COLONEL STONE'S PLATFORM It will be my ptirnr.go when elected to so conduct mrclf as to win tho lespect and pcod will of those who have opposed mo as well as those who have given mo their support. I fhull be the governor of the whole people nt the state. Abuses have undoubtedly citwn up in the legis lature which are neither tho fault of ono party nor tho other, but rather tha growth of ciirtcm. I'rrecessnry Investi gations have boon authorized by commit tees, resulting In unnecessary expense to the state. It will bo my care and pur pore to correct thtso and other evils In so far as I havo the power. It will bo my purpose while governor of Pennsylvania, as It has been ml purpose In tho public positions that I have held, with God's help, to dUchargo my whole duty. The people aro greater than .the parties to which they belong. I am only Jealous of their favor. I bhall only attempt to win their approval and my experience has taught me that that can best be done by nn honest, modest, dally discharge of public duty. Wo guess It will now be generally conceded that tho Maine has been re membered. American Honor Vindicated, This Is Indeed an American year, night after the thrilling victory at Santiago comes another victory, not of armor and ."hips and guns, but of plain American common sense, tri umphing over Ignorance, prejudice and corporate greed, and this victory, con summated on a date to be forever memorable, will stand out In the clear light of history as the greatest though bloodless victory of all. The annexation of Hawaii plants American Influence Impregnably In the heart of the Pacific ocean: elves us command of this groat water In peace nnd In war; adds to our domain 6,677 square miles of as charming territory as the sun shines on; and serves notice on the world that the American re public proposes hereafter to fulfill the measure of Its magnificent opportun ities. In consummating this great triumph of statesmanship the administration of William McKlnley has done for pos terity a service of Incalculable value; and the enlightened patriotism of a two-thirds majority in both branches of congress has wiped from our na tional records the stain put there by Grover Cleveland and Paramount Com missioner Blount when they tried to enforce their "policy of infamy." Why are we so chary of bestowing naval honors on our naval heroes? 'Sampson and Schley and Watson nre all old enougli and know enough and have done enough to be placed In tho front rank of their profession. Besides, American titles arc not hereditary. On a Profitless Tack. Today at Delaware Water Gap the committee on law reform of the Penn sylvania Bit association will make public the changes in existing statutes and Judicial processes which it will recommend to tho favorable considera tion of the Pennsylvania legislature v. Ith a view to Increasing the respect ability and tho efllcloncy of our courts and augmenting the dignity of the 'egal profession. Y p are not advised ns to what these lecomircndatlons will be, but If the committee has faced Its prob lem resolutely It will have found ample room for susestlon of Improvements, though from the nature of the case these must look to public sentiment, rather than to merely nominal changes in the phraseology of the law, Smo faults and defects there are In tho mechanism of our ordinary courts tc be sure, and thess may well be point ed out by the Pennsylvania Bnr asso- elation for remedy by the Jaw-making power. Rut the great fault which lies at the root of most of the Injustice done in our courts and gives life to nioH of the popular criticism of tho courtslsthcindlffercnce with which the great body of well-to-do citizens view the operations of the courts In direc tions In which they are not primarily and personally concerned, and by this indifference inako It an easy task for the Jury fixer, the professional petti fngirer, and the scoundrel in general to gain over the courts an undue ascen dancy. It Is with the Jury system as it ia with political prlmarles-the stream cannot rite higher than Its source. When educated and respon sible men shirk their duty in either rase or, pleading the prets of personal business, let these important civic du ties go by default, they must expect what they, get In the way or rank mis government. Tinkering the system will not overcome the neglect. No system can work satisfactorily when the men who work It are below the moral aver iige of the community. It the laws already en the statute hooka were enforced with reasonable vigilance tho work of tlio courtH would bo bo greatly Improved as to exclto general astonishment. There are lawn anipls for the punishing of embracery, subornation of petjitry. fnlsc persona tion, Jury fixing, perjury and neglect of sworn duty. These laws, If enforced, would quickly cleanse the Jury room of prcfcFt'onnl or speculative Jurors and the bur of the harpies who under the license of officers of the court ato In fact plotters of tnkchlcf and fomen tors of litigation. These laws nre am ple to reach not only the Bpoak easy which ctoga the dockets of the criminal court and the constnblo