It Is high time that tho promised vigor
ous Cuban pulley put In an appearance.
What lias Consul General Lee to ay
about the status of the Cuban revolu
tion? As to Morton for Second Place.
In a personal Reuse the nomination at
St. Louis of Governor Levi P. Morton,
of New Tork, for vice-president would
be acceptable to the Republican party.
It would atone to some extent for what
many regard the Injustice at Minneapo
lis four years ago when the head of the
Harrison and Morton ticket was nomi
nated and the tall set aside In favor of
another New Yorker having less claim
to party favor. It would also call to the
presidency of the senate a man whose
prior experience In that position won
for him marked personal and social es
teem. Other arguments In favor of
Morton are that his nomination would
be the token of a conciliatory disposi
tion toward ex-Senator Piatt; that it
would strengthen the ticket among the
banking and speculative Interests In
New York city some of which have pro
fessed to be dubious about McKinley;
and that It would be followed by a
general subsidence of factional sore
ness. On the coriliary It may be urged that
It might intensify the prejudices of
many rural voters against a party
which they already affect to believe Is
dominated by the money power and
thus react In favor of the enemy whose
whole campaign will probably consist
of a general attack upon Mr. Morton's
business associates In Wall Btreet.
These prejudices are without substan
tial foundation In fact, yet as political
factors which under certain contingen
cies might affect Jhe final result they
deserve careful consideration. Another
possible objection ta Mr. Morton Is the
fact that as gpverpor of New York state
he has seemed to many outside observ
ers to be little more than a lieutenant
,( Mr. Piatt, ready to sign any measure
which Mr. Piatt favored. The Raines
bill, the greater New York bill and other
measures with Piatt politics in them
could be brought Into the national can
vass In the event of Governor Morton's
nomination for the vice-presidency, and
might work needless Injury.
On a gold platform New York ought
to be safe for the Republican party
without reference to tho personnel of
tho national ticket. It Is the state
which has mada the hottest fight for
gold. It is the utnte where the great
monetary In tercets havo their strong
holds. Consequently there does not
seem to be much need for the placatlon
of Mr. Piatt at the expense of the vice
presidency.. He could no, do a great
deal cf harm, under present circum
stances, if he were to tight the ticket;
and his political surroundings are such
that lie would not dure to fight It. It
therefore seems to us that It would be
wlner to give the second place to New
Jersey, Kentucky or Tennessee. These
states are on one of tho border-linos be
tween the flections Into which the mone
tary Issue will naturally divide the
country. . They will be within the area
of "fighting territory" while New York
will not. Hobart, of New Jersey; Brad
ley, of Kentucky, or Evans, of Ten
nessee, would fulfill admirably the eon-
; dltlons of prudence which now exist at
St. Louis, but of course If Morton Is
nominated he will be heartily supported.
Mr. Fan-bank's speech covered the
ground.
Boll It Down.
Th ReDUbllcan Jen flora at at T.nnl
are said to have agreed upon the fol
lowing momentary plank: "Tho lite
publican party to unreservedly for
sound money. It caused the enactment
of the law providing for the resumption
of specie payment In 1878; since then
. every dollar has been as good as gold.
We nre unalterably opposed to every
measure calculated to debase our cur
rency or Impair the credit of our coun
try. We are, therefore, opposed to free
' coins of silver except by International
agreement; and until such an agreement
can be obtained the existing; gold stand
ard must be preserved. All our silver
and paper now In circulation as cur
rency must be maintained at a parity
with gold, and we favor all measures to
maintain Inviolably the obligations of
the United States, and all our money,
whether coin or paper at the present
standard, the standard of the meet en
lightened nations of the earth.
One objection to this plank Is that It
is cumbersome; Its thought could be
presented better in fewer words, for
example: As the party- which has al
ways favored an honest currency, the
Republican party now declares Its op
position to the free and unlimited coin
age of silver until there Is a safe agree
ment to that effect among the leading
commercial nations." This plank ex
presses the views of the majority of Re
publicans and has the merit of brevity.
