Quay and the Presidency.
The WlllteS-I!illT NoV8-lenler ask
U If w think Senator Qimv l 1" to
IK. president of the I'lilted State. That
depends upon what one vantn in a
president. If one wants Ifiniiilutlve ex
perience, executive ability, a thorough
mastery of political methods, und a
ready fainlllurlty with human nut tire,
the IVnnnylvuiilu. candidate would Ilil
the bill rertalnly as well ns uny man yet
named for the place. If, however, one
wants oratorical brilliancy, the util
ity to iose Rpleiiilldly on i-eremonloiw
occusioliH, and. In perHonul churatter
und liubitx, a touch of the aristocrat
and the Pharisee, Quay Is not the man.
Our Luzerne contemporary uccuses
Quay of dishonesty. Its oharce is on
old ore, the details of which were
spread broadcast neverul yeitrs uro by
the senator's enemies. We have no ex
act knowledge us to the real facts In
that ease, and therefore shall not pre
tend to pass Judgment upon the sub
ject. It Is doubtless true that Mr. Quay
in .the course of tt lonir aid active liftf
has done a Rood many thlims which
might better have- been left undone.
We have heretofore criticized him. mid
not any too tenderly, for some of them.
But tit what public man can the sunie
not be said? The perfect citizen Is
scarce even in in ivate life.
Tlie principal iiolnt to consider is not
What Quay oni'e was or was once re
ported to be, but what ho is now. By
the repeated Indorsement of his party
he stands today a-s the accepted lead
er of the banner Republican state In
the Union. He is that state's choice
for president, lie could not attain to
and retain that standing for so long a
period as he has held It without being
a man of strong and attractive person
ality and without possessing qualities
Which lit him fop leadership among
men. We think he is as fit n man to
be president as the majority of our
presidents have been und as the ma
jority of the present candidates for that
office are.
Mr. Magee says he "is in the hands
of his friends." But the question is,
are they suflitient for the purposes in
View?
A Peaceful Settlement Probable.
Present advices from Washington are
to the effect that the Venezuelan com
mission Is, after all, to partake of the
character of a tribunal of arbitration.
Before its finding- shall be communi
cated to congress, a duplicate copy of
finding and testimony Is to be submit
ted, it is said, to the British govern
ment and also to Venezuela, with an
intimation that if either side of the
controversy has not been fairly repre
sented, an opportunity for a review will
be offered before the final adjudication
Will be made public.
This is ; plainly a fair programme,
and there Is said to be good foundation
for the belief that the Salisbury min
istry, having already so far receded
from its original position as to author
ize the submission before the commis
sion of the English case, will go the
further step of having counsel present
at the conclusion, ready to meet the
counsel of Venezuela half way in an
effort to reach an amicable agreement.
Such an outcome would doubtless be
mutually satisfactory. It certainly
would preserve Great Britain from. the
Inevitable stigma of a persistence In
her initial refusal to place her content
tlon before arbitrators.
Should the issue reach this kind of
termination, there still will have been
ample Justlllcation for the energy with
which the Intervention of the Ignited
States was effected. There Is not a
particle of doubt in our mind that this
g-overnment stands higher today in thp
esteem of foreign diplomatists, higher
by several points than It would liuVe
stood had not the? spirit of our people
aggressively asserted Itself, In a man
ner not open to mistake. The foreign
press may call us Jingoes and sputter
(or brief season over America's al
leged impudence, but in the end they
will learn to have a care for Amer
ica's ff.md fuvor. The quickest wuy to
win the respect of others is to exhibit
Sclf-resp.Ht.
Senator Palmer, of Illinois uttered a
caustic truth when he said, the other
day: "The cultures of the I'nlteri
states linds ltun easy matter to at
tend to the affairs of other nations,
but has shown Itself utterly Incompe
tent to deal with our domestic affairs."
To be strictly true, this remark should
be confined to the senate. The house
has done its woii promptly and well.

