The fact that Scranton is to have two postal suli-tUutluiis, with the pes Hlbllllv of their brine converted intu tub-offices as soon as the business done in them shall warrant, is u gratt fying pynivtuin ut proRresa. The growth of u, city's :ostal business is nearly always u faithful rellex of Its cenerul crowth. Scranton may cer tainly feel well satisfied with its show ing in this respect. What to Do for Cuba. American sentiment in Ik half of Cola is so earnest that It may be lu cimslileratU'n is nut riven by ihe muss of ptople t. the diplomatic difficulties In way of affirmative ofileial action by tills government. Thf Vnlted states, of course, cannot afford to net the free hooter. It must proceed aluni? regular lines and so guide and safeguard its Eteps that no chance will occur to Spain to arraign us on a technicality. This Is necessary, not so much on Spain's account as on our own. We may not cure a great deal for Spain's Rood opln Ion. but we must guard with Jtalou-iy our general reputation among the oth er powers. "A good name," says Solo mon, "is rather to be chosen than great riches." This Is as true of nations ns of persons. Expediency, then, no less than syni pathy, requires to be considered. What would be the effect of the recognition by our government of Cuban belliger ency? Would It help or hurt the Cuban cause? I 'poll this point there Is a dif ference of expert opinion, but the Iml ance seems to swing adversely to such recognition. As Theodore S. Woolsey professor of International luw ut Yale university and one of the foremost liv lug authorities on that subject, says. it would "add considerably to our In ternational obligations as neutrals would relieve Spain, at present the only responsible government In sight, from responsibility for our further property losses on the island; and by putting Spain, as well as the Insurgents, Into the position of belligerency would be likely to curtail still more our Cuban trade through blockade and contra band operations." He proceeds; "What is our Interest In Cuba? It Is twofold. (1) We are JustlUed in Insisting that a province so near our shores, unj with which we have an extensive coin merce, should be under a responsible gov ernment, capable of fultllling toward our own citizens its international obligation.', (i!) We have a right to axk that American property In that province shall be safe, the lives of our citizens there resident seeuio, ami our trade as little interrupted as the ordinary necessities and vicissitudes of government will permit. A stable and re sponsible government, an unharusse.l trade. Thi-au are our legitimate wants in Cuba." We shall know presently what steps our government has already taken In the premises. If It has Indicated to Spain a certain time within which it expects Spain to restore order In Cuba and render secure American Interests on that Island, that period must be per mitted to elapse before additional ac tion can In fairness be taken. If it has not done this, the doing of it should not be longer delayed. In the event of Spain's failure to subdue the rebel lion within a reasonable time, It would In our Judgment be proper for this gov ernment, having In view both the mer its of the controversy and Its own near Interests, to declare with frankness that Spanish sovereignty In Cuba could nut longer be tolerated. If the alter native of such a declaration should be war. It would be a war into which we could enter with clear consciences and In which we would have the sympathy and moral support of nine-tenths of the civilized population of the earth. In the last five months the govern ment's deficit was $40,000,000 as against only $16,000,000 In the same months of 1895. Fortunately the treasury has a cash balance of $228,000,000, and can therefore. If necessary, worry along un til un extra session can be called to remedy matters. A Tempest in a Teapot An unnecessary stir has been occasioned In New York by a passage In one of Dr. Lyman Abbott's recent sermons wherein he said: "When we, with muskets, faced the rioters at Chlcar.i, who de manded that we govern them only with their consent that was America's an swer to the declaration that govern ment rests on the consent of the gov erned. It still stands in the declaration of Independence, but we no longer be lieve in It, nor on the philosophy on which It is founded." Quite a number of eminent ersor.s have taken alarm at these pacific: and rational words and have undertaken to establish that the eminent gentleman who used them Is a dangerous revolu tionist who ought in some nebulous way to be severely dlscipletl. It. may be that we are particularly obfcusc, but we must confess we cannot perceive the ground for this ado nor can we comprehend the danzer latent in Dr. Abbott's utterance. Whatever may. bj said in the declaration of independence, which Is an able and patriotic but by no means an infallible document, it seems to us that something still more fundamental on this subject is written In human nature to wit, that