"We've Rot a great many school chll
tlicn and others to think of besides the
parties Immediately interested." said
School Controller Wormser Wednesday
night. In relation to the Booth-Howell
matter. It is too bad this wise thought
did not appear to strike the school
board earlier in the game.
Explanatory.
The Tribune regrets an error on this
page in yesterday's issue whereby Mr.
Schartr's name wus used In place of
Mr. Schrlefer's as that of one of the
controllers who voted against the ad
mission, as part of Superintendent
Howell's statement of the evidence In
the Uooth secret investigation. The
error arose through a confusion of the
names. Mr. Schrlefer was willing to
give the superintendent a fair hearing,
but wanted the reading of the testi
mony postponed until tonight. Fortu
nately the error was corrected In our
local report.
Concerning tonight's hearing, The
Tribune will not retail filth; but In
justice to Superintendent Howell, who
was publicly attacked for unpleasant
duty courageously performed. It will
print in tomorrow's Issue as much of
the essential evidence as can be ad
mitted to the columns of a respectable
Taper without violence to Its readers.
Duty to the public now demands that
this whole cnst shall go before the
public for Its fair and open judgment,
with mullce toward none and charity
for nil.
We cannot agree with the Truth that
the desire of Superintendent Howell
for a complete public hearing In re
sponse to a premeditated und impas
sioned public arraignment of himself
by a subordinate Involves any spirit of
vlndictiventJs. As we view It. It In
volves nothing more nor less than Jus
tice. Ills character Is not less vulu
uM? to him, his professional reputa
tion Is not less of a resource to him
und to his faully than ure the charac
ter and r.-outution of his accuser to
her. Justlco novs no sex.
The written endorsement of Senator
Penrose iy majority of the members
of the le-ilature from I'hUudelphlu
would Bvf f'i to dispose of the claim that
Mr Penrose Is persona lion grata to
the city of his birth.
The McKinley Programme.
Mr. William E. Curtis, formerly
secretary of the bureau of South
American republics and now Wash
ington correspondent of the Chi
cago Record, litis codified the
political probabilities of the early part
of the McKinley administration. Mr.
Curtis has visited Canton, is In close
touch with the real Republican leaders
In Washington and his forecast may be
accepted as authentic so far as any
programme can yet be definitely ar
ranged. "There Is no doubt," Fays he, "of an
extra session of the LVth congress, to
be callpd Immediately after the inaug
uration of President McKinley. There
Is no doubt that Mr. Dlngley, at the
suggestion of the president-elect, will
begin at once the preparation of a tar
iff bill, to be submitted to the house
of representatives Immediately upon
the organization ,of that body at the
special session. There Is no doubt of
nn understanding between Mr. Dlngley
and the president-elect that the exec
utive branch of the government will
not attempt to prevent the re-election
of Mr. Reed as speaker of the house of
representatives and the retention of
Mr. Dlngley at the head of the commit
tee on ways and means, with practical
ly the sai;ie members that now compose
the majority of that committee. There
is no doubt that the president-elect
and Mr. Dlngley concur in the opinion
that low duties should prevail so far as
Is possible, and that the rates imposed
by the existing law will be generally
preserved, with the exception of wools,
woolens, lumber, coal and some forms
of agricultural produce. There is no
doubt that the same understanding In
cludes a general reciprocity provision,
under which the president will be au
thorized to negotiate with countries
whose products are admitted free or at
low rates of duty into the I'nlted Ptatm
for' similar concessions In favor of the
exports from the I'nlted States. There
Is no prospect of an additional tax on
beer, nor of any duty on tea or coffee,
except for reciprocity purposes. There
is no doubt that specific duties will be
provided In place of the ad valorem
dutic-s now imposed by the existing law
wherever It is possible. There Is no
doubt that Representative Dlngley will
have the new bill ready to submit to
the president-f leet before the inaugu
ration. There is no doubt that the next
president will be very slow in making
appointments to office until the new
tariff bill has been disposed of."
