There Is not a harder walked man In tho army than General Merrltt. He has practically completed the em barkation of the third expedition to Manila. The anxiety entailed by the equipment of these expeditionary forces was enormous. General Mer rltt was the man to do It. The Future of Anthracite. In two articles going exhaustively Into the subject of the outlook for the anthracite coal trade Mr. J. C. Powell, editor of the Wilkes-Liarre Itecord, a recognized authority in these prem ises, draws up before the unwelcome conclusion that that outlook at best is gloomy. That extortionate freight tolls have operated greatly to aiithin cite's disadvantage he ndmlts. as. In deed, every man must who looks the facts In the face; and that some of this lost advantage may be won back again by the forcing from the railroads of lower rates he is disposed to con rede; yet on this fcore he is far from optlmlsile. "Goal." he says. "Is now selling nt J4 a ton at tide. The tolls from tho breaker to tide are about $1.CU. Sup posing they were half this sum, SO cents; that would make the price at tide $:!.-'. The additional cost of handling the fuel, in the way of com mission t" retail agents, cartage, tic, would add to cents more to the cost, which would run It up to JXfiO. As bit uminous coal Is j-old all over the east for less than $:'. tho difference In the price of the two fuels would still be so great that It would be Idle to expect to wrest from soft coal any consider able number of lis customers. Of course, a reduction of a dollar a ton In anthracite might bring it many new orders. Hut such a cut would have to be borne by others besides the rail roads. And which of the various ele ments that go to make up the trade would chip In their pro rata percen tage of the reduction? There is no UFe expecting the miners to maku any moie sacrifices, for that is simply Im possible. No further economies i nu be Introduced nbout the mines. Inside- and outside of every colliery all expenses have been hewed, hncked and skinned down until nothing Is left but bed lock conditions. Whatever re ductions there may be made theruforo must come from tho pockets of the people at the other end of the line. Commissions, salaries and tolls will have to bear the brunt of the entire cut." And while he doesn't say so, Mr. Powell evidently does not expect that they will do it. In the opinion of this writer next Tuesday's convention In Scranton to consider the future of the anthracite trade 'should advocate the necessity of getting new Industries as well as booming anthracite. Whut all the coal region tqwns In this state need Is more factories'. Cheap fuel can be had close to the mints. Small sizes of anthra cite, surh as manufacturing- plants require, can be had for almost nothing. And It Is cheap fuel that nil manufac turing plants wunt, mure than any thlntc elfe. Fuel Is a great Item of ex pense tut all of them. We have cheap fuel, and hence we should have moie factories. We should manufacture a hundred and one things that the whole country needs." The wisdom of this advice l not to be gainsaid. Yet nil the Industries In existent would not wholly reimburse these communities for the loss which will confront them If anthracite Is crowded to the wall. The problem at this time more espe cially Is how to save the hard coal trude. Can anybody suggest a more praolleal solution than the building by ii Individual opcratot s or nn Indepen dent outlet to tidewater? If 8", now In the tlmo to speuk out. i ' m ' The sanitary condltlona at tho Homo for the friendless tire to be Improved.

