The chances arc that It the legislative Junketeers had to do their "Investi gating" on tho own account, they would do It it t one-flftleth of the ex pense which they unblushlngly propose to saddle upon the state. Some Uxpensu Accounts. Tho publication of the expense ac counts of the vnr'lous legislative junk ets authorized by tho present Pennsyl vania legislntuie mukeS interesting reading. For "Investigating" tho East ern penltentlury a committee of eight members, including Representative Fnrr, wants Just' a few dollars short of $15,000. If tho state were to ask for specifications ns to where It received $15,000-wor"th of benefit from the com mittee's labors, the members of that august body would probably bo strick en dumb. For Investigating the capltol fire n. bill of $1,700 Is presented; to -."probe" :he state treasurer's and auditor gen eral's departments cost almost $3,000; to find out how many of our Jail birds are aliens necessitated a bill of costs pf $1,900; for the "oleo" probers a bill of expense amounting to $7,000 was pre pared, but at the last moment two of the eight members concerned In that enterprise declined to take mileage from the statOj-ln view of the fact that they traveled on passes, and thus the total was somewhat reduced; and to carry the legislature to New York to the Grant monument dedication took $11,000. But the worst Hem In the list Is yet to come. Tho two committees which "Investigated" the mining regions of the state want In round numbers $12, 000 apiece for what? We have before us the report of the committee which patrolled the anthracite counties. In addition to a mass of familiar figures which could have been collected by any good mining authority In about half a day at a cost of not to exceed $25, the report offers six recommendations, and the legislature is asked to value them at $2,000 apiece. They are: First, to abolish company stores; second, to do nway with store orders; third, to enact a new compulsory semi-monthly pay law; fourth, to appoint a state board of mine examiners; fifth, to enable tho courts upon petition to appoint inspec tors of coal; and sixth, to restrict im mlgiatlon. Is there one ofj these pro positions that is not mildewed with long urging? - Charities are to be cut, public educa tion crippled and needed Improvements of state institutions suspended, but the junketeer must have his "pap" though the heavens fall. We were told during the "Lexowlng" of Philadelphia that there were nu merous private citizens anxious for the privilege of paying the Andrews com mittee's expenses. Now is a good time for them to step to the front. Initiative and Referendum. At a special election toon to bo held in Omaha an Interesting question will be submitted to a popular vote. The last Nebraska legislature passed a law authorizing voters In cities and towns to adopt at their option the Initiative and referendum. If Omaha by a two thirds vote shall adopt these two prin ciples the effect will be as follows: Fif teen per cent, of tho voters of Omaha may thereafter by petition propose or dinances, and twenty per cent, of the voters may compel the city government to submit proposed ordinances to a vote of the people. For tho referendum it is provided that ordinances passed by the city council shall not go into effect for thirty days, and If In the meantime five per cent, of the voters petition for the submission of an ordinance to popu lar vote the same shall be submitted, and must be approved by a majority to come Into effect. If ten per cent, of the voters petition, then the ordinance shall be submitted at a special election held within twenty days. Ordinances relating to the immediate preserva tion of the public peace and health, and Items of anroprlatlons for current ex pens'esjiot In excess of those made tho previous year, are expected from the referendum rule. Theseffeptof.an arrangement of this ch(jracter7it'l8M5lJvI()us, would depend largely-upon the 'interest taken by' the peorjie generally In municipal affairs. If they were Indifferent, their govern ment would reflect It Just as at pres ent; and If they were vigilant, tho pro posed submission of separate questions totjSbnulaY'vdte would be rendered al most 'unnecessary by the trustworthy charabterlbf the men who would In that rven&h&'etaiUed to municipal olllce. So thatiiieitlicjcnsc the experiment ap-pears'(jll-nlKh superfludus and would also teJlkely''tu prove, for a time, con fuslnB.Tarul'alM)ie, time expensive. It l-o'sslb1e",'nqWever,'that upon rare occasions, ds. for examnle. when n valutlMojfrajiohlse Is to be disposed of, It wQlildibe worth while to the public to havotlifc privilege pf the referendum. The jje,ople,. to ! uie, deserve little sympathy If the-don't try to elect hon est aia?oNscientlous.rnpn to councils; hut lncdmmunltlcs where tho control ling vo.lofi'lii councils for ona reason or niol)ier Islield by pun or two large corporations-through. the medium of em ployes elected to that oody under or ders from (the management,, it might upon the whole, straighten things out a little if It were known that a majority of tho common