Secretary Sherman's preJIctlon that Spain will lose Cuba Is rend with sat lsiuRtton In America; hut the part which the Unlteil States government ia to play In expediting manifest destiny Is what Americans aro most curious to know, and on this subject the secre tary of state throws no light whatever. A Warning. For the net whereby the prime min ister of Spain was yesterday so sud denly striken down by the bullet of nn nssassln there can be within the con fines of civilization only ono fcclltiK tint of utter detestation. Humanity will every whore cry out against It. It Is unpardonable. "Vliat Its effect will bo upon an nl leady dramatic International situation cannot yet be fully conjectured. That for p. time It will bring more closely to gether the discordant elements In Span ish politics and tend to still the rising chorus of dissent from Senor Canovas' Cuban policy seems probable; on the contrary, the assassination Itself be tokens a tension of feeling in Spain) vhlcn constitutes the uncertain fnctor In the broad Cuban equation. Although the assassin is described as an "anar chist" It will bi dlflleult to believe that lie did not find sppclal Incitement In the populnr dissatisfaction having Its origin in the costly and fruitless Cuban campaign. His bullet will appear In the eyes of the world to symbolise nn Ignorant and vicious manifestation of a general feeling of revolt from Insen sate taxation prolonged under a false appeal to the patriotism of the Spanish nation, In order that Weyler at Havana may drain Spain's life-blood at the tamo time that he Is ruining Cuba. If the Eovcrnlng forces nt Madrid pos.sess the gift of foresight this grim note of tragedy will sound the warning for a reconsideration of the mad policy of rule or ruin to which Senor Canovas stood pledged. It Is possible that tho assassin's bullet has delayed for a time the hour of Cuba's deliverance; jet In the very view which prompts this opin ion there appear reasons to believe that it will ultimately work for Cuba's good. The hand of the United States Is now stayed from a master stroke; but the iulverlng vitals of exhausted Spain of fer through this frenzied crime a warn ing which not even the uncompromis ing statesmen of Spain will bo likely to Ignore or forget. While not needed, tho denial that tho president Intends to take the stump In tho approaching Ohio campaign Is wel come. The spectacle of a president on the hustings would be undignified. The Rule of Mr. Reed. In tho opinion of the Springfield Re publican, which ndmlres the ability but condemns tho parliamentary nollcv of the present speaker of congress! 'far?': Heed will soon need to open a literary bureau to defend the autocracy of the gavel. Here Is another solid Republi can paper, tho Globe-Democrat, of St. Louis, which makes him personally re sponsible for the system, and declares that 'this exercise of authority may establish a precedent which some time or other may bring unpleasant conse quences to tho country.' Heed's rules simply mean that Reed rules, and if Reed rules there's little use In electing congressmen outside the First Maine district every two years." It is very easy for tho average citi zen, after reading and hearing utter ances like this, to Imagine that the present speaker Is an utterly Irrespon sible despot, who knows no law or curb save those of his own caprice. As a matter of fact, such a conclusion would be crossly unjust. The speaker of congress, no matter who ho Is, must necessarily be the servant of congress and can use for nny purpose not a whit more power than congress Itself by tho vote of a majority of Its membership permits him to use. If Speaker Reed can succeed In securing from congress It3 authority to extend his authority to a degree beyond precedents then It follows cither that he has Individual charms of an extraordinary character or that new conditions In the public service have Impressed tho majority element In tho house with tho need of clothing the speaker of congress with powers In excess of those formerly en joyed by him. It consequently Is utter ly Illogical for nny Journal, Democratic or Republican, to blame Mr. Reed for the extent to which ho has applied so called paramount power to the shaping or repression of legislation. If It bo felt that blame should attach to any mun or group of men, the proper loca tion for it Is upon tho Republican mem bership of congress which has repeat edly confirmed the gentleman repre senting the First Maine district In his rulings from tho chair. Emergency rather than precedent Is necessarily the Important factor In a popular government. If precedent alono had been consulted, this nation would never have had a beginning. More Important by far than nny theo retical hair-splitting over tho question of parllamentary'practlco Is tho ques