All friend's of Cuba are tcquestcil to road llio lnteivlew with Gcncial Maxi mo Gomez printed on our flist page It luia In every word the ling of tiuth and justice. Yet this is the man Spain calls an lncsponslulc aduituterl a The Steel Rail War. The dissolution of the steel rail pool, which Is just announced, fulfills a pre diction made on this page about the first of the year. The dissolution tomes In laigo measuie as an effect of the re fusal of the Lackawanna Iron and Steel company, which in the past few months has put itselt In sticngthened position to contiol the eastern market, to submit to fmtlier dunllclty on the part of certain other companies which, while cnjoylnp the benefits of the pool, secretly cut pUces. The dissolution of course means a ttade wat. but it will be a war In the open, and for this the local company Is, we understand, fully piepared. The collapse of restrictions on pro duction will no doubt impart a tem potaiy stimulus to vvoilc and wages. and In this immediate locality such a stimulus will be most welcome. Hut In a laiger sento it will bellkelv to elhnln-atesecond-iateplantsand cleai the Held for an ultimate icoitranbation qC the pool on a Insls of business honesty nnd falines,s. The fact that with ltstilc tlon cnfoiced, 1 ails weie held dining a peilnd of general trade depiesslon at or near the $28 late, notwithstanding that the pool upheld at the seme time a numbei of out-classed mills, will lime exemplary foice In leadlnsr to a new agi cement when the dead wood shall hae been cleaned out of the vav. The late ma never again go as high as $2S, nor with the pensluneis cut off would such a inte bo'necessaiy, but a lint rate of fiom 522 to $23 is quite sine, in our Judgment, to be the outcome of anothei peilod of educational tlnoat cuttlng Tor Scianton the main point in the piesent aspect of the tail tiade is that It piomises to afford the Lackawanna Iron and Steel company an oppoitunlty to demonstrate to the Intel ested public that if it has of late done less lioin blowing than some othci institutions it has by no means been asleep. What ever the Impending wai may cost, we do not apprehend that the bm den will fall In such a mannei as seilousl to Injute the local mills. due consldeiatlon. Hut the fault Is not the senate's. Its objections to the placing In n European monnich's hands of decisive power In disputes between this countiy and Great tliltatn are cleat ly well founded. Uefote the sec retary of state assented to this clause In the nlbitratlon treaty and gave the text of that compact to the world, ho should have been sine of nn effective suppoit In the senate. The whole onus of the snub to Oscar tests, therefore, upon Mr. Olney. The latter Is discov ering at last the he Is by no means the whole government. Plnce nil that Is ald and done In ex ecutive eslon can itndlly be ascer tained by anybody having the leqtils Ite curiosity, how much better It would have bun to have tin own the whole discussion open. If there weie any dishonest men In the present state legislating the Losch gas, witter and light bill would doubt less attend them an excellent club for the beating of boodle out, of thieat ened coi potations McKinlcy's Policy Toward Cuba. The New Yoik Sun Is Inclined to be lieve, notwithstanding his studious sl lencoonthls point, that Majot McKlnley. when he shall become piesldent, "may possibly not folio f Cleveland's exam ple In lespect to Cuba He may not think that it Is his duty to set himself up against congiess as an obstiuction- ist, oi to execute with a high hand, at his pleabuie, the puipose of his own presumption, heedless of the will, judg ment, and puipose of a co-oullnate blanch of the government, and heedless of a just and leasonable public demand. If this should be the case, theio would, indeed, be giound both for Spanish so licitude and for Cuban hope. If, soon after Major McKlnley shall become piesident, both houses of congress should again adopt the belllgeiency resolution which they adopted last ear, or should adopt the independence leso lutlon now befoie the senate, and should sendoneoi the other of these lesolutlons to the piesldent, there would at least be a possibility of a change in this government's ielatlon& tow aid the pat ties at war in Cuba " Tor the Sun, this is a moderate state ment of the possibilities It Is londered the mote woithy of bfllef by the fact that the St. Louis platfoim, upon which Mr. McKlnley was nominated, exptess lj pledged him to use this government's good olllces to tecuie the Independence of Cuba; and also by the fact that among the gentlemen who have been named as his otllcial adviseis, as, well as among those leading Republican sen atois and leprtsentatives who will help to shape his policy, theie is, s-o far as we aio informed, not one who does not sympathize deeply with the cause of the Cuban lnsui gents and feel that un der ceitaln contingencies such as now appeal lapldly to be diawing neai, It will be the duty of the United States, in the nnme of humanity and civiliza tion, to put an end to Spanish sover eignty In North Ameilcan waters. AVe can icadlly undeistand wh cau tious and conservative men like Mi. McKlnley and Mr. Sherman should wish to exhaust eveiy peaceable and amica ble lesouico of diplomacy belore ven turing upon a couise with leference to Spain which might bilng on the ntiocities and the distuiblng excite ments of war. They do not fear a war foieed upon the country thiough its performance of an Imperious moial duty. Least of all, wo Imagine, would they fear a war with Spain, the nation vv ithout a friend. But war In any con tingency Is a pi Ice of pi ogress