TWELVE PAGES. PCrtANTON, FRBIlt'AHY 10, 1S93. The Tribune's telegraphic news is from three to five hours fresher than that of any Philadelphia or Xew York paper circulated in its field. Those papers go to press at midnight; The Tribune receives news up to 3 a. tn. and sometimes later. All the news in The Trib une while it is new. It will lit- obsoivcd that on the heels if Hie destruction of tho Maine the Spanish news bureau In Ilavnna 1ms bt'KUti to turn out h new lot of pnpei nindn Spanish vletoiles over the Insur ants Thee fukeis evidently have a llmlt'Vl lepettohe of tricks. Senator Mason's Break. The Hon. William K. 'Mason. United States senator from Illinois, Is a warm hearted and Rood-lntentloned man who homctlmos (lies off the handle. Tes te! day was one of those times. After two days of pinlsevvoithy self repwslon under the stialn of an In tense excitement. Mr. Mason jestcr tlay had the misfortune to explode In a vocal dlscharRe of Insinuations which In calmer moments ho will be the first to icgtet. The manner In which he wan called down by Senator AVoleott adds matetlally to the splendid Impres sion which the junior senator from Col ntado had already made upon public opinion. Thp manner In which other senators assisted Senator Wolcott In that corrective work will lift the sen nte Immensely In the public's esteem. Senator Mason's sj mpathles for Cuba nte shared by evety American worthy of the name. His dissatisfaction with the conservatism with which the pres ent chief executive has approached his treatment of the Cuban problem Is shared by many although not by nil. But In his attempt to fasten upon the ofllcois of the 1'nlted States navy the stigma of possible duplicity In connec tion with the Inquliy Into the demoli tion of the Mnlne he stands alone. For that unfortunate ebullition of an overheated head piece there will be no applause. Censure, Instead. Is Its Just meeting:. The cause of Cuba Is In lined by such talk. Worse een than that, the reputation of the T'nlted States Hiffcrs because of It. It Is un w an anted, cruel and senseless. Its au thor should be iishamcd. Suspicions as to the c,iue of the Maine's fate nre one thing; evidence Is another. It is an insult to Spain to assume in odvnncr that she Is KUlIty, although Spain's character and past aie such that the insult Is not unnat ural. Hut It Is a crime, at this mo ment of pt evading tenlon, to direct from the senate chamber of the United States against the men who seive In the nation's navy a suspicion of dis honesty unsupported by any warrant In the piesent or in the past. The best thing that Billy Mason can do to tepalr his bad break Is to arlhO in his place as soon as he shall re sume a condition of sanity and make a fiank apology. . . Wllkes-Barre Is to have strictly pure milk delivered In any part of the city at .' cents a quait. Wllkes-Bane Is In luck. Frances E. Wlllard. The death of Frances E. Wlllard ends a career w'Jiot-o usefulness It Is not within any human power to esti mate. While the news of her. passing li- rest biings with It to in 111 kins of Americans a sense of peisonal loss and Immeasuiable -sorrow yet In the case ment of long and patiently sustained jialn no less than In Its piomlse of eternal peace the end must have been not unwelcome. By this death there Is lemovcd one of tho most interesting characters of our time. Possessed of brilliant Intel lect, great executive ability, a gift of eloquence rarely known and a courage leonine In Its proportions, she has held a unique place before- the world for n quaiter of a centuiy. With a fas cinating personality and exquisite re finement, nt once a model and a re buke to what had been the accented type of the intellectual woman, Miss Wlllard also combined -with keenness of foicslght an Independeni e of thought so unequivocally expiessed that in a woman of lesser powers there might havebeenlost to hcrthe kingdom which she so rerally swayed. Standing on a height tow aid which weaker ones sttugglcd, she never has failed dining all these yeais of stoim and stiess to hold the respect and homage due to the highest type of woman. How much she may have erred or how nearly she has been light in her views of ono of the great ethical questions of modem times, will be left to the next century to decide If It Is ever decided at all. She has lived to bee theWoman'sChils tiau Temperance union, whose piogress Is hugely due to her vigorous enoigy and strong personal influence, ilse to a dignity and a power which would have been Impossible to foresee thirty )eais ago. She has also lived to see that gieat organization totn and rent and almost dismembered by the Intern pei ate tight regatdlng; the Chicago Temple, a controversy that no doubt hos embllteied her last days. Her name will go down to history coupled with much that elevates womanhood and synopynious with an endless war ngalnst sin In every form. Mies AVI1 luid'8 death Is an exception to the iule, so often stated, that no one lives whoso place oan nobp (Hied, for at the present time there Is no person In the gieat organization which she has rep resented who can qccupy' tho unique place she hot! vaulted. Frances K. Wlllard was born at ChurchvJIIe. N. Y.. Sept. SB, 1831. She graduated at the Northwestern Female college, at Kvanston.illl., In 