The decision rntiileieil Monday by Ttiltml Stutr'S HlUU'-mt' vault 111 till' case of the uoveninient iigtilnst tin Trans-Missouri Hallway Tialllf uhso t'luUtui Is leoul villi wlilesnveml iiten tlon. It wii'3 1 endured In n lest cane blouBlit liy the uttol'iiey-tfenentl to 11s-i-it-tuln wlether the Rhenium anti trust luw could be applied to nullify ivhut uro ciiininunly known as nill wuy nooN. The defondiint association was made up of representatives of eighteen previously competing rail roads and had been formed for the pur pose if seru-liif,' uniformity In charges. The Mil of complaint alleged that this was an abridgement of ft-pc- eompetl llun and thetefore In violation of the Sherman law "to pioteet trade and com merce against unlawful restraints and monopolies." liy .1 vote of live to four, the Supreme court rules unreservedly In the plain tiff. dliertlun. and, if tin: published summaries of Its opinion do It justice, lays down the Interpretation that the Hli rm.m law Is valid wherever federal uuihorlty has Jurisdiction, to suppress every possible combination intended to limit competition or restrain trade, whether that limit or restraint be reasonable or unreasonable. In other words. It Is within the power of the Vnited States rovornment to decree that In all business traversing state bounds monopolies may be out-lawed, arbitrary restrictions canceled and the way made leady for the freest and fullest natural competition. The ilTict of this decision cannot i? otherwise than far-reaching; hut before u.- ulw way to speculation as to Its lonsi'iiuence, vn prefer to await the ar rival of the decision's complete text. "Wit and brains," says Colonel In pprs'ill. "are a better combination, by a long shot, than dignity and stupid ity." For some purposes. Concerning Naturalization. The fact that It is within the right of each state legislature to define what conditions shall entitle an alien to na lunillzatlini In the courts of the state is advanced as a reason why the gen eral assembly ut Ilarrisburg should at this session take steps to put this Im portant matter upon u moie satisfac tory plane. Xo one knows more ileil nltely than the Inhabitant of the an thracite coal regions what carelessness has upoirocoasions prevailed In the na turalization courts, and while the tend ency of our judges is to' lift u the standard, It Is really the duty of the legislature to come to their aid. A bill to this end has been introduced In the house by Representative Coray, of Iuzerne, but whether it meets the emergency In every particular Is a matter for consideration. It provides, as we understand it, that no alien shall hereafter be naturalized who, cannot reud and write the ICngllsh language and offer a fair explanation of the main principles of our government. Under such a bill largo latitude would neces sarily be left to the piesldent Judge, and If he were disposed for any reason to ease tho process, the restriction might not have noticeable effect. But It is our belief that few Judges would not welcome the chance to throw upon the legislature's shoulders the lespon slblllty for u strict enforcement of a law like that suggested, and thut. therefole, the experiment would lie feasible. In general Intent, at least, it accuids with enlightened sentiment and merits careful attention by the leglslatuie. The time, we think, has gone by when the suggestion of such a restriction upon the sulfrage In this country could be met by a widespread charge of bigotry and the proscrlptlve spirit. Ample experience In wholesale and in discriminate hospitality has bred a taste and, indeed, shown the necessity fur some narrowing of the matter. The dominant thought today la not bitter ness against aliens but concern for the safety of natives and regard for the flfnro of those who, although boiu in other lands, have, become Amerl 111ns In name and fact. It Is Impera tive In the behalf of these that tho pol luting iiipour of unlit guests should be stopped. If It cannot be stopped at the landing places, then let It bu haired at the citizenship cotitt. Tin oillce seeker, In tho opinion of Dr. Dana, has as much right to seek as the olIU-u holder has to hold. Abstractly and theoretically, that is tine; hut practically, possession Is often nine points in law. Excitement Promised. The prospect of a personal contest between John Wanamakor and Senator Quay, ostensibly for the statu treamir ershlp but In reality for the control of the Pennsylvania Republican organi zation, Is offered In current dispatches h one of the political excitements of tho Heuson. Wo suspect that this fore cast .is subject to soino discount, for It hardly seems probable that .Mr. Wiuin maker, after his experience last winter, would care again to court the rough caresses of a political buzz suw. Still, you never can tell what to look fur In politics, ami If the ivi''tn be true which como from Allegheny county In relation to tho expenditure made there last week by emissaries apparently working