All talk about favoring the inviolable
maintenance of the obligations of the
United States is superfluous, since no
where has there been any intimation of
a wish on the part of the Republican
party to repudiate those obligations or
Impair tho public credit; and platltudi-nlr.lng-
on the subject will be simply a
waste of wtrds.
But since the platform-makers wish
to emphasize their devotion to the gold
standard, why not use simply these
words: "We are opposed to the free
coinage of silver except by International
agreement; and until such an agreement
can be obtained the existing gold stand
ard must be preserved." This covers
the whole ground, neatly and concisely.
It is not a straddle nor a Btump speech
but a pluln, direct enunciation of party
doctrine. Why cannot the maker3 of
platforms learn to boll their effusions
down?
It appears at last that McKlnley's
silence really was golden.
The Law's Delays.
Considerable comment has been elic
ited by the expedition with which the
Dyer woman, In England, was Indicted,
tried, sentenced and hanged for murder.
The whole epUode occupied less than
two months, or scarcely more than was
required to secure a Jury In the case of
the Fleming woman, In New York, who
Is accused of poisoning her mother; and
the coincidence suggests the remark
that "they order some things better
abroad."
In England, as the Philadelphia
Times points out, the trial of a prisoner
on a criminal charge Is expected simply
to establish the truth; and when that Is
established to the satisfaction of the
court and Jury the case ends. But with
us, "the arrest of a criminal Is simply
the beginning of a battle between his
counsel and the prosecuting attorney,
which we expect to see carried on for as
long as human Ingenuity can devise
pretexts for delay. The old theory of
trial by Jury, a Jury drawn by lot to
represent the Impartial judgment of
the community, has almost disap
peared. We expect the bitterest kind
of a fight over the selection of the
twelve men. And even after the man
has been tried and convicted, nobody
regards the verdict as a finality. The
battle has but Just begun. We expect.
If we do not actually desire, to have the
case tried all over again, to see 'Whether
a different Jury would find the same
verdict. And then there are appeals, and
writs of error, and re-arguments and
stays of proceeding and applications
for pardon, and the whole elaborate
machinery intended only for the most
exceptional cases is put In motion as a
matter of couse In behalf of every crim
inal, great and small, no matter how
obvious his guilt."
In other words, there has come to be
in many of our courts too much law
and too little justice. It Is doubtful If
this condition of affairs can be changed.
It certainly will not be changed so long
as tradition continues to hold the rein
over common sense In our methods of
criminal procedure. The abolition of
the Jury and the placing In the
judge's hands of deciding power over
facts as well as law has been sug
gested as a desirable step forward In
the direction of reform. Under pru
dent safeguards, and with three Judges
called upon the bench, instead of one,
tho verdict of any two to be decisive,
and each to serve by appointment dur
ing life or good behavior, this sugges
tion might work to the public advan
tage. It certainly could not make mat
ters much worse than they now are.
It sounds somewhat singular to hear
a London newspaper singing the praises
of McKinley.- The Pall Mall Gazette,
however) is so tickled over the gold vic
tory at St. Louis that it actually pats
the champion of American protection
on the back. Just why the Britishers
should be so joyous over this matter
we confess we don't quite understand.
But If they are going to be reconciled to
four years of McKinley It will he nn
more than a distant Imitation of the re
versal of opinion which Is now taking
place among many thousands of cis
atlantic free traders.
Representative Alilrich, of minds,
one of the Reed leaders. Bays If the con
vention had been postponed two or three
days. Reed would have won. This Is a
contingent proposition which is more
easily assented than proved. .
Some writer occupies two columns In
the Chicago Record In an attempt to
prove thatQuay's presidential candi
dacy meant contrition for his political
past. Say rather, concern for his po
litical future.
The latest convert to Protection is
Henry George, hitherto the great, com
mander of the single tax clan and an
avowed free, trader. There will be
others.