1839, be coming piofcssor of natural science there In 188?. Fom lSgS, to 1567 she acted as prlnclpaT'of, 'Genesee Wcs leyan seminary Tjen for several years' she engaged In foreign travel and study, returning In 1871 to become pro fessor of aesthetics In the Northwest ern university at Kvansion and dean of the Woman's college. It wan here that her Inlluence began to assume that breadth for which she was subsequent ly nnd so Justly renowned. Up to this time the prevalent method of govern ment for girl pupils In seminaries and colleges had -been founded largely upon the prison Idea. That Is to .say, purity was esteemed to be a cieatlon of esplonnge, pains and penalties rather than an Itwtlnctlve motal choice. In almost no theoretical respect did the government of a woman's college dif fer fiom the guardianship of an Orient al harem. Uiances'n Wlllard changed all this. To the cultute of the Intel lect she added the culture of the sensi bilities and the tialnlng of the will. The whole trend of woman's education was changed by her It whs In 1ST4 that Miss Wlllard de elded to withdraw from school work In order to devote her entile time to the nuitute of the newi -founded Women's Chtlstlan Temperance union Her caieer since has been virtually Identi cal with the growth and- usefulness of that great motal agency. From then until now she has been easily the foiemost Ilgure In It a leadership not the result of self-assertion but due lather to Ineslstlble superiority of equipment. With voice and pen, both worked to the very limit of her strength, et with an Instinctive mod esty nnd gentleness and sympathy for human weakness the reverse of those charactetlstlcs usually expected of the piofesslonal woman reformer. Miss Wlllard espoused the cause of temp Pi ance, of social purity and of uplifted standards for both men and women with a devotion never surpassed and an effectiveness which has seldom been equaled. She became not simply the best loved woman of her day but per haps the most useful and helpful wo man of any day a queen by merit over nn empire as broad as humanity Itself. "It is bet not to think," says Cap tain Slgsbee; "1 prefer to know." The American people both think and know that when they sent Captain Sigsbee to Havana to assist In the piotcctlon of Amcilcan Interests they made no mistake. The Cuban Insurgents. In a letter to the Philadelphia Press Dr. John Gulteras, the head of the Cu ban organization In Pennsylvania, cor rects some eirors leccntly made by that Journal In a comment upon the movement for Cuban liberation. The Press had accepted as true a flying rumor that General Julio Sangullly had violated his parole by leturnlng with a filibustering expedition to Cuba. On this point Dr. Gulteras says: "Gcncial Sangullly has not been sent to Cuba by the Cuban Junta, nor by any one else. He w.is in New Yoik on Tuesday. And he never will be sent to Cuba. Theie is an order from tho Cub-n government. In the shape of a resolution of the ex ciutlve council, which leads r.s follows: "Kesov?d, that the council of govern ment does not deem it advisable that General Sangullly be sent to Cuba by th older or through the agency of the delegation!' (the so-called Cuban Jun ta)." Ti Profs had futther Slid that the small u spouse made by the American people to the executive's appeal for funds and clothing for the relief of the starving reconcentradocs indicated a ooollnjj of American sympathy for the Cuban cause. Dr. Gulteras does not thus Interpret It. In his opinion the failure of thee subscriptions Is lather an evidence of the existing sympathy toward the cause of free Cuba than otheiwWe. He adds. "With rate in stinct the American people soon dls iovered that theso subscriptions were In no way to benellt the patriot", and that the lesponslbillty for the suffer ing in the cities of Cuba, rested with Spain, who seemed disinclined to take any action toward remedying it. If the Cubans have not called attention in a public manner to tho distinction ex isting between the two kinds of sub scriptions It has been because they did not wish to oppose in any way the plans of the administration. The stronsest expression of American ovm pathy towaid the cause of freedom in .Cuba has been the contribution mado by Tammany, and that is a recent event. The efforts made in this city to raise funds for the sick and wounded of thi? Cuban army are meeting with the usual success." Finally, In reply to the regret of the Pres3 that ths leaders of the insur gents could not be trusted to resist iSpanlsh bribers except after they had been tlneatened with death, the doctor says: The Cuban government does not fear that tho officers and men will sell out to the Spaniard. Tho former revolution did not end In this Ignoble way, ns It Is al leged No doubt It Is the policy of the Spanish government to throw discredit upon the Cuban people by Insinuations of this kind. What tho f'ubans did fear was that tho American peoplu might be deceived In this matter as they huvo been In others. Public opinion In this count! began. In tact, to take It for granted, when Blanco aine to Cuba with his autonomic schemes In his pockets, that tho Cuban leaders weio about to sur render to Spanish gold. Even the gov ernment of tho United States was mulling ready to, and, as It applaud