"The ilslit to work," snld ex-Attorney Geneial Palmer In his address to the Jury In tho Martin trial, "Is Just as Hacrcd as the right to strike," and there you have tho whole philosophy of tho labor question summed up In a sen tence. A Nation Aroused, Hindsight la pioveiMally hotter than foresight. In the light of recent events It Is now clear that both Mr. Cleveland find Mi. McKlnley were in eiror when arh In turn declined to tccognlze the belligerency of tho Cuban Insurgents, but ued the power of their olllce to obstiuct the American export tiade In lifles, gunpowder and other materials of wai so far is It related to tho Cubans In levolt. As has been repeatedly pointed out, there exists no wauant In law for the stopping by nny American otllclal of any cargo of merchandise oonlgnul to miv resident or gioup of residents of Cuba. Only armed expedi tions may be s-topped. Yet our govern ment for tluce :cars ha" policed the seas for Spiln nnd hannssed legitimate Ameiirnn coinmorre, while 8p.iln has been lelt fire to buy In our cities and to ship fiom our pnrN aims anil ex plosives whli li may be in the near futuie. If thev rme not already been, vised for the destiuetlon of American piopeity and lives, It was mi eces of consideration for n power not deserving of It; It created among the Ignorant population of Spain false ideas of Spain's "pull" with us which have culminated in Insolence and thieats; and it has aggiavated gieatly the tioubles which now make neceshaiy In this countiy extraordin aiy preparations for national defence. We towed Ulndnc.s and reaped treach eij. We plased the pait of the good Samaritan and lecelved from the bene ficiary of our gcneioslty a series of dastardly stabs in tho back. The De Lome letter, the Maine's destruction nnd lastly the Impudent request for the lecall of our faithful consul general, Mr. Lee. were Incidents which came as the dlicct result of failure to stamp on the Spanl&h viper before It had had a chance to bury Its fangs In our shelter ing bosom. Hut, thank God, this period of long suffering meekness Is ended. Prom now onwaid Spain will hae to deal with a nation nrotised. There will be no war, because Spain Is too cur-like to fight; but the farce In Cuba will be bi ought to a speedy end, and it will be jour Undo Sam who will ring down the cut tain. Tho belief Is growing at Washington that tho president contemplates an ear ly recognition of Cuban belligerency, nnd nfteiward, Cuban Independence. He cannot do either or both too soon to please the people Tho Martin Verdict. To acquit Sheriff Martin and his deputies of a charge of muider, pre fened because nt Lattlmer they re fused to sui lender to a lawless mob, has cost Luzeinu county $40,000 und tho Ameiltnn public three months of tut inoll, but It was woith the price. law Hands vindicated today wheio for jeais It hud bein peislstcntly disregarded. Justice on all sides In fie gainer. Snipped to Its real Import the Mar tin trial fiom the llrst was a battle be tween older and anaichy. Annrchy pieced Into Its lenlce the whelps of jellow Journalism and the Incendiary eloquence of political adventuieis. It plaod on Ignoiance, class prejudice and unbalanced smpathy. It filled the air with dust nnd it did Its best to en kindle the ilres of passion Hut In tho presence of u court which refused to hweio a ball's bieadth fiom Its line of dutv nnd befoie the unnljtlcal and judicial processes of the law, It broke down utteily. The common tense of the Juiy gtnsped the Issue In Its full Flgnllleance and the wrdlct of tho Juiy stands as the eidlct of the Ametlcan people Hear In mind what was Involved It was not a case of capital against labor, nor of alien ersus. native. It had nothing whatevei to do with the right or the wiong of the controversy be tween tho Ilaleton region stilkers and their employers. That was a matter wholly apait, ond must not become confused with tho ltnl Issue in tho Martin tiial. The Martin trial was blmply nnd solely to determlno whether In a time of tlotnus assembly amount ing to sedition tho peace ofllcer of tho comnionwenlth wns to be upheld or punished for dolus his sworn duty. This was tho pivotal point; all other Issues placed around thh pTJlnt were put theie for the purpose of diverting the attention of the public from the main question nnd speeding Jt toward confusion. Tho Jury says that tho sheriff Is to bo upheld, and by so saying It gives strength and fiber to American insti