In voclferous iicrs. Phut, the loudest of the assailants of our iircotit excellent currency no the rieveland-worshlppInK free traders who naturally nbhor the Hepubllcan pollcv of iiiotectlon and want to llx up i'iiif Iiokum excuse for the WIlMin Mll't dlsastious failure. If by a blK nolso now they can btampede congress Into disci editing our greenback curren cy, they can hereafter ursue that It MM the greenback lnstid of the Wil son bill tKv. threw down their great Idol, C.rover; and Republicans, by complicity In the greenbacks retire ment, will be weakened In their power of denial. Secondly, only a small percentage of the leal business men of the country me on recoid with objections against the ciiirency ot today, every dullir of which, whether paper or silver. H cvei y v here reconled as being fully .is good as gold. Tblidly, while Hopublicans are will ing to admit that something In the wav of additional legislation Is desir able to facilitate the establishment of national banks in small communities wheic not much more than S23.000 cap ital cin piofltaljlv be employed in bank lug operations, it simply Is a bold im tiuth which thi Mugwumps offer when they al'.lrm that with adequate federal revenues the gieenback has ever b'en or Is likely ever to lie a source of dan ger to the national credit. Foiuthly. the manufaituie of a false Ifui of cm it rev lefnim at this time, when the country W just beginning to ooiivalesie fiom an attack of Mug wump legislation. Is a menace to the real interests of the tountiy which (onset .Uie public opinion should sternly halt. The Hepubllcan paity In congress at the approaching session will do well to keep clear of Mugwump pitfalls. It is all very well to re-open the subject of a new Anglo-American treaty of m Miration; but the suiest guarantee of peace with honor will continue to be an cnlaiged and Im proved navy. m H wall and Cubs. 'On I he oe of the approaching ' slon, both congtes and the executive," lemarks the Philadelphia I-odger, "seem i "solved to consummate the in detenslble Hawaiian sclieme. The .m liodtlon of this seml-lurbarous teni tory with Its mixed and densely illit eiate native and Imported Oriental pop ulation of a bundled thousand and mote, and Its population of only a couple of thousands ot Amei leans, will mark a radical departure from the wise and safe polii y of our government, carefully obserxed from Its foundation, to avoid foielgn "ntpngllng alliances and teirltorlal acquisitions. Having mnde this had beginning, no one can confidently nrcllct where our leaching out for n"w tenitory will end. The continental pollcv, which our wisest anil best statesmen have so sedulously Fnfegucrdtd uo to this time, will, be cast to the winds when the present ad ministration shall have perfected lis puipcso to annex this and probablv other far distant and widely separated pcsseislons. The plan Is fiultful of llllmitabU expenditures fo- fleets, ar mies, fortlllcations and guns necessary to the defeno" of the distant teirltoiles we aie likely to acquire in confoimltv with this initial denartute from wise, pourd pilneiples and policies.' Contiast with this narrow and queru lous uttirance the btoad view taken by Tnltid States Judge Grosscup In a speech delivered Wednesday evening In Chicago before the Baptist congios. Judgo Otossrup's inimedlate theme was CuUi, but In the following woids he sounded the tiue Amciican policy coi.cernlng both Cuba and Hawaii: "1 am opposed," said he, "to the an nexation of Cuba for one leasou, bo cause the rcople of Cuba have not yet proposed It. The situation is dlf feieiit fiom that of Hawaii. There the dominating influence of the Island Is the American, compact, cohesive, fully tempered and ttsUd In the crucible of time. Annexation la Hawaii Is a policy springing fiom the body of lis Intelligent people, and worked out In a lime of peace. Ifullv appioved again and again, alter years of a calm sui vey, It jeprrsents the il 'liberate thought nrd puiiio-e ni thusj who by supeilor liutuio and Intelligence constitute the governing elapses of the Island. The I'linoxatlon of Hawaii Is the adoption of a child arrived at mature ago and urder no stress or lestialnt, and with out a protest from the world. Cuba, on the other hand, has few Anglo-Saxons and fewer Amu leans. There is there ro class In eor.ttoi v virtue of superior IntelllEenee. There has been no dellhci'itlou upon annexation, and there has been uo free choice, tested and approved throii7h the changes und vicissitudes of time. Under the strain cf this awful conflict, she would come to us, If she cania at all, only as an es cape from her Spanish mother. We do not know and cannot know the real wish of tho Cuban peonlo until ut