A Word About Advertising. As they near tho Fprlngtlme enler pilslni; business men Invailably take extra eate to publish broadcast their bargain news. Our columns already relied this fat t, but a word of sugges tion on tho subject imfy not be amlKS. (1). As to quantity of circulation. Tho Tilliuiu believes that it has as lare a regularly delivered nnd paid for circu lation as any of IN contemporaries. "W inlhl go further than this and yet nut go beyond the truth. AW will not exaggerate. HI tin and brag on this point will not alter the facts. The only way for the advertiser to satisfy him self is to advertise intelligently in the cllfi'utent papers, and thus llnd out which one brings him in the most busl nee.. AVo curt this tost. (2). As to quality of circulation. Fnpciy rold mi the street are of small value to advertisers since they are rarely taken Into tho homes; penny papers are good mediums for certain lines of trade; but the paper that Js taken regularly by blight, well educated and middle class families and scanned tluoughout the day by each inemb.'r of tho family In turn; the clean papor.tho paper that doesn't print sensational nvs nor pollute Its col umns with scandal this is tho paper In which' advertisers map golden re sults. It reaches the kind of buyers whose trade is worth having, and they have contlJence In what they Fee In its columns. The Tribune Is admittedly the best paper In the city and it follows naturally that It has the best circula tion. (3). As to time of circulation. The dispute relative to the respective mer its of a morning and an afternoon cir culation Is Incessant. Expert opinion differs. There me advantages and dis advantages on cither side. The morning circulation undoubtedly reaches a wider area, b cause It has more lime In which to be distributed by trains. It also Is more likely to be road with euro by Alio women, slnr 1 tliey get the paper in tho morning and have all day for It. No advertiser can afford to Ig nnie morning circulation. On the oth er hand, afternoon circulation is valu able, particularly among worklncmen, who read tho evening papers after supper, while they rest fiom tho day's toll. Tho Intelligent adverther will want to '.10 represented in nt least one morning nnd one evening paper, be cause ha cannot afford to miss either class of readers. AVo leave our evening contemporaries to settle between them which is the 'bettor medium, nnd we advise the advertisers of Seranton to test for themselves the two morning papers, not by what those papers claim but by what actual results they can produce. This !s tho basis of The Trib une's bid for patronage. Charles AV. Stone could be elected governor without a particle of trouble. So could Congressman Olmstead or Charles K. Rice. Hut could P. A. H. AVldener? There be tlicrte who doubt It, and this without any disrespect to Mr. AVldener, who Is a most generous, en'erprlslng and publle-splrlted man. Unequal Taxation. Kx-Presldent Harrison, In his recent address upon the subject of taxation, dwelt particularly upon tho extent to which personal property escapes Its just share of the burdens Imposed by the state, and while reprobating on moral grounds the well-to-do citizens who ploy false with tho government went so far ns to suggest that If tux evasion by the very rich wero not moderate! there might come u time when so drastic n. remedy ns confisca tion would bo considered seriously by the great mass of Indignant sufferers from this unequal adjustment of the tax burden. Commenting upon the subject thus opened to general discussion, the "Washington Post mentions a point which will bo read with Interest In Seranton, where examples In evidence ure visible on every side. "There Is," Fays tho Post, "another Inequality that hus nothing to do with personal prop erty, relating entirely to real' estate, and easily rcfortaable by equitable leg islation. Some of the largest fortunes In the United States have been made by getting title to a tract of land and holding on to It whllo a city grow up 'around It. The laws of numerous etntes open up this way to fortune, und no man cun be blamed for utiliz ing tho facilities which the law af fords. Tracts that are not laid out Into houso lots, but are kept Intact, are assessed by the acre, as 'agricul tural lands,' at a rate that is merely nominal compared with tho rates Im posed on contiguous property that has been opened up for Improvement and uettlement. This enables a landowner to get rich by the enterprise of his follow-cltlzens. All he has to do Is to pay the comparatively trilling tax Im posed on his acres, while streets nnd avenues are being opened all around him and residences, churches nnd oth er buildings arc belns erected. AVhen the right time arrives, he donates a part of his holding: for streets and sells house lota at as1 much tfer eqitare foot oh, b,Q,patd foj, a square- rod when he 'bought -the property, nils Is the his- tory of tlinusnmls of small fortunes and a few Brent one. This has been frolnp on In a Rood many states ever flnco their governments wero oruan Izetl. It Is not a fair distribution of tha public burdens. Although It Is not evasion or dodging of taxes, It Is a wiontr Inlttcted on tho tax-paying masses. Tho fortunate owners of these 'agricultural lands' In cltlta are not open to" JiiBt censure, for they violate no law. Hut the laws that enable cit izens to make fortunes through tho enterprise of their neighbors laws that are especially ndapted to .that end ought to be reformed." A law empowering the state or city to buy these unimproved tracts nt the valuation placed upon them by their present owners during nraossnient time would probably have tho effect to cause a noticeable Increase In 'the