who tnkot tho spenkeasy's mbsldy as the price of his quarterly rendered false testimony, but also those persons of more outward respectability, higher up, who are be lieved In some communities to manipu late politics so as to safeguard tho In terests of tho brewers and make the court a careful respecter of persons. Hut If the better citizens In. the com munity don't call for Improved en forcement of tho law, If they don't even take the pain- to see for themselves box, the law Is being enforced, but on the other hand sedulously try to avoid even tho small item of Jury ser vice once a year, resorting to all kinds of excuses and sometimes to downright lying In order to gain exemption, wo nrc unable to see what substantial bet terment can come through more addi tions to the dead-letter verbiage of the statute book, ttecauso the people tol erate tho courts as they aro It Is fair to Infer that they aro satisfied with them as they aie, else they would wake up and also do their part toward legal and Judicial reform. When La Eourgogntf was struck she was, It Is reported, steaming nt a 17 knot gait through a dense fog. If that be true It tells tho whole story. The navigator who goes nt such a speed under such conditions should be put in Irons the minute ho attempts It. Weighed and Found Wanting;. If the Spanish government had de liberated m solemn conclave over the most expeditious and certain method of ruining tho existing dynasty, It could not have more effectively let loose the pent-up forces of anarchy and revolution on the unhappy mon arch to whom It owes nnd no doubt gives Its allegiance. When Admiral Cervera's fleet was destroyed, Scnor Sagasta would have been doing his whole duty In informing the country of the fact forthwith. He knew It, be cause the telegrams from London In which our great victory was made known were suppressed and a false dispatch, purporting to come from San tiago, In which Cervera was alleged to have escaped, with minute circumstan tial details, was made an official bul letin. It gave this ridiculous ministry n respite of a few hours, probably to make some futile arrangement or de vise still more puerile plans of action, which never can be and never will be put Into operation, but it added im mensely to the debt which this min istry will eventually have to settle with the Spanish people. In the meantime we are told In a dis patch from Madrid that the cabinet council, after a short session, decided not to open negotiations for peace but to continue the war at all risks, while a single soldier remains in Cuba, Span ish honor is a peculiar product In the evolution of the human race. It seems more like the blind instinct of a polar bear protecting; its dead cub, than a process of the understanding. What has 'Spanish honor, ns the Paris Temps asks, to gain by prolonging tho struggle In which she has been so hope lessly worsted? Is It to see the agon izing dissolution of the nation that Sagusta and his ministry make these announcements? Spain has now lost the last remnant of her once world wide colonies In a desperate attempt to maintain a feeble and bloody grasp on one of them. The Temps has been the best friend Spain has had In this war. Its counsels to her have been prompted by the slncerest desire to re strain her in her insane and headlong folly. We had hoped on the strength of the extract given In The Tribune from the influential Dlarlo of Barce lona that Spain was at last beginning to recognize the hopelessness and the helplessness of the unequal contest, but It seems not. It Is worthy of nolo that Don Car los has stood by his promise not to hamper the government while it con tinues to prosecute the war. It seems, however, that he has let slip his chance. The discontent Is gaining ground among the people; they are arming, and tho loyalty of the army Is dubi ous. That a revolution Is imminent in the peninsula there seems no room for doubt; but the country Is too distracted to coalesce In placing on the throne a disreputable pretender whoso adher ents nre neither numerous nor power ful. A republic has been tried before and was altogether unsuccessful. A dictatorship under Weyler or a mili tary oligarchy under Campos seems to fit in more harmoniously with the temper of the people than any form of government that can bo devised on the ruins of the monarchy. The sooner this comes and opens the door of Spain to peace the better will it bo for all concerned. The base ball umpire who would not exchange places with a mount In Teddy Roosevelt's rough riders should have an Immediate Increase ot salary. In Its opposition to the policy of American expansion the Philadelphia Ledger has become almost senile. "Tho more we seek to enlarge our sphere of influence, political and com mercial," it plaintively remarks, "tho more danger there Is of coming In con flict with Jealous rivals.." Conversely, the less we enlarge tho less this dan ger, and by ceasing to exist the danger can bo obviated wholly, if the Ledger Is so afraid of the ability of the Ameri can peoplo to take care of themselves, why doesn't it pack up and go to Rus sla to