The Day We Celebrate.
Yhf suRRcstlon hast been offered, mid
It seems to us nn appropriate one, that
' Americans, while rommemorntlnR the
one hundti'd and twcnty-llrst anniver
sary of their own Independence, slve
heed to the strupftlc for n similar free
dom which Is nuw In progress In Culm.
Let us look at this struggle with ev
ery wish to be fair. Let us concede
that It lias not been ti contest of op
posing columns, drawn up In conven
tional battle nrruy; that Its progress
on the other hand, has been marked
by many, Irregularities and some bar
barities on both side's, the nnUtrnl In
cidents of a guerrilla war; nnd that
there is some reuson to doubt whether,
should they gain their Independence,
the Insurgent Cubans would at first
know how to us It.
To he Jus, wo mui-t likewise consider
the Inequalities of thd combat nnd tho
causes of tho unp'rerarednesa of
the Cuban peopla for the respon
sibllltlefc of self-government. When
our own revolution broke out,
the patriots who formed Its nuiiiiMny
were well schooled Iri the principle
of republican government and had had
more thnn two centuries of experience
In the nrt of taking care of them
selves. They had had the benefits of
n ery general education both of mind
and morals: nnd the pioneer conditions
of their situation In the new world
had ingrained Into their natures n
granite-like self-reliance. Hut turning
to Cuba we perceive a people who for
nlmost fulir centuries have bpen kept
in literal bondage a people of whom
only a small percentage has had the
luxury of ar. education; a people whose
clergy upon tho whole have been Il
liberal If not licentious; n people wlio.ae
knowledge of government has been de
rived through its injustice, Its perfidy
nnd Its prolonged and horrible cor
ruption. That they have at last revolt
ed from such a tyranny commends
them to our admiration; and that they
nre as yet poorly qualified to assume
tlie power they seek should augment,
rather than decrease, the volume of
our sympathy.
Taken as a whole, the odds In our
Revolution were In point of numbers
but slightly In lavor of our oppressors;
nevertheless it required the aid of
France to effect the final discomfiture
of the Hrltlsh. We fought them on
land and on sea, having a battle field
on which to move the size of twenty
Culms, yet today SO.000 Cubans, with
the crudest ideas of discipline and
the poorest possible equipment, with
out a navy and confined to the moun
tain fastnesses of an area not as large
ns the commonwealth or Pennsylvania,
are holding at bay r0,000 of tlie picked
soldiery of Spain, and have done this
for more than two years. In their crude
way they have established a govern
ment, ordained a constitution, chosen
a president, cabinet and subordinates,
nnd Installed a postal and revenue
system, nnd though we are told by the
college professors that to make a flaw
less case of belligerency they must
capture and hold a seaport, we think
It Is proof of n mighty tine quality of
belligerency that they have been en
abled, against such odds, to keep their
heads and bodies joined.
Is it not one . of tlie corollaries of
the Declaration of Independence that
the pioneer experiment In popular gov
ernment should do what Is properly
within Its power in aid of other peo
ples striving to gain their libeiallon?
Ought we not to learn in the example
of Franco a duly of our own to suf
fering Cuba? lb it not time for Amer
ican patriotism, gaining the courage
of Its selfish Interests no less than its
convictions, to say In imperious voice'
to Spain: "The knoll of tyranny in this
hemisphere, struck by the founders of
tho American republic, sounds now for
Cuba, and decrees l(s release?"
That Irrepressible reformer, tlie Hon.
K. A. Van Vnlkenberg. of Tioga, captain-general
of the Seventy-six and
chairman of the Hurrisburg committee
on trouble, merits the congratulations
of the press. He has made a long leg
islative session as interesting ns a
dime hovel.

Two Interesting Striken.
It is agreeable to read. In the same
rolumns which tell of the roollsh strike
just Inaugurated among the bitumin
ous coal miners, that tho Idleness
cuused locally by tho recent strike of
steel workers is about to terminate, and
that tomorrow both mills of the Laeka
wanna Iron and Steel company will
resume, operations for an Indefinite
time. Concerning the wage scalu which
formed the bono of this brief local
contontlon wo have nothing to say,
for the reason that we arn not In a pos
ition to give unintelligent Judgment;
but It needs no technical knowledge
of the sletd business to perceive that
when tho dissatisfaction, of a fov men
causes hundreds to lose employment
v howunt to work and need tho wagesof
WOTt to work and need the wages of
tlict work, thero Is furnished a situa
te in whose prospective termination
oho publio has abundant reason to re
joice. As for the strike now on among the
poft coal minors, while It may, If pro
longed, bring temporary benefit to the
anthracite Industry, wo nre unable for
this reason to view It vth enthusiasm.
