Murderers of non-combatants, rav Ishers of women, assassins who ex plode mines under sleeping crews; In other winds, the Spanish devils now occupying Cuba, merit no pity und should receive no leniency. The clock should strike the hour of their final elimination from the free toll of the American hemisphere. Acceptable. The most welcome news of the sea son Is that the administration at Wash ington has put before the government at Madrid a flat demand for Cuban In dependence, with the request for nn Im mediate and unequivocal answer with in twenty-four hours. This satlslles American opinion, and nothing less could. In the light of this Intelligence the leader of the Democ racy at Washington, the Hon. Mr. Bat ley, stands forth as the statesman who was too previous. The latest Intelligence from Madrid would appear to show that the Span ish coon has about decided to come down. The President and the Ouard. Should a call come to the National Guard of the Keystone state either from the governor of Pennsylvania or from the president of the United States the members of that organization would not stop to nrgue technical law points or stand on the formalities; they would respond Immediately as one man. They would respond, whether summoned to encamp on Pennsylvania soil or direct ed to Held service in co-operation with the Cuban Insurgents. This Is not In question. Everybody concedes It. Kverybody 13 proud of It, Scrantonl nns most of all. Hut the technical Issue having nat urally arisen, and occasioned consider able confusion of opinion even among ofllcers and ex-ofllccrs of the Nntlonal Ouard, we present this morning the law on the subject. This Is the law, because It Is the ofllclal opinion of the United States government; the opinion upon which the government would act If necessity should appear for the mobilization of the Guard In defence of American territory. It will lie per ceived that according to this state ment of the cusu the president has power to order the National Guard of any state or any portion of the Na tional Guard of any state to any place within the boundaries of the United States for the purpose of quelling sedi tion or reoelllng Invasion. The order of the .president may be transmitted through the governor of the stale but need not be, necessarily; the presi dent, in this matter, Is supreme. It can do no hnim to have this point clearly and thoroughly understood. - -. Predictions that "William A. Stone will not "lie nominated for governor on June 'J appear to be on the Increase, and the stock' of the other Stone, Charles V of Warren, seems to be steadily Using. Charles W. Stone would make n governor of proved abil ity who would own himself. Honors Worthily Bestowed. The attentions, . social and ofllclal, which arc being showered upon Cap tain Slgsbee ami the honors which await him' ns soon as congress getB a breathing spell, arc hu well deserved that they will be applauded through out the world. As Senator Morgan aptly says: "I have prepared a resolution offer ing the, thanks of the congress to Cap tain Slgsbee for his manly, patriotic and courageous conduct In n moment of .wonderful emergency; when hla battleship wns destroyed; when his vessel was sinking; when perfect dis cipline wns observed by the survlvois; when he calmly left his sinking war ship In his gig, the last man to leave the tfhlp; and for hla diplomatic mes sage tQ the secretary of the navy, nt . a time when an ordinary man might have, given wny to excitement and some ebullition of resentment. I think that his conduct deserves such national ..rccognltloii. Ho, has shed lustre upon "our flag'nnd upon our navy. The coun try ought to show appreciation of his niar,velouB equipoise and self-command l'n;t(ie,ipost prltlcal position In which iitiavftjojllcer ever found himself, with his ship feloniously destroyed, In a friendly harbor, In a time of profound peace." ,t It la a happy fact that' the American navy, has never lacked In Just such jrava,.oooi and effective men aa Slgs bee. Its record ifrom the days of John Paul Jones down to the present is an unspotted record of glory. No navy In lilstory has surpassed It In the quality of Its commanding ofllcers; very few iQ.Qfcyiftvl'Wsto.uJsclplin&iot their men. Ills or little, It hn always de served the vntlne of 100 per cent. In honoring Captain SlBsbcc thu Ameil can people honor the spirit und the Judgment which havo made this coun try what It Is. The London Standard ndmlls thut In dependence for Cuba Is the, only satis factory notation and says English opinion concurs with American In de manding thin result. Meanwhile a Urltlsh fleet nt Uernittdn warns Spain to try no funny business on lirltlsh subjects In Cuba. Hlood will tell. Unfair, Untimely and Insulting. The country will learn with surprise and displeasure that the Democratic minority In the house of representa tives has, In the face of an unprece dented national emergency. Involving the momentous Issue of peace or war, abandoned precipitately the patriotic attitude which it took when the $60, 000,000 defence appropriation bill came before congress for a futile grasping for petty partisan- ndvantnge. The attempt at this critical Juncture In our government's affairs, when war may be our portion within a few hours, to make the question of our duty to humanity nnd justice In Cuba n par tisan Issue, to