Flection luy, Nov. 10. The Ailentown platform's financial plank calls In effect for a. one-third further contraction of our already con tracted currency. It makes the com mon mistake of supposing; that money Can be made sound by belnjf made scarce. McKinley's Great Victory. The Illinois battle has been fought and McKinley has won. This probably means that the presidential nomination will go at St. Louis to the Ohio candi date, If. not by acclamation, then not later than the second ballot. The peo ple of every section appear to be for him, with an enthusiasm which not even the politicians, with all their ef fective political mechanism and com mand over the arts of manipulation, can suppress or Ignore. It will hardly be claimed by the sup porters of Major McKinley that the amazing popularity of his candidacy rests on personal grounds. As a man he Is amiable, courteous, and unques tionably honest. No syllable, of scandal has ever been whispered against cither his private or his ofllclal life. He has emerged from a score of years' activity In politics under circumstances which leave no doubt as to his entire Integrity and conscientiousness. In his dally In tercourse with people he attaches men to him, and so far as we know he Is al most wholly without personal enemies. Yet It Is not alone the personal quality of the man which can account for the remarkable present demand for his nomination. To attempt to explain that demand In all Its bearings would be to exceed present limits; but the chief reason very obviously is that McKinley's can didacy has filled the public imagination with the notion that the surest way to undo, in 1S9C, the mistake of 1S92, will be to honor the man whose prosperity creating handiwork was then rejected and reviled. The man is identified with the Idea; the popularity of the one is the vindication of the other. As has been appropriately remarked, the peo ple recognize that in William McKinley they have a candidate for president whose very name is an all-sufficient platform. Persons close to the speaker Intimate that Mr. Reed would, at a pinch, be quite satisfied with the vice presidency. Let us hope the pinch will come. "Progressive Republicanism." Senator Davis of Minnesota delivered before the Amerlcus club of Pittsburg m Monday night a powerful speech upon the subject, "Progressive Repub licanism." Every word of It went straight to the mark of political com mon sense, but there were one or two paragraphs which we deem worthy of special notice. For his central theme be chose the Idea of protection, not alone the levying of revenue duties oa Imports so as to discriminate in favor of the home manufacturer, but conslst- ent, progressive, all-round protection for American as against foreign inter ests. Said he: "I would protect the shipping inter ests of the United States on the high seas until the constellated glories of that flag should blaze once more in skies from which they faded long ago. We have protected our coastwise mar ine until Its tonnage Is the greatest In the world. Is it not worthy of atten tion that the tonnage fn ship construc tion on the great lakes, under protec tion to our coasting trade, is nearly equal each year to that on the whole length ' of our 12,000 miles of ocean coast? The freight money of our coast ing marine Is paid to American owners, masters and seamen. Why not protect those who go down to the great deep In ships and flee, as with the wings of the morning, to the uttermost parts of the sea? Why not pay to the citizens of the United States the scores of mil lions of dollars in gold which are now annually drained from us Into the cof fers of foreign shipowners and under writers? . . ,' "I would protect agriculture to the Utmost limit. I. do not believe In send ing half way around the world to Aus tralia for the fleece of a sheep, the ex pense of Its production having been paid to Australian farmers and labor ers,, to be transported In an English fessel to 'an English factory, woven !hee by English laborers, and thence n Us finished form brought by ship and :all;4,00O miles to the Minnesota farm r, to b. paid for by; Minnesota wheat xatjsported to Liverpool In a foreign reiiel, the wool, cloth and wheat each aavlng pald to foreigners the tax of 'reight.:: .. r : ':.. "Nor can I be convinced that we need )uy anything made of English, Belgian . iwtdlsh Iron. Z would save Minna- sola Iron smelted by Pennsylvania coal; American wages paid to American men to build American homes; so that every engine, every battleship, every structural beam, every tool, every nail, every length of the rails which have clamped together all the communities In this land with bands of unbreakable steel, shall be of American production by the efforts of that capital and labor which haw raised the iron giant