Senator Quay undoubtedly knows his own business best, but there are many Rood friends of his who would not shed tears If he were to five Tom Piatt the shake. A Singular Delusion. Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, has con tributed to the June Forum a paper In which he undertakes to prove that the election of United Stutes senators by direct popular vote will (1) afford an efficient remedy for the many evils re sulting from the present system of senatorial elections such ns length of time consumed and frequent failure to choose, and the consequent distraction of the legislative mind from Its proper business; 2) discourage the use of im proper means to Influence the control of senatorial elections; CD greatly di minish the temptation to gerrymander (4) enlarge the political rights of the in dividual voter relating to suffrage; (5) eliminate from elections Involving tho selection of members of the legislature one great cuuse for Irritation and un seemly contention wherein as a rule the question upon which everything is made to turn Is as to how this or that inun will vote for senutor, rather than upon the question as to his fitness for the oflice of legislator; and (C) effec tively tend to the destruction of "boss rule." With due respect to Senator Mitchell, whose argument we have not yet perused In full, but await with expect ancy, we must say in advance that we lack fuith In his platform. It seems to us thut only two of his points are wor thy of serious consideration, the first and fifth; and In reply to both of them we submit that If the people cannot bo trusted to elect as their representatives In the state legislatures men fit to do the duty therein now delegated to them, they could not with reason be .expected to exhibit a greater measure of trust worthiness if they should be permitted to choose their United States senators by direct vote. If they are hoodwinked under the one arrangement, they would be hoodwinked under the other; and no improvement In the system of elections would cause the political stream to rise higher than Its fountain head. The ad vocates of change confuse the effect with the cause. The cause of bad sena torial representation and indifferent state legislatures Is not tbe fact that senators are elected by legislatures; it Is the fact that the mass of citizens who elect the state legislatures do not take pains to see that fit men are chosen to represent them. So long as they are thus lax In their electoral duty, It will work no permanent good to tinker with the machinery of elections. It will be Imply labor wasted. It seems very strange to us that so many people should rest under delu Blon on this point. Mkola Tesla, the electrician, has, it Is claimed, perfected a light as steady as the sun and twice as brilliant as any now In use, besides costing CO per cent less. Let us hope Tesla will soon get his light on the market. How Spain Fights. Some interesting testimony was civ ven last Wednesday before a sub-commltt tee of the senate committee on foreign af fairs by Rev. Alberto J. Diaz, a native Cuban who had for many years been Paptlst minister in this country, but who had, more recently, been pastor a church of 2,700 communicants in Hav ana, from which city he was recently expelled by Weyler. At the time of his arrest and expulsion he was actinir the president of a White Cross society which aimed to relieve the sufferings of those sick and injured In battle. Rev. Mr. Diaz declared that the Cu ban army numbered 50,000 men while Spain s effective force was not greater than 70.000. He thought Spain would rive up the fight within six months, but contended that though she were to continue It for thirty years she could not subdue Cuba. The insurgents, he aid, are refraining from general en gagements because they consider that when the rainy season begins, yellow fever and dysentery will play more havoc among the Spanish troops than oil their bullets could. But the most interesting part of Rev. Mr. Diaz's testimony related to the bru tality of the Spanish. He gave several Incidents which hud come under his per sonal observation, and which ho said he could substantiate. "In one case" we quote from the Washington Post's report of the committee hearing "a woman who was assisting her husband In the field wan shot, their only offense being that they were Cubans. Another east was at Cluatao, where the Spanish soldiers killed six or seven men, non combatants. Then the Spaniards went Into different houses and gathi red sev enteen rm-n. They tied these together two by two, among them being Ladlslao Quintero. an American, twenty-one years old. of Key West, who was found sick in bed. They were taken to the street and commanded to kneel down. The soldier tired at them, killing all ex cept the American. This occurred on February 22, In the Immediate presence of the wives and children of the unfor tunate men. Amadar. to whom tuln tro was tied, was not killed by the gunshot wound and one of the sjldiers stepped forward and beat hint to death. Dr. Vina saw the entire proceeding." Hut this is not all. The report con tinues: On the 13th of March, In Havana, lie saw a crowd u round a pro-it rate man, unci ns a menibor of the White OniM society he went to rynili-r hfm uld. The man was ileail. He hail srvemy-one bayon et wounds. s-ven of which were through Hie h-art and several taiouiin me ii-.. 