Differing Standards.
That the vlew-pblnta ot the east are
in many respects different from those
of the west Is shown In more ways than
tlnance. It Is noted by many who at
tended the recent arbitration conven
tion at Washington that from the east
camo almost the only protest which
was uttered against war and etpecUlly
against those Implements and mechan
isms of war which a prudent regard for
the national safety deems desirable as
a reserve force in emergency; while
the west, with enthusiasm and
singleness of opinion, stood for a
larger navy, better coast defences,
an increased regular army and a spirit
of respectful but unflinching firmness
In the conduct of our foreign affairs.
Commenting upon this divergence of
sentiment, E. V. Smalley, himself a
delegate, writes to the Chicago Times
llerald: "Tha cenvertlcn was very
largely made up of college presidents
and professors, doctors of divinity and
retired politicians long past the com
bative period of life all men ot peace.
Still there was a considerable element
of delegates which applauded the sen
timent, which came from the far west,
that we have rights and duties In the
family of nations, and that to main
tain our rights and perform our duties
we must be a sea power; that we must
be prepared for war by coast defences
and an adequate navy to make our de
mands for arbitration effective; that
to extend our commerce we must show
our flag around the globe; that in the
midst of a world at arms, where great
nations are competing sharply for ter
ritory and for commercial advantages,
the United States cannot afford to rely
aolely on her moral influence. If the
doctors of divinity and the college
presidents and a few anglomar.laea
from New Tork and Boston had been
allowed to go on undisturbed the con
vention, called to consider In a business-like
way the best means of avert
ing war with the nation with which we
have the most conflicts of interest,
would have been turned into an old-
fashioned peace and non-resistance
meeting, such as the Quakers used to
hold every year in Philadelphia."
It la possible that Mr. Smalley draws
an exaggerated picture; yet the differ
ing" tendencies to which he" refers are
readily apparent to those who have
eyes to see. There may be virile men
and patriotic men in the east; there
are unquestionably plenty of them all
over this eastern country. Yet it is a
fact ot record that as the east has
grown citified and cultured t has
grown also, to a considerable extent.
Weak and anaemic. The drift of the
times in the east Is away from hard
common sense and toward anglomanla
or some kindred symptom of degenera
tion. Eastern people of the wealthier
class tend more and more to buy for
eign books, pictures and statuary; to
wed their daughters to foreign aristo
crats; to copy foreign social customs
and to fall gradually into the bad habit
of- imagining that whenever a differ
ence arises between the United States
and a foreign power the United States,
quit as a matter of necessity, is in the
wrong. It therefore follows that they
have little sympathy with manifesta
tions ot the American spirit, at which
they come in time to sneer and to which
they have applied, as If it alone set
tled the matter, the epithet of jingoism.
, This sneer is very faithfully expressed
In this month's Forum by that incom
parable exponent of Anglicanism In
' America, E. I. Godkln. He deprecates
the fact that the west has hitherto been
so busy reaping wheat and mining ore
that it has not yet accumulated the cul
ture which teaches that we, in America,
.re, after all, a crude and vulgar lot,
Who ought Immediately to humble our
selves before foreign Interests and con
sider it a compliment when Europeans,
with their many centuries of ancestors,
condescend to indicate to us what they
shtfuld like to have us do for them.
These are not his words. .The latter
art put In a much more grandiloquent
vein. But the foregoing is his Idea,
translated Into the language of the
herd. Because the west has not yet
been emasculated by "civilisation" suf
ficiently to cause It to fall In with his
more recherche Ideas ot. national duty
and destiny, Mr. Oodkln Is pleased to
bestow upon it, not only In the Forum
article, but in the columns of his Even
ing Post, his distinguished dlsapproba
tlon.
Yet crude as the western and middle
States may seem, when regarded from
the New York "or Ue Boston sUndpolnt,
they nevertheless are today the main
May of this republic in those essentials
upon which healthy civic life depends.
Until the anglomanlac fraction of the
.ost supplies the nation with a Lincoln,
It had better refrain from assuming
airs when brought Into comanioiishlp
with the middle west.
Representative Lelsenrlng. of Lu
serne, has made formal announcement
of his candidacy for the governorship In
1SK8. Mr. Lelsenrlng evidently agrees
with the adage that the early bird
stands the best show ot capturing the
worm.
Why Churches Are Not Filled.
