To this jURt rule we cuunot hereafter nitilio exception. ( drover's Farewell Veto. The ItninlKintlon bill, In lta ilnnl form, did not fully coincide with our Ideas or what was wisest and best. The lit eracy test Inuu'essed us as being too easy and It was open to further objec tion on the ci-omul that it took abso lutely no account of the candidate's character. The provision granting ad mission to Illiterate wives was a need less bit of deference to a misguided sentiment, and, linally, the prohibition of border immigration for purposes of dally toil, while fully within our privi lege ns a nation and strongly defensible on theoretical grounds, was still open to question on the score of expediency. The mere threat of It has already cre ated much 111 will for us In Canada, and has doubtless retarded the natural drift toward annexation making In total u somewhat costly price to pay for the prospective luxury of shutting out a few thousand industrious men who have the poor judgment to own al legiance to her mnjesty, the queen. Hut there defects are hardly sulll clent to justify a veto. The sentiment In favor of a more careful sifting of Im migration is well-nigh unanimous among Americans of discretion, and it is a sentiment resting on the solldest basis of wisdom and necessity. An ex amination of the records of the linnil- giatlon bureau shows that the Lodge bill, notwithstanding its minor faults, which could be lighted uftfi- an expel I mental test, would, if It had been in operation during the past four years, have caused the exclusion of more than half of those Immigrants who, since their arrival In this country, have for some reason or other proved highly ob jectionable. Its good effects, In other words, would fat outweigh its bad, and the bad effects could easily be rem edied by subsequent amendments. Therefoie the executive's veto appears injudicious and harmful. There remains for consideration the final point that the president in tills use of the veto power lias done violence to the best traditions of his olllco. The veto power was placed In the presi dent's hands as u public safeguard against notoriously vicious, Ignorant or slipshod legislation by congress, but never was It intended by the frann'rs of the constitution that a president should arbitrarily thrust ills individual opinions ahead of the carefully-tendered Judgment of the law-making branch. The veto va3 to be a resource in rare emergency, not a club to beat the congress into acquiescence with the executive's personal notions. In the present Instantv a mature enact ment, made after prolonged considera tion and in manifest accord, as to Its main tenor, with public opinion, is neg atived In the dying hours of a disgraced administration simply, it seems, out of presidential stubbornness. Luckily new order of tilings Is at hand. in thirty months the Wilson tariff law has caused a total deficit of $i:;i, 130,171, or at the aggregate rate of $114, 000 a (lay. In thirty months the Mr Kinley tariff law produced a surplus of $2G,C0S,r,ir. Here, In a nutshell, Is 'the secret of! tomorrow's change of admin istration. A Brave and Efficient Officer. No doubt there Is some sense of dis appointment among various members of the Fifty-fourth congress at tlie fact that the intrepid speaker of that con gress, Hon. Thomas H. Heed, lias been like adamant In opposition to all pri vate bills Involving non-essential and non-urgent expenditures of the public lunds. This would be natural, but it will die away. None of It will be left to embarrass the organization of tho Fifty-llfth congress. Under our form of government the speaker of the lower house of congress is much more than the servant of the members of that house. He Is virtually the custodian of tlie people's Interests and their sufeguaid against unwise leg lsiauun. j n ills way lie Is the most In- lluential ollleer of the federal govern ment; very truly might it be said of him that he is '.'the power behind the throne." A great and prudent speaker is worth more to this country, in actual fact if not In appearance, than president and cabinet combined. The powers of tlie latter are great in foreign affairs and In office bestowal; but they have to dance to his fiddling in matters of domestic administration, for lie controls the machinery which makes the laws that they must execute, and moreover lie lias his hand on the lever which frees or shuts off their cash supply. homo time ngo there was a competi tion for tho Republican presidential nomination and the representatives of that party voted to keep Mr. Heed where he la. Superficially this may have had tlie appearance of an under valuation of his worth; practically it was the greatest possible compliment. Any one of a dozen distinguished He publicans could perform satisfactor ily the duties of the presidency, but in the history of this generation there has been onl one other speaker lit to com pare with Thomas U. Heed, and lie is dead. As thp members of the expiring con gress dlspt-rse to their several homes, let them amuse anil Instruct themselves by figuring out how this haid-up. de-llclt-eursed government could posslblv have borne tlie burdens of their ex tra vanillic hud Speaker Heed "let down tho