Come to Scranton.
At the ncM convention of the Natlon
nl association of Letter carriers, which
will be held in Toledo, O, the first
week In September, the delegation rep
resenting this city will work to secuic
for Scranton the honor of ent3rla'nin,T
the convention of 1899. The convention
comprises about S00 delegates from
every section of the country and is one
of the best gatheilngs of jepiesenta
tlves of organized skilled labor In the
country. Hcinnton would be proud to
have this convention as If n'l'rst. nnd
If the convention will come hither
Scrantonlans will gunrinnj that Die
visit will never be roiri'jrceij.

Intelligent Cubans will rscognlzp that

The Teims of Capitulation.
The terms of capitulation on which
Santlano was sun endured present no
detailed feature of novelty or Interest
beyond the fact that we have under
taken to transport tho enemy to their
own allot es an act as magnanimous as
It Is urpietedented In the annals of
war. The sui render of all the war
materials In the city, the retention by
tho spanlah ofllccs of their side arms
and by the enlisted men of such rem-
nnntsof private pioperty ns they poe
tess, are ordinary Incldentb of tho cap
itulation of a besieged city.
We have agreed that guerrillas and
Spanish Irregulais shall bo permitted
to remain In Cuba if they so elect, giv
ing "a parole that thev will not ngaln
take up arms against the United States
unless released fiom parole " We sup
pose nothing else could be done with
these brigands They have been the
direct cause of much of tho misery that
has affected Cuba during the course of
the Insurrection. They cared as little
for Spanish sovereignty as they did for
Cuban Independence. They fought for
what plunder there was to be had.
They deserved neither mercy nor quar
ter. They have tecclved both, and we
shall await with some anxiety the use
they may make of their conditional lib
erty. In fulfilling the terms of the capltula.
tlon treaty, the transportation of the
tvventy-flvo thousand Spanish tioldleis
will cause some dlfllculty. Spaniards
re not particularly clean in their hob
lto at ordinary times, and we havo n
fair notion of what they ate like after
three years' campaigning In ft tropical
country, vvhero they were left practi
cally to shift for themselves. We can
not use our own transports for this
purpose ob we aro still nt war, and
Immediate debarkation Is nec&ssaiy, If
there were not sanitary nnd hygenlc
reasons beside. The best thins we can
do la to hire English, French, or Ital
ian transport nt once. Allowing ten
or twelve days for their urrivnt hcio
nnd a few days more for embarkation,
we Bhould hnve our Spanlili prisoners
on their way ncroM the Atlantic In
two week, nnd obviously the sooner
the Letter for nil concerned.
Army oftlcers back fioin Cuba ex
plain the bchcadlnB by Cubans of
Spanish pilsoneis. The men thus
treated In a few Instances were Span
ish guerillas, caught red-handed In the
act of murdering our wounded. Ofll
cers who have teturned from Santiago
say the Cuban allies ticat ordinary
Spanish prisoners who have deserted
or hac been captured with great con
sideration, have fraternized with them,
and furnished tnem food, nnd in some
cases deserters und prlsunerd have
taken up arms In the Cuban ranks,
but for guerillas and Spanish volun
teers they have no mercy. They evi
dently leallze, as our forces will be
fore they get through, that meicy on
8Uch outlaws Is wasted.
Wife Beating : A Contrast.
Wife beating Is a popular pastime
among the lower classes of English
men. It has not struck root In Ainetl
enn soil, and let us hope that It never
will. It Is only fair to say that when
a Wife benler Is hi ought within tho
meshes of the law In England his pun
ishment Is ns drastic as needs be, In
m.in 'nses, even for a wife 'beater.
The mayor of Scianton seems to take
a lenient view of wife beating, too
lenient to fit In with tho sunctltv nnd
obligations of the marital relations of
husband and wife, as understood by
livv nnd society. A rutllaii named Par
rel t was brought before him on Sunday
morning list on a. chaise of beating
his wife. The mayor In the plcntltude
of his judicial disci etlon sent the fel
low to Jail for thirty days. Tho pris
oner show s his gratitude by declaring
that he will lepeat his action with In
tel 'st when he comes out. Well he
i.i tv. The man will have ample leis
ure during the thlity days of well-fed
Idleness to nurse his wrath.
Joseph Francois, a foreigner, was ar
tested on Saturday afternoon charged
with littering the street with tubblsh.