Tenn," the Interesting special writer
of the Philadelphia Bulletin, estimates
that on an aveiage not more than ISO,
000 out of the Quaker City's J.2J0.000 In
habitants reguiarly attend church.
This, of course. Is meiely a guess, but
its accuracy can easily be verlHed.
There are, in round nu nbers, 600
churches In Philadelphia, nith an aver
age seating rapacity ot from 600 to 800.
If we take the lower figure we should
have, with tha churches half filled, a
regular average attendance of 1S0.0C0,
but it may be doubted It taking the year
through, the attendance will half fill
the total seating capacity. At all
events, we should be entirely safe in
saying- that not more than one Phlladel
phlan iu six is a regular attendant In
Scranton, where we have a more mixed
population, It is possible that the ratio
is still larger, averaging one in seven
or onu in eight..
One suggestion which "Penn" offers
as a remedy tor this large percentage ot
non-attendance may shock conserva
tive ears, but It at least la Interesting.
"It is related," he says
of Junius brutus Booth that hi delivery
of the aimiilo worus of thu Lord's prayii
was so Ki'und and puthetlc In its atimdi
euitlon a to move those who heurd it to
trembling und tears, of course no clergy
mini Is expected to make theatrical dis
play; but the story la sufficient to show
thut tho familiar language of the HI hi a,
which sometimes even Christians seem
to regard as trite and commonplace, cun
be illumined und vlvllleil and Hindu more
impressive to the ear of the multitude than
it is now wont to be. There is, indeed,
much that clergymen can learn from ac
tors in this resp't. Where one head or a
church can be found to read well the
"Sermon on the Mount," for Instance, a
score of ordinary actors could be sum
moned who would chain attention with
their recital of that splendid piece of rng
lish prose. Not Ionic ago I read of two
churches in Loudon that have been in the
ha lilt of Inviting actura to read the les
sons. It Is not dillicult to imagine how
these congregations, after having hitherto
heard the impressive und beautiful Ittn
KiiHKe of the church dlngdonaeil, Sunday
ufter Sunday, bewail to luok forward eag
erly to the comi:.B of the netors with their
expression of the noble and majestic spirit

ly neglected in most theological schools.
Carrying out this line ot thought, he
adds:
In order to build un a church there Is
nothing to important as a preacher who
is not simply a good man, but who has
something of the msgneilu quality, elo
quence and the executive faeully in short,
a Kood deal of the capacity for leadershio
The tlnest eonBrefialion that ever existed
is likely to fall into decline if it is not
served by a man of that stamp. There
scums to be a considerable class of clergy
men wno act on ine assumption tnat tne
churches exist for them rather than thov
for the churches. Yeur after year they go
along In a sort of perfunctory fashion, us
ir it were wrong lor inein to originate an
idea, to do something that their fathers
lid not do, to show that they are In warm
blooded sympathy with their times, or to
apply tneniseives to any practical prob
lem of the hour in which their people may
be reasonably suiiuo!ed to feel a live In
terest. They are often tho purest and
worthiest or men. i.mt they nave little
capacity for leaUershio: no currents of
thought that run ir. popular channels, no
enthusiasm thnt has survived the theolog
ical seminary, it is tne man at tne neaij
of the church that makes it. You will llml
that the great majority of prosperous
ana popular enurencs nave soma vigor

such a church Is known by tho name ot
its pastor rather than by its congrega
tional title. I might cite dozens of namos
In point, and In nearly every instance
you would find that they are men who

who find their texts In the hearts or men
rather than In the verbal pages of the
JilOle, wno ao not nerive inir nourish
ment In the preparation of their sermonH
solely from the shelves of their library,
who strike out as far as they can with
original thoughts, who find an application
for their eloquence in the streets of Phila
delphia, as well as in the highways or
Jerusalem, and yet who take care at nil
times not to descend to the tricks of tho
mongrel pulpiteers who turn themselves
into oratorical mountebanks in providing
sensational tnemes.
It is within range of truth to day that
the pulpit in Scranton today is more
forceful, eloquent and yet withal prac
tical than at any prior period in the
city's history. The man or woman who
wants to hear a good sermon, well
thought out and well delivered, a ser
mon touching live present subjects In
a sensible and helsful way, can have
that want supplied any Sunday at any
one of two-score or more local churches.