bats." Let them picture lit the, mlnd'.s. eye the reception which would have awaited them among their constit uents, hud they been permitted to shove Uncle $nm still deeper Into debt, on the top of his sa'd' experience with Hon, Grover Cleveland, Tho, contemplation of these contingencies will' tend to cool Hialr pique and put thm into u mqyd to appreciate what they owe to Mr. Heed. Helms been cruel only to be kind. Don't make any mistake about the? Identity of the speaker of the next con gress. Among Keinibllunns only one name will be mentioned for that posi tion, and if the country could vote upon it his election would be unani mous, ' m - Secretary Olney Is a lucky man that his tenure of olllco comes to tin end so soon, otherwise lie would probably lie made io understand the meaning of the word "Impeachment." The Facts in the Case. The publication of the olllclnl corres pondence received by the state depart ment from Consul General Lee relative to American citizens arrested In Cuba shows that every material statement lecently printed concerning the strain ed relations between General I.ee and Secretary Olney was literally true. General Lee did demand to be backed up by the government at Washington under threat of resignation nnd did ask to be informed of the location of our war- vessels and whether they would bo ordered to Havana "at once If necessary." Following are two of General Lee's messages: Feb. HO. Charles Scott, a cltlKeti of the United States, arrested at Jtcgta. INo chin ge given. Been without communica tion jail Havana HOI hours. Cannot stand another Ilulz mauler and have demanded his release. Feb. Si. -Scott released fiom Incommuni cado today on demand utter fourteen days sollttity contliu'inelit In cell live feet by eleven; damp; water on bottom of cell. Not allowed anything to sleep on or chair. Discharges uf the body removed once In live, days. Was clutgecl with hav ing Cuban postage stamps In the house. Scott says went always twelve hours without water; once two days. General Julio Sanguilly, now In this country, says: "1 had the pleasure of a long talk with General Leo before leaving Havana. . He said after thor oughly understandln.T matters lie had made up his mind to demand the free dom of every American now a pris oner in Cuba without just cause, but that lie must have warships to back up his demands. He had made his In tentions known to (Jluej, lie said, and had sent his resignation to go into of feet If the request Was not granted. As a matter of courtesy, lie was waiting now for the new administration and would tell it the same thing. If not sup ported he would return at once, go bo fore the senate and tell them all and show whose fault it was that nothing has been done." The state department does not make public its replies to General Lee, but we have a fulr means of guessing at their tenor in the talk of hangers-on at Washington, about "Lee's Impetuos ity," his "ambition to be again gov ernor of Virginia," etc. It is enough to know that Lee stood for his country men's lights and for his country's honur; and that Ills stand was so (Inn that the Democratic sectetary of state was forced to lie like a pick-pocket In the hope of hushing the matter up. This correspondence shows that Fltz liugh Lee Is the right man at Havana. We do not doubt that he will be kept there, while affairs are critical, and, af ter tomorrow, supported In his protec tion of American Interest.-! If need be by the entire military and naval force of the United States. It is to be regretted that this con gress should have failed to pass the Torrey bankruptcy and the Loud postal reform bills. For its negligence In these particulars there can be offered no suf ficient excuse. Manifest Destiny. The Canadian department of agri cultuie estimates the population of Canada at r.,12-3,43G, which Is probably padded. In 1S01 the ofllclal census gave a population of 4,832,070. Heie Is an os tensible increase of G per cent. In 0 yenrs, or about 1 per cent, a year. In tile same period the population of the United States inci eased, .according to tlie Statistical Abstract, from 01,002,000 to 71,203,000, or at the rate of nearly 'i per cent, per annum. Cunadu's growth in the past six years has been mainly In Manitoba, British Columbia and tlie Northwest Territo ries, and has been induced by the re markable natural advantages offered by those regions to prospective settlers. Hut if a Toronto correspondent of the Sun Is to be believed, there are Indica tions even in Manitoba of a retiograde movement. The land sales of the Can adian Pacific railway in 1S95 were $199, 2b0, and' the cancelled contracts for land sales were ?2S0,2C0. The railway com pany lias over 17,00,000 acres of the best lands In the fertile belt between Winnipeg and tlie eastern base of the Kooky mountains, all within twenty four miles of Its line. Its lands are offered ut low prices on credit ut a low rate of Interest. It will be observed that more sales were cancelled than were made in 1893, and tills is certainly significant. Tills correspondent professes to see trouble ahead for the dominion in tlie confessed failure of its latest recip rocity overture to the United Stutes. He says: Americans may wonder