Secretary Olney denies that he save the l.otulorr Chronlulo a "kcoop" on the tirbltrntlon ttiaty Peisonnlly ho may not hnvo done so; hut Inasmuch ns tiro lpolc was In his oillce it amounts to practically the -mine thing. t It 11ns Not. It Is sad to hear the Hon. Kdward J. Phelps demand a "resurrection ot the patriotism of the foiofatheis" In order that the sentiment in this country oC sympathy for Cuba may not he permit ted to disturb the Ptoek miultet. Mr. 1'helps gioly mlslnterptuts the pa triotism ot the foicfathnis If he thinks It would connive at the perpetuation over a neighbor In chains of an oltl tvoild tyranny Infinitely more odious to eveiy dictate of liberty than that from which they tliernelvt.f labelled. This honored Ameilrnn dnelaies, with cntlie tiuth, that "We want no fmelKii vvms of out own seeking. How over glorious It might be to become the bully of the woild, we mut postpone that giatlflcatlon until we set oui own house light" To this sentiment, liovv evei, nu man dlsagiees, theiefoie what Is the sense of utteilng It as It It woio a great new truth? AVe rhallenge Mr. Phelps to point to n single responsible utterance by any American filend of Cuba during the present debate which can by fall Inteipretntlon be eonstiued to Indicate a disposition to hao the United States assume the lole of a bully among the nations. Theie Is no such wish. There never has been. Not foi an Instant has the most Impetuous "lingo" wished otheiwlso than that the United States should stand for justice and fair play; that It should not bottle down Into a state ot ehionlc Indiffer ence to all obligations sue those of baiter and trade, and without other Inspliatlon than that of meie wealth eeeklng If Mj. Phelps will re-read hlstoiy ivlth an eye to Its fundamental facts, lie will find that no nation over long sutvlved the exaltation of Its stock market as its chief theunometer of duty. It Is a fine thing to talk and ivoil; for peace, but It Is worth of re membrance that the God of peace Is also, upon just occasion, a God of wrath. If Amoilcan patriotism has, chilled to the tempeiature whore It e-in view with Indlffeience and submit to, with acquiescence, the biutalltles prac ticed by Spain In Cuba while one by one the Cuban patilots go to death In the false hope of our effective Interven tion, thpn heaven help us. But It has not. The joint committee of congress In charge of the Lodge Immigration bill has wisely decided to abandon the Cor liss amendment making it unlawful to emplov aliens in any fonn of labor In thl country. It was a step too far. Senator Sherman's Interview. The Inlet view purporting tohavobpcn ilivf-n f-uth on Friday night at Pitts burg by Senator Shetman dltectly fol lowing his isit to Canton and ioimal acceptance of the htate portfolio came as a painful surpilse to those Ameil cuns who have been hoping that with the accession of MoKlnley thtte would be a change in our Cuban policy Sen atoi Shetman in that interview Is al leged to have declared in subtunca that he ptopocd to take no new steps whatever, but believed the "United States, as between the Spanlatds and the Cubans, should temalii seveiely neutial. That the senators sentiments have been incoirectly reported, however, is we think, self-evident in the light of his passionate appeal one lear ago for quick tecognltlon and effective intet ention, and nlso in the light of the platfoim upon which Major McKlnley tan tor ptesldent. The latter, it will be tecalled, contained a plank which, after declating American svmpathy for Cuba, concludes with this emphatic utteiance: "The government of Spain having lost control of Cuba, and being unable to piotect the ptopetty or lives of resident Ameilcan eltUens, or to comply with its tieaty obligations, w believe that the government of the United States should actively use its Iniluptice and good offices to testoie peace and give Independence to the island." Tills is a mandate, not to neu tiality, but to active Intervention; and we ate unptepaied to believe that the next sectetaty ot state will either wish or be petmltted to forget the pledges upon which the McKlnley ndmlnlstta tlon was pommissioned to take otTlce. It Is risht to hold, as we Infer that Senatoi Sherman docs hold, that the United States cannot consistently be come a paity in lnteiest to any tetms of compromise which may In future be negotiated between Spain and the Cu bans now in revolt. In the sense that It is not cur's to aid Spain in the at tempted pulling of lie: chestnuts out of the fiie, neutiality is indlbpen tible; but it must not be pushed bo far as to render this exemplaiy it-public derelict in encouraging by all means propel ly within its power the effoit of a neighboring people to thiow oft a hateful foreign despotism. SenatorChandlei wants Sunday news papers to pay postage at the rate ot three cents n pound. If this would abol ish the four-score-poge issues, it might piove worth