live? District Attorney Heck, of Philadel phia, has drafted a bill for considera tion by congress dealing with the naturalization problem. It embodies the essence of the rules of practice now governing the courts of Lackawanna county; that Is, public examination of applicants after opportunity has been given for production of evidence of un fitness, the examination to be such in kind and thoroughness as to debar the grossly unfit; and its object Is to make naturalization practice uniform throughout the country. It Is almost superfluous to add that the enactment of this bill Is urgently necessary. It Is unlikely that the criticism of Admiral Sampson for not mentioning Schley's name has Just foundation. Sampson was reporting hurriedly a momentous fact, whoso Importance rose far above personalities. At the same time it Is only fair to Schley to give him the credit for what he did. There are room nnd glory enough In tho American navy for nil the brave men in It. Prisoners of War. The destruction of the Spanish fleet ot Santiago and the immediate fall of the city Itself will place in our hands a largo number of prisoners of war which we will have Borne difficulty in disposing ot satisfactorily. To hand them over to tho military authorities In Cubn would necessarily hamper their operations, nnd they nrc equally Im possible with the fleet. To send Ad miral Cervera, his commanders and tho superior officers of the Spanish navy to Washington and release them there on parolo presents no difficulty, but what to do with the ordlnnry prison ers is a much more difficult question. It is not altogether a question ot ex pense, although that will be consider able, and will continue In a progressive ratio as long as we continue to take prisoners of war, Spain hns, it Is be lieved, somo forty thousand soldiers In Cuba. After the conquest of tho Isl and It Is reasonable to suppose that wo will have some twenty thousand of their men In our custody. AVo cannot permit them to remain In the country where their presence would Infuriate tho natives and Interfere with our measures of pacification. Neither ran we permit them a stay in this country for any considerable length ot time af ter the war lias closed. To propose an exchange of prisoners would be rid iculous, because theto aro no American prisoners In Spanish hands except Hob son and his few companions, who may bo released at any moment. As It Is wo have nearly two thousand Spanish prisoners ot war at Key West, nnd with Admiral Sampson and Gen eral Shafter. The Spaniards them selves are In no hurry to leave us, now that they have ascertained our humane Intentions. They have learned to ap preciate our courtesy, our food, and our considerate sympathy for a fallen en emy. In our own civil war and In wars generally tho disposal of prisoners of war comes within the limits of pol icy and reciprocal exchnnge because the frontier limits as a rule overlap and make exchange both desirable anil easy. But in the case of the Spaniards there lies the whole width of the At lantic between there unhappy con scripts and their homes. Spain has no ships to bring them back to their na tive land, nor money with which to procure such transports and the sit uation of the difficulty will not permit of protraction or procrastination. It is possible. Indeed, that we will have to undertake the task ourselves. Should this come to pass, ono of the strang est spectacles In the history of the world will come about, the conquerors transposing to their homes the con quered foe at their own expense. The Spaniards must be gotten ftff our bonds In some way. Each day will add to their numbers and the anxiety of the administration in solving this seeming ly inexplicable problem. The fall of the Spanish monarchy may come about at 'any moment. If this does not take place before tho arrival of Watson's squadron in the Mediterranean, It may come to pass that Uuecn Christina and Alfonso XIII may be forced to seek pro tection aboard our fleet. Such an event Is not without precedent. Fallen nion archs have before now sought protec tion from tho vengeance of their In furiated subjects at the hands of the enemy. This, Indeed, was practically what Napoleon III. did after the battle of Sedan. That ho quitted the soil of France ullve was owing to the protec tion offered him by the old Emperor William. This, however, although a possibility, Is a remote contingency. What we are brought face to face with Is the necessity of making Immediate provision In some manner for the hum ane entertainment uf the survivors ot the Spanish nrmy and navy. It Is a gtcat consolation, however, to know that we are able to do so. There is one man who must be a hoodoo who was injured at Santiago the other day. He is Private Henry A. Holzkamp, of a New York regiment. He was reared In an orphan asylum, broke his leg twice when a little child, later on fell and broke four ribs and his breast bone. After Joining the regi ment he was twice disabled by nn In Jury to his anklo nnd on the day Grant's tomb was dedicated tumbled down a steep embankment and was terribly hurt. Now ho Is one ot thoso