Better 3o Slow. The current report that tho existing dilemma ln the revenues of the state la to bo solved by a Joint process of cutting the school appropriation and diverting to the state treasury all tho revenuo derived from liquor licenses follows a rumor, prevalent on Friday, that the chief part of the threatened deficiency would be provided for by means of an Increased tax on foreign insurance premiums, and one, the day before, that a horizontal Increase In the corporation tax was to bo levied. The last report may be authentic, but It Is to be regal ded dubiously until confirmed. The chances are that such b programme would be much more easily planned than executed. A curtailment of stato aid for any public purpose can be proposed under the best of circumstances only at some peril. When the contemplated cut points In the direction of public In struction the hazard becomes Indeed grave. It would take absolute knowl edge of real emergency to elicit from the people consent to such an abridge ment. The present emergency may be real, but the time before action. Is to be taken Is somewhat brief for the ed ucation of the people on this point, es pecially with tho governor himself set ting the example of skepticism. The plea Is made by those who advo cate this programme that Pennsylvania now gives 64 per cent, of Its entire rev enue for educational purposes, whlla New York, with schools equally as good, gives only 12 per cent. It 13 also contended that under the present plan ln this state some districts levy no local school ax whatever, finding It possible to maintain their schools by means of the money received from the state. But these arguments, If arguments they be, call rather for an Intelligent and statesmanlike readjustment of the basis of the division of the school fund, than for a spasmodic, Indiscriminate Flash. Because some districts Impose on the state Is not admissible as a reason for punishing: other districts which are Innocent. We shall not go into details on this Bubject until It Is clear that the bchool appropriation Is really threatened; but ln the meantime It may be remarked that members of the legislature will do well to confer with their constitu ents before giving assent either to the cutting of the school fund or to the keeping by the state of the liquor li cense moneys. 'Whatever adverse conditions may temporarily Impede the pathway of our national -progress," says President Mo Kinley, "nothing can permanently fie feat It." In other words, we'll all' be happy yet. The Wlntersteen Verdict. The disagreement of tho Jury ln the Wlntersteen conspiracy trial Is unfor tunate ln a financial' sense, since It will Impose upon tho taxpayers of Col umbia county an enormous bill of costs apparently to little Immediate purpos'e. The total expense of tho trial h'as been estimated at 515,000, and from the stnndpolnt of the average taxable It can readily be believed that there are other ways of spending $15,000 more satisfactorily than In a- long and ex citing criminal trial which le&ves the problem at issue no nearer a solution than when it found it. However, this unavoidable expendi ture has not all gone for naught. Al though the evidence adduced during the trial may not have been sufficiently accentuated ln Its character to carry thorough convlctlon-of the defendant's guilt, yet It has conveyed, at all events, a salutary moral lesson. The ethical vajuo of th,e, publicity given to the tes timony in this case is by no means de pendent upon the hypothesis that Wln terstesn committed the crimes for which he was indicted, t Whether he actually Incited young; Knorr to at tempt the commission of murder or not is Immaterial to the broad proposi tion, which his experience exemplifies, that a man la to be known and Judged by the company he keeps. Here was Wlntersteen, a keen at torney, a holder of stock in important enterprises, a man of standing In his community, who, to gain certain busi ness ends, deliberately associated him self, by stealth, with a collection of about as dlsreputablo and unsavory a group of men and women as has ever been uncovered in a rural court. Tak ing tho moat lenient view of th'e tes timony which may be taken, wo are forced to regard Wlntersteen aa a man utterly racking in principle; a man to whom hypocrisy and deception were not repugnant but welcome devices when they appeared to servo his pur poses; .a vindictive man, and, In short, a dangerous cltlr.tn. He may not havo been so bad a man as to plot tho mur der of his enemies: our Interpretation of the testimony would Induce us to vote for nn ncqulttal bo far as the recent Indictments went; but never theless ho presents tho aspects of n dangerous citizen and In the discovery of this fact, with the lessonn which It bo vividly Impresses, the taxpayers of Columbia county receive perhaps nn equivalent for their money. For nearly a year tho Turkish govern ment hftB been pretending to be hard of hearing