people, voting by Hccret ballot, .could, when, they chose, check a councllnmnhr "flxun"'tr squelch a cor--ornton"grau." .FoiMhesp reasons the proposition w"duld seem to warrant an experimental 'trial. But tho greatest thing, ancr all, Is tiul!c sentiment: and uUt-'that la inv proved hopes based on changes In meth ods of government will be doomed to disappointment. The opponents of Hawaiian annexa tion have fabricated another scare crow In the report that Japan has flatly and peremptorily warned us off, As a mat ter of fact, Japan has dono nothing of the hind, but If she had It would ce talnly not cause us to abandon Hawaii to .Japanese control. Tho president who should permit this key to the Pa cific to fall Into the hands of possible enemies of tho United States would go out of ofllce a worse execrated man than Benedict Arnold, and his offence would have fewer extenuating circum stances than Arnold's had. Very Properly Condemned. The short-sighted action of tho trus-' tees of Browr. unlerslty In censuring Its president because he had exhibit ed the courage of his convictions on the silver Issue receives universal rebuke. The general opinion was well expressed by President Harper of the University of Chicago, who, in his baccalaureate sermon delivered tho day after the trustees had acted, took occasion to soy: "Even In tho sacred circle of the university, where, If anywhere, there should be opportunity to think and ex press one's "thioghts, not infrequently Is felt the Iron hand pf authority, moved by suspicion and self-interest. In fiee and fnlr New England, the giound on which the struggle for free dom of opinion was fought out, un old nnd established Institution only yester day censured its head because, for sooth, he had the courage to think for himself, and, still worse, to speak what he thought. This censure, ordered to be administered by a committee of trus tees, Is a blot uppri the,hlstory of that honored college' Which a century of prosperity Will not wipe out." Similar disapproval Is uttered by tho Springfield Republican. Radical though It Is for gold monometallism, which President Andrews opposes, It Is nev ertheless moved to remark: "In the case of President Andrews the bitter ness among Rhode Island manufac turers happens to be extreme, and we see a reversion to an archaic form of intolerance and bigotry. But let him be forced to resign, and the proof that the world has moved will at once ap pear In tho storm of protest and the severe blow to Its influence and stand ing which that Institution will suffer." Persecution for opinion's sake Is un American, no matter In what cause it Is put forth. We cannot believe that the oppsltlon to free coinage needs to employ coercion to establish Its argu ment In the favor of the people. General Woodford requests the public to make note of the fact that ho Isn't saying a word. Ho did his talking twenty-seven years ago'. Ohio Republicans on Cuba. Considerable Interest naturally at tached to the outgiving of the Ohio Republican convention on the subject of Cuba, both because that convention may fairly be supposed to reflect the administration's sentiments and be cause it was recently reported that Senator Hanna wanted the subject to be Ignored. The result Is satisfactory. Senator Hanna's friends were In con trol, but Cuba was not Ignored. The Cuban plank adopted at Toledo was as follows: The Republican party has always been tho friend of tho downtrodden nnd op pressed, and has always deeply sympa thised with tho struggle of any people lor Independence. We extend our sympathy to the patriots of Cuba. In their efforts to achieve freedom from Spanish cruelty nnd oppression, and hope that the day of their deliverance Is near at hand. We commend the course of the president and expiess our confidence In his speedy and patriotic disposition of the Cuban ques tion In accordance with wise statesman ship end a Arm and vigorous foreign pol icy. This Is not a radical plank but it covers tho ground. Its tenor was fore shadowed in 'the opening address of General Grosvenor, who, coming to the convention directly from Wash ington, said: -"The American people sympathize with the struggling masses of down-trodden people in Cuba, and no man of the Republi can party feels more deeply for and sincerely sympathizes with them than does the president of the United States; but he owes a duty to the laws and constitution of tho country, and our treaties with foreign nations are a part of the law, and so the president, omit ting no opportunity that could be just ly acted upon, will not fall to respond to the cry of relief from suffering Cu bans, but he will not plunge this coun try Into war until the means of peace and diplomacy have all failed to vin dicate the honor of the nation." It Is Interesting to note, in this con nection, that the leading Cuban ad vocate In Amerlcn, the New York Sun, has ceased to prod the president and Is evidently In possession of informa tion which leads It to await In pa tience the development of the policy upon which the executive's choice has fallen. What that policy will be