Our Administrative -Machinery. The sccretuiy of the navy In speak ing of the. general satisfaction which has been expressed throughout 'the country with the way In which the navy department has been adminis trated, very Justly reminded tho pub lic of thr tibligations It owes to Its per manent olllrlals In all the government elepaitments. whose work Is carried on silently, without Hhow or painde, often under obloquy and Invariably without thanks or recognition. It Is only by the ratest chance that the Individual in departmental work Is recognized for hlr executive ability beyond tho sphere of his Immediate superiors. Promotion comes slowly to the civil servant, and Die prospects In this di rection nre limited It is Increasingly dilllcult to find men of rare adminis trative ability who are willing to de vote tilt Ii- tnlmts and intelligence to governmental work. In a country where piofcsslonnl and commercial llf'.' opens up such wid" and nlluiinR ave niter to fortune It N almost Impossible where patriotism Is not superadded to the other acquirements of a competent administrator. The work Is often re pulsive, disheartening, and dilllcult of successful uccompllfhmcnt. When It is well done, It is no more than had been expected; when mistakes, miscalcula tions, mlsconccptons of orders or re quirements follow, us they will and do e"cur in the best regulated depart ments, the cry urlss iiat ofllclaidom Is entangled in the meshes of the red tape which It has woven, and the na tb n at large In its spoken words nnd through Its delegated representatives demands the expulsion of the culprits from the public service or at least their degradation. lied tape In the popular mind Is synonymous with Incapacity and Ignoran .'. with nlllclal prejudice, dilettantism and n stupid conservatism opposed to obvious and necessary inno vations Hut red tape is pomethlnr very different In reality. Ilcd tape Is the mainspilug in Hie clockwork of oPicial life. Where it is wanting theiv is chaos and confusion whcio there should be regularity. It It the sym metrical evolution of department work, where nothinir is left to chance: iij matter of Importance left unverified and no risks taken. It may be a slow process, but it is a sure one. The ob jection is made and with a show of reason, that In a national emergency minute scrutiny and cheese paring should give way to a generous liberal ity. Hut the financial details of gov-ernmer-t must be can led out on busi ness piinclplss. Tho secretary of the navy laconically adds that he sometimes notices that he sets h word of praise, as if this were something beyond his merits or expectations. Mr. Long deserves all the nralse that he has got, or Is ever likely to get. He has proved himself to be ttie most capable administrator since the retirement from olllco of the late Secretary Whitney Iu going itei war the cKuntry is naturally uncertain of the ability nnd capacity eif Its ad mirals and military commanders. Many of these have never been put to the test in actual combat. All is prob lematical until the event brings forth the man. Happily for us it has always done so In our government and In our military leaders from the days of the Revolution down to the present mo ment. And to Secretary Long's Rood Judgment of the men under him we aie Indebted for no sinnll part of the navy's good work before and since the war be gan. Secretary Long has a good word to say for his late assistant, Mr. Theo dore Roosevelt. Mr. lloosevelt's work nt the navy department during the brief period he remained in office was thorough, conscientious and Infectious. He Imbued Ills subordinates with the same high Ideals, the unwearying as siduity which he luought to the work himself. His, activity and comprehen sive grasp of details made htm In valuable to his chief and to the coun try. It would have been better per haps from an administrative point of view had Mr. Itoosevelt remained at his post. Hut no one had a light to ex pect the subordination of his patriotic and deliberate determination to serve his country Iu the field rather than at his desk Iu a depaitmenlal bureau. A few more of such Inspiriting examples would have done no harm. The real administrative work of the war has been practically transferred from the broad shoulders of Secretary Long to those of Secretary Alger and his department. There has been some criticism of the apparent tardiness of the equipment and transportation ot the army congregated at