Why Americans Also Jubilate.
An Ideal day at Karvlew yesterday
combined with inspiring music and
beautiful scenery to put the multitude
nf excuisdonlsts.lnto fitting humor to
appreciate the oratory that eulogised
Vtctoiln and .exploited the gre'itnesa
of modern England. The commenmm
tion was a notable success nnd those
to whoso endrgy apd enterprise It owed
parentage merit In consequence the
mobt cordial congratulations.
In .1 community In whose population
nie numbeted so many nelsons onto
subjects of Gicnt Britain's queen, and
who .ire fo closely Identified by mem
ory and blood relationship with iIip
JulillV'nR millions across the sea, It
was only natural that the jubilee at
London should awaken icsponslvo en
thuslnsm. ' .ThSse Amei leans who have
not this pel sonr Interest In the com
memoration of 11 monarchical event will
not be so. cliuillsh as to resent the
nffnir at Karvlew. They will look upon
It In the sanitjklndly.and tolerant spirit
In which jtiWnMjMty In England looks
upon (he 'annual celebrations which
Americans In tlio kingdom observe on
the 1'ourth of July as an exhibition of
sentiment ciedltnble to those who make
it nnd Immediately conducive to Inter
national cpnfiateinlty and good will.
In this connection wo are favora
bly impiewsed with the suggestion of
eied In last night's Truth, namely,
that by way o good natured contrast
with the exetelves at Farvlevv yestei
day the Americans of the two counties
unite to effect an even more impiesslve
demonstration on Independence Day.
It is no rellectlon upon the achieve
ments of the English people during
the thtee-scdro yeais 01 their venerable
sovereign's reign to point out that
America, too-, has had sixty yeats of
progress. At the moment of Victoria's
ascension the stats In the Yankee flag
numbeied but 23 nnd they formed the
emblem of less than 15,000,000 people.
Today the stais number 45 and the
population exceeds 72,000,000.
In 1S37 the wealth of the United
Btatns was only $1,000,000,000. The six
ty years df lnteivening democracy
have inu eased It to $90,000,000,000. In
this Intervnl our lallway mileage has
gtown from 1,497 to 179,821, surpassing
the tota'. mileage of all Europe; the
capital of our banks has increased
from $.,U0.72.',091 to $1,031,970,234, and
their deposits from $127,397,185 to $1,907,
15G.277: our postolllces have multiplied
fiom lLlfl.'. with an annual revenue
of only $1,230,779 to 70,164, with a rev
enue of $70,93, 12S; the cereal pioduct
of our tut ins has enlarged from four
teen to ninety million tons and our an
nual manufactuted product has risen
ftom less than $300,000,000 to more than
$9,000,000,000. In this period we have
Klven to civilization the telegraph, the
telephone and the Atlantic cable; the
harvester, the trolley car and the typo-
bcttlng machine; and best of all, the
discovery of annestheslH. with Its al
most limitless easement of human
pain. In material pi ogress we have
astonished the world, and our achieve
ments n the domain of thought, fancy
and leseaich have been not less won
derful. The contemplation of these facts
alongside the causes which our English
cousins and their sympathizer offer
for their present demonstration of
gladness can do them no Injury nnd
may do 'us much good. By all means
let us have a rousing celebration of In
dependence I)a.
The crusade which has been begun
ngalpst President Andrews of Brown
university because ho favois bimetall
ism Is nkln In narrowness to the Vu
jitunleal instinct of some of New Eng
land's earlier Inhabitants who re
wauled Independent thlnkus by burn
ing them at the stake. The cause of
sound money locelves Infinite harm
from such fanatical champions.
Too Soon. 1
Denial quickly follows the report of
a few dais ajro that Piesldont Mc
Klnley had begun to negotiate a new
treaty of Arbitration with England. It
is said .that while his devotion to the
principles of nibltratlon Is ns Hun as
it ever vaH, he does not consider It
an expedient thing to send to the same
senate which killed one peace treaty
another instrument containing' essen
tially the samo piovlslons. He will
await a moie favorable opportunity
and In the meantime stilvo to promote
tho interests of international good will
In other ways.
To the mujorlty of persons this course
will appeal as sensible and prudent,
The principle hack of tho treaty that
was kflled survived its death and will
bo Increasingly In evidence In tho
statesmanship of the future. No press
ing necessity exists for an agreement
In writing between England and Amer
ica binding them over to keep the
peace.' They ate ndt bellicose. And If
they vveie It is improbable that a scrap
of paper would pi event a scrap at
anus. The faut Of tho matter is that
