The story that John Hull hnd secretly
pledged Spain to keep rncle Snm from
Interfering with Cuba show that the
silly season has set In early this year.
The Drift Towards Harrison.
Hnil General Harrison been n shrewd
anil cunning politician, bent on turn
Inn every event to his own benefit, In
stead of a dignified, conscientious and
model citizen pursuing In private life
the same even and unriRht way that
he uniformly pursued when president,
he could not have fixed the date of his
wedding more opportunely. It has
come at the very time when the clash
ing of the Interests of seeking aspirants
for the political honor which he only
a few months n'So voluntarily set aside
has prepared the minds of ninny Re
publicans to turn with some measure of
eagerness to the one solution nt. St.
Louis which would concededly obviate
factionalism, alluy party and sectional
Irritation and present to the peoplo as
the nominee for president a man con
cerning -whose honesty, ability, high
principle and experience they are thor
oughly assured. It Is not clear that
General Harrises would wish to be
called, even by unanimous draft, back
to the position from which he was
Ignorantly and most ungraciously eject
ed by the now well-repented Idiocy of
1892; but we are by no means alone in
the belief that circumstances are shap
ing themselves so as to make more than
possible his nomination at St. Louis.
' Says the AVashlngton Post, a very
keen observer of events political, and
a journal which has exceptional facil
ities for estimating at an early moment
the drift of public sentiment: "Of
course, It Is more than possible that,
between this and the 7th of June, the
whole situation may be transformed.
But, meanwhile, the thoughtful men of
the party are considering the chances
carefully, and there can be no doubt
that they are considering Harrison
jimong them. And, after all, the coun
try,' while It might easily do much
worse, can hardly do much better than
with Harrison. He Is at least not an
experiment. We know him as a firm,
patriotic, wise, and high-minded chief
magistrate.- He Is not magnetic, he
has none of the demagogue's cheap art.
There Is nothing about him to generate
enthusiasm. He is cold, reserved,
sometimes even brusque. Rut there is
a s.rcngth In the man, a self-reliant,
self-contained force thut Impresses and
reassures every intelligent person with
whom he comes in contact. Instinc
tively men feel that the country's dig
nity and honor are safe In his hands;
that he will wink at no evil, tolerate
no affront, condone no shortcoming in
any quarter. He Is a sound lawyer, an
upright citizen, a kind neighbor, and a
faithful friend. He is not a humbug,
ft hypocrite, a, poseur. He Is. what he
seems to be-a straightforward, rather
un4trative personality, puritanical In
his Ideas and his practices, but pure
of life and thought and passionately
devoted to his country and his flag.
Furthermore, he Is a man of simple
habits, of domestic tastes, democratic
In all his ways, not exalted above his
fellow men but glad and proud to stand
upon their unpretending level. The
people have Implicit confidence In his
Judgment, his integrity, and his pa
triotism. Even when he does what
they do not like, they believe In the
honesty of his motives and accept the
act with Unabated satisfaction. They
have seen him at home, on the battle
field, In congress, and in the executive
chair, and they give their faith and
their esteem in every one of those ca
pacities." It has been said that it Major McKln
ley were the nominee his own name
would bo .the party platform. With
reference to tho single doctrine of pro
tection this Is clearly true. But the
Dime of Benjamin Harrison, If In any
shift of politics It" should be replaced
by Imperious party demand at the Re
publican masthead, would not only be
platform for protection fully equal
ling In significance the name of Mc
Klnley, but elso a platform of safe,
clean and demonstrated all-round
Americanism, such as the party has
had but once since the days of Abra
ham Lincoln: a platform which would!
In antlolpailon, unite the - brilliant
diplomacy! of Blaine with the solid and-
substantial traits of an Intellect not
given to Blaine's caprices. To be sure,
the renominatlon of General Harrison
can come, with honor, only In one way
by the free and unforced voice of the
whole party, speaking with practical
unanimity through Its national con
vention, after the avowed candidates
shall have failed, after a fair chance,
to secure a majority of delegates. Yet
such an outcome Is not only possible;
It is. In our judgment, dally verging to
ward the probable.
t
During the first full year of the Mc
Klnley law, our exports experienced a
gain of $146,000,000. During the same
period under the Wilson luw, the gain
was only $.163,723 over the previous year.
