Senator Ottaj. who has been criti

to lake up the Teller lcsolutlon de
claring that suwrnment bonds can he

this explanation of his vote.

It Is possible that "certain eastern
Republicans of wealth" would have no
wish to bolt their party this year If
thoe who ale recognized as leaders of
the party In the East did not permit
discredited lieutenants apparently to
force such a necessity upon them.

An Unfounded Scare.
The sugar trust. In Its fight against
Hawaiian annexation, hus sought to
prill t the feats of American grower a
i'f t:.e fugai- beet, by representing to
them that Hawaii as a part of the
United States would spdft their market.
The effort is Ingenious but the facts
do not bear it out. The figures cited
below are fiom th records of the Uni
ted States department of agikultuie:
"The average amount of sugar Im
poited Into the United States annually
ftorn l!!ia to 1S97, Inclusive, was 1,830,48.2
tons of '2.H0 pounds each, valued at
5111,57",.''. The Importation during
the flfcnl ycer ending June so, 1&07, was
4 CI.SJ: tons moie than the average of
the four piectdlng yeais, which was
1.7i"i.Vil7 ton, owing to the desire of
importer. to anticipate the elteet of the
tailff act pending in congress dutlr.g
the last months of tint yeai. The av
erage Importation of mtsur from the
Hawaiian Islands from ISM to 1S'j7, In
clusive, was 149,450 tuns, valued at
$!i.!7J,9:'I. The Importation for the tis
al year of 1S97 was 19J.50S tons, being
43,052 tons above the aveiago of the
in 'ci ding foui j ears. During 1S97 the
U.rvallnn sugar was i'.l per cent, of the
amount consumed In the United States.
Prom ISM to ISO It was 7.1 per cent,
e f our consumption.
"The licet sugar consumed In the
1'nlted States in 1S96 whs 18 per cent.;
In 1M7, it was 37 per cent, of the total
consumption. Tho disturbed condition
oi Cuba doubtless caused much of th'ls
markul Increase, but the beet sugars
Horn countries In continental Uurope
are thee from whleh we may expect
tho most active competition. The pro
duction of beet sugar In the United
States In 1897 was 41.347 tons of 2,210
pounds each; of cano sugar, 287,007
tons, of ir.aple sugar. .",000 tons, and of
i-orghum sugar, 200 tons. The total do
nestle product was 335,650 tons. The
total refined product of Imported sugar
was 1,760,007 tons, making the total an
nual consumption 2.09C.26J tons, From
the foregoing it appears that 84 per
tent, of the sugar consumed In the
United States was imported,
That an Importation from Hawaii of
between 7 and 9 per cent, of tho sugar
needed in the United States, upon
which freight for 2000 miles of water
haulage and an average of not less
thap 1000 mllps of land haulage would
have to bo a,dded to the cost of Initial
production, could seriously menace tho
dontcsllo beet sugar Industry, from
which the cost of 'transportation Is
practically eliminated, Is a supposition
veiy far-fetched. If the beet sugar In
dustry could not sur(vlye such a com
petition It would not deserve to live.
Resides, ujn, Hawaii a part of the
United States It would not be compe
tition in a largo sense, any mote than
beet sugar production In one state
competes with beet sugar production
in another. -

