JUNE 4, 1897. e President McKInlcy as a spooch inaUer does not talk for the mero plraR ure of exercising hlB tongue, nor docs lie consider It part of his duty to su percede the cyclopedias. 13ut that which ho docs say on public occasions goes straight as an arrow to the core of the subject and conveys common sense In words Instantly intelligible. The Wlntcrstcen Trial. By far the worst point scored by the prosecution against Lawyer 'Wlnter steen in the Bloomsburg dynamite trial is the fact of his natural vlndlctlveness. The asertlon by him that he "would serve twenty years in prison it he could thereby get even with "Waller" may have been simply a statement made In anger, but on tori of the curious testi mony brought out by the prosecution It gives the one real color of plausibil ity to Knorr's dramatic accusations. Were it not for that fact, as shown "by unimpeachable witnesses, the whole case against 'Wintersteen would fall to the ground. Certainly he would never be convicted on the strength solely of testimony by Knorr, the Gast woman and the remainder of the ill smell Ing collection of human sewage whom the prosecution Imported from Heading. To be sure, Wlntersteen's social mor als suffer from the revelations made during this trial, but it is one thing for a man occupying his position In the community to consort, upon occasions, with creatures of the Knorr-Gast-Bru-baker typo and quite another to con spire In a diabolical manner to commit murder. If it has been Knorr's pur pose to destroy Wintersteen In the eyes of the community, he has probably suc ceeded; but whatever the Jury may de cide, we imagine that most persons who have followed this extraordinary trial in the printed reports will con cur in our opinion that on the main point In the indictment Wintersteen is entitled to the verdict, "not proven." Yet what an emphasis this whole case gives to the trite admonitions of the copy books to shun evil associa tions. Wintersteen, whether convicted or not, will forever afterward be damned by the companionship lie has kept. m Is the sultan preparing to slink, back Into his cage? The Surest Uuarnntec. fiome of the more ardent advocates of international arbitration may feel Inclined to tako exceptions to the tone of the address of Assistant Secretary nt the Navy Roosevelt In opening th-'s Naval War college at Newport on Wednesday. That address comprised several thousand spirited words, but Its purport Is well conveyed In the ap pended excerpt: "In this country there Is not the slightest danger of an over development of warlike spirit, and there never has been any such dan ger. In all our history there has nev er been a time when preparedness for war was any menace, to peace. On the contrary, again and again we have owed peace to the fact that we were prepared for war; and In the only contest which we have had with a European powr since the Revolu tion, the war of 1S12, the struggle, and all Its attendant disasters, were due eorely to the fact that we were not prepared to face, and were, not ready instantly to resent, an attack upon our honor and Interest; while the glor ious triumphs at eea which redeemed that war were due to the few prepara tions which we had actually made. Wo are a great peaceful nation; a nation of merchants and manufactur ers, of farmers and mechanics; a na tion of worklngmen, who labor Inces santly with head or hand. It is idle to talk of such a nation ever being lod into a course of wanton aggression or conflict with military powers by the possession of a sufllclent navy. "The danger Is of precisely the oppo site character. If we orget that In the last resort w can only secure pence by being ready and willing to fight for It. we may somo day have bitter cause to realize that a rich na tion which Is slothful, timid, or un wieldy Is an easy prey for any people which still retains thoso most valuable. of all qualities, the soldierly virtues. We but keep to the traditions of Wash ington, to the traditions of all tho great Americans who struggled for the real greatness of America, when we strive to build up those fighting qual ities for the lack of which In a na tion, as In an individual, no refinement, no culture, po wealth, no material prosperity, can atone. Arbitration Is an excellent thing, but ultimately thoso who wish to see this country at peact with -foreign nations will be wise If they place reliance upon a first-class fleet of flrst-clasa' battle chips rather than on any arbitration treaty which J ho wit of man can deviso. Nolson eald that the British fleet wna the best negotiator Jn Europo, and there was much truth in tho saying. Moreover, while wo are slncoro and earnest in our advocacy of peace, wo must not forget that an Ignoble peace is worse than any war. We should engrave In our legislative halls thosa splendid lines of Lowell; " "Come, I'eacol not like a mourner bowed For honor lost and dear ones waited, 1 But proud, to meet a people proud, With eyes that tell of triumph tut edl'" Passing, events give a force to these wordu that can hardly be misunder stood. Let us suppose and the sup position, Wo aro convinced, involves no Improbability that Commissioner Cal houn has reported conditions in Cuba whroh require determined, action, by president Jtfcjanlcy In thv hlghftt n. tcrcst