We pie-s-c 111 In ht wcnl wmo of the principal jinlnts In th'H Indictment: "Tin- urmv itnil the navy aie both very bad'.f In need of .reorganization. The nuvnl p.r-t.o.npl bill Is u mutter of extreme iuporu.trc. but all efforts of Hie president and Secretary I.uns to vecuvo the passage of the bill through the house seems likely to lull. It was Introduced at the lieKliinlnjr of the ses sion and referi ed to the Naval com mittee, when- It was pl'ueon. holed. It would Involve an Increase of expendi tures of somuthliiR like SCOO.uOO a year, but it would give the navy the olllcers mid engineers that aie absolutely reeded to ninti the ships already owned by the government. "The militia force of tile T'lllted States, so far a? its equipment it con cerned, Is almost half a century behind the age. In one Mate thirteen kinds of guns are used by the militia. (!e cause of this failure to equip the militia with uniforms and modern guns the creator part of it would be ineffective In cast; of war, and when the men were llnally equipped with Runs they would have to use rllles with which they were entirely unfamiliar. Year after year this matter lias been brought to the attention of congress by Hie ar de partment and at each congress bills have been Introduced and generally re ported to tile house In remedy tills state of affairs. SHU, through the op position of ceitalu leaders In the in terest of 'economy,' nothing lias ever been dole. "Tho army oiganlzatlon is in the came antiquated condition. Kor many years congress lir.s been urged by the AVar depattinent to pass a measuie that would L'ive the army an organ ization like that of the Kuropean gov ernments. As long ago as the Klfty flrst congress a bill passed both houses on tho subject und failed In conference committer because the chairman of thu liouse conference committee could not iret recognition near the end of the ses rlon to secure the adoption by the liouse of Hie conference report. The measure has liunir along: in congress Tver since, and now, with a possible Vor in hluht, Secretary Alger, d'eneral Miles and the other responsible olfle Jals are extremely anxious for tills legislation. The piesldent lias urged it Upon tile leaders of the house, and today Chairman Hull, of the Military committee, inti minced a new bill on the subject, which has been so modi fied that the president is in hopes that it will pass, lint Mr. Hull can get no promise of consideration of his meas ure, and It Is very doubtful if It Is even taken up In the house at this session. "The need of dry docks Is notorious. It has been urged upon congress tor years, and yet. If certain lenders could hnve had their waj, the house naval committee would possibly not have done anything on the subject. Mr. Uoutelle was so put out because the majority of tho committee refused to follow his leadership on Hils matter that he left the committee room when the vote was taken deciding In favor of constructing new docks, and also when It was decided to construct tor pedo bouts and 'destroyers.' " "These," adds Mr. (Ubson. very Im pressively, "are the leasons why the country Is unptepared, for war. it Is wholly the fault of congress. The lead ers on both sides In tecetit yeais, Demo crats as well as Republicans, have been nt fault. The stent majority in both house and senate have been ready to votfl the necessary legislation to put the country in a condition of defense, out they have been held back by lead ers whose plea was that of economy d plea the country now realizes was very short-sighted. Instead of provid ing the vessels needed for the defense or tho country the navy department Is now put to the necessity of purchasing Inferior vessels at high prices in for eign markets. The torpedo boats and torpedo-boat destroyers vessels that nre not expensivehave not been pro vided, and as a result the administra tion is now forced to purchase tugs and yacjitw and turn them into torpedo boats. So fur us the destroyers' tiro concerned the nation is absolutely ivlthpitt a single ellielent vessel of that hind. Unless public opinion U brought 'severely to bear on congress It is by no means certain that this short sighted 'economy' will bo abandoned even at this late day." If Mr. fllbson or any ono else will give to the country the names of Hie juejt who are chlelly responlblu for this stupid obstruetlyenesN we will warrant that they will not get Hie chance to repeat theTr'mlstoke.

Vet there are some Philadelphia papers which would try to persuade the iiubllo that thievery Is exclusively confined to certuln poli ticians in the Republican party of tho stale of Pennsylvania. The court ruled wisely In refusing the application of IMward .T. Vn!sh for u wholesaler's license next to the First Presbyterian church. It is but fair to Mr. Walsh to' say that the opposition massed against this application was In no sense personal. It gives us pleasuie to add. voluntarily, that Mr, Vulsh is us worthy a man as Is engaged In tho liquor business, and one on personal grounds much mote deserving of a license than many v. ho now hold llielises. Vet If be were to be per mitted to locate a liquor store next to n church it would be simply Impossible to deny the same consideration to others, and the result In time would be that many churches would be literally surrounded by such places. IT It is good policy to make a rule that licenses .liall not bo granted within, say, 200 feet of a church or u school It Is cer tainly good policy to enforce thut rule Impartially.