be kicked about In the football fashion of domestic politics, Is more than a mistake; It Is a crime a crime to the suffering victims of Span ish misrule in Cuba; an unpardonnble affront to the jatrlotlsm of the Ameri can people. We want It to be under stood that the responsibility for this trick of low partisan strategy rests directly upen the Democtatlc party. We want It also to be understood that the credit fr.r the. refusal to drag this high call of patriotic duty Into the dust and filth of partisan contention be longs solely to the Republican party. If n party Issue Is to be raised nt this time and along this line, let the align ment be clearly comprehended. No honest man can question the sin cerity of the president of the United States. No honest man can doubt that of the ISO Republican members of con gress who yesterday, in support of the chief executive of the nation, voted as one man against the demagogical ar tifice of the minority to tie the admin istration's hands, not one Is less earn estly In favor of the Independence of Cuba and the affranchisement of the starving Cuban reconcentrados than wns the youthful Texan who sought to play upon the tension of the hour for partisan profit, or than were the politi cal colleagues of Mr. Bailey who voted with him In that unseemly endeavor. . But the Independence of Cuba Is not to be recognized by means of a parlia mentary ruse for the campaign benefit of the Democratic party. If It Is to bo won nnd held It must come In response to the sober and emphatic Judgment of the undivided American people, ex pressed In due and regular manner through the proper official channels. Not Democracy's interests but Cuba's and humanity's are the stake to be considered. It is unfair to William McKlnley, and false and insulting to the real sentiment of the country, to ask the man whom the American peo ple have commissioned as their highest executive ofllclal to contend In this hour of extreme emergency simultane ously with Spanish neuchery ubroad and with partisan factiousness at home. The Amerlcnn people are under no moral or other obligations to try to break the force ot Spain's approaching downfall. Let Spain reap as she has sowed. The Question of Indemnity. If Spain can secure from the repub lic of Cuba a farewell cash donation, given upon condition that Spain hasten her going, we cannot see that it would be the business of the United States to object. Without considering whether It would or would not be right, such a present might, ns a matter of expedi ency, be ix good thing for the Cuban government. That, however, Is a detail, and from tho American standpoint a not very Important detail. We have nothing to say on that point. As u matter of fact Delegate Palma says his government probably would pay to Spain from $75, 000,000 to $100,000,000 upon condition that she acknowledge Cuban Independ ence and evueuate the Island at once, saving further suffering and trouble. This willingness to compensate a vanquished foe does credit to Cuban magnanimity, especially when we con sider what provocation Spain has given for more revengeful feelings. What we desire to emphasize, though, Is that the United States government can have no part or lot In any Issue of Indemnity as between Spain und Cuba, Tho American position Is that for crimes committed and Incapacity shown, Spain must get out of Cuba and that quickly. Whether she shall get out with a wad or with a foot print In her rear Is none of our affair, provided only that she "gits." One advantage which the president hOB over his congressional critics Is that he knows what ho Is doln? and they don't. ' 1. Spain's bankrupt treasury and ruined credit probably are stronger peace In centives than Is Minister Woodford's soft soap. The cashier of the Chemical National until, ot New York, announces that if the employes of that Institution who belonc to the National Ouard have' to answer a call to war, the bank will give them full pay while nbsent and keep their plncis open. Let every other patriotic American employer ugree to do likewise. There Is a lot of sense In this re mark from the Buffalo Express: "It ought to be plain to every enslble per son that the administration hns not been spending $".n,O00,00O to put the country on a war footing without n dearly defined purpose of making war In case Its demands nre refused. Thoso who clamor foi1 Immediate war as sume In advance that they will be ro fuscd. The president la In better posi tion to judge of that than are mem bers of congress. It would be a mon strous thing to plunge Into war with out waiting to learn whether all that Is desired may not be accomplished withcut a conflict." Murdering Cuban women nnd chll Iren, not singly but by hundred thous ands, wns a poor way to pacify Cuba and Justice docs not permit the grant ing of compromises to assassins. m No doubt It. will embarrass the Span ish government to have to give up Cuba, but it should have thought of that before It made this fate Inevitable. Conservative Words of Timely Import T 1113 Philadelphia Ledger, pcth.ips tlie most careful, Judicious nnd con servative newsppper in tho United States, snld In its leading editorial yesterday: "Thu Unllcu States does not want war with Spain, nor with any nation, and It will do whatever It may or can do to avert war if it shall bo permitted to do It