tutions. Had It said otheiwlse the whole fabric of law and order would hao received a serious blow. There is no question about the pood Intentions of Mr. Dunnlne, the street commissioner, but his supply of brooms nnd scrapers Is far too limited for a city of thejmairnltuda of Sean ton. Tho taxpayers or Scranton cer tainly would not' object to a liberal appropriation in the Interest of cleanli ness. Why this obstupefactlve ob tuseness on tho part of councils? A fool In a Willlamsport theatro the other night, by a false cry of "Flrel" almost precipitated a panic. Such fooln arc liable to bo found anywhere, honce care should be taken In nil places of public assembly to have ample means of exit. Thin advice Is capable of local us well as general application. - - ' " Spain seems to hava been holding out a bigger war blurt than tho yellow Journals. Tho Times can say thr.t all Us classi fied lialf-cont-a-word advertisements are genuine, that not 'a line among them icprrscnts padding, and can soy so truth fully Scranton Times, If thlB assertion is on a par with the Times' other nssertlon that Tho Trlb uno habitually carries dead "ads," then It hnd better not protend to be truth ful, elso we might feel called upon to nail it. Among tho thoughts growing out of the Lattlmor case let it be lemem bered that every man who seeks the protection and advantages tepresented by the American flag must yield obed ience to Ameilcan law. Where Right Makes Might. It Is announced by tho Cuban dele gation in Now York that no moro fili bustering expeditions will bo ent from this countiy to Cuba. The delegation says tho Insurgents have now enough nrms, ammunition nnd supplies to lart until tho United States shall Intervene or Ppnln got out voluntarily, one of which alternatives cannot In the nature of things be long delayed. The piesent revolution In Cuba began rebtuaij 24, 1S9H. Since that date thlr t expeditions equipped in tho United States and carried through tho govern ment coast patrol, have conveved war mnterials to tho Insurgents. These ma terials have Included 20,000 machetes, 40,0f0 breech loading rifles of the most approved and modern styles of manu facture, and RC,000,000 rounds of am munition. Medicines, hospital stores and miscellaneous equipment have been sent to the value of $0,000. Altogether the Insui'iits have lecelved from their allies and bjmpathlzers in tho United States supplies representing an aggre gate expondltuie of about $2,000 000 No doubt to some this seems a trifling nffalr when contrasted with the $300, 0P0 000 whMi this same war has cost Spain; but the veiy fact that. the handful of Cuban sympathizers In this countiy could by spending $2,000,000, maintain an insurrection which Spain has not been able to quell after nn oxppndlturo 150 times as great argues eloquently In bchnlf of the Cuban cautc No cause not grounded in Just lee could withstand uch overwhelm ing odds. We need to romemljer also that It 1 ?s from tho beginning been the policy of Gomez and his lieutenants to make Spain suppoit both armies. Tor cveiy rifle nnd bullet received by the Insurgents fiom the United States they havrs In turn captured two or three fiom the Spanish troops, and the propoition with reference to miscel laneous supplies Is far larger. The in surrection when begun by Marti had In cash to Its credit less than $40,000, and this was chlelly contributed by Ameri can Cubans fiom their earnings in this country. These men In a technical sense have been law-breakers; 1 ut In morals they stand not only exonerated but glori fied. No braver fight against moie for midable odds has tieon chronicled In history. Tho day which sees their ef forts crowned by success In the estab lishment In Cuba of an independent topubllc recognized as such throughout the world will be a day fit to be com memm alert whet ever lovo of llbetty and hatred of oppiesslon find expres sion lr. free Institutions. The Toronto Globe fears that Yankee belligerency toward Spain Is the crea tion of ilch Americans who want by means of It to check social discontent It Is always Interesting to know how far a Canadian paper can go In dls toitlng the truth about the United States. Worth Considering. Russia's belzure of Port Aithui, In dicating the puipose of the czar to perseveie In tho partitioning of China legaidlcss of tho moial sentiment of the world, has caused Ungland to hunt 'or allies In her effort to block this theft and maintain In China open