We have no delre to palliate viola
tions of the ordlnunces of the city.
We could wish, however, to see them
ir.oic impartially If nn
enforced. Francois' cii
uit cf RII nccWent. ,,
ir.oic Impartially If not more strictly
imc was the re-
n aldeiman of
the city lined him four dollars and
t'fty cents. As the unfortunate man
earned only thlity cents In wares dur
ing two months we see how nicely ad
justed the fine was to meet the cir
cumstnnces of his financial resources.
This was a case In which a dlschaige
nnd a caution would have satisfied jus
tice eminently, nut Francois goes to
Jail as well as Barrett, nnd will prob
ably remain the longer. If his fine Is
rot paid. Queer arc- the contrasts pro
rented In our petty courts.
After Cerv era's fleet wae destroyed
the men on the Brooklyn gave three
times three cheers for Commodore
Schley, to which he responded: "Thank
jou, boys, but I didn't do It. You are
tho bos who did It. Let the oflicers
cheer the cievv." Schley beats ac
quaintance. The Passing of Populism.
The Issue of bonds In blocks of small
denominations, giving people of limited
means an opportunity of taking them
up, was popular even among the Pop
ulists for a time. These political
stoli are not above accepting tjn un
earned increment on their invest
ments when it comes to that. Now
that the war revenue bonds have been
Hubscilbed for many tlmeb over, and
a si eat economic lesson has been
taught, the Populists aro beginning
to seo that they have let matters go
too far. If tho war has done noth
ing more, It has at all events Increased
the dlhtance between the deluded al
chemists of reckless and lulnous
finance, who would turn by legislation
bllver Into gold, and the hundieds of
thousands of small trades nnd far
mers who have become Investois them
selves, capitalists on a small ecale,
whose interests aro bound up with
the secuilty and stability of the na
tional credit.
The credit of the country has never
been better nor Its general and Indus
trial prospects brighter. The war has
demonstrated the actual capabilities
of our immediately available resources
In a sudden national emergency, while
our latent lesources continue to be
the admiration and envy of tho world
at laigo T'le balance of trade in our
favor Is unprecedented, relatively and
actually Gold has poured Into the
countt y In enormous sums. Attiibute
It to what we may, the accidental cir
cumstance of a bountiful hurvest here
at a time when Europe was sutfeiing
lronx greatly diminished supplj ot In
digenous breadstuffa, or to the natural
expansion of our commerce, tlw fact
lemalns that cold has flowed lnr the
Inlets as wWl ns Into the main chan
nel of on iudustil.il activities. V. e
ten keo.o It re: only by a sounl and
ntnble readjustment of our fiscal policy.
Congress has adjourned without doing
much In that direction, but It has done
something. A bankruptcy bill has
been passed which, being a federal
measure, will make the bankiuptcy
laws uniform throughout the whole
country, which Is an object of Immense
tmpoitanco In Intel state commerce.
The details of the new banking bill
have become more familiar to busi
ness men. It tequtres a more radical
exposition than it has yet received
frjm those directly Interested In it oi
who 6dvocat ita piovUlomi and from
tho press to bring Its Importance home
to the people. The war has, of cnuise,
Iptvnupted stun a campaign of ciiu.
ration. That educational pr(.?s3 will
come In good time, however.
Between February 1, 1S94, and March
1, 1S96, the export of gold from the
United 'States reached tho alarming
figure of $S2,000,000. Indeed, It nearly
proved disastrous. This enormous
dialn took place during the peilod
when our mines yielded bullion repre
sented by a current value of $10),000,
000. We could not Ke'ep It here, to
ruuso the balance of trade was against
us, or in other woids, Am .-i lean ex-
pcrts were paid for by ii 'predated
American securities. If nny un iwkn
bock to that period of inriu.itrlitl nnd
commercial anxiety, wtwi panic was,
wilttcn In each fate, cacn one m iy
Ju.igo of the consequences of n drain
cf gold In Its broad, palpable foatutos.
Horn July ISOfi, to the present dav .,,-r
sfck of circulating K"ld hits InciojeM
by $215,000,000. This amount Is, of
course, Independent of tha treasury
reserve, which Is ns high ns It need
be, nnd was never higher before. Tho
consequence Is that banks are paying
gold Into the treasury Instead of notes,
their own gold reserves being secure.
