"Wo rcBrot the necessity for liuvlntt to ncolil common council: but In view of Its course, what else can It ex pect? The Saturday Tribune. The Tribune- tomorrow will lie an other magnificent slxteen-pago paper, interesting as to content!), and attrac tive In appearance. In addition to Mr. Footo'u admirable prize story, it will contain n selection of letters of travel and description and a fund of Instruc tive miscellany which, added to the leKUlnr news, literary and editorial de partments, will round out a number of exceptional met It. It Is our aim to produce on Saturdays a paper fit to be talu'ti Into the home circle for rending at spure moments on Saturday and Sinduy. Thnt there Is a Held In this community for such a journal Is shown in the rapidity with which the circula tion of the Saturday Tilbuno Is In creasing. Last week, notwithstanding that an unusually largo edition was put on the press, every ropv was Hold before 8 o'clock In the morning. To morrow, we hope to have a sufficient supply to meet all demands, but the safe plan for newsdealers and agents is to order extra copies In advance. No reasonable man will object lie cause the president wishes to be ab solutely sure of his ground before tak ing up the Cuban matter. Hut It would be unfnlr to the will of the people to delay action one moment longer than necessary. . Indefensible. It it most decidedly not to the credit of the Pennsylvania legislature that It should virtually have killed the Hamil ton good roads bill by supci adding to it an nmendment Indefinitely postpon ing the date at which the measure is to become effective. It Is Impossible to believe, in the face of the overwhelm ing expression of public opinion which lias hem made In favor of this bill, that the legislature's course with reference to It has been other than wantonly neg ligent. As in the matter of libel re form, a large percentage of the mem bership of the state house of represen tatives has seemed to go counter to the course of manifest wisdom and Justice solely through, lnheient perversity. The constituents of these members -v 111 be false to their own interests In future If they do not hold them to a strict accounting. The nentleman from Susquehanna, Sir. Moore, who offered the amendment that took the life out of the bill, has taken the pains to explain that his ac tion was prompted not by malice but by kindness. It Is to be wished that Mr. Moore had gone enough further In Ills apologetic excursion to make clear1 how kindness for the good roads move ment could liavo dictated an amend ment which bids fair to set that moe ment back nt least two years. If It be Ills notion that the farmers In his dis trict are opposed to the Hamilton bill, how does he account for the strong support which that measure has re ceived from tho agrleultuial element in all other parts of the common wealth? If, on the other hand, he 1 conscientiously opposed to efforts to improve upon the rut-strewn dirt thor oughfares of the days of his grand fathers, why does ho not have the frankness to declaro himself openly and courageously, and not pose as tho friend of the movement whose only evidenced woik is that of manifest un friendliness? We are free to confess that wo havo quite lost patience with that- concep tion of tho legislative function nowa days to common which considers prop ositions for the public welfare not from the standpoint of their real utility but in a spirit of sheer contrariness. It Is about time for the friends of good roads in Pennsylvania, to got their lighting boots on and to go after the smart bolons who blockade progress In this direction for no other conceivable reason than that it projects them into transient nubile attention. Tho Scranton public is assured of a treat In tho lecture which Colonel George Nox McCain will deliver this evening In tho Penn Avenue Uaptlst church. Colonel McCain's description of Venezuela, its natural peculiarities and Interesting people, Is not only vivid but decidedly instinctive; and It will merit the attendance and atten tion of every Serantonlan Interested In our South American neighbors. Why Not n Balkan Empire? Among tho possibilities growing out of the Orneco-Turklsh war that which probably gives most concern to the European diplomatist 1b the likeli hood of a Ilalknn alliance, thnt is. nn offensive nnd defensive compact among Servla, Itnumonla, Hulgarla and Montenegro. The fact that these states, upon whom Greece depended for, holp In her onslaught upon the common Turkish foe, held back as If In concert for ulterior ends, give color to thu surmise that Important negotia tions may be in progrexs among them. A complete poljtlcal union in unllkel at this time. The powers would- at once provont or disrupt it. Hut clocqr harmony and an -unwritten law ory unified notion In nffalis 'relating to the Porto nre at least possible, nnd should those conditions materialize It would have an Important hearing on future European polities. ". Should these four principalities be merged into one, tint one would have an area of nearly lOO.'OOO' square miles,' or about equal to Spain; a population Of nearly 10,000,000, or