has alieady been Indicated In The Tribune. It will completely satisfy the best American opinion. The Sabbath Defender Is one of the latest Journalistic ventures of the Electric City that Is deserving cf cor dial support. Tho Sabbath Defender is a neat elght-pago paper, published by the veteian preacher-editor, Rev. F. A. Dony, and its avowed mission Is the stimulation of a spirit that will load to a better observance of the Lord's day of rent in this vicinity. Its contents are well edited and Interest ing, and give evidence that the pub lisher and his supporters aro thorough ly In earnest In the good work before them. The.Subbnth Defender Is worthy of the putronage of nil good people. Its success will Indicate that our com munity Is growing better. It has Tho Trlbuno'a best wishes for. continued prosperity. It has been decided by tho Indiana Supreme court that becauso a man owns a large quantity of natural gas Is no reason why he should Waste It. Unfortunately Jerry Simpson and Bry an do not live In Indiana. The leader of: the marine band at Washington, under tho orders of the asslstunt recrctnry of tho navy, has been reptlmanded for, his breach of dis cipline In refusing to permit a popinjay lieutenant puffed with brief authority to dictate to him what kind of musle the band should play on Memorial day. But It the navy department wants to see complete Justice done It will now order that ofllclous lieutenant to bo soundly spanked and put to bed. m It Is argued as a reason against Hawaiian annexation that Thomas Jefferson wroto to Madison In 1809 that nothing In way of new territory should ever be accepted by the United Htates If It required a navy to defend It. Tho coast lino of JcfferBon'B own Louisiana purchnso needs a navy to defend It and so docs any other territory contig uous to navigable water. Thomas Jef ferson was a. wise man, but he occa sionally uttered oracular platitudes that do not sustain Investigation. The Chicago Times-Herald speaks In terms of eulogy concerning the "intense "national feeling" which animates the British people, and which has been In unexampled evidence In London this week. Does our contemporary realize that this feeling Is "Jingoism" of the most ultra type? If so, why does it ad mire British "Jingoism" and yet de plore the same spirit when manifested toward better ends by patriotic Ameri cans? , . . Tho Liberal party In Spain proposes. It is said, to go before the people of Spain on a platform of honest reform In Cuba; but to make sure, the next re form programme In that Island will need to have the guarantee of your Uncle Samuel. The adoption by the legislature of the bill to punish citizens who don't vote was a bit of balderdash which offers a fine opening for the governor's veto ax. Senator Quay failed to carry his rolnt on the wool schedule In the sen ate, but he will probably meet his op ponents In conference. If Lieutenant Peary shall get away on his proposed North Pole search It will be because the fool-klllcr has ne glected his dutv. Rich People -the Slowest lo Pay James G. Cannon, vice president of tho Fourth National bank of New York, made tho statement In an address before the national association of "credit men" lint tho wenlthy class give the most trouble in retail credits. He had consulted a large number of merchants In vnrlous parts of the country and found It nlmost Invariably their experience that "the slow est customers are those who could most easily pay cash; it Is nlmost impossible to collect from them." This, remarks tho Sprlngllekl Repubn, Is a fact as dis creditable to the class In question as It is surprising, it not only sets a vicious example of unconcern for obligations fairly incut red by those who can least af ford to have such an example become con tagious, but it works positive Injury not alone to the tradesman, but to those of his patrons' who do pay promptly, and be trays the exlstcnco of a servility of dc meenor on the one hand and of a superior Indifference on the other, which Is not creditable to cither party and not helpful to business equality and exactness. o It would be a surprise to his audience, Mr. Cannon said, to learn tho names of those standing high In business nnd so cial circles who aro dilatory In paying their personal bills. A representative merchant of New York had lately ex ptcssed to him his inability to under stand why so many rich people "allowed their bills to run so eternally slow." If the merchant protests these debtors usu ally affect to feel very much Insulted and quite generally transfer their patronago to another store often without settling the long-due balance nt the other. They cannot npparently bring themselves to realize, says Mr. Cyjnon, thnt a debt contracted In this way Is a Just one. o He gave a few cases that had come un der his own observation. One was where a poor dr jssmnker had worked J1J0 worth for a wealthy 'woman who paid $50 nnd then went on a long European trip, not paying the icmalnlng $100 until. her re turn. In that time the poor woman had to default on her house rent and other obligations, and not only suffered