All who have read the full 'text cjf the leport made to the senate by ex Secretary Proctor concerning the con ditions observed by him In Cuba must realize that w hlle 11 is a most carefully repressed .statement of facts and ob servations, offered without comment or suggestion, It Is also a terrible In dictment of the past course of the American government. "We defy any man to read this sober and tinemo tlonrj reeoid, with its convincing at testation of the righteousness and the military strength of the Insurgent cause, and Its equally convincing con demnation of Spain, and not arise from perusal of it converted to the be-, lief that the belligerency of these fighting Cuban patriots should have been recognized nt least one year ago. Our indifference then was mistaken, but Its prolongation now would be criminal. The entire native population of the Island, says Senator Proctor, outnum bering the Spaniards five to one, is In avowed or secret sympathy with thu insurrection. It lacks arms and strength to r.''ike Its sympathy imme diately triumphant, but the sympathy exists. The aspiration for freedom is theie. It has survived the nwful car nage and cruelty of three years of un speakable misrule. It has grown with the blood shed by Spain and with the indescribable sulferlngs of the recon centradoes. It now aligns race against race, Cuban against Spaniard, In re lentless antagonism and It will con tinue this alignment until the most fertile of Islands shall be converted Into n ruin unless- meanwhile the I'nlted States lifts Its voice in Cuba's rescue. What is our government' duty? First and greatest, to notify Spain to get out. On this subject there need be no mincing of words. The time for diplomatic fusslness has expired. "We have leached at last the Ktage of the game which demands the firm will and the resolute arm. Spain must be sub tracted from the Western hemisphere. The I'nlted States as the primal re public of the new world, whose flat is law, must superintend the subtraction The method which will attain tills end In the briefest possible time is the method to be chosen, and the conse quences of Its choice will bo accepted by the Ameiican people, be they what they may. A wivr In such a cause would exalt this nation. Hut war or peace, Spain must go. Concurrently witli this, the president should recognize the Independence of the Cuban republic. Recognition of belligerency would have sufllced u year ago. Now we should go to the limit. Cuba has. paid tho blood-fee of free- doin. She should not again be cheated of her due because of tho Ameiican element which cries for peace at any price. The Maine disaster, infamous as It was If t-iiown to huve been designed, Is after all by contrast only Incidental. The great heart of free America, beat lug in unison with the spirit of Its founders, goes out to this abused neighboring people struggling to be free, and, Irrespective of the Maine, Its message bids them hope. Rescue Is neurer Hum they think. The time for American action has come. No power on earth can withhold America's hand. A young woman of Philadelphia, Mii?s Cotfman, seems to have solved the dillluult problem of truancy, nt least to her own uatlsfuctlon, and with a success which all the might of blue unlformb and brass buttons was pow erless to attain.

MIsa Coff mau started out to find this slippery youngster the other morning and pur sued htm with commendable persever ance Into a liouse up the stairs and finally through a trap door to the roof wheie she collured him and returned triumphant to the schoolroom. It l Just possible that the school boards In various cities will discover that a mistake bus been made and that con firmed truancy Is a case to bo hand led only by women. The Philadelphia Inquirer doepn't want nil of Pennsylvania's: guanlsmen f.enl ut one time to whip Spain, because that, It fears, would leave the com monwealth defenceless. Our contem porary forgets the exit-tenco of Prother Ilunning'.i white-winged Invincible?. The Sun wants congress to give the word 'for the construction of twenty new battle-ships or ten bnttle-Bhlps and one hundred torpedo boats. The Sun evidently has a chip on its should er.