bo enoi mous that wise statesmanship justly seeks a cheaper bargain and makes the dearer only when depilved of an honor able altei native. That they may bo unwilling to take leckless stops does not, In our judement, mean that the incoming president and his secietaiy of state will view the barbarities In ilicted by Spain on Cuba with either acquiescence or Indifference. Their first pledte is to use their good ollltcs for Tuba's relief. But if these should piove Ineffectual, It does not follow that thoy would be Incllii.d to i of rain fiom adopt ing measures more effectual, Secretary Olney Infotms the senate that Klnir Oscar of Sweden feels hu miliated at the lefusal of the senate to accept him as a permanent umpire. He certainly has not been ticated with Docs Senatoi Morgan suppose that dining the next five jeais (the peilod of the present aibltiatlon treaty's life) the United States will have a piesldent who would select as nrblteis, In a dispute with Great Uiltaln, men who could not be tiusted to uphold Ameil can Intel csls fully as successfully as the United States senate? If so, ho should lose no time in loimlng Yv'il llam McKlnley s acquaintance. For a New Inauguration Day. The pioposltlon Is again being moot ed to change the date for the inauguia, tlon of the piesldent fiom Maich 1 to April SO, and In suppoit of It many Btiong niguments nie advanced Among these are that the change would lnsuie better weather, It would en able congiess to devote two additional months to the business lequlicd of the shot t session, nnd It would peimtt that body to be in session when the pi evi dent Is Inaugurated. The change could be made by a joint resolution of con giess; a constitutional amenument is not necessai, although one would be lequlicd to extend theeim of the out going executive from Maich 1 to April 20 The Ith of Maich was an accidental selection of the ill st congiess for In auguiatlon date; and In earlv times the date made little lmpoitunce an how, for two leasons. In the fit st place, the eaily inauguiatlons weie unpietentlous affaiis that weie not In the least inconvenienced b unpleasant weathe-i, and secondlj, the lecoids show that at the beginning, the Maich fouis of Innuguiatlon eais weie gen eially mniked by much oleasantor weather than hns obtained since. In 100 yeais theie have been twentj-t ev en inauguiatlon das Twelve of them were pleasant, twelve weie stormy Theie Is no lecoid of the vvcathei on the othci thice dajs. During the first fifty jeais theie weie thliteen Inaugu iatlon days Eight of them weie pleas ant, two were storm, nnd the weathei of three Is not lepoite-d During the last flttv jeais there have been foui teen inauguration daj s Only foui of them weie pleasant; ten were stoimy "Piesldent llanlson," vviltes V E Cuitis, "while leviewing the ptocesslon on the day of his Inauguiatlon, and watching the soldleis and citizens tiamplng thiough the slush that was ankle deep upon the pavements, with their garments soaked with snow and rain, lemaiked to a gentleman stand ing neai him: 'Thl3 stoim will cost more lives than a battle.' And the moitnllty icpoited In the newspapeis as due to exposure, not only among those who were engaged In the proces sion, but also among the spectatois, confirmed his opinion " The last ically decent Inauguiatlon day, speaking fiom n weather stand point, was that of Lincoln's Hist teim, which is desciibed In the chionlcles as "cleat and blight." Cleveland's first was also a fall da for March. But all the other inauguiatlon dajs since 1SG1 have been most dlsagieeable; Lin coln's second being "cold, cloudy and threatening, with mud in the stieets," Giant's first, "law, dismal, lainy" nnd his second "the coldest ever known, thermometer 4 degiees below zeio," Hnes', "lalnv," Gnifleld's, "giound coveitd with snow, stiong noithwest wind;" Hanlson's as desciibed above, and Cleveland's second, "rain and snow In early morning, streets cov ered with slush." An effoit will be made dining the next session to extend the" teim of Piesldent McKlnley and change the dates of the meeting of congress as well as the date of the tPi initiation of the session. There w ill doubtless be flnnlcky objection aiising fiom sheet antagonism to what Is Indiscriminate ly called "constitutional tln'teiing," but Inasmuch as the change Involves no disadvantages and piomises sevenl distinct advantages, we Imagine that public opinion will favor It. We are mute than ever convinced, as the debate on the nlbitratlon tieaty proceeds, In Its amiable homblanco of secrecy which deceives no one, that the real opposition in the senate to that Instrument us amended by cummlttco Is oratoilcully loquacious but nutnet Ically small; nnd we still pi edict that the tieaty will bo ltttlficd In ample time and with votes to spare. What, after all, is Speaker Heed's oironco, thnt members should murmur so? lie Insists that In these htid times congiess shall not squander the peo P'O's money noi lot down the bnis to useless extiavagance or dow might Job beij If this be' "czniism," lot the klckcis kick. Those who aicue that criticism of the Ilnnlsburg fire depaitment In volves Insult to volunteei firemen nie slightly twisted. The best way to com pliment volunteer 111 emeu Is to pur chase their w hole time vv 1th good pay. The storj ficm Wnnhlngton that Sen ator Quay will have the naming of the next public pilntei will bo likely to in-cie'T-u his conespondence for some weel s to come. Ite should gun fot the man who stalled it. Wev lei says Spain has for Cuba the "ovei-geneious heait of a inothei." Possibly that is why she exhibits the maible heart of a step-mothei. - - Mi.

