-
What the Nation Expects.
Notwithstanding- the queerness of
much of the iirtscnt administration's
diplomacy it may, w think, lie fairly
ttissumed that tin- dt-imrtmi-nt of state
will take effectual steps to secure jus
tice for the two Atnerlcnns who were
on Saturday condemned to death at Ha
vana urion the chnrffo of filibustering,
f'oncedluif, us we apparently must, the
Keneral proposition that the adminis
tration Is prejudiced In Spain's favor,
yet the Tact that the particulars of the
farcical trial of these two citizens of
the I'nlted States have been communi
cated through the newspapers to the
country will, we imagine, secure from
our executive his prompt and decisive
Interposition. For not even the obstin
acy of Grover Cleveland could, with
congress in session, in our judgment,
suffice to withstand the public senti
ment which will bear down upon Wash
ington with a demand for official action
In this now conspicuous Instance,
Overriding1 the protest of Consul Oen
eral Williams and the mere fact that
this aged and supine official should
for once have been aroused from his
lethargy and Incited to activity gives
plausibility to each subsequent asser
tion made In the dispatches from Ha
vanathe Spanish authorities In the
Cuban capital have, it appears, rushed
these two Americans to trial, deprived
them of a knowledge of the charges
against them, denied them the si'lection
of their own counsel and refused to
permit them to call witnesses for their
defence. Seemingly the only evidence
introduced was the fact that these two
men, together with three companions,
were captured abroad the Competitor,
a vessel causht by the Spanish while
endeavoring to convey munitions of war
to the Cuban Insurgents. The claim of
Owen Milton, the Kansuli, that he
Joined the filibustering party as a news
paper correspondent was disregarded,
as was that of Alfredo Labordo, of
New Orleans, that ho took passage in
Ignorance of the ship's mission. These
claims mny both be false. The two
men may justly deserve punishment ac
cording to the laws which govern expe
ditions of this one's character. Hut It
cannot for one Instant be admitted that
their lives, or the lives of any other
number of American citizens, mny bo
dcclured forfeit by Spain upon a pro
cess of inquiry In which only the prose
cution's cose is permitted to be pres
ncnted. Nor Is the argument satisfactory that
Wf: must not question the fairness of
the legal processes of another govern
ment. To nil general principles of In
ternational law there arc possible ex
ceptions; and if an exception may ever
be taken with the certainty that con
science will approve, It mny be taken In
a case like tho present, where not only
in this ono Instance, but in all instances
involving political considerations the
impartiality of Spanish Judicial proce
dure in Cuba is challenged by men
whose characters for truthfulness and
rectitude may not be Ignored. In u case
like tho present, the letter of Interna
tional law dissolves into unimportance
compared with Its obvious and com
manding spirit; and the consideration
that American citizenship shall be fully
and thoroughly protected rises para
mount to all the risks of criticism and
all the hazards even of possible war.
That caution, too, is demanded needs
no assertion; but cnutlon must not de
generate Into indifference, nor circum
spection move with ho slow a tread as
to be out run by foreign injustice revel
ing in thn softness of American dtplo
acy. With reference to the proposition
that Americans present to the English
city of Bristol' a statue of Sebastian
.Cabot in commemoration of the four
hundredth anniversary of tho comple
tion of the first of the voyages of dis
covery undertaken by the Cabots, who
were Bristol folk, and to whom wo
owe tho fact that the inuinland of
North America fell under English
rather than under Spanish or Portu
guese domination, tho Kochester Posf
Kxpress suggests that; Just now we
cannot -afford It, -t adding, by way ot
pleasantry: , "Really, we can't bo al
ways saying that we are glad we're
found. Somebody .ought to say that
they are glad .they discovered us, that
the pleasure Is also theirs;1' Somebody
ought, indeed; and since the Spanish,
in their present temper, are not likely
' to, jrhy. shouldn't the EnglithT They.
seem to have made more oat of Ameri
ca during the past four years than any
other class.