The Proposition of Ciiban Intervention Worn the New York Sun. rt FTUH three years of warfare Hie A situation In I'ulju resolves itself lit thus: Spulu cannot put down the r" rebellion; Spain will not grant in dependence; the Cubans cannot ex pel tile Spaniards, and will not yield to thriii. Therefore, it is argued, the I'nlted States ought to Intervene. Spulu is an Independent stale. Lawrence, in Ills "Prin ciples of International Law." thu latest authoritative work on the subject In tiro English language, and one that Is con sulted constantly these days by Hie de partment of state, defines inilepeiuleneo us "Hie right of a stale to manage nil Its alfjlis. whether external or Internal, without liiterfereiiLO from other states, .is long as It respects the eoiresponUltix right possessed by each fully-sovereign member of the family of nations." While this Is true, fin it principle, It happens someilniej that another state or gioup jf stale. Interferes with proceedings of an Independent slate io compel it to do something which. If left to Itself, it would nut do, or refrain from doing something which, if left to itself, it would not do." This usually liappen when fciieli state Is engaged In an internal turmoil or an external conflict. Lawrence, says: "Interference of tills Kind Is called Inter vention." II Lawrence loutlnui-s: "The essence of Intervention is force, or the tin eat or force. In ruse the dictates of the interven ing power are disnganlrd." The general polbry of the I nlted Sl'ttex is non-lnter-vitiou. Yet. like nil general rules, it Is subject t exceptions. The most notable of these cxci-pllcn ii when Prance, under Nape teon III. by force or urin at tempted to set up a monarchical form of government under Maximilian iigalnit the wishes of the Mexican ueonle. Tho I'nlted State Interfered, ami by threat of force compelled ihe Kraneh emperor to withdraw his troops from Mexico. The result of the downfall and death of Max. liulllnn, followed by tho establishment ot the Mexlcun republic on more (.eeurti foundations than ever. This was o tine instance ot Intervention, and was a splen did vindication of the Monro doctrine. TIip gtounds upon which the I'nlted States might intervene In Spanish-Cuban affairs ure three: 1. 'Humanity. L'. The lutcrpstfc of its own citizens. ',!. The protection of Its own citizens from a threatening danger. o Although destitute of technical legality under the ordinary rules of international law as at present written, the first of tho grounds upon which the I'nlted State.? might intervene III Cuba is one that ap peals to the moral sentiment of mankhid, und under exceptional circumstances Is morally Juvtlliable. The power which In tervenes on this ground must uudertako such Intervention with a single eye to the object In view and without ulterior con siderations of self-Interest and ambition, if it is to bo Justified ut the bar of na tions. It must be kept In mind that inter national law does not lay clown the prin ciple, that cruelty on the part ot a gov ernment renders It liable, to be deprived of Its freedom of action, nor does it im pose upon states the obligations of pre venting either ordinary barbarity on the part of Its neighbors or that special kind of inhumanity which takes the form of religious persecution, -o- Lawrence sajs: "An Intervention to put a stop to barbarous and abominable cruelty is 'a high net of policy above and beyond the domain ot law.' It is desti tute of technical legality, but It rimy be morally right und even praiseworthy to a high degree." Tho question the United StuteK is called ttpon to dtcldo for itself is whether of not it Is jiutltied in inter terlng In Spanish-Cuban affairs on the broad ground of humanity. Fortunately, we are not without a precedent, created by three of the principal Kuropean pow ers. The cruo in point Is that of the In terference of Great Britain, Franco and ltussla on behalf of tho Greeks In 1SI7 nud tho following years. "Tho contest le tweeen them and their Turkish oppress ors had gene on for years." says Law rence, "and had been marked through out by the most horrible barbarities, it seemed as if It would end In the exter mination of the wholo Greek race." This description ot the Grecian struggle for nndnpendenco from the Turkish yoke npi-ds only a change of words, "Turk ish" to "Spanish" and "Greek Yuca" to "Cuban people,' faithfully and accurately to describe tho Cuban situation today. The result of the Intervention was the establishment' of tho present kingdom of I tireene, 'ilia lesiur or ininrvenrion oy the United States In Cuba will be the es tablishment of the Cuban republic. Tho Intervention of the powers nanicvi III behalf of Greece was bafed on three grounds: First, In order to comply with the leqiieFt of one of the parties: second ly, on the grounds of humanity In order to stuy the euMslon of blood; thlidly. In order to nut a stop to plrucy nnd an archy. These grounds, like those on which tho Cnlled States may base Its rljht to Intervene In Cuba, wcro tech nically Illegal under the rules of Interna tional law; but they were morally right. Speaking of this event Hlr V. Hnrcourt, rm Englishman of standing nmoiia writers on lntornatlon.il law, In Ids celebrated "HUtoiicus" letteis. says: "Tho emanci pation of Greece w.j it high act of policy, above and beyond the domain of law. As an act of policy It may have been and wan Justlllable; but II was not the h's a hontllo act. which. If she dnrot. Turkey might properly huvo resented by war. It follows from this precedent that, so