tion, Has Speaker Reed used his, au thority to the public advantage? If he has, then neither ho nor tho majority which stood back at him Is to he cen sured. When he with their approval shall abuse that power It will be tlmo to complain, Tho movement to establish a school of fine arts In this city, which la ex plained In our local department this morning, will without doubt heartily commend Itself to every ono possessing a spark of esteem for true art. That It Is to bo launched and conducted In a spirit of phllanthrophy, and out of a pure lovo of art and gwilus rather than with any mercenary object In view makes It almost Imperatlvo that It should bo patronized by those whoso culture and means fit them to promote and cherish such a project. Let It be hoped that tho movement will not lag until tho school Is a reality. The American people hiivo no Ill-will for Japan; but they cannot permit that country or any other to stand on their toes. When this Is understood tho per plexities of tho Hawaiian Issue will speedily clear away. Worthy of Memorization. Tho ovldcnccs that prosperity Is re turning abound on every hand, 'but a parade of them In print should not be needed to Inspire every patriotic Amer ican with a determination to do nil ho can to expedite the business revival. The truth Is aptly spoken by the Phila delphia Bulletin when It says: "No man can afford to turn his back to these conditions. It Is his manifest duty, ns good citizen, husband or father, to go his full length In meet ing tho returning wanderer and hid him welcome. Sulking will not do, doubting' will not avail, lying about It Is silly ns well as futile. Let every man go forwnrd ready to use his strength of brain and brawn In the work of rejuvenation and recuperation. Lost ground has to he reclaimed, lost dollars must bo replaced, and there Is only one way to do It: Bo earnest, be hopeful, be cheerful and work, work, work. Then you will know prosperity Is hero without having to And It out In the papers." These words of advice are worthy to be committed to memory. m The Right to Argue and to Work. It Is reported that tho olllclals of the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal company will npply today to United States Judge Acheson nt Pittsburg for an injunction against the striking coal miners similar to the one recently Issued by Judge Jackson, of West Vir ginia, and for a force of federal mar shals sufficiently strong to carry the Injunction Into effect. The Injunction Issued by Judge Jackson Is said to have restrained the strikers In West Vir ginia "from In nny way Interfering with or molesting the management or the property of the Monongah Coke and Coal company or Its employes, or trespassing upon the property of the company or the approaches thereto, or Inciting Its employes to strike, or in terfering in nny manner whatever, either by word or deed, in the com pany's affairs.1' It Is unlikely that Judge Acheson will go so far as to Issue a decree of court forbidding the Pennsylvania strikers to "Incite" their fellow-miners to strike. We know of no power found ed on law or justice whereby men at work may not be persuaded to discon tinue that work, provided the argu ment Is conducted In a peaceful man ner on public territory. We consider that the New York Sun's comment up on the published version of the Jack son Injunction Is correct In saying that "an Individual or a corporation Is en titled to legal protection against tres passes upon Its property. No ono has a rlcht to go upon a form or Into a coal mine against the command of the owner, to persuade his laborers to leave their employment." Yet the Sun cer tainly Is equally Justified In asking: "Hut In their own homes, or In tho public places, where the men from the farm or the men from tho mines may peaceably assemble and reason to gether, by what authority can any court forbid a citizen to advise them to cease work, where such cessation Involves no violence to person or prop erty?" In our Judgment there Is no such authority. If there be, public opinion will speedily abridge it by con stitutional means. The highest law In a free government is the law of common sense. That law says that any man or number of men may reason with another man or num ber of men whenever the parties rea soned with aro willing and the rights of no third party are violated. The at tempt by a federal court to abridge this privilege In over so slight a de gree could not bo considered other than unfortunate. On the other hand, the moment a man is forcibly kept from his dally work by others who don't want him to work but have no right to interfere with him, then a condition Is created which calls for the whole force of the government If nec essary to his protection. Tho Philadelphia Times offers very sensible ndvlco when It suggests