of civilization from his trance In the mine, which have forged his refulgent and puissant armor, which have breathed into his colossal limbs a nation's strength and power, until he stands, 'clad in complete steel,' the regnant guardian of our country, the champion of Its prosperity." Upon the currency question Senator Pavls took the position that under pres ent conditions the only safe plan for this country Is to maintain the gold standard, and predicted that the Re publican rarty would pUce Its nominee "mon an unequivocal declaration for sound, honest money, which shall be of equal and invariable purchasing and liquidating power throughout the world," adding: There was a time when the currency question did not vex us. when discussions coiuf niinij it were scholastic disputes re spectlug possible contiiiKciHies. It wits when the people of tho I'niled dtates held more Kold thun any other nation, ex ceptiiiK France: when our treasury con tinued Jiil,w.om) Kold over niul uliove tne $1Ki,iwu,UWi reserve; when an issue of liond to pay current expenses of the government whs as unUreaned of as another seces sion of states. This surplus of gold was a portion of the sttrpliis revenue pro duced by protection by Republican legis lation Uuilni! a period .of nearly thirty years. During that period the excess of exports of merchandise over imports was more thun 81,30otiiuv.0u0. We beeamo tho foromost manufacturing nation in the world. Twice in our history the national treasury has become the count ing house of bunkers llrst In the closing lays of the administration of James Huchanan, and, next, almost continuous ly, during the preset" t administration of (Jrover Cleveland. The national bunded debt has been increased within tho lust three years laa.iKtD.ttiW. This government--this government hits been compelled to take the guaranty of Hothsrhlld that the gold in its treasury shall not for a stated period be drawn below a certain sum. These bonds run for thirty years. The in terest upon them will nearly equal the principal. Five hundred millions of dol lars must he paid by the American people as the immediate consequence of iih.m tlnning the Republican policy of adequate protection. It will bo observed that the gentle man from Minnesota follows Major Mc Kinley In the argument that the cur rency problem will begin to adjust Itself the moment there is such an arrange ment of the American tariff aa will throw the balance of trade In our favor. Thus he holds that the paramount duty of the Republican party is to restore reciprocity and protection, and wait until the benefits of that restoration, as thoy shall diffuse among the people, will render It safe for congress to undertake to make conservative modifications of the present di fective currency system. While this line of counsel will probably displease tho extremists of all kinds, It probably voices the sentiment of a large majority of the Republican masses, and Is therefore likely to prevail. Mr. Ilanity's convention may pre tend to want a tariff for revenue only; It will not be forgotten that Mr. Ilar rity's party has given tho country a tariff for deficit only. Dallying With Cuba. It is a significant fact that no per son who has lived or traveled In Cuba takes stock In the hypothesis that the rebellion on that isiund can be termi nated by the granting by Spain to the Cubans who are now In arms of certain rather high-sounding but practically meaningless political concessions. Ev ery evidence before the American peo ple from competent witnesses tends to prove that Cuba can place no reliance upon Spanish promises, and that there fore the Insurgents will continue the present war either until they succeed In wresting Cuba wholly from Spanish control or until they are themselves hopelessly crushed. This being true, how absurd becomes the reported overture of President Cleveland to Spain politely suggesting that the two pur ties to the Cuban war submit 'their grievances to him for peaceful adjudication. The resolution recently adopted by congress called, It Is true, for the proffering by the Ameri can executive to Spain of his peaceful ofllces in behalf of Cuba, but it said, In plain if In unwritten words, that the failure of a peaceful overture would be the signal for such a recognition by this government of the struggling patriots of Cuba as would soon bring their bat tle for freedom to a successful close. Conventionality In diplomatic Inter course requires between governments a certain delicate indirectness of lan guage, but In the present case the tem per of this republic, underneath the Bof t phrases of Its diplomacy, la for prompt and effective assistance of the Cuban Insurgents. It Is possible that Mr. Cleveland wishes by a show of obedience to the letter of the Cuban concurrent resolu tion