why tho Cana dian ptoducers aro so urgent la their demand for free access to tho American market, but a simple statement of the uailey trade will muke thu reason clear. Prior to the enactment of the McKlnley turift tho duty upon barley entering your market wus lu cents per bushel, and we sent you 9,i;o,6Rl bushels In 1SS7, 9,a7u,7;s in 1SSS, 9.918,217 In 1SSS, und 9,979,911 In 1890. Under tho McKlnley tariff the duty was raised to Gil cents per bushel, and In l&'Jl wo sent you 597.IM bushels. Under the Wilson tariff tho duty was redueod to 15 cents a bushel, and ln'H93 wo sent you 1.70S.370 bushels. If the consumer paid the duty, we should havo continued to send you lurge amounts of barley, as It Is one of tho most profitable clops which our farmers can raise, but as the Cana dian farmer was compelled to lose the duty he wus obliged to cease producing barley. If you i educe the duty to to cents a bushel ugaln, v;p shall send jou 10,000,000 butthels annually; If jou lemove tho duty, wo shall send you 25,000,000 biiHh els annually. This statement, I think, fulrly IlluetruteH the Importunco of free access to the American market for the natural products of Canada. When Pumi dluim are convinced Unit theie Is no prospeiU or hope of obtaining leuluroeltv tens of thousands will emigrate to the United States. Tho Lautier administration will of coin-no conceal Its chagrin behind a lot of bombastic talk in favor of imperial federation, but no trade advantage which Great lirituln can offer will be lit to hold 'a candle to the advantages that would accrue to Cuuadluns from annexation to the United States. A good Jiiuny Canadians are stubborn on tills point and don't like to sue the truth, but thu merciless logic of events Is forcing it upon their recognition. In other words, niunltest destiny Is grad ually uncoiling, Over 10,000 bills and 0,000 resolutions were Introduced In the Fifty-fourth congress, and not one in a hundred has passed. In fact thd record made by tills congress outside "C routine meas ures, h'us not been up to the mark. From sh'oer Inertia In the senate the congress lias been a disappointment. The action of the trustees of the Newark nubile library In ordering the exclusion of the New York World and Journal from their reading room points the way to an effective rebuke of in decent and cotruptlng journalism. The public, ufter all, Is journalism's edltor-In-chlef. Tlio contemplated consolidation of the Syracuse Post and Standard will not take place. The deal lias fallen through by reason' of the Standard's chief own er having ut the last moment llunked. Now wntch Congressman Uelden do a turn In war paint, According to the Madrid press Ameri ca Is n nation of mere adventurers and tradesmen. This is true. We don't have bull lights and we do have justice. Hut what matters it to us wiiat the people of Madrid think? On Thursday next Pennsylvania will conclude a thirty years' war between the Irlends and the opponents of the Cameron dynasty. Upon whose head will tlie next blow of popular prejudice and misconception foil? Says "Tama Jim" Wilson, the new secretary of agricultuie: "I did not conic to Washington to talk." Would there were more like him! Members of the new congress will get no mileage allowance for the extra ses sion. Hut just now tlie walking is es pecially good. If General Lee is playing for the gov ernorship of Virginia we wouldn't like to be his opponent. AN AMERICAN SHAME. From the Philadelphia Press, The Havana correspondent of the Lon don Times cables to that Journal these words- "There Is much comment by all classes on tho fact that the United States government makes no strong efforts to secure protection for tho lives and iirop erty of American cittzens." This Is not the statement of a partisan and It Is not made for effect In this country. It is tho testimony of a foreign observer, and Indi cates an Impression which prevails every where. Whether just or unjust It exists, and It has not grown up without cause. Thu Idea Is widespread that the American government Is lux and remiss In defend ing Its own, and that It can be trifled with where other powerful governments must bo fully respected ana promptly heeded. Unfortunately there Is too much justi fication for this feeling It has been gen erated by actual experience, and by u practical demonstration of the different manner In which different governments deal with this Issue. Several months ago two missionaries were arrested in Tur key and subjected to Imprisonment and Ignominy. The arrest was niudo upon the supposition that both were Ameri cans. It turned out that one of them was born in Canada and was still u British subject. When this fact was developed lie wus Immediately released, but, though months havo elapsed, Ids American col league still remains under arrest at Con stantinople. There are, Indeed, obvious reasons why Turkey must pay a defer ence to British sovereignty whllo It may snap Its fingers at tho United States. Turkey's destiny lies In part In the hands of Englund, und Lngland with the other great European powers rules at Constan tinople, whlln America is remote both in space and Impress. But the difference does not consist In this distinction alone. England protects