that tho present tlmo Is too early a time to be passed In excitement over tho guger natorlal problem. That Is something which may well be committed for solu tion to the future. The Degraded Degree. Professor Lukens, of Hryn Mawr, recently asked one hundred Ameri can colleges for opinions ns to wheth er the giving of honorary degrees In this country has not been carried to an excess. From tho replies he cites some Interesting facts. Ono college In Kansas granted degrees to two wom en for "conspicuous work, especially In a literary way." A New York collego has been giving It to "skilled teachers." A leading Pennsylvania institution bestows It. for "eminent attainments." Another college In the same state has been limiting It to professors and prin cipals, whllo a third gives It for "meri torious scientific work;" and one In Ohio requires "eminence In philosoph ical pursuits," Some colleges Har vard among them until lately give LL. D. to the state governors, "General fitness" Is one ground; "valuable ser vices" another; "sufllclent prominence" another. One New Enland college, we aro told, granted the degree of LL. D. "to 'an old lady In Vermont, nn old teacher and nn efficient worker In the cause of temperance,' while another leading college says that it gives tho degreo 'to a citizen or benefactor, not literary, whom the university desires to honor,'" MoBt persons who take interest In scholarship will concur In the opinion of the Provldenco Journal that there Is need of a higher standard of lltness amonir thoso who aro selected both for academio and for honorary distinc tion by college conferment. "Nothing," it' Justly says, "Is less justifiable than tho bestowal of an A. M. or a Ph. D. for other reasons than academio ones. Abroad they always represent actual work done and eminence achloved; and they arc no more plven broadcast than the dejjreca of A. B, or M. D. An honorary Ph. D. Is on ab surdity. The man who accepts It ex cept on the condition of winning It honestly is a pretender. There Is no way of protecting those who work hon estly for n degree supposed to repre sent scholarship and thU3 to have a practical value except by limiting tho bestowal of such degrees to them and refusing to consider any one else, no matter how eminent, ns a possible can didate. In the conferring of honorary degrees, of course, considerable dis cretionary powers must be allowed." Yet even hero n wrong Is done to tho cause of higher scholarship when degrees aro peddled around among men of lndlulcrent Intellectual attain ments, merely because it Is thought desirable by collego faculties that such men should bo nursed for particular reasons. Such degrees carry no real distinction nnd servo only to detract from the credit which should attach to an honest and Judicious recognition of merit. Publlo sentiment will soon havo either to Insist upon a proper restriction of the degree-giving habit or else bring itself to bear for tho utter discarding of degrees, good, bad and Indifferent. Perhaps our calamity howling con temporaries of which a few yet re main will take note of tho fact that tho freight trafflc on the middle divis ion of the Pennsylvania railroad Is larger now than It has ever been dur ing a previous August In tho road's history. And perhap9 thoy won't. As a rule they don't care much for facts. Tho Buffalo Express announces that It Is preparing for Aug. 22 a souvenir Issue treating specially of tho forth coming national encampment of tho Grand Army of the Republic. As tho Express never does things by halves, It may be taken for granted that this publication will be of real Interest to veterans and the friends of veterans. We notice with pleasure that our good friend, Colonel E. II. Butler, Is again, to use a turf phrase, showing heels to tho newspaper field In Buf falo, and that tho circulation of his phenomenally successful Evening News is headed for the 75,000 mark. The good feature of that journal's popular ity Is that It Is merited. ... Many of the sayings of Richard Quay that embarrass the paternal pathway wero never said by him a fact some times necessary to remember. flou) the Czar Ctirbs Reckless Wheelmen From tho Troy Times. Tho American bicycler hns no reason to find fault with such regulations as havo been adopted in most cities, but when so many havo taken to tho wheel It Is no wonder that fault tinders nro numbered by tho score. If they would take the trouble to Investigate the regula tions attached to bicycle riding In for eign countries they would bo compelled to admit that thoy are especially favored. Take Russia, for instance. Of course that country being under the rule of nn auto crat, Russian ideas do not appeal to Americans, but It does not follow that those Ideas are necessarily bad. On tho contrary, the bicycle regulations in forco In