most seriously Injured nnd it is safe to say that should he recover there will not be a great scramble to march at his side In the ranks. Bravo and true, his patriotism has been fostered under difficulties. Writing In 18S0 of the relations be tween England and America, Mr. Glad stone said: "The union between tho countries is close, and ts likely to grow closer still. Honor to all thoso who seek to corroborate tho bond!" Tho bond is certainly being "corroborated" with exceptional rapidity Just now. General Miles' anxiety to go to the front is to Ids credit. There is work and glory sulllclent for both him and General Shafter at Santligo nnd tho personal equation should not leud to friction. Tho pope is level-headed enough not to be disturbed by thn peilodlcal rumors of his falling health and un balanced mind. He is used to it. Cervera says he wns ordered by Mad rid to make that suicidal sally. Cer vera ought to secure employers wortli denting for. America's Mission for Civilization From tho New York Sun. THE Hon, Gcorgo F. Edmunds, for merly and so long a senator of the United States from Vermont, delivered an essay at Philadel phia, on tho Fourth, In which he expressed strong misgivings regarding tho extension of our national domain which will bo the Inevitable consequence of this war. It Is needless to go over his arguments carefully, for they aro sub stantially tho same ns those whose dreary repetition during the Hawaiian debnto and since the triumph of Dewey at Manila has wearied the public so sadly. They arc, In brief, the old talk about the natural unfitness of tropical peoples for republican government, tho terrible dan ger to our home Institutions which would bo Involved In the possession of "dis tinct" territory, and the HI opinion of us which the world would havo if a war begun by us for tho declared purpose of freeing tho Cubans should be utilized to eccuro territorial "aggrandizement." o In the first place, It ts a weak nation, ns It Is a wenk Individual, that Is veered from the pursuit of nny courso which Is desirable and requlslto because of fear of tho opinion of somebody else. That argument, accordingly, can be dismissed nt onco ns unworthy of discussion by a strong and self-reliant people. Actually, moreover, we shall stand tho better In foreign opinion the more wc govern our conduct by common sense, nnd tho less wo allow It to be Influenced by merely sentimental considerations such as those upon which Mr. Edmunds dwelt. Tho purpose for which a war Is waged and the consequences actunlly proceeding fiom It aro usually nt variance. o The cllmato of tho Islands we shall ncqulre from Spain Is not so far different from that of our own gulf coast as to cause nny radical distinction In the char acter of thoso regions unfitting them in trinsically for our form of government. Tho application of thnt Is not limited by tho thermometer. Under modern san itation, ns tho best scientific opinion holds, and as experience Is proving In actual results, the old danger to health In tho tropics has been eliminated. As to theso Islands being Inhabited by alien races, all races are represented In our citizenship nlrcady. America Is cosmo politan in Its population, and Its func tion, performed ho successfully hitherto, has been to assimilate all through the Influence of our political Institutions and political methods, o Concerning tho alleged danger of the acquirement of "distinct" territory, has not that argument been disposed of very effectually by our experience during this century? How about the Louisiana pur chase. Florida, Texas, tho conquests of tho Mexican war, and the purchase of Alaska? They wero nil "distinct" terri tory, in the sense that they were in habited largely or solely by distinct races, wero under different Institutions, and wero far more remote In tlmo from our seat of national government than are now the remotest possessions of Spain which will come to us as recom pense for our sacrifices In this war. Mod ern science hns neutralized time and dis tance, so that they aro no longer ele ments in the political problem, Hawaii win ic Drought into instant communica tion by cable with Washington, which will bo as near nructlcnllv ns Vw Orleans or Galveston. Nor will Manila be more remote as such communication with It is established. The West Indian Islands, of course, are at our very bor ders, even geographically; they belong naturally to. this continent. o Nor Is there nnythlng In the Inference, of Mr. Edmunds that our territorial "aggrandizement" as a consequence of this war will Involvo a. gross violation of our principles of self-government. Our territory has been quadrupled In area slnco we won our Independence, bv con- quest or purchase, and our further ex pansion will not bo more contrary to our principles than was that aggrandizement of earlier days. AVo havo carried free dem, self-government, education, ad vancement In civilization, prosperity and happiness wherever wo have gono in the past, and they will go with us In this iurtncr expnnslon. nnd as a nwssiiri' concomitant of It. We do not take away liberty as wo carry onward