greater than that or Hrazll; and an effective .Ifiht- lug foreo of over 100,000 officer and men. It would control one of Europe' most fertile grain IteMa, would bring together some of the hardiest racial stock In the world and could go in to the business of confederated govern ment almost In freedom f-ni debt. A Italknn confederation might nut be able to resist Hitssla unaided, should Hussla iindettnke to force the sover eignty of the crnr upon It, but It could glc the bear 11 lively tussle, and could make shoit woHt of the Ottonmn em pire. Such a, confederation may Ik? only a dream or, the far future, but It Is not more Improbable now than was confederated Germany a decade before lllsuiatck began to pull the Htilnttw for Its consummation. The main obstnrle appears to be that the Balkan: lack a Klsmarck, Tho esteemed Times makes a des perate attempt to Justify the course of the Democrats In common council in wantonly tying up tho city appropria tions; but It must understand that there la a difference between reason able amendment and puiely factional pique. In the last estimates commit tee the Republicans hud a majority and by every 111I0 of fnlrnns3 weie entitled to Impress their views upon the appropriation ordinance. The tilckery of the last common body In killing that ordinance by u par liamentary ruse exhibited flagrant dla-i-"gard for the uenernl -welfare of the city, and the entire course of the pres ent majority In U13 lower branch has been on the nino picayune level. What may have occurred y-nrs ago Is not to the point. It Is the present of whlcn wo ate speaking. The Republican select council never yet tied, the city nuances into a knot. Two Lessons front the Past. Tho depaiture of Mr. Calhoun for Cuba, under a special mission to report tho true situation in that unhappy Island to the president, for 1.1s guid ance In the adoption or a Cuban policy, lecalls to a correspondent of the New Yoik Sun. two previous intshleiis of similar import. In 1810, while Uuetirr. Ayres was In revolt against Spanish domination, President Madison des patched Joel Poinsett as .1 special agent to the seat of the revolution, with the following Instructions, drawn by Secretary of State, afterwarJ Presi dent, Monroe: As a crisis Is approaching which must produce great changes In the situation of Spanish America anl may dissolve alto gether Its colonial relations to Europe, and as the Koographlcul position of thu I'nltcd States and other nlnlous consider ations nlve them an Intimate interest In whatever miy affect the dotlny of that pint of the American rontimnt, It Is our duty to turn our attention to this lmpor ant subject and to take such steps not In-comp-itlblo with the neutral character and honeit policy of the United States as the occasion renders proper. With this view, you have been selected to proceed without delay to Jluenos Ayres. You will make It your object, wherever It may be proper, to diffuse the impulsion that the United States cherlh tho slncerest good will toward the people of Spanish Amerlei as neighbors, ns belonging to too same portion of the globe, and ns having a mu tual Interest In cultUatinu- friendly Inter course; that this ril-posltlon will exist whatever mav be their internal system or European relation, with rcpect to whlc.i no Interference of any sort Is pretended, and that, In the event of a political separa tion from the parent country nnd of the establishment of nn Independent sys'em of national eocrnmcnt, it will coincide with the sentiments nnd policy of the United States to promote the most friend ly lelations and the most liberal Inter, course between the inhabitants of this hemisphere, ns having all a common In terest and as lying under a common obli tiatlon to maintain thnt system of peace, Justice, nnd good will which Is tho only source of happiness for nations. Two years later Ven'suvla derlnred Its Independence from Spain and sirut ed to battle for freedom. The lTnlted Slnteo promptly recognize 1 thi Vene zuelans as belllger-its and "President Madison Bent Alexand r Sc tt to Cc.in cai with these Instf tie) Ions: A principal motive in delaying to recog nize In greater form the independence of tho government of Venezuela proceeds from a deslte to ascertain how fur those provinces arc competent to Its support; by which Is to bo understood the lntelllgen of the people, and their union and decision In Its favor. If the people are resolved to maintain their lndnpendc nee, their success steins to be Inevitable. You will be sensl he that the United Stato cuimot fall to toko a deep lnteiest in tho establishment of a republican govt rnment In those pro vinces, from a belief that the people will bo happier under It, and the greater con fidence which must exist In consequence of It between us. It will be noticed that while these two letters of Instruction contained no word that could bo construed as unfriendly to Spain, they were distinct in their expressions of sympathetic Interest fur the success of the republican move ment, nnd between the lines they dls clused the genesis of the policy now regarded us sacred by every trui Amer icanthe Monroe doctrine. In