The suBpiclon Is srowlnff that the real crisis nt Harrlsburg has to do less with public than with private revenues. All That Cuba Wants. A correspondent ot the Now York Sun, writing from Manzanlllo, Cuba, sends two Important statements from generals high In the Cuban cause. Ono is by General Itabl, commander of the , insurgent cavalry forces In Orient; the other is by General Callxto Garcia, who ranks next to Gomez in author ity. General Itabl says: Intervention by tho United States In Cuba lu any way which would mean ma terlal' hcly to us, or would give a pro text to Spain for declaring war on the American lmtlon, Is, In my opinion, un necessary. If the United Stutcn will roc osuUo our bslligercncy, and remnln per fectly neutral In the otrugglo, that would be a wlso und Just measure, and It Is all wo nsk. At present tho United States, by persecuting our expeditions from that country 'and thwarting all tho efforts of our trlends to help us, deprives tho Cu ban army cf'pri adequate supply of mu nitions of war, and Is, therefore, prac-i tlcally an ally of Spain. I go so fur ns to say that in this respect tho United Stales Is tn us-a more formidable foe than the Spaniards themselves. Tho Spaniards fight us and the United States does not let U3 havo arms to dfend our lives. But If tho American nation will remain neutral so that we may buy in tha United States arms anil ammunition and send them In our own nrmed vessels to Cuba, then wo can fight tho Spaniard on even terms. If without a regular supply of arms and ammunition wo fought for ten years In the flrst war, and now, for moro than two years havo checked 200,000 Span ish regulars besides their irregular troops, you can imagine how easily wo will whip thorn If they do not have such potent as sistance as that tho United States gov ernment bos given them. General Garcia writes in a similar strain. "To recognize us ns belliger ents," says he, "Is neither to declare . war upon Bpaln nor to give Spain "' cause to declara war upon tho United States, nor to make any material sac rifice for Cuba. It is only to do Jus tice. I have always believed that the Cubans alone can win this war if we have only fair play." It will bo re membered that Maximo Gomez, the general-ln-cblef and tho backbone of the wholo revolutionary movement in Cuba, is on record to the same effect. Ho ridicules tho notion that Cuba wants help, and says it has no wish for any ndvnntago which it cannot fairly win with the United States remaining neutral, These words of tho three leading Cuban generals may be words of boastfulness, but they are words which, if accepted, by us, leave our Imnds washed of nil further responsibility. Recognition of belligerency is what the Cuban insurgents want. It Is all they nsk for from this government. They say they will bo content to abide the conseQuencea of It. Unless there .Js substantial reason for a contrary .course it appears as If the house might 'now without injustice to the presi dent take up the pigeon-holed Morgan resolution and proceed to pass it. There can be no possible question, pf the pop ularity of such a course. Last December eight "anarohlstB" were hanged at Barcelona and forty others sentenced to twenty years' per.al servitude. Now It comes out that the "confessions" upon the strength of which these sentences wore pronounced had been wrung from Innocent men by tortures which Included the lash, the gag and the hot iron. If Spain will permit such atrocities at home, what will she not overlook in Weyler'p do ings In Cuba? Borrowing Trouble. The Springfield Republican prpfesses to see vary serious possibilities in the future as a consequence of the un willingness of tho framera of tho Ding ley bill to negotiate a reciprocity of tariffs with Canada. It says: The Canadians seeking closer ties with their nearest neighbor found In Washing ton n new admnlslratiou that wus bent on divorcing Canada from the continent to which, in a commercial sense, she nat urally belongs. Instead of offorlng trale, .'onoeoslons wc -havie simply mado it harder than ever for Canada to trado with us. Wo havo driven her back Into the arms ot England: wo havo mada legs cordial our ieatlors with that party in tho Dominion which Is least prejudiced against tho republic; and, as suie ob fate, liavo done our best to keep tho North American continent divided and to build up, strengthen, solidify tho British em pire. In thus driving Canada from her natural alliances. In a commercial sense, Wo Inevitably widen tho breach between Great Britain am tho United States, for our relations with the empire aro mainly determined by tho British Canadian con nection. Tho rejection of tho arbitration treaty wan bad 'enough, but wan that tp 19 pompqred with thp present Republican tnrlff policy? By reciprocity Canada could hnyp been tied to the United States with trenjepdoua force which no amount of sentiment for the British connection could have oycrepme. nnd. through that wp should have been drawn nearer to the mother country. But by forcing our neighbor to seek a trado alllanco S,000 miles away wo strengthen on this eontl iierit a, rival powpr and banish still fur ther n (he mists pf the future the dream, of Anslo-Saxon unity. The "dream of Anglo-Saxon unity" was hardly built of sufficiently sub stantial stuff to warrant tho frarners of tho Dingley bll In entering Into a compact with Canada which would have given Canada the picat of (he egg a4 left the United States Jn posses sion simply of the shell, Our contem porary looks only at tho sentimental side of tip Subject; it Ignores tjifi practical Impossibility pf tjw nego. tlatlurt by Canada pf any alliance with Orest Britain sufllclently advantage ous jn tiw jgnff run to stop the uitj, mate drift of Canadian Inclination tpward pplltlpaj pnjpn vti tlw Ujltofl state?.