with honor, dignity nnd regard for the supreme claims of Hu manity. If these things shall not be per mitted then our people will not shrink from tho alternative of pence und they will accept war with so few and low dis senting voices that the opposition will be unheard In tho general demand for the upholding of national honor and the as suranco of Justice for the oppressed. o "It Is declared that Spain proposes, first that there shall bo decreed a pro longed armistice In Cuba, lasting until October; second, Spain will concede to tho United States the privilege of sending food and medicine to tho starving and disease stricken reconcentrados on tho Island, but only In merchant vessels, un accompanied by ships of war; third, Spain Is willing to grant to tho Cubans 11 scheme of autonomy more liberal and comprehensive than that previously of fered nnd rejected but which shall recog nize In practically every essential ele ment tho continued sovereignty of Spain over Cuba. Whether or not these nre tho exact provisions of Spain's proposals enn be at present only surmised from com monly accepted report. Assuming their general accuracy, however. It Is unlikely, Incredible, even, that they will prove ac ceptable to the Intelligence and Integrity of our government or people. Neither government nor people can be Ignorant of Spanish policy. o 'it Is nn old story, and It Is not dis tinguished for good faith. One recent ex nmple of It may be found In the letter or Senor Do Lome to Senor CnnaleJ.is. Both tho author nnd the recipient of this now famous document wero high diplomatic ngents of Spain. Tho first was her minis ter to tho United States; the other, a spe cial commissioner to Washington and Cuba, accredited not to our government but to his own. Senor de Lome wroto to bis associate diplomat that Spain's plan of autonomy for Cuba was .1 trick and de. vlco of Spanish diplomacy; n scheme hav ing no other purpose than thnt of gaining time for preparation to defeat tho policy of tho United States. The letter similarly suggested that It would be a good time for tho further begullemcnt of our gov ernment to exploit the Idea of entering Industriously upon the discussion of u commercial treaty between Spain and this country. The dishonesty and Insin cerity of tho Spanlt-h government in its pretended efforts to tranqulllze Cuba by granting wise, just concessions to Its oppressed people, and to effect a commer cial treaty with us, were confessed by Da Lome, nnd fully established subsequently by the publication of his Insolent missive to his diplomatic coadjutor. o "In view ot this recent revelation of Spanish Insincerity, Spain having now tho same motive for delay as she then had, why should she ognin bo trusted and granted tho further time for prepa ration, which sho needs nnd seeks? Why should her later scheme ot autonomy be confidently accepted, when her own min ister has told us that her former one was n shnm and fraud? Why, of all In comprehensible nnd Inconsistent things, should this country feed the multitudes of men, women nnd children who, iy Spain's deliberate policy, nre being given over to the horrors of starvation, or to dlsenso and death? Spam drove them from their homes, burned their homes, barns and crops; desolated their fields, deprived them of all and every moans of bare existence, and now condescends tu say that wo may be permitted to feed them, rebuild their houses and bams, sup ply them with seeds nnd implements, nnd nfford them, from our stocks and store, in every way, with the means of living? o "Thcso means should and must bo tur nlshcd them, If not by Spain, by us. Their rescue is a duty which wo cannot put from them or us, which is owing to Uod and humanity. If they will not do It wo must nnd will do it. But why should this country not say to Spain, Feed your people, whom you aro starv ing, or let them go free? Why should this country not . say to Spain, nt any risk, If necessary, You shall censo your cruel barbarities, your policy of Inhuman massacre, of devilish starvation In Culm? Why nsk Spain, If wo Intend to send thu bread und medicines, In what sort of ship wo shall send them? Who made Spain tho nrbltor of 5nd's laws nnd tho laws of humanity? TT.tro are worse things than war. and they nro to bo dally seen In Spain's Cuban policy, Even In the battle din. said Lowell, there may be divined some text of Cod's, and It is as truo now ns ever before it was, that 'the sheathed blade rray rust with darker ln' than that of blood shed In the cause of oppressed humanity and natlonul honor. o "The country wants peace, and It wants the assuranco of it. The present condi tion Is not one of peace. The whole land rings with tho clamor ot preparations for war. Business Is paralyzed by uncer tainty; enterprise has been halted and fears to advance. The condition Is in tolerable; it is disastrous and ruinous. Our government will bo unwise to prolong It by granting Spain more months In which to Increase her warlike strength. It cannot afford to palter with opportun ity: with the honor and dignity ot the nation; with the claims ot humanity. Peace, all Intelligent, patriotic men want, but they do not want it as tho price of national dishonor. The spirit of pence, of fair compromise, of Just concession should prevail In tho councils of the gov ernment In all Its dealings with Spain, but the spirit ct justice nnd humanity should not be surrendered to that of sor did arid cowardly expediency." citi'.Dir wiii:ui', nut:.