Gold Is being forced Into circulation
despite tho fact that there Is no popu
lar demand for It, since nil our mone
Is ns good as gold, and It Is lmmateii.il
which we use ordinarily. Thl Is the
happy state In which we Jive under
the golden age of tho McKlnley ad
ministration. Tilumphant In war and
no less In the arts of peace, the Ameri
can people have seen the last of Popu
lism ns a serious menace to their
welfare. It Is nn exploded fad.
W. K. Curtis, who Is close to the ad
ministration, says Its peace terms arc.
First. The Independence of Cuba un
der a protectorate of the United States
for the purpose of preserving older
and protecting pioperty until a stable
and responsible government can be es
tablished. Second. The cession of
Puerto Ulco to tho United States In
lieu of Indemnity nnd the claims of
American cltlzona against Spain grow
ing out of the war. Third. The per
manent withdrawal of the Spanish flag
from the Philippine islands, with a
piotectorate of the United States.
Fourth. A coaling station for the
United States In the Ladrone Islands.
These terms will fully satisfy public
opinion; but they must not be moder
ated. It Is now recalled that Captain Eu
late, late of the Vlzcaya, once boasted
that he would tow the Iown back to
Spain. The wise mariner docs not
boast.
If Porto nico trade under Spanish
rule has been worth $40,000,000 to $50,
000,001) a year, under American control
it ought soon to be worth $100,000,000.
General Gomez nt last has arms, am
munition and food. It Is therefore his
turn to do something.
Editor Hearst, of the New York
Journal, Is In quanantlne, and his
paper ought to bo.
Growth of a N?u
National Spirit
rrom a Letter in tho Sun.
fOU have referred to tho compluto
change In tho tone of the courtry
which has occurred In the short
tlmo since tho beginning of tho
war. the rrowtli of a genuinely
national sentiment In all parts of tho
Union; tho stifling of nairow partisan
ship, und the stimulation of the imagina
tion and the klr.dlii p of tho prldo of tho
pcoplo brought about by tho demonstration
of our national power and tlit ability of
our political svstem to stand tho severest
strain put upon It by a foreign war. To
mo the most Impressive Indication of this
change Is the entire cessation of the cen
soilous criticism of which I have heard
so much In private conversation fot ten
or llftcen cnrs past The skeptical tone
regarding our national future, in whlcn
it was so long the fasholn of so many
of tho people with whom I talked to In
dulge, has pasted nvvay.
o
During tho fruitless nesotKtions with
Spain preliminary to the breaking out of
hostilities, the more especial newspaper
organ of this spirit of detraction In New
York published dally horrible extracts
from thn medical nnd surgical history
of our civil war, In the hopo of Induc
ing a cowardly acquiescence In tho Span
ish dem tnds. It sought to frighten its
leadeii, and probably did frighten ninny
of tlum by exaggerating tho military
and naval power of Spain and her re
sources of w-alth and civilization. Con
trasting her navy with our own. It I ut
us in the inferiority In speed and fnr be
hind In the torpedo boats nnd torpedo
dfstrovrs which, it assumed, would bo
the most considerable factor In the iia'al
conflict. It nssuined American ignorance
of the strength nnd resources of Spain
nnd ridiculed It ns a njinptom of our
provlncialit ; declared the unlltnefs of
our congress to deal with the question
of war nnd pictured the baneful conse
quences to our trade and our whole sec! tl
and political system which would como
ltom nctual hostilities. It expressed tha
vc.ulfcome spirit of dcti action and deram
atlon which had prevailed so long In the
quarters represented by It; the reaction
ary spirit which Lcgan first to exhibit
limit conspicuously in 1SS4.
-o
In placo of this cnfciblng sf-lf.depreci i
tlon I find that during the last two
months pride In Ai.erlca nnd confidence
In Its ability to sustain the fullest to
sponslbllttles of a controlling power in
the woild's affairs havo become univer
sal, and most notably among those who
beforo wero most despondent. The very
men, who. six months ngo, affected tho
most distrust of our political system aie
now most hcretul of It. Financiers, men
of large lniLortnnce tn the commercial
world, In fine, people generally who havo
been regarded as timidly conservative,
are today the most radical In their de
mand that the fruits of the war shall bo
gathered in their fulntss, and the least
fearful of the broadest possible territor
ial expansion Six months ngo they were
all deriding "Jh golsm " "Now," ns ono
of the more notable of them said to me
the other day, "wo are all 'Jingoes' " A
term of reproach has become a boaat.