The Traction Company's Prosperity.
We obcrve In the Philadelphia
Ledger an ndvcitlsemcnt by J. W.
Clatk & Co. offering for salo certain
securities of the Scranton Railway
company, which "owns tho entire
street railway system of Scrantpn,
I'a." Tho point of Interest for Scran
tonlans In this adveitlscment Is em
bodied In the information that the gross
earnings of the company from all
sources for 1S97 were $360,325.42: tho
operating expenses, $179,974.10; the net
earnings- $1SC,331.02, or more than the
operating expenses; all fixed charges,
Including taxes, $1S.,170,3C; and the
surplus or profit for the year, J51.180.66,
or In round numbers 14 per cent, of the
cash business done.
In other woids, In a time of marked
depression In the general condition of
buslne", the Scranton Railway com
pany, operating In n territory necessi
tating longer than the average hauls
In communities of equal papulation,
has not only met from Its current re
ceipts the expenses of .operation and
tho considerable fixed charges, but has
turned the coiner with a margin of
profit cqunl to one-seventh of Its cash
iccelpts. On every nickel fare that It
collected In 1S97 the company cleared
even mills.
We call attention to these facts, first,
because It elves us pleasure to note
the success of local Institutions which
aie In the pursuit of legitimate busi
ness; secondly, because we deslte to
congiatulate General Manager Frank
Sllllman. Jr., upon this conspicuous evi
dence of bis administrative capacity;
and thirdly, becuue we now feel em
boldened to suggest to the officials of
this road that thev can well afford to
call In and make kindling wood of the
large number of filthy and disreputable
cats whleh they are at present operat
ing on a number of their lines cars
which It is an outrage to ask a decent
person to enter and also expend some
money In Hack lenalrs on lines like,
say, the Gieen Ridge People's, whleh
Is probably the worn stilp of tiollcy
roadbed In the United States.
The Washington Tost ftoths all over
Itself In Its effort to make believe that
Spain is doing its whole duty In Cuba.
Rut the Post piobably doesn't dcslie
to be taken seriously.
Unsatisfactory.
The official statement, printed In all
the papers yesterday, setting forth
the administration's Intentions with
refeience to Cuba, Is by no means
satisfactory. If the United States has a
moral duty to perform In Cuba, then
the Information as to Cuban conditions
furnished by our own diplomatic rep
resentatives in that Island shows that
we are nationally remiss In trying to
postpone Its effective performance.
If we have no duty theie then the
president should not talk as if he
thought we had. In either event. It
is not a matter for dalliance. Dither
Spain is right In its lule over Cuba or
It is Intolerably wrong. If right, we
plainly have no business to Interfere In
any wny, shape or manner, either
with criticism, suggestion or command.
If wtong, can the president defend
a polity of non-lntet venllon which, by
the sworn information of our own of
ficials in Cuba, not to mention volu
minous corroborative testimony, Is per
mitting hundreds of thousands of Cu
ban non-combatants to be starved to
death under circumstances of peculiar
shame and horror''
The fact stands formally confuted
and attested b the president and by
bis spokesmen on the floor of the house
that during two yeais under the regime
of Weyler, Snaln inflicted on Cuba u
dispensation of Infamy such as has
had no modern parallel. Condemnation
of Weylerlsm by McKlnley and Hltt Is
unspailiiEly seveie. These men alto
say that Weylerism stands approvjd
by a laig- and Inlluential element
among the Spanish people who may at
any moment be successful In le-lnstal-Ing
Weyler In power. They gie this
as the explanation of the ministerial
anxiety at Madrid and the recent anti-
autonomy tints at Havana. Yet they
want the Ainerleun people; to sit pa
tient while amidst these multlphing
menaces Sagasta and lilinco held out
to the unstaived Cuban remnant the
rham promise of Impossible compro
mise, following up hole-ale assassina
tion with attempted wholesale decep
tion. They want us to Indulge both
Spain and Cuba in what we know Is a
fnlse hope, apparently for no other
reason than to keep a disgraceful nom
inal peace.
If we me to wash our hands cf the
whole Cuban matter and let war, fam
ine and pestilence do as thev will In
tho Pearl of tin Antilles, all right; but
let us at least be honest about It. Let
us not piate in one breath about imral
responsibility and In the n?xt cry halt
to eery effort to cause that resnon
tlbillty to be effectively accepted.
In the New Yotk legislature Senator
Ellsworfh has Introduced a bill which
"provides that any person who as prin
cipal or agent conducts or engages In
the business of editing, publishing,
printing, selling, distributing or circu
lating any licentious, Indecent, corrupt,
depraved or libelous paper, or a paper
which corrupts, depraves, degrades or
Injures the mlnda or morals of the pub
lic or Its readers or of the people among
whom It circulates, Is guilty of n mis
demeanor and upon conviction of any
such offense shall be punished by a
fine of not more than $1,000 or by Im
prisonment for not moro than one year,
or by both fine and Imprisonment for
tho first offense, and upon conviction
of uny subsequent offense shall be pun
ished by Imprisonment of not less than
one year nor moro than five years, or
In adultlon theieto the defendant and
his agents and employes shall bo pro
hlblted from thereafter publishing,
printing, selling or distributing such
papers or any paper of the same name."
The passage of this bill should be fol
lowed by tho enactment of another
compelling those eligible to Jury ser