least she has had time herself to know her own htart." Can there bo anv reasonable doubt as to which of them' views coincides with bioad nnd liberal statesmanship? We think not. Don't take any stock In tho story that Sagasta will seriously try to pun ish Weyler. Sagasta has tiouble enough as It Is. In tho very ifletrotudls of cultured Now JJnglard, within the purlieus of njmllable Hoston, at1 the last election more than SOOO citizens disclosed their Inability to mark their ballots In con formity with law. A com so In ballot marking mny yet have to be Included In the curriculum ol tho Uoston pub lic schools. It has Jqt been proved that tho pres ent Democratic Judgo of the Missouri court of npps.vls for the St, Lculs dis trict virtually bought his election by IKiylng $1,000 In cash to gat his 1'opullat competitor out of the way, and by agreeing to malte him court renarter, which agreement has been fullltled. Hut It Isn't likely that Hie Missouri Democracy w III mind a little thing like that. Jurors and Capital Pun'shtnent. In tho course of tin address to tho Juiy In a ceitaln muroer case on trial at Hoch?stiT, N. Y., the district attor ney of Monioe county commented pointedly the other day on the dispo sition of many citizen- to ovoid ser vice as lurors In murder cnsei Ho is quoted In the Democrat and ChronlcU to tho effect that lurors weie not re sponsible for the making or Intel pi eta tlon of the laws; that their duty began and ended with a careful nnd unbiased welshing of the evidence. He Is fur ther quotd as follows: "When I listen to men say that they have this preju dice nnd that prejudice, I stand nnd look at them. Has a man a light to avoid the duties of citizenship because he hlds r. theoretical opinion? Suppose one of the men who Bat here and was examined for this Jury awoke at night and found a burglar In his hous", nnd, to escape, the Intruder shot to death his wile or child, what would he cay If I l of used, as district attorney, to prosecute the murderjr? He would say I was unfit for the oillce. But I would bo no mi re unlit than a man who ques tions the law. It is n result of the de sire to escape duty on the Jury or to pniley with a sentiment that Is dunger ous to the safety of an community." t'pon the unierstandlng that these remaiks were Intended to apply to thrse elMzens summoned for July duty who claim to have conscientious scru ples against becoming parties to a con viction Involving the death penalty, the Democrat and Chronicle edltoiially takes Issue against them, saying: The impioprlety and folly of requiring a citizen, who has dtliberuttly and Intel ligently leached the conclusion that the state has no light to take human life, to serve as a Juror in a murder case, hue been recognized by the .four's as well ns by tho public. A person honestly holding Hint conviction should mantiillv maintain it In the court room as well as eUertherc. The fact that a ma Jorllj of the legislature and the governor thought otheiwlse would be no wan ant for an attempt on the part of any court to force him to become a party to what he regards as an official homicide. If he does not believe In capital punishment, and is asked to btate h s position on the question, tluro Is but one answer for him to make He must say "No" It Is not necessary in this connection to discuss the ethics or the expediency of cnpltal punishment. Tile fact stands t tint, a laige, and. we believe, an In creasing number of citizens not only ar- opposed to it, but refuse to have any responsibility for the application of that penalty for crlmo to a human being. Among those who hold these convictions aie m my whose standing as men and clt'zens cannot be inpi ached In cases of this character they have a right to de mand that their scruples shall be respect- id, ns they invariably are by the courts. Of eoutse It is also obvious to counsel for the state In the prosecution of capi tal cases that they cannot afford to ac cept as Jurors cltlrens who would have to stifle their convictions to bring in a verdict for the state. They may he told that they ale not le'sponslblo for the penalty, that all they have to pass upon Is the question of guilt or innocence; but that will not ntlsf n man who be lleves if lie should bring In a verdict of guilty ho would bo consigning a fellow man to a fate which. In his Judgment, It Is not within the jurisdiction of any human tribunal to Inflict. It Is unlikely that discussion of these points w 111 alter any man's convictions w Ith reference to them; but we must say that the citizen who asks to be excused fiom service as a Juror be cause of his disbelief In the lustlce of capital punishment, yet who pays taxes for the purchase of rope and the