aeh case the Stiuth America a republicans triumphed and it was American rec ognition and encouraaement that helped them to do it. In Cuba today a war for freedom Is being waged, and for two years we have made no ofllet U effort to nsccrtaln the facts, but in the face of gross, outrages known to havo been praotlced by tho Spanish soldiery and officials upon American citizens in Cuba nnd at great coat to American property in that island, this government has policed the seaboard cities and patrolled the seas in order to aid Spain in prolonging an unnatural sway. It Is proper thnt thin om of disrepu table Indifference should lie halted, and the 'machinery set in motion for even tual action In the interest of human ity, Amc-dcnnUm and civilisation. . Senator Quay's conception of civil service reform appears to be more or less synonymous with civil service re peal, so far ns the Cleveland pattoin Is concerned; nnd wt gueas he is about right. The question raised hi the New York courts as to whether the Salvation army Is a nulwano depends for Its an swer on the point of view. Satan would probably hold that It Is. S&fow let the Tuilc turn around and wjean out me nve "unrwtmn" powers, ayd all will be forgiven, The hill Introduced on Wednesday at Ilarrlsburg prohibiting the playing of baae ball or foot ball on Sunday, under penalty of $28 fine -or Imprisonment for ten days, Is a sensible proposi tion which ought to tuuw. The enact ment and enforcement of such a stat- tite would Impose n wholesome Influ ence upon the rising generation. Turkey's demand upon Greece for $15,000,000 Indemnity might just as well Ive multiplied by ten, so far as any piospect of getting It la concerned. Greece- could with difficultly pay $18. Paul Kruger might with profit study the end example of King George. Gossip at the Capital Spoclal Correspondence of The Tribune. Washington, May lit. I have taken considerable pains within the last few weeks to llnd out, by caierul Inquiry among members of the house who hae been nt, their hoitnes, to what extent It Is probable the sllvr Issue will In tiude Into the stato campaigns of this j ear. You knou members of the hoUBt are not oppressed Just now with thu big strait's of statecraft, and have tlmo to think of home politics, and even to be stow an occasional Klnnco at the manner In whlcM this or that Issue may affect their perronal ambition, though, of course, every good congressman thinks of himself last and least. The lestilt of my Inquiries Is all the moro Interesting on account of a report f.ent broadcast that the silver Issue would bo the Issue above all otl eis In the Ohio elec tions, upon the conclusion of which the return of Mai It Ilanna to the senate de pends. To sum up "the substantial por tions of the rrplies to many questions It may bo sail that the assertion is quite general that while free coinage wljl be tolked of more or less, candidates will not be nominated with reference especially to their silver views, and lines will not bo drawn upon that question. Tho feeling of the Democratic leaders may be well es presseii m the words of one of tho chler est of them. o "It would be folly,'' said this eminent Mlvcr Democrat, "to attempt to intrude the money question Into state or locrl politics In this off year. The people feel just as strongly on tho subject ns they did last year, but It would do no good to mix It 110 with local and state questions. Tho iiollcy of tho Democratic party at this time Is to wait the failure of the Ib publlcau policy. You. anay think that li not great statesmanship, but It Is the statesmanship of all history, or. at least, the hlxlu'y of popular government. There is no use of denying thnt the politicians of all parties make extravagant promises In regprd to the benefits likely to accrue from the success of their respective prin ciples. Prcfbnbly never beforo were prom ises more extravagant than last year. I do not belli vo the success of the Di n ocrats would have bi ought the prosperity nromlsed In tho event of the adoption by the country of the free coinage Ideu. To begin with, the passant of a free coinage trill would have been doubtful, or the re 1 ult only of a prolongi-d struggle. Hut we were not successful, and the Republi cans weie, and It Is the Republicans and rot the Democrats who must make good the lies of the campaign. I am re illy jubilant that tt Is their Job, and not our.. I believe, however, that if we had suc ceeded, and had been able to enact a fr, e coinage bill without delay, thus lieglmilng at ome to Increase tho circulating medi um of the country, wo would have been In better position than are our Republl cin friends, who are not only finding It illfllcult to pass their tariff bill, as a re sult of which they have promised pros perity, but ore quarrelling among them selves and accusing each otner of being dominated by trusts, and are throwing 7mni betivi en the botiii and the senate In the most unparulleled and frlphttul man ner. To hear the opinion of tle leadcis of the house In regard to the, leaders of tho senate one would think the latter were a t-et cf thieves, and I suppose the opinion of tho