing firms to the support of
tho Loud bill, he tries the other tack;
he resorts to a veiled threat. In the
ghastly emphasis of double-leaded
italics he says: "It Is perfectly plain
that some change must ere long be
made in the postal laws, and unless
this takes the shape of a reasonable
reform of the abuses of the present
system there is much danger that an
entire recasting of the postal laws will
become necessary. In this case the
rates for regular newspapers and peri
odicals will undoubtedly be much less
fa'vorablo than at present." Indeed!
as if the people were not themselves
the source of authority on this subject,
and therefore well able to protect them
selves in the enjoyment of rheap read
ing by means of equitable postal laws.
Tho fact of the matter Is that the
Loud bill cuts off the publisher's nose
to spite his face. Aimed at conceded
abuses, it does more harm than good.
and ought never to become a law with
out material modification. Postage
rates on printed mutter cannot be too
cheap. This Is the age of cheap liter
ature. When as Icy a man as Senator Sher
man warms into "burning eloquence" in
behalf of Cuba, Spain's case must In
deed be desperate.
Political Expenses
So much wild comment about the use
of money in politics Is indulged In, from
time to time, by men who gather their
opinions on this subject either from the
depth of their Inner consciousness or
else from slanderous talk by political
Irresponslbles, that It Is refreshing to
encounter, once In a great while, an
opinion founded on fact. The St. Louis
Globe-Democrat in the course of a con
servative editorial upon this subject,
sagely says:
"It is often hinted that much of the
money collected for political purposes
Is dishonestly or Improperly applied;
but this idea may be dismissed, gen
erally speaking, as an erroneous one. At
least one-half of the whole amount that
it costs to nominate and elect officers
is paid by Individuals for ordinary
traveling expenses, and as a matter of
personal enjoyment, while the amount
that goes Into campaign funds is used
for telegraphing, printing, music, trans
parencies and other legitimate objects.
A great party is like a great army. In
the sense that Its success depends upon
thorough organization and the full im
provement of Its opportunities. It
must have the means to make its power
effective. There are certain things to
be done for the Inspiration of Its mem
bers and the confusion of Its opponents
that are Impossible without money. It
can not hope to win an election If it
neglects these sources of advantage,
and it has a perfect right to make the
most of them. More than this, in thus
helping Itself It stimulates that Interest
In public affairs which is a part of good
citizenship, and which is essential to
the safety and welfare of the govern
ment. The money expended In this way ,
Is not wasted. We get an adequate re
turn for It and have no re a -ton to grum
ble ubt.ut It."
No doubt u good deal vt money Is
wasted In politic!, although probably
tiot more tbun in war; uml poll'.li'S U
war, minus the sabres unj fciins. tint
the notion that all. half or even tl tenth
part of tli- money ypent hi politics la
spent ilb-nltliiialely ur for corrupt pur
poses is simply not true. Mocause our
Immaculate hlh-toucd folks who read
papers ut swell clubs on municipal uacl
other kinds of reform do not rn-tUent
the primaries and have, us u rule, to
be drugged to the polls, a considerably
larger sum is spent at each election for
the purpose of getting mit the vote than
would be necessary if our critical
friends would lower their heads from
the clouds :nd fubil their civic duties
without waiting to be sent for. Then,
too, Jf these good folks, when they do
enter politics, would do so Intelligently,
acting as a unit for good government
Instead of going oft on preposterous
tangents in pursuit of Impalpable
dreams, nt ill less money could be spent
without danger to tho public welfare.
But as it is, politics means war, and
war means ammunition.
One of the advantages possessed by
Senator Cullom over several of his act
ive competitors for the Republican
presidential nomination consists of the
fact that although he hus been In public,
life for more than a quarter of a cen
tury, he has always been and Is today
a poor man. He once said: "We pinch
In every way we can and make no ef
fort to put on style, and yet I have more
bills than my month's salary will meet.
I urn as poor as a church mouse and
the longer I stay in congress the poorer
1 will be." When we consider how
many splendid fortunes have been made
by public men through ex-ofllelo op
portunities, the example of Senator Cul
lom stands out like a beacon light.
