It sots an example for tho other honest members of the recent legislature, and they cannot bo too eager to get from under the odium. Well Chosen. Tho selection by tho president of Mr. I'owderly to be commissioner-general of immigration will afford much loral gratification to the appointee's neigh bors and friends, who will rejoice at the compliment involved In tho pro ferment; "but it will do moro than this. It will reas&ure the great body of American citizens who have long want ed at the head of the immigration bu reau a man of demonstrated loyalty to SAmorlcan tiadlllons and of inflexible devotion to the higher Interests of American citizenship. During Mr. Powdcrly's tenure of the of'lco to which he has Just been called we can feel at case on one very im portant point. The laws governing the restriction of immigration will be en forced fully, fairly and with intelligent eye upon the public welfare. And If It shall appear that In any detail the laws are inadequate or defective, there will be no uncertainty in tho language In wl.ich Mr. I'owderly Mill call upon con gress to correct them. A nomination so satisfactory In Its Indication of thoroughness In the work to be performed should receive prompt confirmation. Attorney Hawley has perfozmed a good scrIco courageoubly In exposing the attempt which wih made by James It. Dainty to influence Improperly his decision as a referee. For the sake of our courts on example must be made. -- Ncarlnjr the Finish. General gratification will be felt at the successful progress of the now tar iff bill beyond the 'as' porind of vit'U dancer. The substantl.il agreement of tho Republican conferees of the house and senate upon tho chief points of contention the wool and sugar sched-; ules renders purely formal the re mainder of tho proceedings in confer ence, and Insures the bill's advance ment to tho executive within the pres ent week. In the one place where political dy namite lay concealed numely, In the sugar schedule the victory Is with the people and the sugar trust, notwith standing Its formidable strength In the senate, receives the mo3t pro nounced defeat of Its career. It Is given out with some show of gusto by organs of the trust that the tchedule as finally agreed upon is it compro mise; but It is a compromise in which the hoube captures the kernel and the senate gets only tho shell. On their main contention the oilglnal framers of the new truifC bill win, and the te crennt senators who dlstoitod that measure In commltte stand not only robbed of their hoped-for advantages liut also discredited before the party and the public. Already business is reflecting the brightening prospects for a federal revenue system which shall provide In come sufficient for the expenses of the government without malicious pros tration of home Industries; and with the details of the new bill now prac tically fixed, there is reason for the expectation that improvement will con tinue in accelerated strides. If tho belligerent Spaniards who threaten to bombard Key West will slake their thirst for gore in the blood of the news fakers nt that point the 'American public will be disposed to tender them carte blanche. One Old Sore Healed. Sometime ago it was announced that the unexpected retention of the Amer ican cruiser Brooklyn In English waters on July S had given our naval authori ties uneasiness for a peculiar reason. Under the United States naval regula tions every American warship on In dependence Day, no matter where it may chance to be, must fire a salute of 21 guns. Custom requires the ships and forts at a foreign port to respond to such a salute when offered In the same haibor. In the republic's early days this would have put upon the English people the awkward necessity of helping to commemorate their own military humiliation, and to avoid cm "barrassment In tho period when York lown still rankled in the British mind, the practice was Introduced in our navy to detain' no Yankee ship in a. I-hltlsh port on that day. Preparations had accordingly been made for the Brooklyn to leave South ampton on July 2 when sudden news was received of the illness followed by tho death of Admiral Miller's daugh ter. This kept the Brooklyn in port-. for several days. Sho reached New York on Saturday and the Sun in speaking of the incident says: "Tho Brooklyn, however, beetned to be oa welcome at Southampton on tho Fcfurtli as she had been at Splthead, and as her ofllcers nnd men had been every where during tho Jubilee. Thero was only one British warship in tho harbor of Southampton, tlm cruiser Medea, and sho dressed ship at