to evade obedience to Its palpable spirit. In that case, the only thing which the country can do Is to await with such patience as it can summon, the advent next March of a president not superior in his conceits to the plain mandates of his countrymen. But If the present executive bo really solici tous to do his full duty, let him desist from his rainbow-chasing In the Im possible direction of arbitration, and proclaim at once the official recognition of the fighting Cubans as belligerents. In relation to the American, Ham mond, who went down to the Transvaal, Intrigued agalnBt the government, got caught and Is now sentenced to death for treason, Senator Hill and a few other publlo men are disposed to be come excited, but the majority of the people of this country, wo observe, are keeping quite calm. They reason it out that If Hammond .'doesn't have sense enough to behave himself In a foreign country his American citizenship af fords no Bttfllclent excuse why he should not suffer the consequences. That delegate of the International ar bitration conference who wanted to re turn a $1,000 contribution from Carne gie because Carnegie manufactures ar mor plate had a nose for logic like the trunk of an elephant. The effort which Is btlng made to save Murderer Holmes' Ineck will, of course, fall. It Is true thaU Holmes was not convicted on evidence Out on preju dice; yet the proof of his all-round bad net is sufficient to make It terest of society to have him put out of its way. Not even the Pennsylvania board of pardons could have the nerve to recommend that a rogue like Holmes should escape the penalty of his con fessed misdoing. Congressman Leiseming la learning the ropes rapidly. He has already given two elaborate dinners to fellow members from Pennsylvania, and the gubernatorial season Is still young enough to accommodate several more. Another street car strike in Philadel phia would mean another period of business disturbance, public Inconven ience and private loss. The losses would a dozen times outweigh all the possible gains. It is reported that several thousand pages of plate literary matter have been ordered by supporters of Senator Quay for use among the country pa pers. For effective booming purposes there's nothing that surpasses printers' Ink. TOLD BY THE STARS. Daily Horoscope Drawn by Ajaeehus, The Tribuno Astrologer.

Wellman, In the Times-Herald. Washington, April 26. There Is a strong feeling here that President Cleveland is trifling with the Cuban question, and that his current attempt to mediate and to bring about reforms in the Island are pre destined to failure. History is now repeat ing Itself. The efforts made by president Uralit and Secretary of State Hamilton Kish to induce Spain to settle the former Cuban Insurrection by granting reforms to the colony were treated by the Spanish statesmen In uuthurity precisely as tha present premier at .Madrid is treating tho well-meant but ineffective ettorts of Pres ident lieveland and Secretary Olney lu the same direction, lu other wolds, Spain is insincere, diplomatic, slippery. The Spanish government Is exceedingly polite to the United States. There Is noth ing else In the world which the Castillan diplomats are so fond of as graceful com pliment, sweet words und friendly expres sions. It Is their favorite way of throwing dust In the eyes of their neighbors. J have Information to the effect that Secretary Olney has no hope of home rule heiHK of fered Cuba, He does not believe the Span lards will go that fur. He is also suspi cious thut the reforms which Spain ex presses a willingness to offer the colony will ultimately prove delusive. In other words, the stntesmen at .Madrid, noted the world over for their insincerity und in direction, are merely playing with tho I'nited States. Whaf is the trouble with Mr. Cleveland? Why does he not respond In an effective way to the plain demands of American public sentiment concerning Cuba? I think 1 can give at kait a measurably satisfactory solution of the mystery. Mr. Cleveland's predominant trait as a public man is combatlveness. If there was not some one or something to quarrel with he would llnd it Impossible to be happy. Of lute his fad has been antagonism to congress. The president Is disgusted with congress, so are all his cabinet ottlcers, every one of whom tukes his cue from the chief. I am told hat Mr. Cleveland spends half his time cursing "the Idiots on the hill," meaning the senators and representatives who hold forth In tho big national statehouse on an eminence a mile and a half from the executive man sion. Nothing that congress does pleases Mr. Cleveland. Last fall Mr. Cleveland had determined to take a hand In the Cuban affair this spring. He was going to give Bpuln the winter as a day of grace, he was going to