1 he iler l apparently was unprovoked, u'"l the niur.kivil man was tmarmeil, lr. Diaz says in March tie S;ja!ilh troops, miller ileuei-al Ir.rlun. honib.t: ilr-il an Insur gent hospital at Artemlst. They killed over fifty wounded men. An l!!siirg..-ut hospital In r'az.i Heal was nlo destroyed hy the Spaniards killln;? nil the v.-ound.'d lliinntes. Two hundred Cuban were re. ported ns huviiiK been In II. lr. Diaz xlves other Instances of iilloit.'d cruelties hy the Spaniards. He asserts that the approach of the Spaniards to t ho in terior towns Urines k it'll t contusion an.i fear, us they destroy everylhinii that comes In their way. take complete pos.-es-slon of the houses, and violate women in many cases. . hen ihe invadliiK foive nre Instirtrcnt there is great tranquility, as thev do not destroy anything unless Spanish forces are lo'-.iteil there. Aiieln he tells of the assasiivition, on the Nth of April, of a n umber of persons after Ir.' inir forced bv the Spaniards to ill thci'- own graves. The statement asserts that over u hundred pers.ms w;-re shut wtttitn n radius of ten mil's of Havana and with in n period of llftven days, ull non-eomba:-uuts. Rev. Mr. Diaz added that while Cam pos had command, the rules of civilized warfare were strictly enforced by his orders, but as soon as Weyler assumed command, he (Diaz) and others were instructed not to treat or otherwise enre for the sick una wounded soldiers of the Insurgent cause. This and much rlmilnr testimony was given In a man ner which Is said to have carried con viction. Anyway, it would seem ns if the word of a clergyman In good stand ing ought to go as far with our govern ment as the special pleading of the Spanish minister, who naturally tries to earn his salary by making out the strongest possible case for his employ ers. , And still Cleveland hesitates. The Interesting news Is published that Major Handy expects to get the consul generalship to London when McKlnley Is president. Major Handy was the first and the ablest McKlnley journal ist, ninl that $:i3,000-a-year remem brance would be not a whit beyond his deserving. Hut how will Brother Scranton like Hnndy's candidacy? The New Immigration Bill. The bill to further restrict Immigra tion, which passed the house on Wednesday by a vote of 195 to 26, ex cludes from admission to the United States all male persons between 10 and BO years of age who cannot both read and write the Kngllsh language or some other language. The parents of for eigners now In this country are ex empt; so that aliens now here who wish to have their parents come to America can do so by proving the fact of relationship. This measure, it will be seen, rejects the Stone principle t of consular cer tification abroad and embodies the sub stance of the Lodge literacy test. It Is assqmc-d by this bill that the steam ship companies will not sell tickets of passasge to illiterate immigrants when they realize that all rejected passengers will have to be returned at their ex pense. The Immigration league esti mates that if the foregoing principle hnd been In force during the past ten years, not less than a quarter of a mil lion Immigrants who are now In this country would have been kept out. Another feature of the bill thut prom ises to produce Interesting results If the measure shall become a law Is the fact that It prohibits the temporary immigration of Canadians. It was claimed by the sponsors of this provision that at present thousands of Canadians enter border Amer ican towns, get work and high wages without adopting American citizenship. and go back with their earnings to Canada. The section putting a stop to this practice, and limiting admissions to those who are willing to declare their intention of becoming American citizens was adopted by a vote of 121 to 45, and now Canada threatens to re tallate. We are not sure that the evil suffered from the temporary Canadian Influx warrants the extreme remedy here con templated. Theoretically, of courts, those who earn their living In the Unit ed States ought to be willing to settle down In this country, declare allegl ance to it and give to the community whence they derive their livelihood the benefits of their residence. But prac tically the barring of Canadians would be likelier to cause trouble than to do good. The other features of the bill, however, are excellent, and the senate- Is recommended to concur In their en