the two nations stand In exactly the
name- relationship toward each other
thut Jhoy occupied prior to the cou
sldnatlon of the last arbitration treaty,
and, In ,fapt, are on a better basis of
understanding than they woro before
President Cleveland sent to congress
his clailfyhig Venezuelan message.
Undtr 'those cHruiustances theie Is
little need of jeoparding the cause of
Hi-nitration by subjecting n second
tiealylto tho risk of probable defeat.
Tho senate which rejected the on
"'
trcnty could hardly he expected with
in a twelve-month to nccept the other.
Nor could tho McKlnley administration
nt a matter ot expediency afford to
Imperil its present nmlcablo relations
with tho senate in order to gain the
empty applause of the Impatient.
Subsequent history has shown that
when General Woodford told Spain,
twenty-seven yenrs- ago, that she might
better give Cuba her freedom at once
nnd save trouble he told tho truth. If
Spain doesn't like that kind of advlco
the fault isn't his.
The President's Cuban Policy.
Concerning the president's Cuban
policy tho dispatch which we reproduce
elsewhere from the Chicago Tlmcs
llerald Is entitled to crcdcnco not only
becauso It comes from a. source ot es
tablished trustworthiness, but also be
cause It coincides with tho Instruc
tions laid upon Major MclCinley by tiro
St. I.ouls platform and represents just
such a policy as a. man of the presi
dent's temperament nnd humane In
stincts wculd bo likely to adopt.
It is a firm, dignified and effectlvo
solution ot the mo3t vexing problem
by which American statesmanship
has In late years been confronted. That
Cuba is entitled to unconditional home
rule, with opportunity to fit herself In
the fulness of time for complete Inde
pendence. Is a proposition to which
every discerning American will cheer
fully arsont. That it Spain will not
voluntarily accord such freedom to
the victims of her persistent mlsgov
ernment In Cuba It will become tho
duty of the United States, not only as
ft matter of piotcctlon to her own com
merce and security but from the high
est humanitarian promptings, to Inter
vene for Its establishment In spite of
Spanish obstinacy Is equally clear.
The general principles of the admin
istration's policy as outlined in that
dispatch combine a pacific intent with
f uth firmness of purpose as cannot fall
to w in the respect of every honest man
converse.nt with the circumstances.
The American people will await with
keen Interest the progress of Its un
folding after Oeneral Woodford shall
lave reeched his post of duty at Jla
drld. Mr. Cleveland has declined to ex
press himself on the Hawaiian que
tion, but the chances are ho Is doing
some tall thlnklncr.
A Role That Will Not Do.
Tho announcement by Commander
Booth-Tucker, of the Salvation army,
that rather than pay a fine In conse
quence of his tecent conviction for
maintaining a disorderly house he will
go to Jail Is a continuation of a cheap
and disreputable attempt to play the
martyr. Instead of capturing sym
pathy he has deservedly won con
tempt. Theie are the facts: At tho New
York barracks the Salvation army, un
der Booth-Tucker's direction, conduct
ed nightly services made noisy by horns
and drums and continued until farjn
the morning, until the neighbors, driv
en desperate by the unseemly din, took
the matter Into the courts. After a
fair trial In which the testimony un
mistakably pointed to the barracks as
a nuisance, Booth-Tucker was found
guilty. Had he then accepted the ver
dict of tho law and moderated the
practices thus declared Illegal, nil
would have been well; but Instead he
Immediately started a howl of martyr
dom and tried to project himself upon
public notice as a man under persecu
tion for righteousness' sakp.
The public has no quarrel with the
Salvation army so long as It keeps
within Its proper place. It may have
Its suspicions that the army is not as
free from humbug as it ought to be,
considering the noisiness of Its preten
sions; but thnt Is neither here nor
theie. Let the army show respect for
tho rights of th-community and prac
tice obedience to the law and it can
get along in this country without any
trouble. But if it proposes to set up on
tho Booth-Tucker principle of super
iority to the law nnd to the common
decencies of life, and fancies It can
make a successful appeal to American
sympathy on that basis, It will make a
fatal mistake. The sooner It realizes
this fact tho better.
It Is announced that Oeneral Lee
has requested the president to permit
him to relinquish the consul general
ship at Havana some time In July. It
Is needless to say that this request
proceeds from General Lee's own In
clination and Is in no sense indicative