In every particular the foregoing
programme seems likely to prove sat
isfactory to the conservative sentiment
f the country,
i
Senator Mills laughs at the Idea of
a war with Spain. And yet, wa'r Is not
a laughable matter.
Abuses of the Mails.
The postmaster general In his annual
report to congress certainly makes out
a strong case against the present post
age rate of one rent a pound on bogus
periodicals which usurp the second
class mall privilege. Last year, as he
shows, the malls carried 349.0OO.0C0
pounds of second-class matter. Its net
receipts for transporting this was
mills a pound, or $2,965,403; the cost to
It of the transportation was 8 cents a
pound, or $27,920,000; and the difference
Is a loss of nearly J23.0O0.OO0.
The profits accruing from first-class
postage for It Is estimated that third
and fourth-class matter Is Just about
self-sustaining reduce the net deficit
of the postofilce department to $S.127,0SS,
which rum has to be made up by con
gress by special appropriation. Thus
It appears that abuse of the second-
class privilege Is. the one thing which
now stands In of one-cent letter
postage. The latter could be adopted
with comparative confidence if there
were not this continual and growing
deficit in the second-class column.
It Is clearly proper for legitimate
periodicals with bona fide subscription
lists to receive the benefits of a mail
rate of one cent a pound. These bene
fits In the main diffuse among the peo7
pie and to their existence no objection
is entered by the postal authorities. At
one cent a pound It Is believed that
the mall carriage of nlost newspapers
and magazines would be, If not self-sustaining,
at least so nearly so as to im
pose small burden on the department.
The trouble all arises from fake "li
braries" whereby under the nominal
claim of periodical Issuance, books,
catalogues and a vast mass of other
bulky printed matter are thrown as
dtad weight on the postal system.
It Is time this evil were remedied by
congress.
Professor Coles, the ordinarily ami
able philosopher of Kingston, has de
clared grim war on hypnotism. He pro
nounces it the crowning curse of the
century and wants legislatures to pass
laws that shall "both tine and confine
any and all persons who shall dare at
tempt the awful practice." We shall
pass the right of defense along to Pri
vate Secretary Beamish.
Col. Alexander HcClure.
The completion this week by Colonel
Alexander McClure of fifty years of ac
tive service In Journalism was fittingly
seized upon by his professional asso
ciates as an occasion for honoring him.
The felicitations voiced on that occa
sion ure cordially re-Iterated by the
larger circle of Colonel McC'lure's ad
mirers which was not present In per
son at the dinner given in Philadel
phia In his honor. Men of the younger
generation ure but dimly acquainted
with those activities of this veteran
editor which won for him his chief
measure of distinction. In court or
camp, during ante-bellum, war-time
and reconstruction days, he was a mak
er and a wiekler of men, and only in
late years has he rested to some extent
from those stirring Intrigues and fas
cinating adjustments which, when
properly dressed up, make history.
The one who, however, cursorily
studies the character and achievements
of this foremost of Pennsylvania Jour
nalists, will find much to admire. He
will find a master satirist, a convincing
controversialist, a wit of hltili degree,
an orator armed with well-nigh all the
gifts of eloquence, a politician adroit
In the manaetnent of men, a thinker
intellectually equipped for the weight
lest mental engagements, and a pliil
osopher savtd from dryness by an unc
tuoun humor. He will find courtliness
and polish and bon hommle, and, above
all. a striking exemplification of the
magnetic quality, which somehow
nearly always differentiates great from
commonplace men. If one were mind
ed, one mlsht also doubtless point out
faults the Inevitable and reconciling
shortcomings which characterize all
men of strength and character.
