Prom Business Hen's Standpoint. Already tho tiemondous wave of Jjublle pentltncnts H steadily snooping on In favor of Matthew S. Quay in the face of tho malignant persecution now Instituted imuinit him. Not only an influential portion of tho press throughout the country, but what Is of paramount importance, the individual expression of business men in every pait of the state as well as over ,i wide extent of the continent, Is indignantly plven in opposition to the methods employed by the senator's enemies. Bankers and prominent men of affairs in every city of the union arc dally heard making the statement that in their honest belief there was not only no ctiminnl intent in the transactions now being exploited, but no possible excuse for Iho barges, it is not nec essary for Mr. Quay's fi lends to 'make apologies lor him. It Is thoroughly undei&tood in business circles and among Just thinkers that It is not a case for apologetic icniaiks. but for earnest ptotebt. Of eouifce Spain objects to giving up the Philippines and to paying tho Cuban debt. Did any one expect her to be wildly hilarious over the pros pect? Spanish in the Schools. A number of contemporaries are liav Inir s-pasms over the fact that In cer tain public schools of the. country, the Spanish language has been ordered as a part of the eunlculum. These or gans decide that It Is common sense to introduce Unctlsh Into the schools of Santiago but lull to see any reason why the lanuu.ige of our laic enemy i-hould be taught the youth of the Uni ted States. (.'onimeic lally spouUng. for tome yens, Spanish has been about the best Investment after n icusonable knowl edge ot UiiRllbh was gained, that tho boy of this euiimiy could make. Any ounK man speaking Spanish fluently has been leasonablv suit- of securing an excellent position The great wholesale and Impoitlng houses of New Yoik law nlwnjx been ready to employ those in their shipping apart ments who could Mieak Spanish, for it hus long been most Important particu larly among the dealers in tropical ft ults. ' A member ol one of tho laigest firms In this cnuntiw has given his live sons and sons-in-law the advantage of a Ihoiough couise In Spanish and they have consequently been of inestimable i-ervice In the businet-s. not only in traveling but In the various houses of the impoitets. Manj oung I'ubaiiR huve come to this country since the troubles on the Island and have ob tained lucrative employment becauno of their ability to peuk U'e language. Today Spanish is mote In demand than any other foreign language. One of the greatest disadvantages ut Ma nila has been the almost universal Ig norance of the language by our troops, and tho seeming impossibility of se curing Interpreters. Only a few men nnd thosft In tho Oregon nd California regiments have been able to talk to tho natives und they have been In most urgent demand by night and by day. The nngllsli who know Spanish have been entirely occupied with their te vlvlng business nnd are therefore un uvullable. The Latin, Gieok, German and French of the army boys aru rust ing or want of use but the Importance of Spanish l emphasized hourly. At thU time ihete la an added In centive for learning It as tho growth of commerce In tho ney adjusted terri tory must necessarily teach a great degre while our commercial relations with the Central and South American rounti les will receive a now impulse nnd expansion, American capital will bo diffused over a vast portion of ter ritory hitherto undeveloped and tho need of Hpnnlsh speaking men of af fairs, prospectors, clerks, nnd in fact emplojes In almost every piofesslon and trado will be more nnd mote ap parent no. the months pass. The pub lic idioola of Chicago and of vat Ions other cities are nlinply endeavoring to keep ali east ot the tlmeo. Those who attempt to Impsde the progress of this most Impoilant enterprise will llnd themselves unheeded, and more than this, unbeneflted by the prospcilty which Is certain to follow such n step. Dr. Swallow's paper, the Common wealth, seems tu be worrying becaune The Tribune is not devoting Its entire attention to that harmless Utile sheet. The fact Is that the Commonwealth is usually too monotonous in Its matiiul clings to deseive exclusive notice. It Is difficult to keep the public entranced for two or three jeuis with one lire repoit und one buiglury tale when even these have long been branded as fakes. We can't even give tho Commonwealth credit for having dis covered the litest mate's nest, the i-o-called consphacy In the People's'bank. "A Contemptible Scheme." The Hciunton Times Is very correct In branding the distribution of tho tomb-stone citculnr among the soldlets at Camp Meade as "a contemptible scheme." but the Times' application of the schema Is certainly the most'te mutkuble flight of Imagination ever at tempted by even an editor of a Demu ciatlc paper and that Is saying a gteat deal. The Idea thut it Is the plan of the liepubllcun party of tills state to Incense the soldleis against ''the al leged Democratic or Pioliibition nuthois" by the cluulatlon of the mis leading ciicular is positively unique. The Iteptiblltans would bo as likely to rcsoit to this method as thoy would to get up the Quay persecution with the Idea of gaining sympathy for th' ticket. Xo one lias yet accused them of the latter