If the editor of the Times wants proof that The Tilbune's circulation is stead ily growing we thall bo happy to give It to him. We may add that The Trib une's circulation is among Intelligent, appreciative and steadfast people, the mtlnstny of Ihp. community and tho ones whose patronage makes business. Tt Is the kind of circulation that In telligent ndvertlsers value most highly the kind that brlnirs results. To Be Settled Finally. The best of available Information as to the pieldcnt's policy lor Cuba points to tarly nnd determined lnter M'tilloii. The nature of this Intel ven tlon lem'ilns fluouded in mystery, but tho concensus of opinion indlcatts the pio'iable despatch of relief for the stuiving ifconcentradoos on a much lrtiger i-e.ilo than heretofore , and un-ili'i- tlu I'nitid States goernment's ofl'cKil nuplccs. Coupled with this may and we hope will come the iccog nltion of Cuban independence. It In to be noted with leference to this latter step that It would In volve fni-rc idling tonscquonces First uniong these would ho the ability of the lnuiivut goseinment Inimedlitelv to hell Its bonds and. with the pioceeds of s-uch sale, to undertake with lcnewed entity the woik of expelling the Span ish milltaiy and t.ial foices fiom the inland The insui gents could have done this successfully a year ago had they at that time been accoidcd bel ligerent lights. Yet leeognltlon of tin Ir Independence by so powerful a nation as the Unite 1 States vould now confer upon them much grjater stiength than belligerency lecognltlcn would have lunferred then. It would remove all doubt of their ultimate triumph and render absolutely safe the placing of Ametlcan or Hngllsh capital in pur chase of their securities. Hut It would do moic them this. It would bring Cuba directly under tho wing of the Monroe di'ttlne. So long ns Spanish soveiclguty was at leat nominally conceded by this government tho Monroe doctrine pledged us In a certain sense to non-interference. Un der that doctrine we could have Joined with Spain In repelling a foreign inva sion of OUba. Hut with Cuban inde pendence iccognized by us, we would become pledged to join with the Cuban ro eminent in expelling Spain. This need not inohe war. We could then say to Spain with entile propriety "You must get out, but In consideration of our going quietly and without un nocess.uj bother, wo will u?e our good influences with the Cuban government to per-unde it to offer you a cash sum in payment of your property tights in the inland." Equity rights Spain does not posses. Spain's bniliaile misrule lias canceled whatever equity rights Uie may once hae had. Hut Spain pos sesses coitiin property lights which It lellnqulshed to tho insurgent govern ment might well be paid for. even though lor no other leason than to expedite Spain's depaiture nnd give to the Spanish government some balm for its Inevitable humiliation. Should Spain desllni' this olhe-bianch nnd le tuse to budge, then it would become our duty uudei the Monroe doctrine to c je-ct her forcibly. Such ejection as a hit ic-oit would not Involve the for ftltuie hy us of the v.otld's svmpathj , ut least, not the foifeltuie of the sym pathy of well-lnfoimed European opin ion. That opinion undei these circum stances would undoubtedly approve nnd applaud our course. Rut In nny event the long-mooted question Is now near llnal settlement, and In settling It Piesldeut MeKlnley will have the unconditional support of n united nation. Since tho Maine disaster Geneial Le- lias been named successively for presi dent, vice president and senator nnd ft his friends aren't satisfied. What's tho matter with first making him min ister plenipotentiary to the Independent lepubllu of Cuba? . burope's Position. It Is Improbable that there Is any tiuth In the London Mall's assertion that ItuFflla, Tranco nnd Germany are In league to help Spain to keep Cuba. As u matter of fact tho only disinter ested European nation which has failed to communicate to tho president at Washington an expression of sympathy with tho American attltudo on tho Cu ban question is Austria, whose emperor Is closely related to the Spanish queen legent. Austria could not, In view of this fact, be expected to remain other than neutral; indeed, she might bo par doned for throwing her "moral influ ence" on Spain's side. Whether she shall do this or not will not be mate rial., , Hut If every power In Europe should ' sldu .with Spain we do not see that the United States would be called upon to recejdo by so much as a hair's breadth from Its present and prospective posi tion'. We know wo aro right. Well informed Europeans also know that we are. A combination of Europeans gov ernments In hostility to tho United States on this Issue would indicate fiimply the