building of scaffolds, Is Inconsistent. The duty to pay taxes Is not a greater duty than the duty to .serve when sum moned as a Judge of evidence. In neither case Is the responsibility upon the Individual citizen for the manner in which the law applies the taxes or the Jury verdict to the punishment of the convicted muiderer. The opponent of the death penalty cleanses his skirts of moial accountability when he ex hausts the reasonable means within his nowcr to convert to his view a majoilty of his fellow citizens and theieby to change the legislation of his state. When he peimlts his scruples to cairv him beyond this line he Is guilty of tiepass upon the rights of others; of shirking his duty as a pait ner In the commonwealth; and instead of being applauded he should be con demned. Nine Amei leans In every ten favor the annexation of Haw-all. And the tenth man cannot offer coherent rea sons for oproslng It. It Is manifest destiny. A D III on and a S"nr. The action of the Citizens' Union of Now York In deciding to continue as a peimanent city organization Is herald, ed In some quarteis as a wonderful stroke for good government and a great blow at be.sslsm; but this view of the matter Is obviously superficial. The Citizens' lTnlon cannot maintain Itself as a peimanent organization without adopting the same Ideas of discipline, the same lesponslveness to Individual leadership, which It makes the ba3ls of Its revolt from the Repub lican paity; and the moment It be comes simply a rival machine, Repub licans heretofore Identified with It will natuially prefer the legular Hepubll can machine and Democrats in Its membership will go back to Tam many. It Is out of the question for a per manent organization to maintain Itself with any force In an American city upon the principle that while state and federal governments are lit objects of partisan contention, municipal gov ernments are not. Citizens of the average kind, having In their make up merely the oidlnary manifestations of human nature, will not be satisfied to bo Republicans or Democrats two thirds of tho time und nnn-partlcuns the remaining thlid. The Citizens' Union must unite Ub following all along the lino and keep them united !n a disciplined phalanx of partisan Non Partisans or It will find that that fol lowing will gradually drift beyond Its control. The secret of success In every movement appealing to large bodies of , men Is enthusiasm nnd discipline; , these cannot bo encouraged In munlcl- , pal elections along tho non-partisan line while In state and national con tests the field Is abandoned to the doc trine of political partisanship. No advocate of non-partisanship In municipal affairs has to our knowl edge yet unfolded a plan with plaus ible and promising details whereby the machinery of party may be discarded In state and federal elections In favor of spontaneous, non-partisan popular uprisings. In no liberal government In the world Is the party system absent. That party lines may be moie easily relaxed In the government of minor municipalities than In the government of states and of the nation Is con ceded; but that there Is more urgent need of an absolute Ignoring of nil party ties In the government of a municipal empire like Greater New York, with Its 3,C00,000 souls, than In the government of the state of Now Yoik or the state of Pennsylvania or the state of little Nevada, with a population less than that of Providence and Hyde Park, does not appear. Yet the Citizens' Union proposes this un natural, Indeed, this piactlcally Im possible dlvoice, nnd asks Republicans to join with It In making war upon a great stronghold of Republican Inllu ence and power. This proposition of Mugwumpery Is a delusion and a snare. In his address at Chattanooga Mon day General Roynton predicted within thp lifetime of Confederate and Union veterans a foreign war by which North and South would be completely reunit ed under tho pressure of a common pati lotlsm nnd a common peril. Where does General Roynton find the mater ials for this gruesome belief? A proposition submitted In Maryland at the recent election to extend the civil service law over state Institu tions was defeated by 80,000 majority. Here Is a pointer for a certain class of overenthuslastlc reformers. PecatiFp his wife, to provoke him. whistled Sousa's "Liberty Bell" march for four consecutive days and nights, Cndftev Warburton, of Tcnafly, N. J., accotdlng to report, blackened her eye. Was he lustlfled' Assistant Secretary Roosevelt's Idea, boiled dow n, is that should war come, which heaven forbid, Uncle Sam's navy ought to be In shape to strike an effect ive first blow. It is sound sense. Senator Penrose denies that Senator Quay has made