Figures tell the story.

The Mission of the Press.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Bulletin one of those volunteers of the
pen who add variety to the life of news
paper editors by furnishing comment
and advice gratis writes to that ex
cellent Journal, which already Is per
haps somewhat overshooting the intel
lectual level of the great bulk of read
ers of dally newspapers, asking if to
make larger provision for the wants of
that class of readers who are deeply In
terested In literary matters. The argu
ment he makes In support of this claim
Is Ingenious, if. not wholly convincing.
He says:
"All dally papers devote pages every
week to sporting topics, because a large
portion of the public care a great deal
about such subjects, but the space de
votiVl to literature and kindred topics
Is disproportionately meagre. A paper
like tho Bulletin appeajs to an Intelli
gent elnss of readers. Thousands of
them are deeply Interested In what Is
occurring In the w.trld of thought.
Thousands of them think the appear
ance of a great book a more impor
tant event than the tragic deuth of a
vulgar and disreputable woman, and
care more to learn what the poets and
novelists, the historians, the scientists
and philosopher are doing than they
do to be enlightened In regard to the
achievements of the base ball players,
the bicyclists and the race horses. Of
course, a great paper must gratify
many diverse tastes, but Is It not true
that the tastes of the Intellectual and
cultured classes are largely neglected
by most papers?"
This correspondent, we fear, Judges
the public's tastes by his own. He
likes to read book reviews, and there
fore Imagines that Tom, Dick and
Harry share the same eagerness. But
do they? One can judge only by what
one knows through personal experi
ence. During the past two years, The
Tribune has tried the experiment of
devoting from one-half a column to
seven columns weekly to book reviews
and literary gossip generally. This de
partment has not been as well done as
It should have been, although it per
haps has been as satisfactory to read
ers interested In that kind of reading
as the other departments have been
to readers specially interested In them.
In this period we do not recall that we
have had, all told, more than n dozen
commendations for that experiment,
or that It has been the means, so far as
we know, of gaining fur the paper one
new subscriber. On the other hand, an
equal space given to sensations or
sports each week would quite quickly
reflect Itself In Increased sales of pa
pers. Upon this point no publisher Is
uncertain.
We mention this In no spirit of dis
couragement, for the literary corner
will be maintained, Just the same, as
well as time and space will permit. We
mention It merely to give emphasis to
our conjecture that the Philadelphia
Bulletin's correspondent Is somewhat
mistaken In his premises. What hp
says concerning the superiority In In
terest of the appearance of a great book
bringing knowledge or pleasure to un
numbered thousands of human beings
over the scandalous death of some dis
reputable woman whose only legacy to
society Is an awful example, ought to
be true, and It Is to the shame of the
American people that, with free schools
and free churches everywhere Inviting
to a higher level of education and cul
ture, It Is not true. The plain fact,
nevertheless, is that out of ten aver
age buyers of .newspapers eight want
sensation, and by reason of that want
are likely, nine times In ten, to get it.
For newspapers are not endowed
against the loss of subscribers and ad
vertisers; and even if they were all
models of elevated taste they would
be powerless for good unless the people
read them.
The story Is renewed that Congress
man Leisenrlng of Luzerne Is not to
have smooth sailing for a renomina
tlon. Tho names of ex-Senator Wll-Hams-and
Colonel W. J. Harvey are
mentioned as possible opponents, we do
not know with what authority. The
charge against Leisenrlng is Ingrati
tude to friends. This Is one of the In
evitable features of political life. As
to the basis of the present charge we
know nothing, but we are rendy to
predict that Mr. Leisenrlng will ha've
very little dilllculty In securing a re
election. Adopt the Metric System.
Since 1840, when it was authoritative
ly adopted by France, the metric sys
tem of weights and measures has won
Its way into recognition by every im
portant civilized nation with only three
exceptions England, Russia and the
United States. A bill Is today before
congress to legitimatize the mo trio sys
tem in this country on and ufter Jan,
1, 1801, and it should pass.
