Pence Within Sight. Onp of tlm niojt significant pieces of information relntlng to Cuba published In several months wns the Now York Ti Hume's announcement yesterday of u meeting of the Radical wins of tho Autonomist, party In Havana, attended by three innmbets of the piesent nuton omlst cabinet ami nppioved by a fourth, i't which It was resolved that the "col onial government" should formally sub mit tho following proposition to the lntnirAenta: Flrt Tin- volunteers wl'l be dissolved and it Cuban militia loinied. Second The insurgent colonels and sen. cralM will be recognized. Third-Culm will lie calli-d upon lo pay i nly turn 000.000 out of the JO'W.WO.OOO In debtcdness due for both wars. Fourth Cubn will pay J.'.OOO.OOO a year for Hie Crown list. Fifth-Cuba will make her own tmitles without interference by tho Madtld gov ernment. Sixth Simniih products will have only u in per cent, margin of protection over hlmtlar ptodticts from otlur countries. Suiontli No exiles or deportutloni will be mode, even hi war time, to Spain, Afrlia. or lo penal settlements elsewhere. Eighth Death sentences for rebellion shall be abolished. Ninth Martial law cannot be ordered bv the captain puniral without the us MMit of both the house niul the senate If those bodies are In session, or without 1 lie assent of a nifilorlt of the cabinet If they aro not in session. Tenth-t-The Archbishop of Santiago do Cuba sluill always be a native Cuban. Eleventh The actual insurgent pnrtv shall have three seats in the lirst cabinet. Twelfth An aunlstlce ol fifteen days will be granted for the illscus-sion of the terms of peace. It will be perceived this concedes to tin C'llian i evolutionists evevy mater ial point tor which they have contended except the outilght recognition of the Cuban lepubllc. Our New Yotk contem porary's Information Is that this pro position has been accepted by all but llii-v or four meinbeis of the Autono mist i arty. Whether it has also the as icnt of Spain, Is not disclosed, but Spain would doubtless be very glad to let go of Culm on these terms if she could get from the insurgents so favor- oiable an opportunity. 1 nfoitunately for the consummation of tills hope, th" Insuigtnt leaders have ratified a sol emn pledre that nothing but Indepen dence shall disuade them from their piesent couise. liming shown their ii'iillt;. to wear Spain out It Is unlikely that they will now compromise on any basis short of the coinplet" ftedoni to which they asplte. if it shall piow true that th t clonlal government ul Cuba has ma le or is about to make such a prnfter to tho insurgents the government of the Fulled Stutef will naturally lie justl ll"d In awaiting the insurgent!,' ieply. If that reply shall be acceptance our duty will then be limited to securing adi quale pioU'cllon for American com mercial Interests In Cuba. Hut 1' the ieply of the Insui gents shall be a Hut rejection then It seems to iw that the t dmlulstration at Washington i.hould lnto.-ene Immediately, along tlie fol lowing lines: (lj. i'.eciignltlnn of the Cuban lepub llc. 1 1).

For one reasun or another the Repub licans of Pennsylvania have not made It their practice in recent years to re gard with especial seriousness the po litical pastures of their former lleld irainhal, Hon. Thomas V. Cooper, of Delaware. Yet Mr. Cooper, fair play for hini, Is one of the cleareat-vlslonecl pollllolnns of his day, who has made tho history of politics a life study and who may be laughed at by the un thinking and still be all there. Thus in his latest exploit us a trust-rmash-ii'B candidate for governor, while his Immediate purpose may be one of a UtiaVn' 'conjectural things, the inevit able effect of his argument for "busi ness equality." which Is the shibboleth iffi Ills campaign, will be to fix that sub ject moie firmly than ever In the pub lic mind, and In a measure re-open the Vfixlnp problem of the corporations, the combines and the trusts. Mr. Cooper's Idea, so far as he has yet outlined it, liT as follows, using his own words: -It Is a profound conviction with me, one growing with years and obser vation,. that'-tn6"l'ohdltl6n of the ntate ujQ,d country invites a struggle for a nuw emiajdfy, sucf p. struggle us the Ilej.ub Ifmn party beBt knows how to conduct, with freedom from dangerous prejudices ns)l practices, and with no thought but ffflf the public welfare. I refer to the nerd of, all our business people, nnd this includes tall fho work with hand or brain, foVu form of equality which shall place each and all who desire it upon the earne footing a corporations touching capital and credit. I would gtvo to each and evcryono legally capable of conduct ing business the ono right which makes corporations safe and attractive tho right of limited llnblllty upon capital Invested In bushies, which It honcs.tly lost, Is all that I lost, and the man and his family saved for future enterprises. Give to all In luslne equal opportuni ties before the law, nlid It will glvo the merchant, manufacturers, farmers, ar tisans and even the professions n safer leaso on business life and prosperity. Proceeding to elaborate this thought Mr. Cooper adds: What maken life insurance popular and valuable? Tho knowledge that tho amount thus Invested Is guarded by law from attachment for debts. What mnkns corporate slocks sell? Tho knowledgo thutwecan participate In a business with out other loss than the Block Itself In the event of disaster. What lntluenco H decimating our mercantile, manufactur ing and farming classes? That which pushes them forever out when they fail, nnd competition with