lu the Phlladelphlan's Interest, It would seem to confirm the theory that Mr, AVanamaker Is electioneering for fur ther disfigurement. Mr. Wanamaker is an amiable man with a weakness for seeing his name la print. When this weakness tukes the fi rm of legitimate advertising It en courages toleration, for then the money passes into worthy channels, llut when It nnnunien'llK' direction of tin oi-jatilsseil attempt to Intioduce bargain-counter PHnclplea Into politic under a tliln veneer of affected holiness for purpos ed dIMInotly fcelflali, then It niUHfox litlci to encounter trouble. The court of Schuylkill county, It Is reported, uro about to consider this plrase of the new "reform" movement; and per chance when they complete their In quiry silme of that movement's pharl wilcul Inflation will undergo 11 shtliiU uge. If .Mr. Wanamakor Is really anxious for additional experience, we know- of 110 man better iiualllled to give It to him than Colonel Quay. Hut It Is open to tine-jtlon whether the fulsome resolu tions passed by what Sir. Van Valken bem somewhat profanely called the ".Miss Nancys" of Philadelphia are ti .i,iltl.,l, ... 1,,. a. .,, I., Iii'lmr lltf. Ill iC chant prlnes oguln Into the uu-nu. Wo shall see. AVould Mr. Wanamaker b besought to enter the state treasurership light If he weie a poor man? In other words, iloes the .combine want him or Ills money V Sentiment, Not Law, Rettilrcil. Among the bills introduced this week at llnrrlrihurg was an Interesting one relating to corrupt practices at elec tions. It requlles every candldnte for public olilce to lllo an Itemized state ment of election expenses, whether ho is voted for at a primary, special or regular election held in any of the cities, counties, boroughs of election dlstilcts of the commonwealth, within ten days after such election. Such statement shall give tho names of the various nrsjns who 1 ecelved inoney.aiid specify the nature of each Item und the purpose for which It uis expended or contributed. There shall be attached to such statement an allldavit to Its' truth, subscribed and sworn to by tho candidate. Any candidate who neglects or refuses to llle a statement for a. per iod of ten days after tho date of the primary, municipal or general election has been held, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall bo lined not exceeding $"i00, or imprisoned not exceeding one year, or both, at the discretion of the court. This 1s substantially the law n'ow In vogue In New York, where it was in troduced with a nourish of trumpets quite out of pioporthm to Its subse quent' usefulness. Its Intention Is ex cellent, but like Miost statutes aimed at widespread, abuses which prosper thiough public Indifference It falls be cause of easy evasion, it is a debatable question whether such laws do not do almost as much harm as good, for the reason that their evident failure to achieve their end casts more or less dis credit upon statutory enactments In general and weakens respect for the law-making function. . Uofore an en actment of this character Is made In Pennsyhniila public opinion ought to" be prepared to demand Its vigilant and impartial enforcement. Until such preparation Is made, Its enactment will be likely to add nothing to the sum of electoral purity, which is already far better protected In law than In fact. The corrupt practices act prepared by the Pennsylvania Civil Service Kel'orm association, which at llrst glance In spired us wllli earnest admiration, 'might be worthy of a trial, for the rea son that It Is apparently drawn so us to offer no visible loophole for guilt; but even this slgnlllcant measure Is clearly In advance of the times and needs back of It, to make It effective, a sell t intent which now is confirmed only to a small percentage of the com monwealth's citizenship. It Is right sentiment which Is deeded now Instead of additional law. it has been estimated by competent authority that the recent prize, light Involved ti total money cost exceeding $.',700,000. It wasn't worth It. Illiteracy in Cuba. An interesting analysis of the popula tion of Cuba, based on the last olllclal census of 1SS7, appears in this mouth's number of Clinton's Magazine. Ktoin it we loam that the f-ar of negro suprein ncj under a republican form of gov ernment for Cuba Is as groundless as In the similar fear In certain of our south ern stuteK. Out of a population of 1,031, -CS7 only 52S, ch tiro blacks, Chinese of n!ireontatlves of mixed races. In oth er words, the whites outnumber tho blacks move than two to one, and aro increasing In numbers while tho blacks are decreasing. Ill the decade from 1S77 to 1SS7 the Whites In Cuba Increased by the number of 117.0CS while the blacks (under which heading are in cluded all races other than Caucasian) decreased by the number of 7,002, or one and one-third per cent. The gnat danger to a republic In Cuba would not come plimnrlly from the blacks os a race, but from the illit eracy of whites and blacks alike. On