Onca in a, while some pessimistic writer about the coal trodn attempts to proye that anthracite n being driv en out of the market, or In other words that people are ceasing to burn us much of it as formerly. We have, for example, been told repeatedly n tho past few years that natural and manu factured gas, coke and prepared mix tures havo been crowding into the black diamond's field and undermining Its supremacy, an a parlor fuel. A good, many peopi have pome to be lieve this, but an examination of tho figures on the subject does not sustain the doleful contention. From 1803, ns Is pointed out in the June circular pf the Anthracite Cpal Operators' association, shipments of anthracite have Increased more rap idly than the population.

Bitt the Instruc tive features of this tabulation is the steadiness of, the growth of tho con sumption per capita in the country generally; a growth equalling almost thirty pounds per annum- Such a growth does not look as f the doom of anthracites wcro at hand.

After a Jong Interval of silence Ed ward Bellamy Is about to offer the pub lic another book dealing with social problems after the manner of "Looking Backward." It will be called "Equal ity," but as to its tenets wo are not In formed further than that H will In volve In some respects an answer to critics of his nationalistic and co-operative policy. A note from tho pub lisher tells us that publication will bo simultaneous in the United States, Oreat Britain, France, Germany, Swit zerland, Belgium, Spain and Italy, from which It Is to be Inferred that a large sale Is expected. But that would be only a natural expectation after the success of "Looking Backward," of which over 400,000 copies have been sold In this country alone, and which has been translated into nearly every civ ilized tongue. Since the time of the publication of "Ben Hur" no such an instance of sud denly acquired popularity has been known in American letterq as that which followed the production of "Looking Backward." The author of this interesting book duplicated By ron's experienco ,pf awakening ono morning to find himself famous, Prior to that time he had been known In the journalistic and literary circles of Springfield, Mass., as a man of vigor ous Ideas and diversified culture, whose editorials in Mr. Bowles' Republican were not simply well written, but of ten unique in originality and. virility, but of whom no startling literary achievement on a brnpd scale woe tor a moment expected. We have been tQl'l that "Looking Backward" w written for the greater part during the Inter vals Jn Mr. Bellamy's dally tol as a newspaper worker, one favorite time and place for Its composition being dur ing the noon hour at a little table in ono of the derman beer saloons in Springfield, whither the author wan no? customed t bo for his luncl), Thl? may be ft fairy tale, although It was told to pa by Wr, Bnllamy's. coisnj but In the spclollstlo undertone of thp book pne may almost perceive the reflex of a German restaurant. It was the shrewd Judgment or good fortune of Mr. Bellamy to put forth this wqrk; Just ot tho time when the public mind was In a humor to dabble In sociology pf tho visionary kind. Political and economic conditions had bred an unrest which among tho Ignor ant tended to violence and, among the learned, to speculative socagnit NP body know Just what he wanted, but everybody fancied he wanted some thing ne In social customs and gov ernment, and declined to bo happy un tl be got It. In this emergency camo Bellamy with Ills (rlrtpspent nationalis tic dream, and In a day (he Held was hla. Wo have neyer been able o de termlne to our own satisfaction whether the spasm M mental specula tion v))lcb, bis. boplf incited worked finally for good or evil, It was. a. poni pex eddy of Intellectual agitation whose counter currents baffle close Investiga tion! but upon the whole we Incllnp to the belief that the net effect has been pcrncpus, pssatlsfaoton has been created wjb ponditlops that pan peyer bo changed; the Inevitable ha been palnUd In polnr wiilch mates It harder than ever to endure, and about the only gain at all Is that some minds previous- ly fallow have been fertilized and put in I tho way of .cultivation in lime iojcomc. Ev,en here ignorance may havo been bliss. The doctrine of "Equality," if it shall be like its title, will probably prove quite ns Illusory as was the fundamen tal tcncvt of ''Looking Backward' in which event J.ts chief .effect will jje to augment the number of humanity's dis appointments. , TivftriJiJrclfl .of ,our .coal imports como from Canada tho bulk froin Nova Scotia. True, we ecU JCanada, three tons of coal for each ton bought by her In " Aha United States; but that which wo buy of her wo don't need, while most of that which she buys of us Is purchased from necessity, A uniform duty of' 75 cents per ton, therefore, on all kinds of ooal would not be too high. It Is an Interesting fact that while the Pennsylvania legislature was hag gling over and squeezing the cssenco out of a jUBt measure of libel law re form, the Massachusetts assembly was engaged in passing a similar measure. Wherefore this difference? It Is proposed at Harrlsburg to put the question of civil service reform to a popular vote. This would afford In structive election returns. No count ot noses has ever baen made on this single issue bo far as our recollection goes.

