On the Eve of Developments.
The New York Sun assumes that tho
Instruction which Minister Woodford
has received from the state depart
ment "aro nmonc the most Important
ever framed liv the executive branch
of the jrovernment. and the message
he lias to deliver In all the accepted
forms nf politic and punctilious diplo
macy In without doubt one of tho
piavct vhlc.li ths ew Woild has ecr
f-er.t to fbe nation that was once the
i '.after of more than half ths conti
nent" The Sun may have private In
formation ore this point. Tho fact that
It has lately desisted fiom those symp
tom of Impatience which foimeily ap
pealed In its olumns would .seem to
Indicate hs muiKh Wo tiu-t that events
vJ1Isoq!i vindicate Its prophecy.
In this connection Interest attaches
to- the leport, to which the Sun was tho
tljst paper to give cuuemy, that one
of the suRUestlotiH General Woodford
will make to the Spanish government,
as oon as he Is recognized by Spain as
the Ameilran minister, will bo the pur
chase by the Cubans of their freedom,
paving to Spain a vvsir Indemnity to be
guaranteed by the United States. It
is Known that this proposition has at
different times been under considera
tion by President JtcKlnley, but the
curt Interview In vvWch Mlnlalei de
Lome seveial months ago dismissed It
as unworthy of notice by Spain offers
small hope of Its acceptance now. Tho
more plausible theory is that Spain will
reply to the representations of General
Woodford, whatever shall be their
tenot, an she replied to the patiile over
tut es of Messis. Cleveland and Olncy,
by Intimating to this government that
the condition of affairs In Cuba is none
of its business.
And on the whole this would be per
haps the mott welcome leply that she
could make, .since It would bilng Im
mediately to the government of the
United States the necessity of either
abandoning Its moial duty In the prem
ises or proceeding to the fulllllment of
that duty without waste of time upon
Impossible effotts to Influence Spain
to offer autonomy to Cuba. In that
event the conclusion would be reached
In shoit order, and the diplomatic Held
tleaied of a most nnnoving factor of
cmbanassment and distui banco.
Tint the Demociatic party needs re
organizing Is undeniable. Hut per
haps the most economical way to ac
complish this Is to let the patty as
at present constituted perish and trust
to luck to evolve a better one fiom Its
xcmalns.
Section 22.
An ado of some pioportlons has late
ly been made over the twenty-second
section of the Dlngley law, and Attoi
ney General Mc Kenna Is reported to
be now consideiing whether that sec
tion Is valid. The section follows:
That a discriminating duty of ten per
centum ad valorem In addition to the
duties imposed by law, shall be levied,
collected and paid on all goods, wares
or merchandise which shall bo Imported
in vessels not of the United States, oi
which, being the production or manufac
ture of any foreign countiy not con
tiguous to tho United States, shall como
into the United States from such con
tiguous country, but this disci Imlnntlng
duty shall not apply to goociB, wares or
merchandise which shall be Imported in
vessels not or the United States, enti
tled at the time of such impoitatlon by
treaty or convention to be entered In tho
ports of the United States on payment
of tho same duties as shall then be p,i
able on goods, wares and merchandise
Imported In vessels of the United States,
nor to such foreign products or manu
factures as shall bo Imported from such
eontlguous countries In the usual course
of strictly retail tiado.
It Is evident from the woullng of this
section, not less thnn from the explanu
tlons of Its responsible authoi, Senator
Klklns, nnd the other senatoiH whose
votes gave it vitality, that the Intent
was to put a Btop to favoiltlsm to for
eigners over Americans. The section
means, among other tilings, that the
Canadian ralliouds, which are laigely
creatine of subsidy, will not lie able
Ijenceforwaul, by means of the bond
ing privilege, to underbid American
railroads for 'tho ttansportatlon to
Ameilcaii consignees of freight from
sealward to Interior nnd thus divert
from this country money which might
otherwise) remain In domestic disttibu
tlon. There aro cettaln sections, as,
for example, New England and the
northwest, which prefer to see the
American railroads underbidden, be
cause It means to them more business
or chfaper freights. The representa
tlves of these sections In congress now
claim that this section was put thiough
without their knowledge and is a trick
of the railway lobby a,t Washington.
They offer no proof In support of their
contention, and therefore It Is not wor
thy of serious notice. But If the Inclu
slon of the discrimination duty In the
tariff bill was a trick it evidently was a
trick In the right direction and r.o pro
tectionist who corea anything for con
sistency can afford to offer objection
to it.
The rational view of this matter Is
thus presented by h Detroit Tribune,
a Journal which It U considered only
local Interests would have consldetable
excuse to oppose the illscrlmlnatlng
duty as a blow to thV shippers of Its
neighborhood: "Some of the roads on
Oils side of the border will doubtless
uUffer somewhat but the, gteat
transcontinental roads wll Bt1n. New
England has become tie exit toward
the Atlantic of the Canndlan roads, and
Boston and Portland, doubtless, wilt
lose BOtnq business which the Canadian
lines now lrlti(r them. The extreme
northwest may have to iay somewhat
larger freight rates to the seaboard,
and the Michigan Central may suffer
In Its Canada Southern branch. But If
protective measures were all to bo
abandoned because they cost some sec
tions money, tho policy which the coun
try lmi sustained from tho beginning
of the lepubllo must be totally re
versed. Foreign ships are forbidden to
do r coasting trade In the United States
for the purpose of securing that trade
to our own ships nnd our own sailors
and our own capital. Why are not the
men nnd the money engaged In rail
roading In the United States quite as
much entitled to similar protection?"
Thin sday's accident on the Dela
ware, Lackawanna nnd Western rail
road, unfortunate n It was, calls at
tention to the comparative fieedom
of this system from such mishaps. At
a time when there might be an Inclina
tion on the public's part to pass hasty
censure It seems no mor than fair to
rolnt out that no other rullwav svs
tcm In the country hao by careful and
Intelligent manageinjnt reduced to a
