By order of the ttato committee. M. 8. Quay, Atteat:- Chulrman, Jere B. Rex, W. R. Andrews, Secretaries, One Is forced to admire the manage ment ot the McKlnley press bureau. It has rarely been surpassed. Intervene for Cua! On Tuesday Mr. Cull offered In the United States senate a joint resolution, as follows: Resolved, That the continued violations of the usuges and rules of war between civilized people, the Inhuman and brutal outrages on men, women umi cnuuren constantly reported on reasonable evi dence, either authorized or permitted, not only on the Cuban revolutionists, but also on citizens of the United States, In the war now carried on between the govern ment of Bpaln and the revolutionary forces organized as the republic of Cuba demand Immediate action by the United States, not only for the protection of tlio citizens of the United States who have become residents and acquired Interests In Cuba under treaties with Bpaln lor their protection, but also under the hlKher considerations or a common humanity nnd civilization, shamed and Imperiled l.y barbarities and cruelties known only In the darkest, most cruel and most bloody periods of human history. Resolved, That an adequate naval force of the United States shall bo Immediately sent to Cuba, sitflli'lent to protect by force, If necessary, citizens of the United States from wrong and the violation of treaty obligations between itpuln and the United States. Resolved, That the president of the United States communicate to the govern ment of Spain these resolutions und In form that government that the United States will forcibly Intervene to protect the rights of American citizens and the Interests of civilization If there shall be a further occurrence of murder and out. rage or the shoetlng or putting to death of prisoners of war in the conflict be tween Bpaln and the revolutionary forces of Cuba. On the same day a dispatch from Havana gave details of the garroting of five Cubans who had been arrested in that city and sentenced to death as "murderers, violators and incendiar ies." The garrote' Is a chair with a post behind It and an Iron collar and screw The turning of the latter breaks the neck of the victim or strangles him to death. Tho account says: One man confessed himself to be guilty of the crimes charged agnlnst him und as serted that his companions were Inno cent. The latter stoutly maintained their Innocence to the last, prayed that their deaths might be avenged upon those who had falsely spnt them to the scafTold, nnd Hi en the whole party was escorted inside the square formed by the soldiers. The man selected to be the first victim of the strangling machine quietly and coolly mounted the staps leading to the death chair. He took his seat in an uncon cerned manner. The man nctlng as exe cutioner then twisted the lever or screw handle controlling the garrote. There were agonizing, smothering, choking cries from the scaffold, qnd It was only after a long period of aiCTTny for the condemned man, and almost torture for the specta tors, that tho Cuban was pronounced1 dead. Tho executioners, priests, soldiers and prison officials present turned their heads away In horror and became deadly pale as the stifled sounds came from the sufferer. This, however, was only a be ginning of the terrible performance. Th second victim was brought to the front and led up tho steps to the scaffold by the priests and assistant executioner. Upon reaching the platform, the unfortu nate man made an effort to say some thing to the people surrounding him, but the executioner's hand was placed over his mouth. He was hastily bundled Into the deadly chair, and In another moment the Iron collar was around his neck, the cap was over his face, and the first turns of the lever had been given. If the actunl executioner was nervous upon the occa sion of the first killing, he was ten times more so on this occasion. Ho fumbled and trembled, alternately turning to a death-like whiteness and flushing crim son with excitement. The result was more slow, fearful strangulation and an other horrible experience for the specta tors. We hesitate to go on with this chap ter of horrors. "By this time," the dis patch continues tha prison officials, the priests and of ficers In command of the troops had en dured so much that they openly de nounced the acting executioner and called upon him to get down from the scaffold and let another man take his piace. Tnereupon he feverishly called upon the executioner In chief, Valentine Ruiz, who, from long experience, Hlooked upon as being an expert In his line, to take hls place. Ruiz wan almost as nervous and excited as his assistant, and fumbled badly as be handled the third Cuban, but he Succeeded in accomplishing the execu tion In shorter time and with less horror than his assistant. The fourth victim waa then turned over to Ruiz for strangu lation. By this time Ruiz was shaking all over, and he was much slower-and considerably clumsier In sending the un happy man- out pf the world, so much so that there was renewed murmuring ' at the official Incapacity, After. his dread duty had been performed Ruiz stumbled away from the death post. Insisting In choking terms that his assistant must fin ish the day's work.' Consequently, the assistant executioner again tried his hand at the terrible screw. He was as un lucky as before, for there was another scene of horror which nearly caused strong men to faint before the fifth Cu ban's life was pronounced extinct. . - When shown the foregoing dispatch Benor Dupuy de Lome,, the .Spanish minister at' Washington, . admitted that tha men had been ', killed, but declared that . the ' form 1 of punishment was the ' one 'prescribed br Spanish law. It is "Bpanlsh Uw? thus' nialadmlnistered by ferocious or Incompetent Spanish oMlcluls which has driven the natives of Cuba to re - peated revolt.