MAY 28, 1SD7. The Tribune Is pained to witness the warmth of temper which Is beginning to characterize the relations of Its es teemed afternoon contemporaries; and In tho Interest of peace and concord It feels constrained to suggest a ref erence of their circulation controveisy to arbitration. The Tax Receivership Bill. The reconsideration of the Torrey tax receivership bill by the house at Hnr rlsburg yesterday, and Its postpone ment for the present, gives the sup porters of thl3 excellent measure an other chance to bring pressure to bear upon tho legislature In Its behalf. The dllllculty Is that while this bill pro poses a Substantial benefit to every tax payer In a third-class city Inasmuch as It would enable hlm to pay all his taxes to one receiver at one time, In stead of to two or three receivers, In . diffqrorit places and at different times, thus causing confusion and annoyance ns well as Increased cost of tax col lection, It is a measure in whose favor the people have taken no concerted ac tion. Its merit Is go manifest that no body In particular seems to have made It his business to boom It. On the other hand, there Is an active and effective opposition composed of office-holders whoso positions, are threatened, and this, working quietly, has been enabled to do much mischief. The situation may be explained still more plainly by saying that while there Is nothing In the bill's enactment eavo for the people In gross, there 1r a good deal In Its defeat for the few whose soft snaps It threatens. That being the case, tho bill Is reasonably sure to expire unless tho people bestir themselves. They have it in their power to secure the victory if they will put forth somo effort. If they neg lect to do this, it will be their own fault and they will have only their own inertia to blame. If tho present legislature undertakes to lock horns with Governor Hastings on an Ifesuc of extravagance versus economy, It will speedily discover that public opinion Is on the side of the govei nor. Defeated, but Not Dismayed. The National Arbitration committee appointed by the National Peace con ference, which met In Washington In April of last year, has Issued an ad dress to tho people urging thote who are friendly to the principle of arbitra tion to continue their efforts for the establishment of "a proper and a per manent system of arbitration between this, country and Gieat Britain." Such a result, it submits, would bo "the most Influential step toward the adop tion of arbitration by all civilized na tions." In this advice tho committee will have general sympathy and co-operation. The defeat of the Olney-Paunce-fote compnet Involved only a tempor ary ret-back for the cause of arbitra tion In general. It Is our belief that the senate had substantial reason for objecting to that treaty In Its origin al form: but that it will at a future time approve an Instrument properly drawn for the protection of American interests Is as certain as anything In the future can be. Those who oppose the whole theory of arbitration consti tute as small a minority in these days ot diffused Intelligence as do those on the other hand who think so much of the broad principle of arbitration that they are heedless of the details of Its application. The National Arbitration committeo has shown the spirit In defeat which wins admiration and support. It does no give way to choler nor pause to weep over the Irrevocable: It takes off lta coat (In a pacllio sense) and goes to work. The duty before It Is simply to keiep tho best Influences of our na tional life in organization and co-operation. This In Itself will force a, re opening of the recently Interrupted ne gotiations, aod with the experience of the earlier failure as a culde, Amer ican statesmanship will not bo likely to fall a second time into tho pit. That Is an Interesting report which says that General Muxlmo Gomez, com-' mander-ln-chlef of the Cuban army, Is about to resign his command In favor of Callxto Garcia, accept the appoint ment of secretary of war and In that capacity pay a personal visit at Wash ington to President McKlnley nnd Sec retary Sherman, for the purpose of explaining to them tho real facts con cerning the strength of the Insurgents, their progress In establishing a civil government and the outlook for Cuba ns, It appears to him. General Gomez would be warmly welcomed. The Escape of Havcmeycr. Tho escape of the president of the sugar trust from conviction In the senate contempt proceedings, while, the go-between, Chapman, is Imprisoned, constitutes a situation which will re quire a great deal of explaining. It appears that Mr. Havemeyer got off on account of technical flaws In tho indictment. The