any deal concerning the political battle next year. Roth senatoi's evidently concede that 189S Is likely to bo a people's year. The Details of a Remarkable Career Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. Americans havo better reasons than most of them suppose for thinking at .1 speaking kindly of Dr. Thomas W. !3v aits, the tamous dentist whose di atli In 1'arls occur! ed a few days ago. . Kv jus hat been known chiefly on account of his great wealth, estimated at be tween $2(1,000,000 and 30,000(XW, his inti mate association, professional and per sonal, with most of the royal families of Rurope, and tho assistance ho ren deied the Rmpress Eugenie in making her escape from Paris and France at the fall of tho empire. Rut It is not to bo supposed that Dr. Kvans' remarkable career and success were due to a meru spirit of toadyism und servility. He was a typical American In all that the term Implies, in manliness and patriotism as well as In energy, skill and shievvdness. When he was a young man he was ad vised to go to Chicago to begin his ca lecr, nnd did make a journey, under tho discouraging conditions then existing, to the young metropolis of tho West. He met Abraham Lincoln at Springfield on that visit, but was not favorably Im pressed with tho .idcago outlook and returned Dast. o He went to Paris In 1SIG and soon established his reputation there, llnuing his clients among tho distinguished ami tho wealthy. This was chiefly due to the skill ho displayed In his work. It was not long before his services as a den tist were required by the members of all the royal families from Paris to St. Petersburg. The close personal iclatlons established by his professional work were confirmed by his tact and lino qualities as a man, and for fifty years he has maintained his standing In tho higher circles of Ktirope, accumulating a vast " riune and contributing generously of i vialth to every cause designed to im I no society nnd relievo the suffering. Mrs. Rvans, his wife, was a noble and accomplished lady to whom ho was de votedly attached. They had no children, and much of their time and effmts, as well as their means, were devoted to tho good of otheis. Dr. Kvans' wife found ed, with the eo-opeiatlon of her hus band, tho Lafayette Home for. Young American Women In Paris. This insti tution was designed to furnish plensant quarteis for the numerous young Amer ican women who go to Paris to study art. It is a noble and beneficent Institu tion. The rooms are rent free nnd only u small sum Is charged for board. Rven that Is not required In exceptionally de serving cases. o Despite his long resilience In Paris Dr. Lvans nlvvavs remained a loyal and pa ' trlotle Amerlenn It Is this featuro of his choiacter and career which deserves spe cial mention. He was not one ot those who expatriate themselves In spirit as well as In peron, While he was In this country a few weeks ago he said that dining his absence from his native land he had "remained an American citUen and a loyal and earnest one " Tho Dm- peror Louis Napoleon offered him a seat In the French senate nnd the post of an ambassador if he would renounce alleg iance to our government and become a citizen of Trance. These honors he de clined. It was li's fortune to bo per sonally or professionally associated with somo extraordinary historical events. Wo have already referred to his agency In facilitating the flight of the Empress Eugenie, from Paris In 1870 Another In cldent was his part In prolonging tho life of Crown Princo Prederlck when the latter was dying from cancer of tho throat until after the death of tho Em peror William, so that Frederick was em peror of Germany for thirty days, and his wife Is now the empress dowager. He was called In by the eminent profession al men In charge of the case, and when tho operation of tracheotomy was per formed and the patient was In danger of bleeding to death Dr. Evans pro posed and with his own hands made the s'lver tubo by means of which Frederick's life was prolonged. WU'CIK'ltAI T VS. SCIENCE. From the Philadelphia Press. Witchcraft In Albany, tupeistltlon at Scranton simply Indicate how hard It is to overcome tho Inertia of Ignornnco. Doubtless many might believe in witch craft und do themselves no very seilous harm, and If a wet and discolored plaster wall effects a euro It mlht bo said go much tho better, Rut U Is tho general view of tho sanest ond most truly relig ious that we have made life safer nnd brighter and better, disease less pt ova tent and more curable as we havo out grown tho witchcraft period of clvillii Hon and havo refused to engender mira cles out of chance annarltlons and an ef fervescent credulity. Neither religion nor mornls