Speaker IJeed fhou'd net despair.
The presidency is an honor worth try
ing for more than one?.
Trouble Concerning Passports.
It appears that the officials of Wur
tembcrg have relapsed Into the bad
German habit of questioning the valid
ity of American passiiorts. The United
States has uniformly Insisted that its
passiiorts shall be deemed prima facie
evidence of lawful citixenshlp. Hut the
smurt authorities of this German city
prefer to follow their own Intuitions
on thla point, and the result is that our
state department has had to call them
clown. The affair hus not yet reached
a conclusion, the Imperial foreign ofllce
at fierlin having manifested a disposi
tion to confirm the Wurteniberg ofteml
era in their large conceit. Hut that it
will work out amicably and to the en
tire satisfaction of this government can
hardly be doubted, despite the mildly
contemptuous but nevertheless exas
perating opinion prevalent throughout
Germany touching America dud Ameri
cans. H is possible thnt we ourselves are
Indirectly to blame for this ruflllng in
cident. The language employed on the
American jwrpoi t blank hi such us to
invite contemptuous treatment from
foreigners swelled with brief authority.
AVe say in effect: "This Is to certify
that Is a citizen of the
l.'nitod States, mid as such tho Ameri
can government requests that he re
ceive from other governments the
privileges usually accorded to the cltl
sens of a f riendly power," etc. But the
ilrltlsh, both wiser and more decisive,
in their passports insert, after the
word "requests" the words "nnil re
quires"; and the pledge thus given is
kept to the letter. Thus while the of
ficious petty authorities of Europe have
a chronic habit of indicating a highly
developed sense of their great Import
ance when they peruse an American
passport, their air changes instinctive
ly into one of marked deference before
the august seal of Great Britain.
This year many thousands of our fellow-citizens
will travel in Europe. We
may question their wisdom in spending
iliHi.OM.OiiO ot American gold In foreign
hinds at u time when we lind it so very
hard to get hold of gold at all at home.
We may suggest that while European
travel Is Informing, there are portions
of America of which the same can also
be suld. lint so long as this tide of
Yankee tourists annually ebbs and
Hows across the Atlantic, It Is from
every standpoint desirable that those
who go armed with the official pass
ports of the I'nlted States government
shall be protected while abroad from
needless annoyance and that the seal
which is stamped on their credentials
of citizenship shall, In foreign cities, be
vouchsafed common courtesy and re
spect. If line delicacy of diplomatic In
timations shall not suffice to secure
these desirable considerations, then it
might behoove our department of state
to destroy Its old passport form and
Imitate In a new form the more robust
phraseology of the United Kingdom.
The interesting fact is recalled by
the Chicago Times-Herald that with
the exception of James K. Polk, who
was the first successful "dark horse,"
no speaker of the house of representa
tives has ever been elected president.
On the contrary, several speakers have
been elected to the vice-presidency.
This is a timely pointer for Speaker
Reed.
Hrs. Baldwin's Opportunity.
The Baldwins have reached Pitts
burg, where Mrs. Baldwin informs a re
porter that she was always considered
queer. "When quite a little girl," she
adds, "I used to see and hear things
that other people couldn't. People
called me silly, and my mother used to
take me to the family physician, think
ing I wna really out of my head. I can
hardly explain how I work. I see the
person who wrote the question as in a
cloud. If the paper is placed against
my forehead, everything becomes clear
and as though magnified. When the
seance is over all that has transpired Is
forgotten, except a shadowy remem
brance like we remember dreams. No, I
cannot answer all questions. For in
stance, I seldom tell people when they
die. And I never reveal the names of
criminals in a noted case. For this
reason I will not tell the real murderers
Of Pearl Bryan in public. It would
prejudice the trial."
