SCHANTON, MAY 25. 1S97. The lurcjonco that lllps-rturre Is somewhat wicked heraelt' Is derived not from pernonnl knowledge, but from the Newc -Dealer's files. Weylcr's Venomous Yelp. The Interview had on Friday at rien fuegos, Cuba, by Otcar AddliiRton with Captain General Weylcr may have been accurate or it may have been evolved from the correspondent's in ner consciousness, but In elthei event it expresses what the Spanish com mander very probably tliottsht. It tallies so closely with the iittPiances made on the same day by the prims minister of Spain before the Hpnnlsh chamber of deputies that we may not unreasonably accept It as tiue. . .YVcyNjr. first chorped th senate with jingoism In passing- the Morgan reso lution, alleging that Its purpose was to embarrass President McKlnley and divert the attention of the American people from their "fast-approaching In ternal crisis," ' whatever that may mean; and then he continued: "The few scattering bands of Cuban dyna miters, railroad wreckers, horse nnd cattle thieves, plantation burners nnd highwaymen now In the field here, who hold no port and possess no seat of civil government, have no right to ex pect recognition. Filch distinction at President McKlnley's hands. Issued In the face of my own proclamation oM clally declaring the greater part of the Island to be already pacified, would hold the Washington executive up to the ridicule of the European powera and cause a prompt and healthy out burst of sympathy for the Spanish cause, especially from neighboring Old World governments also possessing col onics in the West Indies. In brief, recognition may aid the Cuban Junta In placing a few bonds In the United States, but will at the same time as sure the successful issue of our pro posed new Spanish loan in Paris, Lon don and Vienna and enable us to carry on the war with renewed vigor." Ir. that event, it might pertinently be Inquired why Spain, through its representatives at Washington, objects so strenuously to the belligerency pro gramme. In fact, this question seemed to present itself to Weyler's own mind, if the Interview from which wo are quoting be genuine, for he immediate ly afterward remarked: "Personally, I shall be glad If jecognltlon comes Our position will then be more clearly defined. It will work a virtual abro gation of our special treaty with the United States, place Yankees resid ing In Cuba in an identical position before the courts with other foreign residents, and I shall be troubled less by the constant complaints and often ridiculous demands from American con suls. It would also relieve the Spanish government of all responsibility for the destruction of foreign property not ac tually within the line of Spanish de fenses and further simplify matters by assuring us the right to board and search American vessels whenever sus pected. For once I shall heartily re joice that the emptiness and hypocrisy of the United States government's oft reiterated professions of friendship shall be finally unmasked. I have al ways had little confidence In the sin cerity of Its assertions." A slap like this at his good friends. Cleveland and Olney, was most ungrac ious. Surely they have earned Wey ler's conlidence and gratitude, If such things can be earned by persistent co operation. The main Interest for us in this Interview, however, lies in its sustained conceit. Weyler. like Cano vas, undertakes to escape self-evident facts by deliberately shutting his eyes to them. The proof that h has not "pacified" Cuba Is supplied by our own consuls, by all visiting observe: s of the Cuban campaign and most of all, by the continue! presence In Cuba of an enotmous military force. A "paci fication" which continues only so long ns the Spanish army keep3 its rides aimed Is as much like belligerency as anything can be. Putting this braggart's yelp beside the equally arrogant talk of Premier Canovas before the deputies, and re membering the tono of tint Duke of Tetuan's reply to Secretary Olney's offer of mediation last year, It be comes clear that attempts to coax Spain to let go of Cuba offer absolutely no piomlso of success; and we have left the fast approaching necessity for a decisive btrokc by the American ex ecutive, which will end this miserable business forthwith, though It take mus kets and war-ships to do It, When the Democratic senators op pose a tax on beer and favor one on coffee they evidently have an idea in what quarter It pays bsst to accumu late a "pull." Conkllng, Piatt and Garfield. One of the most interesting magazine, contributions In a long time will appear In the June Cosmopolitan from the pen of Thomas 13. Connery. Its subject Is tho ConUlInjr-Garfleld tragedy and It will disclose facts concerning that memorable and romantic political epis ode which aro new to the general pub lic Mr. Connery at the time of Conk llng's break with Garfield was in charge of the New York Herald, and before Conkllng burned his bridges In the war upon the administration ho exacted from Mr. Connery a pledge of the Her ald's bupport. On this account, Mr, Connery was put in possession of the whole Inwardness