The Inadequacy of the wage schedules
nt present oCtalntng In the bituminous
fields Is not open to dispute, but there
Is large rooom for discussion as to
whether the strikers, even should thoy
eventually exact the concessions for
which they contend, would emerge In
nn economlo sense the winners by tho
transaction. The history of earlier
strikes In tho same Industry Is not pro
phetic of a very substantial victory;
nnd In the event of tho strike's failure,
the men engaged In It would not only
'have lost their own wages during tho
period of Its contlnunnce but also
would have succeeded In throwing
thousands of other workmen out of em
ployment nt the very time of all times
when It wns most essential that the
convalescent business Interests of the
country Bhould have nn unobstructed
ruadway to recovery.
In n certain grim sense these re
currences of the strike spirit are pro
phetic of better times. Men do not
strike when In the trough of hard
times. They strike only when the boat
falls or when It proceeds to rise again.
The present strike la n movement
aimed to take advantage of the Im
proving trend of business, but the
country will bo fortunate if it shall
not have the effect to halt Improve
ment and force the business world Into
a relapse.
President Andrews, of Drown unlver
rlty, returns from Kurope convinced
that international bimetallism Is both
practicable and near at hand. It would
be n rare Joke on the trustee' of Brown
If his roseate predictions should be re
alized. . Why tlte Eajjle Screams.
During the recent Jubllc; celebration
the papeis contained many statistical
comparisons between the records of
Knglund nnd the United States with
in the past sixty years, and some of
them were noticed In these columns,
btu we otter no apology for recurring
once more to this appropriate theme
a: this time of Yankee Jubllntion.
The economical progress of England
during the present reign has been sum
marized by Mr. Mulhall In a table
representing conditions In 1837-40 by
100. and those of the present time by
p.oportlonate additions to thnt base,
tie nlso gives the figures for the Inter
11 cdlate year 1S70, which serves the
purpose of mnking the progress of
tlxty years more easily apprehended,
and of showing how the progress of
twenty-fcuven years, In the early part
of which period those measures were
taken which the silver men are con
vinced presage universal ruin, com
pales with tho progress of the previous
thirty-three years. To supplement this
interesting table wo will give the cor
responding figures, and many others,
for the United States, for which we ac

There are few judges anywhere in
this country whose opinions carry
greater weight among the well-informed
than do those of Hon. J. B, Mc
Pherson. When, therefore, this nble
and conscientious Jurist, addressing
the Pennsylvania Bar association,
pronounces tho Superior court of Penn
sylvania n successful experiment, tho
testimony becomes a compliment
wortli having.
The WroiiR Way.
neprcssntntlvp Crumpacker of Indi
ana has Ideas of his own on the ques
tion of icriltorlal expansion. Ho has
Introduced In congress a resolution for
the submission of an admentment to
tho constitution providing that no non
contiguous territory shall be nnnnexeil
to tho United States except In pursu
ance of a treaty negotiated by the
president, ratlllvd by n two-thirds ma
jority of belli branches of congress,
the house to voto two years later than
the senate, and confirmed by the leg
islatures of three-fourths of the states.
It Is probable that (Jjio gentleman from
Iii1Iniii overestimates the danger of
our tendency to goVrut to tsea for now
dominion. The cn&a of Hawaii Is ex
ceptional. -ItVttlM -that of Cuba aro
tho only ones likely to arise during the
lifetime of tho present generation.
If It be desirable to havo nn expres
sion of popular opinion on the question
of annexation, why not provldo for a
direct ono by the people? An amend
ment Introducing tho referendum In
sunk contingencies and calling for a
poll of the country Ht tho next enaulnr
genet al ebctlon would be In Ueoplnv
with the character of our Institutions.
Concerning no subject ought the voice
of the majority to bo more desirable
us giving sanction to representatives
In power lhr.11 concerning the taking of
new terrltdry nnd new population Into
the national fold. Though not prob
nble, It lo conceivable that congresses
and state legislatures might be Im
properly Influenced to vote In favor
of annexation schemes worc tho In
ducements offered made sufficiently
templing; but It Is scarcely to be be
lieved under any circumstances that n
majority could thus bo obtained at a
papular election In favor of nn essen
tially unpapular territorial grab.