St. Petersburg seem to bo so good as to bo deserving of consideration In this country. Bicycling Is fast coming to tho foro in tho Russian capital in spite of the natural conditions, which aro un favorable to tho sport during n greater part of tho year. Consul General Karel In ono of his reports to tho state depart ment sums up tho Russian regulations ns follows: o "Blcyclo riding In tho streets of tho city Is allowed only on low, two wheeled which are considered by tho city ad ministration not dangerous. Only thoso persons of proper age, who havo received a permit from tho St. Petersburg city ndmlnlstrntlon, can rldo. Tho permit musi oear tno name or tho proprietor and Is given only to persons who know how to rldo a bicycle. By tho city governor's special order tho person who receives a permit to rldo a bicycle must give a photograph of himself, which is attached to tho permit. Every person who has re ceived a permit to rldo a bicycle In the city Is supplied by tho administration with a number. Ho must have on his bi cycle a bell and after dark a lighted lan tern. The kind of tag. tho tlmo and way In which It must bo attached to tho bl cyclo are established by the city admin istration and conlirmed by tho city gov ernor. Each person riding a bicycle must carry with him tho permit, with tho present regulations printed In It. Fast riding or racing In tho city is not al. lowed. Riders must alwuys keep to tho right, as near to tho sidewalk as pos sible. Riders must pass foot passengers and equipages on tho left hand side, If possible. In overtaking a foot passengor or an equlpago the bicycle rider must In duo tlmo ring tho bell and he must pass slowly. To ring without need Is prohibit ed. No other signals except bolls nro allowed. In caso horses should take fright at a bicycle tho rider must stop and alight. o "In turning a corner or In crossing a street tho blcyclo must bo ridden very slowly and tho bell rung. In localities where thero Is much public trafllo and many equlppages riders must alight and lend their wheels. When several blcyclo riders aro together they must ride one after the other at a distance not less than fourteen feet between each blcyclo It Is prohibited to rldo or load a blcyclo on sidewalks, roads for pedestrians, boul evards, squares and parks, Riding a bl cyclo in the city In a racing costume such ns would attract special attention, is pro hlblted. Tho riding of bicycles can bo stopped on somo streets by order of tho police, In the following cases: During the tlmo when their Imperial majesties nro expected to paBs, during religious pro cessions nnd In places where thero Is a largo gathering of peoplo and equipages. Tho riding of bicycles Is not allowed In certain parts of tho Nevski Prospect nor in tho Summer park. Tho city governor has tho right to prohibit tho riding of bicycles In somo of the streets of tho city A person violating these regulations may bo deprived by tho police of his permit ho may also bo brought by tho pollco be fore tho court." fl it would bo Interesting to noto how tho men who grumblo at tho mild American regulations would like, tho Idea of com plying with the St. Petersburg rules. Doubtless thoy would assert that more liberty should bo allowed In this freo country than In czar-rldden Russia. That may bo truo enough, but liberty should never bo allowed to toko tho form of 11 censo, nor should Innumerable autocrats astrldo of bicycles nnd "scorching" along tho streets, to tho Imminent danger of Innocent passersby, ho substituted for tho ono autocrat who lives In tho winter pal ace and rules with an Iron hand. This Is Indeed a freo country, and freedom should bo for all and not for any partlcu. lar class, either riders or non-riders, A COKTIIAST. From tho Archbahl Citizen. As n sample of how politics is carried on in .tlila county It may bo well to cail tho attention of tho votors to tho meth ods of conducting business In this, our own, Fourth legislative district.

IN CUBA. From tho Sprlnglleld Republican. Our latest gllmpso of tho situation In Cuba Is through a letter Just printed by the London Chronicle from a correspond ent who writes from Santa Clara prov ince. This 1b testimony of recent dato coming through an English and an Im partial source. "Tho unspeakable sav agery of General Weyler's attempts to repress tho rising of tho Cubans against Spanish tyranny," Is the Chronicle's own way of calling attention to tho corre spondent's letter, which thus begins: "The more one sees of tho struggle and tho fearful devastation occasioned there by, tho stronger grows the conviction that Spain Is plunging deeper and deeper Into a slough of depond which threatens to engulf her nt every stop, and from which her chanco of emerging victoriously seems hopeless. Tho accumulated debts will bo a fearful load