At tho beginning of tho present con giess a bill was intioduced lequiiing each contestant of a seat ns well as each holdei of a seat In dispute to file n bond in the sum of $10,000 as a guai anteo that whoevei was ilnullj success ful, the public should not be mulcted foi double salailes. It was designed to shut off meie giab contests where the contestant either goes Into the contest as an Independent speculation oi comes to an undei standing In advance with his opponent wheieby each pioflts no matter how the contest ends We have ueen expecting to see notice that this wise measure had passed, but as yet no such notice has anpeated. On the contrary several expensive and, ns we believe, unnecessaiy contests have since been decided, with aw aid of salaries to both victor and vanquished, and with bills of cost that ceitalnly have not acted as detenents of other contests It Is time that something weie done to coirect this abuse. Con giess cannot nffoid to iemalu lndlffei ent to the sentiment for just economy; and the economy called for In fake election contests ceitalnly comes un dei this head. The Brow n bill to simplify tho Baker ballot law by giouplng the candidates accdidlng to the olllce Is one of those self-evidently good and sensible bills which nearly always die young. The bill lecentlj Introduced In the state senate b Setntor Miller, of Hoiks, pio vldlng for the disposition of costs In i iscs of mlsdemeanot and sui-ry of the l eaco instituted befoie justices of tho peace oi aldoimen, wheie Insufficient evidence Is piodueed to wan ant the magistrate to hold the defendant to ball (to appeal at court, nnd commonlj known as 'dis charge cases" will, If It becomes a liw, matk an important change for the better. The number of petty cases that are tried dally throughout the county whero the "delendaut Is discharged for want of evidence" a, id the count bt comes liable fot the costs Inclined has grown to such alaimlng proportions that Immediate leg islation is neces u to ptotect the Intetost of the tnxpaet. When it is understood that the county pavs on nn nveinge of JM of thee caes eveiy month, the costs of which will nveinge $G pet case, it can be easily seen what It costs the county foi these cises, the majotlty of which nie Humped up, nnd the temalndet so ttlvlal in chatactor that they should never have bten Instituted Under the piesent net if John Jones Ima gines that John Smith has done htm an Injury he goes befote an aldetman or Jus tice and makes a complaint, the magls tinte Issues a wairant foi tho arrest ot John Smith and he Is summoned to ap pear to answer the giave chaige of having "slapped the said John Jones twice upon tho right cheek and by so doing did tho deponent a bodily Injury." After hearing the evidence the magistrate is of the opliu Ion that the testimony is not sutllclent to hold the defendant and he Is discharged and the county must pay tho costs in cut red. The alderman's costs will bo as follows: Information, 50 cents, docket en tiy, 2j cents, wairant, GO cents, oaths, 10 cents each, subpoetii, 2". cents, additional names on subpoena, 10 cents each; hearing ense. CO cents The constable will present the follow lng bill Executing wni rant, $1 , serving subpoena, TO cents, tvvmty miles travel, $1, So that the Injury to John Jones' cheek has cost tho deal tnxpayois of tho county about $0. John Smith goes on his way rejoicing that ho has been vindicated, the alderman and constable are congtntul iting themselves on the way business keeps up and John Jonc3 sneers at the goddess of justice because sae was so blind she could not see the Imp hit or John Smith's hand on his light cheek. Senatoi Millet's bill will, In a laise meas uie, put a Htop to cases of this chatactet, as It provides that the pioaccutor shall pay the costs of the case or give security to pay the same in five unys, anu in ue fault theieof to be Imprisoned for not less than ten nor more than sixty day The result will bo that thoso who feel that thev have been done a "gilevous in juiy" will consider the matter raiotully before they make a complaint and run tho ilsk of hiving, In addition to the Injury, costs to the amount of $3 ot $0 placed upon them To the taxpayets of this comity it will mean a savin,' of about $10,000 a year; to the commissioner's olllce It will save much time nnd labor that ate now taken up in iLCOidlng and paying bills ot thts kind.