this point the last census offers dis couraging lotnrns. it shows that only one white Cuban in three can read and write, nndy only about one black In eight. To be sure, no opportunities of education as we understand the term have been alforded In Cuba. It Isunie that In lSbO there were in the Island 1001 nominal schools, or 0110 school for every 1K0 Inhabitants; but by 1S!7 this had decreased to only 775 public schools, not one of which would lit the Ameri can idea of popular instruction. ite gardless, however, of the cause, the fact of a piev.ilence u'f Illiteracy amounting to Ti per cent, of tho total population stands out us n serious peril to any experiment In sell-government In Cuba. We have no doubt that this alarming percentage of ignorance would soon disappear under a fonn of government offering Invitations to native and for eign enterprise. The island s natural wealth renders It easily capable of sup porting In comfort live times Its present population, and tho immigratlun which wouhl bo attracted to It would, lu the main, be educated, If Cuba weie to become a part of tha United States, we would have no doubt whutover of the successful solution of the problem how to ii'liko her lit for self-goverinnont. Tho Cubans that an found In tho United Status learn rapidly and prove, upon the whole, admirable citizens. They of course reprment chlolly' th betterclussos; but It is the lack of oppor tunity rather than any inherent mental deficiency which keeps the lower class is of native Cubans In the bondage of iignorance. The very rerlouBiichs of (culm's plight adds to our sympathy for her and Indeas?? llto eontenipt which any ili-rcn American I bound to en-' tertaln for tlis xoverclgnlty which litis permltled, .If not enuournged, such frightful lllltertuy. Anyhow, Cub.v 1.4 entitled to a trial at governing lio.' solf. Ucports In our Wnshluglon cone spondenco and elsewlioro as to the un likelihood of the rattlleallon of the amended aibltratlon treaty need to bo accepted with caution. The friends .of the treaty appear to bo experiencing another ccare, but when the final line up comes, wo do not doubt that there .will be the requisite two-thirds major ity. It would be very strange If 11 wen1 otherwise. This senate Is not go lug to snub Molslnley within u month -wf his Innuguiiitlon nor run counter to the overwhelming Hcntlment of the .Hmtahle element it. the nation's ettl- beuaiiii. The llaiilsbtirg Patriot fought Pen rose, but It now warns Mr.. Wunnnutk er that If lie goes Into tin state traits urersllp light against Quay ho may not be handled as tenderly as he was In the earlier contest. 'I'lieie Is doubt less a meaning to this hit t'C advice which the Philadelphia merchant would do well to heed. We don't know what point the Srran ton Tlni"S wishes to convey by hyphen ating The Tribune with the Chlutgo Times-Herald, but it Is a companion ship of which tills journal most cer tainly Is nut asliamed. Senntor Turple harangued tho senate the other day lu favor of the direct election of senators. Mr. Turple must want to rellre to private life. Mr. Dana's Sun Is lots better looking since it cenfed to scold so much. Gossip the Capita! Special to The Scrim ton Tribune. Washington, March 21. The Olngley tariff bill, now being discussed In the house, will have a rocky road to travel when It reaches the senate. The members of the senate lliuince committee are ul ready 01 wotk on the vivisection of the measure, and there is every reason to Ih lleve thut it will be alinost unrecogniz able when the upper house gets through with It. Heretofore the general drift of senatorial levlslou of tuilll' bills has been to raise duties above those Imposed by the house, bat this time the trend Is in the opposite direction. (Jerinany Is said tp be Incensed ut the Imposition ol special duties to offset the bounties she gives her sugar growers. There is high authority for the statement that the lumber tariff has already caused special Instructions to be sent to the lliltlsh minister In Wash ington which may subsequently be madu the basis of diplomatic correspondence, All things considered tho tariff light now 011 promises to bo a long and tedious one, ami Just when It will end cannot bu pre dicted. All Indications point to some re ductions In several of the most impor tant schedules In the bill us prepared l,y the ways und means committee. Very few senators believe that tho bill will reach tho white house for the president's signature much before the middle of July or the first of August. If the olilce seekers do not soon stop their raid on the white house President MeKinley will ho compelled to abdicate for a time to recuperate his shuttered health, lie is beginning to show the ef fects of the strain upon him, ami he will either have to close the doors ol the ex ecutive mansion to tho horde of place Hun ters and politicians generally or go oat of town for a rest. Mr. McKlnley's broth er, Aimer, and wife and his mother uro now at Atlantic City