ports. It is now strongly Intimated that tho authorities of Great Biltaln would like to effect on this Issue an alliance with the United States. The London cor respondent of the Sun sas it Is com mon rumor In foielgn diplomatic circles that Lard Sallsbuiy would willingly Join with tho United States In forcing Spain out of Cuba It tho United States In leturn would stand by England's Chlnpse programme. This correspond ent quotes ns follows Sir Georgo Wil liam Des Voeux, who has been govei nor of several British colonies, Includ ing the Bahamas and Hong Kong, and who Is lecosnlzed as one of the most eminent authorities on far Eastern politics: "Tho present Is a most grave cilsls In our aftulrs, not merely us legards China, but, in view of the complications all over tho world. On the right steer ing of the ship of state at this moment depends largely our national futuie. In my opinion, parndoxlcal as It may appear, what Is of the most Immedi ate consequence Is to seize the oppor tunity of expressing our cordial sym pathy with tho United States In her efforts to secure autonomy In Cuba, and our determination to nld with our fleet against any attack on her coasts. This would prevent war with Spain, and make general American sympathy with us, which Is now ours only In part, and would thus be of enormous value to both nations, while materially assisting In tho solution of tho China question. The United States have nl ready a strong Interest In preserving tho 'open door,' and In tho course of time, as their country fills up, tho loss of It would affect them scarcely less than ourselves. Tho opportunity Is one for bringing together the two English speaking' peoples. It may never occur again," To be sure, In neither instanco Is England wholly disinterested. She has $75,000,000 Invested In Cuba which Spanish mlBgav eminent Is tupldly re ducing to nil. With regard to China, the success of Russia means England's peimanent decline in Oriental prestige and commerce. But letting this bo ns it may, la thero not some point to tho expectations of our British kinsmen that It wo nro to share In tho benefits of the "open door" wo ought to bo willing to nolo to keep tho door from belnff forcibly closod7 The suggestion of nn Anglo-American alliance Is worth considering. . In 1870 tho United States had ten tlmca Canada's population. Francis Wayland Glen eslmntcs that In 1D00 tho ratio will bo 10 to 1, which goes to show that there is nothing like Ameri can enterprise. Within a fortnight $12,000,000 of nuro. Tean gold has been started on its way to Now York, to pay for American ex ports and American securities a straw clearly Indicating which way tho trado wind Is blowing. -. Our hysterical contemporaries who aro picturing tho assassination of Gen eral Leo onco or twice a week might bo better employed these das In weav ing a yellow lining for tho Chinese war cloud. Chief Justice Sterrctt having declined the proffered interstate commerce commlssloneishlp, Judge Calhoun of Illinois takes It with thanks. It Is not often that Ponnsv lvanlans are bo modest. Tho announcement that an extra tax will bo placed on beer if necessary to provide for a war fund, causes every pntriotlo man to experience a parched feeling In tho throat. Tho scorcher havlnc shown symp toms of sprouting onco more It again becomes opportune to ndvlse that he be nipped In the bud. TOLD BY THE STARS. Dnily Horoscope Dtiuvu by AJncchus.

Mail Seruice Shotild Be SeK'Sttslaining Trom the Philadelphia Record. Tlin liberal policy maintained by the government during a long scries of eais In its pajments to the rajlroads for mall servico has been of gicat bencllt to tho peo ple, both In qulcktnlng and facillntlng communication. This should bo borno In mind In all discussions of the subject of reducing the rates of compensation. A parallel caso Is afforded In the rcmark ablo development of armor plate manu facture In this country through the lib erality of the government. It is certain ly a matter for congratulation, especial ly In view of recent Important events, that this countiy now possesses facilities for producing the best armor plato In tho wot Id, as Is evidenced by tho re cent placing hero of Russian orders at $200 per ton moro than this government Is permitted by law to pay for armor for tho battleships Illinois, Alabama and Wisconsin. o An instructive nnd Interesting artlclo on postal affnlis, bj Orvllle J Victor, ap pears In the I'bruai number