At all events, Thomas C, Piatt has
won hew laurels for pluck, and shown
that, with all his faults, he Is a fighter
with unlimited grit
The forcing of the money Issue to the
front means that business will not re-,
vlve until after the November election,
whereas had Protection been made the
chief slogan of the Republican canvass
Improvement would have followed
quickly after the adjournment of the
St. Louis convention.
It seems very strange to us that the
St. Louis convention should have been
allowed to assemble in the absence of
Richard Harding Davis.
Generalissimo Grlftin is requested to
accept the Scranton public's emphatic
congratulations. '
REED AND THE PRESIDENCY.
From the Philadelphia bulletin.
The failure of Thomas B. Reed- as a can.
dldate tor the Republican presidential
nomination atain serves to conrtrm the
superstition concerning the speakership as
a barrier to advancement to the whit
house. No occupant of that post was ever
in a more favorable position toward his
party and the country, apparently, than
Keed was in last December, when he ae
came speaker for the second time, and
when his trlends may be said to have
begun his canvass in his behalf for the
presidency. Hut the same ill-luek that
has attended the ambition of every man
who lias held the speakership, with .he
sinfcia exception of Folk, has followed
Speaker Keed; und. like Clay and liluine,
tho admltttlly ablest of all the Republi
can lea lers of the day is likely to dream
In va'.n the dreams of presidential great
ness. II II II
In force of character. In Intellectual
strength and In the higher qualities of
leadership Reed has stood, us he stands
today, foremost In his party. There is
not a shadow of a shadow on his per
form! character; he has (tone through
twenty years of liorve contention in the
houses of representatives with unchal
leiiKed probity; lie has been the author of
a great parliamentary reform which even
his opponents have adopted, and to nis
tremendous force of will may bo aserllie.l
the passage of all the vital Republican
legislation when the party was last In
power, it Is not too much to say thU
anion thoughtful Republicans who have
studied closely the characteristics of party
leaders thure is none whose mental re.
sources have commanded so much ad
miration and, at times, astonishment as
those of Speaker Reed.
II II II
It is, Indeed, this marked ability and
superiority, together with independence of
character and a contempt for the petty
things of polities, that have served most
to diminish his chances as a candidate for
the presidency. The American people
have generally hesitated to put the power
of the executive ortlce In the hands of
strong men with that peculiar faculty of
domination and mastery possesses by
Reed; and ho has done nothing to flatter
away this latent distrust by the tricks of
the demagogue. The result has been that
the managing politicians, as a rule, have
held aloof from him, while the people have
turned to McKinley largely because of his
simple and, perhaps, more amiable traits
of character, and because of a belief on
their part that he Is "closer" to them
than the big, self-willed and towering
man from Maine could ever be.
II II II
That Speaker Reed has been disappoint,
ed In his ambition has probably caused lit
tle surprise to intelligent and disinterest
ed men In his party, who saw from the
start the disadvantages which his very su
periority would entail upon his canvass.
It Is from them that he will receive a gen
erous recognition for his character, his
services and the part he has played In
helping to bring the Republican party in
the past four years to Its present vantage
ground. The house, under his guidance
In the past six months, has been a help, not
a hindrance, to the party; it was prompt,
unprecedently prompt, In Its transaction
of business and In Its performance of its
duty In coming to the relief cf the coun
try with revenue and financial legislation,
and the difficult task of directing nn
overwhelming majority of tho house on
the eve of a presidential campalsn without
Injury to the party behind it has never
been better performed under the pecu
liar circumstances that have marked the
relations of the senate to the house, and of
both to the executive. Tom Reed may be
heard from more effectively In 1900, as his
friends believe, but not likely. The chances
for the presidency will always be against
men of his mould and brain. They nre
stronger with tho discriminating few than
with the masses of their countrymen.
DIDN'T KNOW FOKAKEIl.
Prom the Cleveland World.
Senator Foraker was met at the St.
Louis station by an ambitious reporter this
morning. The senator stood outside the
coach. "Whose car Is this?" asked the
young man. "Mr. Foraker's," was the
reply. "Are you Air. Foraker?" "Yes."