Comparatively few of our local pastors
now propound dry theology Sunday
after Sunday, with no Illuminative
flashes ot contemporary usefulness. The
great majority of them recognize the
propr'ety of preaching the spirit and
essence of religion without much refer
ence to sectarian dressing. At the same
time, 'the churches are not attended as
they should be. What is the reason?

New York's New Jury Law.
Very general interest will doubtless
be manifested In New Tork state's new
Jury law, which aims to facilitate Im
portant criminal trials. The law's es
sential features provide, upon order of
court, for a special jury made up from
3,000 picked names, the qualification of
each' Juror to be as follows:
He shall be a cltlsen of the United
States of at least ten years' standing and
a resident of the county; he shall not be
less than 30 nor more than 70 yearB of
age; he shall be in possession of his nat
ural faculties and not infirm; he shull
be of good moral character, of approved
integrity, Intelligent, of round judgment,
able to read and write tho Kngllsh lan
guage understanding, well Informed, and
shall have adequate knowledge of tho du
ties of a Juror. He must not have such
scruples or opinions as to the death pen
alty as would prevent him rinding a de
fendant guilty on trial for his life, nor
must there be selected any person who
doubts his ability to lay aside opinions or
impressions formed from newspaper read
ing or hearsay, and to render an Impartial
verdict upon the evidence, uninfluenced by
sur.h opinions or impressions; nor any
person who possesses such opinions as
wotdd prevent him llndlng a verdict of
Sullty in any case upon circumstantial evl
ence (nor any other person usually held
to be dlfqualllled for the trial of a crim
inal cause).
- It la Intended to have recourse to
these special juries In cases where, by
reason of exciting features, there Is
substantial tear that the ordinary Jury
trial may not be wholly impartial.
The ludicrous feature of the proposi
tion is that It calmly permits all other
cases to take their chances of a just
trial under a system which puts a
premium on talesmen's Ignorance and.
In fact if not In theory, rather encour
ages than discourages the placing ot
nincompoops In the jury box. But it
It be unsafe to entrust to unskilled
jurors the sifting of evidence In a case
involving lite and death, can It be less
dangerous to commit to such Jurors
the adjudication of property rights?
It Is possible that there are counties
In Xew York ttate wherein 3,000 men
can be found able to measure up to the
requirements set forth above; but it
there are many such counties, the fact
has never appeared in the ordinary
processes ot Jury-drawing under the
old law. When the Empire state fir. da
a Jury which fulfills the foregoing de
mands, we advise it to take no further
chances, but hire it for life and attach
it as a permanent feature to the courts.
In deference to the solicitation of
friends, ex-Representative E. A. Coray,
jr., of West Plttston, has consented to
be a candidate for the legislative nomi
nation In the Second Luzerne district,
which he so successfully represented in
1SS9, and It looks as If he would be un
opposed. Mr. Coray is a courageous
and a conscientious man, who would,
at Harrlsburg, do his duty regardless
ot pulls, caucuses or pressure. In him
the district would have a thoroughly
trustworthy representative, and one
who would comblne ability with legis
lative experience.

From the Philadelphia Times.
The rebellion in Cuba began just one
year ago, when Gomel and Alaceo landed
on the eastern extremity of the UlanJ
within a week of each otuer with a total
following of twenty-eight men. Since then
they have Increased their army to not
less than So,iW effective troops alreauv
armed, with nearly as many more ready
to join the inaurgotit forces if they could
be armed for battle. This army has trav
ersed and planted Its Hag In every prov
ince of Cuba, and to-day hold possession
of two-thirds of the province wherein tho
Spanish government doe not pretend to
excrcis authority, end the latest battle
fought between the Spanish and the pat
riot armies wits fought within a few milae
of the Spanish capital. Tho world has
been persistently denied by the Spanish
authority true information as to tho pro
gress of the rebellion, livery Insurgunt
leader of note has boen reported us killed
tune mid again, and repealed and circum
stantial accounts of victories by the Kiian
lh troops have been given to the world
wnen, in point oi met, tnere has not been
anything approaching a decisive defeat of
thd insurgents lrom the beginning of the
war until to-day. Notwithstanding the
facts that tho Spanish government has
sent to Cuba over 120.OJO troops, and thut
the ttdind t in places less than 4!) mlleu
wide, tho Spanish havo not been able at
any time to hinder -the march of Uumeg
and Mucco to any part of the Island they
ciioocH to Invade. While there have beer,
continued skirmishes between fragment!,
of the two armies, there have been two
conllicts v.iich may be Justly described as
pitched battles, In both of which the In
surgents were victorious. In the last,
lougiit only a few days ago by the llowor
of the Spanish army, tho Spanish attack
ing party was thoroughly routed, and was
saved from nnnildlatlon only by taking re
fuge under tho guns of the Spanish fleet.
