In Its report of the South Sldo ex
plosion yeBtorctay The Trlbuno nt;nln
gave a demonstration of the excellence
of Its facilities for collecting and pub
lishing the news. Although a morning
contemporary was represented on the
scene of the disaster by four reporters
and a stenographer. Its report when
cofiipmcd with The Tribune's was mea
gre. Incidents like these tell the story
of superiority.
Undeserved Criticism.
The principal speaker at a mass
meeting -f Cuban sympathizers held
In Washington the other day was Sen
ator Daniel of Virginia, and the great
er portion of his speech was devoted
to an arraignment of the McKlnley
administration for Its alleged tardi
ness In moving to the relief of Cuba.
In the senator's Impatience with the
Spain we can Join, and we guess the
feeling is general In this country. Hut
Is It true that the administration has
been censuralily recreant in this mat
ter? What ara the facts?
Major McKlnley has boon president
less than four months. During that
time he has made most of his Import
ant selections for federal olllco; has
put congress to work upon a tariff bill
calculated to replenish the wasted rev
enues and contribute to a business re
vival; has got the various executive
departments down to a working basis
under Itei uhllcfui direction; has ehos
tn a commission to negotiate for In
ternational bimetallism; has drafted a
treaty providing for the annexation of
Hawaii and, notwithstanding the time
which these achievements have taken
plus the tremendous strain put upon
him and upon his cabinet advisers by
seekers after ofllce, has gone a good
ways towards a rolution of the Cuban
problem.
The first result of his accession to
the presidency, so far as our relations
with Spain .re concerned, took the
form ot a decided Increase of deferenco
on the part of the Spanish olllclals In
Cuba to credentials of American citi
zenship. General Lee had trouble bo
fore that time to get the Spaniards
to live up to the terms ol our treaties
with them; afterward, ho himself 13
on record with the testimony that this
trouble largely vanished. The second
ronrequence of McKlnley's succession
was shown In his unhesitating prof
fer of support to Consul General Lee,
who, under the Cleveland regime, had
been upon the point of resigning.
Later on wo had the president's mes
sage calling upon congress for money
to relievo Americans In distress In
Cuba. Still later came the appoint
ment of a special commissioner who
went to Cuba, studied the situation
there and has already returned. The
character of his report on the Ruiz
case 13 well known and presages vig
orous action by our government. What
he reported on the broader aspects of
the rebellion In Cuba is yet a state
secret; but the fact that Immediately
aiterward the president picked out a
peculiarly well equipped and trust
worthy man for minister to Spain in
dicates that It was of vital Importance.
From sources worthy of trust It Is
learned that In these four busy months,
with all the cares of olTlee crowding
upon him as they Invariably crowd at
the outset of a president's term, Major
McKlnley has yet found time to ex
amine the Cuban problem thoroughly
and has reached the conclusion that
it Is the duty of the United States to
interfere In behalf of liberty and social
order. It is even said that the man
ner of that Interference has "been de
cided upon and will In due time bo
made plain. What nonsense, then, to
accuse him of Indifference. In what
wuy consistent with a wish to bo right
and solicitous for the continuance of
peace could he have acted differently?
He who5e cause Is Just does not need to
begin Its advocacy by bluster; ho can
await In patience the opportune time.
It will be noticed that Weyler's call
for more troops tallies nicely with the
Spanish argument that there Is no war
In Cuba.
Let Judge Gordon Act.
The report of the legislative com
mittee appointed to Investigate the
conduct of the Eastern penlteniiary
places upon Judge Gordon of Philadel
phia the duty of sustaining his serious
charges before a proper tribunal or
else of resigning from the bench In
disgrace. There Is no middle course
left to him.
It will bo remembered that the ac
cusations brought by him against tho
olllclals of this prison Included cruelty,
perjury, mismanagement and murder.