question which this circumstance suggests it whether those flaws wero the work of Ignorance or design. We have seen how the gigantic in stitution over which Mr, Havemeyer presides could capture a national ad ministration, as in tho case of Mr. Cleveland's treatment of Hawaii and Cuba; and how It could twist to its purposes influential senators of the United Btates. ns in tho caso of cer tain members of the present finance 'committee of that honorable body, Tho et of capturing a sufficient foot-hold In a district court to spnro the presi dent of the trust the Ignominy of In carceration In Jail alone with common felons would be relatively ensy. It Ib not dinicult to predict one re sult of this kind of thins. It will make votes for Bryanlsm much more rap Idly than the conscientious endeavor of the McKlnley administration to do Its duty toward the people In mass can unmake them. The Wllkes-Barro contingent will doubtless do to keep Qrldln's youns men In practice until a real ball club comes along. Reckoning Without Their Hosts. The fact that tho largo syndicate of American and English capitalists financially Interested In Cuba which recently approached the Spanish, min ister nt Washington with a proposition for tho purchase of Cuba's Independ ence has not been disheartened by his curt rejection of their offer Is notewor thy. Their representatives, Messrs. McCook and Smith, have again assured Pifsldent McKlnley of their ability to guarantee the bonds of the Cuban re public to an amount sufficient to reim burse Spain for the recognition of Cu Ikuj Independence, provided the United States, pending the stabilization of the new Cuban government, will take charge of the Island's finances: and they claim to have faith that notwith standing Spain's grandiloquent talk to the contrary, the government nt Mad rid will yet be glad to accept a fair cash offer. T'rom the standpoint of American and English capitalists there Is nothing out of tho way in such a proposition. Those men own property in Cuba which Is be ing depreciated by war. They want peace. They are willing to pay for It. To guarantee the bonds of a govern ment owning so fcrtllo an island as Cuba, under the sanction of a power so Influential as tho United States, In volves only a slight risk, compared with tho risk to which their property Is subjected by tho present conflict. It might cost them the trouble of ad vancing some money for Interest pay ments on the bonds, with the certainty of getting It back again In good meas ure; but that is all. The bonds them selves would lie a mortgage on the inland upon which they Could any time realize by means of a fotcible relzure of the Cuban custom houses, after the example set by Great Britain at Cor lnto. When we ccmo to consider this prop osition from the standpoint of the lead ing citizens of Cuba, however, It pre sents a decidedly different aspect. Here aro men who for more than two years have braved death, starvation and con tinual discomfort in behalf uf their country's desire to be independent. Many of them have endured the tor tures of the inferno in tho cause of Cuba llbre. They have seen their fer tile Island turned by war Into a wil derness; they have (acrlflced their plantations, their homes, their In come on tho altar ot patriot- Ism; and now to ask them, with victory in sight, to shoulder a big war debt on top of all tho other bureK ns which the conflict has Imposed upon them, merely In order that the departure of the Spaniard may bo has tened, Is to ask what any American, slmlliaily placed, would unhesitating ly pronounce unreasonable. It ik one thing for syndicates remote from the scene of hostilities to draw up theoretical plans for the achievement of peace In Cuba; but It Is qulto an other thing to put those plans Into op eration. The freedom of Cuba must be won by the swoid. That Is freedom's only sure price. Another expedition Is about to start for the north pole, which means" a wan ton Increase In the number of widows and orphans. Unjust Criticism. The habit among American newspa pers of discrediting the United States senate has occasional excuse, but In the main It Is without justification and tends simply to create, vicious pre judices amontr the people. We expeot the Bupercllloua Mugwump press to scold whenever the senate does any thing robust and candid; but wo are surprised to observe ordinarily judi cious papera like the Chicago Times- Herald engaged momentarily In the same shrewish practice. Just now the latter Journal Is In 111 humor because the senate passed the Morgan resolution. It calls Senator Morgan names, It howls Jingoism anl demagoglsm, and It tries to leave the Impression that tho senate In this mat ter