- If the present -revolu- Hon Is crushed. It will be followed. In due season, by another. Peace cannot be hoped for on the basis of Spanish control. The American .people might as well do their duty In the premises at one time as at another. The Call joint resolution ought to pass. Then let President Cleveland take If he dare the responsibility of vetoing it. Mr. Andrews says he is not a candi date for state chairman. Mr. Andrews Is wise. Safeguards of Banking. By an error Tho Tribune yesterduy spoke of the Meadowcroft banking case as having beca passed upon by the United States supreme court. We should have said the supreme court of Illinois. The luw In Illinois, as we learn from the Chicago Times-Herald, reads that any person or company re ceiving money or other transferable valuable things when, at the time of the receipt, the receiver Is Insolvent, the insolvency causing loss to the tie sposltor of the thing received, Fhall be deemed guilty of embezzlement; and it makes failure, suspension or Involun tary liquidation of the receiving party within thirty days after receipt of the deposit prima facie evidence of Intent to defraud. In the argument of that case and in thf! subsequent public dlscusr Ion It has ...nn iii ...1 Vin n Imnlr i.iln-t.fr lul frtl-f-Otl ,, ., to suspend by causes over which it had . , ... ... p i no control; that the failure of a large . - , , , ,u ,. ' , , . ,,!.. I. i,o veucy mere cuuiu nov ""j , . , .. P least doubt up to the moment of an nouncement of Ms failure, would pre cipitate a run or breed a panic, nnd that banking Institutions, absolutely safe, and actually solvent, would be thus precipitated Into Insolvency or would be obliged to puspend pending recovery of public composure. The supreme court of Illinois, how ever, did not fnil to make discrimina tion between general and special lia bility. Its decision says that "If one Is a bnnker or a person doing a bank lug business 'and receives on depoF.lt the money of his customer. It Is to be presumed that he knows at the time of receiving such deposit whether or not he Is solvent; at nil events, as he holds himself out to the public and to his cus tomers as being possessed of money and capital, and therefore to be safely trusted. It is his duty to know, and he Is, under all ordinary circumstances, bound to know that he is solvent; and it Is criminal negligence for him not to know of his solvency." As the Chicago paper points out,. the clause "under all ordlnury circum stances" implies that "each case of ap parent liability under the statute would have to be considered on Its own mer its. No jury would find a banker a criminal whoso suspension was due to causes beyond his control. A banker who manages his business honestly, honestly In spirit as well ns on his books, has nothing to fear from the luw. AVhere a banker maintains a spu rious solvency by writing up real es tate and other values to suit his bal looning In speculation; where directors and other favorites of banks loot vaults without giving the same securities that common borrowers have to furnish; where loans are made on imaginary collaterul, solvency cannot be claimed without overturning all the safeguards of banking," Senator Chandler should have been old enough to have known better. The True Remedy for the With drawal of Reserve Gold. In his article in the April Forum, en titled "Deficiency of Revenue the Cause of Our Financial Ills," Senator Sherman Indisputably our greatest liv ing financier, has embodied a note worthy contribution to contemporary political literature. Some of the facts cited by him in support of his con tention that lack of revenue and not structural inadequacy of our currency system Is the cause of the present mis chief are given herewith. We think they are superior to comment in their eloquence and effectiveness: To the proposition by President Cleveland of the conversion of the United States notes and treasury notes into Interest-bearing bonds, the sena tor interposes the objection that tnla plan would add $500,000,000 to our interest-bearing debt, besides seriously contracting the volume of outstanding currency. Already the Democracy has Increased the national debt, since March 1, 1893, counting principal and Interest, $501,843,880, whereas under Republican rule, from August 31,, 1885 to March 1, 1893, that debt was decreased $1,T9S,4!)C,- 034. Senator Sherman doesn't believe in such a rapid augmentation of Uncle Sam's Indebtedness. He points out that the McKlnley law did not reduce revenues below expendi tures, but provided a surplus of-$37,- 239.762.57 on June 30, 1891, of $9,914,453.66 on June 30, 1892, and of $2,341,674.29 on June 30, 1893; whereas, the secretary of the treasury reports a deficiency of $69,- 803.260.58 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1894; one of $42,805,223.18 for the year ended June 30, 1895, and one of $17,613,639.24 for the six months prior to December 1, 1895; In all, $130,222,023, during the sway of the Wilson deficit law. ' Or, stated In another way, during the twenty-five months of the McKlnley law (October, 1890-2) the average monthly surplus was $1,129,821, whereas, during the existence of the Wilson law (September, 1894, to December, 1S95) the average monthly deficiency was $4, 099,603. . Under the first year of the Wilson law the importations or agricultural products (the like of which are pro duced In the United States) were of the value of $107,312,522, or more than twice those under the last year of the Mc Klnley law, when the amount was $51, 414,844. Comparing the same periods, tho Importations of wool Increased from $6,299,934 to $32,589,791. and of hides from $10,480,562 to $24,623,239. Other Importations of articles which we can readily produce In this country In creased from ($172,743,601 to $203,684,518. Our exports lof agricultural articles during the same time 'decreased from $371,126,209 to $301,678,885. Senator Sher man argues that these Increasing im ports and decreasing exports injure home Industries and create debts that ! mU!4t e paid by sending gold out of the country. Coming more closely to the question of gold exports, the senator calls at Unt Ion to the fact that prior to 1S91 the demand for coin for United States notes during a period of thirteen years, beginning July 1, ls78. was only H3, :il,SLG, while the receipts of gold for United States notes during the same period amounted to $160,000,003. Gold was deposited and any kind of paper money was demanded. The withdraw als of gold from the treasury from July 1. 