of the feud, and his narration of It makes a page ns read able as the Intensest fiction. The narrative of Mr. Connery con firms the popular Impression that Gen eral Garfield, despite Ills great natural 1 ability, was weak and pliant under the manipulation of strong men like Mr. Maine; that ho made and broko prom ises with a fatal facility nnd that, as tho ethics of politics goes, his was tho first fault In the break with Conkllng. On the other hand, tho Intolerable pom posity, selfishness and arrogance of Senator Conkllng are set forth nnd con firmed by Mr. Connery with such dis tinctness and wealth of new detail that the reader of today, free from tho pre judices which confused Judgment at the time of the row, deems It almost a fit punishment that President Garfield did deceive Conkllng nnd Indirectly cause his retirement from public life. One point In Mr. Connery's paper will attract especial atentlon. It Is an Incidental allusion to tho relations be tween Conkllng nnd Piatt; and It es tablishes vpry conclusively that Mr. Piatt, In resigning from the senate simultaneously with his colleague, did not act as a mere "me, too" fiom a sense of slavish fealty to Conkllng, as was the general belief at the time, but because of pledges to which he pre feired to remain true though It then looked as If to do so would cost him his whole political future. The independ ence of Mr. Piatt toward Mr. Conkllng was fhown shortly afterward, when the latter, having oni day grown abusive because tho former ventured to express an opinion different from his own, was pointedly nnd publicly told by Mr. Piatt to "go to the devil." A perusal of this spirited narrative of the troublous times of the last Ohio president Is Instructive to tho student of politics by reason of the contrast which can bo seen between the men tal temperature of those days and tho good will which prevails between the present Ohio executive and the leaders of his party In the senate nnd house. There had been expressions of fear be fore President McKlnley was inaug urated that he might prove a second Garfield in the laxity of his conception of political good faith; but these have since been shown to be Utterly without foundation. A more harmonious time has never been known In Washington than exists there today; and for this happy fact wo may be not a little In debted to the teachings of history In tho Conkllng-Garfleld Incident. We learn every day 01 two from our esteemed Mugwump friends that Gov ernor Dlock, of New Yoik, has com mitted political suicide; yet, strange to say, they go light on heaving stones at the corpse. A Name to Conjure With. We fancy there will be practically unanimous assent to the proposition, that Consul General Lee should be re tained at his present post as long as the Spanish flag shall wave over Moro castle. The fact that In home politico he Is a Democrat presents no reason for a change under the circumstances now existing. There phould be no par tisan politics In the discharge of the duty of protecting American interests In a foreign land; and the superb manner In which General Lee has ful filled this obligation, even In the face of lukewarm support, If not open censure, from the administration which first honored him with the appointment, merits the generous recognition already given to It by McKlnley administra tion, and more beside. There would, as tho Washington Star very pertinently remarks, "bo a certain deserved rebuke to the recent adminis tration, in the honoring thus of an cru cial it desired to dishonor. Had Mr. Olney been permitted to have his way, General Lee would have lost his official head early last winter. Mr. Olney had only anger and contempt for reports which have since established tho repu tation of General Lee as a. careful ob server of Important events, and a man worthy of one of tho most Illustrious names In tho history of the United States." Still nnother consideration argues for General Lee's retention. Tho placing of such conspicuous confidence In him by a Republican president who fought against Lee during the civil war would go further than any amount of Mem orial day oratory to hasten the recon ciliation of the sections and win the old Confederate families of Virginia and other southern states away from their not yet wholly subdued bit terness over Robert E. Lee's de feat. It would offer a token of reunion to the more rigid southern element which could not well be over looked nnd which could not by any conceivable means slve offence to It. In many sections of the south Lee Is still a. name" to conjure with; and while wo would not oak for 'a misuse of It, yet the existing opportunity to turn It to excellent account for tho peace and welfare of the republic Is too admirable to be lost. Fortunately, It looks as if President McKlnley has had all of these consid erations In mind. Colonel Watteron strenuously main tains, to the extent of columns in double leads, that he Is correct In as suming the existence of a purpose on Mr Cleveland's part to run for the presidency In 1000. Well; to keep peace In tho family, let us concede so much. Then the