The commlttco says on this point:
"The Judge was sworn as a witness
and was fully heard before this com
mittee and all other persons designated
L by him as witnesses were subpoenaed
and heard ut length so far as their
presenco could be obtained', Including
all tho convicts and ex-convlcts des
ignated by him. AfTer a careful hear
ing and close examination of this
large body of testimony, as well as of
that adduced In denial or explanation
tjicrtof, and after personal examina
tion by the members of tho committee
of details and minutes of tho Eastern
penitentiary and Its management, In
cluding visits to many cells and tho
examination of numerous officers und
convicts, including all tho cases in the
prison that are now accessible, this
committee Is of the opinion, and so re
ports, that no just foundation what
ever has been shown for the charges
against tho Eastern penitentiary, its
system of confinement, its manage
ment, officers, discipline, dietary, or
the judicious humanity of Us gcueral
administration.
"The committee was Impressed with
tho fact, derived both from testimony
and observation, that no cleaner or
bettor kept public building can bo
found In this commonwealth. Tho
food Is abundant and In somo respects
too generous for men for whom reg
ular labor cannct bo supplied. Tho
warden and overseers appeared to bo
conscientious and humane, and their
kindly management was found to be
appreciated by a vast majority both
of convicts and cx-convlcts of whom
a 'large number woro privately exam
ined by this committee and Its mem
bers. No degrading or other punish
ment, except of the most trifling char
acter, Is ever allowed. No deadly wea
pons are permitted on tho premises,
One ordinary policeman's baton Is
privately kept at the head of each cor
ridor, und tho evidence shows that
there Is an average of about two cases
per year where these have to bo re
sorted to, generally for the purpose, ot
quelling fights between prisoners main
ly resulting from tho overcrowded con
dition of tho prison. The testimony
developed the remarkable fact that
during the history of the prison from
1S29 to tho present time not less than
six officers and overseers of tho Insti
tution were killed, but not a single
convict was ever killed or permanent
ly Injured by any of the ofllcers.
Every ofllcer and employe examined by
us personallly or as a sworn witness,
seemed to bo Interested In tho suc
cess of tho Institution as a reforming
agency, and wo are unable to discover
a single Instance of the use of force
that was wanton or unnecessary, or
that was not fully Justified by tho at
tendant circumstances."
If this Is a "whitewash" tho people
should know It. The committee went
none too far In saying that "a. judge
who descends from his scat on tho
bench to make sworn charges of such
gravity against public olllclals should
substantiate them." Unless he doe3
this tho recoil of public sentiment
upon himself must speedily force him
oft the bench.
Representative Coray appears to
have tho old-fogy Idea that tho state's
Pay roll should contain the names of
those only who do actual work for tho
state. It Is evident that Mr. Coray Is
behind tho times.
Strawberries and Suicide.
It has remained for a gioup of lynx
eyed savants connected with the gov
ernment service at Washington to de
tect the source of the annual tendency
toward suicide which Is revealed in
this country every spring from April
to June. Readers of the newspapers
do not require to be told that tho per
iod mentioned Is n period when tho
columns devoted to suicides and homi
cides swell out to striking proportions.
This Is true every year, but It has been
especially noticeable this year, when
the epidemic has assumed quite un
parallel virulence. What, then, Is
tli'o fell cause? Let the Washington
Post explain:
Stra.vbcrries begin to ilpon and appear
upon tho markets about tho time tho epi
demic of culclilet boKfns. This was tho
main point that influenced tho gentlemen
to bellovo that (hero was home connec
tion between sulc'.ile and tho fruit. Now,
another point that In ItNelf Is almost con
elusive proof that there Is a connection
between two Is tho strange effect a bowl
of strawberries l:as upon the person who
eats them. It will bo u. great surprlso to
many persons to fst this, and if ono will
just recall tho last time that he ato a
quantity of strawberries ho will bo sur
prised' to remember that he experienced
first a fe.-llng of oxhilnratlon. followed by
a depression that eloely bordered on mel
nncholla, and that sometimes tho depres
sion came without the feeling of exhilara
tion. Theso rro the facts, and can bo
tested by 'inv ono who has tho mind. Tne
effect upon somo persons la not nearly so
great nor acute as upen persons of a more
sensitive nature, but, Uko electricity, it
may bo felt by all. The strawberry has
lately been receiving tho attention of phy
sicians, GClPiitlsts and chemists, and Its
effect upon tho uloort Is clearly demon
strated when eaten by persons who aro
subject to hives or skin eruptions, lor
they will Immediately break out und suf
fer acutely as long as they eontinuo to eat
tho fruit. The effect Is almost Instan
taneous, and shows tho notion of somo
powerful quantity, probably unknown. In
tho composition ot the fruit, which Is,
perhaps, ns strong and deadly as morphli
or cocaine Tho Investigation of tho fruit
has not been pursued to any groat extent,
hut It has sntlslleil many physicians and
chemists that It Is poisonous and should
not bo eaten at all.