sunrise, and remained so all day, saluting with twenty-one guns at noon, Just ub the Brooklyn did. Tho Brooklyn's officers believe that had the cruiser remained nt Rplthead the wholo assembled fleet would liavo saluted. Officers of the admiral's staff remark upon tho par ticular desire of the English, every where manifested during tho Jublloo celebrations, to honor them as Amerl canr, treat them in the best way they ' knew how, and make friends with them. That the Fourth of July com pliment of the Medea wan not whfclly duo to Jublleo enthusiasm Is shown by ft prior experience of an officer now -i the Brooklyn who was at Alexan- ilria before tho bombardment. Tho uonibardmont was begun on July 11, but on July -1 all tho ships thero saluted In honor of tho American ship." In spite of the friction which wo ap pear to be fatal continuously to havo with the diplomatic part of her maj esty's government, Americans, we Im agine, will appreciate this little cour tesy and hold it in grateful remem brance. Wo could not have complained had tho Medea remained mute after the rtrooklyn's penl of 21 guns in cele bration of Great Ilrltnln's worst dis comfiture In modern hlBtory; but tho fact that tho old sorencps over this once scntltlvn point bus disappeared will certainly prove welcome news. And after all, a right interpretation of the event commemorated by tho Uroolc lyn's blazing guns distributes the bene fits as freely among Englishmen them selves as among their kinsmen on this side of the blue. There Is a good deal of truth In tho assertion that if a Philadelphia regi ment weip to come homo from camp b-viiing tho honors which the Thir teenth wins year after year, the citi zens of that appreciative city would testify to their admiration by building for it the flncrt nrmory in the state. Scranton has an adequate armory on paper. Isn't It time to try to put it into brick and stone? That Controllership Law. Tho remnrknble powers to which the controller of Luzerne county lays cla'm under the Kline act Intermittently ;t tiact public attention. One of the lit tst Instances has to do with tho fl Ing of prisoners In the Wllkes-Birre jfill Tim warden is under contract with the board of prison commission e'R to feel th county's penal rha-ges at 20 cents a do. Controller Iiloyd, by prccestcs of his own. arrives at the belief that 7y', cents' worth of fcod a day Is all that these Jail birds should got apiece. Therefore, he l of uses to allow tho warden's bills on the 30-cent basis and declares that to get his sig nature the food bills must be whittled down to the "Vi-cent basis. This forces tho warden to go jnto court for an authoritative definition of tho con troller's powers, making the second o" third appeal of this kind within as many months. The necessity for an early adjudica tion of these various points at Issue is strongly hinted at in tho Pittston Gazette, which In referring to the "Vi-cont-per-day notion of the controller Is moved to note the possibility that men "might be kept alive on such food, but if the owner of a good sized dog were to limit him to such a diet we fear that such owner would be In dan ger of arrest by the society for the prevention of cruelty to animals. Be this as It may, however, the question before the court is whether or not the county controller may set aside a con tract made by the lawfully authorized officers of the county and arbitrarily fix a price for bervlces that have been rendered In accordance with such con tract; and every man who has deal ings with the county, or who may have, should be Interested In the early decision of this question." "In county affairs," the Gazette continues, "the controller Is but one of many executive officers whose duties are distinct, and when a county controller takes the position that he Is warranted In over ruling and sotting aside theofllclal act3 of not only all other county officers, but tho judges upon tho bench, wo hold that it is time to determine just what the legal functions of Luzerne's coun ty controller are, under the essentially special statute In force In two counties of the state relating to tho office; and If tho courts say Mr. Lloyd Is correct In the claims ho makes, and the people think It is a good thing to perpetuate, why let us have the law made general, extending Its provisions to every coun ty In the state and then dispose of all other county offices." With due respect to our esteemed Pittston contemporary we must demur to its suggestion that this law be made general, If its Interpretation by tho Luzerne controller bo tho correct one, Whatever the veiblage