much ns one soldier thus llngpi, the
mandate of the house resolution will
be unfulfilled and the president If iec
I'iaiit In obeying that mandate, would
be liable to Impeachment. So that, in
effitt the house resolution means pie

the sole purpose for which they hne
taken up aims against Spaln-namtly,
the establishment in Cuba, "by the free
ai lion of iho people theieof, of a stable
and independent goeinment of their
own"? The Insmgents have thicateried
to tin n their armed forces against the
I'nited States if the United States shall
land tioops in Cuba foi the put pose of
forcing them to accept the Hag of
Spain, and they would be thoioughly
Justified In executing this tin eat. J3ut
American troops aie not to be landed
in Cuba for that purposo. Such a pur
pose has never been entertained by the
American people. Such a puipose could
never bo executed by any American
ollidal In face of the existing senti
ment of tho American peoph. Tho in
surgents have also threatened forcible
resistance to forcible annexation, und
here, too, they would be thoioughlv
Justified weie foiclble annexation at
tempts! by this countrj. That, as
President MoKlnley hays, would be a
crime according to the American code
of mm nls, und the Cubanswhose motto
Is "Independence or Death" would have
the moral sympathy of both the Ameri
can piesldent and the Ameilcan people
In resisting to tho last man the at
tempted commission by any Ameilcan
force of such a monstrous robbery.
T'ljese two causes for foiclble resist
ance by the Insurgents being elimin
ated, not only by tho temper of the
American nation hut ulso by the tx
piess and explicit wording of the house
. ,resgljiton, what cause for insurgent
reslstunpn would remain? Absolutely
none w'hntcver. Resistance under the
existing circumstances would bo so
utterly without cause op provocation
that If attempted, which Ih not rup
pmable qh a tittcstlon of fact, It would
Uei'rvc to bo ovcriKiwpivd. 'Flic Amcrl

"Whether we have war in a few days or a few years this
ftct has been demonstrated that the North and South are
standing shoulder to shoulder for the rights of American citizens,
whether in Cuba or anywhere else on the face of the globe.
This demonstration, 1 say again, is happy in the fact that it
shows that from the lakes to the gulf, and from ocean to ocean,
we aie all tine citizens of a common country, and all committed
and pledged to the maintenance of its glory, integrity and honor.
And, my friends, bhould trouble come, the only livalry between
all sections of our country should be a? to which state would

he does suctied In securing employ

than r, cents per day, and that he Is
usually unable to dispose of his faim
products for cash, being compelled to
ixthange them for other commodities.
In addition to this personal tax theie
is a tax on cocoanut tiees, a tax. on
beasts of hut den, a tax on killing ani

a tav on mills or oil presses, a tax on

In the Philippines, as In Cuba, official
position means simply a license to
steal. It Is said that Weyler In three
ears accumulated $1,000 000 while gov
ernoi general of these Islands on a sal
ary of $100,000 a vear. The natives, as
In Cuba, have been snipped ot the
t hante to make effective resistance.
They aie not permitted to carry fit e
anns. The tllscovety bj a Spanish ofll
clal that a native has secteted a gun
means the native's deportation if not
his summary exec utlon. This Is not
government hut slaveiy, and It Is to be
hoped that ere the United States fin
ishes with Spain in Cuba circumstances
may make possible the libeiatlou of the
Philippines nlso. The Philippines are In
capable of self-government, but they
ought to be put under the piotectlon of
some power which Is fitted to govern.
It will redound to General I.eo's credit
that he does not wish to pose in any
way as a hero. Ills status In the dip
lomatic freivlce would lender thl In
dlscieet. but irrespective of that mod
esty Is moro becoming. The people ap
preciate his services full nnd thcro Is
no need to demonstrate this further,
lie sides more serious business demands
both his and the public's attention.
Mr. Bran will receive a respectful
welcome In Scranton. He Is an excep

and hearing. Whether he will win over
any votes or not Is another question.
Senator Cnffrey should not form the
opinion that he Is a big enough man
to block the -will of the American peo
ple. nfforts at dress reform through the
medium of bicycle styles are not like
ly to prove very fruitful. The faot that

In a bicycle suit when oft the wheel
will discourage ambitious women who
may lean to short skirts and leggings.
"Women generally ar not anxious to
adopt costumes that make them look
hideous even to follow the teachings of
the strong-minded of their sex, and It
Is probable that for some time to come
the ladles who Insist in appearing on
foot In bicycle uniform will be resard-
cd as "odd."

The Philadelphia scheme to start a

of the public generally. Farm recrea
tion Is all right if some one else is em

who have had experience in practical
farming ate apt to regaid the 'vieciea

TilU greetest achievement in the lino
of statecraft In tenlurits would be
a union of both branches ot tho
Anglo-Saxon race, a union of in
terest and policy of these countries
fot tho benefit of all mankind. God hast
en a consummation o dccuitlj to bo
wished. It is becoming moie appnient
everv moment, in view ot all that is
happening In Europe, that the I'nited
States and England aie the onlv elllcient
representative of liberty ana law ogalnst
militarism and despotic government. Thus
It Is imperative that they come together
and form a compact for th continued
preservation of human rights and the
advancement of all Christian, humane
principle.
o
3t is said Lord Sillsbury a few weeks
ngo spoke hopefully of such a. union
and It is significant that tho Idea found
instant favor among thu representative
people of both countries The Hrltlsh
Kmplie and tho American nepublic are
tIoelv related to each other In blood,
language and Ideas Hoth nro highly
gifted in the, qualities needed to carry
out tlin higher ideas or civilisation.
Both understand the leal meaning of
liberty and uquallty. a government of,
for and by tho people, aud both have
tho heavenly ichor In tho blood needed
to sttmulata them to further advance

The time Is now at hand when the
Kngllsh ard thA Americans should feel
that each lias in the othot a friend and
brother In time of need. It Is not neces
sarj that each should fight thu battles
of tho other on all occasions, for this
would hardly bo practical. But let It
be understood that In tha event of an
attack on either country that would
mean an attack on "the liberty of tho
people," that would moan an attempt
to degiaclo fieemen and to put them
back wheio they once weie ns mero
creatures of despots, then let both act
together.

Tor Instance, on attempt to Isolate
and humiliate Kngland by the other
continental powers should enlist our
bervlccs Ip its behalf. For. If success
ful, It would mean a blow at the will of
the freemen and a dlbtlnct gain for mili
tarism nnd despotism. If Russia and
Germany and Trance together attacked
Kngland It would destroy tho rights of
the Individual and placvn tho "soldier"
far above tha Judge, the learned p
t
fesslons nnd citizens. Llkewlso an at
tack of the continental powers on the
United States would, If successful, stop
every citizen ot his rights to think,
speak nnd write what ho likes. A mon
archy would take tho place of the re
publlo and royalty would array Itself
In fine purple at the expense of the
people. It would not be a limited liion
nrehv like Kngland, It must bo remem
bered, but an absolute inonnrehy like
Itussla. Owl forbid that America should
ever bo degraded lo such a level, and
the best way to preseno our liberty
and our speech Is to agree to an elll
anco with Ungland.

"The coming of the Sln" Is a phrase
that strikes teiror of tho heart. If he
should overrun Ihigland It would not be
so long before ho would cross tho At
lantlo also nnd attempt to ltusslanlze
"tho land ot tho free."