Hew directly counter to public opin ion. As a matter of fact, It must know better. If It has any knowledge what ever of the state of popular feeling with reference to Cuba, It is well aware that tho extreme anxiety of the execu tive department, heretofore and now, to avoid ruffling Spain's feathers Is viewed by the great body ot Americans as an exhibition of conservatism which, Instead of helping along a solution of the problem at Issue, simply gives Spain a wrong conception! of us, makes her feel that we aro cowardly and ab ject, and encourages her In tho very directions In which she needs to be suppressed. The Venezuelan message of President Cleveland Bhowed In the caso of a much stronger power than Spain the whole somo effect of plain speaking. The Guiana boundary dlsputo had been un der consideration by Great Britain and the United States through the soft processes of conciliatory negotiation for years without visible result; but one vigorous blast from President Cleveland clarified the entire situation and, though using the threat of war, to the ludicrous alarm of the over edu cated effeminates of the period, did more In one day to assuro peace than had been achieved by the arbitration socie ties clnce the dispute began. Tho lesson of this incident applies to Cuba. It Is not jingoism nor flre-eat-lng nor appealing to the galleries to in sist upon a vigorous and uncompromis ing assertion of American prestige and influence In an international matter in which we are Intimately concerned, but Instead, the wisest and most truly peace-making statesmanship. It Is be cause of our continual vacillation and supercaut,lousness in matters of this kind that ths Spanish people and a good many other people In different parts of the globe regard us with con tempt and feel free to offer indignities to Americans tho like of which they could not bo Induced to offer to sub jects of a power such as Great Britain. By our Irresolution, procrastination nnd unmanly solicitude for the Interests of the stock exchange we have, during a period of years, talrly earned their contempt; and the only way to dispel It Is to awaken from our stupor and go at them when they give us cause as they would go at us were the tables re versed. The senate may have exhibited a lack of consideration for the president; but In any event It Is a co-ordtnato branch of tho government, and as such Is fair ly entitled to Its opinion. Its action Is a notification to Spain that Its doom In Cuba Is approaching; and If the presi dent Is heedful of public opinion, as we have every reason, to believe that he Is, he will recognize In the emphasis ot the senate's course an Index to what will bo expected of him when the time shall arrive for him to discard the passive for the active mood. The proposition to place another mill of tnxntlon on personal property Is probably tho easiest way out of the dllemena Into which extravagant and reckless legislation covering a period of business depression has plunged the commonwealth; but the fact remains th. what the legislature should do, Instead of Increasing taxation, Is to cut down Its expenses. William E. Curtis, the man, whom Secretary Blaine appointed chief of tho bureau of South American republics, Is a busy apologist for Spain, and sur passes even Senator Hale In the dis semination of anti-Cuban literature. What would Blaine think If he were alive? Senator Morgan frankly saysi he wants a war with Spain because he be lieves It Is inevitable anyhow and that the sooner It Is endured and concluded, the, better for nil concerned. A good many persons think this who lack tho candor publicly to say so. Tho claim Is now made that Gover nor Black's starchless civil service sys tem Is unconstitutional. Then why are Its opponents so all-fired mad? If Spain could only fight as bravely ns she can talk, It would soon be all up with Cuba. Gossip at the Capital Special Correspondence of The Tribune. Washington, May 27. There havo been somo Interesting devel opments In Washington during tho present week and tomo especially significant In their character. The Republican senators havo shown their determination to push the tariff bill with nil possible speed, while the Democratic senators havo shown themselves entirely at sea In the matter of policy upon this Important question. Both parties havo held caucuses to deter mine their action In regard to the tailff bill, and tho contrast between tho devel opments of tho two confeiences wero strongly marked. Tho Democrats found themselves entirely at sea, unable to agree upon any course with rcferetico to the Important features of the bill, while tho Republicans emerged from their cau cus a thoroughly united body