tax lpveniiu. Governor Hastings takes a vacation while Senator Quay takes a sweat. Time Is a rare avenger. Our Inland Seas. If tho American flag Is absent from the mercantile paths of the high seas It Is some compensation to be able to reflect that It Is Increasingly In evi dence on the grea. lakes. Last year freight to the amount of 18,9S2,7.'3 net tons was locked through the United States and Canadian canals at Sault Ste. Marie, and passengers to the num ber of 40.21S. This was an Increase over .the llgurcs for 1SP6 of 17 per cent. In freight and Si per cent. In passen gers. The freight floated through these locks was more than twice that car lled lluough the Suez canal In tho same year, and nt the present rate of growth It will not be many yiyrs until tho commerce of our lakes will be equal to tho maritime commerce of any of the principal Kuropean nations, excepting Great Hiitaln. That the passenger business on the bikes should Increase less rapidly than the freight traffic seems strange when one reflects upon the charm of a boat trip across and around these great In land seas. Tho man who h'as once made this journey will be sure to re peat It ns soon as ho has tho oppor tunity. The man who has not made it has within reach a most dellshtful Fiirprlse. AVe can conceive of no better objtvl-letson In American patriotism than to put as many cs possible of tho younger generation accompanied, of course, by representatives of tho elder abroad ono of tho palatial passenger steamers which ply between Buffalo and Duluth during tho summer months, and permit them .to see for themselves what a great and magnificent country th's is, which can offer such a utrctch o: business and pleasure navigation without coming nearer than 309 miles of salt water on the ono side and 3rft0 to L'OOO miles on the other. Hero Is n maritime dominion of itself sutllclent to employ th'o energies of more navl gatois than the continental powers of Kuropo have, put together: a fresh water empire which could swallow up a large part of Kurope and yet have water to throw nway, around the edges. It is reported that there Is to bo no river and harbor bill this session of congress. AVo trust that Mils does not signify any let-up of the government expenditures which aim to facilltato navigation and safeguard travel on tho great lakes. . By promoting Mr. John AV. Ualley from the managing editorship to tho presidency of the Philadelphia Record end continuing as editor Mr. Theodore Wiight, who had been tho acting editor under Mr. Slngerly'3 management, tho dilators of th'o Ilecnrd Publishing company liavo assured themselves and tho public that th? excellence of tho Record as a newspaper will be pro longed, and they have also recognized appropriately faithful and able service. The Record, with the exception of its occasional political aberatlons. Is al most a model newspaper. Its news set vice Is exceptionally comprehensive nnd well-edited; Its literary miscellany Is unsurpassed among Its kind, and edi torially it Is always dignified, keen and fprseful. It well merits tha large suc cess It has won. Seranton seems destined not to bo privileged to enjoy professional base ball next season but Scrautonlans, In the light of past experience, can heart ily congratulate patrons of tho na tional name In cities where It will bo played professionally upon the fact that the National leaguo has decided to do away with rowdy ball playing A board of discipline has been appointed, be fore which any player or any spec tator mny lodge complaint concerning objectionable words and actions' on tho diamond, aiid if the accusation Is sus tained the board has unrestricted power to administer punishment. It is ead to observe two such emi nent reformers as Mr. John AVana maker and Mr. Herbert AA'elsh In seri ous disagreement. According to the latter the former hates Quay simply because Quay balks his ambition. "Wherein," Mr. Welsh wants to know, "would good government profit by the election of a man (Mr. AVanamaker) whose public record has been an almost unbroken violation of Its principles, nnd who would rivet upon us the chains of two bosses for those of one that he broke?" That's the very question wo were about to ask. The Loud postal reform bill, which tho house has juat snowed under, had good points, but It was unfortunate In some of Its champions. Representative Loud, Its author, rasped people who came In contact with him, and the power of tho country editor, who didn't want the "samplo copy" privilege re stricted, also aided tho opposition. Rut now that It Is dead we see no reason why congress should not Investigate the matter of postal transportation contractu with tho railroads, which tiro alleged to be unfairly steep. Commodore McNalr, the naval officer who will soon succeed Rear Admiral Matthews In command of the North At lantic squadron, and who, consequent ly, would be our chief reliance In case of a naval brush with Spain, has been tested and found not wanting, "Under Kurragut In '61, when a mere boy, he wpn a lieutenancy by gallant conduct; and during tho four years following he went through the hottest naval fights of the war, showing up strongly In every one. With their new navy In tho hands of men like McNalr nnd Blgsbce the American peoplo need have no fears. , Walter AVellnwn says the president's chief concern In tho Cuban problem Is how to avoid wounding Spain's ex cited feelings. Perhaps a good way out of the dilemma would bo to glvo tho Spaniards another warship to blow up. Kvery misfortune has Us compensa tions. Tho Maine blow-up diverted the anarchistic New York Journal from the Martin trial and probably saved the anthracite region from another spasm of mob violence. TOLD BY THE STARS.