One does not, however, feel called
upon at such a time to piny '.he cen
sor, even if one had the license to do so;
consequently this brief annotation on
the c hatacterlstlcs of an eminent con
temporary may well be brought to a
close with the admission that, whatever
the colonel's failings, his service fir
Journalism, in giving It breadth and in
depnuhnce and vigor; and above all
in lifting it up to a plane where it can,
when wisely directed, bo of maximum
usefulness to the public, entitles him
to the unbounded respect, not only of
the craft, but also of that large area
of miscellaneous humanity to which
American Journalism daily ministers.
Amidst the clash of empires and the
din of worlds, the Hon. Tom Watson
rises to remark In his Georgia paper
that the Hon. Senator Butler Is a liar,
trickster and traitor. And thus does
Populism breed peace.
Better Go Slow.
The Introduction In consress this
week of a number of resolutions calling
for the Immediute recognition by this
government of the Independence of the
republic of Cubn has no doubt been
impelled by the most praiseworthy mo
tives. It arises from a sentiment of
sympathy which In itself does credit
to American manhood, and for that rea
son one can the more readily trust
that when such a step as is contem
plated in these resolutions shall be tak
en. It can be defended, not only by
might if necessary but also by indisput
able considerations of right, which
will appeal to the calm Judement cf the
civilized world.
If we were to recognise at this time
the Independence of the republic of Cu
ba we should, unless apparently trust
worthy testimony Is utterly false, pro
nounce as fact that which Is ns yet
only an iridescent fiction. We do not
know whnt better authority American
senators and representatives can hope
to command upon a subject of this char
acter than the American department
of state. Both the president and the
state secretary have testified that there
is no organized and actual civil govern
ment in the so-called republic of Cuba.
The president's words on this point tiro
fresh In the public's memory; here is
w hat Secretary Olney says on the sub
ject: So far as our Information shows, there
Is not only no effective local government
by the Insurgents In the territories they
overrun, but there is not even a tangible
pretense to establish administration any
where. Their organization, confined to
the shifting exigencies of the military
operations of the hour. Is nomaille, with
out definite centers and lacking the must
elementary features of municipal govern
ment. There nowhere appears the nu
cleus of statehood. The machinery for ex
ercising the legitimate rights and powers
of sovereignty and responding to the obli
gations which u faeto sovereignty entails
in the face of equal rights of other states
is conspicuously lacking. It Is not possi
ble to discern a homogeneous political en.
tlty, possessing ami exerelring the func
tions of administration and capable, if left
to Itself, of maintaining normal relations
with the external family of governments.
ITnder these circumstances, how can
the United States with propriety give
official recognition tn a dream? If It
were simply a question of measuring
strength with Spain, we might do this
or do anything else which fancy might
suggest and trust to our suoerlor re
sources to enforce our action. ' But I
such Is not the role which Christian
statesmanship marks out for this peo.
pie. Much as they may sympathize
with the grievances of the Cuban In
surgents and firmly as they may be
lieve that Spain, In morals, has lost
title to Cuba, they must not take any
action in the premises which will com
promise their own honor or cause fu
ture historians to adopt me apologetic
tone.
The correspondents at Washington
are having fun with Secretary Olney
because In his official documents he
exhibits a truly Bostouian fondness for
big words. So long, however, as he
makes his polysyllables count like they
did In the Venezuela affair, the coun
try will pardon the foible.
Senator Cullom's argument for Cu
ban Independence Is unanswerable on
moral grounds, but It still remains true
that the I'nlted States cannot recog
nlzt a republic In Cuba until one exists
there.
Congress has passed the bill prohibit
ing the sale of Intoxicants In the capl
tol; but It is the consumption of In
toxicants In the capital that most
needs to be checked.
Senator Mills' proposition that I'ncle
Sam sleze Cuba and hold It against
Spain until the Cubans themselves or
ganize and establish a stable govern
ment of their own is virile, at least.
It will not perhaps be In the nature
of a surprise to know that Hon. Chris
.hi gee does not subscribe to all the
propositions in Senator Quay's reply to
Dolan.
Whether Muceo has been killed or
not, Cuba's cause will win. for It Is
Just, and Justice Is not dependent on
any one man.