of humanity. Naturally tho first step will be through diplomacy. A note Is addressed to Spain telling why wo cannot tolerate a prolongation of the atrocities in Cuba and offering our good oHlces to composo a pence. It Is rejected by Spain with Indignation and contempt. What would bo ou"r next step supposing that wo had no navy? Either to Invito a war which would ravage our eastern seaboard and de stroy our coastwise traffic, or else to desist from further obedience to tho commanding duty of the situation. Either alternative would arouse Intense dissatisfaction; either would surely convince opponents of naval develop ment of the fallaciousness of their po sition. But with a navy admittedly among tho best, wo could do that which duty called for us to do, assured that It through no fault of our own war should follow, it would not And us unprepared. Truly does Mr. Roosevelt say, "pre paredness for war Is the surest guaran tee of peace." It Is evident that dynamiter Clifton Knorr's createst mistake was not in choosing Sallle Gast's house for blowing-up purposes. Words of Wisdom, "Lot mo tell you, my countrymen, that resuscitation wlfl not be pro moted by recrimination. Tho distrust of tho present will not be removed by distrust of the future. A patriot makes a better citizen than a pessimist, and wo have got to bo patient, for much as we may want to movo out of tho old houso we cannot do It until tho new one Is finished. A tariff law half mado Is no practical ueo except to Indi cate that in a little while a whole tariff law will bo done, and It is making progress. It is reaching tho end and when tho end comes wo will have busi ness confidence and Industrial activity. Lot us keep stout hearts and steady heads, The country Is not going back ward but forward. American energy has not been destroyed by tho storms of the past. It will yet triumph through wlso and beneficent legislation." President McKInlcy at Philadelphia, The trouble wl,th the blmatelllsm movement In England appears to be that while It contains tho brains of the island, the other fellows have the pull. - ai 1 1 1 Buncombe, Pure and Simple. An Instructive example of the Insin cerity and clap trap which characterize too much state legislation in this coun try Is afforded by the favor shown nt Harrlsburg to the bill which seeks to prohibit every Pennsylvania corpora tion, under penalty of $1,000 to $2,000 fine, from discharging a workman for belonging to a labor organization. On its faco this bill looks like a measure In the Interest of labor, but under the sur face it is a cross deception, as the slightest analysis will show. In the first place, the right of con tract Is somethlns which the legisla ture of Pennsylvania cannot abridge or annul, try as hard as It may. The constitutions of tho state and of the United States both forbid it and the courts in innumerable Instances have killed bills which undertook to accom plish this purpose. An employer of la bor, whether a physical man or an ar tificial entity called a corporation, enn hire whom ho pleases for as long as he pleases and nt such wages as he pleases so long as the other party to the con tract consents, the legislature of 'Penn sylvania notwithstanding, An em ployer of labor in Pennsylvania can dis charge a man or an employe can quit working for an employer whenever he so wills, unless there Is a contract to the contrary; and this right the legislature cannot alter. This Is the fact and It Is also a wise and salutary fact, other wise freedom would soon disappear. But in the second place, even If such a bill could stand the test as to Its con stitutionality, Its enactment would work injury instead of good to labor. Upon this point Rufus K, Shapley, of Philadelphia, well say3: "Aside from the fact that any attempt to thus place capital practically at the mercy of la bor organizations must necessarily tend to deter capital from taking the risks of such servitude, and thus to de prive laboring men of the opportuni ties for employment which they now enjoy, such a law would practically de prive every laboring man of his natural and constitutional right to work upon such terms and for such wages as may be obtainable and satisfactory to him self, and would make it practically im possible for any man to hope to obtain employment except by Joining a labor organization, or to hold such employ ment except for such times and upon such conditions as may be satisfactory, not to himself, but to those who, from time to time, control such labor organ ization." It would, In other words, make employment dependent to a cer tain extent on the Inside politics of la bor organizations and thus offer a con tinual Incentive to restless spirits to capture control of such organizations for what they could find in it. Why, then, Is such a bill favored by any number of Intelligent law-makers? Simply because It gives them a chance to pose before tho unthinking as. great friends of the worktngman, although they know full well that tho bill, If en acted, would not be worth the white paper it is printed on, and would only represent a waste of public energy and money. Is It any wonder that in view of such Imposture as this thero is a growing popular dissatisfaction with legislatures? 