the thief will not voluntarily consent to the stamping out of theft nor the all-round crook look forward with pleasure to the punishment of miscellaneous crimes. In other words, government is still the rule of might wherein the majority dominates the minority and those who do not like It must lump it, until they can change it. All this, however. Is nothlns new. It Is the rule of life. It has obtained in all ages and will doubtless continue to be the rule In the ages to come. The especial advantage which America en joys In this connection is that it of fers unprecedented opportunity and facility for the minority. to argue Its case until It can expand Into a major ity. Herein Is the real strength and aafety of- American Institutions that rebellion is foolish while the chance to win by quiet and orderly means con tinues at all times open. The appeal to reason will always In the long run save a worthy cause just as It will al ways damn a bad one. Dr. Abliott has merely emphasized a fundamental truth. The Cuban war has already cost Spain 25.000 men and $200,000,000. Even in time of peace the annual Spanish deficit is about $11,000,000. The Cuban war cuts into Spain's vitaU In two ways. It increases her expenses ar.d by destroying Cuban commerce it de f reuses her income. If Spain were wise she would sell Cuba and be glud of the chance. Fair Play for the Bosses. We are so accustomed to nbmo of politicians from journals professing to represent the hlsh-T culture und thought of the day that it comes a a s urprise when one of these journals has u word to sav from another stand point. The Citizen. nuMUhed in I'hil-ad-lphia. Is the oi;an of the I'nivir sity Extension movement, and a pub lication at ull times worth ivadin.T. In Its December Issue it prints a thought ful editorial study of contemporary po litical phases, and lays down the sensi ble proiiositton that the so-called "ma chines" or "olisarchiifi" which are nowadays so powerful In politics are reully the victims instead of the op pressors of the people. "We refuse." It continues, "to take the Iniative in making nominations, and we decline the drudgery that belongs to 'running' n party. Yet, if we want a protective tariff or are earnest about :mvlns good money, a highly organized and rlilclt-nt party is indispensable and there is much mceasary work to bo done. If there Is no one to do It for love, it natural!:' fulls to those who see in it un opportunity. When they undertake the citizen's task, which h cannot be driven to perform, is it fair to cry thief becuuse they want com pcnsatlon for labor so Irksome and so Dourly paid on the whole that It Is avoided by the shrewd and even by the good?" There Is un easy remedy when abust become unbearable. Hut it Is rarely called Into use. "If. ordinarily," the Citizen adds, "only ten or twelve pe cent, of the total number of voters go to primary elections, and about that number have some sort of profitable connection with a party, the tempt a tion must be Irresistible for, say, a sen ator or contractor with a taste for pol I tics to take possession of so simple machine and run It for all It Is worth. If we And anything out of the way In this, we must remember that we made the situation ourselves." This has been said before, but it is none the less true. The singular thing Is that the numerous fault-finders do not uppeur to remember it. Thomas A. Edison says the Roentgen ray may yet be so utilized as to re store sight to the blind and Nikola Tesla Bays it can't. And there you are. New Liquor Law. There have been reports from time to time of Intended moves at Harris- burg this winter to amend the Brooks law, but we are indebted to a Pittsburg contemporary for the first detailed ejut line of the "slated" plan. According to this authority the friends of Senat or Quay in the legislature will take the initiative, and their programme will be as follows: A measure will be passed providing for the appointment of a state liquor department by the governor. The de purtment will be somewhat after the fashion of the pure food commission. The state commissioner will be empow ered to appoint a sufficient number of deputies to look after the enforce ment of the excise laws. All the licens es will be granted by the commission and it will have full power to regulate the sale of all Intoxicants. The duties of the deputies will be prescribed, too They will see that no one without a li cense shull sell liquor. Their particu lar duties will be to prosecute propri e-tors of speakeasies and disreputable houses. Quay's friends say that this is the only possible manner to subjugate the social evil and exterminate the speakeasy. Licenses will be granted to every one who may have the necessary fee and can furnish ten good character witnesses. This will abrogate any pos- fclble necessity for speakeasies, and the state and county revenues will ' be greatly Increased. It kt not the spirit of the repealing bill that any of the vigor of the lirooks license law shall be dispensed with. It is