Coining to the particular proposition
which doubtless prompted the Crum
packer resolution, wo confess that we
have n lively cutloslty to know how a
popular voto upon tho admission of
Hawaii as a territorial colony would
stand. Wo believe, however, that tho
nfllrmatlve of this proposition would
carry overwhelmingly.
For n good Fourth-of-July lesson In
the unselfishness of true patriotism we
commend the following statement of
Dr. W. II. Danforth, the American
physician who volunteered In behalf
of Cuba: "Tho officers and privates
get nothing whatever for the services
In the army, and the privations whlcli
they have to endure are sufllclent to
make the strongest man quail. The
food Is lnsufliclent and varies not a
particle except that what there Is may
be more abundant at sometimes than
at others. Bread and coffee we never
get, nnd only nt rare Intervals do wo
obtain potatoes. For five months I
lived on meat alone, and when I re
turned to this country was 111 for sev
eral days on account of the inability
of my system to take care of the food
which I had eaten, nnd that too of the
pinkies', sort." How many of our
spread-eagle eulogists of liberty would
submit to such privations In liberty's
cause?
It Is no doubt true thnt the salaries
paid to the common pleas judges in
Pennsylvania are much smaller, upon
the whole, than In other wealthy and
populous stntes, and far below a just
recompense for the ability, character
and knowledge required of those
Judges. At the same time the State
Par association acted prudently In de
clining at this lime to begin an agita
tion for a re-ratlng. In proportion to
other incomes Just at present judicial
salaries are by no means contemptible.
The San Francisco official who caused
the arrest of two adulterous elopers as
a publjc example should carry the les
son one step furthe- by causing the
offendets to be fumigated, horse
whipped and forced to endure each
other's society the remainder of their
lives. That would be a punishment
commensurate with tho crime.
Tho little English torpedo-boat, Tur
binla, whose screws are rotated by es
caping steam, continues to astonish the
experts across the water, her latest
speed achievement being forty miles an
hour. If Inventor Parsons can only
adapt the turbine principle to the big
trans-atlantic liners, his fortune and
reputation will be made.
In more than two-thirds of the terri
tory of France people are dying more
rapidly than other people are being
born. It Is argued that If this propor
tion Isn't soon reversed the French re
public will begin to deteriorate. In
morals It would seem to have deterior
ated already.
It Is well to remember during the
celebration of this day that the best
patriotism Is unselfish, and that not
always the kind which makes the big
gest noise is the safest and most to be
prized.
Tho American public has heard the
last of the proposed tax on tea. Tlie
poor man's breakfast table is again
unmenaced.
Gossip at
the Capital
Special Correspondence of The Tilbimc.
Washington, July 1.
Now that the senate changes In the tar
iff bill are completed, It is practicable) to
form a pretty clcse estimate of the pros
pective earnings of that measure when it
goes upon tho statute books. Of course
the confereuco will make somo further
changes but It Is not expected that they
will bs of such character as to materially
affect the Income of the government from
the bill when It becomes a law.
"I think we may assume," said Chair
man Dlugley, of the ways and means
committee, talking upon the subject,
"that the new law will, after the enor
mous stock of foreign goods now on
hantl has been absorbed, produce suf
ficient revenue comfortably to meet tho
expenses of the government."
"You do not suppose, then, that It will
meet the running expenses In the first
few months of Its operation?"
"It will he scarcely rcauonable to ex
pect that It will. As everybody knows,
there Is more than a year's supply of for
eign wool in tho country. Hy some It is
estimated that there Is two years' supply.
There is probably nearly or quite a year's
supply of sugar on hand; there Is a largo
supply of woolen goods and many months'
supply of tobacco, to say nothing of tho
hundreds of otrer articles which huve
been brought In, In excess of tho usual
demands and of the immediate require,
lr.ents. So I shall not be surprised If the
law fails to product) enough to meet run
ning expenses during the first few months
of Its work. Indeed, it would be surpris
ing It It should do ho."
"This probable shortage of revenues
In tlie llrst few months under the now
law will be due, however, to tho excessive
Importations of the past few months, .Mr.
Dlngley?"