aro permanent gainers through Influences that appeal only to prlmltlvo Instincts. Nfl ST0PPI.NQ AA1ERICA. From tho Hlmlra Advertiser. Tho man must be very obtuse or very unpatriotic who does not perceive tho enoimous gain madu by America dutlng Iho last year In her pr.stlgc among thu nations. And it Is the gloty of tho statu that It has been gained In the best ways, Tho struggles among competing nations nre becoming less military and sanguin ary and more coirintrclnl than lu any for mer age. Supremacy Is not sought In neutral markets by force of arms, but by exccller.co ard cost of goods. Navies are not maintained for vvus among rivals, but rather for tho protection of estab lished trade. The wa to supplant u com petltor Is no longer the method of seiz ing her ships or her colonies and taklns her btslness by force, but lather by ex celling In abundance and quality and cheapness, by surpasrlrg In attiactlve ncss and desirability of trade. o No one need study too carefully the trade Journals nor too patiently piruse the government ippuits to learn what Is the Influence and position of our count! y In this inarch of civilization. For ears tho thoughtful have been rredlctlng that our devotion to the arts of peace, tho spectacle of a nation mightily expanding tluough the cultivation of the Industrial spirit, happy in the concord and amazing fteedom of her citizens, free from the bur dens of militarism that weigh so heavily on other nations, must transform the world, Tho tlmo has come already. Never have the Illimitable- lesources of this land so much improved the world ns In this current year. Invincible at home, ho is reaching out benellcent hands filled with blessings to mankind. o She Is teaching all rivals that com pete that her goods are the best and the cheapest ever known, the ptoducts of it people Ignorant of false distinctions of caste, but working with such freedom as is consistent with individual liberty and securing universal Intelligence by main taining the best common schools in the world. It Is no wonder that the great re public is rapidly rui passing all other peo ples. Tho reluctant admission comes to us from every quarter. English and Ger man authorities admit the truth. French experts cannot deny It. The gianary of tho world Is here. The factory of the world also Is American. The conscripted masses of Europe are stirred to emulate the freedom of which they have dreamed, but have never krown. They peicelve' its realization In America, and their voli.es ore rising with ever increasing volume to demand like privileges for themselves. Eighty millions of people living In com foit. enjoilng the abundant rights of citi zenship and filling the world's maikets constitute an argunent that is overturn ing all ancient Ideas. Since our financial Integrity was a"suied and our labor pro tected bej ond cavil, our nation has sprung forward with a mighty impetus that noth ing can step. The domestic assailants, of our prosperity may lcjolce over an ap parent icactlon beie and there, but such nre only eddies in the- resistless rut rent which bears on its bosom tho destinies of the people Iho threat of national dis honor has ot its power to disturb or alarm. Tho people have had a sulll cient experience of Democratic states manship to last them for a generation, and they will not stay their Impressive march by turning the government over to tho unspeakable rrew that now domln. ate the alleged party of Jefferson. WHAT CUH.WN WANT. From tho New York Sun. Any nttempt of our stato department to persuade the Cubans to accept at the hands of Spain anj thing short of abso lute political Independence is foredoomed to miscarry, for e-ven stronger leasons than those which rciuleied futile a similar effort on the part of the Cleveland ad ministration. The Cubans are determined to perish or to bo fiee, and all that they ask of us as friends of liberty Is that we shall recognize them as belligerents, thereby asurlng to them the power of in creasing their financial resources, and of placing of a fleet upon the ocean. After neaily thue je-ars of warfare, they hive a moral right to ask of us what wo grant ed to Chili nnd Venezuela long before we acknowledged the Independence of those countries. The Cubans aro fully alive to the fact that Chill had no chance of defending heiself against the Spaniaids, much lews of liberating Peiu, until she gained an orportunlty of creating a i.avy. That opportunity came to Chill under tho law of nations when tho United Stales and England recognized her as a bellig erent. It Is for Just this privilege that the Cuban revolutionists now plead; noth ing less, and for the moment nothing more. NEED OP HOME .MISSIONS. From the New York Sun.