of Tho Porum The author states that a single Huston weekly paper Issues COO 000 copies evtry week in tho jeir, and that a Philadelphia monthly circulated mostly thtough tho malls 72Ti,000 copies of Its December number. Certain other maga zines Issue monthly from 2:0,000 to MO 000 copies, each weighing from 10 to 15 or moio ounces Tho growth of this liter ature In volumo Is nmnzhig, and Mr. Victor takes tho ground that "to prohibit It tho freest uso of tho malls In Its dis tribution over our vast domain Is simply a crlmo agilnst civilization" Mr. Vic tor goes too fat. Tho government is not Justified in cnrrjlng every class of mall matter for less than cost, nor In mak ing ono class pay moro than a remunera tive rato In order to carry another class of matter for loss than a remunerative rato. Hut ho Is quite right in Insisting upon a leadjustmcnt of railway charges If they bo too high. o Tho cost of railway transportation of passengers and freight pver tho great trunk lines has been greatly reduced sinco tho fixing of mall contracts by vailous economies of management, in creased power of locomotives, Increased capacity of cars and decreased cost of equipment, fuel. etc. It is, therefore, proper to Inquire whether, In view of theso facts, tho rates paid by tho gov ernment to tho railroads for mall ser vico aio at tho present time excessive Mr. Victor states that tho government pays nbout $"000 a ear for the uso of each postal car and for Its transporta tion. In further discussion of the sub ject ho sais: "As n car Is worth but $1,600 In twenty ears the averago length of llfo of such a car tho railway receives $100,000 for tho use of one car. Tho New York Central railway, wo am told, 'receives an annual paiment of $3 OSS90 per mile for transporting mnll matter between New York city and Buf falo a sum exceeding tho amount ic qulred to pay Interest on the cost of a complete double'-tr.ack lino from New York city to Buffalo. Tho Penn sylvania railroad receives annually $3, S01.53 per mile for Us service between New York and Philadelphia.' A careful examination of tho tables given and of tho charges Imposed discloses the signal fact that if tho United States govern ment owned and controlled all postal cars nnd paid tho ralhoad for traction and station storngo and stowage Just as great shippers like Armour fc Co. and all tho express companies, pay the saving would bo fully 40 per cent., as compared with tho cost per mile In dicated by tho sums nbovo particular ized, and tho deficit that so sickens tho souls of a long lino of reformors and nostrum venders would completely dis appear. Nay more, thero would be a big surplus with which to further tho scheme of freo city and rural delivery and to silence tho enemies of cheap reading, who under tho thin mask of postal reform would seriously add to tho cost of all periodical publications " Assuming that those statements aro approximately correct, It would certainly seem that tho government Is now pay ing unnecessarily hlghrates for railway mall service. Tho comparison drawn be ing unnecessnrlly high rates for railway transportation and that given to armor plato manufuoturo by tho government needs to be qualllled by a brief refer ence to tins different conditions prevail- Ing In theso two fields of enterprise. In tho caso of armor munufneturo tho mak ers wero obliged to erect enormously costly works and to discover nnd 1m provo upon metallurgical processes for the benefit of practically but a slnglo customer. Tho nnnor plant Is not adapt ed to tho rolling of stool for commercial purposes; nnd whllo nn occasional for eign customer may bo attracted by tho superior quality of the American armor, this source of business cannot bo ro lled upon, nnd It Is even questionable whether It Is a wlo policy to seek such orders. Tho railroads, on tho contrary, do not depend upon tho mall scrvlco for tho equipment or tho running of trains. This Is tin ndjtinct only to tho regular business, nnd tho profits on tho trans portation of mnll matter cnablo the rail roads to rcduco rates on competitive freights. o Tho extremely low rates of cnrrlago of wheat, Iron oro nnd other staples on long hauls over our rallronds Is a never ending source of wonder to foreign en gineers, nnd It lr largely owing to this Inexpensive transportation that our ex ports of Iron nnd steel, food products, etc., have Increased so largely In the past jenr or two. It thus appears that while tho