low r percentage the liability of Its
patrons to accident Hciantonlans may
feel assuiod that whatever the cause
ot tho easualtv at Hlodgett'a Mills, no
iiinn will be inoi e prompt to profit by
the lesson thereof or moie vigilant In
effecting additional salegunnU thun.
General Manager W. F. Hallstcad.
Not a Bad Idea.
A "Republican who voted for Lin
coln" but Is too modest to give his
n line advances In a communication to
the Wllkes-Birro Record the sugges
tion that In order to free the Hcpubll
cun management of the state ttcas
ury from the suspicion which has been
excited against It during the past few
months the present state tieasuier, Mr.
Havwodd, invito a thorough Investiga
tion by persons concerning whose im
paitlallty nnd thoroughness there woull
bo no doubt In the minds of the people.
Hu formulates his proposition thus:
"Let the party named challenge a
complete and scat tiling' examination
of the assets of tho state treasury by
a committer composed of such Repub
licans as Senator K.utffman, of Lan
caster, Senator Gobln, of Lebanon,
Repiesentatlvo Coray, ot Luerne, and
Hepiesentatlve Stewail, of Philadel
phia, togethei with two such expert
uccountants as they muy select. If
the tieasury Is all right a report to
that effect by the men named would
nt once cany conviction to the Tto
publlcat.s of the state and restote the
conltdence of thousands of good party
men. It would give to Candidate Uea
toni piactlcully tho full patty vote,
which otherwise It will be impossible
for him to receive. No one of sense
believes that such action as I suggest
Is ncccssaiy to asurc the election of
Mr, rsoaccm, but Republicans also teel
th it his success by a greatly reduced
iiiajoiily would be n stinging tebuke
to the paity, Inasmuch as It would In
dicate public dlatrust of Republican
Integiltv."
Willie It might be objected that such
mi Investigation would be li tegular,
without specific warrant In law, and
in effect a reflection upon tho work of
the legislative committee which leeent
ly conducted an inquiry into tieasuiy
u'falis, and biought in a lepoit ap
piovlng the treasuiy management In
eveiy detail, et In view of the eulogis
tic comment made in tho piescnt state
platfoim upon Mr. Haywood's admin
istration, no less than as a testimonial
cf his peisonal willingness to submit his
vvoilt to scrutiny whenever so lequest
cd. Mi. Haywood might do an effective
stioke for the partj, by confounding
his critics with the veiy InvitaMon they
piofets to desire. If we vveio In his
plate we should certainly do this and
thu. effectively cork them up.
In his speech before the Nebraska
fusion convention Wednesday, Mr. Bry
an stood by his old battle oiy of "16 to 1,
without asking the old or consent of
any other nation," anl what Is more,
he carried the convention with him.
The coming November election In Ne
braska will disclose to what extent Mr.
Ui van's hypnotic Influence of last year
has survived falling silver and dollar
wheat: but In any event It is alieady
clear to the unprejudiced onlooker that
Mr. Hr.van himself is a peisonal factor
In American politics who will in future
have to o reckoned upon.
Not to Be Dodged.
The Washington Post deplores tho
efforts of the two colored young men,
Smith and Uundy, to secute ndmlslon
to the naval academy at Annapolis.
It admits that legally they should
ttand as applicants on nn equal foot
ing with whites, but It contends that
from th" standpoint of policy, that Is
to sa, so far as the effects of their
action shall be lellected In the subse
quent condition of their lace, they are
making a mistake In trvlng to push In
umong the whites In the face of ex
isting nnd deep-seated prejudices
against such associations. We suspect
that our contemporary takes a circum
bcitbed view of this mattei. The negro
Is not on this continent voluntarily.
He did not come hero by choice. He Is
not, the! ef ore, to be forever punished
for u situation not of his ow u creation.
The doctrine that present inequali
ties In the social relations of the negio
with the white must be perpetuated,
It respective of the equal public rights
guaranteed to him by the constitution,
or in other words, that the essential
evil of slavery should survive even
thiough slaveiy Itself, as a legal insti
tution, has been extlipated, is very
popular among the wnltes and the de
scendants of whites who favored slav
ery nnd were responsible for its pres
ence on this continent; but It cannot
stand before the bar either of con
science or common sense. Much as It
would conduce to our convenience aa
a people, wo ennnot much longer shirk
our duty In connection with the race
problem as It faces us In the attitude
of southern whites toward southern
blacks. The negro, after two centuries
of injustice and oppression, Is not to
be set adrift upon the community as
an outcast and a pariah by the refusal
of his former oppressors to accept th
unpleasant consequences arising out of
their long-continued violation of moral
law. Tho whites who made their bed
In slavery must now He In the nftcr
effects thereof; and tho government
which wrote on Its highest statute that
the colored brother vvas free should pro
ceed to give effectiveness to that man
date. A case Is reported from Montgomery,
Ala., which strikingly Illustrates the
divergence possible between law and
Justice when shrewd legal talent Is cm
ployed to effect the separation. Doug
lass White, a negro, live years ago
killed a woman. Ho was tried and sen
tenced to death; a retrial was ordered
and tho sentence of tho second trial
was life Imprisonment; at a third trial
he was sentenced to fifty years' Impris
onment; u fourth trial reduced the term
to twenty years; a fifth to ten years,
and now, after six trials, White stands
legally acquitted. And yet there are
persons who cannot understand why
there Is lynch law In this country.
If those who defend the modern use
of the injunction as a weapon In the
conflict between labor and capital care
for consequences, they will not oppose
a reasonable restriction of this use by
net of congress and the state legisla
ture. It Is evident that unless tho
power of the equity courts In this direc
tion be circumscribed, the whole struc
ture of our Judlclnry will stand In peril.
Those resolutions of the St. Louis labor
congress are not Important In them
selves.but they become Important when
It Is realized that they voice tho thought
of at least seven American voters In
every ten.
m
The piopilety ot n general partici
pation by Republicans In today's coun