A child lxrn on this day will doubt less attribute hard times to tho fact that tho men who want to get something for nothing aro rapidly on tho Increase. It Is seldom that a woman gets fooled In matrimony unless sho mnrrles for love. The models of perpetual motion ma chines Invariably have wheels.

I will line my pockets with '(ilars and my namo will bo tho synonym oi 'ginger' throughout tho land." Ho entered the Held, but tho show did not evoko applause. Tho enterprise was re ceived with kicks and cuffs, and tho cmbltlous manager was pinched for In decency. And ho said: r'Alas! mo name Is mud!" Moral: Don't get gay wld do actors. Real Significant of the Maine Affair ".Maximo G" In Rochester 1 T-IKRE aro thoso who th Maine disaster ought with, on Its own merl tho question of Cubai Infu'in-ila 'Ptiotrt pom ".Maximo G" in Rochester Herald. -IKRE aro thoso who think that the to bo settled merits, first, and Cuban liberty af terwards. Tlteso reasoners have. therefore, reduced the Malno affair to a question of a money Indemnity to bo de manded of Spain. It Is justly charged that tho Americans aro a commercial na tion, anil aro quite In tho hanlt of easting iii pretty much everything Into dollars and cents. And yet this predisposition to monetary valuations does not entirely nc roimt for the popularity of the money In demnity idea. Jt is, probably, for tho most part tho cloak for that peace sen timent that wealth nnd vested Interests not less than philanthropy and Christian f'Tbearanco naturally engender. In true patriotism the Americans aro not lacking, und all alike, rich and poor, those who may have to light and tlioso wlio may reasonably hopo to stay nt home, prob ably desiro their country's honor to bo maintained. Hut on tho question of w bother that honor has been Imperilled and what steps tho laws of natloni and of eternal justice Impel us to take to maintain It unsullied, Americans differ widely. o Oiirs nas not been a bellicose nation. AVur, It Is true, gnvo birth to our na tional entity, war followed an Insult to our dignity at a time when wo wero poor and v oak, war took us to tho seml troples to defend the rights of our south ern outposts, nnd war bloody past the former comprehension of man occupied tho generation, many of whoso heroes wo hnvo with us still, vhen tho question of human slavery was forever settled. Eor der wurfare, too, has until recent years tried the temper of our brave sons, from tho earliest times. Rut war, as It is un derstood on tho chessboard of Kuropean politics, we have carefully refrained from; nor have our diplomats, much less our people, be 3ii constantly engaged In this or that permutation of nicely bal anced adjustments between nations, any disarrangement of which would naturally lead to war. Hence it Is that our people aro not farr.lllar with tho application of thoso principles of International right and wrong that dictate tho casus belli; and whllo tho sense of slinmo mantles to tho brow of every American ns he reads of tho dastardly deed perpetrated on thoso wearing his country's uniform, he is at a loss to prcnounco with confidence on his own right to feel tho martial fire, and seek a blood atonement for tho shedding of the Innocent blood of his country's bravo defenders. o Should the court of Inquiry find imlls putublo ovldcnco of tho connivance of high Spanish olllclnls In tho blowing up of tho Maine, It will bo plain to every mind that tho United States need not ck claro war; for war will already havo been declared by tho net of Spain. Prompt disavowal, coupled with equally prompt und condign punishment of tho guilty, might, Indeed, chango the situation somewhat. And yet tho right of tho United States to proceed to any military measures wo might deem expedient would not bo questioned. Tho causo for war would still remain, If wo chose to regard It so, no matter how abject Spain's npol ogy or how ample her promises of retri bution against offenders and Indemnity to those injured. o Rut wo will nssumo that only ono of the rumors In regard to tho cause of the dis aster which havo gained wide circula tion was true. That rumor is to tho ef fect that certain Spaniards, their rauk not oven guessed at, hired certain des peradoes to proceed from a disused wharf, night after night, In diving suits, to tho vicinity of tho Maine, and con struct a mine, which at the appointed time was touched oft by an electric bat tery operated from tho unused wharf. AVo will assumo that these Spanlard-i were not men of authority, and that their acts wero entirely unknown to tho Span, lah rulers, military and civil. "It Is the case of tho Italians mobbed at New Or leans," exclaims one of the advocates of peaco nt any cost. Rut It Is not that case. It Is far from that case. It differs from that case In thoso very respects that ure vital to a nation's