It Is Idle to talk about adjustment of tha
dllllcultles between the Spanish govern
ment mid tht,'ubans, for that Is Impossi
ble. The promised reforms embraced in
the peace that ended the last ten years
w-ar, were refused to the Cuban people, j
rur more mail u century me wrongs or
tho Spanish government have been borne
by the hapless residents of -the Island, and
every material pledge of reform made by
Spain has been violated. There can be
no suppression of tho rebellion In Cuba
excepting by the utter extermination of
the Cuban people. They are substantially
united In their cause. They understand
well that they must either triumph by
the overthrow of tho Spanish domination
in Cuba or they must suffer death or
transportation. To reconcile such oppos
ing forces is not within the range of pos
sibility, and the world must accept the
fact, that the Cuban rebellion cannot bo
suppressed by force of arms. It is claimed
that the international laws regulating the
recognition of belligerent rights, require
the existence of a de facto government
that Is thoroughly established and exer
cising all the functions of power. Tlil.i
ho Cubans do not possess, and yet they
govern Cuba to-day outside of thu Span
ish capital of Havana, and they have gov
erned it for fully six months past. They
havo a nominal administration without
means to establish courts, postal routes,
etc., and actual exercise of power is im
possible. The government of Cuba Is to
day In the army of Uoniei, and Its su
premacy is absolute, as Spanish authority
Is guarded by Spanish bayonets In a little
corner of the Island. Every substance ot
the laws of belligerent rights is on the side
of the Cubans, while the technical shad
ows are against them. There Is much
more law to-dny for the recognition ot the
belligerent rights of the Cubans than
there was for President Lincoln issuing
his emancipation proclamation. That act,
that now stands out as the most illustri
ous hitman achievement of the century,
was forbidden by every law of the land,
and yet the name of Lincoln is Immortal
because bo met the supreme necessities of
the time by looking solely to the safety of
tho Republic.
It must be accepted by every dispas
sionate observer of the situation In Cuba
that Spain cannot suppress the rebellion,
and one of two things should be speedily
done by the civilized nations of the world.
They should either unite to halt Spain
and demand an adjustment acceptable to
the Cuban people In the Interest of hu
manity and In the material interests of
all the great nations, or they should give
the Cuban Insurgents belligerent rights
by which they would speedily achieve
their own Independence. The American
citizens have over $30,000,000 Invested in
the mines and sugar estates of Cuba, and
England and France have doubtless quite
as many millions invested by their citi
zens. In addition to this England and
Franco nre large holders of Spanish se
curities based upon the revenue of Cuba
which are certain to be utterly destroy sd
if the war should continue. It can hardly
be disputed at this late day that If the
present war shall continue for another
year, the entire island of Cuba will be
desolated by tho extreme necessities of a
lerolc people atruggllng for "their Indopen
dnce. Those material interests alone
should lnoplre every civilized government
of the world to Intervene and halt what
Is now simply savage butchery.
But there are' h'Jgher considerations
which enter Into the Cuban question. The
civilised nations of the world confess obe
dience to tho Bupremo laws of humanltv.
Of all the wars of the century that in
Cuba la the most barbarous and murder
ous, and it must grow In ferocity as it
continues. If the material Interests of the
civilized world shall not call for Interven
tion, the law of humanity demands that
the Cubans shall have something ap
proaching equal rights by their recogni
tion as belligerents. That done by the
single government of the United States
would terminate the conflict within three
months, and whatever the other civilized
governments of the world shall do, 'he
duty ot the United States to Intervene by
recognizing the insurgents as belligerents
should be accepted as paramount. This
government has not been In any way te-spon.-Ible
for the Cuban rebellion, but It
must henceforth bo Justly responsible for
continued butchery and devastation it It
shall refuse to recognize tha admittedly
controlling power In Cuba as a de facto
government.