"Mr. Foraker, when did you leave Chi
cago?" "I didn't leave Chicago, I came
here from Cincinnati." "Will you give me
the names of those with you?" "Oh, yes,
there are myself and wife and son,and
Charles Emory Smith and Murat Hal
stead." "Who is Mr. Smith; Is he a noted
politician?" "Oh, yes, he has been quite
a politician. He has been minister to
Russia and Is owner of the Philadelphia
Press." "And who is Mr. Murat Hal
stead?" asked the young man, blandly
and Innocently. The Ohio senator could
stand the situation no longer. He looked
straight at the young man and said with
out a quiver of a muscle, "Mr. Halstead is
a blacksmith." Mr. Foraker retired to his
car and shut tho door. Such Is fame.
Mrs. Foraker tells the story today in
great glee.
THE SENATE'S UTILITY.
From the Washington Post.
Sir John McDonald, the first prime mln.
later of Canada, used to relate the follow
ing story to Illustrate the need of an up
per house of congress:
"Of what use is tho senate?" asked Jef
ferson, as he stood before the lire with a
cup of tea in his hand, pouring the tea
into the saucer.
"You have answered your own ques
tion," replied Washington.
"What do you mean?
"Why do you pour that tea Into the
saucer?"
"To cool it."
"Even so," said Washington, "the sen
ate is the saucer into which we pour
legislation to cool."
LOVE'S LABORS LOST.

Well, hardly. Even Undo Joe Scranton's

figure in that body.
YOU WILL FOJf GET.
You will forget a few swift hours,
Fortune and fame and all to woo,
And ere the bloom forsake the flowers
The lips you kiss have kissed for you
And ere the morrow's sun Is set,
You will forget.
You will forget a mile or so,
And out of sight is out of mind;
The easy tears soon come to flow,
When life's before and love's behind,
Aye, love, while still your eyes are wet,
You will forget.
You will forget In other years
When you behold that whlto star shine
We see so dimly through tho tears; -
When you shall pats these doqrs of mine,
Or that dear spot whore first we met,
You will forget.
You will forget let me love on,
You have been all In all to me;
So when the past Is dead and gone,
Like some fine golden phantasy,
Let me lovs on, to pay my debt ' '
Ifou will fprget.

GALIUM A. GROWS FLANK.
From the Philadelphia Times.
"How would you write the financial
plank in the national platform X' was
asked.
"I would adopt the Minneapolis plat
form, with the addition that wa are op
posed to the free coinage of sliver with
out international agreement." Aly rea
sons for this are that the government is
pledged to keep all of its paper money,
greenbacks and treasury notes Inter,
changeable with gold, and that we have
got to do until our paper is all paid. The
Minneapolis platform said: 'We are in
favor of sold, paper and silver. Inter
changeable, one into the other, of the same
purchasing power.' Now, a silver dollar
buys as much as a gold dollar, and a pa
per dollar does the same thing. So our
money Is all right just as It Is. Let it
alone, with the addition above stated as
to free coinage."
BRICK'S LITTLE STORY.
Wellman, In the Times-Herald.
' Some one said to Senator Brlce that It
did not matter which way the silver ques
tion was decided, as the country could be
Just as prosperous under a silver stand
ard as It was with the gold standard, and
this remark reminded Senator Brlce of a
story. Two well-bred young men were
rivals for the affections of a fair lady, and
being gentlemen, they did not wish to flsht
a duel and try to kill each other, nor did
they want to go at If with the'- fists.
They glowered at each other a little While,
and then one said to his rival: "We don't
want to fight about this lady, so I'll tell
you what we'll do. We will toss for her."
To this the other agreed. "Then," said
the first, "I'll toss up a brick, and ir it
stays In the air the girl is yours. If It
comes down she's mine."
IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
From the Wllkes-Uarre Leader.
Wllkes-Harre's public building and
Scranton's military post are still castles
in the ulr.
A CONFESSION.
From the Wllkes-Barre Leader.
Tho treasury of Scranton's associated
charities is about empty. You can run a