senate leaders in legard to the house leaders Is equally pi -arant and complimentary. With this condition of nffalrs w- shall try to win fall elections as far as we can on local and state re form issues, and upon tho growing dis content with tho action an 1 non-action of the Republican leaders In e-onsre?s. We shall simply do all we e-an to strength en our lines for the congressional contests of next year. Thnt will he sufficient, and I have not tho hast doubt that wo will elect a sweeping majority of tho house and make a gain of one or two members of the senate, which body we icully con tiol at this time.' o That was really a delightful little com edy that was enacted In the president's room a day or two ago. when a delega tion of Utah "magnates" called to urge the president to be present at the celebra tion In July, at Suit Dake City, of the "pioneer Jubilee" of Utah. The president, quite softly, promised to conblder the Invitation favorably, provided tho tariff I 111 were oet of tho way by that time. Looking around upon the company pres 1 nt, he said: "Jly the way, there U nearly a quorum of tho senate present, d'-ntlemen of tho senate, what do you think about It?" "I don't see why wo should not dispose of tho tariff bill within six days after we n't at It," tali Senator l'ettlgrew solemn ly. "Oh, we'll rush the bill right through, after the PUh," nald Cannon. "I don't see any reason why wo should not flnih up everything nnd adjourn by the first of July," said Cullom, with that profound seriousness for which the wear er of the' mantlo of Abraham Lincoln is noted. The president smiled, tho senators smiled, tho delegation from Utah smiled, dnd all were still smiling when thp pi evi dent bowed, the company of comedians out of J.ie door. c "The dcclfcion of the Supremo court of the United State In regard to the iler llner patents." said a noted public man to me today, "forcibly reminds me of the rmaik of a famous general that 1'rovl dence Is always on thu side of the largest and best equipped n'mles. Tho Supreme i-curt, being next to Providence in thl uroat country of ours. Is always on the slclo or the big corporations, tnererore ino bis corporations are always right.

Hy tho way, did you notice the curious recovery of IM1 tehphoim stock In the market after a period of depression? Just nbout the time when It was known (how did it come to be known?) that tho court wus nearly ready to announce lu decision, the stock began to rise, uud within tho lust day or two previous to the promulga tion of the opinion It fairly Jumped. It rVe'S seem to mo that the eminent justices should be more careful In regard to tho young men they employ as their private, secretaries." 8 The new secretary of agriculture Is cer tainly the most comprehensive nnd uni versal gentlsmen who bus eier held down a chair hi the department of pumpkins, lie has Just Issued two "brochures," one entitled "Dietary Studios In New Mexico" and tho other "Dietary Studies of the Negro lu Alabama." It Hc.em to be a dominating economy with llm to discover how little a human being needs for the maintenance of life, lather than to dis cover how plenty of food of the very best kind can be placed within the reach of all. It has been suggested to the kecre tsry that he direct his "scientists" to de vote a pn ' ; hist to "Dietary Studies of cor--c iv 1 an 1 cabinet officers at Wasti Cii'tni " Speaking of the Important matter of congrcasional alimentation, a famous con- gressmnn tho other day Invited one of his visiting constituents, an'ollhe-seeker, of course, to luncheon with him In the sen ate restaurant. "What will lou eat?" said the states man. "Oh, any old thing will suit me," said the O. S. , "Well, give your order. Nothing Is too good for you, you know." "Well," said the O. H remembering that he hid no end of favors to salt of the statesman, "Just give me a sandwich and a cup of coffee." "is that really all you want?" "That's ell." "Well, waiter, you may fetch me some green turtle soup at once, nnd then a nice plate of lamb fries, one of your Incom parable shrimp salads, ncy llerinuila po tatoes, with crpnm dressing; raw sliced tonntoos, covered with crushed Ice; H few stalks of fat rtparagu, and Just a glas of snuternc. .And, waiter, you may put a stnull bottle of CHcquot on Ice for mo.' It Is unnecessary to sny that the O. S, hugely enjoyed his ham sandwich and cup of cofTee. This mny be supplemented with a.lttllo story told by Colonel Joe Johnston, who has been a postoirice Inspector for long years, and Is an old chum of Dockery, of Missouri. Tho other day, after dinner nt Wlllards, the two stepped to the clgnr stand to get what is Indispensable to uvciy true Mis sourlan. "Let's hnve some of the kind or rlrtnrs Dockery nlwnys smokes," said Colonel Johnston. "Here, Dockery, take one, and put two or three In your pocket," added the colonel, with much exhibition of con scious llheinllty. Dockery availed himself or tho treat, but without great enthusiasm. "Now," said the colonel to tho man of cigars, nnd beaming with comfortable f cling, "givo me somo good cigars for myself," The treat to something c'.so was on Dockery.