It occurs to ut that nn even creator
source of mischief has been overlooked
In this explanation. Wo refer to the
cucumber. The cucumber nppears In
the market at about tho same time
that tho strawberry does. If you will
take a fresh cucumber and eat It hur
riedly you can also detect ominous
symptoms. At first they are faint, flut
tering and far-away; but soon they
gather momentum, und If the collater
al conditions ure favorable, It Is not
long until they develop a veritable
mania. That while In this paroxysm
of remorse the cucumber fiend should
be filled with a mad thirst for gore
Is most natural. History gives a fam
ous Instance in proof. General Horace
Porter In his Century recollections of
Grant says that on the morning ot
the third day's battlo in the Wilder
ness tho Union commander breakfast
ed on sliced cucumbers and coffee.
Everybody knows how much Wood was
spilled that day.
No, the strawberry Isn't alono to
blame. Tho cucumber surely Is par
tlceps crimlnls. And so may be tho
premature apple, the unripe cherry and
the other stomach-wrecking green
goods with which the rustic confldenco
men bunco the urban public In tho
merry daya of spring.
That yesterday morning's explosion,
If tho work of malice, needs to be
traced to Its author and that author
punished goes without saying. Wo
know of no crime In tho calendar
comparable with the venting of a pri
vate grudge In a manner monaelng to
Innocent persons. It Is had enough
to have to read of tho dynamiting of
trains In Cuba; but when It comes to
blowing up houses In tho heart of a
peaceful city the news acquires a
forcefulness not to botolerated. The
pollco of Scranton have In this strange
casa a signal opportunity to distinguish
themselves. ,
A visit to Nay Aug park at this
time of year will show the need of a
comprehensive oj-stem of park Im
provement better than any printed
words. With the small means alloted
to them the commissioners- have cer
tainly wrought wonders In the way of
clearing up debris, establishing. play
grounds and laying out paths. Tho
city has probably never received hotter
value for Its money than It Is getting
from tho trifling Investment It Is mak
ing nt this time In this park. At tho
same lime what has been done simply
sharpens tho public 'appetite for more
genotous park development. The hun
dreds of families to whom Nay Aug
Is already n benefaction will earnestly
support any reasonable proposition to
Increase Its beauty and usefulness.
' ,
It Is tho opinion of Professor Peck,
of Columbia university, that too much
learning among tho mnsses Is n dan
gerous thing. Tho professor Is frank,
and In some respects ho Is also light.
It nil depends upon what wo moan by
learning. Tho kind which creates
dissatisfaction with social conditions,
which values things chiefly accord
ing to the dollar standard and there
fore makes for envy, turbulence, social
ism anc! disregard of conscience, cor
talnly Is danserous. But If this Is
the kind now most prevalent It Is tho
fault of the Instructors, and Instead
ot ceacing to teach at nil thev should
strive to teach In a more ratloml way.
It Is possible to bo both well-Informed
and happy. Whenever a system cf
fchelastle training tends to make
these two conditions 1 ncompatlble
rest assured that It Is rotten ut the
coic.
There Is manifest Justice In the claim
of Cornell that Yale and Harvard must
hereafter eat humble pie In tho mat
ter of boat-racing, or, In other words,
must cense to be so Idiotically exclu
sive as they have tried to be in the
past. Tho proper thing to do next
season Is to often the shell contest to
all the colleges and let tho best crew
win.
Senator Quay has taken the pains to
deny In writing that he has any wish
to bo a candidate for governor. Hl3
denial will not leave the ofllce with
out aspirants.
The story now go6s that tho An
drews "Lexow" expense bill will not
bo presented. This, If truo, will spare
Governor Hastings' veto axe one extra
stroke.