ln the matter of the United States' demand for Indemnity for In juries Inflicted durlnir the Armenian troubles upon tho property of Ameri can missionaries. It Is now said that tho reason Minister Angell doesn't start for Constantinople Is because the sultan, hoping to gain time, refuses to Indicate whether or not Mr. Angell will be welcome. If Abul Hamld doesn't look out, It may become neces sary to throw a fire cracker on his front porob. ' Two Governors. The recent action of Governor Tan ner of Illinois In signing a sweeping street railway bill which virtually gives the streets of Chicago In fee simple to the Yerkes Traction syndi cate for fifty years, has elicited anoth er characteristic buglo blast of alarm from Governor PIngree of Michigan. The executive of the Wolverlno state wastes no fraternal courtesy; ho pro nounces his fellow-executive's act "one of th'e most disgraceful ln tho history of our American government," and continues: Now, whom shall wo blame for such disgraceful icglslatlon? I tell you It Is as Alderman Harmon says, "We ought to piace the responsibility for the boodllng of legislatures right tvheie It belongs, on what wo call tho leading citizens." Ho calls them "professional citizens." It Is certainly a lamentable condition of things when notorious boodlers- are Udccn into what Is called tho best society and aro lionized by what are known as tho re spcetnblo element tho clement whose brains and money ought to be Ufed to ac complish hotter ends than Inducing cor rupt legislatures to sell the rights of tho pec pie. If this were a matter of abstract discussion It would bo of little conse quence, but In the city of Chicago thou sands of people are suffering for the or dinary necessities of life, while those who are supposed to protect their Interests are selling them out an heartlessly as though human liberty and life were a mere com modity. I tell you that it won't do to sit down and try to gloss over thee6 things, Campaign speeches and Fourth of July orations will never replace the millions that corrupt legislatures take from tho pockets of the peopJo and hand over to corporate highwaymen. Today we need something moro than talk. Wo need plain, vigorous action. I know that men uro called anarchists for pointing out theso conditions f but let mo say this to you; tho best patrlotB are not the men who are blind to abuses such as those practiced by tho Illinois, governor and legislature. Tho men who have the country's lntorcst t.1 heart are thoso who see theso abuses, and, seeing thertf, try to apiply tho proper remedy. I bellevo that if all the patriotic citizens would do this, such disgraceful legislation as that recently enacted in Illinois would be outside Via range of possibilities. It must be admitted that ln this dif crenco of executive opinions Governor PIngree has the popular side. Nor Is he a man whose words stand unsupported. There Is, however, another side to the equation. The boodllng of councils and legislatures by corporations has not al ways been undertaken from choice. Sometimes It has been presented to corporation managements as the only alternative against legislative spolia tion. We cannot think so ill of the Yerkeses of the county as to imagine that they would not welcome a state of public morals which would relieve them of the necessity for maintaining subsidizing departments. The only way to clean the evil out Is to go at It vigorously all along the line. Tho pub lic can have honest government when ever it will, ln vigilance, toll and con certed action, pay the price. The Hon. John Lelsenrlng, of Lu zerne, Is to be congratulated upon the zeal of his literary bureau, if not upon Its discretion. Why Not? According to Walter Wellman, the president now has In mind three dis tinct methods of dealing with the Cu ban question: 1. Direct Intervention for the pur pose of putting a stop to tho war, leaving tho future government of Cuba to be determined by negotiations. 2. A proposal to Spain that Cuba be granted her Independence for bonds of Indemnification, payment to be guar anteed by the United States. 3. A tender of mediation, with a suggestion that Cuba be given com plete local self-government like that of Canada, with the United States Joining Spain Is d. guarantee of future peace and order. Mr. Wellman adds: "The difficulties of the situation as they now present themselves to the president are many sided. Spain will refuse to part with Cuba for a price. She will resent In tervention and go to war If tho United States supports dlplomatto pressure with a show of force. SpatIn may even decline to accept mediation for the pur pose of securing autonomy. If she does accept this the Cubans will reject It and continue the war. It Is Inconceivable that the United States would use Its military power to suppresss tho rebel lion, and Spain alone Is unable to do It." Then why not pluck up courage and tako the bull by the horns? We can't let fear