of executive dissatisfaction with his
oillclal course. On the contrary, Pres
ident McKlnley shares with the Ameri
can people their high admiration of tho
efllclent und patriotic character of tho
Virginian's services at Havana, nnd
would no doubt be 'glad, If he could,
to cast a vote for Ceueial Lee when
the latter shall run next fall for Gov
ernor ot Virginia.
Conquering n Deficit.
. The revenue programme decided
upon at Harrlsburg after a conference
of tho various leaders, Including tho
governor, 'Senator Quay, Chairman
Elkln and repiesentatlves of the Wan
amaker faction known uh the "Seventy-six,"
Includes tho following fea
tures; A reduction of $500,000 her annum in
tho state school appropriation.
The doubling of the retail liquor li
cense fee In townships and boroughs.
The lalslng of the license feo In
thlrd-cluss cities to $750.
The addition of 10 por cent, to the
liconse fee In first- nnd second-class
cities, these various Increases to go to
the state.
The taxing of distilleries and brew
eries according to their capacity; and
lastly:
A revision of the mercantile tax law
by which dealers will bo made to puy
In uccordanco with tho business done.
It Is undei stood that the "Seventy
six" will fight the cut In the publio
school appropriation, und It Is possible
that no Increase In the liquor license
eo will be made In the first- and sec-
ond-clnss cities; but It appears that
the other amendments are likely to
bo pushed through unchanged. Tho
direct inheritance tax na originally
passed will bo passed upon by tho
Supreme court and It Is thought that
It will be pronounced constitutional,
In which event the revenues of tho state
will bo ample for nil probable emer
gencies. Even should It be dealarcd in
valid, tho foregoing programme, It Is
cSnlmed, will supply sufficient revenue
to bridge over tho crisis until better
times shall arrive.
There will bo bitter opposition from
tho liquor men to the Increasing of
tho tetnll license fee, nnd In communi
ties like this It is doubtful If such an
Increase would materially nugment tho
revenues from this source. It would
be more likely to swell the number of
saloons thnt pay no license at nil, ex
cept to the federal government; and
without nn Improved machinery for
enforcing the license law tho multipli
cation of speak easles could piocced
almost without hindrance. But there
is no possible adjustment of state tax
ation which would not bo open to ob
jection from some quarter; and If the
plan outlined nbovo is the best that
can be devised, It should be pushed
through at once, so that the agony
may end.
Itallroad earnings for the first half of
this month show a gain of six per cent,
over tho same period last year, and
still the croakers say business Isn't
Improving.
UnIe Sam's Progress
in Sii$ty Years
Bion II. Butkr, In Pittsburg Times.
Englishmen are pointing with a good
deal of pride to tho remarkable growth of
London from the time of Queen Victoria's
accession to the throne. They have rea
son to fel gratified by the development
of their metiopolls, for In the three score
years it has arisen from a cluster of
houses art 1 shops sheltering 1,000,000 pto
plo to a well built city of four times that
many Inhabitants. But while London has
grown 300 per cent. In GO jears. it Is in
teresting to noto what has been done here
with 12,000,000 youls. It has increased 600
per cent. In CO years, or twice as rapidly
as the ono rapidly growing English city.
With us the whole nation has made un
precedented growth, not merely one fa
oied section of It. In 1S30 the entire
popuSatlon of all the American cities was
less than 2,000,000. Now we have four
cities with more than a million each,
whilo England has but one, nnd but ono
thnt exceeds 500,000 Inhabitants very
much. Then there wes one city in tho
country, New York, with a population ex
ceeding 100,000 Philadelphia and Balti
more had 80,000, Boston 61,000, and
Chailcston, Vvhlch ranked fifth, contained
30,000 New York has increased thieo
times as fnst ns London, Brooklyn has
Increased more than 1,000 per cent, against
London's COO In the samo time, while Chi
cago has grown from nothing at nil to
a place nearly half as large as London
In 1S30 Cleveland was a town of 1,070 pei
sons. Pittsburg had grown as large as
Butler Is now. Besides Chicago, other
towns then not In existence are Milwau
kee, Minneapolis, Kunsas City, Omaha,
St. Paul, Jersey City, Denver and In
dianapolis all ot them now having a pop
ulation of mote than 100,000.
o
In 1SC0 Ohio was out west, and the
northwest cornet of tho state was still
unsettled. Illinois had fewer than two In
habitants to tho square mile In fully half
her territory, and not more than 10 or 12
