The adoption of this resolution yes terday by the house of representatives by the practically unanimous vote of 322 to 19 adds a noble chapter to Ameri can histor,, to bo supplemented today, it is hoped, by equall emphatic action in the senate. If the latter body Is ise it will stand, not on hair-splitting-, but accept and ratify, with all possible speed, this abundantly satisfactory pledRO and mandate of speedy Cuban freedom. No title friend of Cuba could consistently ask for more nor be con tent with less. The dav was one of conflict, turmoil and creat excitement, culminating In some scenes and phases which veie well forgotten; but on the whole it was a day former hereafter to be memoi able; a day which hlstoi. will in futuie point to as having added to civiliza tion's credit an entiy lelleetlntr aug mented luster upon the Ameilcan char acter and the Ameilcan Hub. This day the 13th of April will be lit to rank In davs to come as Cuba's Fourth of July and to be celeluated by all loveis of fieedom as the day of deliverance of a liberated race. It was a day of gloty. The fact that both rides at AVnih In'jton are accusing each other of being influenced liy bond speculation renders it probable (hat there Isn't a word of truth in either btory. "We do not be ,lleve that in a tlmo like this, -when the patriotism of the people Is fast rising to the boiling point, there Is a man in either branch of congress hose vote could be influenced by financial consid erations. Talk to this effect is sim ply the froth that collects on top of every heated difference of opinion. Europe Will Be Neutral. Theie are some foreign papers which aro not deceived by the funny business of Spanish diplomacy. Here, for in stance, Is an opinion from the Toronto Globe, a paper not glen to lightness of utterance: "Acting, it Is said, under the ndvlce of the powers of Km ope, Spain has pioclaimed a brief aimlstlce with the Insurgents,. There is a ery hollow sound about it. Such .i pioposl tlon from Spain strikes one as looking remarkably like manoeuviing for posi tion. This conclusion is hastened by the declaration sent out from Spanish sources that If this armistice falls to bring about a cessation of the snuggle In Cuba the Spanlaids will receive the moral suppoit of the povveis We know perfectly well that Spain will not hae the moral suppoit of Utitain in such a contingency. We have the best giouuds for believing that should a httuggle ensue Great Hiltaln's moral Kuppoit would go to the United States. We may well hesitate to believe tlit tbe powcis would set themselves to bilng about n coalition of the Kngllsh spealtlng nice." This opinion Is jecehing dally coi roboratlon tiom vniious sources.