humil iation herself, but of course had to visit trouble ,pon others sho was owing. -Another case was that of a butcher doing a large business who had as a customer ono of tho very "swellest" families In New York. This family's account' kept uc cumulatlng, the occasional payments, leisurely made, not even sufficing to pro vent tho balance from Increasing, until tho butcher, out of patience and in alarm, timidly intimated that a com plete settkment was desirable. There upon the wealthy debtor became very imuch offended, repudiated the whoLc. debt, and went over to another butcher "still keeping up style nnd no doubt con tinuing to roll up bills with other deal ers." o These are simply cxnmples of a prac tice quite general among the rich. Their dllatoiiness In some cases is duo to care lessness and an Indisposition on the part of the tradesman who enjoys their pat ronage to remind them at frequent and regular Intervals of their obligations. In other cases, It Is to be feared, the neg lect Is moro deliberate and grows out of a self-assumed superiority to vulgar gro eery bills and disgusting little meat ac counts and Indifference to the obligations they Imply. In some few cases there Is a manifest disposition to. maintain an expensive style of appearance nnd living with an much cost to others as can be put upon them. o This Is all wrong, and the only remedy for It we can think of Is for the mer chant to becomo less fearful of losing this or that wealthy customer and to In sist upon as prompt payments from this class as he would from any other. Some pressure on this line applied by the stronger merchants In a locality would ere long correct what is largely only a habit. Wo have been going through a period of Inconsiderate personal extrava gance all around, and unlimited credit at tho stores Is no little cause for It. The practice of cash payments Is not only wholesomely coneetlve of this, but bene ficial to the merchant as well in the end. His customers may not buy ns much now or at one time, but In the long tun they will. There Is little good reason for. the salaried or wage-earning person -ever to ask credit save in exceptional Instances, nnd prompt settlements from the wealthy would help vastly not only In putting and keeping retail trade almost entlicly on a cash basis, but In promoting general habits of thrift, living within means and strict honesty In the observance of the smaller obligations of life as well as the larger. THE JUBILEE'S REAL MEANINQ. From the Washington Post. In the midst of all the gush and accla mation current In connection with tho "diamond Jubilee" It may seem ungra cious 'to Interject a word of common Bense nnd fac;, but the truth remains that the mngnitlcent progress of the past sixty years Is due pot to Queen Victoria or to any other magistrate or monarch In ex istence. It Is due to the people them selves, to their pride, their sturdy love of liberty, to their growing Intelligence, and their Indomitable nnd devoted asplra. lions. 80 far as Great Drltaln Is con fernrfd, Its greatness, its prosperity, and Its happiness hnvo been wrought by Eng. lhmt.n, It Is Victoria's honor nnd rc nown thnt she has offered no obstacle to tho onward movement of her time. She could not have checked thnt movement any moro than she could nlono have Initiated and .conducted It. Her sov ereignty is purely fictitious. Her power Is tho merest form of speech. The strength, the splendor, nnd tho growth of England are the fruit of English genius and courngc. They are tho product of tho people's brawn rnd brain and energy. o That sho has been a sympathetic, ap proving representative of all this splen did evolution It wero folly to deny. That sho has set an exnmple of nil the personal und domestic virtues the world thank fully acknowledges. But to ascribe tho moral, Intellectual, social and political growth of Great Britain to any cause save that of tho genius of the EnglUh peoplo yould be to challenge the facts of history nnd to convict one's self of Ig norance. Th6 British monarchy Is a tra dition. The throne Is a symbol and a met aphor. Freedom has reached its high est and most wholesome development In that splendid emplro upon which the sun never sets, and the glory of the Victorian era Is really tho glory of the Anglo Saxon race. We make tho queen the os tensible object of our tribute and con gratulation. In fact and truth, wo are celebrating the splendid people to whom sho owes all her eminence and exaltation. VICTORIA THE S0VEREI0N. From tho Times-Herald. Seveinl popular errors prevail In re spect to tho place of the sovereign In the English constitution. As a rulo among us tho queen Is looked upon as a sort Of show toy which Englishmen are willing to pay for simply for the purpose of look ing at. Wo often smllo pityingly upon them, and wonder how they can be so foolish nnd so wasteful of the public money. Another common Impression Is that "tho queen reigns but docs not gov ern," meaning that sho Is powerless to direct her parliaments or sway her peo ple. Queen Victoria has not the power of Elizabeth nor even of her grandfather, Georgo