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

The friends of 8enator Cullom, who have
been keplng truck of the county and dis
trict conventions In Illinois, contest the
statement of the McKnley managers that
the stute convention, which will be held
in Sprlnglield on April 29, will have 200
McKlnley majority. 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.

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."