Tampa. Per haps It was not altogether unde served. Immobility at camp does not necessarily mean ntagnatlon or ndmln Istrutlve paralysis. Things ure not nl ways what they seem, as the world has learned from long and painful ex perience. Our army has reached Cubit not a day too soon us It would seem, nor yet a moment too lnte as the course of events will, we hope, establish. The absence of a serious blunder during the course of the war has been ono of Its distinguishing characteristics. It Is hard perhaps that the men who have most contributed to the success of the war by faithful labor in Its prepara tion will share least In Its ephemeral glories. Hut there Is always a recom pense In the consciousness of work well done, In duty performed; nn In tellectual pride In Its accomplishment which compensates In some measure the expel t and man of experience at his desk In no less measure than na tional applause which only In rare ruses falls to the share of the Indi vidual soldier or sailor. Here Is a fact which under careful study looms up ns big us a burn door; While the balance of trade in favor of the United States for the cur ront fiscal year Is the largest In our history, promising to reach $700,000,000, or more than double what It has been heretofore. British exports nre steadily decreasing. You can draw your own conclusions. General Shatter has not IIkuumI o larRely In tho newspapers as some of the principals In this war, but In the matter of expeditious work ho ap pears to be all thcic. A Poser for Bryan. The Gafveston News, tho leading Democratic paper of the southwest, docs not share Colonel Hrynn's objec tions to n policy of colonization. "In the present contest with Spain," It says, "the elivumstances of the case utterly exclude tho possibility of suc cessfully serving the cause of human ity except through the agency nnd on the basis ot conquest. There Is no conceivable method known to tho busi ness of war save one by which surh territories us Cuba, Porto Hlco, and the Philippines enn be rescued from the desolating cruelties of Spanish do minion nnd dedicated to the beneficent uses of humanity. That method Is tho complete nnd permanent supplantutlon of Spain In these territories. And this condition Is practically unattainable without forcibly taking possession of the islands and holding them, us long as circumstances demonstrate the Jus tice and wlstloin of holding them, for the substantial piomotlon of a broad humanity nnd n benignant and pro-, gresslve civilization. "Deliberately to eliminate the cle ment of conquest from this war would be to invest It with most revolting at tributes of a farce, a blunder, nnd a crime. It would make the war it gro tesque, wasteful, and sanguinary quix otic adventure -without a spark of Quixote's lofty chivalry of character and Inflexible honesty of purpose. Such a course would bo perfidy to Inhabi tants of Cuba, Porto lllco, nnd the Philippines who ,had hoped for Ameri can redemption of those colonies from misrule, oppression, and barbarism; perfidy to Industrial and commercial Interests of tho civilized world, which had come to count cheerfully on the prospect of such redemption; perfidy to the tolling nnd taxpaying masses of this republic, who would have to suffer all the sacrifices and burdens of the woj' nnd be absolutely denied the possibility of experiencing any com pensatory fruits of it, immediate or re mote." Colonel Bryan is respectfully Invited to reply. In case of nn attempt on part of Germany Lo lease tho Philippines the delivery of tho goods would probably be the most perplexing pait of the bar gain. The Russian ambassador to this country says the czar has no objec tions to our occupying tho Philippines. This is fortunate for tho czar. Secretary Long believes in slving credit where credit is due. Secretary Long knows how to get good work out ot his subordinates. If It is going to require 30,000 men to (educe San Juan how many millions will be necessary to capture Havana? Soon a two-cent American stamp will carry a letter from San Juan to Manila, a distance of 11,000 miles. Judge Gordon evidently has a sus picion that he has been made tho vic tim of a political gold brick trick. The Democratic boy managers In congress seem detei mined to make a Republican victory easy next fall. The rceoiuvntradoos may have all de parted, but the Cuban Insurgents ap pear to be vcty much alive. Bftnco's cable gives evidence of be ing encumbeied with sea-weed.