Gossip at the Capital Specia) Correspondence of The Tribune. Washington, Juno 17. According to Walter Wellpi11", Inter national considerations of the highest Im portance induced tho president to send the Hawaiian treaty to congress sooner than had been expeotod. Until recently It had not been supposed the president would send t)ie Hawaiian treaty to congress till next wlnt3r. But two very important considerations led tp a ohango of this programme. In tho first pace, it was nec essary to avoid a, defeat of the tariff: bill, which was jeoparded by the wrangling over tho Hawaiian reciprocity treaty. Secondly," Spain has for" some time been trying to Induco Japan to make o bold stand against Hawaii, The Spanish gov ernment has (luring tl)t) last six month9 soundsd' every government In Europe as to the chahoosi of support of a dlplomatlq order in cose of intervention by the United States- between Spain and Cuba. No encouragement has been found, ex cepting, perhaps, warm expressions of friendship frpm Austria-Hungary. There is not a nation In Europe that would caro to exchange tho friendship of the United States, for that of Spain. Thp Madrid government appeared to bo at tho end of its string In tho search for support, when tho disturbance between Japan and tho little Island republic of Hawaii oamo to tho surface. Information of a trustworthy character has reached the state department that tho Spanish minister In Japan has encouraged tho Japanese in making a bold stand against Hawpll, holding out ns pn inducement that tho United States -vyas not to be feared, as tho chances were that Spain would glvo tho United States enough trouble on' the Atlantis to keep Uncle Sam's tlnfer put of the Hawaiian pic. No one supposes that Japan would de liberately seek to annex Hawaii at the risk of -war with tho United States, or that tho Jnpanesq woud exchange" their present friendly relations with the United States for an alllanco with Spain. That was not tho game. On Spain's part tho effort was to bring about a threaten ing state of affairs In Hawaii, which might deter tho United States from proceeding With much Vigor In the dlrcotion of Cuba, Spain's theory was that the United States would cqncludo ono trouble at a time waa enough, and If trouble menaced on the west would bo likely to go much slowre toward trouble In tho cast, Spain'1 game was easy enough for ev eryone to' understand, and tho Japa did not mistake It. Whlla Spain was trv lng to uso ambitious Japan to pull Cuban chestnuts out of tho fire, the wily Japan ese liad fish of their own to fry. Under cover of possible troublo betweon Spain and tho United States it was their pro gramme to secure from Hawaii satisfac tion for the alleged violation of their treaty with island republic. It Is not believed in Washington that Japan has any serious intention tp an nex Hawaii. Considering that it Is well known to bo the traditional policy of this government to permit no transfer of Ha waii to any other power it is Inconceiv able that tho Japanese ambition could run so far as to como Into collision wltl) tho United States. But there Is n9 cer tainty op tlds score. As long as Japan had to deal with Ha waii alone,' and Hawaii as an lndpendent government was responsible to other na tions for its conduct and its treaty com pacts, a situation might easily bo built up In -which Japan would be nominally Justified In making war upon tho Pacific republic. Threats of this nature havo al ready been mado by the Japanese minis ter nt Honolulu. If Japan wero to make war upon Hawaii of courso thp result coujd bo easily fore told. Hawaii would be ot tho mercy of the Japs,. As tho victor Japan might de niarut cession of tho islands or a part pf them, and England or Russia might then I tako a hand and give diplomatic support to tho Justice pf her contention. The Hawaiian minister here has supplied the state department with eome Important Information concerning the policy of Japan. The Japanese are exceedingly ag gressive, almost imperative. They havo virtually held over Hawaii thp mPnaC( of war If their demands bo net compiled With. That the present situation Is one of danger to tho future qf Jf awat and of possible danger to thp peaceful relations existing between tho United States and Japan has been rccognUcd at tho state department. Before these affairs reached their pres ent critical state President McKlnley had decided upon tho annexation of Hawaii ns a part of his odmlnstratvo policy, but had thought to defer action till pt winter, Spain's machinations with Japan may not have had any Important Influ ence upon the course which the Aslullo nation has pursued toward Hawaii, but under tho cfrpumotanpe? t was thought to bo the part of prudence for the United States to give notice to the world as soon as posslblo that Hawaii is soon to become a part of tho United States, nnd that thereforo any aggressive policy toward the Mttlo republic la really an aggression, in tho end, upon the United States, Now that the tradltlPtial policy of the United States never to seek territory be yond the spa is about to bo broken down by tho force ot circumstances, It will not be a long step to similar action In refer ence to Cuba.