In the most populous portion. The Pot
tawatomie Indians lived on the south end
of Lake Michigan, and nobody cared
enough foi tho swamp lands to dispute
them their possession Where then tho
country had a settled area of C32.000
squaro miles It has row a settled area of
almost 2,000,000, or a greater rate of prog
ress than the marvelous growth of Lon
don's population which excites the ad
miration of the Britisher. Since 1830,
which Is as far as the census figures go
back, tho number of farms have Increased
from 1,415,000 to 4,5J4,000, or fully as rap
Idly as tho increase of London in the
longer period. Since 1810 tho cereal pro
duction has Jumped up from 615,000,001
bushels to 3,518,000,000, or COO per cent.
Hoises Increased in numbers from 4,330,
000 In 1550 to 15,000.000 In 1S90. and cattlo In
the samo time fiom 17,000,000 to 51,000,000.
o
In 1830 there were not quite 40 miles of
railroad In the United States. At present
tho steam and street railroads run close
to 200,000 miles, employing an army of
more than three-quarters of a million
people, and pa) lug In wages annually, dl
lectly or indirectly, fully $700,000,000. Tho
railroads, not In existence when Vic
toria was a girl, pay now In Interest and
tuxes half as much as the cost of run
ning tho federal government annually,
and their debt Is five times as much as
that of the United States. It is apparent
that In manufacturing and mining the
development has been more rapid than In
other lines for these are comparatively
new industries In a new country, vvhlch
In its early days depended more on tho
farm than on the factory for a livelihood
for Its people, let so pronounced has
been tho giowth of tho manufacturing
Interests that from nothing at ull tne
United States havo come to occupy tho
first placs among the nations of the
world, as well as In the production ot
minerals. In Iron, peti oleum, copper,
gold, silver, haid coal and (except Eng
land alone, to which wo are a close sec
ond) soft coal, nnd in many other things
not of so much importance, this country
ranks at the head. In nothing can the
British emplio show such marvelous de
velopment as In the Iron und steel manu
factuio of this country, which, taking up
the thread uheio the oW world would
permit, has climbed to a first place, and
is now disputing with the nations of Ku
ropo tho actual domination of tho mar
kets of the world. Tho precious metals
of tho west have made a hlstoiy foi tho
United States In tho wny of gold, sllv el
and copper production that stands alone.
The $100,000,000 worth of oil produced
by tho wells of this country reads like a
story of Aladdin and his lamp to those
not familiar with the tomnntlc business
and Is unparalleled by anything Englund
has to show,
o
Whpn It comes to line streets, comfoits
of city life, public or prlvato uuildlngs,
or any of those things that go to modern
ise or Improve cither town or countty, tho
old world is sadly behind the piogresidvo
and audacious hustler of tiho western
hemisphere. London has some lino build
ings, though they date farther back than
the queen's reign. But London has noth
ing to surpass the public buildings of this
country. Our national eapltol, rebuilt
nnd built largely slnco tho accession of
the queen. Is the superior of anything
built In London In the same time. If the
same Is not also tiue of the city hall 111
Philadelphia, tho eapltol at Albany, and
that In Austin, Tex. And so far as busi
ness places and tho homes of the people
are concerned, no city In Europe has any
thing like so many conifoi table, commo
dious and modern bulldlngx as neurly
any prominent city of the United States,
London, with Its nanow, crooked streets,
must dopend on one-horse cabs for her
rapid transit. A crowd that travels on
Pittsburgh trolley loads nt 5 o'clock In
the ovenlng would fill London, if put In
cabs, in a 33m from Trafalgar square to
the Bank of England. Tho dingy stores,
the crooked and narrow lanes, the 111
lighted hallways and the utility little
looms In which men have offices would
not be tolerated In any American city of
f0,()00 people, let alono a big place that
prides Itself on Its ky-sorapers, with
c'.vators and all sorts of Yankee modern
conveniences.
Of course America can lay no credit to
augmenting the growth of London
through supplying any pereeptlblo num
ber of the added inhabitants. For the
lido of Immigration has been generally
tho other way. Many of our best alien
population havo como from London as
well ns from other parts of tho British
empire. But to the inventive nenlus of
tho American, whlth has made progress
possible wherever civilization, hna ob
tained a foothold, London owes her shnro
American ptoducts have been gradually