oficnse, and while there tan be no sort of doubt that both tho an est of Senator Quuj and the con coction of tlie vile libel against the gov ernment and against Colonel Stone will be buoineiatigs, jet no one in his senses enn fancy for a moment that the Re publican paity has been responsible for endeavoring to thus away the soldier vote. It Is cncouiaging that tho Times rec ognizes the scheme as one of the vilest and lowest type, but when It asserts that no Democrat or Piohlbltlonlst could be such a tool as to attempt to woik It, an ustonlshlug ignoiance of the tiicksteis in Its own parts, and that of Hi other Swallow Is revealed. The onlv realty certain element In the whole affair Is that straight Republi cans nie not responsible for th slanderous anonymous thiust at the biave and honorable man who will be the next governor of Pennsylvania. One benefit pioduced by tho prospec tive pilgrimage of the Get man empeior to the Holy Land will he that the rural supeivls-or will get In his. woik on the roads in that legion for about the ill st time In the Chllstiaii eta. Colonel Stone. The ilkes-IJane Times says some very plain sensible things nbous our next governor, and they deserve repe tition: "Soni- wenk-kneed Republicans and we are glad they are but fewafter studying Deinocintlc effusions and lis tening to Swallow blatherskite, say 'we cannot vote for Colonel V. A. Stone becaue he Is a Quay man.' What rubbish, us though men like our leprcsentatlves Frank AVheaton nnd Samuel It. Moigan would vote for any one that was not fit to till the guberna torial chair with ciedlt and with hon- 01. "Colonel Stone Is a man of singular Independence of character and with a reputation that is positively stainless, nnd Is It likely. Is it leasonable to sup pose, that h- would destroy the jec ord of a life time to become the tool of any living man? It Is llterelly ab siucl. Colonel Stone lias a reputation made as n lepiesentatlve to four con gresses, dining which time he hos won the esteem of tuch Inflexible and high minded Republicans like Speaker Keed and Chairman Dlnglej. On the Held of battle he fought for the Integiity of the Union and In the house he fought for tho integrity of the Sabbath against the Western hosts, and for which he received the thanks of thous ands of elergmcn and church-goers. "He has fought for seveial other measmes against big lobbies of cor porations and bteamshlp companies, and not one of them were rich enough to buy his vote. Ai was said of Conk If ii. so it can be said of Stone, 'Ills hand was never touched by any bilbe, on his soul theie never was a sordid main.' fter serving eight yea is In con gress, he cheiished an hcnoiable de siic to become governor of this state, and those who know him have alwajs been impressed with his ruggej kIo- pendence and his conseluitlous icgaid for the welfdie of the people. The only thing the yelping opposition can urge against him Is. 'Oh. he Is Quay's man." Ills public declaiatlon, however. Is a HUiilelent pledge thut if elected he vv 111 do his duty. Here It Is- " 'It will be my purpose while gov ernor of Pennsylvania, as it has been my puipose In the public positions that I have held, with God's help, to dls chatge my whole duty. Tho people are gi eater than the patties to which they belong. I am only jealous of their fuor. 1 shall only attempt to win their appioval and my experlenc hns taught me that tan best be done by an honrst, modest, dally dlschnrgo of public duty.' " The moH vexatious and dlscourag lug featuie of the affair with Spain which ended In the defeat of the Cas tlllan hosts iu the fact that pending a settlement of the peace conditions Spanish barbarity continues unabated In Cuba. Accoidlng to reports received by the Junta, tho conditions of the Cubans almost everywhere In the In tel lor are deplorable, nnd It seems the puipose of tho Spaniards to keep them so as long as possible. It is a pity that In view of all circumstances that the reptohontatlvos of a burbuious nation thai Is now suing for peace should b allowed to continue the deviltry that pi o Voiced the war until a final settle ment Is tnude. Agonclllo says that he got all tlinl he wanted at Washington, which Is pretty good evidence that Agonclllo did not want tho earth, The Klondlko Bubble. The collapse of the Klondike bubble will be a sad blow to many who have staked their all on the nice for wealth In tho fro7en regions of the arctic circle. Disappointment and disaster have been the fate of the gtent major ity of those who have sought riches In the northern gold fields, and it be comes more and more apparent that many unfottunnte prospectors have been the victims of giasplng steamship companies who nte willing that the gold sseker should spend his last dol lar for passage to the mining regions wheie the chances are a bundled to one thut he will never accumulate enough dust to pay for tho leturn trip. United States Consul McCook. at Dawson City, has forwarded a report to the department of state bearing upon the condition ot affalis in the Klondike mining regions which Is any thing but attractive'. Dawson City is the largest mining camp In America, and contains a shift ing population of 20,000 people. The nleis, dancing halls, saloons und gam bling houses are the only establish ments thut may be said to piospor. Thp price of property