Instinctive aversion of roy iil aristocracy to successful democracy and on that issue, If it must ever be come an issue, we might as well engage 'with them first as laB(t. """"It will, of cqur$e, never he possible for European Yankee-haters to effect such a hostile combination on nny largo scale, and especially would It bo im possible at this time, when many Uu- ropoan nations are depending upon the United States Tor food supplies to meet liome deficits. Thu future will douut lcpfl urlnrr Incrensed friction between our government nnd the Kov'crntnentn of continental Kutope We Hlinll need to widen our prepuintlonB for commer I'lnl and naval defense V e shrill need to recognize Hint we have outgrown our primitive insularity nnd nwuken to the enlarging sphere of our national re sponsibilities. All thla rany gome day bring us Into u conflict with some of tho Jealous povvom of Europe, but the contingency Is far removed. Just now our duty Is toward Cuba, and It must bo faced and mot In strnlghtfoi ward, Yankee fashion. The piobnblllties are that Mr. Wana maker's lieutenants nre meiely Joking when they attribute their defeat in Lancaster county Saturday to the use of money by their opponents. The Gubernatorial Battle. Up to and Including the primaries held on Saturday, 143 of tho 3C2 dele gates who will comprise the next Re publican state convention had been elected. Of this number tho support ers of Mr Wanamaker concede that Senator Quay can Influence the votes of 65, Including those who have been Instructed or no good as Instructed for Congressman AV. A. Stone for govei nor, as follows: Berks, 7; Chccter, 7; Cumberland, 3; Jefferson, 3; Lancaster, 12; Philadelphia, 31; Snyder, 1, and Union 1. Mr Wannmakcr lays claim to 3S un contested delegates from Philadelphia and to the B In Ulalr county who were Instructed for him on Saturday. The other Instructed delegates arc divided ns follows: Congressman C. W. Stone, 7, mnde up of 1 fiom Cameron, 3 from MeKean and 3 from Venango; Ex Senntor Cooper, S from Delaware; Con gressman Arnold, 4 from Clearfield; Ex-Congressman Lelsemlng, 10 fiom Luzerne, and Congressman Connell, 2 from Wnjne. If the forces of C. W. Stone be added to the Wanamaker "trength wo have HO anti-Quay votes ngalnst CI distinc tively Quay votes and the remaining 2S votes scattered, leaving 21S delegates vet to bo elected. Had Mr. Wanamak er begun ns early as Senator Quay to lay plans for the captuie of delegates It Is possible that the two men would today stand on a more oven footing. It Is certain that the present advant age enjoyed by Senator Quay will not be maintained in equal ratio If the Wanamaker people continue to make In the remaining counties the hot fight which they have so lately begun. That they aie handicapped somewhat by the peculiar attitude of Mr. Wanamaker seems probable. He Is making rather a negative battle with the Intention of forcing a compromise than an affirma tive one for his own peieonal benefit. This, on the other hand, gives to his candidacy a sentimental Interest which It would otherwise lack. The fight Is too joung yet to war rant the making of predictions. But It eeems reasonable to assume that if Senator Quay undertakes to force the nomination of Colonel W. A. Stone and If all overtures for a compromise In the Interest of paity unity are In the meantime rejected by him, the Juno convention will be tho scene of n fight so hot that tho nomination of Stone would not neccssailly be equivalent to his election. It Is not et too late to aveit such a disaster, but If It Is to be averted theie must bo mutual conccn slon and fair play. The temper of the people still points to this as a party ncces3lty. The le christening of one of those new cruisers In honor of Albany, I. Y., can only bo accounted for upon the sup position tint the boat 'is half a centuty behind the times. When Soranton gives her name to a warship that ship must be up to date. Christian Science Again. Consideinble criticism has been pro voked by the nctlon of a committee of the New Yoik legislature in icpoitlng favoiably a bill requiring that all regu lar practitioners of medicine In that state must heieafter be licensed but making an exception in favor of piae tltloners of the so-called Christian Sci ence school. The Philadelphia Itecoid condemns this action seveiely and con cludes a savage nitlcle with these words: "So far fiom tho practices of 'Christian Science' being countenanoed, they should be Heated like nny other swindle. It Is hard for the police power to deal with such a humbug so long as It does not cause scandal, and when Its victims do not complain; but while modern society does not condemn witches to death, there Is still law enough In every enlightened commun ity to punish fraud In any