Bri?f Words of
Casiial Mention
Ono of the most serious features re
garding tho recent catastrophe on tho
South tilde 13 the fact that the story of the
dynamiting of tho Polish saloon will' bo
heralded about the land, painted In Blow
ings tints, and Scrnnton will receive an
other free advertisement as the homo of
tho dynamito flci'd. Just ns tho city Is
beginning to enjoy tho fruits of having
lived down the odium occasioned by tales
of Moll!e Mngulielsm, mine cave-Ins und
wild animals, this new terror springs up,
and Scranton, which Is tho healthiest and
about tho safest city of its sl-e on tho
globe, will receive additional advertising
as tho locality of high explosives. In past
the stories of mine caves, It Is said, have
hud such an effect on outside capitalists
that few could be Induced to loan money
or invest In real estate In the city for fear
that tho property might sink out of slgnt
somo evening and leave nothing but a
bottomless pit In its place. Nothing could
bo more absurd than the ideas that aro
entertained In regard to mlno cave-Ins In
Scranton Ideas that have been formed
from lurid press reports that have been
sent to tho city papers. It Is well known
that owing to tho formation of tho Lack
awanna valley coal veins, a slight set
tling of tho earth is usually the only In
dication of a mine cave-In. IJut tho av
erago visitor who has mado no study of
mlno caves generally labors under tho
Impression that It is dangerous for a man
not provided with wings to walk on our
streets at any time. And tho tales of
murder and robbery that are always lo
cated at Scranton If the crimes are com
mitted anywhere between Nineveh and
Nantlcoko aro enough to curdle the blooJ
of the ordinary mini. It is to bo regretted
thereforo that dynamite is to be added
to tho list of terrors that make timid peo
plo all over tho world shudder at tho
namoof Scranton.
Hon. James T. Oullols, who has been
selected by President McKlnley to repre
sent the United States government as
consul-general In Switzerland, Is among
tho most talented and popular Republi
cans of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Mr.
DuEols, tlough still a young man, has
distinguished himself as a Journalist and
diplomat. He served tho government with
honor und distinction as United States
consul to Alx-la-Chapelle, France, and the
recognition of his ability and Integrity by
tho present administration, In naming
him for the responsible position of consul,
general to Switzerland, ono of tho high
est places within tho gift of tho presi
dent, will meet the hearty npprovul of
his many friends and admirers. Al
though spending a greater portion of his
time In Washington, Mr. DuHois has per
haps dono more than nny other one man
In contributing to tho growth of his homo
town, Hallstead, one of the most pros
perous boroughs in the northern tier. His
park In tho suburbs of Hallstead, known
ns (Mount Manotonomee "tho mountain
of beautiful prospects" comprises 700
acres, rapidly being developed Into ono
of the most attractive spots In the country.
Mr. DuRoIh Is a lite-long and unswerving
Republican and has always been the
champion of purity in politics. Ho is a
man of pleasing personality and possesses
sterling qualities that eminently lit him
for tho trust that has been confided to his
caro by tho new administration.
Tho razing of the old Wyoming hotel has
madeplalu to tho public at large, what has
long been known to a few, viz., the fuct
that tho old building was a verltablo tro
trap, constructed upon plans that Bhould
have condemned it long ago. It Is evi
dent that had the building been visited by
flro at night under ordinary circum
stances tho results would probably have
been appalling. Now that the situation is
known, It Is said that for many years
It has been whispered that no Scranton
fireman would ever venture In tho Wyo
ming Houso In case the building should
become Ignited, I wonder If there nro
other bulldirgs of this class in tho city?
If so It Is timo that the public was mada
aware of the fact.
I am glad to observe that ben:hes have

ENGLAND AND DEMOCRACY.
From tho Springfield Republican.
