MATTER SCIIANTON, JANUAHY 13, 1S97. And now I'lttslnitB Is KolnB to op ciato ft eo public baths. Need wc asl: vlmt to do with our own fragmnt Lti(.lanniia? Tlic Arbitration Treaty. The tieaty signed Monday by Sir Julian l'aiiiiccfote- for Cheat Britain and by Secictaiy Olney for tbo United State?1, and now subject to the ratifica tion of tlio senate at Washington, I gi eater In significance than In lutilnslc woitli. It piovidcs lor the lefcrence, with one exception, of all pending dis putes between the two countiles to ar bltiatlon, the exception being tlio Be ring sea controversy; nnd stipulate1? for a Binillar reference of nil future disputes within ile oais, bae bueh as concern the honor of tlio conttactins nations. The loopholes ale ample, but Iho moial effect is far more ample, nnd that, after all, Is the chief consid eration. "Ihe example set and the lesson fur nished by the successful operation of tills tieaty ate sine to be felt," writes 1'iesldent Cleveland, "and taken to heat I sooner or later by other nations," and It is in this bonse tathet than in any patticular Inlictent merit in the tieaty ilhulC that tin? tieaty's ratifica tion will constitute. In the language of the London Chionlcle, "the event of the nineteenth centuty." Wat has by no means been eliminated fioiu the pioblotn of stntectaft; but the con ttlbutuiy causes to war between "Kin died peoples, speaking the same tongue and joined together by all the ties of common tiadltlons, common Institu tions and common nspltatlons" have btcn io materially decreased a& to leave little necessity for real of futme atmi'd conflict In this direction. It Is significant that this epoch mat King feat of paclllo statesmanship comes as the diteet ftult of the v it lie and aggiusslve position assumed by l'tt'sldent Cleveland one ear ago in bis message concerning the Venezue lan boundary dispute. All the honied speeches, nil tlio soft woids, all the pietty chatter about common Kinship and common destiny which have been offei'd on the altar of Anglo-American peace since this republic began would not in aggregate have made the seil ous impression upon the Biltisli gov ernment that was made when tlio Anieilcan executive on that momoiable occasion laid down the law to Great Btltain In choice, wholesome Anglo Saxon. It put a spur Into the musclos of good citizenship on both sides of the water and caued it to pull togeth er, as never before, foi the conseivatlon of Intel national peace. All credit, then, to Gtovor Cleveland in this one thing, be his other faults w hat they maj . . To Congtcssman lllchs of Altoona, who is chairman of the sub-committee foi Pennsylvania of the house commit tee on public buildings and giounds, WilKcs-Bane Is laigely Indebted for the lavorable repotting of the AVilKes Batrc public building bill. That bill, along with about 70 othets, is now tied up by teasott of Speaker Heed's un willingness to allow such pilvato ap propriation bills a place on the calen dar. There is talk of a tevolt against the speaker, but it is not likely to amount to anything. Wllkes-Haiie will have to wait until the financial clouds toll by. P-e he made the grent majority of tlio Itoauls solidly Domoctatlc, In many In lnnces choosing ex-confedetntes to pass on union applicants for pensions. By putting these boatds under civil service tules lie hopes to keep his fol lowets, including the c- confederates, In position after ho shall retire. The places are vvotth In Pennsylvania fiom $500 to $1,D00 a year apiece and do not lntorfeto with other ptnetice. It to tmtlns to bo seen how far such civil set vice "refoim" will be lelished by the people. 13x-Clilef Justice Pnxson Joins with enthusiasm In the movement to take tlie licensing power away from the Ju dlclury. "I fear the time is not far distant," ho savs, "when men will bo elected to the Judicial olllco by teason of their willingness ot unwillingness to grant licenses. It is unfair to the eminent and upright men who now ptesldo in our coutts to Impose till.! duty upon them. It Is not of a Judicial natuie. The leglslatuie has no more tight to ict'ulrc the Judges to giant licenses thun It has to older them to sweep the fatteets." The wotst thing about tills whole subject Is that what Justice Puxson sajs Is literally and enlitely true, Jectlons Is unanswerable, but there Is a thlid difficulty ytt to bo tecKnned with tlio positive unwillingness of the American people to have their delegat ed authority tt-eucl In an attempt to mm down en n neighboring people n compromise with a fotelgn domination when they ate within leueh of outtlght indopendenre, if the powci ot the United States Is to be used In this matter nt all, let it bo used once tor all, in the behalf of Cuban liberty without (llialltlcattoii or condition. Senator Pentose has himself ended the conttovetsy as to when ho will qualify ao United States senator by saying he will do so as soon as the rifty-llfth congress is convened, What Do They Think of It? Senator-elect Money, of Mississippi, who went to Cuba recently foi put- poses of independent Investigation and who Is now telling in the New York Journal what he saw