enjoying, the breezes of old oeenn and the president may Join them shortly for a few days' recreation. The white house wus invaded by the correspondents ol the various newspa pers reptesented at the national capital on Tuesday last, who culled to pay their lespeet to the new president. Consider ably over one hundred of tho "boys" shook hands with Mr. .MeKinley and wished him a sueecsslul administra tion. Theic yus a striking contrast be tween tho attendance la response to Pres ident McKlnley's Invitation and the visit of tho correspondents to President Cleve land a mouth ago. Less than twenty newspaper men laund their hearts warm enough to pay their respects to the retir ing president, while nearly ten times that number giueted the 'new chief magis trate. The "boys" wein given a cardial reception by the president and all left the white hoiibe feeling that high olilce had not swelled the head of the distin guished occupant of It; that lie was the same Major MeKinley as of old when he was only u member ol congress, and cuuiu in almost dully contact with them. Itiumlng down moonshiners In the mountainous districts of North Carolina Is a Job not hanUeied utter by many citi zens. Htlll there Is one man In the "Tar Heel" state who Is anxious to have that particular Job. His name Is V. 15. Me dulla, who has been sheriff of Transyl vania county, N. C for the past live years. He Is a typical mountaineer, and- withal a polished and ehlvalrlc gentle man. He is a lino specimen or pnysieui manhood, standing over six feet In height, with broad shoulders and full develop ment. While unly SO years of age he has boeu tlli'liti elected sheriff of his county and lias had many thrilling experiences with the moonshlnlng element which In fest the Illuo Itldgo mountains In his stute. .Mr. MeUuhu wants to be marshal of his district, and Is struugly endorsed for the place. He says It Is no sinecure, but he Is willing to tackle the Job for tha honor and money there Is In It. He will probably bo appointed as nobody else seems to want tho place. Tho tariff debates In the house are drawins sood audiences. ICvory after noon and ovenlnit the galleries are crowd ed with people who wuut to hear the new members speak their little pieces. So far very low of tho "tender feet"' have en tered the free for all race, but those who have spoken huve created nood impres sions as orators. So far I'eiinsylvnnla lias not been i-qpok-nUoil by this administration. It Is not for the hick of candidates, however, as there Is scarcely u place within the sift of the president that Is not wauled by some I'eiinsylvnnlan.

" A correspondent of the New York Sun wiltes to that paper: 1 have obderreil tor some time In the' culuinns of a weekly Journal of civilization a sei'es of articles signed by one Carl Bcauuz, numiiiiui.v m an editorial character, but really commit ideations uddrcHSd to I'lesldent MeKin ley, telling him Just what he should- no and what he should not do to run the government success! ully. The "ussiimi tlon of these letters at llrst was that Mr. MeKinley, while a slliCeie man, was mis guided, and ought to exchange his pres ent counsellors for otheis who think themselves wiser. The letters now In timate thu MeKinley Is a stubborn, head strong creature, thoroughly infatuated with his own opinions and spurning the advice of the thoughtful and the pro found. All this Is making ready, appar ently, for the declaration that II must bo linuily confessed that .MeKinley Is a dis honest limn, bent on ruining tne country. Can you tell me, sir.

From the Carbor.dale Herald.

The !-- pie of Oarbondule nor any eonsldcrubli portion of them, nor uny incouslderanli' portion of them never objected to :ie building of the monument. The ouje. Hon was lonllned to the Imasilnuiion of a news uper writer, und we doubt 'hat over. Ilieie it hud a serious existence. The people of this city ore as putuetie as any In the country. They are not onij wllllm but unxlous that heroes ol the na tion shall be honored. They are pleased when monuments are raised to the mem ory of the soldleis and sailors of the Union, wherever those monuments may be. If the county wishes to.rulse such a monument our people lire not so penu rious as to beiii'UdKO the few mills whluh each one would contribute toward the necessary taxation. . Our people are as IntolllKcnt as any In the county and know that If the county builds a monument there is only one lo cution tor It, thu capital of the county. The law specifically says sol Our peo ple uio above the petty jealousies that would say because tho monument eue not be built in Caiboiulnle, thine will uc up monument. It w.ould Indeed be u se ilous reflection on the oluiracter of our city If this weie so; und It would hold us up to the contempt of our nelKhbors for a penurious and envious community. I .cut from the imitation that has already .m unated from this city such an Impvessiun may have been made, we hasten to let Ihe true sentiments of the community be known.