This forbearance on the part of the
"While Maliatma" Is unquestionably
kind; but It occurs to us at the moment
that Mrs. Baldwin really owes it to so
ciety to attach herself in a eonfldsr.tial
capacity to the courts of Justice, so
that, in murder trials after the jury has
rendered a decision, she might be able
to inform the presiding Judge whether
the condemned man is innocent or
guilty. This would save our courts
from the disagreeable necessity of tak
ing, every now and then, an Innocent
life, us a consequence of the habit of
loading up juries with timber unfit to
exist in a retreat for imbecility.
The Washington Post has made the
first cabinet guess. As a curiosity it is
worthy of reproduction. Here it is:
For secn-turjL! of state, John Sherrran,
of .Ohio; for secretary of war, II. Clay
Evani), of Tennessee; for secretary of
agriculture, John W. Gowdy, of
Indiana; for secretary of the In
terior, Ex-Governor Merrlam, of Min
nesota; for attorney general, Hor
ace Porter, of New Tork; for sec
retary of the treasury, M. A. Hanna,
ct Ohio: for secretary of the navy, M.
H. lie Young, of California, and for
postmaster general, Gilbert H. Hobart,
of New Jersey. Hns the Post anything
against Mujor McKlnley?
Mrs. Baldwin, the "White Mahatma."
told iv Pittsburg Inquirer last Monday,
that Allison would be the next presi
dent. When In Scran tun It will be re
membered that she predicted Heed's
election. If she keeps on guessing long
enough she will undoubtedly be correct.
William E. Curtis, the Washington
representative of the Chicago Record,
adds his mite to the fund of testimony
showing that Senator Quay's opposi
tion to McKlnley has had nothing per
sonal behind It.- Says he; 'During the
entire contest Quay has always spoken
In kindly tones of Major McKlnley, and
only a few evenings ago he sternly re
buked one of his lieutenants for some
ugly things he had said in the news
tapers about McKlnley and Hanna."
It was Senator Quay's right to try to
secure the St. Louis nomination him
self. It will be his privilege to help
elect the man who beats him in conven
tion. From a "special" dated in Wall street
and appearing In the Philadelphia
Stockholder, we are told with that
sapient and profound air which always
characterises anonymous deliverances
touching speculative Interests that "the
financial community here and abroad
does not favor ev-Governor McKiulcy
for the presidency. If It should hap
pen." this same oracular "special" goes
on to say. "that the St. Louis conven
tion nominates him, the chances arc
Europe would cease to buy more of our
securities, and not unlikely to send
over a lot of them. The stock market
must, in these circumstances, go down."
This is truly alarming. But there Is
possibly some consolation In the fact
that If foreign owners of American se
curities want to sell on a falling mar
ket, they can most likely be accommo
dated with plenty of American buyers,
who will be glad to get good securities
at u discount. Much us we seem dis
posed to concede to foreigners these
days It is hardly probable that we shall
for some time yet have to ask the
bankers of London and Hamburg
whom we may nominate for president.
It probably is true that President
Cleveland's devotion to civil service re
form is Intensified by the nearness of
his party's stcpplng-out time. But
when we consider how long a period
will liUervene before that party will
again get a glimpse of federal spoils, it
becomes somewhat difficult to blame
him.
Mr. Hariity says he regards McKln
ley as the easiest opponent the Demo
crats could have. We will consider that
ptopositlon In the morning of Nov. 4.
SPEAKER REED'S MISTAKE.
Walter Wellmuu's WushlnRton Letter
In the Ititsburg Uaily News.