question arises, what of It? Is Colonel Watterson afraid that Mr. Cleveland will succeed7 Has he so low an estimate of the average mem ory and intelligence of the American people? Mr. Bryan scouts tho very idea of a union of the regular Democracy with" thti Waldorf bolters except upon tho tetms that the lutter shall surrender absolutely and unconditionally to the tunu of 10 to 1. It looks vpry much aa If tho Grovennanlacs would have to llock by themselves. When Commissioner of Patents But terwoith remarked Ihu other day that tho civil servicu system had rulsed pol itical contests above tho piano of mere struggles for spoils wo suppose he know what he was talking (about. Evidently his eyesight Is bettorlthan the average. "Each tariff bill, uAtll set In motion, Is an Injunction on jmslness activity," rays Senator ForakJr. All the mom ivason, thon, why the pending ono should be speeded lntoeffect. It is asserted thut Jhero Is a fair prospect of the adoptlJn by tho pres ent legislature of theHiinilltuti good road.s bill, together wltp u- state appro priation of $1,000,000 for good roads. The news, we fear, Is too good to bo ttue. Florida new senator, Mr. Multory, Is a free sllverlte, a free trader, nn nntl-coproratlon shouter nnd nn all round fire-eater, but we understand that he Is still something of an im provement on his predecessor. From Long Branch comes the first balloon accident story of the season, but It will linve no deterrent effect upon thp growing army of blue-ribbon Idiots who pursue tho parachute route to extinction. Gossip at the Capital Special Correspondence of Tho Tribune, Washington, May 24. Apparently tho tariff discussion In the senate Is really here, nnd has come to stay for no one can guess how long. Re publicans may agrco to refrain from mak ing speeches; Democrats of all shades nnd colors, Populists and Silver Republicans, may promlso they will not obstruct by unnecessary talking; but every ono hero knows how vain tho hope. A senator can no moro keep from talking than a duck can keep from swimming when thero Is water In tho poultry yard. Ho knows that tho world Is watting to hear from hlm, and ho would not disappoint the dear old world even to save him some months of weary sizzling In the summer sun. Tho Republicans nre really sincere In their present determination to let tho others do nil tho talking, but when they nic goaded by those others beyond endurnnce, ns thoy will be In this tariff debato moro than In ony former one, how shall they be silent In Justice to themselves nnd to tho country? Never before was a tariff bill taken up under circumstances at nil similar. Ono Is In no way. reminded of tho memorable contests when tho Democrats were di vided, nnd In the house Sam Randall and his followers stood an Impregnable forti fication against the nssaults of tho free trnders. It Is Just possible the ranks of tho Democrats may bo broken. There were promises of support for any kind of strong tariff bill that would glvo cer tain southern Interests all they demand ed. But the Republican committee of tho senate, whllo vastly Improving the house measure In many respects as a. revenue producing machine, has thrown so much odium over It that the Democrats of the senate, with some nsslstanro from those who ore neither Democrats nor Republi cans, will practically enact a new bill, nnd therefore when tho final vote ccmes each side will claim the measure ns Its own, and tho division, If any, will not bo parti san. It Is predicted by many that after tho senate has disposed of the bill an excited and prolonged struggle will occur be tween tho house and senate. These pre dictions havo been made ever since the character of the work of the senate com mittee became known, but they are made with new confidence nnd forco now that tho bill Is up for discussion. It Is certain that the most Interesting part of the tar iff performance will come when the sen ate bill goes back to the house and Ding ley and his friends can compare the two creations. This storm between the house and the sennte has been gathering for so long, and has had so many preliminary and warning rumblings, that It will not be surprising If It burst In nil Its fury somo few months hence. Th'e waiting of tho house In. Idle ness and keen watchfulness of the per formances of tho Benato will not lessen tho force of the gale. The ono thing that will tend to make the house look with some leniency on the prospective bill Is the fact that It cannot by any possibility bo tho bill that was framed by the Re publican committee. It Is a pity that It cannot be a square and open contest be tween tho little circle which made the house bill and that other smaller circle of the senate which made a bill In rooms at the Arlington hotel, from which nil visitors were excluded with the exception of some of the principals or agents of the trusts. Then wo Bhould have a pretty contest Indeed, for It would hinge largely on (he right of the senate to deliberately frame a revenue bill of Its own, regardless of the provisions of tho house bill, under the gulso of "amendments." Tho fiction of the constitution