her own subjects wherever they are, and all tho world knows It. Her flag und her fleets are ever ready to defend those who acknowledge allegiance to her. Had Dr. Hulz held a British Instead of an American, naturali zation paper the British protest at Ha vana, would have rung round the glob'e. Had Sanguilly been a British subject he would have been released two years ago Instead of last week, If indeed he hud ever been arrested. It is true that there Is a difference of relation In Cuba as In Turkey. British subjects are not there to excite tho sus picions or tho fears of the Spanish au thorities, and American citizens are. Cu bans ure not taking out British papers und returning to their own Islund home, und they ure taking out American papers. But while that fact may explain much It does not justify anything of remissness In defending their rights under law and treaty. The truth remains that there Is a universal Impression, which finds voice In the dispatch to the London Times, that the United States government, does not secure protection for the lives and prop erty of American citizens. This feeling has been greutly deepened, and has been largely created, by the present adminis tration's pusslve toleration of wrongs upon Americans In Cuba: and however conservative we may be on the question of Interference In the war, we ought to make It clearly understood that Ameri can citizenship will carry full, firm and fearless American protection. A MUCILNEEDED REFORM. From the Times-Herald. To restore favorable trade relations with other countries nnd ithus secure wider markets for our products the new president must depend upon an elllclent, patriotic and loyal diplomatic and consu lar service. Upon the sagacity nnd en terprise of an Intelligent consular service in particular must come our knowledge of matters affecting commercial, Indus trial, flnanelul and agricultural Interests thnt may be made available by the vast producing Interests of this country. In view of the close relationship which the consular service will sustain to the now administration, the bill to reorganize this department of the government, which has been favorably reported by tho committee on foreign affairs of tho house, Is certain to attract unusual at tention, and, although there Is little prob ability of Its becoming a law at this session. It will go into, the next house with a. status that Is certain to command serious consideration, By the first section the president Is au thorized to appoint a commission to as sist hint in tho reorganlaztlon of tho con. Eiilar service to be composed of two sen ators, two representatives, und one of llcer of tho department of state. Tho bill provides fur a new classification of consuls whereby gi eater elllcleney will bo secured and men of tlie highest atid Ino'idest attainments will be nttructed Into the service, not for purposes of ail ventuie, travel or relaxation from busi ness, but with tho ambition to mako a creditable career In a most honorable calling. Tho necessity for a more Intelli gent and patriotic service In the consular posts has been urged upon congress for years. But these representations have been Ignored until tlie politicians have come to regard the consular positions as rewards for party hustlers; who are as signed to them with tho utter disregard for fitness or uuallflcntlon, many of them possessing not the slightest conception of the nature of the Important duties de volving upon them, In the clasplflcatlon proposed the tuil arlou of consuls, general of the lit at ohms will be raised to W.OOU; consuls general of the second class, j."i,t)00; consuls of the first class, Jl.ouuj consuls of the second class, $2,300. The salaries for vice-eon-Hills tiro also Increased, All fees, both of llclal and unalllcliil, received by any ol (leer of the consular service are to bo ac counted for and turned Into the treasury of thu United Slates. No person below the ago of HI or above the age of CO will bo admitted to tho consular service, anil two-thirds of tho Incumbents arc to bo gradually recalled within three years and tested aa to lltness and quallllcntlon by consular examinations, Matty of the useless and unimportant consular posts arc to ho abandoned. The servleo will also be made more homogeneous by bring ing consuls more directly under the su pervision and authority of the consuls general. These provisions, together with tho plan for gradual promotion of the more elllclent consuls, under the protection of civil service regulations, will Klvo the United States a consular servleo equal to that of Great Ut Haiti, which Is the model consular service of the world. Un der such a law the consular service of the next administration could be reorganized with sole teferetice to the Intelligent, ag gressive and business-like advancement of Ametlean Interests abroad. Under such a remodeled service the consular positions would cease to bo health resorts for those who are old and worn out In party servi tude, and who claim these places not be cause of their lltness for them but as de served sinecures for the solace of their declining years. OUR UNJUST LIBEL LAWS. From the Philadelphia Times. The editors and publishers of Pennsyl vania ask that the libel laws of the statu shall be levlsed as follows: 1. That criminal and civil actions for libel shall be brought only in a single jurisdiction In the state against the same publisher, editor or writer for tho same libel. This would put the editors and publishers of the state upon equality with every other citizen. 