Speaker Heed l naturally much disap
pointed at the outcome ot his campaign
for the presidency. A few months aito hi a
fiiemJs were very conlldent that he would
be the choice of his parly this year for the
highest ofllce In the government. When
congress assembled last December and
Mr. Keed wu was triumphantly elected
speaker, few otiM-rvers foresaw that in
four of live months he would fall so far
to the rear as a presidential quantity. The
great personality of the man, his admit
ted intellectual force, his past leadership,
the friendship of bo me of the most power
ful politicians In the country and the vast
power lying in his hands as the chief spirit
of the house of representatives gnve ev
ery one a right to think that If Mr. Keed
did not actually become the nominee of his
party he would be well up in the ballot
ing. Now it is not Improbable thut his
name will be withdrawn. While his
friends were not long since very confident
of the outcome. I happen to know that
Mr. Iteed himself has never had anything
more than a hope. He has never felt any
thing approaching confidence. At the
sumn time he feels keen disappointment
at the sorry showing made by the canvass
In his behalf, and is particularly sad be
cause of the result In several of the New
England states, where it Is admitted the
speaker has not fared as well as hud been
expected. Mr. Reed now admits in conver
sation with his frlendi .that he made one
great mistake of policy when he first came
to Washington last winter. When he an
nounced un ultra conservative policy In
the management of the house by saying
that the country would approve this con
gress as much for what It did not do rs
for what It did do, the- first blunder was
committed. Mr. Reed announced this pol
icy upon the advice of friends. He was
not originally In favor of It, but yielded
to their arguments and representations.
Now he wishes he had not.
Speaker Reed realizes that he had come
to occupy a certain place In the imagina
tions and affections of the people. He was
looked up to almost universally as the man
of action, as the man of courage, as the
man who taught the house of representa
tives how to do business, as the man of
construction. The congress met with the
country in distress. Hard times were still
upon the people. There was a demand for
relief, for action of Borne sort, and even
though the conditions at this capital were
such as to niHke successful legislation well
nigh impossible on account of the pecu
liar composition of the senate and with
a Democrat In the 'white house still on
effort to afford relief through the house of
representatives would have relieved Mr.
Reed of his share of the responsibility.
Had he taken the Initiative and pushed
through some measures designed to Im
prove the condition of affairs the people
would have applauded him, even though
failure marked the effort in another de
partment of the government. All this the
speaker now perceives when it la too late
II II II
Even more disastrous has been the effect
of the policy which was accepted by the
popular mind concerning Mr. Reed him
self. A man is to the country not what he
mny think he Is or what his Immediate
friends and advisers may think, nncl pos
sibly not that which he Is at all, but only
thut which the country has made him In
Its imagination. Having once attained a
certain ideal in tne popular mind, a public
man must live up to It, must be nieaxiiivo
by that standard, or he Is nothing. Keed
had been Idealized as the man of action
and courage, as the cavalier of legislation
riding a great charger and armed and
helmeted for the fray. But he fulled to
realize this Ideal. He was unable to per
ceive that, so far as tho country was con
cerned, he was this sort of a creature or
he was nothing. When he announced his
policy of practical do nothlnglsm, of paus
ing the appropriation bills and going hoin?
he destroyed the Ideal -which the people
had formed of him. In saying this it does
not imply that he was wrong in his con
clusion as to what was the wisest thing for
the house of reprencntativcs to do. He
did what he thought was the best for the
country, and did it unselllshly. Hut the
country never appreciated It. The peo
ple wanted action. They felt there was
something wrong in our system of govern
ment, something wrong In legislation, lest
we should not have the hard times, and
they wanted an effort made to afford re
lief. They have not been satisfied with ex
planations. They have not been enthusi
ast ie about the policy of economy. They
have not thrown their hats In the'nir over
the prospect of an early adjournment.
II II II
Other mistakes were made by the Keed
managers. Kor Instance, they should
have called all the New England conven
tion: early In the year. They were ad
vised to do this by the mnnagers for other
presidential candidates who were making
common eaupe against McKlnley. Hut
the Keed people thought there was no
doubt whatever about New England. Tliev
had no fear of McKlnley making Inroads
there. Now they perceive their mistake.