ANJ2RQCII-AJARKINP ACT. From the Washington Star. The signing of a treaty for tho annex ation of tho Hawaiian islands is an act of which tho administration may with every, reason bo proud, and upon which tho country may With reason bo congrat ulated. It Is tho working of "manlfoet destiny," nnd in the direction of tho ful fillment of our Just obligations to our selves and others. TJie aspirations of more than fifty years aro realized In it, ' nnd the best ood -most -progressive scntl-' ment of thlft jtresont day approves It. The details of tho" convention may with all tfafety bo loft to leisurely examination. They are the work of competent men, with a definite patriotic end In view. BU tho significance of tho convention Is eome thlng -to be lzed At oneu, And is ulfl clcnt to givo tho country tho wholo coun try n thrill of pildo and (pleasure (1) The Islands belong In our scheme of ndvancad and rapidly advaaclng national power. We are oxcluslvely a land power no longer. Wo are a nca power as well, and must support that power In every proper way. It Is especially necessary .that wo make ourselves strong In tho Pacific, nnd -the Hawaiian -islands nro4ho-key to h) Pacfflc. Olh'jlr d;)taiicy from our main coast lino will soon be annihilated, i by the laying of a cable and the estab lishment of a lino of fast vessels, and under the influences of speedy and fre quent communication the htw country in Its full development will rcflcot both tho spirit and the characteristics of tho old. (2) Tho United 6tats has o. record of phenomenal success in dealing with newly acquired torrltory.Toxas is a great and prosperous empire. Tho Louisiana pur chase, though inhabited at the start by pcoplo of an ajlon tonguo and habit, is now a garden spot, and the homo of mil lions. Whon It was acquired, It was noro difficult nnd took more time to go from Washington to New Orleans than now to go from Gar. Francisco to Honolulu. Alaska is rapidly developing under tho Stars and Stripes. This Is assurance in Itself of our ability -to convert the Ha waiian islands at a. very early day, with tho splendid start that American cjvlllza tlo already has there, Into territory to prosperous and inyltlng that It will fill up w)th pcoplo of 'excellent stomp and con dition. ' " (3) This step will arouse the people and appeal to thorn on tho score of the future. It will serve bb a finger-board, pointing to what Is before us, and how. If the country is to take its proper place In tho crowth of th world, the future must be met. There nro Just two 'conditions in the world, for "nations as for individuals; growth and decay. The United States cannot hopo to stand still. If It does not go forward it will certainly go backward. But growth, of course, does not mean n constant expansion of boundaries. It means tho rising lx all occasions when the country's welfare demands t, and when to make itself property felt Jt must make Itself strong.' There will follow some talk about Cuba. There aro very many people who would bo glad to see Cuba speedily fpllow Ha waii Into tho Union. Tho topic Is full pf suggestion. But sufficient unto the day is tho laland thereof. Tho Hawaiian group is rlpo and we take it In. With Cuba as rjpo and as pnxloiia for absorption apd thqt condition seems swiftly approaching who shall say that thp result in her Pase Will not bo thp same? A SKNSIUIiE l'OLIOV. From the WUkcs-Parro Itccorc. Tho city of Scranton, through Its board pf rndo and enterprising citizens, has for years, mado byory possible effort to Induce dcslrablo Industries to locute there, arid these efforts havo been attended with gratifying success. Surprise has been ex pressed that recently when a. western bi cycle planjt made 'overtures with a vlow to' Jocatlns in crauton no encourage ment was glvpm In conversation wjth a prominent Scrantonian a few weeks ugo ho was asked whether the bicycle plant referred to hod been secured. "No," wag tho reply, "tho fact Is wo do not want it. Ve haye ono .or two small blcypje facto ries in Scranton already, in which some "of our people aro interested. They are doing their best t expand and build up a prosperous business. They ougnt to havo a fair chance without being har rassed by local competition." There Is reason and good senso in a policy llko that. The fact is that the Scrantoplans have oxercUed excellent Judgment In their efforts to bring new Industries to tiat city, Thy calculate closely the probab ility of success from all standpoints, and when convinced '.hat" they have a good thing they hold out every reasonable In ducement and encouragement; otherwise they pay no attention to it. Scranton only wants industries tbt give promise Of succe33 and that will add something to tho general prosperity and wclfaro pf tho city. Others aro not encouraged to locate there. And it must bo admitted that is is a very good policy. CIVIL SERVICE STATISTICS.