1 1 1 m ii 1 There is talk of startlnir another morning newspaper in Philadelphia. Tho city is growing and improved dis tribution facilities make accessible each year a larger number of readers, At the same time it is not easy to Imaglno In what respects a new paper could so far Improve upon the ones' already es tablished as to survive their compe tition. Power and better newspapers are preferable to an increased number whenever such Increase tends to pull the standard down. That was a bright remark made fcy Mrs. Lincoln, one of thje speakers at the rally for Cuba held In Washington. Tuesday, Preceding speakers had rec ommended the placing of trust In the patriotism and good Judgment of the preiiaeht; she said: ''We don't doubt the patriotism of Mr. McKInlcy, but we don't want tho gentlemen of the house to play chess too long," Publlo opinion could not be more aptly summarized. The supposition has been that the downfall of Canovns would carry with It the recall of Weyler. It will be In teresting to see If this shall prove cor rect. Weyler out of Cuba would sim plify the problem. While our South American visitors are Inspecting thin county's industries it is hoped they will bo kept too busy to see much concerning our average city governments. m If Spain experiences any shortage on cabinet material It will bo remembered that McKlnley had some ho didn't use. It will tako a long rainy season In Cuba to wash away the blood stains wantonly made by Spain. What Mr. Calhodn Sau) in Mafanzas . B i il Washington, June 3. Writing from Matanzas, Cubn, to tho Star of this icily, under date of 'May 21, Charles SI, Pepper, tho newspaper cor respondent who accompanied Special Commissioner Calhoun to Cuba. sny3: "President McKInlcy has seen, through thu eyes of I1I9 special representative, what tho 'concentration' policy of Gen eral Weyler means. Mr. Calhoun has been among tho paclflcos or country peo ple, who aro huddled together by the thousands on tho hillsides of Matanzas. Ho has witnessed suffering such as ho never Baw before In his life, such as ho hopes never to see again, and such ns ho never will see again outside of this fcr tllo Island. It has been a revelation to him of. tho way In which Spain makes war, a revelation that could come only from personal knowledge. "Tho mists were hanging over Havana Sunday morning when Mr. Calhoun and his companions crossed the ferry and took tho train for Matanzas. No parade was mado of tho departure of the party. No ndvanco notice of their coming was served on tho authorities at Matanzas. It was simply a quiet trip for osbervatlon. Tho railroad Journey was a reminder of the war. Tho forward car was armored and filled with soldiers, Other soldiers were on tho platforms. Tho passengers were mostly officers going back to their poits. The train was preceded a few hun dred feet by a pilot engine, or 'exploro dor.' This pilot engine is sent ahead to discover dynamite. If It Is not blown up, tho regular train may safely follow. "Wo had tho first sight of an extenslvo camp of paclflcos nt Campo Florldo, which Is an hour's distance from Havana. Hun dreds of palm huts wero spread out on either side of tho railroad tracks. A barbed wlro fence, eight feet high, was stretched along tho outskirts of the settle ment. Just outside tho fence ran a deep ditch. On tho knolls and hills were tho fortlllnos, or little forts, garrisoned and with sentinels on tho lookout. Soldiers ifaitrolled everywhere. Looking down among the huts, then at tho barbed wlro fence, tho ditch, tho soldiers oocupylng the commanding positions, It was no lon ger a mystery why tho paclflcos In tho desperation of hunger did not break out Into tho open country. They would never get through that fenco and across tho ditch beyond tho rang.i of the guns. Thoso at Campo Florldo were wandering aimlessly around within their nen llku 'caged animals on exhibition. At Jura- o and other stations further glimpses wero had of tho paclflcos. Smallpox has been very bad here, and no one cared to leave the train for a closer sight. Tho people wero not tho only things to bo seen. I wrlto of them as things, because under the present military policy they aro not considered human beings. Tho other objects which excited attention along the route were tho ovldences of ruin cane fields burned over, baro walls and chim neys of 'Ingenlos' or sugar mills, heaps of ashes und blackened mortar, the ab sence of all signs of llfo except closo to tho stations and forts. Everywhere could bo seen what seemed to bo great bamboo bird cages. Theso wero the houses of tho people who tilled tho soil. These houses had not been burned. Instead they were unroofed, the weather boarding. If it might bo called that, taken off and the poles and rafters left. If peace over comes they may be thatched with palm and again bo habitable. But now they must shelter no one. It Is Impossible to over look the completeness of tho military de fenses alsng tho line of the Matanzas rail way. Every hill has Its fortlllno, with sentinel on the lookout In tho watch tower and with soldiers garrisoning it. Every station Is fortified. Even the church aro barricaded. And tho soldiers aro numberless. Admirable preparation, It all seems, to resist an Invading army, but we had not looked for It in a province which Is officially reported as