thoso better pro tected makes falluies all too frequent. A fnllure of the Individual sttlps him of all, unless he protects himself through fraud, and an ever-pressing Inequality excuses tho fraud In many minds. The corporatedehtor Is free, the trust debtor is free and forever unknown, the Individual Is hunted down to the last ?30O. Wound u merchant, and tho wound Is fatal, his business life Is done; wound the owner of stock nnd ou strike that alone; his energies and Investments go on. What can a governor do to set nrlght these existing Inequalities? Mr. Cooper replies: Ho can recommend a proper enabling act convejing to all who deslro limited liability, nnd asking that It bo hedged by such restrictions as will Improve rath er than Impair business credit. Just as liberal limited co-partnership acts have Improved credit In England, and there they control moie than half the business transacted. The act should bo guarded as good corporate acts are guarded, tt should require at least sworn annual statements, filed In proper city or coun ty ofllces, showing capital Invested, liabil ities, etc., nil open to tho business world. Every local newspaper, letter nnd bill head and the large business directories, would give a synopsis of these state ments, and business transactions would everywhere be facilitated. A governor could require bis attorney general to prosecuto dangerous trusts under tho common law; he could discover them through the secretary of Internal af fairs, the Insurance and banking com missioners. The public sentiment which would nominate and elect such a governor would control tho legislature, and win half of the inevitable battle with syndi cates and trusts. Undeniable as it Is that much of the ndo which has In late years been made against tho growing tendency of capi tal to consolidate, mnsslng tremendous power Into tho hands of the few and leaving the many almost defenseless against Imposition and extortion, has been raised ignorantly nnd with no well-defined conception of an effica cious remedy, yet It Is equally unde niable that the- tendency must sooner or later be subjected to legal safe guarding and restraint. When the Indi vidual business man, through no fault of his own, Is threatened with extinc tion by the giant force of a great com bine of rivals operating behind the privileges and immunities of a charter, we have presented a situation in our mercantile life which Is essentially un wholesome, nor Is it the part of wis dom for the masses to sit back nnd await In patience the gory conclusion of the unequal combat. There must be some adjustment of the law which will protect the weak Instead of con ferring new and dangerous strength upon the already strong. Otherwise It will have eventually to be admitted that democracy or equality before the law has ceased to characterize the govern ment of the United States and from the decadence of It may safely be pre dicted dire results In the nation's futuie. The proposition advanced by Mr. Cooper is one that haw often been dim ly outlined In the public's desire. It ought at least to vitalize the contem potary discussion of this theme. Hegln the political record of 1898 to morrow with a clean entry of local Re publican victory. An Encouraging Sign. One somewhat significant conse quence of the introduction in the Ohio legislature lecently of a bill to estab lish a system of compulsory medical examination for couples desiring to wed lias been the disposition upon the pait of ninny commentators to, con sider the subject seriously. We have been accustomed to .see propositions of this kind received bumptiously or with ridicule by most persons save those whom the mass of mankind denomi nate "cranks"; and It therefore Is note worthy that on this occasion there aie a goodly number of appaiently rational human beings not connected with the medical profession or otherwise biased who deem it worth while to express their opinions upon the subject with earnestness and dignity. It Is very true that some of the worst fitted candidates for the responsibilities of the parental relation are men and, les.s frequently, women who could easily pass muster with regard solely to their bodily health. Defects of dis position and mind and temperament nr less readily ascertained than Is the kind of defects against which the Ohio legislator's bill Is chiefly aimed. But if a starting point Is ever to be taken by society In the protection of itself from the multiplying evils arising from abuse of Its most impoitant relation) it will need to be the one which It has already occupied In reference to another great evil; viz., the provision for a quarantine at ports of Immigration of persons ailllcted with dangerous dis eases. So long as society tolerates the con dition in which It finds itself today, that Is to say, a condition which on the one hand makes light of martial In fidelity In the man, with all that that Implies, and, on the other, leaves tho depraved, the diseased and the outcast free to perpetuate and Increase their species In kind, the problem of vice and crime In all its sickening bearings will continue to loom up before it, getting steadily woise instead of bet ter. It may be, and probably Is, true that the best way to get at this cancer on the body politic Is not through leg islation; but at all events tt Is some thing to know that the subject is re ceiving for almost the first time in ie cent years a certain measure of In telligent public consideration. It has too long been held under the screen of a mischievous modesty that strains at gnats while swallowing camels. In