In tho presi dent message, did give somo sort of sanction to that miserable compromise that Is called autonom), and which is de logutotj at once to the dignity and tho Interests of tho Cuban people. Is It nny wonder that tho Cubans should feel the necessity of Imposing the full penalty of the law upon RuU and a few otliets who presented themselves with propositions that lnvolvtd the negation of that sov ereignty and that flag for which the Cu bans aie lighting' This defenso ought to satisfy un prejudiced opinion. It Is tiue that Cuban standards and Yankee stand ards are not Identical, but by every principle of Justice the Cuban insur gents aie entitled to win, and they de serve American help. The Sun wants congress to authorize the president to buy another warship equal to the Maine, Tho Idea would tie good If an accident policy could be thrown in. For Its twenty-third annual session the Theosophlcal society of Ameilca has Invaded Chicago this week. Con alderlnij the difficulties that would nat urally confront an effort to bilng the average Chicago mind from pork to Theosophy It Is said the meetings have leen quite encouraging to the Ameri can Mahatmas. ' Headers of The Tilbune can hardly have failed to notice In tho past few days the marked superiority of Its news service over that of the New York and Philadelphia papers circulated hete. On the morning that The Tribune pilnted the first report of the disaster to the Maine the city papers had no word of it. Some of our readers evi dently thought that The Tribune was mistaken, but they failed to take Into account the fact that the city papers sold here are put to press at midnight, whereas The Tribune never goes to press beforo .1 a. m and on special occasions can hold ' Its columns open unlit nn even later hour. This differ ence In time means neatly every day a very considerable difference In the freshness of the news. In these das a great deal of history ls often created In thiec hours. The Scrantonlan who thinks that It Is necessniy to take a New York paper In order to get the news makes a mistake. He may thus get a laiger and mote Varied assort ment of woids, but of news, real news, news that is new, he gets less rather than more than he can get In the lead ing home paper. Credit where ciedlt Is due. The best leport of the mishap to the Mnlne and of the attendant activities at Wash ington printed In any newspaper was printed Thursday In the New York Sun. Its nairatlvo leclted all the es hentlal facts In smooth, clean Kngllsh and there wasn't a daub of yellow In It. Neither was there a nightmare cut. Since Tuesdays election In Philadel phia tho Inquirer of that city has giown hjsterlcnlly pessimistic. It ap pears to believe that a majority of the voters of Its city aie fools. Our con tempoiaiy will get over this. Some day it will learn not to take defeat so sei iou3ly. Captain Slgsbee, of the battleship Maine, seems to be the right man for the present situation. Ho absolutely refuses to talk until he has something definite to say. No Snap Judgment in Spain's Cas? From the New Yoik Sun. ment. With the exception ot the purely professional slirlekers of sensa tions, tho newspaper press has well rep resented the attitude of the people. It Is that of 11 clvill?td and law-respcctlng roniniunlty, habituated to await evl dtnne before convicting, and accustomed to discriminate botween suspicion and ceitainty. ' That sji-pIclon Is prevalent, It Is use less 10 deny. One thought sprang Into eveiy mind along with tho first news ot the destruction of the ship. With the clr cumstarces ot the Maine's visit to Hav ana such ns they were, this was inevit able, nnd the universal suspicion affect ed public oplnlor In London preclselv as It did In New York or Washington. Even In Mndrid and in Havana tho same underlying Idea, ns to tho raot natural explanation of the catastrophe Is tncltlv acknowledge- ou can discern It behind tho lines of cverv exprc-'lon from a Spanish source. The formulae of Chance allow for almost limitless possibilities in the way ot coir ridences; but this was a case in which another explanation than accident suggested Itself spontaneously and simultaneously to Intelligent obseiv eis tho world over. All this counts for nothing In the ab sence of facts. The first dispatch from Captain Slgsbee. asking for a suspension of public Judgment, was variously inter preted. But It was Immediately accepted by the people of the United States as 1I10 command of common senso and common Justice. And until the wreck of the noble ship yields up from beneath the water the secret of her destruction, or conclusive evidence from some other quarter leaves no reasonable ground for doubt, public Judgment will remain In suspense, hold ing tho Spanish government and Spam's agents meanwhile guiltless. This Is Jingoism. It Is Americanism. AMERICAN SELF-POISE, From the Philadelphia Press, Tho f,elf-pols of the American people has Just been Illustrated ngaln, as It has been excmpllflcel on several occastons during tho past few years, In a mon striking manner. Kyents happening on r. national scale have proved that the na tion Is building up for Itself a character which for balance and equipoise Is not In ferior to that reached by any older peo ple, while It is superior to that of many nations. 