The Philadelphia, Pres sharply at
tacks the Cuban Junta In this country
foi permitting Julio ftancullly to vio
late his parole by heading a flllbustei
ing expedition bound foi Cuba, nnd It
declares that this and other acts of the
Cuban leaders In this eountiy have
greatly e.stiansed American sjmpathy
The facts as to Sanguinis alleged
departure have not j.et been made pub
lic except In the form of Irresponsible
gossip Judgment, theiefore, Is piema
ture. Of course If Sangullly has broken
Xulth and the Cuban leadeis have ap
proved, the iPic-s' comments will be
not altogether undeserved. A pinole Is
n paiole, no matter how obtained. It
was not an enviable attitude which
our government assumed when It con
spired with Spain to tie Sanguinis
hands, and If Sangullly's tale be title
that he was Induced to sign away his
future bv misrepresentation the inse
Is made worse Still, one vvinng does
not eswcuse another, and if Sauguill
has bioken faith he and they who have
nbetted his peifldy will deserve to fall,
ns they will fall. In pouular i teem
They must not, though, be condemned
on mere hearsav
At best, however, this Is only Inci
dental. Is the main contention of the
Press tiue that Amerlcjin svmpalhy
foi Cuba has cooled? To have cooled
It would need once to have been warm.
Of Word sympathy the supply now is
quite as voluminous and frothy as it
has evei been. We appiehend that oui
eontemporaiy hod icfeience less to this
aity nnd unsubstantial form of senti
mentality than to the piattical kind
which takes exprtsslon In wa.vs tangi
ble and sensible to the cause ot the
pntrlots In the field In this sense has
there ever been any onslderable
nmotuit of American sympathy to cool?
Thero ate thcu-e who doubt It Take,
for Instance, that high oundlng oigan
Izatlnn, the American Cuban league, of
which Ethan Allen was president. A
year ago It filled the papeis with Its
feivld ihetorlc, ot Its oasli contilbu
tlon to Cuba llbre, as announced on
one occasion In the Cuban oigap, Im
Pntrlo, was Just X-.75. Nearer home
the local pupers and clergy and best
clllzeps renerally have talked and
plead Jnceusuntlv for 'the cajtse of
humanity In Cuba. Sentiment' appar
ently has been brought uy to an un
usual pitch. Yet the mayor of Scran
ton, pa one of the four depositaries ap
pointed by executive roolamUlon to
receive Pennsylvania's' contributions In
berTalf' of the Harvlng thousands In
Cuba, fifter- weeks of wenty waiting,
has at last tuined over to 'the governor
ot Hnrrlsburg a fiaqtion over 75 and
an old pair of pants. ?v i
The talk of American ffvmp.athy for
Cuba has not given to the' American
nccnts of the Cuban republic a single
extra rifle or n single extia bullet. It
has not lessened by a hair's weight the
difficulties under which the Junta have
labored In getting their munitions of
war past the lines ot our American
(oust patrol und on the high seas, for
Cuba bound. It has not helped a single
Cuban wairlor In the camp or In the
fit Id, It has not deterred the govern
ment of the Itnlted States from using
the whole power ot Its diplomacy on
the side of Spain ns ngalnnt Cubit nnd
In hindrance rather than In aid of the
Cuban litsut lection If, therefore, the
Cuban agents aio 'losing American
sympathy' they aie not losing that
which lias had for them an appieclable
alue Judged by the standard of utility.
And If, nfter so much empty talk of
sympathy, ending ulwa.vs In disap
pointment, they should hae decided
at last to discontinue all expectations
of Ameilcati help and proceed to woik
out their count! j 's salvation on an In
dependent basis, It would be a con
clusion for which they could not be
gieatlv blainid.

The Philadelphia Rulletln expresses
so well our own opinion on this now
much asllaW subject that we Intend
with this brief vvoicl ot Introduction to
let it have the llooi
' Pulgnt I. Moody deelaus that he
does not believe the cliaiges regarding
the prevalence of Intemperance nt
Yale, and cs proof of hN confidence
pi hits to the fact that he has sent two
of his tons to the univei.stlv. Mr.
Moodj's position will be endotsed by
most sensiblo. people, Intelligent pub
lic opinion will command the determl
niMon of Yale's faculty to take no for
mal notice of the petition addressed to
It b the Woman's Christian Temper
anco Union. Piofcsoi Dwight and his
asso iates In the government of this
greit Atoerican university would be
uuwiso If they permitted tiioms'elvcs to
be drawn Into a contioversy with the
feminine ciltlcs of the Institution ovei
which they preside The sincerity of
MWs Willard and the protecting meni
bois of the union l beond doubt; but
the conscientiousness of the faculty of
Yale 's equally unquestionable; and
the experienced educatois who com
pose that liodv aie surely entitled to
I'l.iiiu a wider and nioic accurate
knowledge of the subject than the ear
nest ladles who view the problem whol
ly fiom the outside.
'It would be n ost unjust to charge
the faculties ot leading American uni
versities with lack of devoticn to the
cause it public moiaN. The men en
trusted with the highly responsible
task of supervising the conduct of our
loiemost Institutions of learning are, ns
a rule, qualified for tnelr duties not
merely bv profound scholarship, but
by intimate acquaintance w ith the
nieds of collegiate life, and by thoi
ough experience In dealing w Ith stu
dents both' Individually and In the
mats. They may make mistakes, but
It Is safer to titist their united opinion,
hasii on piac-tlcal knowledge, than to
taki the theories of enthusiastic te
foimeis who hive had no such school
ing, as a guide
'Tne value of tempt lance should as
suicdly be Impiessred upon the students
of all colleges, and while public opin
ion is recomlng moie condemnatory of
the v Ice of di ur kenne." v. ith each pass
ing d-ade, there is little dansei that
AmeiicMi colleges will become centres
of Intemperance It must In reniem