A PAPER WITHOUT A COUNTRY. From tho Now York Sun. No American can read without indig nation tho articles which the editor of tho Now York livening Tost Is writing and publishing from duy to day concern; Ing Cuba. That newspaper alone nmong all the Journals of the land defends Weylerlsm. extenuates Spain's Inhuman wnrfnro In the Island, treats In lllppatit phrases the sufferings of the rcconccn trndos as something which Cuba hns brought unto herself, nnd regards tho patriots who nre lighting for freedom only as pernicious disturbers of Wall street values. Amerlcun patriotism, tho love of tho flag, sympathy with hero Ism, hopo for tho Independence of a bravo people, aro almost dally tho themes of satirical observations by tho ono news paper of tho United States which Is nt this tlmo for peace at any price and for the dollnr every time, would bo unfair to attribute to any editor, however nllen his henrt and con temptible his sentiments, nn att(tde llko that above described without exhibiting the words of his own pen which Justify the description. First, ns to Mr. h. 1.. dodkln's apology for the stnrvntlon of non-enmbatnnts. The Evening Post treats tho devilish policy which has made the Island a wilderness and sacrificed .In nocent lives to a number variously esti mated nt from two hundred thousand to half a million, as If It were the usual and Inevitable Incident of war waged by n civilized natlo.n: "This measure of de stroying people's homes In order to pre vent their furnishing supplies to the ene my Is not nn Invention of the Spaniards. There is nothing Spanish about It. It Is exactly whnt Sheridan did In tho Shen andoah Valley and Sherman In South Carolina. It Is what nil military com manders do If hard nressed, and if they think It will further their cause. Ono ot tho peculiarities of war Is that It rids men of all restraints Imposed, In tlmo of peace, by religion und humanity. If hanging or shooting non-combatants or burning their houses will help a general to victory, he hangs or shoots them or burns their houses. Other warriors woull think him n ninny If he did not." o ' Is there any other editor in Amerlci, calling himself an American, or any othr newspaper In America, capable of writing or printing thnt? The butchery of help less women and children, the hanghg and shooting of non-combatants, the starvation of hundreds of thousands-so these are tho ordinary methods of on ducting war common to the great cim maudcrs of all civilized nations; and Spain's commanders are no moro crlmnal In that respect than was Sherman or Sheridan or Lee or Oeorgo Washington! Tho warrior Is a "ninny" who Is nit a Wevler! o Next as to Mr. K. L. Codkln's trgu ment that the Cubans have brought their sufferings upon themselves by perslttent ly rebellious behavior, and thnt the fate of their cause Is something which does not concern us. Ho says: "Grnnthg, as wo havo to grant, that the Spaniards have a right to put down tho relelllon by force of nrms, we havo to grart also their right to use tho ordinary military means to accomplish their objeu', and devastation is one of them. As the French say. Qui vout la fin viut les moyens. All objection to tho doings of the Spaniards In Cuba, therefore, on the ground that they cause great suffering would bo rather absurd, unless ivo pro posed to relieve tho suffering on tho nl lopnthlc plan. Tho plnn now before the country Is 11 homeopathic plan. That Is, we propose to cure fio Cu bans with a llttlo of "the hair of the dog that bit them," or In other words, cure like by like. They have brought nil their present sufferings on themselves by armed resistance to -bad government. They have done o delib erately, and have persisted In thir resist ance for nearly threo years. They can stop this suffering by ceasing to fight. In other words, they havo exposed them selves to death und starvatlot nnd Im poverishment with full knowielge of the probable consequences of their conduct." 0 Tho Insurgents, continues Mr. K. L. Codkln, should bo allowed to carry on "tho work of slaughter nnd instruction" without any help from us. If we refrain from Intervention "wo shall not havo to police tho Cuban population after tho war, and chase tho rebels through mi asmatic forests und marshet, and com pel them to lead a sober, civilized life." "A good Cuban war, that would destroy plenty of Spaniards," could not bo car iled on by us, "on land nnd sea. under ono million dollars a duy, If for that sum." But If wo let them alone, leave them to bo starved and butchered under what the Evening Post regards as the ordlnnry military practices of civilized nations, "they will stew la their own grease, nnd do their own policing," 0 Such Is this alien's view of the situa tion In Cuba, and of our duty with ref erence to it. It Is almost tho language of Insanity, but the only insanity in his case Is that of a nature In vhlch egotism has becomo monomania. The falntcBt spark of the Americanism vhlch Inspires and unites all other citizens, native or naturalized, in a crisis like this, is lack ing in him nnd In his paper. lie Is the man without a country at tho present time, and the Kvenlng Post Is the news paper without a country. 1112 Kit AND HKM.IUEUK.VCV.