of tho consequences keep us Inactive Indefinitely In the face of bru talities such as are dally incidents of tho war in Cuba. On June 10 the Chicago Tribune, be ing fifty years old, commemorated the fact by means of an Issue comprising 48 pages, sixteen of them printed most artistically in colors. In many respects the Tribune of Chicago has, during Its eventful career, been to the North west what the Tribune of New York has been to the Atlantic sea boaid an exponent of the best progress. Its great success Is an invaluable Inspira tion to honest enterprise in the newspa per business. In a pinch we suppose the state school appropriation could be cut some; but it would be much more satisfac tory to see the legislature trying to cut some of its useless expenses. And now comes a Journalistic freak who objects because the president Is Junketing too muoh, What kind of an office docs he .think the presidency Is? Although accused by Judge Gordon of falsehood, Incompetence, cruelty and perjury, Colonel James C. Blddle, of Philadelphia, has been re-appolnted and unanimously confirmed as one of the Inspectors of to Eastern peniten tiary; and General AVIstar, his partner ln the accusations of Judge Gordon, has been selected by tho governor ana senate to represent Pennsylvania ln tho International prison congress. Evi dently Judeo Gordon needs to turn on moro steam. The most sensible suggestion offered during the recent discussion of the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty by tho senate? was that discretion be conferred upon tho president either to modify or to abrogate that compact as future cir cumstances may direct. In view of the possibility that Hawaii may be annex ed nn an early day it Is evident that this, subject should not be prematurely closed. One of the last things that tho Illin ois legislature did after sending the Chicago boodln bills to tho , governor was to repeal tho new libel law which aimed to put publishers on a footing of fairness. It Is remarkable with what unanimity knaves ln office oppose a free press. Predictions now of the future of the silver movement are worthless. They rest upon a foundation of popular un rest which six months may remove. No policy can win ln this country which Is unnble to make a sustained appeal to tho people's common sense. The court martlallng of the leader of the Marine band for declining to permit a conceited army lieutenant to usurp his functions as band master may be made necessary by the military rules, but from a civilian standpoint It looks like adding Insult to Injury, Some of the London correspondents arc again figuring out tho possibility of the election at the next conclave of cardinals of an American Pope. There will be an American Pope when there Is an Independent American Catholic church, but probably not before. The Popocrats of the house have de cided to abandon their ineffective at tacks upon "Czar" Peed. The "czar" is now an undisputed monarch, but hla absolutism fortunately is the abso lutism of common sense. If tho president cannot get any one else to accept the Madrid mission It Is possible that Lackawanna county might furnish a man with patriotism equal to the emergency. It usually can. 'Several cyclones have been reported recently, but we are pleased to note that not one of them came up In the form of a "dark, funnel-shaped cloud at first no larger than a man's hand." Qossip the Capital Special Correspondence of The Tribune. Washington, Juno 13. Nothing has more disturbed the Demo cratic leaders ln and out of congress than tho fact that a large number of Demo cratic members from tho south have, within tho past few days and weeks, cast their votes In favor of a protectlcve tar iff and that no less than one-third of the membors of congress from 'south of Ma son and Dixon's line havo either voted directly for a hlsru rate of protection ln tho pending tariff bill or refused to ca3t their vote3 against It. Thirty-two south ern men in the noure voted for tho Ding ley bill and five others from that section Populists refused to vote against it, while ln tho senate, as is well known, numbers of southern Democrats and Pop ulists have voted for either higher rates of protection than wero originally placed In the bill or than those reported from tho sc'nate finance committee. That this growth of protective senti ment Is the south Is a genuine one and largely tho result of tho development of manufacturing industries in that section is apparent, but the necessity for excus ing and minimizing it has led Mr. Bryan's organ, 'the Omaha. World-Herald, and other papers to assert that the protective vote from the south is cast by men, not natives of that section, and not represent ing Its real sentiment. A LAME APOLOGY. In a Tecent Issue, the Omaha World Herald, commenting upon this subject, says: "Durlnjr the last decade, a. great deal of northern capital has been invettei In southern manufacturing enterprises and