actment. , The suggestion is made that when Tom Reed goes to New York to practice law he ought to form a partnership with Orover Cleveland. But who would bo the head of the firm? The New Flying Machine. The recent test, at Oscoquan, Va., of Professor Samuel P. Langley's Hying machine an apparatus upon which Its Inventor has been at work for nearly six years, and In the development of which he had expended $00,000 was noted at the time, somewhat briefly, ill The Tribune; but the subjwt Is of nut- fleent Importance to warrant a more extended reference. We have been try ing for several days to find an account of tho machine and of thd testing of It which would be Intelligible to unscien tific readers, but the search has not yet been very successful. Protocol' Alex ander Graham Bell, howaven. who has for some time been In co-opnratlnn with Professor Langley In this' enterprise, gives a pretty clear description of how the machine was tested, how it looked and how It acted. Says ho: "The aerodrome, or 'flylnjr machine,' Id hullt of steel, driven by a steam engine, It resembled an enormous bird, soarltm in the air with extrcoiB regularity In larje curves, sweeping steadily upward In a spiral path, the spirals with a diameter of pi-rhaua loo yards, until It reached a height of about loo feet tu the air. at the end of a course of about a half-mile, when the steam auve out und the propellei-j which had moved it stopped. Then, to my further surprise, the whole. Instead of tmnblliiKiiown. settled as slowly und grace, fully as it U possible for any bird to do, touched the water without any dama.io and was immediately picked out and ready to be tried ugain. A second trial was like the ilrst, except that the machine wnt in a different direction, moving in one. continuous gentle usient as it swung around In circles like a treat soaring bird. A! one time it seemed to bo in dan ger, as its course carried it over a neigh boring wooded promontory, but appre. henston was Imtiieulutely allayed us It passed twenty-live or thirty feet above the tops of lh highest trees trere. und, ascending stlil further, ltd pteurn llnally gave out again, and 11 settled into th waters of the river, not quite a quarter of a mile from the point at which It arose. No one could have witnessed these expert mrnts without being convinced that the pra.-tlcablllty of mechanical fl'ght hiii been demonstrated." From other sources it Is learned that the principle In the Langicy aero drome Is not unlike that In the more familiar Maxim alr-shlp. The power of the engine excited upon atmospheric screws, driven at a high rate of speed, propels the aerodrome agalnnt the at mosphere at such an angle as will cause It to riso and slide, as Prof, li-11 says, like a skater going rapidly over thin ice. In practice It is expected to make a voyage by n-.c-ans of a series of as cents and descents, the impact of the Machine against the atmosphere giving steerage way and ascensional force at the same time. The next step will be o build a larger machine with stronger engine power. In order to carry one passenger beside the opeiatoi- for a con tinuous Journey of ninny miles without depeent. Professor Langicy estl.cates thnt a. vehicle will he r.eeiclso largo as to cost J125.000, and covering two years In Its construction. He proposes to be gin work on the Imgcr machine nt once, ut tit this co.it the stirfnce railroads need not fear early competition. ProfcFEor (lolihvln Smith, who hus been discussing the American senate In a London periodical. Muds much to ap prove, but he confesses that he cannot see the justice granting to Nevada, with a population only a little larger than thnt c.f Hyde Park or Wilkes- Uarre. equal representation to that of New York state, with Its D.009.000 Inhab itants. There are others in the same dilenuuu. And yet the present chair man of the House committee on terri tories wants to admit New Mexico und Arizona, and give them twice Pennsyl vania's representation In the senute, when the population of both combing Is only u little larger than that of Lack awanna county. Kdward Lauterbach, chairman of tho New York county Republican commit tee, is credited in an interview with these singular words: "Owins to his quibbling on the money question, if Ma jor McKlnley Is nominated at St. Louis he cannot carry tho state of New York, and cannot be elected president of the United States." Mr. Lauterbach's opinion fortunately is not of sufficient weight to make Its expression danger ous to anybody but himself. The convention of German Catholics which met at Pittsburg the other day had a perfect right tu condemn com pulsory education If It wanted to; but we question its wisdom in urging that Its membership refuse to send their children to the public schools. The public schools could get along just the same; but any attempt to discredit or oppose them would be likely to create more evil than good.