pacified." Arrived at Matanzas, the Americans proceed to Cascoro hill, where the camp of tho paclflcos Is located. Mr. Pepper continues; "Hundreds of palm huts aro on Cascoro Hill. They aro built without order or icgulatfon. All are aliko inside. The gravel and dirt make tho floor. Hoards stretched along the sides serve for tables and for beds. A few have chairs, ethers pimply rough benches. The household effects aro usually a few old clothes in tho corner. Two or three tin pans aro the cooking utensils, which aro seldom nesded, because there Is nothing to' cook. Tho beddings Is an old blankot or sheet spread over the boards. Some times a rude makeshift of a litter serves for a bed. Some of tho huts have rough partitions, but many of them are single rooms, All show In their Interior fur nishings what would bo called In the states nbjoct poverty. Mr. Calhoun took ample observations on the extent of these Interior furnishings, because tho paclfl cos got sick like other poopl and need comforts. And In tho rainy season, which Is closo at hand, they must live much of the tlmo indoors Instead of In tho open air. "It Is, however, with the paclflcos, or reconcontrados, themselves that we are nt present concerned. A pauso at the doorway of one of tho huts was met with and Invitation to como In. There was not room for all tho visitors, but some crowded past the threshold, A young woman was rocking with a babo of 0 or 7 months on her lap. She was intel ligent and answered questions promptly. A boy, 2 or 3 years old, clad In nature's garb, stole up to her side. A girl of 15 or 18 drew a faded cihawl across her shouldern and, her modesty shielded, looked at tho strangers. Through the op ening of a partition we could see an aged woman ralso herself from tho Utter on which she lay and poor out curiously, A man of 35 or 40 sat on a stool and listened to what was asked. All he wanted, ho said, was a chance to work In tho fields and get something- to eat. Tho young woman told President MoKlnley's repre sentative that tho pcoplo on the hill got a living by begging and working, Tho work was making tho straw hats out of tho palm leaves, In which many of the women were seen engaged. There was little domand for theso hats and the pay was so very small, but it was better than nothing. Food was got In Matanzas by begging, und some good folks did what they could for tho paclflcos. But thero was no distribution of ration by the mil itary authorities, not even ones a. day. Now part of tho men woro allowed to go out a little wayai into the country for food, but they brought back little, because- not much was to be had, and the soldiers would not let them go far. The paclflcos shared with one another when they had focd. The family around her, the young-woman said, had had breakfast that morning. They did not hope for an other meal that d?y, but they wero not so very hungry, 'yet,' (It wanted an hour of noon.) They had lived in a good house, three mlleB from, Matanzas. The soldiers have burned it and made them como in with the reconcer.trudos. "In another hut the stay was abort, A middle-aged woman, who was sowing- tho straws of a palm hat, Invited us to enter and see for ourselves, 8h was active and Intelligent, On lomo board at ono side a sick man was lying. The bedding under him seemed to bo an old coverlet. Palm leaves or bushes Inclosed In a bag formed a pillow for his head. Ho was crouched under a sheet with his knees drawn up. His checks wero flurried with fever. Ho looked t the strangers mutely and hope lessly. The chamber of a dying pacllico has Its sacredneBS, and tho Intrusion mado without knowledge was followed by a quiet withdrawal. In tho open air tho mother told the story of that family. Her daughter and others were by her side. They made a few pen nies sometimes by newlng the hots. Then they got together a little food, sh hardly knew how. They had eaten 'last night' nt 10 o'clock and hoped for something be fore the day was over. They received no rations from tho soldiers. Tho soldiers wdro letting them alone now and that was good. Her son was flck with some Bort of fever. Her other sen had It a month ago and died. Tho family had lived in the country eight miles from Matanzas. Tho soldiers came and burned their house; then drovo them in with the other country people whose houses had rtlso been burned. Ue'foro that It was so easy to talso enough to eat, sweet potatcps, ba nanas and such things. Mr. Calhoun mado personal investiga tion of many Other cases, and tho story was uniformly tho same I m bound to say ho would not prove a good intendant at a hospital or a, thorough student of sociology. Ho nnd General Lee did not seo it all. They staid on the slope of the hilt Secretary FIshbach and some of tho rest of us, who aro harder-hearted perhaps, followed the ravine and went among the people in tho huts' there. Tho misery was a littlo deeper, If possible, and certainly more hopeless. But we wero rewarded by a gleam of sunshine. In ono hut, where there wero eight mouths to feed, tho woman had met with great good fortune. From tho heavens had fallen n piece of hard tack and some real salt pork. Sho had boiled It, and tho water fn which It wnu boiled had been so good for tho children; had tasted to them like roul soup. We heard of no