0 One ot thso occasions was in July, ifc'U, when tho great Pullman car strike oc cuned In Chicago and nt ono time it seemed ns If a great social uprising were impending that wculd sweep away all govcrnmnt and order. Hut at a word ot command fiom tho president the tiou ble ceased and nulet was restored. As an lhigllshman expresseei It: "The flame was put out by an expectoration, as It were, and In n day we were back at our desks and plows." Another occasion came when President Cleveland sent his message to rongiess on the Venezuela controversy. An emphatic expression of ppproval rame from tho people and tho whole nation stood lllco a mailed knight tightening Ills grip on the hilt of bis sword and ready to support the cause of his counto. Hut there was not a situ of civil commotion, o A third illustration of this equipolbo of the American people vns given In the presidential campaign ot IS. Section appeared to bo ai raying Itself against section em the currency question. The debtor states seemed ready to separate themselves from the" creditor stales and form a government 0f their own. Soma Americans lesldlng abroad were even deceived by the heat of tho contest, and an ex-consul ceneial was so Indiscreet ns to publish an article In the London Nineteenth Century predicting a war be tween tho states on tho money Question. But tho campaign ended safely and tho election was held quietly, and everybody uoquleseed In the result. A fourth lllus. tration has Juit been given of this trait of tho American people. Tho de I.otno exposure which would have excited somo other nations to Henry passed without the appearance of dlsoidcr anywhero In the countn. o These Illustrations of the ability of the American people to control themselves aie tho most reassuring signs of tho time. They prove that the nation Is building up for Itself a strong, well-balanced charac ter which will stand It In better sle.ul In a time of trouble thnn the material wemlth It Is so rapidly Blithering. They also prove that the predictions, If not the wishes, of the old monarchical countries that a free government could not stand tho strain of u great crisis nre not likely to be realized.

THE GROWTH OF TEMPERANCE. Fiom the New York Sun. A coi respondent asks us to "tell who ought to have the credit lor bringing about tho great decrease in diimkenncs, n the consumption ot wines nnd liquors, in social life hi the community." The credit Is due chiefly to the growing ie flncment nnd nicer sensibilities of the community, ns manifested also In the Increased sensitiveness ot tho public to nil suffchlng, human unci biute. 1'i.irse Indulgent o of all kinds offends modern taste. The speech of society has grown more rermed. Su caring Is going out of vogue In all Its ruder forms. The lip ping oaths which liitcrl.udd the speech ot gentlemen In former davs, and even within the remembraneo ot tho present genciatlon, havs been dlscaided as savir lng ot vulgarity. All exhibitions of vio lent temper, with tho explosive language, tho objurgations, the rinses, and the re viling which accompanied them, havo fallen under reproach as offensive to good manners, of whlrh'iho essence is self-control and nlco legard lor the sen sibilities of other people. Kxcesslve In dulgence In drinking pioduces results in tolerable In social Intercouise. A drunk ard makes a nuisance of himself In -o-clety, and suffers fiom Its ban uccoid Ingly. o This more exacting soclnl refinement has been n powerful Inlluence In fuithff Ing the growth of tho temperance which distinguishes this period. The "throe bottle" men of the old days would outrago the decency ot a dinner oC tho present time with their swinish Indulgence, fh" dinners ot tho past, which used to end with half tho men under tho table, would bo Impossible now. outside or tho vilest circles. Wino Is partaken of sparlngl ; and has become a mere Incident ot the feast. In all respects the dinner Is moie decorous nnd less of a meto feeding nnd drinking occasion. The timo of Its con tlnuanci) has been decreased; Instead ot a company spending two or three or even four hours at the meal, as formerly, an hour frequently suttlces for an elab orate dinner. There Is fur more moder ation in both eatli.g and drinking than there used to be Tndoubtcdly, also, the Introduction of lager beer ns the gieat beverage of tho peeiple, replacing whisky, has conduced to the lessening of drun'c eniiss. Kven nt tho corner liquor sa loons the main drink Is light beer, with tho consequrnee that tho consumption of whisky has fallen off so greatly ns to cause serious embarrassment to tho whisky distillers tho decrease being pir Ocularly, In tho higher grades of whisky used as beverages. 0 We do not dcn, however, that the agl tatlon In behalf of temperance, so earn estly conducted for ffty yeais, has been a contributing cause also. Unquestion ably tho palpablo advantages of tem perance, carried even to tho extreme of total nbstlmnco ns a matter ot puro principle, have furnished a practical dem onstration of the advantages of prudene'o In tho uso of nlcohollc sllmulnnts which has helped materially to Induce tempet nnce. m CmU THE CARTOONISTS.

There Is danger of Injustice In evei tho moderate use ot this Instrument; still that peril attends all fun-making, wit and satlie.