hold her to the promise made by the Span ish minister here to suppress the Insurrec tion In three months. The president looked forward to Cuban intervention of some sort as one of the great cards of his ad ministration, anil he did not fall to cal culate how much effect it would have upon public opinion In the elections of '!). His great fear was that congress would meddle In the matter. Last fall when the representatives of the Cuban Republic came to Washington they were warned by well-informed friends not to make an ef fort to secure action by congress. "It Is the president you must look to for any of feetive action." they were told," and If congress meddles with the question the president will be offended. He will turn against you out of pique." .Hi. Mr. Hitt never said a thing more bright or true when he said the resolution passed by both houses of congress by a voto al most unanimous would be "a mandate upon anyone but a king." Cut Mr. Cleve land Is more than a king. He Is drover Clevland.' Instead of listening to con gress, Instead of being moved by Us voice, he resents the Interference of that body. He thinks congress should attend strictly to Its constitutional business, and let foreign affairs alone. Every speech made In congress for Cuba helped to turn Cleveland to the side of Spain. Every fuet adduced as a reason why this government should take some effective action to stop the war and bring about Independence drove Cleveland farther and farther from his purpose. It is perfectly sate to say thnt If congress had tnken the initiative in the Venezuelan matter and demunded ap plication of the Monroe doctrine, Mr. Cleveland would have found an excuse tor Ignoring the request. It is also quite safe to say that If congress had let Cuba alone the. president and his able secretary t,f state would by this time have formulated the mediation and reform communique recently transmitted through Scnor de Lome. Change In the view, In the attitude of mind, In tho sources of Information sought and given credence to, wns noticeable In the administration Just as soon as congress look up the Cuban matter. Before con gress "meddled." as Mr. Cleveland puts it, there was a alneero desire on the part tr the administration to get at tho truth of the situation In Cuba. There was a fee ing that the reblllon had gone so far It could not be suppressed without virtual destruction of the Island. There was a feeling thut even If the present rebellion were crushed another would soon break out. and that permnnent peace and order in Cuba were Impossible. Hut after tho "meddling" of congress, members of the administration, taking their cue from the president hlmnelf.'ndopted more und morn the Spanish view. Where Senor Duptiy tie Lome hail ut. llrst found his wny dlfllcult and his trained cyo perceived great dan ger. It suddenly became easy. All that he had to suy was readily believed. It Is a lamentable fact, but a fact nevertheless, that at the present time the administra tion view of tho Cuban rebellion Is that the Insurrection Is sure to fall; that It is not supported by the Cubans or wealth and Influence; that It is participated in chiefly by Irresponsible negroes rnd ad-' venturers; that If by any chance the re bellion should succeed Cuba would be worse off than under Spanish rule, because negro domination would follow a military government. President Cleveland has come to the conclusion that wlU Inde pendence Cuba would be a second 8an Do- miugo. Thus the oresldenl of the Vnlted State baa taken a stand contrary to that of av great mtlorily or the people ami or con gress. The president may be rlghf, but the friends of t'uba complain ol1 the meth od by which he baa reached his conclu sion. S:nce congress "meddled" he has listened to but one side of the argument. Ills recent ertort to Induce Spain to accept mediation or to extend reforms In- Cuba was proiosed only after full discussion with the Spunlsh minister here. It as nrKiied in a wholly friendly spirit on both sides. There was nothing In it to which Hpaln objected. There Is small chance that it will amount to anything. Ho fur as the president is concerned, his hobby of "getting ahead of congress' appears to have led him into an attitude which the people are not likely to Indorse. At the same time it is only Just to Mr. Cleveland to say thut he believes the Venezuela af fair with Ureal Krituln should bo dis posed of before we seek any new inter national troubles,. and that his recent prof fer of Kood olllces may be only lae fore runner of more decisive and effective ac tion later on. Hut there is disappoint ment In Washington lircause the presi dent moves so slowly and ginueiiv, and there is Irritation because he sets himself up as more than the people, more than congress, and more than a king.