ttjing. An Unfounded Objection. The Philadelphia Ledger objects to that section In the proposed new libel law which provides that in civil ac tions for libel the defendant may, before trial, apply to the court for a rule upon the plaintiff to show cause why to curity Bhould not bo entered by the plaintiff for costs, including" reasonable counsel fees, and If the court Is ot the opinion that such Bocurlty should be entered "in the maintenance of Justice," It should be given before t)io trial pto "eeds. It thinks this "would bo a man ifest Injustice to poor sultqrs who may be aggrieved by a newspaper juubllca tlon. The enforcement of surh a re quirement would net HUbstantlally an a denial of Justice to miiny plaintiffs and PiieouiuRe libel." On the other hand, the absence of Hlicli a reUlieniPtit lPiidets It profitable for shyster lnwyeis to cnnvnss for libel nultB In the hope of cither getting a commission In the event of winning or foiclng publlsheis to buy them off lath er than sustain the expense of a suc cessful legal defense. Theie Is prob ably no citizen of Pennsylvania so poor that when he Is wantonly libeled ho cannot cot advance secuilty for lea snnable costs. The fart that the exac tion of such secuilty Is optional with the couit is an ample protection to any honest man In any honest court. It the coutt be dishonest, then heaven alone can help him. Senator Coyls ot Schuylkill, who Is the chief ongltu er of the M'hme to pull Jfia.noO a yeat out of the state tieusiuy by means of a mining depot tuieiit, Is also pii'imilng, we ate told, to Incieaso the activities ot the milwuy lobby at llottlsbntg by moans of a bill to rtduce Pullman cat chaige" Senator Cojle evidently propose" to occupy a huge epaeo on tlio stufnee of legislative events. Canadian Reciprocity, The two niPinbors of the Canadian pDtllainent, Messis. Chailton and Km -ler, who hove been deputed by the L iuiIhi' aJialnlsttatlon to bound Amei lcan sentiment with lefetence to .1 possible! lpclotot lt tieaty between this Dominion uoveinmetit and that of the United Statis, have artlved at Wash ington and ate nlieudy pushing tbtlr Iriforrnnl Inquiries nulling the lend'-is in congiess. Although they have been on thegtound tot only a fewdovs, they are lepoited to have nlieudy pui"elvcd the likelihood that their mission will ptove It uitless. They find. It Is said, that the senti ment of those lepie'sentatlvps and sena tors who are most likely to have Inllu enco In tho ftamlntr of the ni'Nt tnilfl' Is almost unanimously In favor, not of lower but of lilnher Ameilcan duties on Canadian imports. As the Wash ington coitospondcnce of the Philadel phia I.pdcer points out, "there Is an urgent demand from, tho Ameilcan fainiets along the entile northern ben der for a estoiatlon ot the McKlnley tale of duty on hay, beeves hoises, breadstuffs and faun pioducts genei ally So lar as these at tides ate con cerned no leclproclty Is possible. The same Is true of lumber. Under the present law tho Impottations of lum ber fiom Canada have been enormously iii'-i eased, and .so keenly have the Ampiicjn lunibotmen felt the competi tion of their Cnnadlan nelghbois that thov will not only demand the old late ot duly, but a veiy considerable in- riease above that. So fai as manu facturers ate concerned it Is not be lieved that the Canadians will accept any ntraiiEcment which will give the Americano a piactlcal conttol uf tlieli matkrt, as would be the case it ieip locity in manufactuies of iron, steel and other articles weio peimltted." The Canadian envoys make glitter ing o vet lutes. Thej offer to do any thing within leabon to piomole neigh botlv feeling; but the gte.U difficulty is that in tetutn for these concessions wegetftee access to tho maikets ot only about 0,000,000 persons while they get nccebs to the maikets of over 70,000,000. Ths trade at best seems bound to be inequitable. The subject meiits caie ful and kindb investigation, but for eveiy dollar given the United States should see to it that it will stand a lea soriable chance to get ot least one other dollar In letutii. As a rule It is safe to assume that when a mAn in politics is persistently and inteinpeiately assailed In the nevvs papeis he is a gieat deal whiter than he is painted. Decollation and vitu peration appear to be indispensable in Ices of political success. This thought is suggested at this time by tho e.tra oi dinar y newspaper clamor which has lately been diiected against the United States senatorial candldncy of Aldet man Mnitln 13. Madden, of Illinois. .o personally know nothing whatever about Madden, and the natuial Infer -ence Is that he is not of "Piiatnrlal size, else he would be more widely known; but tho way he has been attacked in the past few weeks by the almost unanimous in ess of Chicago has cieat ed an luunesslon that he must be a good deal of a chaiacter. Otherwise, why should he be abused so? It Is not a complimentary fact that