It Is natural that tho investing cap italists after years of paternalism In tho shapo of protection should still cling to it. The voices from the south crying for pro tection aro voices that havo been Import, ed into that section from protection nur tured New England and are not the voices of southerners. The pro tectionists in the south are those who have left the sterllo hills of New England and wandered down south to broaden their field of operations." This statement Is interesting and es pecially so becaube It is untrue. Its un truthfulness ands to Its Interest because it shows to what desperate strait the Democratic leaders are forced in attempt ing by falsehood, as well as otherwise, to rescue tho free trado theory from de struction by membors of their own party and by men who have been lifelong mem bers of It. EXPOSED. This assertion that the southern votes which havo been cast for the protective tariff bill or for especially protective fea tures proposed or adopted, wero cast by mon not natives of that section carpet baggers Is absolutely untrue. Five Dem ocrats voted for the tariff bill ln tho house, Kleberg and Stayden, of Texas, and Broussard, Davey and Meyer, of Louisiana. Six Democrats have voted for high protective features of the bill in tho senate, Bacon and Clay, of Georgia; Till man and McLaurln, of South Carolina; McEnery, of Louisiana, and Martin, of Virginia. Every one of these (with the possible exception of Meyer, of Louisiana, Who does not indicate his birthplace ln tho autobiography published In the con gressional directory), is a native born southerner and has lived all his life In that section. Senator McEnery was born atMoaros, La,, was nominated by tho Democratic party as lieutenant governor in 1878, by the same party for governor In 1834, by the sama party for governor in 1892, and by the same party for senator ln 1896, being elected as a Democratic senator with the clear understanding that he was a protectionist in sentiment and would so vote In the senate. Mr. (Meyer, of Louisiana, who voted for the tariff bill In the house, has spent practically his en tire life In the south. Ho was educated In Virginia, serving as a Confederate of ficer and elected term after term to con gress as a Democrat. Mr. Davey, of Louisiana, who voted for the tariff bill In the house, Is a native of Louisiana, held various offices in that state as a Demo crat and was elected to congress as such. Mr. Broussard, of Louisiana, who also voted for the Dlngley bill ln the house, Is a native of Louisiana, has hold many po sitions ln Louisiana under the Democratic party and was elected to congress as a Democrat. Mr Kleberg, of Texas, who voted for the bill ln the house, Is a na tlvo of that state, served In the Confeder ate army, was elected to the stats sen ate as a Democrat In 1BS2, held a federal ofilce as a Democrat by appointment of President Cleveland, and was elected to cengtess as a Democrat. Mr. Slayden, of Texas, who is a natlye of Kentucky, was elected to the Texas legislature as ft Democrat, and tb congress as a Demo crat, yet voted for the Dlngloy bill In the house. Senator McLai.rln, of South Caro lina, who voted for high protection ln the Dlngley bill In tho ways and means com mittee and voted for a high rate of pro tection In the houso and In the senate on certain features of the bill, lo a natlvo of South Carolina, was elected attorney general of that state a a Democrat and four times elected to congress as a Dem ocrat. Senator Tillman, of South Caro lina, who voted for a high rate of pro tection on cotton atid thus enabled Its adoption by tho senate, Is a native of South Carolina, was nominated for gov ernor in that state by tho Democratic convention and elected to tho senate of tho United States as a Democrat. Sena tor Bacon, of Georgia, who led the suc cessful fight for a rlgh rate of protection on lumber, Is a natlvo of Georgia, was president of the state Domocratlo conven tion in 1850, elected a Democratic presi dential elector ln 1808, was a Democratlo member of tho Georgia houso of repre sentatives for fourteen years and was elected to the United States senate as a Democrat. Senator Clay, of Hhe same state, who voted with Mr. Bacon for pro tection to cotton and lumbor, Is also a natlvo of Georgia, was chairman of the Btato Democratlo executive committer and still holds that position and was elect ed to the senate as a Democrat. Senator Martin, of Virginia, voted with the He publicans for high protection on lumber. He Is a native of Virginia and his De mocracy has never been questioned. Sen ator Butler, of North Carolina, Populist, who voted not only for protection to col ton, but has sundry other high protection amendments to the tariff bill now pend ing, is a natlvo of North Carolina, was a Democrat prior t6 1892, since which ho has been a Populist and Is now chairman of the national committee of that party. Five southern Populists In the house