of the law may bo wo do not believe that It was the Intent of Its framers or that It Is the will of the people that one man should havo supreme authority over the reg ulation of bills and contracts for tho entire government of a county. To put such power within the prerogative of the controller would be to offer un exampled invitation to Its corrupt and despotic use nnd would end by making of its occupant either the prize scalla wag or tho premier boss in his baltl. wick. Neither idea accords with th traditions of good county government. Tho Kentucky Judge who freed tho murderer of his wife's seducer under the unwritten law which allows a man to protect his home will probably bo condemned by fussy folk; yet the de cision was manifestly just, nnd human custom has from time immemoilal sanctioned It. To expect a wronged husband to seek redress for such an Injury as was Involved in the Kentucky case in tho halting and inadequate processes of a modern court Is to ex pect the Incredible. No man worthy of tho name would await such a tri bunal, and no state of civilization which leaves to mankind a modicum of manliness will expect him to. Wo may pretend otherwise but it will bo only pretence The report of Major Symons of tho Engineer corps upon tho proposed ship canal from Buffalo or some other lako port to tho Atlantic ocean offers no encouragement to that much mooted project but suggests that If tho Erlu canal were Improved to admit 1500-ton barges tho result would bo cheaper freight rates than if there were a deep water ship canal. Wo think wo seo the railroad lobby at Washington or Al bany permitting the Erio canal to bo thus improved. In tho eyes of tho London Post, "every indication points to the certain ty that Great Britain will bo compelled to fight for her existence against tho United States ns soon as the American government believes that war can bo safely begun." This will bo tearful news to Tommy Bayard. Oovcrnor Hastings Is showing1 these days that while he is not anxious to foment troublo h proposes to do Ma duty, and ho Is doing this with the wholesome vigor that comes from a lino physique, good digestion, plenty of nerve and no end of skill in spotting "strikes" nnd Jobs. If tho governor Is not pleasing tho "boys" there Is conso lation In the fact that he Is earning tho lasting gratltudo of tho people, Tho New York Sun's plan of currency reform hns at least tho merit of sim plicity. It conslFts of (t) making rev enues equal to expenses; nnd (2) pro viding by law that greenbacks re deemed with gold shall be held In a fund by themselves and re-lsucd only In exchange for gold. Such a plan would eliminate the danger of the end loss chair, and that Is all about that ser.islblo men require Just now. If It Is true that Secretary Sherman has cut Mrs. Ruiz's Indemnity claim In two, 3paln ought to take prompt advantage of bargain day and pay up, Thero may bo some costs of collec tion added If she tries to bo flossy. Tho value of Canada to Great Britain consisting of what Englishmen can make out of It, why should not tho Canadian people save this tax on their industry by setting up on their Inde pendent account? It Is noticeable that the impetuous ardor of Frank Willing Leach as nn anti-Quay reformer does not cause general business to suspend. - . Those new gold discoveries In Alaska offer another hard whack to Mr. Bry an's pet theory about tho insufficiency of the gold supply. The Anthracite Odflook Bright From tho New York Sun. Tho statistics of tho nnthraclto coal production for Juno nnd for tho six months of 1S97 ended with Juno 30, with the deductions that may bo drawn from them, nro extremely encouraging for tho great eoal companies nnd coal-carrying railroads. The output for June wns ::, 020,000 tons, a decrease of 301,100 tons as compared with tho same month In 1SW, nnd a decrcaso of 557,044 tons ns com pared with June, 1S03, Tho total ship ments for tho six months to Juno SO ag grrgatcd 10,100,000 tons, ns ngalnst JS, MS.IJ1S tons for the corresponding period last year, a decrcaso of 2,7flS,54S tons. Il Is fair to assume that tho small ship ments of tho last six months are not duo to any equivalent falling off In tho mat ter of consumption, but only to curtail ments of purchase which have been bi ought about by greater concert in tho action of tho companies, and as c con sequenco tho balance of tho year must fee an enormous amount of coal mined and shipped to bring the year's supply up to tho average. What the totnl amount will bo no one can predict with anything like accuracy, for tho figures of tho past four years havo