The status of the campaigning might be
very different from what It is today if Con
necticut, New Hampshire and Vermont
Republicans, had been culled to meet very
enrly In the year and hail declared plain
ly for Keed, as. It Is admitted they would
have declared some time ago. The delay
was fatal. Another thing the Reed cam
paign hus demonstrated Is that the speak
ership of the house Is a poor place from
which to seek the presidency. In organ
izing committees he Is forced to offend
about as many men us he pleases. Tim
same thing is true of legislation ami appro
priations. Everything that Is done has
two fides, is a two-edged sword. Again
It Is clearly demonstrated that congress
men are failures us agents to secure the
election of delegates to a national conven
tion. The average congressman exhausts
his personal cupltal in securing his own i'e.
nomination and re-election, and any ut
tempt on his part to dictate as to presi
dential choice or delegutes Is likely to bo
resented. Kor this reason many of Mr.
tieed's Investments In committee chair
men have turned out badly.
THE PROPER TICKET.
From the Chicago Times-Herald.
The Times-Herald had the honor of be
ing the first newspaper In tho country to
nominate Thomas H. Keed, cf Maine, for
vice-president of the I'nlted Btatoi. Tho
suggestion was received with enthusiasm
and seconded all over' the country. In
some quarters, however, there was ap-
fiarent a disposition to construe the nom
nation as an Invitation to Reed to pet out
of McKlnley'a way, and some chose to re
gard it as a belittling of Mr. Reed's claims
and qualincatlon for the ttrst pluce on
the ticket Nothing was further trom our
Intention. The nomination was made in
good faith, and we take occasion te re
new it in thn same spirit now that Major
McKlnl.-y'a success at St. Louis is Kyotid
all doubt. The fart thnt .Mr. lUvd is
worthy in all respects to till the presi
dential chair la one reason why we urg4
hi nomination for vice-president. There
Is no brainier man In public life. He tilts
the measure of statesmanship, ills prin
ciples are sound, his record Is flawless,
he is courageous in the highest degree he
has been faithful to every trust. His
bearing in this canvass while speaker of
the house has been such aa to command
the reaped and admiration of the peo
ple. .
It Is high time to restore the vlce-prest-ib-ncy
to the old standard. An office which
has boen held by such men as John Ada ma,
Thomas Jefferson, John C. Calhoun, Mar
tin Van Bure.ii, John O. Breckinridge. Han
nibal Hamlin, Henry Wilson, Chester A.
Arthur and Levi P. Morton is big enouch
for any man. and Thomas B. Keed is big
eiiouKh to till It. Too often, however, il
h is been made an afterthought, to be given
without mature consideration at the l.isl
moment as a nop fur u disappointed fac
tion or to the highest bidder in contribu
tions for the campaign fund. No thank
to anybody if these afterthoughts have in
rome cases resulted In judicious selec
tions. With the questloti of the presidency
set.tled.six week before the meeting of the
national convention, the Kepubllean party
may give the vlce-pivaldeiiey the atten
tion which It deserves, but seldom re
ceives. Such deliberation can only
strengthen the conviction that Mr. Rued
la the man for thn place.
II It II
Another consideration Is that Mr. Ree.1,
above all other men, is urfded as a pre
sitting uliicer of the senate. As speaker
of the house of representatives his genius,
common sense and courage reetilled par
liamentary utilises of a century's growth.
Ho cut the Uordian knot of legislative
Inaction. He fairly made the members
of the house attend to their business and
tied them to discharge of duty by rules
which have now almost the force of law.
The senate, with the advent of the Tlll
ninns and the t'ettlgrews, has drifted Into
methods of debate which have attained
the proportions ot a national scandal.
On the other hand. It is encrusted with
traditions which make the revolution of
the wheels of legislation almost Im
possible. Heed's common sense is noedej
to lubricate the machinery by doing away
alike with the rust of the old senators and
the rawness of the new. No ordinary man
is equal to this work. Here Is a man made
for tho purpose.
i: ii il
But will Mr. Reed accept? Why not?
When has he ever shirked public duty?
Let the nomination t given him, not In
trade, not grudgingly, not as a consola
tion prize, but with ethuxiasm, with una
nimity. Thus tendered, a vice-presidential
nomination is an honor and leads to a
sphere of public usefulness which any
man might be proud to accept.
McKlnley and Heed. Thnt is the ticket.