Instead of defaming this country and Us
institutions the) are glorying in them
with the old Ameilcun confidence which
carried us to tho eminence where we now
aie. They aro beginning to ihlnk that,
after all. America Is a country to bo
proud of, or. rather, they aro giving up
tho affectation of depreciating their po
litical system as If It was an evidence of
their superiority to vulgar patriotism.
o
if the question of the annexation cf
Hawaii had been submitted to the vote
of tho people the decision would havo
been tho samo In all parts of the country.
From correspondents, from men who are
travelling continuously thioughout tho
Union, nnd from thoso generally who aia
best Informed as to tho drift ot public
nentlmcnt. I hear that report universally.
Heyond nil question, It Is tho pi evading
sentiment of tho business and professional
men of New York, whatever their past
political nssorlatlons, being ns strotur
among traditional Demoeiats as among
Republicans The same Is tho feeling ns
to tho acquisition of thn further terri
tory which will come to us rightful! v
and necessarily as the fruit of tho war.
Public sentiment demands It all Cuba,
Porto Itlco. the Philippines, tho Lad
rones, the Cat.arles, If within our grasp,
nnd whatever ele may bo obtainable;
and there is no misgiving as to our ability
to take care of It, no matter how exten
sive and how icmcte It may be. Tho cry
of "Imperialism" frightens nobody, mid
the newspap'r and politicians trilng to
work the scare ere wasting their Inpen
ulty. o .
Commercial enterprise thioughout the
Union sees brilliant posslLllltles In tho
coming expansion aim development, and
buslr.tts rapacity discerns In the now
stimulation of patriotic pride and growth
of unity nnd harmruy smong tho Ameri
can pcoplo tho Indications of unexampled
national pirsperlty. Confidence prevails
hi tho biislncs tommi nlly that with tha
coming of pcaco and tho garnering of the
fruits ot vlctniy llitro will enter In for vs
n peilod of oMiacrdlnnry activity, which
will extend to ovcry department of labor
nnd industry, and long continue. Tha
war has demonstrated to people at home,
not less than to pcoplo abroad, that this
government is one of the strongest nnd
stablest ever erected by man. und that
our political system Is capablo of indef
inite extension. Every Amoilcan Inter
est has gained Incalculably by tho dem
onstration. For j cars, men of conse
nuenco In our business and llnanciat cir
cles had been giving heed to newspaper
nnd political nssnults on tho foundations
of our national prosperity, oven assisting
In spreading tho defamation, hut at last
they have waked up to tho consciousness
thnt such self-depreciation and self
nbasenient nre hardly In keeping with
tho erhlMlInn of notenov nnd exuberant
vitality whlrh this country Is now making
to the world.
Another gratifying Indication is the
dlsnppearanco of the stubborn partisan
prejudice which expresses Itself In politi
cal opposition simply for the sake of op
position Go back over the history of
our political contests for nt least fifteen
years tnmt. nnd vou will find that met a
stolid prejudice was ever tho Impulse of
the opposition. Tho bringing together
of tho conservatism of the country at
the election In ISM was of far more than
nny Immediate or temporary advantage.
It released Intelligent men pormanentlv
from bondage to a political fetish, to a
mere party name; and theto now seems
to bo ahead of us a period when ques
tions of politics will be discussed on their
merits nnd not with a purely sontlmontnl
bias duo to partisan prejudice only Men
aro learning the folly of dividing politi
cally when they aro In substantial ncree.
ment as to the practical ends they want
to attain In tho government.
MILES AND LEWI
W. E. Curtis, In Chicago Record.
We are told an Interesting stoiy of n
recent encounter between the auroia
borcalls of tho house of representatives,
Mr. James Hamilton Lewis, of the state
of Washington, and Nelson A. Miles. Mr.
Lewis stepped Into the headquarters of
tho urmy one morning with his usual de.
bonalr, and addressing the great soldier
said:
"General, my people arc wondering
why our bojs are not sent to the front.
They aro tired of being woodcutters nnd
watter-carrlers and bootblacks. They en
listed to fight, and they don't propose
to stay In camp all summer. They de
mand some kind of an explanation for
detaining them."
"And who ore ou?
Tho aurora bore ills turned flame color
nnd haughtily replied: "I am Mr. Lewis,
sir: congressman fiom the state of Wash
ington."