Penribyivnnlu, while ranking second in population and wealth among the states, should tank only twentieth in the tiumbet of books in her public li braries. AVhete Massachusetts has 1,'.M3, ot mote than a book apiece, we have but 7 per thousand inhabitants, and as ypt veiy little effoit is being iindp to collect the poor bhowirifr. In the Now Dngland Mates the liee llbtaty is le gal ded as a public tieeesitv second only to the liee ohutcli and the ftee school, atrd stute aid puts a second dol lar on lop of every dollat collected locally for llbiaiy puipotes We In Pennsylvania have much yet to leain It Is said nn expedition is tendy to sail fiorrr New York for Cuba r quipped with 2,000,000 cartridges G.00U rilles, four tapid-llre guns, 2,000 gun caitildges and a large quantity ot dynamite and hospital stores; but government espion age keeps it in checlcs It is a ahame that Uncle Sam should have to piny the ferret against Cuba and for a coun tty like Spain. Congiessmnn Sayeis, of Texas, has intioduced n bill which If passed would establish a permanent cerrsus depait ment at an annual cost for wages of only about $05,000. This would be a gieat economy over the ptesent plan and It is belloved would also ptoduco much better and prompter results. Senator Lexow, of New Yotlc, wonts tho legislature to vote an apptopiia tlon to pay tho expenses of a special committee to Investigate tt lists. For all the good it would do, tho DtnpliQ 'state might better save Its money. m Concerning the selection of John Sherman as sectetaty of state it may bo said that precedent favoted it; that Major McKlnley's personal obligations left no other choice open and that it will enrich tho next cabinet with a wealth of oxpeilence such as could be brought to It la' nu other man. Whether In the field of diplomacy Senatoi Rlierhiiri will prove as great a success as Iih bus alreadv ptoved In the domain of Ilniitu e Is, of tuuisc, a subject for fill in p de t imlnatlon; but theie does not seem to be adequate icuson to doubt It. At all events, he will lit lug to the cabinet bonid a sloie of practical knowledge coveting the whole bioud iane of ad ministrative affalis, and this would fully Justify IiIb appointment though he weie never to lift a pen us secietaiy of state. The statements' of James Dtyco on the Armenian question will have weight In America. He says England alone could hnvo stopped most of the massacres without piovoklng a JMiro penn war, had It sent its fieet to Con stantinople in November, 1S93, Just af ter tho first slaughtei. Air. Utyco fur ther says that the Ameilcan minister might have helped the cause of the Christians by thieatonlne the Sultan, but he was "unequnl to the occasion" The only pet sons in the list who seem to have pi overt equal to the occasion wete the Ameilcan inlsslnnnitos To these Mi. Diyco accoids unqualified pialse. His assertions sttengthen the conviction that Chilstendom, In poi mlttlng these murdeis to go unpun ished, has Inclined an Indelible stain. The most sellotlrt point yet lalsed agaltibt the ntbltiatlnn tieaty is the le.it of e-Seetetni.v Ttaey that it would expose the Monioe dootilno to dangpr In ease Spain should wish to sell Cuba oi a slmllni Anietluin pos-es-don to Dngloud lie points out that It Is an essential pimelple of that dnc tiiiie that theie cannot with our con sent be a tianfei of uionait htcul title in American colonial possessions; that when plpsent titles explte, fmcln sov eielgntj must eplie with them. Wo confess that this point oiieia occasion for pause; but we do not see why the ttealy may not easily be amended to pievptit futuic misunderstanding 'along that line. A bill Is under consideration at Wash ington which ptopotcs to give the Inter state Cornmetce commission power to regulate the iatC3 to be chatged for berths on sleeping cut b. It fixes the ptlce of the upper berths ut not more than two-thirds of the piice chuiged tot low er birth; requires tint tho upper bet ths shall pot be dropped or prepaied for use when It lb not to be occupied; pro lilt Its potters li oiu ipcelving "tips" from pjsyengois, and makes the vio lation of any ot these acts a misdemean or, punishable by a line ot not less than $100 nor mure than ?1,000 for each of lense. "We fear it is too good to be come Hue. - m Spain is spending S10,000,000 a month in Cuba, and hns spent over $.100,000,000 since the wnr began. Does anybody Imagine she will not tty, if the lebels aie defeated, to get it back out of them? YOUNG BLOOD IN THE SENATE. rrom the Philadelphia Inquirer. Poles Penrose was born on tho 1st ot November, 1SC0 Ho will become a sena tor of thu United States on the fourth tiny of next March at the age of JG years, 4 months and 4 days. He will bo tho youngest member of that body with the slnglo exception of Marion llutler, the North Catollua Populist, who was bom on the 20th of May, 15,03. and "who took his seat in the sen Uo on the 1th of Match, lS'G Mi.