shown great fluctuations. o Ten years ngo tho country was using moro than 30,000,000 tons of anthracite coal each year and tho tendency then seemed to bo toward an Increaso nt tho rato of 10 per cent, a year. If such a rata Iu.d been kept up tho nmount now In do mind would bo more than 75,000 000 tons. Instead of this tho nmount mined In ISM wns 45,000,000 tons and In 1S9G 43,000,000 Iho business was on nn unsound basis, and tho effort of every operator to tako advantage of every chanco for a salo kept prices down, nnd although thero was nn Improvement In this respect In 13)'i o er 1S05 to an extent of perhaps 40 cpiiIs a ton, such big coal roads ns tho Central Railroad of New Jersey nnd the Dela ware and Hudson were forced to reduce their dividends. Jersey Central's divi dends fell from C per cent, to 4 per cent., and Delawaro and Hudson's from 0 or 7 per cent, to fi per cent. It seems certain, however, that the total hard coal con sumption cannot fall below tho figures of last year, nnd If this proves true, thero aro still nearly 27,000,000 tons to be mined and shipped before Dec. 31. This would bo 4,500,000 tons a month to be distrib uted In an even manner over every ono of tho big hard coal roads. If with this coming business thero was also to bo ex. pected a lowering of prices or a failure to uphold a fair price, then tho outlook would bo anything but bright for tho rnllroads. But this seems to bo far from tho case. Prices aro ruling stronger and nearer to tho card rates than they havo for a long time. Some stove coal has been sold recently nt $1.20 a ton net, and tho companies declaro that In August they expect to rccelvo the full July cir cular rate of $1.50. o Ono of tho causes which have led to tho small shipments of eoal In the last few months is tho curtallmont of credits which tho companies used to extend to dealers. It had been tho rule to let theso dealers fill their yards with coal and pay for It on long credit. The railroads found themselves hard pressed to carry all of theso accounts last year and they havo put In operation a determination at which they arrived then, not to extend any long credits. Ono effect of this is that now when tho heavy full sales aro nbout to begin thero Is ltttlo coal In sight. Thero Is nono at tho mines nor In tho big coal pockets, and the Anthracite Operators' association found after examining nearly 200 coal yards In this city that they con tained only 00,000 tons, or 18 per cent, of their halt million tons capacity. This is believed to bo a fair indication of tho yards along tho whole Heaboard. When tho demand for fall begins, It will then, apparently, set all tho miners at work and tax tho resources or railroads and shipping docks. Many strong dealers aro said to bo fol lowing their old tactics and holding off from placing their orders on the hope of breaking tho price, as they have done many times before, but tho operators do- v-ni.u uuu mm i'uii imruiy Happen tills year, becauso of tho circumstances Just dCSCllhed. ft 1l nnntlil..nl. l,nllr..nil t.n an avorago lato can bo obtained for tho conl yet to como to market of 50 cents a ton higher than it was last year. .If this proves truo tho result will ho of vast benefit to both operators nnd tho coal roads. Under their agreements tho rail roads nnd operators sharo tho prlco of tho coal In proportions of CO per cent, to tho railroads and 40 per cent, to tho oper ators. An advance of CO cents a ton thercfoio meuns a clear gain of 30 cents to the railroads for every ton hauled, and where tho railroads aio also tho mine owners, as Is tho caso with many of them, tho whole Increaso In pilco Is their gain. CUBA'S riUKNDS. Prom tho Now Yotk Sun. "I never realized how widespread was the Interest in tho cause of tho Cuban In surgents untb last week," said a New York man. "I was under tho Impression that sympathy with them was contlned to tho largo cities, where tho matter has been agitated by tho newspapers and the people are In a position to know tome tling about tho merits of tho cause. Hut Inst week while In Blnghnmton, N. Y I had occaslcn to drive cut to n email sum mer settlement known as Quaker Lake, It Is about ilttoon miles from Bingham ton, and tho road Is through o. desolate and mountainous country. One doesn't strike many houses on the way, and. to mako tho trlr rroro cheerless the road passes through tho deserted village of Brackney, or.co a prosperous settlement, whoso Inhabitant?! worked In tho tanner ies. About a mllo beyond Brackney I enmo across a little mlto of a house, al most hidden among the trees and about 'a dozen yards from tho road. I would hnvo passed it by without noticing: It at all, but fcr a small flag pole which stood In ftont of it, frtm which waved the Hag of Cuba. Under it was tho American flag. A man sat on tho ground In front of the house, and, ns ho didn't look particularly formidable I Kot out of my carrlago and opened conversation with him, on the plea that I wanted a drink of wator. 1 woiked the tnlk around to tho ling, nnd finally nuked him who had put It thero. " 'Me'n my worr.on,' ho answrreJ. " 'Any Interest In Cuba?" I ventured. " '.None, 'cept tho Interest of a free man In a struggling race,' ho said.