government pajs a high price for tho transportation of mall matter, it secures prompt nnd efficient service; nnd the people recoup a considerable por tion of tho payments of tho government through the lower cost of genernl rail way transportation thereby rendered pos sible. I5u the postofflce department should conduct Its business on business principles by readjusting both what It charges and what It pays for mall ser vice. Tho defeat of tho Loud bill should not put an end to the attempt to make tho postal servico self-sustaining. STATE CONTROL OF PRIMARIES. Senator Pavey In tho Porum. No legislation to reform tho caucuses nnd primaries will bo effective which does not begin nt the bottom. Tho right to membership In a party Is the foundation of all party allegiance. This right should first bo defined and protected; nnu all leg islation for safeguarding tho further btcps of political action should bo based on this foundation. No substantial su perstructure can bo built until this right Is firmly secured. o Tho rulo has been generally accepted that political organizations should de termlno tho qualifications of their own members Tho proposal to fix by law the basis of membership In a political party strikes men with astonishment. Yet tho stato lnus tone so far In the recognition of parties that this step becomes slgnlll cant. In somo states it has already been taken. That It is absolutely essential as the first step in any real progress, bo comes more and moro apparent. It Is commonly known as tho "Kentucky Plan," nnd provides for tho olllclal en rollment of all members of every political party who desire to take part in tho cau cuses and piiimrlcs of that party. A moro radical suggestion has been to abol ish conventions and havo direct voting at primaries for nominations. 'J his plan Is not unknown in tho south or west. Tho proposition is an Innovation on existing sj stems of party government in tho east. It Is sometimes styled the "Record Plan." from its earnest advocate, George L. Record, of New Jersey. o It rray bo brleflv described as tho appli cation of the Australian ballot svstom to caucuses and primaries. It abolishes all conventions, and provides that nomina tions shall be m.ado by direct voto of the people. A plurality nominates. Tho first day of registration Is made a primary or nominating day. Only official ballots can bo used. Any fifty voters belonging to any political party can sign a certificate requesting tho proper olllcer to print upon nn ofllclal primary ballot the name of tho person mentioned In tho certificate ns a candldnto of their party for any par ticular ofllce. The voter, on tho day of registration, goes to his place of regis try, registers, announces his party nllllla tlon, receives from tho board an olhcial ballot of his political party, enters tho booth, erases all names except that of his chosen candldato for each nomina tion, and deposits this ballot in the bo. The candidate hiving tho plurullty on each party ticket Is declared to bo the nomlnto of that party for tho office In question, nnd his name is printed on the olllclal ballot of tho party prepared for the general election. Tho advantages claimed for this pi in aro. (1). General and public notice of tho tlmo nnd place of holding caucuses and primaries. (2). Greater Interest In caucuses and primar ies. (3). Tho selection of better men as candidates for ofllce, or, I other, the selec tion of men under better conditions. (4), This system sets apart a day for tho se lection of candidates. (5). Tho corruption of tho primaries would probably disap pear. o These arc somo of the proposed solu tions. No one mav possess nil tho rem edial vlrtuo rlalmcd by Its advocates, but all shuld bo granted earnest considera tion nnd fair Judgment. Tho fibres of American political llfo nro closely in tertwined with tho framework of great political parties. The ono cannot bo de strosed without cutting down tho other to its very roots. This fact must be rec ognized nnd not decried, iho stato mint protect theso great engines of political action from Internal decay or external destruction. They must no longer be the tools or tojs of the! political bosses. Tho right of every member of every political party to the full use and enjovment of every piece of the party machinery must bo protected. Tho state must assume tho task of this protection und perform tho duty to the fullest extent. NOW IS OIJK CHANCE. Trom tho New York Sun.