THKIIE IS coming to ngreenicnt that receti compelled or will s pel a reversal of tl to be a genet nl nt events have. speedily com the traditional policy of tho United Suites. That policy has been ono of isolation; it is henceforth to be ono of fi.iternlzation. During America's enily history Its unlquo principles of government, Its lo cation remote from the Old World. Its comparative weakness and Inexperience and its complicated domestic problem alt combined in compelling It to avoid world counsels and world responsibilities, But timo has changed these condition-". Our principles of government arc no longer unique, they ate already winning their way Into aceipUuce or furnishing Mm basis for popular agitation In Hna: land, France, Germany, Italy. Scan II navla. Our location Is no longer remote from Hie Old World; our eastern coast Is as near the western const of Europe as It Is to our own western coast; New Yolk Is as trutv neighbor to Liverpool ns to San Francisco. The uallon Is no longer feeble. The land of thltteefl Jeal ous states has grown to he nn cmplro of fortv-llve statc. united by a national pa. trlotlsm quite equal to that which makes one nation ot tho separate counties i.f Eglnnd or tho separate pilnclpahtles of Uermnny. Wo still tack experience In International ellpleiimey, but Hint is sonic ''.him,' which only Ir trrimttonal life can ,rive. our domestic pioblems are as seri ous and complicated ns ever; but, with the exception of those presented by :.n African population in the south and an as yet Imperfectly asslmlllatcd foreign popu latlon In the north, they do not material ly differ from tlife of oilier nations. Finally, this war, with the responsibility whhii it lias laid upon the i.ation for fair government in Cuba and the Philippines, lias awakened us nil lo the fact that the Isolation of the pust Is forever at nu en I. Thenceforth the national motto must be not Americans for America, but Ameri cans for the world, o Some men recognize more quickly than others radical changes iu world condi tions; some moro icadlly abandon tradi tional policies when changed conditions render them obsolete. It Is not at all strange, thai somo men nnd some news papers nre eniIer.orlng rather to see h"w they can hold fast to the policy of the fathers than how they can create new policies for new exigencies; not nt all strange that some men should make 11 their endeavor rather to ir-cnpe tho new obligations of a new tlnte, or reduce them to n minimum, than how to assume them with couuge and fulfil them with success. t Is rather strange that so many see with at least some clearness of vision that the new epoch involves new obligations, and are eager rather than re luctant to asumo them. The spirit with which Dewey sailed Into Hie harbor of Manila and Hobsnu Into the Jaws of dcafli nt Santlrgo Is typltul of the spirit of tho Amerle-nn people, who arc ad venturous, audacious, self-confident, but thoroughly earnest, sincere nnd heroic the great body of the American people aro turning their faces toward the future. o Tho new national pulley, placing this nation In the congress of the world s na tions, to share with them In responsibil ity for the world's development, lequlres a somewhat Increased navy nnd a some what Increased army. It requires still more a better army; not In olHc rs fir tho ofllcers of our tegular army are men of whom tho I'lilted States is rightly proud but in the rank and file. The pri vates In the regular ntniy should be paid such wages, given such chances of pro motion and accorded such social consid eration as will make ihrlr positions and opportunities enviable. The tegular armv should be one ot educated cadets, out of whom ofllcers enn easily ,o drawn In time of necessity, wherever the regular army needs to bo Increased by nlunteirs. The new national policy requires a new and perfected diplomatic service. We should be represented abroad not by raw re crult'e, but by trained men. No man should be sent to represent our Interests among a people whose language he can neither speak nor understand. Consuls should be educated lor the service as cadets are for tho army. The nation should maintain a continuity In Its fo" elgn policy. The revolutions which arc ldmlsslble and not without advantage lu domestic policy are Inadmissible and wholly injurious lu foreign affairs, our ambassadors and consuls should be ap pointed not to represent Republicans or Democracy. Prohlbltlonlsm or Populism, but simply Anieilcat.l.sm. No man, what iver his party polities and whatever ills fame, family or culture, should ever rep resent America abroad unless lie Is an en thusiastic believer lu the fundamental principles of the American comnun wenlth Justice, coual rights, universal education, religious nnd civil liberty. Our foieign ambassadors go to European euurts, but they go to represent tho Am erican people The new national polley requires, probably, the t deptlon of oomc method of colonial administration or something akin thuoto. If this necessi tates i change iu the constitution, our past history has proved that this fact need constitute no si nous hindrance. Our constitution is a glrcilo to strengthen us, not a manacle lo thwart our endeavors. No one on tills side of the Atlantic and lew upon th other doubt that Spanish domination Is at an end iu Cuba, Purto Hlco and tho Philippines. When Hie Spanish flag cornea down American re sponsibility begins. When it lias evicted Spain from Cuba and Porto Rico and from the Philippines It will have ninde lt'-elf responsible to see that the old des potism Is not followed by a new one. or hyanarchy which Is still worse; that th 'so people, delivered from nn Intolerable yoke of bondage, are not It ft unprovided with a government both able and determined to see ura to their peoples) justice, equal rights, free education and religious and civil liberty.