The reasons for It are many; the one
reason against It Is unimportant. It is
argued that the change would prove
confusing, which no doubt would for
a time be true. But as a recompense
wo should have the consolation of emi
nent company In the confusion; we
should reduce the total number of our
measuring terms by nearly fifty per
cent.; and most Important of all, we
should be In vastly better condition to
bid successfully for larger trade rela
tions with the sister republics of Latin
America, Which without exception are
committed to the metric syBtem. . .
The tendency of the. times is toward
International uniformity. The talk Is
for International arbitration, Interna
tional bimetallism, International penny
postage, International expositions, census-enumerations,
exploration parties
and -other things almost Innumerable.
The world-at-large Is getting together.
Under these circumstances It would be
foolish for the United States to persist
in its adherence to a standard of
weights and coinage which would only
tend to complicate and impede our
growing International trade.
The Carlisle declination Is Interpreted
by his friends to have a string to It.
But it will probably not become neces
sary for'hlm topull that string.
Resorting to an Old Trick.
The Philadelphia Record is the one
Democratic newspaper coming In our
mails that has the hardihood to credit
tho Wilson bill with being a better
revenue producer than the McKInley
bill. It reaehts this conclusion by com
paring the receipts during the last nine
teen months of the latter law with the
receipts during the first nineteen
months of the Wilson law, and showing
thoy were J32,.ri00,000 less.
It docs not, however, supplement Its
figures by explaining that during the
last nineteen months of the McKinley
law .Imports were held back by foreign
dealers In the expectation that the
American tariff would be lowered by
the Democrats. This dammed-up vol
ume of Imports was let loose as soon
us the Wilson law took effect, which
accounts Tor the momentarily greater
revenue under that law. The spurt
however, soon subsided. Unlr tne
McKInley law, the revenue was so pal
pable that the Democratic press con
stantly worried about the surplus.
Under the Wilson law, after the first
rush of belated Imports was over, the
only sure result achieved wes an equal
ly conspicuous deficit, which is admit
ted by Carlisle's own figures.
Wo would not take the trouble to
correct a misrepresentation so patent
as Is tho Record's were It not that the
Democrats, In desperation, seem to be
slowly drifting to a renewal of the tac
tics of statistical Jugslery and falsifi
cation employed by them, with rnre
success. In 1890 and l!9i'. It Is worth
while reminding a fooled public not to
put additional confidence In their two
time deceivers.
The Rochester Post-Express, in an
ticipation that McKinley will be the
Republican nominee, wants the Demo
crats to put up Wilson and have the
tariff question settled once for all.
There is no doubt thut this would be
the logic of the situation, It Democracy
paid any attention to logic.
What Benjamin Harrison lacks in
ability to excite hurrah-boy enthusi
asm of the torch-llght-and-cannon-cracker
order, he probably makes up In
ability to command the level-headed
appreciation of men who think.
BfemCEREXC AND WAIL
From the Philadelphia Press,
Sundry Spanish papers are inclined to
treat the jjiant of belligerent rl;;hts to
Hie Cuban Insurrection ly the United
Stutes as a lit ground fur war. 't'hs Span
ish i;jVeninient has a riKht as has every
liiiiion to make that or any other net a
cases belli, an occasion for a declaration
ur war, but It would b nil occasion- nnil
not a cause, precedent Isi overwhelming
that -the recognition of a be'llgt-rc-nt condi
tion as exLUing is not a ground for war.
It was not ho held by Spain whf-n England
recognised the belligerency of her colo
nies at the opening of the century. Tills
country did not even characterize the
proclamations giving belligerent rights at
tho opening of our own civil war as "un
friendly acts." Spain was one of the
first and earliest powers to Issue such a
proclamation and did so while every or
gan of Spanish opinion was expressing
sympathy with the south. With Spain
and with nil the other power our position
was thnt the facts did not warrant these
proclamations; but we never claimed that
they gavo us the right to break off diplo
matic relations or threaten war.
The entire theory of belligerency pre
cludes this. The proclamation In which
a state of war, public or civil. Is recog
nized as existing Is never addressed to
oilier nations. It Is not for thorn. It does
not alter their status In tho struggle tr
out of it. It has nothing to do with either
laity to the belligerent condition an far
a3 their mutual relations nre concerned.