"Oh, yes," retorted General Miles, "r.e
all have heard of )OU " And among oth
er things ho probably recnlled the fact
lhat Mr. Lewis had twice objected to the
consideration of i bill to icvive the rmik
of lieutenant general In tho arm;i. Then,
looking straight Into the cougnsi man's
ejes, tho commander of tho army said
"We aie running thlt, war. and arc not
being dictated to ny nn one. All the f.ig
end nt border civilisation can't irpecl to
conduct this war b"causi they belong to
military companies. We aie lighting to
win, nnd not to gio glory to nil bO'ts of
people "
The auburn whlsl.srs of the gentleman
fiom Washington looked like redhot coil
of wire ns h ap.Jioachel nearer to his
m.lagonlu and demandil: "Do you men

SHALL WOMEN BE EXECUTEDP
From the Wllkes-Barre Times.
The question of electiocutlng women is
agitating tho pubilo of New York. This
discussion has arisen over the sentence of
death pasted In tho case of Mrs. Mai tha
Place who was recently convicted cf a
most atrocious murder, that of her own
stop daughter Tho Jury was satisfied it
was wicked and dellbeiatc minder, that
the pilsoner was sane, and. unlike our
Grlner Jury, ttey brought In a verdict
of murder In the first degree. Tho woman
whs sentenced to bo electrocuted In tha
week beginning August 29.
It will bo rememboied that one of tho
great objectii nr to hanging was that In
tho case of worren murdcreis It was in
decent, and now It Is argued that be
cause sho Is a woman. It would be ciucl
to submit her to a disgraceful nnd tor
turing punishment. It Is a singular feat
ure of the discussion that tho majoilty
of the men denourco tho execution of
women, but on the other hind tho major
ity of the women say If she Is guilty of
a foul and deliberate murder, then she
bhould be made to pay the full penalty.
It seems to us that tho law knows no
distinction between male or femalo In
tho death penalty. The woman's chance
oomes when her defender pleads her sex
and other sentiment to the Jury, and if
they Judge her crlmo to be worthy ot
tho death penalty, she bhould die. If the
woman degrades herself by committing
a wilful and premeditated crime, how is
tho punishment to make her still mo.e
degraded? Tho plea for relieving woman
of the confequences of her crime. Is illogi
cal, and unwise, and opposed to the well
being and safety of society.
HAIR.
From the Medical Record.
A writer In nn English weekly Journal
says It Is a curious fact that red-haired
people nro far less apt to go bald th in
those with other colored hair. The aver
age crop on tho head of a rcd-halrcd per
son Is only IJD.aX) hairs. Ordinary ciaik
hair Is far finer, and over three dark
hairs take up tho space of one red one;
lfi.itmO are about tho average. Hut fali
hnlred people aro still better off, 140.0CO
to 100,000 mo quite a common number of
hairs on tho scalp of a fair-haired man or
woman. A curious calculation has b' en
made, to tho eftcr.t that the hairs on
tho head of n fan-hilred person, If they
could bo platted together, would sustain
ii weight ot something Ilka eighty tons,
equalling that of five hundred people.
THE THIRD STEP.
From thn Troy Times.
The third chepter in the Spanlsh-Amerl-can
war Is closed. The first ended with
Dewev's conquest of Spain's sea power
In the Pacific and his seizure of the key
to the Philippine Islands. The second
chapter closed with tho submersion of
Spain's Atlantic Bquadron. The thltd
ends with the surrender of the most Im
portant Spanish possessions In eastern
Oub-i. All this has happened within throe
months of tho declaration ot hostilities
an amazing record. And no less amazlni;
Is tho disparity between tho Spanish and
the American loss of life and property.
AN IMMUNE.
Tho stamp tax docs not bother me
Nor mar my life's tranquility;
Stlll-stlll In gentle peace I live:
I havo no checks, dear friends, to Give!
With no expressman I contend,
Having no packages to send:
Never a stamp law shall I break,
Having no mortgages to make.
No great transactions know my hand;
No mill wheels n.ove at my command,
No ships of mine that sail the sea;
Though banks may break, they break
not me.
Serene content, I co my way
Sound steep at night, and toll by day;
From warring wolves of tax secure
Still thankful that I am so poor!

FIGHTING JOE WHEELER.
From the Buffalo Express.
While the chief credit belongs to Gen
eral Shatter ns commander of tho army,
there aro many who will regard General
Wheeler ns tho real hero of the expedi