determined to present a solid front to the enemy whom they know to bo In control of the senate. That the senate of the United States is not a Republican body everybody knows. That tho ability of the Republicans to pasj a tariff bill depends upon the stiength of the protective sentiment uraong tho Dem ocrats and Populists Is conceded. The Re publicans aro In tho minority In tho sen ate. To pass tho tariff bill they must either havo tho nctlvo open support of ono or more Democrats, or ono or more mem bers of tho Democratic and Populist par ties must omit to vote ngalnst It. There Is reason to believe that the bill will rc celvo the support of at least one Demociat and probably two Populists, If Senator Kylo Is to be classed as a Populist. Ho Is put down In the Congressional Directory as an Independent. Senator Jones, of Ne vada, who has been classed as a Populist for the past two or three years, will, It is understood, support the bill, and It Is prob able that Senator Kyle will do so or, at least, not vote against It. Senator McEn ery, of Louisiana, Democrat, has Indicat ed cVarly his Intention to support a pro tective tariff. It Is under these circum stances that the Republican minority in the senate enter upon tho desperate strug gle to pass their bill. They have, as aboo Indicated, the advantage of presenting a. solid front In support ot the bill, while the other parties are not able to solidify them selves upon any features of the measure. Their caucus showed that, upon the nu merous questions ut Issue, not only were they not united, but that they could not unite. Tho Republicans, on the other hand, In their caucus, determined to put aside personal preferences In regard to th various Items of tho bill, each man submitting his proposed amendments to tho finance committee, and afterwards, If necessary, to the caucus committees upon this subject. They further agreed, much as they might deslro to enter upon a general dis cussion ot the tariff, to forego that un dertaking for tho sake of economy of time, and to press at every turn for active energetic work upon tho schedules of the bill with tho purpose of getting final ac tion upon it at the earliest possible mo ment. Not a speech, asldo from the ex planation which Senator Aldrlch offered In tho opening day of the debate, Is to bo made by the Republicans, other than the brief responses mado necessary In reply to tho attacks which It Is expected that tho Democrats will mako upon tho sched ules of tho bill us tho discussion pro gresses. Thus the public may understand that if there Is delay In the passage of the bill through tho senate, the responsibil ity will rest with tho Democratic party. If the Republicans could control the ac tion of the senate, the bill would be passed through that body within a fortnight and be upon the statute books certainly by tho end of the fiscal year. If they cannot, the fault will be with the Democrats. If tho Republicans aro able to carry out their programme, the first four months of President Mchlnley's administration will witness a heretofore unheard of occur rence In tho hlsrtory of tho country tho meeting of a congress within fifteen dags of the Inauguration of a new president, the framing of a great tariff bill and pass age through the house. Its consideration by tho senate and conference committee and enactment Into a law all within four months. If this falls to happen, the public will understand that the failure Is because of delay offered by Democrats, who rec ognize the fact that every day's delay Is a postponement of business activity and prosperity, and that by this process only are they able to create the dissatisfaction which they hope may result to their ad antage In the coming elections. Much Interest has been felt In the course ot the house ot representatives upon tho senato resolution recognizing tho Cubans as belligerents. Whatever delay occurs In this matter will be because the adminis tration Is not yet ready to act In the mat ter. It Is absolutely necessary that a new administration, which found on com ing Into power its only sources of Informa tion those created by a party adverse to Its Interests and methods, should have time not only to study the situation, but to study It through men selected by It self. Any step looking to the recognition of the Cubans either an belligerents or ns an Independent nation must be a grave one and Is liable to bring about serious complications with one or more European nations. It In easy for men who have not this responsibility upon their shoulders to Insist upon Immediate action and to talk glibly about tho ability of the United States to whip any nation, but tho man who recognizes that his action, un 