Interests of good government In Lack
awanna for the ensuing three years
call for a free and flank expression
of the will of the membership of the
majority party.

to a peaceful and law-abiding citizen like
oursclf. Wo might perhaps be Induced
to write editorials in favoi of a tiainlng

of the "Bur' shall fco kept sacred Don't
ask us to open them to the subject of
"long diivcrs," "singles," "baggcis," and
a lot of other gibberish In the bumo
line, that leads tho ordinary leader to be
llevo we are getting foolish. No, sir! We
want nothing to do with baso ball and Its
attending evils!
The "Bug" wishes to say a few words
In referenc to some choice town lots that
aro offeicd for sale In an "ad" in another

tho Glacier Park Lanil company is situ
ated high and dry. .Wo can assure our
leaders that there Is no malaria and no
mosqultos In the locality. The coal and
other minerals are not reserved and pur

Park Land company Is a reliable concern.
It consists of the editor of the "Bug" and

ending at peerless Jackson park, tha alts

Prom the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Tho Pennsylvania railroad has adopted
an excellent plan to cheapen transpoita
tlon, and the cheapening of transporta
tion Is tho one greatest need of this coun
try. Tho plan is simple. Tho carrying
capacity of cars is to bo doubled, tho
drawing power of locomotives la to bo
doubled, tho heavy trains are to bo con
trolled by automatic brakes. Result,
enormous saving In weight of rolling
stock, additional saving In power ex
pended In overcoming friction upon
curves, saving In wear of rails, which Is
In as direct proportion to the number of
wheels as to the weight of the load above
them.
o
A movement was begun in this dliec
tlon, led then by tho Pennsjlvanla road,
twenty years ago. Tho results were so
satisfactory that the Idea spread to all
Important railroad systems. The wonder
Is that It was not carried farther before
this. There havo been several achieve
ments In other branches of business, how
cver, within theso twenty years that
make it easier to make this extension
now. This is notably true of Bteel man
ufacture Heavier rails are needed for
heavier loads. Tho rail makers havo met
this part of the problem satisfactorily.
But tho steel manufacturers have done a
greater service than that. They have
made It possible to construct steel frame
cars, at small cost, giving tho required
additional strength without making a
proportionate Increase In tho weight of
tho cars.
o
The advantage ot the new construction
Is made nppaient In the estlmato of all
road authorities that It will leduco tho
cost of carrying freight to about 60 i tr
cent, of present cost. That Is an Item of
tremendous significance to producers and
consumers, as well as to carriers. It is
a matter of the utmost Importance to the
wholo country, for It means, when gen
erally adopted, an advantage that will
enablo American producers to compete
with tho world upon more favurable
terms.
o
Uvon this advance does not mean that
the limit has been reached. The time
should come soon when Buch corporations
as tho Pennsylvania railroad will per
ceive the advantage of a cement rcad
bed over tho present ballasted vvajs
when they will discover a cheap enough
process for making cement to wan ant its
use. On such a roadbed the weight of
cars can be doubled again. Dust will be
dispensed with without the troublo and
expense of sprinkling with oil. The ever
increasing cost of wooden ties will cease
to bo a problem and maintenance ot way
will be reduced to a fraction of the pres
ent outlay. All this means that another
20 or 30 per cent, can be taken from tho
cost of transportation for the Joint bene
lit of producers, consumers and handlers
of all clases of commodities a consum
mation devoutly to bo wished.