they are now in abundance. Tho Lon

Scranton commends Itself to tho cordial
approval of all who dcslro to seo the af

city and center conducted ellltlcutly and

his duties unlmpcachablo Integrity, a
considerable experience In public life

Colonel Hippie on his nppolntment, but
It cougrntulates tho pcopie of Scranton

Scranton Times: "There is not a par
ticle of doubt that Colonel Hippie will

he never neglects any of them. Under his
administration business methods will pre

which haB been maintained in the Scran

improved. Democrats havo no reason
to complain of tho change. It was to

that it be made at once. We can there

congratulations to Colonel Hippie upon

"Tho man Is still ut tho foot of the
flagstaff in Honolulu," says a citizen of
Hawaii now temporarlaly sojourning In
Washington. "What I mean by this can
best be Illustrated by a story from hls
torj. Some years ago the French at
tempted to collect a claim against tho
Hawaiian government by a show of force.
Mitlers finally reached a point where tho
commander of the French war vessel In
the harbor proposed to shell the town.
Before doing so ho cnlled on the com
mander of the Brltibh cruiser stationed
theie and suggested that arrangements
be made to piotect tho lives of British
subjects. ,
" 'If I were in your place I wouldn't
shell the city," said the Britisher.
" 'But I think I will do it, Just the
same.' said the Frenchman.
"'Walt till I tell you something you
do not know,' retorted her majesty s of
flcei, 'and then you may think better or
It. At tho foot of tho flagstaff in front
of tho king's palace stands a man. He Is
thero all tho time. Ho has In his pocket
an American flag. The king's ministers
have prepared a deed of cession, trans
ferring tho HJawallan Is'nnds to the
United States. The moment you fire on
the tow n or give notice that you are about
to do so that deed of cession will be
signed by tho king. Tho Stars and
Stilpe-s will bo nttached to the halyards
and sent flying nt the top of the pole.
Then you are welcomo to flro upon the

"The Frenchman thought belter of his
scheme, and Honolulu was not shelled."