for a country In Spain's position. Intrinsically tho Island Is not worth tho struggle, the prlco In blood and money has 'been far too high for tho Island .In prosperity, and now It Is nn ash heap from Cape Antonio In tho extreme west to tho great trochn." o The Insurgents hold tho eastern dis tricts and there "Cuba lllire," ono reads, Is an accomplished fact. "In tho west, this howling waste, once tho best and most prosperous portion of tho Island, tho Insurgents roam around at pleasure . . . and tho 'pnclflcos- aro still dying of starvation, yellow fover and small pox." Spanish treatment of tho non-combatants, which amounts to "the compul sory starvation of thousands," "will add another blot to tho bloody escutcheon of Spain." It even disgusts" many leading olllcers of the colony "who are not slow now In condemning the the fatuous pol icy of tho captain general." And the cor respondent continues: "Tho scenes dally to be witnessed In the filthy reeking set tlements of the 'rcconcentrados' are so utterly revolting that the Spanish sol diers, hardened as they are by rough treatment and scenes of blood, arc often touched by tho misery of these people, and give their sorry ration of bread to stop tho mournful walls of tho children for food. Yet there Is no hopo for them, no chanco of tho famine being assuaged. Where can food come from with barren Interior and blockaded coast? Smfllt-pox Is rife among these poor wretches, with every precaution disregarded, while yel low fever dances a ghastly attendance. Tho condition of .the Spanish troops Is nearly as pitiful poor ragged Spanish boys, enduring hardships, plod ling weari ly on In straw shces and torn, harsh, linen suits, till thoy fall exhausted and perish by the roadside for lack of care In providing ambulances or proper medi cal stores by tho authorities, who havo torn thero youths from home and forced them to light In these noisome swamps." o Thero has been severe criticism of Gen eral Weyler In American journals, but none of it has surpassed that Of this writer to an English newspaper: "Nei ther mercy nor quarter has ho shown, and he has turned tho Cuban struggle Into a near approach to the campaign of Alva In Holland. Every day prisoners aro executed for the crime of rebellion, and before tho final scene, I hear, on tho authority of eyewitnesses, that inquisi torial tortures aro resorted to If the vic tim is suspected of withholding Informa tion." The evidence of horrors and sav agery Is too varied, circumstantial and cumulative to doubt much. And It all goes on and on. A HIGHER LEOAL STANDARD. From tho Philadelphia Times. Tho first examination for admission to tho bar under the raised standard ndopt ed In Lackawanna county was held re cently, and out of seven applicants three failed. All of those who took the exam ination wero of average ability, and had pursued the usual courBo of study In somo lawyer's olllce, and tho falluro of almost half of tho candidates Is duo en tirely to tho higher qualifications which are being Insisted on In that county. o Uniformity in tho standard of admis sion to the bar Is desirable, but appar ently Impossible In this stutc. Tho Penn sylvania Bar association has been agitat ing the mutter for some time without any tangible result, nnd there seems to be no prospect now of nny one stnndard being agreed to. But the discussion of legal education by tho state association nnd In law Journals has resulted In tho better appreciation of tho need of a higher standard of admission, and tho reform in stituted by the Lackawanna county ex amining commltteo Is Its legltlmato fruit. o As long ns there Is no state examining board, the responsibility for tho turning out of poorly-equipped lawyers rests sole ly on the shoulders of tho courts and bar of each county. They prepare their own course of study and formulate their own questions. And they are, therefore, tho only organizations to which an appeal can bo made for a higher standard. Such nn appeal should bo unnecessary. Tno need of a mora exacting examination. In certain counties nt least, should bo too plain to bo pointed out. But tho very faci. that a higher standard Is being Insisted on In counties where the average of the bar Is of tho first class, whllo In thoso whero tho legal reputation. of the lawyers Is not so good comparatively low qualifi cations nro maintained, proves that tho need Is not universally appreciated In this state. A stream cannot rise higher than Its source, and It will bo hard to elevate tho standard of admission to tho bar In some counties, but nn earnest effort should bo mndo In that direction everywhere. When Lackawanna considers Its standard too low, surely other counties cannot but see that they are manufacturing lawyers too easily nnd with too little preparation. WON'T WANT A IlEPETITION.