Republican success. The Cepllbll
cuiif. can will If lliey li.se f-veiy silver
state; but Iheri' Is no necessity for lo:i
Inj? one of thost slates. The peopio of
('tali, Idaho, Molilalia und Colorado,
whatever their views may be on the
currein y iiies'.ion, are soiind piotce-tii-nislK.
They realize thut a govei 11
tnent cannol be run tuceessfully with
out adeiiuute revenues, and In the in
tn'iKidition of revenue dutii-s they be
lieve in favotinir the home manufac
turer mid the home workman um
against the foreigner. They under
stand, too, that the Republican party
as a party has done a great deal for
sliver, more bv far than uny other
party, even If it cannot single-handed
attempt to uphold silver ugninst the
w in hi. These considerations will doubt
less Induce a sulllclent number of vot
ers in those states t j vote the Repub
lican ticket and thereby prevent the
anomalous psectacle of the silver
champions going back on the very
party by whose grace the industry of
silver mining in this country was first
fostered and made prulltablo.
The Industry of book-writing ki'ows
apace. Lust year's output in the United
Stutes readied the totul of 5, 4 till, a gain
over mm of 25 per cent. This Is clearly
the literary uge.
An Unfair Action.
The action of the house of represen
tatives the other .day in reducing from
$5,000 to $:;.500 per annum the sulary
of the president's private secretory Is
not one to be proud of. 'It Is quite ns
little In lis way as was the cut and
subsequent raise recently indulged in
by the Democratic economists of the
Scranton estimates committee.
No doubt the government is "hurd
up"; und no doubt it became so large
ly because of the president's misguided
tnriff policy. But the privute secre
tary Is not to blame for that. He may
perhaps have written some of the free
trade letters and messages that helped
to cause the recent panic, but if so he
acted under Instructions. The real cul
prit Is the president himself; and If
anybody's salary has to be slashed, let
it be that of the chief revenue-butcher
and debt-accumulator, and not that of
his Irresponsible lieutenant.
Joking aside, however, the private
secretary of the president of the United
States, who stands between that official
and the thousands who constantly
clamor for an audience with hhn, keep
ing the bores under check and the
cranks under, surveillance, besides at
tending each day to a hundred other
duties of even greater delicacy, Is worth
either $5,ono a year or nothing. The
fact that for several years he has re
ceived $5,000 is a gooil reason why this
allowance should have been continued.
The country does not relish baby play.
Events are demonstrating that
the Spanish student needs, among other
things, a rood course of birch.
A Boom in the Sugar Trade.
An effect of the Cuban war which
Americans will not relish threatens to
be a shortage In the sugar crop. Tills
year's estimated crop In Cuba, at one
time placed at 1,1.00.000 tons, has fallen
t.i 100,000, and If the war continues
two months lontrer. It will disappear
altogether. William A. Havemeyer,
the foremost American authority on
the sugar trade, predicts that the re
tail price of sugar will raise certainly
1 cent per pound In consequence of thlfi
shortage, and possibly 2 or 3 cents. An
other, bad consequence Is that much
of th; cane growth In Cuba has been
trampled down, a circumstance which
will mnke these plantations non-productive
for four years. The higher
price for sugar therefore may continue
throughout the next American admin
istration, from causes over which it will
haVe no control.
- Last year the United Ftates con
sumed 1,919.714 tons of sugar, of which
nearly half to be exact, 810," tons
came from Cuba. We took Inst year
four-fifths of Cuba's crop. The cutting
off 111 one year of this large fraction
of our supply will mean a speedy clean
ing up of surplus stocks, followed by a
rising price. There are today In the
whole world only 2.C01.S47 tons. Sub
tract from that Cuba's 1.100.000 tons In
a lump, und It is easy to see that the
value of the remainder is bound to
Ineiease. Already the wholesale trade
exhibits symptoms of a desire to make
a harvest out of the situation, und the
tulk among authorities on the subject
1b that 7-cent sugar la a possibility or
rather a probability not far removed.
In the meantime, Grover Cleveland,
it is said, covenants with Spain to let
Butcher Wcyler go on with his work
of Cuban extermination, secure from
danger of American Interposition until
the next rainy season shull set In.
It is a curious fact that in
both New York and Philadel
phia the women outnumber the
men. The feminine excess in (lolb