It should be the puipose of theli edu
cators not so much to keep them In lg

I'nquestlonnbly more hatni has been

In the same circumstances the American
official in Paris or Madrid would need a
strong guard of soldiers to save him
lrom the furious Indignation of a mob.
This Is not because the American people
lick tho quality and laculty of Indigna

senso of the dUnlty ol American citizen

of nations provide for the punishment of

o
Among the othei features of the dis
cussion Is the suggestion that the. sit
tings of the i emit at Wllllamsporl and

mlttee of law vers of Central Pennsvl
vauia Is protesting to the court itself
against this. If there Is any disposi

to be made to tho court uccornpanled,

certeel movement will be made to havo

couit has nothing to tin with that nut
ter. Under the act creating It, the court
is required to hold sessions in those two
cities us well us In Philadelphia. Pitts
burg and Harrlsburg. That fact can
onlv be changed by the legislature, so
that the committee of law .vers of Central
Pennsylvania ma wlselv save theli en

Theio is not much probability that the

It can bo understood that tho Judges do
not much relish this going about from

uncomfortable, nnd does not tenel vei
much to add to tho dignity of the tri
bunal. This was one of the reasons whUh
prompted Judco Willard to resign, His
tastes anil inclinations wero such that he
could not put up with it, While It Is
doubtless distasteful to other judges,
there Is probably no real foundation for
tho stories that thero aie to be other

ROBBING TUG aOVDRNMRNT.

When Mr. Loud's plnn of averting a
postal deficit was first nitido public It met
with encouragement. The pretense that
tho socond.elues mall matter was carried
Ht a loss Imposed upon many, who, when
thev were Informed that It was chleflv
made up of thrnshv literature1, said by
all means put an end to Its dissemination
through tho mulls and thus save niony
to tho country They did not stop to In
quire whether there was nnv foundation
for the chargo that second-eluss milter
wns chiefly composed of books or papers
that should be suppressed; had thev done
so they would have found that it bore
nbout tho samo proportion of good us
other classes of mnll matter, and that to
abridge the furllltles nfforelcil bv It would
result In depilvlng the people of u great
convenience.
i
Hut th- American people cannot be
foolee foi any considerable period with
out some one directing attention to the
fact, it was not long nfter Mr Load's
attack on second-class matter was for
mulated that critics begnn to peilnt out
tho Inconsistencies ot the chairman ot
the committee on poatotllces and post
toads, nnd to expose the fact that while
pretending to bo 7ealousl seeking modes
of retrenchment, he was deliberately re
fusing to piv attention to the charge, re
peatedly made) and sustained, that the
lailroacls of tho country were receiving
an extravagant compensation for carry
ing the malls, which, if 1 educed to a just
figure, would save millions of dollars an
il uallj.
o
Since It has been demonstrated that
the railroads Instead of receiving eight
rents a pouml for transporting tho mills
should bo paid about one-eighth that
amount, there has been a greit change
of base on the p irt of newspapers whose
editors wero at first elecelveel by the
meretricious argument tint It was Im
possible to carrv second-class milter,
which pas a nto of one cent a pouml.
except nt a loss. Thev now perceive that
twenty dollirs a ton ought to be ade
quate compensation for hauling this class
of matter. Inasmuch as expiess compa
nies can profitably handle a similar busl
ncss at that rate, fn other words, they
have dlscovereel tint the people do not
pay ton little for having econd-class mat
ter carried through the mills, but that
the railroads receive too much for tians
poitlng it.
o
This belns the case, It follows that
everv step made bv Mr. Loud in the di
rection i f curtailing tho privileges ot the
oeople using tho mi.lls Is an act ot treacli
erv to the public. His effort to re luce
the number of carriers In the big cities
and his attempts to circumscribe the
right to send second class nail matter in
this view ot the case, which is the only
rational one. inn emlv be construed IntD
n desire to permit the rallre5.ul corpora
tions of the eountrv to continue elrawing
Immense sum from the treasmv which
thev do not earn. When the chairman
of the committee on postofTlces mil post
roads heieafter speaks of the Inlury done
bv the dissemination through the malls
of trashy literature, tho public will under
stand that the object of such talk :s
meielv to dlvnrt attention from the fact
that the United States Is being svste
matlcallv robbed, nnd tint it would be
perfectly practicable to bring the ex
penses of the postal.department to a rea