Youth is a good thing when it is supported by Intelligence. Many of the best known members of tho senate en tered that body years ago when young, and hnve made for thcmbelves a name and for their btates fame Penrobo came from Harvard college, studied law, and was elected to the state house of repre sentatives nt the age of .'3. The following year he was sent to tho state senate, whero he has served for ten yeais, pa-t of the time as Its presiding olllcer. This has been excellent training, and now that he goes into tho national senate ho has the samo oppoi Utility before him that many of our famous men long ngo ac cepted Mr. Penrose's futuie depends upon himself. That ho will make the most of It cannot bo doubted That ho will be come a credit to Pennsylvania Is wholly probable. It Is lutetestlng to noto In this connection tho careets of some of the men with whom he will come In contact. John Sherman, of Ohio, has made a his tory for himself and for his country, and it stretches b ick foi many years Sher man was born In 1823 He wns admitted to the bar In 1SII, nnd immediately took nn active part in politics. He was a dele gate in the national Whig conventions of ISIS and 1S3.', and presided over the first Itepubllcnn convention In his stnto of Ohio in 1SI3 Then he wns sent to con gress tot four terms mnl went to the senate on the 4th of Match, 1SG1 He was then but 3S yeais of age.

Senator Aldtlch, of Ithodo Island, began his public career at an early nge. He .was born In 1SI1, stntted In polities as president of tho Providenco common council in 1871; then ho went to the Ithode iBland geneinl as sembly and was elected speaker. Prom tho assembly he entered congress, and succeeded Ambroo IJ Durnsldo In the United States bennto on tho Cth of De cember, 1SS1. Ho was then 40 years of ago, Clor man, tho Democtatlc leader, and at one tlmo a page In tho United States sen ate, became a member of Hint body at tho ago of 42 Senntor Prye, of Maine, went to congiess wherr ho was about 3S years old, and was elected to the berrato nt tho ago of 50. His colleague, Senator Hale, was 13 when he took his seat. Our own Don Cameron succeeded his father In 1S77 ot tho ago of 41. In this con nection It Is curious to noto thiit Senator Quay wns botn In tho snmo year that Cameron first saw tho light of day 1SJ3 Ho went to tho senato In 1&S7, nt tho ago of 51, but meanwhile ho had had a long public career, not ouly ns an army of ficer, but as private secretary and mlll taty sccretaty for Ooveri'ot Curtln. Af tet tho war he served twe, terms In tho legislature and for sovetal years was sec retary of tho commonwealth. Ho was atato treasurer when elected to tho sen- ate.

Onu of the new senatoi s who will bo heard fiom Is Knuto Nelson, who took his seat In 15,93. Nelson was born lti Nor way In 1813, and et In 1S0S, at the ago of 2", ho was a niembei of tho Wiscon sin IcRlalntinc. having served previously through tho wnr. Ho removed to Min nesota and from 1S75 to 1878 wns a mem ber ot tho stale senate. Then ho was sent to congress for threo terms.

The theater, from Its humblest supernum erary to its loftiest exemplar, has bean mado to suffei this mlbcrnblc prostitution of art.