the intention t keep the liquor traffic as well as ever in hand, but the Quayites say they want the granting of licenses taken nut of politics. They claim the Judges all over the state are favorable to the excise measure: that the retail liquor dealers association has already endorsed this proposition; and that little opposition has developed. We do not know what truth there U In the assertion that the foregoing pro gramme Is a Quay programme, and so far as the merits of the proposition arc concerned it does not matter. The change in our opinion would be advan tageous. It would strengthen the law In Its weak places and open up no new- dangers provided there is equully faith ful enforcement. Rev. Dr. Parkhurst's arraignment of women shoppers for preferring "bar gains" which they must know Involve starvation wases to the makers of the articles and condemn thousands of poor women either to penury or prostitution had justice bnck of It, but he wait not very fortunate In his location of the blame. If every "bargain" were doubled In price it would not necessarily follow that wages would rise in proportion. The "sweat shop" evil must be reached by direct state Intervention. Society has a right to protect itself against such sources of evil. When It does this, the women who shop will gladly bear their share of the increased cost. The appointment of Nelson Dlngley a secretary of the treasury Is said to have been decided upon by the preEi-dent-elect. Such a choice would prove eminently satisfactory to the country. Mr. Dlngley is a modest man. but a man of great ability. Industry and long experience. He has for years been one of the wheel horses of the house; he has made financial subjects a special study; his personal character and po litical fidelity are above reproach and he represents a section which may fair ly lay claim to representation in the next cabinet. In short, he is In every respect qualified for the position and In it would inspire confidence. One of the reform bills to be present ed at Ilarrisburg next session which, really Is a forward step provides that grants of public franchises shall be for a definite period not over thirty years; that the company receiving the fran chise shall pay a percentage of gross receipts for the privilege, which, when not specified, shall be 6 per cent.; that the company shall be subject to rul s and regulations In the public Interest, and at the end of the franchise period which must not exceed thirty years, the franchises and the improvements under them shall revert to the city. This ar.easure Is almost too good ever to become law in Pennsylvania. Senator E'.lins will endmvor to re enre the passage by congress this v.-in-tir of his bill which proposes to tax imports in foreign ships 10 pi.r cent, til vul iic:n more than such imports In Aim-ikan ships are taxed. The nrst effect of such a measure would 1 e to yi Id nearly $VJ00,M)0 a year new r. v? nue. The second effect would be t cause a revival in Ainerlcrn ship build ing and set the pace going for n re stored American murine. President Cleveland and his free Untie friends ure against It, but If he shall veto the bill it will merely give President Alc Klnlcy the pleasure of signing It. Cnnudu will soon be in the throes of a Prohibition campaign. The question Is to bo submitted directly to the voters of the Dominion whether the liquor traflic shall or shall not be banned, and the premier nun pledged that the. will of the majority as thus voiced bIirII promptly can led out. It will be a cam paigu worth watching. Among the reform bills which are t be unloaded on the next legislature Is one for second class cities, making heads of municipal departments elec tlve by the people. It would be quit as sensible to ask the people to elect the president's cabinet. The electlv fad may easily be pushed too far. It is estimated that to establish state excise commission with the requi site number of deputies would cos liuu.ooo a year, to meet this expense some who favor an overhauling of the lirooks law propose to raise the price of the license. This is pretty sure to provoke a breeze. Eli Perkins says Major McKlnley thinks there wouldn't have been any free silver scare If there hadn't been any Wilson bill. Ell is not always to be implicitly believed, but this time we guess his statement can unhesitat ingly be accepted at par. Prominent. Republicans throughout the state are already calling for short, sharp and decisive session of the legislature. It is proper to ask this, but the request will not be granted The forthcoming session will In all probability be the longest on record The recent report that Senator Quay had decided to oppose the passage this winter of reapportionment bills turns out to be a fake. The need of prompt action in this direction Is too palpable to require argument. The anti-foot ball ' movement has slopped over In Missouri and Georgia, where laws are to be passed prohibit lng the sport. But, then, those states are hardly accountable for their vaga ries.