HI., but nevertheless she Is not a figurehead by any means. The "roynl Influence" is an enormous power. What it exactly Is no ono can say with preci sion, but that It permeates tho constitu tional government no one can deny. Tho favor or disfavor of the sovereign Influ ences the action and the conduct of states men and of ministers, and not unfre quently makes or mars a political policy. o The queen can control tho appointment of particular ministers In her cabinet, nnd to thnt extent, at least, can control tho cabinet. The prime minister Is bound to transmit to her authentic Information of all tho most lmportnr.t decisions made by the cabinet, and the more important votes in parliament, nnd she has a right to complain If she does not know of every great net of her ministry, not only before It is done, but white there Is yet time to consider It. Her power in this respect was notably exerted In the negotiations between Great Britain and the United States growing out of "The Trent Af fair," ard she did much to modify tho tone of Lord Clarendon's dispatches, ana thus avert unnecessary causes of irrita tion. o Lord Palmerston, when he first becamo prime minister, was disposed to carrv things with a high hand and ignore his royal mistress, but the queen taught him that sho knew her rights nnd duties and Intended to maintain them. In a cele brated memorandum addressed to him In 1851, at tho time of the Napoleonic coup d'etat, she said: "The queen requires, first, that Lord Palmerston will dis tinctly state what he proposes In a given case. In order that the queen may know as distinctly to what she Is giving her royal sanction. Secondly, having once given her sanction to such a measure, that it bo not arbitrarily altered or modi fled by tho minister: such an act sho must consider as falling In sincerity toward the crown, nnd Justly to be visited by the ex crcip of her constitutional right of dis missing that minister. She expects to be kept Informed cf what passes between him and foreign ministers before Impor tant decisions are taken based upon that li'tercourse; to receve tho foreign dis patches In good time, nnd to have the drafts for her approval sent to her In suf ficient time to make herself acquainted with their contents before they must bo sent on." The queen was but 32 years old when she sanctioned If she did not pen this memorandum. It brought Lord Palmer ston to terms, and no prime minister since that day has ever acted In Important mat ters without first making full explana tions to the queen. The sovereign in a constitutional monarchy like Great Brit ain may exert Immense power and lnbu ence upon the policy of the government, nnd with Victoria it has almost always been a powar and an influence for good. WOMAN, 11EVEAL THYSELF. From tho Dutle (Mont.) Miner. Occasionally a gleam of intelligence penetrates tho discussion of the marriage question and a suggestion which com mands the respect of common sense comes from tho tumult and confusion of the controversial lunatics. In a recent ieiue of the New York World a number of com munications on the subject appeared, but the following seems to be most pertinent: "We poor women must live somehow. If wo keep ourcelves morally clean and try to flt ourselves to be good wives and mothers we are doing our best precisely as the boys aro In trying to leant trades or protections. Our trade Is to be good women, good, kynl, industrious wives, nnd good, loving mothers. If 'young men cannot'afford to marry us,' then we must leuin somo other trade. What do the young men prepese that It shall be? "Young Woman." The girl who wrote that letter should not hide her Identity. She has struck the right road. She says that the right kind of girls are trying to educate themselves to be "good women, good, loyal, Indus trious wives, and good, loving mothers." If that girl is in earnest, nnd If she is practicing what ehe preaches, by all means let her throw oft the cloak of se crecy, step out where she can bo seen and appreciated, and show the wild, uncontrol lable, new-fashioned, loud-talking, breech, es-wearlng, man-Imitating Amazonian freaks how the real woman, who alms for tho highest and noblest plane within the reach of the gentler sex, is admired nnd loved by men who nre able and will ing to maintain comfortable and Inviting homes. And yet'. If it should transpire that the letter which contains tho indefinite sig nature of "Young Woman" was written by .some degenerate, tobacco-chewing, knock-kr.eed mtrcullne writer on the New York World, what will tho wild waves say? The sentiments are beautiful, but It Is necessary that the young woman should give her name to tho public In or der that she may be appreciated. PEAKY'S I'OLAH JAUNT. From the Washington, Post. We predict that Peary will ' discover nothing of value to science or humanity. lWI may bring back some specimens whlsh ho can use to advantage In his lec ture tour. Jle may likewise bring back the members of his party if he Is lucky and If the relief nnd rescue expedition starts In time. Hut he will add nothing to the sum of human knowledge.