2. That criminal actions shall be sus tained for maliciously false und defama tory publications against tho writer, the person or persons who ulctajed the writ ing, the person or persons who directed Its publication and the editor and pub Usher or any newspaper who shall refuse to give the name of the author of any alleged libel. This would punish tho guilty, protect the innocent, and exercise u most wholesome Influence upon news, paper con isijondents, leporters, etc., who have now no legul lesponslblllty for the ubuse of their trust. Editors and pub lishers are the only people la Pennsyl vania who may be placed In the criminal dock, convicted, fined and Imprisoned for a crime, when entirely guiltless of crim inal action or purpose. No such mon strous perversion of Justice Is known In any other criminal case. 3. That under all circumstances the de fendants in a libel case may rebut the presumption of malice. It can be done In a murder casf. but not In a libel case, as the laws of our state hold that any publi cation charging a criminal offense must be accepted as malicious if untrue, now ever Innocently published. 4. That punishment for maliciously false and defamatory libel shall be In the criminal courts, as other crimes are pun ished, und that damages In civil actions for libel cases shall be limited to the ac tual Injury reasonably shown to the jury as having been suffered by the plaintiff. Punitive damages are Imposed as a pun ishment in addition to restitution for tho Injury, and In no other ease Is there tho double punishment of line and Imprison ment In criminal prosecutions and puni tive damages afterward In tho same case In a civil se't. fi. Thnt the pleading in civil actions for libel shall be simplified In accordance with our gpneral pleadings in other civil ac tions, and that the plea of justification declaring that tho material fapts pub lished in the article complained of are substantially true, shall be sufllclent, nnd If sustained to tho satisfaction of the court nnd jury, there shall be no recov ery of damages. What considerations, or what Interests, can Justify or excuse members of the leg islature In refusing a revision of our libel laws in accordance with the foregoing suggestions? HOW TO GUT A NKW CAl'lTOL. From the Philadelphia Ledger. The majority of the recorded legislative opinions on the subject ot providing money for the construction of the new capltol seems to tiend naturally toward Increased taxation on corporations. The majority appears to be always trend ing In that dlteetion, us, for some In scrutable leason, corporations appear to be invailably regarded by the average legislative mind as the nuturul prey of the tax collector. A corporative body is simply up uggregution of individuals or Interest, aiu'the property of the mass of citizens who already under other provis ions of tho revenue laws are tally taxed. The proposal of so many members of the assembly to Increase corporation taxes Instead of to practice wise and just economy, or to deny the Improper de mauds of institutions which annually ap peal to the legislature for state aid to which they have no equitable claim, is not of a kind to commend Itself to popu lar confidence or favor. The aggiegato of the appropriations to Institutions which are not entitled to state aid and which should not receive It would be sufllclent In five years to pay for a cap ltol which would represent filly the dig nity and wealth of the commonwealth. SUIU'OHT II 0.1113 INI1USTU1I3S. From the Washington Post. Despite the sneers of the free traders It Is a fact that when wo buy an article abroad we huve the article and a foreign country has the money paid for It, but, when we buy the same thing here, wu have both the article and the cash. And why should wo go abroad to buy goods that cun readily be made hero If we will put on 11 duty sufllclent to keep up the standard of American wages? We have In our forty-live states and three terri tories the greatest free trade area on the globe and the greatest of ull markets. To extend the free trade privilege to out siders would be to surrender the most valuable of nil our commercial and In dustrial posesslons. Kven if the capital ists of the country were willing to adopt that policy, the working people would offer successful opposition. TOLD BY THE STARS.

The hope of the great majority of Amerlcutis Is that the policy of Piesldent .McKlnley In connection with Cuba will be radically different from that which has characterized the present Admlnls tiation. There has been at no time any wish that the Government should take precipitate action, but the belief now widely obtains that the personal rights and property of American citizens In Cuba ate largely Ignored by the Span ish authorities, and that the latter should be dealt with In accordance with the acts testified to and supported by peo ple entitled to absolute confidence.