AN ADMIRABLE SELECTION. From the Philadelphia Press. Tho appointment of Terence V. Pow derly as United States commissioner of Immigration Is an admlrablo selection from every point of view. Mr. Powderly comes to his post peculiarly equipped to glvo tho country what It has not had for four years a competent administration of this most Important office. Mr. Pow derly, being nn expert on labor matters, for years has ndvocated tho passage nnd enforcement of strict immlgrntion laws. As tho administration docs not desire nny exccutlvo nullification of salutary stat utes, Mr. Powderly is tho right man for tho place, slnco ho will enforce tho laws ns they should bo enforced nnd prevent tho Immigration of contract laborers, paupers and all those undesirable clnsses which tho existing statutes aro expected to screen out, but which hnve of late been getting In under a lax administra tion of tho office. Aside from this, Mr. Powderly Is a mnn of character and force. For years Identified with what was then the largest labor orgnnlzntlon in the world, nfter leaving It he did not relax his grasp on nffalrs, but In the study of lav further equipped himself for public life In various capacities. His attltudo toward labor questions hns been both sympathetic nnd practical, nnd as ho Is no visionary In his new field of work ho should be nble to try to do tho country nnd tho labor market service of unusual value. m - - THE TAIlirr AUKEEJIENT. From tho Philadelphia Press. The country will find doublo reason for rejoicing today In tho fact that the tariff conferees hnvo reached nn ngreement and that tho agreement embraces tho defeat of tho Sugar Trust and the triumph of tho just and equitable house sugar sched ule. On tho other matters of difference there has been no difficulty In reaching nn adjustment. But the sugar schedule Involved a vital Issue of principle and of public morality, and It Is profoundly gratifying to all friends of honest rule and public decency that the attempt to mako congress tho minister of tho odious Sugar Trust has been Ignomlnously de feated. This consummation has been reached by tho firm attltudo of tho house through Its speaker and Its conferees In unwavering resistance to the senato com mltteo demands. Tho day which wit nesses this triumph of right Is a great day for the Republican party and for the cause of public morals and honest gov ernment which it represents. NOT SATISFIED YET. From tho Carbondalo Leader. Tho Scranton city fathers havo for mally decided to chnnge tho name of their ".Municipal Building" to that of "City Hall." The former cognomen was found to bo too "hlfalutln" oven for a town with tho aspirations of Scranton. Tho councils have, however, now gono to tho other extreme and by naming the structure "City Hall" returned to a style that Is almost antediluvian. Tho nnmo Is Incorrect, too, as the edifice Is In no senso a "hall." Scranton can again pattern with profit nfter Carbondalo by naming it "City building." That is a term that expresses Its uses and purposes exactly and Is a happy medium between tho out-of-dnto "City Hall" and the to many unpronounceablo name "Municipal Build ing." If tho Scranton councils are wise they will hold a special meeting. at once to correct their two former mistakes In regard to this important matter. TOO PREVIOUS. Wellman, In Times-Herald. Senator Jones, of Arkansas, makes a public announcement that tho Democratic party is going to attack President Mc Klnley becauso tho administration has not dono anything for Cuba. Mr. Jones, ns usual, Is too previous. About tho time ho gets his attack well under way the cables will bo bringing hot stuff from Madrid. THEY RECOGNIZE IT. From tho Washlrgton Star. There Is enough dyr.amlte In the senato sugar schedulo to blow tho Republican party into smithereens. Tom Iteed and tho houso Republicans, who are nearer the peoplo than tho senators, recognlzo this fact and do not proposo to bo accessory to political suicide. TOLD BY THE STARS.