other cases of good fortune. In a dozen huts I was not able to find a morsel of bread, 0 sweet potato or a scrap of food of any kind. The first question nlways asked of the paclflcos was 'Have you had anything to eat today7" Sometimes they would say, 'Unpoco,' a little, but oftener the answer wns, 'Nada, nada, nada' nothing, noth ing, nothing.' And when asked about their houses In tho country tho Invariable answer was; Los soldados la qucmarron' the soldiers burned It.' "President MoKlnley's special ropnv scntatlve could not see th'e houses burn ing. That was months ago. And ho did not put the people who talked to him un der oath, so tho absoluto verity of their tcstlmonymay be questioned by skeptics. Yet thero wero the ovldences of his own senses. He could not have gone through the settlement with his eyes blindfolded ond not havo felt tho misery around him. But ho kept his eyes open nnd saw women and children In actual starvation. One woman hobbled along painfully, leading her littlo boy, who also Walked as If In pain. When they approached it was seen that their ankles and wrists were badly swollen. Many others wero In the same state. They did not know what caused It, perhaps tho water. It Is a merciful Ig norance. A physician afterward told us that they were In the 'anaemic conditions' no food to make blood nnd the blood turn ing to water. Some of them, he added, were certain to die. "When the strangers flret appeared In the camp of tho paclflcos not a hand was stretched forth bogging alms, not an jp peal was made for charity. All the menv bers of tho party in starting out had pro vided themselves with what seemed a lib eral amount of small change, billtes or scrip, silver coin and coppers. IT was only when tho coins began to come spon taneously from our pockets that tho clam or for aid began. Tho country people thought wo wero a relief party, and they could not bo blamed if they made known their needs. Tho proceeding, at best, was wholly Irregular. The distressed Ameri can citizens to whom congress voted re lief wero not on tho hill of Cascaro. Nol ther Mr. Calhoun, the consul general. Consul Brlce, Vlco Consul Dclgado, nor the rest of us had business there. We placed ourselves In tho class of meddling Americans. In succoring the-so poor peo ple, the rebellious subjects of Spain, as Minister de Lomo calls them, wo may havo been guilty of a gravo international offense. But when our pockets wero emp tied no ono was sorry. Food is scarce and dear In Matanzas, yet there Is food to bo bought with money, and tho thought of a few starving country people having something to eat that day mU3t be our recompense. "The length of this letter forbids the ac count of what was actually done for tho Americans. That and some further par ticulars of tho paclflcos at Matanzas must be reserved for another letter, along with a word about tho valley of the Yumurl. whero nature has proven less Inhuman than man. It was while tolling up tho hill to tho church of Our Lady of Monsenat, whero the best view of the valley is had, that General Leo come near spoiling our anticipated enjoyment of tho scenery. Tho general Is always explosive. "My God," ho exclaimed, 'think of thoso children.' "We cannot forget them It we would. No one who has onco seen the chlldroaaniong tho paclflcos on Cascaro hill need bo told to think of them. Helpless, starving child hood ttamps its Impress too deeply to bo brushed away as a passing Impression." POLITICAL POINTERS. Seven states had seceded and rebellion was well under way in nearly a dozen states when Abraham Lincoln was inaug urated in JEW. Yet ho did not even call his congress to meet until July 4. People who are complaining that President Mo Klnley's administration Is slow In getting its tariff and other legislation completed would do well to compare the progress of events now with thoso of that period, when the life of tho nation was being threatened. Thero Is reason to believe that tho tariff bill will now become a law by the dato at which the congress was assembled on that occasion. Special Commlsf loner Calhoun, who was sent to Cuba by President McKlnley to obtain facts concerning condition there, Is to bo in Washington this week. Thero Is reason to believe that the administration will announce a dennito policy on the Cu ban question soon and that it will bo ono eminently satisfactory to the people of tho United States. Thero Is no disposition on tho part of tho president to neglect this question, and It Is because of this fact that Republicans In congress are unwill ing to allow the Democrats to forco the belligerency resolution upon tho presi dent and thus compel him to act before ho has formulated his policy. There la a right way and a wrong way of doing things, ond It Is because tho right way Is better than the wrong way that the Republicans, havo been pnwlll lng to pass the Cuban resolution In con gress, and force it upon the president prematurely, when It Is known that ho Is working out a policy of his own. Tho Republicans in tho senate aro push ing tho tariff bill at tho greatest possible speed. They aro occupying no time In Its consideration except to answer the criti cisms from tho Democratic side, and If it fails to pass during the month of June, the fault will rest with the Democrats.