anticipation of annexation Hon olulu la filling up with Yankee immi grants obeying Horace Greeley's ad- vice, and all the portents point to a lioom. Ferlmps this Is Inevitable, but we advise tho substantial cltlrcnH of Hawaii to ro slow In the matter of booms If they would escape from set ting tangled up in the recoil. Lost year tho Methodist Hook con corn on a totul business done of J2, 000,000 mode a profit of $231,000. As the book business goes this is decidedly a good showing, but it Is fnr from com plimentary to the American people's taste Hint the average percentage of profits of American breweries In tho same year was nearly twice ns large. The Cuban Junta In Now York has received Its first consignment of cigars made under the authority of the Cuban republic. A liberal distribution of these among the authorities at Washington would doubtless soon evoke a recogni tion of Cuban belligerency and a call for ambulances. In n test case the Supreme court of the district of Columbln hnB just held that none but the subscriber for a tele phone has the right to use his 'phone If the telephone company mnke3 ob jection to a larger use. It will soon be In order to revise the adage that "tulk is cheap." According to Captain Mahan the power which gets Hawaii first gets a cinch on the control of the North Faclflc for all time to come. Then let congress hnsten to close the pending deal, since useless delay would simply cast suspicion on Its own Intelligence, Tho lines entitled ' Plant Trees," re cently credited on this page to ex Secretary of Agriculture J. Sterling Morton, the oiiglnator of Arbor Day, were not written by him. Their au thor, wo now learn, Is Mr. Henry A1 bey, of Kingston, N. Y. Oosslp again asserts that President Sloane, of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, is soon to retire. Inas much as he Is not immortal this story will necessarily be verified some time, but In the meantime the liars ought to give him a rest. It Is some consolation to know that the London Spectator frankly recog nizes the moral right of the United States government to serve a writ of ejectment on Spanish occupation of Cuba. Kx-Chalrman Cooper evidently wants Governor Iinree to understand .that there are other trust-smashers in the push. The need of a little good manhood in France is becoming painfully evident as the Zola trial progresses. The successor of de Lome will earn his salary. TOLD BY THE STARS.

SO.MF.THING was said in this corre spondence a short lime ago of the Dlngley law as relates to revenue production. It was snown that the receipts of the treasury depart ment have rapidly Increased since the n jw law went into effect and are now reaching almost a million dollars a day, which average sum, when fuly realized, will ro sufficient to meet tho ruunins expenses ot the tovernment. There Is another feature ot the workings of the new law which Is equally gratifying and Interesting, it was Insisted by Its oppo nents during the time ot Its considera tion that It would be disadvantageous to our foreign trade. Tho assertion was made over and over again in the de bates In congress that a high rate ot pro tectlon must lesult In disadvantageous trailo relations abroad. Foielgn coun tries, encouraged by this assertion on the part of Democratic members ot con gress, ri shed In a si rles of protests against the Dlngley bill much more nu merous und threatening than had ever been known before In the consideration of a tarltf measure. o Now let us beo whether the threats which were Jointly made by the Demo crats In congress and the people who co operated with them abroad In their at tempt to prevent tho adoption of the pro tective system have been carried out. The new law has been six mouths in op eration. The detailed figures u'latlve to llvo months of Intel national commerce slnco tt went into effect hove Just been made public by tho treasury depart ment and they show a very gratifying condition of our foreign trade during that period. They show that the asser tions that the adoption of the Dlngley bill would affect our trade dlsadvantago- ously were not well founded. Our foreign sales of American products of faim, lac tory and mlno havo been much greater In tho first five months' operation ot tho now law than they were In the coi re sponding months of tho Wilson law In 1S90. Our sales abroad during tho llvo months in question under the Dingley law have beeij nearly fifty million dollars In excess or those of the corresponding months of last year under tho Wilson law. "Oh," says the objector; "this Is duo to tho unusual demand abroad for American grain, brought about by tho shortage In crops In other parts of the world. What was reallj ciuimed by the opponents of tho bill was that the adop tion of tho protective system would close foreign markets against our manufac tures." o Let us see about this assertion. The figures of tho treasury department show that In tho llvo months In question the exportation of manufactured urtlcles has been greater than tho exportatlons of manufactured urtlcles during the corre sponding months of 1896 under the Wil son law. Tho total exportatlons of our manufactured articles during the Sla months from August 1 to December 111 wero JH3.039.500, which was considerably In excess of the total of the exportatlons of manufactured articles In the corre sponding months of the preceding year. o Another especially Important and In teresting fact which Is shown by thesa recent figures relating to our commerco since tho new law went into effect Is that practically all of the countries which mada protests