1hs carefully considered, Is liable- to plunge nations Into war, sacrifice not alone millions of money but perhaps thousands of lives, must feel that the responsibility Is a very grave one. Human life, whether In Cuba or In tho United Statos, or upon tho high seas, Is sacred, and a president who could or would tako action liable to create such complications as to endanger tho lives of his own people or the people of other nations, without tho most careful consideration, would be unworthy of tho confidence of his country. Those who un derstand the responsibility which rest upon President McKlnley In determining what tho attitude of this government shall bo recognize frilly tho wisdom of his courso In desiring ample time for a study of this question In the light of such Infor mation on ho can obtain through his own representatives selected for that purpose. It Is not through any desire to temporize or to delay action further than tho tlmo necessary for this examination that leads him to tho careful course which he Is pur suing, or that leida tho house of r-prtentatlves to decline to forco him to act before, he has obtained this Information upon a resolu tion whose adoption might be fraught with such serious consequences, and might sacrifice tho lives of many citizens of hl3 own as well as other countrlos. The peo ple of the United States need not suppose that President McKlnley Is unnecessary delaying action, or Intends to unnecessar ily delay action. He does not. He fully realizes the gravity of tho situation, tho Importance of action, but ho also recog nizes tho equnlly Important step of mak ing that action Just to his own country, to the Cubans, and to humanity ut largo. NO TKANSACTION. Prom the New York Sun. Wo don't want to buy Cuba. We have mado no offer for It. We havo not asked tho prlco of It. Thcro was a time, somo forty years ago, when Spain might have sold Cuba to us, and got the cash for It; but the situation has changed since then. Tho revolutionary Cubans are not unxlou9 that Spain should sell their country to them. They have never made nny propo sition to Spain for Its purchase. They bellevo they can gain possession of It without paying a party who has no legi timate claim upon It. They say that the Americans did not pay England for their country, and that such of the colonies of Spain as parted from her In other times got off without paying her anything. It is by driving oft the robbers that the Cu bans expect to get what belongs to thorn. There are people who think that If Spain were to become convinced that It would bo best to sell Cuba to the Cubans, tills country would help both parties In the case by guaranteeing the payment of the purchase money to Spain, perhaps to tho amount of $200,000,000. These people ale mistaken. We havo not the leleure to en gage In that kind of business. Thus tho whole thing Is very plain. Spain says she will never sell Cuba. The Cubans saj they do not desire to buy it. Tho Ameri cans also refuse to buy, refuse even to give a guarantee of payment to Spain In case she should change her mind nnd s-ek to sell Cuba to Its rightful owncis. There is no transaction. Meanwhile, Cuba Is marching on. IMPORTANT, ir TRUE. From tho Philadelphia Ledger. If the report Is truo that the Lyktns Valley bed ot coal has been found of workable thickness at Tamaqua, and If it shall prove 'to be a continuous bed Instead of a mero local depcslt, tho discovery Is of great Importance to the coal trade. The Lykens Valley bed or d. for there are two of them were auout the first of the anthracite series deposit ed. They undeillo all the beds' from which tho hard coal of commerce comes and their product Is a scml-anthra-cite, burning almost ns readily as bitumi nous, but with tho clear glow nnd smoke les flame of anthracite. It Is much prized for domestic ufc and commands a higher price than any other coal except a few fancy brands. Although they are sup posed to undtrllo the mammoth bed, which Is continuous throughout the an thraclto region, they havo never b-en found in workablo condition anywhere wt cept In thi western end of tho Schuylkill coalfield; hence their reported discovery as far east as Tamaqua opens a possibili ty of a greatly enlarged supply of a very profitable pioduct and a large addition to tho business of the Schuylkill miners and coal dealers. EUROPE AND CURA. Interview with Henri Rochefort. Europe mny not bo afraid of Greece, but she is mortally afraid of America. Certainly no European power will send warships Into Cuban waters to help Spain or In caso war Is declared be tween tho United States and Spain they will not send vessels to be sunk by tor pedoes at tho mouth of New York har bor.