far us International law Is concerned, the in tervention of tho V nlted Stales on behalf of the Cubans will be a high act of policy above and bejoud tho domain of law. As mi net of pollcv It mny be and will be jus tifiable. Spain, ot collide, may resent it if she so desire. o An olTecl or the intervention of Great Urltnin, Franco nnd Russia on behalf of the Greeks is that it estops them from objecting to the Intervention of tho I'nlt ed States on behalf ot the Cubans. een If thoy wore so Inclined, while it will have a restraining effect upon other Lit ropenn rtntes widen, if they did not for mally approve biltnentlon In the case ot Greet e, certalnlv took no steps to pre vent that Intervention and afterward ac quiesced In the result. o There have teen oilier and later In stances of Intervention on the part of the great powers, such ns that in 1SW, when they Intervened to put n slop to the per secution and nuissicro of Christians In the district of Mount Lebanon. Great Britain, by her intervention in Kgypt. a province of Turkey, which ha been car rled on with armed force ever since 12, admits thut the interests of a stale and its people are good grounds for Inter ference by one state In the Internal con cerns of another stale. Tho principal grounds ot her Intervention In Kgypt and her armed occupntion of that country are found hi her interests In tho Suez canal, and In those of lier people In Egyptian bonds. Thu justification of the policy of Intervention because of the Interests of the intervening state nnd Its people be ing thus rouna In Great Britain's course regarding Kgypt. It only remains to point out the fact that the interests of the I'nttwl States and Its people require the cessation of the strucgle in Cuba which H devastating the Island, ruining Us In dustries, and destroying its population. Trade with tho island is at a practical standstill, nnd American property Is in volved In the ruin. This covers the sec ond ground on which tho I'nlted State-, finds Justification for such Interference In Cuban affairs defined by Lawrence as In tervention. o The thlicl ground Is different from those cited In the books. Cuba is the home ot yellow fever, a disease which has again and again scourged, the people of the I'nlted States. Our own experience has taught us that this dread (Urease can bo prevented by proper sanitary precau tions. Sanitation Is an unknown science to the Spanish. The conditions for a(fi n' fut outbreak of yelolw fever, the worst ever known to mankind, arc ripe in Cuba. Once started. It will be beyond our pow eis to prevent Us transfer to our snores only six hours away, and Its spread to the Interior. Standing alom this would per haps not be sulllcieiil, es'en morally, cer tainly not legally under iiiternatloii.il law, to Justify Intervention; yet undoubtedly it adds weight to the other two grounds, just us phncy and anarchy added weight to the llrst two reasons for the Interven tion of Grcn lirltiln, France und Russia on behalf of the Greeks. o Concluding bis i em, irks on the gener..l subject of Intel vention and non-intervention Lawrence saye: "Neither sellb-.li iso lation nor undlgnlikcl lemonstrance Is the proper attitude for honorable nud self respecting states. They should lutertetre ery sparingly, and only on the clearest grounda of jiihtlce and necessity; but when they do Intervene they should make It clear to all concerned that their voice must be attended to and their wislvs curried out." In these words tho I'nlted States finds lis course In the past ap proved and Its pathway for the tuturc lihized out. siuntirr maiiti.vs acqi'ittai.. From the New York Independent. The acquittal of SheillT Slartln for the murder of strikers at Lattlmer. I'o., is a simple triumph ot Justice. V.'e are not sorry that an Indictment wns brought usalust him and thai he was put on tilil for this alleged (rime, although we have believed fium the flr-d that h was only acting In pursuance of his dun as the chief peace olticur of l.uzrrne county. It Is undoubtedly a hard thing for a man who does a painful duty falthtully to be arraigned for it as though he were a criminal. Nevertheless. the r.lreum slances surrounding the event were sueli that theie mlfcht hate b"eii some doubt In tin minds of Imnartlal men as to whether he was justified hi what he did. No such doubt Is now possible, ihe trial has been a long one. The nble judge who presided gave wide latitude to ihe prose cution, and 11 great number of witnesses were examined. All that can be known about the Hhooilng Is made known by the testimony of over a hundred wltiavse". The Jury which heard It nil agreed upon n verdict of acipilttnl wll hunt hesitation, und the sheriff Is a free man. o The result of the trial, important as It Is to Sheriff Jlartln, Is far moro Important In the Inlluence it must have oxer othr peace otllces. f a sheriff hi the simple pursuit of duty, using the best judgment he has. conies Into collision with u mob that will not obey his orders, and in which men are killed and wounded, may be convicted of murder, the effect would be to give rioting preuy nearly five course. No shrilff over whom the danger of Indictment of murder might hang would be likely 10 perform his duty with very great tidelity In preventing or sup pressing riot. He knows perfectly well thut when he faces a mob he take hH lifo 111 his hands and runs the same risk of being shot nnd killed as a soldier does In battle. If, In addition to this, he is also liable to be tried as a murderer his otllce would he one of extraordinary risk.