With men of his stamp, duty is a con
sideration far above personal nest
fcatherlng, and that Is by no means an
Inconsiderable recommendation.
It Is singular how rapidly the cuckoo
organs, like the Boston Herald and thu
Philadelphia Record, have taken their
cue from the reported dlspleusure of the
president at congress' action with ref
erence to Cuba, and are now hard at
work trying to apologize for Spain and
ridicule the Cuban patriots. The New
York Evening Post is more consistent
than this. It has fought for Spain all
along. But, then, no one ever expected
that the Evening Post would be on the
people's side.
What is the matter with the mayor
of Carbondale, anyhow? Out of the
goodness of his generous heart he
picked a quintette of favorite council
men, paid their way to Newark to in
spect a pet bridge, got due advertising
for his liberality and finally had his
own way in the awarding of the bridge
contract. And yet he Isn't happy. Has
any one charged that, ufter all, the
bridge company really footed the bill?
Notwithstanding that Oxford uni
versity has just declined to confer upon
women the degree of bachelor of arts,
it is probable that the more fortunate
male graduates of that venerable insti
tution will continue to pay their best
addresses to their feminine "inferiors,"
In the old-fashioned knowledge that the
hand that rocks the cradle la the hand
that rules the world."
-
Not only Is Mr. Mogee going to run
for the state senate from his Pittsburg
district, but It Is now said that Colonel
Harry Hall, his versatile lieutenant,
will be a candidate for the house. Ma
gee evidently means business.
The total deficit for the last eight
months, as shown by the treasury' re
port. Is $17,516.S58. And yet Cleveland
lu his lust messuge to congress as much
as said there was no deficit.
The rumor Is again rife that Mr.
Cleveland will soon write a letter de
clining to be a candidate. What Is his
Idea of the meaning of the word "soon?"
THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE.
The well-Informed chief Washington cor-
rcBUondeiit of the Philadelphia Press, K,
J. ijlbson, sends -to his paper the follow
ing cart ful review or -the Kt-puDllcan pres
idential canvass: Ho one of the ureti-
(lelitlul candidates, with the exception of
Mr. McKlnley. has anything lIKe Head
quarters In the capital, lienerul ISrus-
venor, or Ohio, lias a room ut tne tjocn

Hut there does not seem -to be unybmly
In particular taking care of the Intern-its
of (iovi-ruor lortou.
The strength of tiie candidates as far
as can be ascertained here. Is In iihout
the following order: McKlnley, Heed. Al-
ll'-in, .Morton, yuay, Cullom and I 'avis.
11 Ik conceded by itne menus or a:i lae

Air. ousy hus expressed ahe opinion th.it
that estimate, the one of 2, is "not very
far list ray us the situation is at this
line. ' From all sources therefor? It Is
conceded that Air. AicKinley will lead In
the first ballot. Hill the friends of other
candidates maintain that for Air. .McKln
ley to be uccesf ul he must be nominate. I
on the second builot an 1 this they claim
cttnnot be (lone. Atr. AlcKitiley's frlen Is
are equally confident that it can be done.
As only a very few delegates have vH
been elected estimates are not of much
value. One table made out by a suppor-.- r
of Heed gives him M on the llrs-t ballot.
Another table made up hy Interests friend
ly to Air. Heed, and efter Investigation In
all the states, gives the speaker M on the
first ballot. The best estimate for Mr.
Alorton Is eighty-eight, made up of X,-w
York's seventy-two ami some scattering.
Air. Allison's friends claim that he will
have over lot) on the first ballot, made up
of Iowa's twenty-six and some from t!ie
Dakota, and a number from Texas and
scattering from other states. Senator
yuay Is given In nearly all thpse tablet
the vote of Pennsylvania, sixty-four. Hut
the MeKinlry men claim part of this vote,
and there seems to be some doubt as to"
whether the vote of the state will be solid
for Air. Quay. His friends cialm that ho
will get some scattering votes, but th-y
do not expect -that he will get on the tlr-t
ballot more than about seventy-six. .Mr.
Davis Is making no canvass for delegates,
but he will M those of his own state, ami
probably some few outside, to irtart with.
His friends claim for him twenty-seven.