"Bntlrely so. I havo no doubt that the
b'll Is ample in Its provision for revenue
under ordinary circumstances and that
as soon as the largo stock of foreign
goods now in tho country Is absorbed and
tho usual demand begins again, the reve
nue will be umple. Of course I do not yet
Know what the hill will bo exactly, for
thero are. many points In which the houso
and tho senate mc. still In disagree
ment und there will probably ho
coneefMon on both sides, thoujjh 1
still hopa and believe that on Im
portant matters tha houo rates will
stand. Whatever change may lie made,
however, at botween the houm and the
senate bills, will not bo sufficient Berl
ounly lo affect the question of total reve.
lilies and 1 believe that tho law, when it
la at work normally and conditions are
normal, will supply ample jcvenue nnd In
a wuy very satisfactory to tho people,"
Other members of tlie house and senate
agree with Mr. Dingley 'upon this gen
eral proposition. Senator Aldrlch, who has
Just returned to the city and is able to
returns the Consideration of the new tur
iff measure, ha. exprtpucd himself to his
friends as confident" that the bill, even In
its present form, would bo productive of
sufllclent revenuo to meet tho necessary
expenditures of tho government after
tho supply or foreign goods now on hand,
upon which duties havo already been
paid, Is exhausted. Congressman Dolll
er, member of the ways and means com
mittee, also expresses the samo opinion.
"1 believe, said he, "tint the new law
will produce sufllclent revenue ail soon as
Importations lesune their uiual course.
The fact that thero is In tho country a
year's supply of such Important revenue
producing nrtlces as wool, sugar, to
bacco, woolen goods nnd other articles of
this kind, will, of course, reduco very
much the Importations during tho next
few months nnd consequently niako tho
receipts under tho new law light after
several months. Hut tho people, I think,
understand this fully and will not ex
pect anything clso In view of the fact
that tho Importers have been permitted
to fill up the warehouses and country
generally with foreign goods beforo tho
new law and people are ablo to buy and
when tho stock now on hand Is worked
off, I havo no doubt that the new meas
ure will produce nmple revenue and un
til that time the people will understand
that any deficiency In Its earnings Is due
to tho enormous stock of goods which
have already been brought In and upon
which tho duties have all been collected
and turned Into the treasury."
It may be added, In substantiation of the
views of Chairman Dlngley and Ilepre
sentattvu Dolllver, that tariff experts who
havo been following tho work of tho sen
ate very closely estimate that the bill us
It now stands will produco a revenue
slightly In excess of that estimated for ths
bill when It left the house, and us It is
probablo that tho rates will be some
what Increased In conference, they look
with confidence upon the bill as a rcvo
nun producer ur.der normal conditions.
This fact thft an untmial quantity of
foreign goods has been rushed Into tho
country slnco congress was called to
gether to pass a new tariff bill Is well
known, but It may not be uninteresting,
In view of tho fact, that the bill Is likely
soon to become a law and that Its sup
porters admit that Its llrst fuw months
of operation will bo seriously emb.ir
ratsed by the extraordinary recent Impor
tations, to Indicate somewhat In detail
what theso excessive Impoi tatlons havo
amount3d to. Tho following tables show
the Importations during thn past four
months on wool and sugar nnd also the
total Importation! during the same pe
riod; the figures for the fopr months In
question aro compared with those of the
corresponding months of the preceding
year, which will indicate the excessive
Importations since the inauguration of
tho present administration and their pros
pective effect upen the revenue when tho
new law goes into effect:

Judge Hemphill, of Chester county,
Pennsylvania, has laid down n rule In his
court that "all applicants for naturaliza
tion must first show as a condition to the
grant of their application that they can
read or understand English." It does not
seem to us unreasonable or oppressive to
demand, as a condition, precedent to na
turalization, that the applicant shall show
that he can "read or understand" the
English language. It is, of course, con
ceded thnt ignornnce of our lnnguage is
not proof of Intellectual Inferiority or
lack of education. One might possess tho
best natural gifts and vast and varied
learning without knowing a word of
English. There are many Intelligent mea
now In the United States some of them
men of means nnd enterprise who have
not deemed It necessary to learn to read
cr speak the language of the country. But
we hoM, nevertheless, that any alien de
siring to bo enrolled as one of the sov
ereigns of this republic should be ablo
at least to understand English and to em
ploy It In speech. Any other country
whose government Is based on the ballot
may reasonably and properly require a
tlmilar qualification for full-ftedged citi