against the Dlngley bill during its discussion, and by implication at least indicated that lis enactment would adversely affect our trade, have bought moro from us since It went Into effect than they did In tho corresponding months of the preceding yenr. Tako Ger many, for instance, whoso ambassador filed numerous nnd elaborate protests against sundry features of tho Dlngley bill during Its pendency; her purchases from us In tho five months since the act went Into effect aro fifteen per cent, greater than In tho corresponding months of Inst year, being IC9.S13.S01 against JtK), 72X321 In tho corresponding months or ISM under, the Wilson law. The Japan eso minister llled, it will bo remembered, tin elabornto protest against certain fea tures of tho bill, yet It will bo seen oy the tnblo which Is given below that Jan tinscso Importations since tho net went Into effect have Increased nearly fifteen per cent, over thoso of the corresponding months of tho preceding year under the Wilson law. The Swiss minister filed sundry claborato protests, yet our sales nro moro than live times as great as In tho corrcsncndlnc months of the preced ing year under the Wilson law. Austria Hungary, which was ono of tho first countries ' to mnko formal protest, has Increased her purchases fifty per cent. Tho Belgian minister also sent In no less than threo communications on this sub ject addressed to the secietary of slate calling pointed nltentlon to tho fact that he was doing so by orders of his gov ernment, yet Belgium has bought from us slnco tho now law went Into effect over fifty per cent, more thiin she did In tho corresponding months of the preced ing year under tho low tariff rates of tho Wilson law. o Tho following table compares our sales under the now law with thoso In corre sponding months of tho preceding year under tho Wilson law to all fourteen of thir countries which offered protests against tho Dlngley bill during tho time of Its consideration. It will bo been that In all except three unimportant coun tries our exports Increased and that tho totnl gain in our sales Hi tho fourteen countries in question Is J12,2I7,01S.

This cry of a soul puzzled by paren thesis comc.1 to us from Syracuse; "t was taught that parentheses and brack ets are not Interchangeable, that what Is Included between ( ) Is a pait ot Ihe story, and that what Is Included between Is not. In newspaper work men use brackets to Inclose a word of cxplana Mon to the printer or the editor. Should not brackets bo used exluslvcly for ex planation to the editor, or even to the reader, when that explanation Is not a part of tho story; and is not this dis tinction between and ( ) peculiar to our language? I nsk because In books and In magazines articles written by men presumed to knew the Kngllsh language, I have found the two used Interchange ably. W. 1. li." o There Is no natural distinction of use between the parenthesis and the bracket. They are different forms of the same thing. They are twins. The parenthesis Is a curved bracket, tho bracket a rec tilinear parenthesis. Neither Is excessive ly beautiful, but you are entitled to make your cholco If you want to. Various printers nnd editors make tho distinction mentlcrcd b the Syracusan, but It Is a purely artificial and arbitrary distinc tion, a matter of individual taste or use. The dash seems likely to drlvo out the. parenthesis. At least It Is not so ugly as that bow-legged old rascal. o Our advice to tho Syracusan and to Mie rest of mankind Is to avoid parenth"' Ical writing. Go straight ahead when ever you can. When nn explanatory word or phrase has to be intercalated, use brackets, if you like, or parentheses, If you like. The printer will do as ho pleases. He will follow tho rule of his qfllce. Some typographical 1 aw there must be, but It Is mainly founded on In dividual taEto and habit, after all. We should say that parenthesis and bracket are mere typographical devices, and their use or dlsuso Is largely a matter of fashion. Tho Kngllsh language could survive the loss of both. A CONCKHTC II.I.USTKATION. Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. It Isn't often that the benefit of good roads and the expenslveness ot bad roads can bo demonstrated in a specific case, but we find in the Louisville Courier Journal, credited to Mr. Charles K. Ash burne, jr.. the following statement, the Incident having been a matter of per sonal observation and knowledge by him: A machine weighing 10,000 pounds was drawn four miles on the Urock turnpike, a. macadamized road. It lequlred four mules (4,000 pounds to a mule), und ono and one-half hours of time at n cost of 13 cents per mule per hour, or a total cost for four miles ot 90 cents. After travel ing four miles on macadamized turnpike the route lay a llttlo less than 2,000 feet on u dirt road. To travel this 2.000 teet It was necessary to uso ten of the best mules und seven men; and with this force It took nlno hours to complete the Journey. Tho cost was J19.S0, nt which rate four miles would have cost J203.O5; or, In other words, I20S.18 Is absolutely thrown away for want of a macadam road. A macadam road, such as would have prevented this enormous outlay, would cost $100 per mile for overy foot of width: that Is, a 12-foot road J1.200 per mile; a lC-foot road. $1,600 per mile. etc. The above examplo considered the cost of good nnd bad roads, respectively for a single haul of one vehicle only. Mul tiply that by tho hundreds nnd thou sands continually mado over. tho roads mentioned, and our readers can form some Idea of the evil of bad roads.