tho flag; we confer liberty and all tho highest blpss- IngS Of Civilization. Wo rin lint cnl.l,.. gate: we enfranchise. We shall carry to J the West Indies, tho Phlllmiini ,i i,l Ladroncs and tho Carolines it ma,. i, the blessings of free and equal and stable government. Pcst-rldden regions will bo made healthful: natural resources will be utilized fully for tho first time; cruelty will glvo place to Christian humanity, nnd civilization will succeed barbarism All tho Inhabitants of those islands, tho whcilo world of civilization, will profit by this national "aggrandizement" of America. HOW TO SECURE IT. From tho Pittsburg Dispatch. The business men of tho anthracite coal regions are making nn earnest effnrt to relievo their district from tho prostra tion that Is Inflicted by tho excessive rates on nnthnclto coal maintained by tho railroad combination of that section. One of the projects set on foot Is tho building of a railroad from the Lacka wanna district to New York to carry coal at reasonable rates. An objection has been raised to this, that tho new road when built will eventually be absorbed Into tho combination, which somo of its supporters aro Inclined to resent tis un Imputation on the sincerity of those get ting up tho project. 0 The objection Is not n fanciful one, as tho history of similar projects shows, nor docs It Impute Insincerity to the present promoters of tho enterprise. These men must dlo and tho settlement of their ts states will put their stock on the market, or they may need to sell their stock In the future for business reasons. Hut tho financial power which Is interested In tho combination Is everlasting nnd always ready to adopt tho means of buying or bankrupting tho competing interest. o Yet thcro Is ono means of preventing the absorption ot a competing line which has never been tried. Let one condition bo Incorporated In the charter and re peated In every grant of right of way or franchise. That Is. that any shipper or transporting company shall have the right to run Its own trains and engines over tho road on rayment of tolls per ton per mile, which, calculated on tho total business, will pay 5 per cent, on tho bona fide, unwatercd cost of tho road, to gethcr with malntcnanco of wny and sen eral expenses. Let that right bo male fundamental In tho oigimlzatlon of tho rood and any effort to absorb it for the purposes or combination will bo futile. In that case any coal mining firm 01 union of firms could, If rates wero exces slve, carry their coal to market them selves, o This right vas regarded as n necessary one when railroads were first organized. It has been abandoned or suppressed, and for that reeron tho majority of railioad abuses nnd discriminations havo become possible, EQUAL TO EVi:itV DUTY. From the Philadelphia Times.

I'nOITll RECOGNITION. From tno Philadelphia Ledger. Tho resolution which Representative Berry, of Kentucky, offered In tho house of representatives tendering tho thanks of congress nnd tho American people to Commodore Schley, for his heroic and distinguished conduct, Is eminently proper. Schley has borne himself as a true man and a bravo sailor. When Sampson, a captain, was singled out for favor nnd made superior to Schley, a commodore, the latter made no com plaint, but, modest and obedient as ho was intelligent and courageous, ho re ceived his Instructions and fulfilled them to tho letter. It was ho who "bottled up" Cervera In Santiago, and very fit tingly It was he who demolished Cer vera's fleet. When Cervera bad been driven to cover by Schley's flying squad ron Sampson sailed to Santiago and as sumed command, but tho fortunes of war. which deal with promotions as well ns with hostilities, operated to afford Schley tho opportunity to display his valor and establish his fame. Doubtless tho victory would havo been as thorough had Sampson personally directed the movements of tho blockad ing squadron, or, for that matter, had Captains Taylor, Evans, Hlgglnson, Chadwick, Cook, Clark or Philip, who fought as commanders of slnglo ships, been in command of tho squadron. Every engagement In the present war has de veloped heroism from tho bridge to the forecastle, that proves tho extraordinary grit and capability of the personnel of our navy. Hut the laurels for tho victory oft Santiago havo been fairly won by Com modore Schley and It Is no derogation to Admiral Sampson to say that tho namo of Schley, rather than that of Sampson, deserves to bo Imperlshably connected with tho only battlo worthy of the name fought oft Cuba during tho present war the only battlo that will be fought in theso waters. A CANADIAN TIUUUTE. Trom the Toronto Globe. Discuss the scientific aspcct3 ot the raso a we may, tho oxccilnsly good fighting of tho Americans forces atten tion. It Is needless to claim for them parity of enduranco under suffering with the Ilrltlsh regiments at Albuera. who won a voctory with three-fourths of their number on tho ground; with tho Russian battalions, who pressed up the hillside of Plevna to literal annihilation, or with Pickett's men In their charge up tho nwful slopo at Gettysburg.