there, says of the Spanlatds: They never tako piisoneis. They butcher the wounded of the erienij with their machetes on the Held of battle Bveiy In surgent Is Killed who can't get awn. Wejler makes, no sectU of this. The Spanish pollej would becm to be1 one of ex teinilnatlon. All Ungllsh gentleman at Hnvaun, becoming shocked at the ntio eious method of the Spanish and tin It butehiiy ot wounded itbels, wont to Veki nnd ofluted ill Ids own expense to found a lted Cross oeiet to nccompnn the Spanish Hoops to tlio Held us hospital people The Bngllshmnn offered to pay all expenses mid to tnke erne of the wounded of both sides with equal Impu ttillt. Wej lor cut him short. "No," said lie, "we want no Heel Cross society. We will dispatch the wounded lebels as the deseive. They aio tialtois and deserve death. As for my own wounded, 1 cm lake of them mself." ruttheimoie, he says: Tt Is thp Invailable Swinish custom to destiov insuigent hospitals whoievei they find them Tliev rut down the nurses, the doetois. and 1(111 the patients in their cot They make a clean sweep. The Spmlsh vletoi Is decisive whenever thty find an Insurgent hospital. The foicgolng :ue a few of the en tct tabling facts which Mr. Money of feis In evidence concerning Spanish methods of wattate In Cuba. Mr. Money disclaims any connection what ever with the Cuban junta and savs on the honoi of a member of the Ameri can congiess tnat what he has told and Is telling in his dally letteis in the Journal la the actual, unembelllshed tiuth. AVliat do the American people think of it: The Christian Endeavor Journal of this city, of which Mr. James J. H. Hamilton i3 editor, has Issued foi Jan uai a Good Citizenship number, con taining half a dozen ti enchant and outspoken edltotlais on notoilous civic abuses. These editorials are pungent, thoughtful and timely, and meilt widespieud perusal. Flrst-Rntc Common Sense. As bcailng upon tho recent factional intimation that President McKlnley would use his control of the Pennsyl vania fednal pattonnge to break down the tegular Itepubllcan oigiuilzatlon, the following e.xtiact fiom Major Cat son's Washington letter to the Phila delphia Ledger w 111 prove timely read ing Under date of Januniy S this tho roughly trustworthy tor respondent wiltes: President-elect McKlnlev has given an Indication of Ids policy In distributing patronage to an Ohio member of congtebs, which leaves the Inference that he In tends to follow the plan of President Ar thur nnd thiow the lesponslbllltv of mak ing local appointments upon the repre sentatives und state appointments upon the senators. When thtce or tout appli cants for u :aitlculiir office came to Washington with thcli recommendations he would send them to their representa tive and require him to decide which should have It. If the oillclal was to e cicIm) jurisdiction ovei more than one dlstilct candidates were sent to the sena tors from the state, and If they eumo from a Democratic dlstilct and state where there weie no Itcpubllenn senators or lepiesentathes Generul Arthitt would lefei the matter to tlie cnniirnan oi ine Hepublienn committees lie took tho ground that members of congress were the leptesentatives of tho people, and that their acquaintance, association and expei lence In their sevcinl dlstilcts quail fled them to make selections for olllco better than he who was an entire stiang ci to the wants and conditions of tho people If it w is a pool nppolntment he could hold the representative responsible to the people of tho district and requite him to name another man. It can easily be seen that the Arthur plan is based on llist-iate common bense. Says Senator Sheimnn: "I do not sympathize with the movement ino posed to letlie United States notes foi m circulation. I believe it Is easy to main tain a limited amount of these In cir culation, without danger oi dllllcult. Tire maintenance In circulation of $14C, 000,000 United States notes, suppoi ted by a leseive of $100,000,000 In gold, not only saves the Intel est on $.140,000,000 of debt, but Is a vast convenience to the peo ple at laise. The best fotm of paper money is that which Is backed by the government, and maintained nt the specie standnid. The absolute security of these notes was novel called In ques tion, aftei the resumption of specie pa merits, In 1S79, until the leserve was being trenched uoon to meet de ficiencies in cut tent revenue bi ought about by what Is known as the Wilson tariff law of 1894." Thut Is the whole fact In brief. nstute biislnccs mini nnd financier, churchman, ttaveler, conversationalist, orator, good fellow, possessor of noilu entre and Known for a good many oiler declrnble Halls, qualities anil things hM f I lends' hmcmilt) will be taxed to decide along which line to vviltc his epltiph. fie Is one of the i-uveiul remaiknblo and coin, mi ridable examples In Scrnnton of whole sotiled men who refrain from inthet than seek consplcuousincss but whoso good works shine while h'd under n bushel, whether thoy will or no It Is said of him that he has no enemy, a rather unusual thing to say tiuthfully of one who Is so much concerned In public matters.