City It is 24.000. Has the pale-hrowcd

Not ( vo 5U3 for New Soil.
Writing w -verotary of state to Caleb
Ctifhing In IS74, Hamilton Fish voiced
the present sentiment of the American
people when ho said: "It requires to be
borne in mind that In so far ns we
n.ay contribute to the solution of these
questions (of America n liberation from
i:iiU'i-a:i control! this government is
not actuated by any selllnh or Interest
ed motive. The president doc-:i not
meditate or desire the atincxatiiii of
Cuba to the United States, hut Its ele
vation intj an Independent republic of
freemen in harmony with ourselves and
l.ilh the other republic:! of America."
The Chicago Tinies-Herald well ex
presses the until when It remark!-:
"There Is no putty or faction hi ilu
United S'tutes deslrllie; to Interfere with
the ul'lairs of any Kut-opean power in
K'.lrope. There Is a determination sub
xiurtially unanimous union'; the Amer
ican fieie.lu to give rational old to any
Htriietrliiu; people on this continent
v. In n this aid hi ileum tided in the uaiue
of humanity. The United Stales are
not u'.;iv.slvo in any direction. They
lire silf-relliint and resolute. They
eek no new territory except by hon
orable accreilop."
L stlny will probably make Cuba part
of these United Stutes, jtlKt as It will
eventually In ln Canada, too. Into t In
Union. In no other wuy can the root
inoli welfare of the three coitmiics be
o surely promoted. Hut Ibis Is u ques
tion fur the future lo Fiille. We do not
need o be iii u hurry to reach it. We
have abundant elbow mum within our
picseiit territorial limits, and iiolng to
war for more Is the last thin;; that
Alio ii-. ans would think of. Our Inter
est touav in Cuba is one of sympathy,
purely. The spectacle presented lo out
View is that of a weak sister forced
to submit to the bloody embraces of a
bullying tyrant, and us gentlemen the
sight arouses our Indignation. That Is
all.
Some time ago it was reported that
Senutor Thurston of Nebraska, had
threatened to take the stump und tell
the people of his state, If ex-Senator
Mandersun became a presidential can
didate, that it wits u trick to buHle the
supporters of McKinley. Mr. Marnier
son's reply was an Immediate an
nouncement of his candidacy. People
now are waiting to see If Thurston will
care to go before the public, with a
claim that Major AlcKinlcy Is the only
Republican having the tight to aspiro
to the presidency. Probably he will
think better after reflection.
York county's refusal to Indorse the

When foreign nations accuse the
United States of raising the Monroe

TROuRESSlVK AMERICANISM.
Prom the Washington Slur.
Several foreign newspapers, in dealing
with the action of congress in the Cuban
matter, announce that a new quantity ap
pears, and must be laki n into account In
the Ketilcrnmt of the lamer question be
fore thn world. And these Columliuses of
the quill are unusually solemn over their
discovery. Kvidently they have never un
til now been brought to consider the
United Stales In miy other light than that
of a nation Isolated trout and hnllffercnt
to the rest of mankind. The spectacle,
therefore, of a manifestation by this
country of human interest in human af
fairs outside of Its own borders bursts
upon them with all the force of u disturb
ing surprise.
At thu same time 'it must be confessed
that there are newspapers and political
leaders under our own litis no better off
in appreciation of what this government
really does stand for. To them, us to
the brethren across the sen, the recent
assertions of American Individuality und
American duty have como as a surprise,
and a most disagreeable surprise. They
protest most earnestly against the cour.-i''.
Jt is In their otilnlou thu very essence of
unwisdom. They arc almost pathetic in
their assurances that it wil Inevitably
lead to Incalculable injury. Our nature
will change. We'll acquire the spirit and
habits of the bravo, and so skirmishing
around hunting trouble, fiur destiny will
be changed. We'll neelect our own uf
fairs, and tl 11 our hands with the affairs of
others. Then they quote, with all the
solemnity of pedagogues addressing all
unruly class at school, what the fathers
mild about foreiitu entanglements.
There Is nothing more curious than
some of the interpretations that are put
upon the udmonltions of the father.
H..nlly. If some of them had been appll-d
years ubo this country would today b
nothlr.jr but a planters' empire. If some
of them were to be made the rule of na
tional conduct now the country would
drop out of the procession of nations. A
country cannot, any more than ran an In
dividual, live to itself and thrive. As a na
tion, we have not been living to ourselves
hv uny means. We have been ctiltlvntinif
the friendship of other nations, w have
established trade relations with muny t.r
them, und we are now one of the family
of nations. We think ourselves one of
the most important members of that fam
ily. Do these things bring no responsibil
ities? All the countries td the south on
this hemisphere imitate us guide by ns
look lo us for suggestions and assistance,
ilistrnnt Hawaii has followed this suit,
and Cuba desires to do so. Shull we turn
a cold shoulder to all these people, and
Inform them tha-t while we will be glad lo
exchuiide bills of lading with them, tlci
correspondence must Include no love let
ters? Is our only interest in them that
of cash? Ami If It Is, or Is mude to, ho.v
lung may mo expect them to cherish us?

Then there Is that terrible tyrant of
precedent. There Is no prei ( dent for this
thing or for that thing. This government
hus nrver annexed an Island lit tlie Pool
He, nnd therefore Hawaii is oat oi' the
question. This government has never an
nexed mi Irdiind In the Atlantic, and there

government hug never forwarded the din

Cleat oceans, and therefore the Nicaragua
canal Is out of the question. Ho the men
who lira no In this wuy really nienn what

rebuked for his sloth and timidity? Ho