form in which It may be practiced." We recognise the unfairness of com pelling one class of healers to go to considerable pains to procure licenses to practice their profession while an other class. In a certain sense com peting with the former, nro permitted to practice unconditionally. Tho law should not respect either persons, fads or "schools". If It Is worth while to regulate the practice of healing or would-be healing at all It should be regulated without discrimination and all who decline to submit to such regu lations as the general opinion deems wise and necessary should forthwith he branded as public enemies and prose cuted accordingly. nut there la nothing to be gained In these premises hy losing one's temper. Burning witches didn't destroy witch craft nor will the calling of ugly names prevent tho spread of the Chtlstlan Science monomania. The bulk of the men and women who fancy they can be cured of long-standing diseases by virtue of faith alone are unquestion ably sincere, and should bo given every reasonable chance to accord to their peculiar thoery a fair trial. If when that trial has taken placo they remain undeceived, statutory law cannot mend matters, but appeal must bo mado to a merciful Providence. In 1762 Havana was besieged by tho British with n force largely reciulted from the thirteen American colonies, Havana woa captured on July 13 of that year, among the victors being "Mad Anthony" Wayne, afterward a general In the war of tho Revolution. Wayne then led a company. Th Urlt- Ish could not stay In Havana on ac count of the climate and yellow fever. They soon abandoned the city, nftcr having lost one-half their Invading force by disease. In 1S0S the Kngllsh again uiptured Havana, holding It for one year. During that year Its com merce doubled. Oood government now would no doubt multiply Its shipping trade by ten. . ' The Klondike has J tut had Its first lynching lice, which, with tho steady advent of new Jag emporiums, would S"cm to fully establish the Klondlko's claim to be called civilized. If wo shall demand an Indemnity for the blowing up of tho Maine, put It down as our guess that Spain will pay promptly and bo sincerely glad to bo let off so earllv. Several of our contemporaries ore dlscusfllng the question whether If war should come our naturalized citizens would fight for the flag. Of course they would. As the advance agent of prosperity there Is no reason why Mr. MeKlnley should not assist In opening the powder mills as well an the other mills. Judging from tho vote In Lancaster, Uncle John WanamaktT's campaign thunder Is dangerous chiefly In the re coll. The long and short of It seems to bo that Senator Kauffman banked on the holler-than-thou bluff once too often. An entire week has elapsed since Mr. Bivun last said something for publica tion. What can the matter be? ilr. Wanamaker didn't expect to get many delegates In Lancaster, anhow. Onderesfimafing Yankee Resoles Piom tho Washington l'ost. , ,om Fs ORLIQN Journals and even foreign goveiinrci W can hardly nvoul esti mating tho possibilities of tho Unlt- d Stutcs ns u power Interested in tho determination of International , fllon Not that there Is an reason to think we shall over abandon the tra ditional pollej of avoiding all outside en tanglements Our iidvnntiigi s as nn Iso lated people, with no direct Interest In the questions that nro liable at any mo ment to drive all Europe Into wai, aro too many and too obvious to bo thiown away for mi thing we could gain by tho most nttiactlvo alliances. Still, so vast and so rcsouiceful a country, with so large and active a popul.it Ion, Is a spectacle that Is alluring to those who llguie on tho In ternational problems of tho future. Such a treim ndous influence could be exercised by n nation of "0,000,000 people, that only those who uro lntlmitcly acquainted with tho character of our people can leave It out of tho account In estimating the world s political forces. Yet those who figure on It show a large Ignorance of our qualities jmd our means when they speak of us as wholly unpicpared to uphold wlntever honor nnd obvious duty or de fenso might lequlro. o It is found that wo have not only nmple mcins for tho purchase of whatever Is necessary foi war purposes, but also guns and ammunition and avallablo ships enough to afford ample protection to our coasts and our commerce on tho seas. Wo have only a small legulir army of some 30 000 effective men and olllcers. und an oig.inlzed mllllla of 1UO0O. Half of the latter, with the tens ot thousands of able bodied survivors of the civil war, could supply drill m.istcis und olllceis enough to plico on an effective footing tho larg est army tho world has ever seen. Wo have tho mitcrlnl for such an army. It Is estimated tmt CO