'lhe Picslilent's Peal Purpose. Judge iloss(iip of the 1'edeial couit foi the Xoithein dislih t of Illinois has dullng the entile ionise or the Cuban piohloin, been n lOnslstent advocate of the polity of forcible Intel volition alung the lines suggested In the pic"-i-dent's inewni?!'. It Is believed that he has umltlhutcil nut a little to the shap ing of thnl mi singe In an Intel view In tin Chicago-Times lleiald he ic views the subject eNliausllvely and in a maiinet woitliy of public conMdein tion IK tltst lerltes tlie hli-lor of (he pidblini down to the time of (he des- ttuctlon of the Maine, laying stiess upon the steady giouth of public sym pathy for the Ins-utgent tati'-e, and lie continues- "The dlllicultles of the situation, though diminished by this unanimity of sentiment, were, however, by no means dispelled. 'What should be done? Should we declnie war on ac count of the sinking of the Maine? In all fullness that could not be done, when our own Juiy of Inquliy had ic turned a veidlct which did not ilx upon the iiuihoiltlcs of Spain any pin pose to destroy. Contldeied In connection with other facts, the Maine catas tiophe, evidencing as It did the ina bility of Spain to maintain order In her own hatbors. Is a potent aigument In favor of the policing of the island and its harbois by an outside power. Hut consldeied nlone, the failuie of proof Implicating beyond meie negli gence of the Spanish nuthoilties causes it to fall shortof a casus belli. War for vengeante or for clinstls ment is never justifiable eccpt upon pi oof of the giavest wiong intentionally peipetiat ed. The wiong In tills case was gieat, but the intention Ilea never been shown. The Judgment of dlsinteiested mankind and of hlstoi y would never Justify a war under such clicum stances, except as a means to com pel indemnity. Who would excuse n war by Gloat Hiltaln or Fiance against us If one of her war ships had gone down in the haibor of New Yoik under cltcumstances-showing an ex ternal cause but failing to show com plicity on the pait of oui government, and especially w Ithout glv lug us an op poitunlty to make good the loss, so far as such los can be made good? I.lfo for life Is taken only when the loss of the 111 st life Is cleaily the lestilt not of negligence or Inattention but of purposed muider. The piesident's pol icy stood biavely agaliiht a war pie dleated upon any Insulllcient leuson, though It might be populai." At this point Judge Giosscup calls attention to the cumulative evidence showing the Inhumanity of Spain's rule in Cuba and cites the announced determination of the president that it must be stopped a conclusion uuivei sally appioved. But how? Should the means employed be iccognitlon of Independence, followed by aimed In tervention, or should it be simply armed Intervention to pacify the Is land? "The former," he contends, "has almost Insupetable difficulties. Itec ognitlon of Independence Implies that In our judgment the Insurgent gov ernment has already conqueied Its In dependence. In point of fact, how ever. It has not. If It had, then urmed Intervention would he un necessary. Recognition of indepen dence and aimed Intel vention as mem bers of the same proposal contiadlct each other. Independence alieady achieved needs no outside help. The proffer of outside help belles the claim that independence has alieady been achieved. A pioposal so self-contia-dlctoiy could not help but be regaided by the world as Inslnceie. It would be uttilbuted to the viU of this na tion for win, lather than to the facts of the situation. Hut. iven a weightier leuson agaliiht leeognltlon exist Not even the Cuban Junta claim that the lusui gents have possession of the whole of Cuba. Xo one ac quainted with the facts claims that they aie In coiuiol of the entlie iblaud. Spain is still in possession of Havana and of (lie western pinv lutes. Recognition could at inut go only to me extent oi tne actum pies-ent pos sessions of the Insurgents. Ate theie. then, to be two llagt on the island -the Hug of the lepubllc and ill ling of thu queen the one floating owi the east, tin other waving ovir the nip Itul and the west.' (Jr. recognizing the Independence uf the lepublh, which Is In possession of lhe east end of the Island, do we piopose to make our selves its allies, to conquer oi to clilve out the queen In the we-t.' That would not be leeognltlon ot liulep. p. deme; It would be an alliance, offen sive and defensive, with th lusiugeiit goveiiiiiieut, and iig.iln-t the Spanish government, and It might make us, un der the luws of nations, lopoiiHlhle for tin conduct of nut all). ' All these oiihldfiatlon, In the Judrc's opinion, had much weight In determining the executive to leioni nifiid aimed but iieiituil intervention, which, the Judge boileves. humus sim. ply that the war cm the Island of Cuba must tloi-o; (hat the peopl theie must bo pet milted to go about theli usual vocations, and Unit (he cuder thus ie stoied must be kept, with L'nclo Sam as the piilieemun. If Spain icslstH, its execution will icquiic thu naval and nitlltaiy fences of the I'nlted States government. "Hut iliu Ameilwiti mlll toiy oil the llhiud would," he adds "be only the fcubstltutlon or civilized mill, lary nils for imwiu buibailHiu. It vniiiil In Dm mi tu i nf thing, rnnllntle until an effective civil government could be established. The logic of such a peace would expel the flag of the Spaniard.

It would stait oft the new government free fioln burdens of an unjust bond Issue or ftont other debt and free fiom the disadvantages of military in tilgue. Intel vention of this thaincter would be, of couise, attended with cates and dangers. I do not think that any peace In Cuba tan be made to lust except thioiic.li inteiventlon, Hut unless we ttiin our backs upon Cllb.l llltogelhel, aw Intel Velltlpll foi peine not for vengeance against Spain, not In the lnleiest of a paitlsan to the contest, hut foi the Heest oppor tunities foi the until u -seems to be the wisest solution of the dllllculty."

With that motive want ing In our ease, we may prefer to scenic tlio commendation (hat would cerdilnlv mine from those nations that ure bound themselves by the Declnrallon of I'arls, In observing tlmt while wo nro not so bound, yet we volimtailly abstain from Is suing letters of mul que.

Is somewhat different, nnd yet even there nearly or quite nil the foiegolng consid erations, taken up ono by one, would seem to be in some mensute operative. Accordingly, although the Madrid gov ern "tit may find It good policy to thrent en us with privateering. It seems likely that the'very conditions of modern war fare, nnd particularly of a conflict be tween Spain and our country, would make it nn element ot minor Importance, even on her part.

There aro probably no more far-Mghted business men, ns a class, than those en gaged In the anthracite coal Industry In these valleys. For several years It has been noticed thnt a large number ot the conl operators in this section have be come identified with bituminous mining Interests, not only In the western and south estetn fields of PeniiBjlvanla, but some of them In distant western stntes While this fact has heietofoie been very geneially regarded as merely a branch ing out of business enterprise It Is not Improbable that with far-sighted sagacity these locnl operators and capitalists have been taking precautionary steps against the curtailment of the demand for an thracite by reason of the encroachment)) of bituminous upon the markets foimerly monopolized by unthracito. o The recently chartered Conemaugh Coal iX.