If the combatants were on one side or
tho other traitors, traitors they remain,
If both combatants refuse to recognize the
laws of civilized warfare, or one docs so
ns Is tho case with Spain a recognition
of belligerency dots not alter this. In war
it Is a fundamental principle that the only
judges and the last and supreme judges
of the way In which tho war shall be con
ducted are tho two combatants, except
and In so fur as they trench on the rights
of third parties. It Is the essence of war
that laws and regulations cease, except as
one combatant or the other regards
them. If the "rules of war" are broken,
other nations havo but three grounds of
Intervention: First, their right to act
anywhere on their own discretion as
guardlnns of civilization; second, their In
defeasible right to act if they deem their
Individual Interests menaced, and, thirl,
their mutual and general right to proffer
"friendly otllces," subject to the equal
right to reject them.
-::-
The theory of the recognition of bel
ligerent rights rests on the fnct that a
neutral government notes a state of war
existing and warns its own subjects not
to take part in It or be drawn into It In
any wcy whatever. Instead of relaxing
American precautions atralnst shipments
of expeditions, tho depart lira of vessels
or tile extension of aid to either combat
ant, it increases these precautions. As
long as there is only a mob and bandits In
Cuba the United States authorities may
be Ignorant, but when the government It
self sees war there and proclaims the fact
the I'nited States is ubjeet to all the spe
cific responsibilities of a neutral. If, for
Instance, nn armed vessel or one ready
to become one left our ports and at
tacked Spanish commerce, the United
Slates would be responsible for every dol
lar of damage done, unless able to prove
iilllrmatively that all reasonable .precau
tions hnd been taken to prevent the es
cape. In addition, when a belligerent con
dition Is declared by us, Spanish cruisers
would have a right to search our mer
chantmen on the high seas. If reasonable
ground for suspicion existed In regard
to them and the search was properly con
ducted. For Spnln under these circumstances
and conditions to make the proclamation
unci Injunction of strict neutrality by the
United States a ground for wnr would he
ridiculous. Recognition of Cuhun irde
pendem'e would bn another matter. It?e
oirnltlon of a belllirr-rent condlton carries
no thtvnt of wnr, hut Is Instrnd a. pledge
of neutrality. Since It Is nn act which af
fects and determines executive policy, It
rests with the president, and must rest
with the president, to decide when and
how the recognition of belligerent condi
tions ard a pledge of neutrality shall be
made. Tho express opinion of congress
has Its weight and must be regarded, but
the time and method of pnsxlng on the
fnets which constitute n condition of wnr
tind rerprlre a warning to the citizens of
the United States that absolute neutrality
must 1m ohJfc'rved nre subjects for execu
tive action through illnlntuntlo channels.
If, Indeed, Spain Is looklnjr for a quar
rel mid prefers as several Enirllsh news
papers, .among others the conservative
London K"onomlt, aver to lose Cuba hy
war with the United S'ntes rather than by
Insurrection, one excuse Is nt good as
another, hut this country cinnot permit
such a snlrit or attitude to affect Its dis
charge of neutral obligations by recogniz
ing the presence of war, If war exists.
THE PEOPLE'S SIDE.
From the Chicago Times-Herald.
The vulgar fashion, sot Richard
Mansdeld, of abusing an audience be
cause It happens to be llmted In num
bers, has bee adopted by Robert Mantell.
who assured the peoplo of St. Louis that
he supported he would "havo to take his
company to Europe before It would be con
sidered good enough for the American pub
lie to patronise." We cannot apeak for
Mr. Mantell's company, which we have
not had the artistic enjoyment of Inspect
ing this season, but wa do not doubt
that a few years of atudy and prayer la
Europe or any othar equally iloalrable
place of retirement would be of material
advamake to Mr. .Mantell. It to the great
American privilege to amuse one's self a
one see (It. end to spend one's monay
aa he may desire. The sooner the Mans
fields and tho Mantell discover this
great fundamental truth the sooner they
will take what the gods provide and be
thankful.