Tho great personal achievement of tho
queen Is that during theso sixty years
she has saved tho monarchical form of
government In Great Britain from that
collapse Into which It was freely predict
ed eur)y In tho century It would event
ually sink. Under Victoria, It Is com
monly ascrtcd, tho Institution of mon
archy has visibly been strengthened; at
least, propagandists for republican forms
uro no longer a political quantity worthy
of notice. This Is undoubtedly true, yet
true only In a peculiar sense. The mon
archical principle as a ruling force in
Great Rrltaln hnd sunk to Its nadir when
Victoria renched tho throne and nothing
was left save tho tinsel and tho" trappings
of the oM-thno royalty If under tho
sixty years' reign the monarchical form
has not lost prtstlgo In the affections of
tho people, It Is because the queen by her
personal virtues has made that form
worthy of respect and homage. Rut
again subject that Institution to tho strain
of a profligate king, and all that It has
recently gained would quickly bo swept
away,
o
Tho real development of tho Rrltlsh em
pire during these CO years has been In a
direction exactly opposlto from monarch
ical institutions. Now and then a Tory
writer, pointing to the personal affection
of tho people for the queen, declares that
democracy has been checked, and shouts
his Jubilee hotannahs over this new tri
umph of nrlstocracy. Rut how absurdj
Tho queen's jubilee is ut bottom a cele
bration of tho sixty years' vlotorlous
march of modern democracy, which save
In India, is everywhere dominant in tho
empire. Graciously tolerating tho ancient
garb of a defunct absolutism tho democ
racy of Greater Rrltaln has proved to bo
tho most progressive and radical In tho
world. At home, there Is n political and
religious freedom not Inferior to that of
any republic, even our own, while in a
number ot tho colonies government Is
conducted on a plan whoso radicalism
would shock the conservative people of
the United States.
o
The queen's reign Is worth reviewing
along this line. What substantial gain
can thero havo been for monarchy In
England when during these sixty years
universal suffrage has been granted;
when all government has come to be con
ducted substantially by a single popular
legislative chamber, to which the rul
ing ministry Is directly responsible; when
an Income tax unconstitutional In this
republic has been imposed, and when to
day a strong Tory government is enact
ing a socialistic law rendering compen
sation to workmen for nccldents7 In
Australia, tho purest In English blood ot
all tho colonies, tho advance toward so
cial democracy has been much more ex
traordinary than in tho mother land.
And whether we approve or not much
of tho legislation of those splendid states,
ono of tho most precious reforms in
American politics, tho secret Australian
ballot, is duo to their progressive in
stincts. South Australia has full adult
suffrage, for women as well as men, whllo
In New Zealand the women may vote,
but may not sit In parliament or become
cabinet ministers, as In tho other colony.
Now Zealand's labor laws would bo re
gatded by American manufacturers as
dangerously socialistic- and oppresslvo to
capitalistic freedom.
o
New Zealand also has a progressive in
como tax; a progressive land tax; nn ab
sentee tax (one In the United States
would hit such men ns William Waldorf
Astor); a radical system of state con
trol of the land and a successful syBtem
ot settling disputes between an Individ
ual and the state as to tho valuation ot
land for taxation by which the former,
if ho thinks the valuation too high, can
forco tho state to buy tho property. Re
side, New Zealand lends money on free
hold security In competition with private
money-lenders; It is tho chief national
Insurance company; and tho state also
lets small holdings of from -'0 to 50 acres
on perpetual lease to persons to whom
money Is advanced for all their earlier
expenses, with nothing but tho Improve
ments they effect us security. This ex
periment, says Sir Charles Dilke, in a
recent article, "has been absolutely suc
cessful." When we find experiments In radical
Ism, that would meet the most acrid op
position n republican United States,
flourishing In the Rrltlsh empire, without
the slightest hindrance from tho con
servative forces that huddlo around a
crown, It Is Impossible to say that true
monarchical Ideas havo gained ground
among the queen's subjects during her
memorable reign. Democracy was never
stronger under tho Rrltlsh flag than to
day, and nowhere else, not even In re
publican America, can It bo found devel
oped to so advanced a point as in somo
portions of that imperial realm. This tri
umph of democracy, while yet good-naturedly
and even lovlngly-yle'.dlng hcun
ago to the living embodiment of an in
stitution onco bitterly democracy's foe,
and now shorn of its power to stay de
mocracy's grand, forward march this
Is tho significance and the wonder of the
good queen's Jubilee.