per cent, of tho male citizens of mllltarv age would be availa ble foi service, making tho unparalleled force of C.OOOOoO men It is tho quality of this available material that tho foreign student does noi understand. At tho breaking out of tho civil war an utterly undisciplined, undiblcd army was put in tho field, and the ofl.cers had no closer ncqinintanco with military affalis than tho men. The common soldiers had lived under demociatle Institutions and vveio suddenly placed under tho conditions of an absolute mon-irchv. They wero Igno rant of the arNli cr.iej of shoulder-strap? that Is essential in t.n nrmy. Yet to their olllccrs, wllh whom thoy had lately been on teims of poclal cqu.illtv, they gave a positive, If not alvvavs cheerful obedience. o Thero was never a more "intelligent ninii It was said that In every regiment, could bo found a man who could repali and run an engine or construct a bridge. Tha men knew their rights and Insisted on them, but unavoidable haidshlps nnd deprivations thev bore with u good nature that Is chiraetrilstlc of Ameilcans Thlr power of endurance was extraordinary. They qulckl mastcied tho drill that Is necessary to nn cftctlvo army. But thoy lost nono of their Individuality and force o character under severo discipline. A chargo was ordered on a line of works at tho foot of Missionary llldge. It was car ried with such spirit that tho men them selves icganlless of commands and to tho astonishment of the commanders, deter mined to scalo the steep hills and tako the formidable works abov e. Tho officers" fell In with tho humor of tho men and thus one of tho most Important und brilliant achievements of the war was the Insphn tion nnd work of tho American private soldier. o It Is because they luck knowledge of our material resources, and. especially of tho quick Intclllgi nee and adaptability of our people, that Spanish mlltnry otllcers atnd church dignitaries mislead tho masses of their people ns to our strength and cour age.Europcans, naturally enougfl, aro not able to see any difference between the American people, and tho masses of tnelr own countriiren. ON A PEACE FOOTING. Fiom. the Philadelphia 1'ress. Tho prudent and necessary propaia tlons which tho United States Is making to put Its peace military establishment on an elllclent footing uro being com mented on In this country and regal ded In Europe as If the United States weto arming on tho scale noeded for a great war. The steps which have been and aro taken constitute an Indispeiibabla pro vision for national safety under condi tions which may at any moment becomo serious; but to treat these steps as It tho United States weto expanding Its mili tary establishment to a vvur footing is pieposterous. o Tho two ships which have been bought do not, bo far as naval clhclency goes, replaco tho Maine If any of tho lesser battleships for sale aro procured they will not add to tho navy ns mueir as was expected to bo added this spring hy tho Alabama Keaifage and Kentucky when these vessels wero planned In peace and for a peace establishment. Tho sea men enlisted have been asked, begged and Implored In every secictarys report for five years. To the army there have been added two artillery regiments, which ev erybody concerned, including all Intelli gent nowspapcrs, have been Insisting weie needed for ten years past. Not a man has been added to officers, lino or staff, nnd no one whoso opinion Is worth considering deems our army large enoujh for peace needa, or has for ten years. Tho ammunition bought la needed sim ply to give our coast guns more than two rounds apleco which Is alt they had and to fill tho mngnzlncs of cur war vesnols unco, for Socretnry Long last Deccmbor nulled for an aprroprlntlon, which he did not get, to do this, it Is lltcrnlly truo that thus far no expenditure hns been ordorcd which tho exports in tho army nnd have not for from live to ten vonrs urged ns neccsBary In profound peace. During four vcars of deficits our mllltnry and naval establishment has got into a disgraceful condition ns to supplies. How badly off It Is tho public has no Idea. With prudence and wlso provision these lacks nro being mado up, and when they nro mado up tho United States will have Its small army nnd nnvy In about the ef lllclent condition In which they ought to bo nil tho time. Fortunately, this piepnr ntlon, thorougly carried out, will give the United Stntes a force large enough to command pence and meet war with a third-class power. o When nil Is dono wo shall have, mlll tnry and naval, a force on land one third and at sea one-clghth ns largo as England has ready nil the time. IN MEMORY OP LAFAYETTE. rrom tho Tlmes-Horald. Congress has been naked to appropriate $")0,000 for the erection of a monument to Lafayette, to