re fused to ote against tho protective tar iff bill. Fowler, Martin, Shuford, Skinner and Strowd, of North Carolina, all of them .being natives of the states they now represent. PROTECTION'S VICTORY. It is thus apparent from the examina tion of the personal history of the Demo crats from the south who have voted for tho protective features of the tariff bill that ln every case they aro natives of that section and lifelong Democrats and that of the six southern Populists who voted for or refused to vote against the protective features of tho turlff bill every one Is a natlvo of tho south and for merly a Democrat. Tho same rule ln most cases applies to the thirty Republicans from the south. The Republican party has in congress today a greater number of members from south of Mason and Dixon's line than ever before with the possible exception of a single congress hortly after the clobe of the war. Four of these, Prltch ard, of North Carolina; Deboe, of Ken tucky; Elkins of West Virginia, and Wellington, of Olaryland, are ln the United States senate. Mr. Prltohard, Mr. Deboe, Mr. Wellington are native born southerners, and Mr. Elkins Is a natlvo of Ohio. The south has twenty-seven Re publican members In the house. Six of these are from Maryland, and of these six only two are natives of northern states; four members aro tram Kentucky, all natives of that state, and two from Tennessee, both natives of the south: two are from Virginia; both native of that state, and three aro from North Car olina, all natives of that state. Of tho fifty southern votes In congress cast for or refused to be cast against the protec tive features of the tariff bill now pending only sevjn are by men who are natives of tho north, while four of the northern votes cast for the protective tariff bill in the house, Barham, of California; Lacey, of Iowa; Morris, of Minnesota, and Dolllver, of Iowa, are natives of the south. INDEPENDENCE ONLY. Prom the New York Sun. With Cuba's cause almost won we hear In somo quarters proposals for home rule under Spanish sovereignty as a basis of peace. Such a solution of the problem might havo been accepted by the patriots In times put, but bow'could they accnt It now? Spain Is 1 fading straight for bankruptcy by prolonging' this war, whcieas no anxiety about war debts and no doubts as to their ability to carry on the etrupele indefinitely disturb the pa triots. But why should the gem of tho Antilles fee expected to accept less than that abso lute independence which every other Spanish colony In the New World has sooner or later obtained? Mexico, Central America and South America all achieved complete freedom from tho foreign yoke. Is Cuba's merit less than theirs? Has she been more sparing of her blood? Has she endured fewer hardships, or has she made fower sacrifices in the cause of liberty? It Is plain that tho time Is fast ap proaching when the fato of Cuba must be decided; and It Is our duty to do noth ing which would thwart her In obtaining her longed-for Independence of trans-At-lantlo domination. Let the model for Cuba as an American state bo not Can ada, but our own country. riiiLosoniv in ukief. Washington Letter, Chicago Record. Senator Chandler is a philosopher. On tho wall of his committee room hangs a llttJo sheet of paper upon which is in scribed in his handwriting the following maxims: "Fulfill existing promises before mak ing now promises." "ray your own debts before borrowing money to lend to others to enable them to pay their debts." "Bear your own burdens first; after that, try to help carry those of other peo ple." Senator Chandler says that In theso three sentences Ib bound up pretty nearly all the philosophy a man needs In life. WI1EKLS EVERYWHERE. From the Philadelphia Press. Bicycles are becoming one of the chief articles of export In this country. Dur ing the month of April alono the value of wheels sent abroad was $1,117,824 as against $330,990 In April of last year. For the ten months ending with April, 1897, the value of bicycles exported was J5,2S3, V as against $1,001,347 for a similar period of 1896. England takes tho greater part of American wheels, but many are sent to Asia, Africa and South America, This tremendous growth In the number of wheels exported is a true indication that the bicycle, as a vehicle of utility and pleasure, has become a permanent fix ture throughout the world. HAWAII IS WELCOME. From the Philadelphia Press. The country is well prepared for some definite action on the Hawaiian question. If President McKtnley negotiates a treaty whloh will brlnar Hawaii under the government of the United States as a territory It will bo accepted and wel comed by the people of this country. The apple is ripe and ready to drop Into our hand. To refuso it, to rejeot the pro posed union with all Its advantages, would bo an act of gross political 8tu pldlty which hereafter we would be sure to regret, and In all probability regret In vain.