Is enormous, and the ptlce of food still more enoi nious. A dinner costs $2.50 and a breakfast $1.50. Lodging In a bunk Is $1.50 per night, nnd the hotels chaige $li.."0 for a bed at night. Labor costs a dollar an hour, but even nt that there are Idle men. Fortv thousand piospectors have passed thiough Daw son City on their way to the mines, while hundreds of disappointed men are going away daily. It Is by the merest chance that one may strike n rich claim. The distress about Dawson Cltv is vividly desciibed by Consul McC'ook, who uiges that no one should attempt to prospect for gold unless he has pro- i'ions pnough to last -over one winter and enough money to tak" him home in ens-o of failure. This is an authentic and official re port of conditions In the Klondike, nnd many who are now stranded at Daw son City will' doubtless agree that it has been published none too soon. One of the most reprehensible sides of the Quay peisecutlon Is the unrea sonable and ciuel method In which It hns attacked ex-Treasurer Haywood. Xo one has ever conscientiously con sidered Mr. Haywood anything but an honest man, faithful and sincere In his service to the state and unflinching In his Integilty. That he Is chaiged with conspiracy at this late day Is simply because he Is Quay's friend. Those who have Instigated this accusa tion know veiy well that Mr. Haywood Is utterly Innocent of any wiong do ing In the matter, and. biokcn in health as he Is he will still be entliely able to dlspiove the bitter onslaught made by the enemies of the Republi can party. The Archbald Citizen came out for the flist time Saturday under Its new proprietory editor, P. A. Phllbln. Hven the ilrst number under the new man agement indicates that Archbald Is to have ii paper It will acknowledge with piide. Mr Phllbln is oggresslve and popular and possesses all the equip ment necessaiy to a successful news paperman. He can be relied upon to Improve his paper with each issue. Many interesting features which no suburban weekly heieabouts ever be fore attempted aie contained In Satur day's Issue and muny otheis aie prom. Ited for succeeding Issues. A thought ful aitlcle on "Archbald of Today" Is one of the best of these special fea tutes.

At that time ne KOtlatlons were pending with Denmark tor tho purchase of Hi. Thomas. St. Johns nnd St. Croix, the three constituting what aie known f.t the Virgin Islands, for $11, .W.009. Tho posscFslon of Porto r.lco now gives the United Slates i mplo coaling fu-cllltlc-3 and barbers In this part of the West Indies but as Denmark wlehes to sell, nnd this country would not bu will ing to Bee tho group tranufcired to any other power, it is not unlikely the v'lrjln Islands sooner or biter will be joined to tho United Stutes.

I put up In packages slmllaily labeled. This latter practice seems to be growing, und German and Japanese goods nie often palmed off fo- the supcilor Ameilcun ar ticle. Consul Ikdloe also points out that the tenltoilnl concessions In China ob tained by Russia have already begun to influence trade, nnd th" published tot ot the alleged asieciTcnt between the Rus sian and Chlii(o governments shows that the latter has agreed to chaige one-third les Import duty on all Russian goods en tering f'hlna through to Manchuria than on goods Imported fium other countries.

TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT. From Gunlou's Magazine for Oi tuber. Much pralso has luen given to olonel Roosevelt for the way he led his iegl ment up the hill at Santiago under tho withering fire of the eneniv. Ucfeirlng to this In his fntcwell address to his ngl ment at Montauk Point he said: "It was not so much bravery on my part. 1 hail to run like hell to keep the bo.vs frjei tunning over me." The lemnik i-hows the sterling qiwllt.v of the man. In the case of most people the streams of com pliment that have been pom eel out upon Colonel Roosevelt would hive cie.ited an Incurable state of swelled-heiid a sort of Nebuchadnezzar estimate of his abilities but. whether he felt the swelled-head or not, he had the good sense to attribute the cause of his i mining to the enthusi asm ot his comrades, so as to give them a, full share In the compliment. Nobody will ehuige Mr. Roosovelt with being pnrtlcu laily modest- he Is not un.iwaie of his own abllltes nnd ambitions nnd success, but he bus what Is so often lacking the good sense not to let It spoil htm. This Is shown also In the following ad vice he gave his regiment In the faiewell speech referred to: "Now here's a thing I want to wan yon against: Don't get gav and pose as heroes Don't go back and lie on your Inurelsj they'll wither The world will bo kind to you for ohout ten dnb, nnd then It will sav 'He's spoiled by th" fame ot the icglment In Cuba.' Don't think you've got to have the best of every thing, and don't consider yourselves is martyrs In the past tease. What I want of nil of you Is to get rlaht out and fight your battles In the world as luavelv as you fought the nation's battles In Cuba." Whether Colonel Roosevelt Is elected governor of New York state or Is called to serve the public In some other ca pacity, or Is permitted to retoln the rani's of useful, piogrcsstvo citizens, he wli al ways be known as one of Amei lea's dis tinguished characters nnd one of the best products of American Institution".