Tho lepoit that tlie president-elect Is consider Inp the appointment of Chniles Hmoty Smith to the seeietaij shlp of tho treasuiy Is ci editable to both We have said repeatedly and we nie prepared to leafllim ns often as the necessities of the situation may seem to wait ant that Mr. Smith is in every way w 01 thy of the highest honois which his party can bestow upon him. AVith few superiors as an oiator, he Is moieovcr a close and careful student of public questions, a man with power to otlglnate Ideas and one whoso nu merous graces are ballasted by a laige nnd wholesome Quantity of Yankee common-sense. Theie Is no position In public life In which bis admliable iunlltles would not speedllj' asseit themselves, to his own distinction and to the discriminating public's decided gratification. But It Is perhaps tiue to say that Mr. Smith lias ono special fitness, and It points less to the treasuiy than to the state department. He has for years been interested In our diplomatic blstorj". Ills writings for the press, while full of chaim and Instruction no matter what the theme, have been most happy and effective when treating of Anieilcan policies in fotelgn affairs. It is easy to perceive in which direction his personal inclinations tiend. The diplomatist, using this word In its bioader significance ns applying to one who fits the teachings of history to the contemporaij' politics of nations, is stamped all over blm. We question if tlieie is another living Ameilcan who, without oillclal opportunity and incen tive for following in detail the progress of International negotiations, Is better Informed than is Mr. Smith concerning American precedents and traditions or moie fully equipped to step Into the position in Ameilcan diplomacy left vacant at the death of James O. Blaine. AVe realize that this assertion seems a bold one to make; but we make it in full knowledge of all that it implies. If Pennsylvania Is to have a represen tative in the next cabinet, and that rep resentative Is to bo Mr. Smith, let us hope that lie may sooner or later bo placed in the position where he can be of the greatest and most effective ser-vlee. President Cleveland's order putting all local medical pension boatds under civil servico rules would command more lespect If it had not been pteced ed by a general sweep of Republicans from these boards. Tlie custom un der Republican administrations was to select two Republican and one Demo cratic pension medical examiners for Mich county. When Cleveland tooli.01- An Unacceptable Compact. Accoiding to the best-available un olhclal lntormation, Secietaiy Olney, acting for the Vnited States, lias sub mitted to Premier Canovas, acting for Spain, und the lattoi has accepted teims of peace foi Cuba. The alleged agieement provides that Cuba is to govern heiself, collect all tnes and disburse all monejs, Spain being de baned from anjr participation in the lcvenues and from Inteifeienee in Cu ban elections. The United States, for Us pait, is to trj- to peibiiade the Cubans to pay Spain an indemnity, and will offer to Indoise a Cuban bond for that puipoie. This will uffoul Cu ba Independence In ev erything sav in name. There will still be a Spanish gov einoi -general and a retinue of Spanish hangers-on like England maintains In Canada, but they will be figuiehends. All this makes Interesting tending, but It dliectly leads to a number of pertinent questions. "In the fits! place" we ube the admliable language of Hon. Clmiles Emoty Smith in the Philadelphia Pi ess "if the government ot the United States became a party to anj' such understanding with Spain it would Imply an engagement on our pait to exercise all our influence to secure the assent and acceptance of the Cubans. Such an effoit would piob-ablj- be aboitivc. Rut, even If it could succeed, it vvoiild defeat our hopes and debires. The American peo ple do not want Spanish lule continued in Cuba. We want Cuban independ ence. We maj' not believer that this Is tho opportune moment to take a de cisive step, but that is the aim and end which we keep befote us. Any adjustment now Eliort of separation would only be a postponement of the suie destiny. "There is, however, n second and more serious side of tlie proposition for us. If the question were simply be tween Spain and the Cubans, if Spain weie to offer homo nile and Cuba weie fieely to accept it, that would be another matter. With our desire to bee tlie hoirors of this cruel and bloody struggle closed we could wit ness such a conclusion with much sat isfaction, even though it Involved the delay of Independence. What Spain and Cuba might agree to between themselves Is a matter for themselves. Rut ilils negotiation apparently In volves the participation of tlio United States as a direct ptiitj'. It contem plates that Spain shall pledge tho re forms, that the United States shall guarantee them, and that Cuba bhall accept our guaranty when she would not accept Spain's pledge. The success and stability of tho plan would depend wholly on our spoiiborbhip. It would put us into piactical partnetshlp with Spuiu in the ndmlnlstiutlon of Cuba. It would lequlie our constant watch fulness and frequent interposition. It would subject us to the ever-recutring appeals of the Cubans and compel us to make ever-tecurrlng protests to Spain. Can we affoid such a partner ship? How could we carry it on? What agencies or methods would be practic able and effective under such condi tions?" This statement of the practical ob- Tbe stoiy Is lev hed that In his fight for Pentose Senator Quay wtote for help to vailous Peiuibjlv anions on the backs of letteis received by blm fiom them at diffnent periods when thej wanted favois fiom him.