dignity. o The Italians had gono to Louisiana to settle, nnd presumably to do ns bo many of their fellow countrymen havo dono hi tho north, establish homes for them selves, nnd becomo citizens of the repnb. Ho. Rut their habits, or tho wages they wero willing to accept, or a misconception of their customs and pursuits, made them obnoxious to their neighbors, much no negroes havo been obnoxious to whites In tho south and as Poles and Hunga rians havo been offensive to tho peoplo of Pennsylvania. Thero was no feeling against the kingdom of Italy, and Ital ian majesty, and dignity wore not thought of whon tho mob arose nnd murdered neighbors who had become obnoxious ppr- ronally, Tho Mulno anchored In Havniu harbor In pursuit of a peaceful mission. It represented whllo thero tho power and dignity and honor of tho American peo ple. Sho lay where nn authority which policed the harbor nnd assumed to guar antee her peace had placed her. To every Spaniard, whether officer, soldier, or civilian, that essel represented the United States, To endanger tho lives of thoso whom tho United States had sent thero In her commission was to Imperil the pcaco of nations, and every prece dent from tlmo Immemorial would bear out this contention. To fiendishly carry nut such a design ns that against tho Mnlne, was, so far ns tho Individual or knot Implicated was concerned, to mako war upon tho United States, -o It Is well Hint the nations have com bined to glvo this sense of Importance to their commissioners. It Is In tho Interest of peaco that bucIi understandings exist. No hoodlum in a foreign capital dares ralso his hand nguliist ono of our consul ates. Tho place Is sacred to a foreign country, und foreigners havo properly a Just fear of committing an offense on such property that will surely doom them to moro petslstent pursuit and moro grievous punishment that would follow tho commission of the samo crlmo on native soil. Theso distinctions aro not without reason, nnd tho necessity for maintaining them Is not chimerical. They aro at tho foundation of Interna tional Intercourse and comity, and every nation Is interested In maintaining Its own honor and dlgntty whenever they aro violated. o Rut should a great nntlon bo Involved In war for tho act of a band of miscre ants, which It may disavow? That Is within tho discretion of the aggileved nn tlon. Precedent places tho character of tho reparation to be demanded at the dis cretion of tho Injured party; and thero Is no limit to tho demand that may bo made, If thero lies force behind tho demand suf ficient to warrant It. On far less pretext thrones havo been subverted und dynas ties changed. o "Hut tho United States constitute u great nation. And magnanimity is ono of tho prerogatives of tho trulv great. Our resources aro vast, our location Is favorable, our preparation Is adequate, our bravery, to date, has never been called In question. AVo might afford to overlook tho Insult to our Hag." The United States can, Indeed, afford to be magnanimous. Rut It is a question whether tho nresent Is, under any cir cumstances, nn occasion for tho display of magnanimity. Much will depend on Spain's course. Had tho miscreants been caught red-handed, could even now sulll clent proof bo adduced against any set of men to convict them promptly and cer tainly of the crime, so that an example might bo promptly made, Spain's readi ness to convict and punish would bo a strong mitigating circumstance. Tho fact must not bo lost sight of, however, that peoplo everywhere in nil countries, the Spanish common people, as well ns tho Spanish ruling class, must bo given to understand that the dignity nnd honor of this country ns represented by her ling aro not contemptiblo In tho sight of any man. And in discussing tho question of mngnnmllilty ccro must bo taken to filter out any selfish desiro for national case and plenty at tho cxpenso of honor. It must not bo said of us that tho commer cial spirit has entirely subdued tho spirit of honor nnd Independence. Our birth right of honor cannot go for tho pottage of tho stock exchange. In becking to be magnanimous, let us bo very sure that we aro not really pusillanimous. O" Thero aro thoso who seo In this Incident a chance for tho oft-discussed principle of international arbitration. Happily Spain herself hus delivered us from theso specious reasoners und their folly. Her statesmen havo rejected tho proposition for arbitration with supremo disgust. Jt Is emphatically not a question for arbi tration. Thero li no boundary to bo de llminated. Thero are no money damages to be fixed with nicety. There 13 no ques tion of law to bo looked into. It is a matter of honor puro and simple. Spain must satisfy ourselves as well as tho rest of tho world that a gross Indignity has been properly atoned, or our guns must ask tho reason why not.