1S92, to December 1, 1S83. amounted to tUG0,2U6,512. Uold In the treasury steadily and almost continuously In creased from $140,000,000 on January 1 1S79, to SSC-O.OOO.iKW on January 1, 1891 It then decreased to $12J,000,000 on July 1, 1S94, and. although replenished by the largo sale of bonds, was reduced De cember 31, 1S35. to the sum of $CI.20I, G.'.I. rui ing the first term of Mr. Cleve land, when he was powerless to affect our tariff and currency policy (the sen ate being Republican), the gold In creased from $210,000,000 on April 1, 1SS3, to $320.0O0,COO on April 1, 1SS9. The gold came Into the treasury without cost in exchange for United States notes cr gold certificate. It did not begin to go out In dangerous quantity until the free trade sacrifice of federal revenues coniH?lled the utilization of the gold reserve t:i the payment of current ex pt ndllures. thus weakening public con fidence und setting Into play tho ma i chlucry of automatic gold replenish , .... . , ' , , incut and withdrawal concerning whle! , the president so lustily complains. ' The senator s conclusion la that the i ... ,, . , ,, ,, . . . ! "true line of public policy Is to supply th government with ample means to meet current expenditures and to pay each year a portion of the public debt. The gold reserve provided for the re demptlon of United States notes can then be easily maintained not only with out cost, except the loss of Interest on the gold In the treasury, but with a saving of Interest on United States notes and treasury notes of five times the Interest lost by the gold held in the reserve." Is this conclusion not 1utii"d by the fucts which he pre sents? Kx-Miulster Phelps has succeeded In arresting the attention of the country by an address on tho "Monroe Doc trine," delivered last Monday night be fore the Brooklyn Academy of Arts and Sciences. In this address he de clared his belief that the United States had no business to meddle with the Venezuelan boundary dispute; and ho also called the revolution In Cuba a rebellion of "pillage, anarchy and mur der." His conclusion was that the United States ought to do nothing to offend England or Spain, and especially ought not to let out to the world that It has such a thing as a foreign policy. Mr. Phelps belongs to the class of men who can see no good In quarreling, even in quarreling to protect a right or to prevent a wrong. This world Is a very rough place for men of this stamp. They ought to have a little parudlse all by themselves. While It doubtless Is not the business of the public to say to which organiza tion the local branch of the Salvation Army shall attach Itself, there can be no doubt that many sympathizers with the army's alms would sincerely regret to see the Scranton soldiers take a stand not In sympathy with American Institutions POLITICAL POINTS. A few more scattering delegates have been elected, bringing the total up to 422. It is believed by the Philadelphia Press, which yesterday practically came out for McKlnley, that they will vote on the tlrst ballot us follows: I State.

According to tho Cullom figures as given In the Washington Post, there have been elected 9W dele gates from sixty-four counties to the state convention. Thirty-live counties, with 371 delegates, have declared for .Mc Klnley; twenty-nine counties, with 023 delegates, have either declared against him or are uninstructed. The iinlnstruet-. ed delegates number 658. of which 373 are from Cook county clone. The total num ber of delegates will he 1,33.1. of which number HU will he a majority. Out of the 3S9 delegates yet to 'be emisen, Mc Klnley will have to secure 207 to obtain a majority of the convention. It is said that the fight has been so closely drawn that where delegates htsve not been In structed for McKlnley they may be count ed against him. Senator Cullom's friends on the contrary, have fought against In structions. There have been nine dis trict conventions held and eighteen dele gates elected to- tun national convention. Fourteen of the delegates are avowed Cullom men, four have been Instructed for McKlnley. but two of these four ar. personal friends and strong supporters of Mr. Cullom. They were elected In Cul lom's home district, defeating two strong McKlnley men. II l !l Says Jo Howard: "I don't see how Gov ernor -Morton can hope to succeed as ngainst the marvelous popularity of Mc Klnley In the W-st and south und the un questioned Idolatry which attends Heed In the east. It seems to me that if In the heat of the contest a third party Is to slip in between these chief gladiators the west Is much more likely to get It than the east. In which event what's the mat ter with Brother Ben, of Indiana?" Noth ing at all Is the matter with Harrison, and his prospects will bear watching, , II II II ' Senator Andrews has summarily dis posed of the statu chairmanship question so far as he is concerned by saying: "I am not a candidate for the position of state chairman. The mention of my name in this connection was entirely without my knowledge or consent." This Is , well. If the Harrlsburg Patriot Is telling the truth there "Is a general belief among tho friends of Senator Quay on Capitol Hill that Senator Cameron will be chosen his own successor by the next legislature, They believe the scramble will b so spirlieJ that the 'old man' will turn In for Cameron and re-elect him. The Anti-Cameron people are afraid of this and are quietly helping along the movement to prevent the election of Don at a det. IJlr-at-larxe to the 6L Louis convention by the coaling slate convention."