that tho house must originate revenue measures was never so apparent as It has been mado by the per formances of tho senato In connection with this bill. Never before was a. great revenue measuro of the house, which was to bring money to tho treasury and famo to Its creators, so contemptuously thrown aside by the senate. There was no evi dence before tho senate to guide the de liberations of tho sub-commlttte. They asked no evidence. Never for a moment was even a single member of the commit tee on ways and means asked to enter the luxurious rooms at the hotel, where the two or three senators Juggled with fig ures and received agents of tho trusts, for tho purpose of explaining why this or that rate was adopted. In every way the f ramers of tho house bin were treated with tho most conspicuous contempt, Thls'led at once to somewhat suppressed but mighty forclblo denunciations from the members of ways and means. Ding ley, usually the most self-possessed and cautious of men, broko out into Inter views carefully critical of the action of tho senato sub-committee, and Into much bolder objurgations In the form of edi torial articles In his paper, the Lewlston Journal. A senator who Is fond of quot ing Republican against Republican, tells me that ho has preserved every utteranco of Dlngley In his paper In relation to the tariff bill after It became known that tho form In which It had been sent to tho senato had been transformed, and that not a semblanco of Dlngley, and his commit tee had been left In It. That senator, wishing that nothing shall be lost that Is Important bearing on tho disagreements of tho Republicans, and the delightful rec ognition of the sugar trust, promises that ho will read the DIngley "editorials" In the senato at the proper moment. This' will not tend to make things pleasantcr between tho members of the two bodies. I do not credit most hi the stories In re gard to the operation of senators through brokers. That Is not the way senators plunge who nro In tho confidence of the trusts. They merely have a standing or der with somo big man of the tfust, who Informs him at tho proper moment that he has sold or bought a certain number of shares for him. Tho action of the market In such circumstances Is peculiarly enough always favorable to the senator, and tho proceeds nro Judiciously placed to tho credit of the senator. That Is better than trusting a broker. WORK OF THE SUPERIOR COURT. From tho Philadelphia Press, Whatever prejudice thero was against tho creation of tho Superior court must rapidly disappear, if it has not already vanished. In view of tho demonstration of usefulness which that tribunal has al ready been abia to make. It has not quite completed Its second year, but It has dono even moro than was expected of it within so brief a time. In tho way of relieving the Supremo court from that pressure under which It wa3 being swamped, Somo figures may be given to show re sults moro decisively. In 1873 the year before tho prevent constitution of tho commonwealth went Into effect, the num ber of uppcals entered In tho Supreme court was 678. This was. more than two for every working day of the year. But the number Increased from year to year, until for tho year ended Dec. 81, 1831, the number of appeals entered in the Supreme court was 1,IW. The Superior court was created In 1893, but It wis not organized until one-half the year had expired, so that tho cases appealed to It tho first six months of Its exlstenco hardly afford a fair test. For tho full year of 1890, how over, tho number of appeals entered In tho Superior court was 480; at tho samo time tho number entered In the Supremo court was 6,3. These mnko a total of 113ft, all of which would bavo gone to tho Supremo court had tho Intermediate tribunal not been established. It will bo seen, therefore, that the busi ness taken by tho Superior court reduces that belonging to the Supremo court to a llttlo less than tho amount that tribunal had twenty-four years ago. At tho tlnio tho Superior court was established vari ous calculations were mado to show what proportion of tho business of tho Supremo court It would bo likely to take. Somo of these calculations were higher than the realization and some were much low er. There Is every probability that In courso of tlrrle the number will pretty well reach tho highest estimate, anil It was never thcught to be necessary that It should exceed moro than one-half. What has already been dono has proven a giatl fylng relief to litigants, and must serve to moke some of the appeals much less costly than wn3 tho enso when they hung on for years. That was an Injustice and an Imposition, ns well ns an expense. In tho llttlo less than two years It has been In exlstenco tho Superior court hus heard argument In 7M cases, and t02 of these were within tho term year Just end ing, The Judge" on tiint bench havo mado It understood that they Intend to keep well up with their work, and they aro ex ceedingly well qualified to do It. With Its two years' experience the state has every reason to be entirely satisfied with tho establishment of this court