display visible symptoms of common

Help tltc Home.
Probably no Institution In this region
so closely touches the sympathetic feel
ing of the people as does the Home
for the Friendless, which for twenty
five years has been the kindly ehclter
of aged and feeble women, upon whom
the hand of adversity has fallen heav
ily, has stretched gentle nrms to the
little children, who have come unloved
Into a cold woild, and has welcomed
the other little ones, who, though ten
derly treasured, have been brought
thither by heart-broken widowed moth
ers or by desolate and forlorn fathers,
from whose home the light has gone
out forever, nnd who were powerless
to give the needed care. It Is
a woik which appeals strongly
to even the Indifferent nnd one
In which Interest once nwakened
never (lags. It Is with regret that tho
public will learn of the sore straits In
which the management of this worthy
charity finds Itself placed. A heavy
mortgage Is resting on the Adams ave
nue property, which It has been ex
pected would find a purchaser long be
fore this date. The new structure Is
almost ready for occupancy, but an
accumulation of debt to tho amount of
$20,000 embarrasses those who have bo
long tolled In the hope of seeing the
increasing family safely and comfort
ably housed. To place a mortgage on
the new property Is to be deprecated,
and to avoid this prompt assistance is'
needed. This Is an appeal which comes
very close to tho hearts of the com
munity. Money Is wanted to tide over
Immediate necessities. It is asked by
the managers that the newspapers take
up this cause at the present and help
the Homo by their support. The
Tribune gladly accedes to this request
and urges the genctous people of this
town to send In their subscriptions at
once to Mis. D. D. Taylor, treasurer of

AS ADMINISTRATION MEASURE
Prom the New York Sun.
It is well for eery Republican senator
to remember that the only distinctive
administration measure now before con
gress Is the Hawaiian annexation treatv.
Ihcre is nothing else of a"y Importance
that comes straight from the executive
to congress, marked with the president's
recommendation and attended By his
earnest and anxious desires. Mr. McKln
ley has put his annexation treaty In the
first place of urgency.
Annexation Itself Is much more than
nn administration measure; much more
than a party measure. The demand for
It Is tho cxpreoslon of an Americanism
which Is high above any consideration
of partisanship. But this treaty In par
ticular, designed to effect tho annexa
tion of Hawaii at once nnd In the man
ner preferred by the president and his
secretary of state. Is peculiarly Identi
fied with the present administration,
and Its success or failure will stand In
history as the most conspicuous event of
Mr. McKlnley's term In the white house.
Its success or failure will depend upon
Republican votes. Its rejection by Re
publican otes in the senate would be a
direct repudiation of the foremost meas
ure of administration policy by the Re
publican senators so voting.
AWAY WITH FALSE PRIDE.
Fiom the Ehnlra Advertiser.
It seems clear now that hundreds of
thousands of lives might have been
saved In Cuba If our government had
recognized the Insurgents as belliger
ents even so lately as one year ago.
Tho most horrible state of things known
to modern hlstoty exists In Cuba and
its ghastly details are undisputed. It
need never have come to pass If our gov
ernment had done a simple act of justice
toward the insurgents by recognizing
them officially. That has been the one
thing against which the Spanish hae
fought harder than' against Cuba Itself,
and with far more success. Whether jus
tice shall be done at last remains with
the Republican majority In the house to
determine. The Democrats aro right In
urging recognition and It Is to be hoped
that no nentlment of false pilde will
stand In the way of action by tho major
ity party which shall In some mcasuro
rescue the American name fiom the re
proach which Is gathering over It for
permitting 400,000 persons, cnlclly old
men. women and children, to bo des
troyed under tho very eyes of the Amer
ican people without moro than a mere
protest from tho government of that peo
ple. It Is a most extraordinary spec
tacle and It Is lamentable that Dcrrr.o
cratlo congressmen should, for any rea
son, bo more anxious, to end It man their
political opponents seem to be.