be presented to tho French people, and set up at some selected place In Paris. It is a creditable movement, tardily begun. One need not rellect that tho French Intervention which Franklin flunlly secured In 177S was Induced by a hope that Louis' might regain the Can adas, or at least some of his older poj posslons hi America. Lnfajetto had drawn his sword In the colonial cause almost a year eat Her. Americans need not remember tho quar rel with Fiance which so culckly suc ceeded the winning of our own Independ ence. Lafajetto was America's fiJend nlwajs. In li24 ho camo again to tho United States and spent moro than n year In the nation his generous hand had helped to establish Ills memory Is en titled to all tho honors which this later hut not less grateful generation can pay. There Is something pecullurly attractive hi Latevctto'a espousal of tho American cause. Ho was les than 20 c.us old, a nobleman of wealth, when at his own ex pense he fitted out a ship and tcndeied his sword and his fortune to the colon ies. Doubtless ho brought moio than n mntcrlnl nld, und Washington did not overrnte him when bo added tho gifted Frenchman to his personal staff, Is not likely Lafavettr was actuated bv anything hut noble motives True, on his second vlclt to tho United States or, rather, Just before his departure for homo In ISi'-congress gavo him 21 OoO ncrcs of land nnd $200 000 in money But that -vas almost half a century nftcr tho servlco was rendeied His net seems to ha.'o been ns disinterested as the proof ot rec ognition wns graceful. But In this day, when nnother century Is closing. It would bo well to link together tho two great republics by such lend ns a Lnfajette statue, presented by Americans nnd erect ed in Frarce, might supplv. The "Lib erty" In New York harbor is more than than an expression of sentiment. It Is moro than a gift from one nation to an other, or from one artist to n distant city. It Is an advance toward the better knitted universal brotherhood, tho crown ing ot which shall mako fotever impossi ble tho waste and the woe of war. And this projected tribute to Genernl Laf-iy-ctto Is another step in tho same direction. THE REAL ISSUE. From the Now York Sun. Tho excitement waiting for tho report upon tho Maine calls for a statement of tho two Ideas which aro at tho bottom of tho Cuban question In Its beailng upon tho United States. First, the policy of this government to ward Cuba does not depend upon the con clusion of the court of inquiry as to whether tho Maine was blown up or ex plodedthat Is to say, whether tho cause of her destiuctlon camo from without or within Tho obligation to stop Spanish baibarlty in Cuba and tho opportunity to deliver Cuba from Spanish trinsatlantlc domination go hand In hand nnd continue, regardless of tho fato of our lost battle ship. Secondlv. tho future attltudo ot this government toward Cuba does not depend upon tho response of Sp iln to any dema id for reparation, which maj follow tho le port that tho Mnlno was blown up, with or without connivance In Havana Spain s submission to every demand of ours can not altct tho situation by tho bicadlh of a hair Tho center of the situation is Cuba. Cuba, surrounded by the svmpathy and traditions of the United States, by our re lations to the Western world and tho Western world's relation to Europe, Is the guldo for our policy towaid Spam, and tho cry of "Hurry!" which comes to us allko from the heroism and tho miser) of Cuba, Is echoed by evei slate of the Union. ENGLAND AND A.UEU1CA. Editor of Tho Tribune Sir. Thanks for tho fair. Impartial view jou take of Britain's friend ship for America. You know tho way to court tho friendship that should exist betwetn the two gieatest nations. If wo had a few moro rapets devoted to tho Interests of thu people in place of tho ellow Jingo sheets, wo would have moro success, our peoplo would be better In formed and as far as newspapers edu cate, be better educated. I hope ou will continue to glvo the same fair, honest expression to the sentiment existing between the two English-speaking nations and never cater to the rabble as was dono in an article vvhlrh 1 Eaw tho other day, in which the moio Ignorant peoplo wero led to believe this was not an Anglo-Saxon nation, because all the people of this country were not of pure English blood, what lit tic n can boast ot having nn Inhabitants except of soma ono race? This argument Is too absurd to oven contradict. I, aB an Englishman born, with strong lovo for America, my country, can say that all honest English men aro friendly to America and proud of her. Only Jingo Englishmen of whom thero nro only a few, ever deride our free institutions nnd they are encour aged to do so by reading some aittclo like tho one referred to.