and with Its force and character. "THE GOOD OLD TIMES." From tho Washington Post. For tho benefit of those boys-and their number Is great who havo contracted tho habit of believing that thero Is not so good a chanco for a youngster now as there was fifty or a hundred years ago, a Maine newspaper brings to light a document that wns written and signed eighty-four years ago. It Is tho Indenture of Stephen Staples, of Sedgowlck, binding him as an apprentice to John Peters, of Blue Hill, In 1813. At that time the ma chine had scarcely begun to supplant the hand of man. Tho Itinerating tnllor and shoemaker went thi-lr rounJs from house to house. Tho spinning wheel nnd loom converted the farmer's woel cud flax Into cloth that was made up In his house Into clothing for the family. The blacksmith and thu carpenter wcro great factors In rural as well as urban lfe. Thero was no lack of trades for boys to learn and live by, but wages were jmnll. The high est skill commanded a dollar n day, and good farm hands wcro hired tor $10 a month nnd bosrd. Tho occupation chosen for Stephen Sta ples wes that of tho farmer, and he was, therefore, InJenturcd to John Peters, at tho ago of 13, "to learn tho art and mystery of farming." If any reader should bo lnclned to crltlciso this "art and mystery" clause, he will do well to mnke a llttlo Inquiry before he fixe3 his sneer. There was then, and there Is now, a deal of "art" In raising crops In New England, except In a few favored locall ties. Every plowing brought up stones enough to wall tho field, and the thin, weak soil, late springs, and eariy""irosts mado tho maintenance of llfo on the average New England farm a perpetual mystery. The term of Staples' appren tlceshlp was six years from 15 to 21 at the end of which tluro he was to receive "one hundred dollars In cash, two suits of wearing apparel one sultablo for tho Lord's day, and one sultablo for working days," nnd tho apprentice was bound to "well and faithfully servo and at all times readily obey; at cards, dice, or any other unlawful gamo he shall not play, nor mat rimony contract, during tho said term; taverns, all houses or places of gaming ho shall not frequent, but In nil things and at all times he shall carry nnd behave himself as a good and faithful appren tice." Nowadays a boy of 15, If willing to woik falthfuly, can get more money and goods In one year than Staples received for six years. Some of tho restrains Im posed by "these Indentures" were un doubtedly wholesome, but they would not please the youth of these times. In fact, there was very little In the rural lite of the first half of ttils century that would not be repulsive to tho young and old of this decade. It was drudgery from early morning till bedtime for both sexes, and facilities for Intellectual advance ment were scarce. The rich farmers of that time had less of literature and art In their huuses than aro found today In the dwelling of the average farm laborer. Machinery has relieved tho field and tho household workers of most of their old time toll. If the discontented rurallsts of tho present day were compelled, for a single week, to accept the conditions un der which their great-grandparents lived and prospered, they would be cured of their longing -for "the good old times.' ' THE DIFFERENCE. "Wouter Van Twlller" la tho Wllkes- Barro Record. I observe by tho Seranton papers that that city has secured the silk ribbon mill which will employ 300 hands as soon as erected, and when the entire plant Is re moved thero the number will be Increased to 2,000. Levy Brothers, of New York who own this big Industry, wanted to lo cate In Wllkes-Barro and spent several days here trying to secure a site. But they didn't get very much encouragement, so they went to Seranton. Tho board of trade up there met them with open arms, showed them tho city, dilated upon Its advantages and told the visitors that they would bo most happy to havo the industry locate there. Then Congressman William Connell made them a free gift of two acres of land as a site for tho new mill, and tho thing was done. Thus does Seranton se cure a valuable addition to Its varied In dustries, one that Wllkes-Barro could have had, If she hadn't dawdled, and hesi tated and hemmed and hawed nnd ralsod objections and tlghtenej her purse strings. Tim i'itoMiTr.n'.s call. Upon life's mighty stage today I have my little part to play; I havo to speak the single lino Which Is tho task tho gods assign To me who craves a higher thing: To play tho hero or the king. At early morning, when I wake, I hear tho prompter's call, and take My burdoti up of llfo again, To smile at grief or gladness feign, An audience of angels, pale And dimly seen, forbids mo fall! And when above tho sleeping town Night lets her star-sewn curtain down I sit upon the stage alone And wish the lights and players ont For well I know the tragedy Must bo played out by them and me. I wish that I had played my part; That I could still my throbbing heart That tireless engine of the breast That madly beats me back from rest. A worn-out actor yet today I have my puny part, to play!
