The conviction of Honrv Kolpcr for
rtssattltlng the South Ide represent!!
tlve of The Tribune was rendered
necessary for exemplar effect upon
the typo of citizen whose literary crit
icisms ar habitually expressed In the
pugilistic fnsMim. This type fortu
nately is becoming rarer as ehlhzation
diffuses but It Is yet frequent enough
to occasion Intermittent annoyance to
conscientious reportets whose business
is searching for legitimate news, and
who therefore are r.ot to be held physi
cally accountable for work which their
employers direct and supervise.
Wanamaker ns a Boss.
Mr. Wanamaker Is giving evidence
dally of the wisdom of the last legis
lature when It refused to elect him
United States senator. Professing to
be an npoptle of purer politics, he Is
rapidly displaying In most offensive
forms the ways and means which he
bo loudly condemns, and while revllliTg
bosslsm Is treating the country to a
spectuclc of arrogant self-assumption
which would be bosslsm at Its worst It
any considerable number of Pennsyl
vanlans would consent to be bossed by
a person so narrow and vindictive.
With regard to the arrest of Quay.
Haywood and others we need now call
attention only to the fact that It was
so timed as to prevent a thorough sift
ing In court until after the ensuing elec
tion, although on the face of the
charges knowledge of the alleged ovil
doing of Quay and colleagues must
have been In possession of the insti
gators of the arrests as eurly as last
April. It would take a pretty artful
boss to beat this specimen of thimble
rigging', which the people of the state
Instinctively accredit to Wnnamaker.
We entertain no fears of the ability of
Senator Quay not only to dispose satis
factorily of the present charges against
htm but also to uncover those who ar
using this lino of attack upon him; we
suspect, indeed, that when the courts
have concluded their probing It will
not be Quay who will emerge the worse
for the revelations thus Invited or the
more astonished at the effect of those
revelations upon public opinion.
Bo this as It may. note bow Wnna
maker blusters and bluffs when hit n
few gentle raps with his own favorlto
weapon. For upward of six months he
has been allowed to have his unchal
lenged way In abusing Quay and
Quay's friends and In Impugning their
honesty; yet when Senator Penrose,
wearying u trifle at the campaign's
one-sldedncss, proceeded the other
night to tuin the calcium ray very
briefly upon the character and ways of
Wanamaker, uttering only a few of
the things ho Is doubtless well prepared
to prove, behold. John froths like a
maniac and threatens with libel suits
every newspaper which is fair enough
to give the untl-Wanamaker side of
the case. So accustomed has he grown,
it would seem, to editing the papers of
Philadelphia, which, Penrose says, could
not print reports of an official investi
gation reflecting on Wanamaker until
Wanamaker's advertising agent first
revised tho copy, that he now assumes
to dictate to tho press of the entire
state another undertaking In which
this great man, we fear, will fall.
or course, all this, theatrical parad
ing or the legerdemain of vindictive
personal politics has absolutely no
bearing whatever upon the tate or
national campaign. Stone for governor
and Connell for congress are Kepubll
cans to be supported, without regard
to Quay or Wanamuker, because they
represent tholr party and stand for
efficient government. Uach stands by
himself on hi own record In publlo
life. We allude to the Wanamaker tac
tics simply to note the reeling of re
action which they are Inspiring and to
express a hope that this vindictive
Philadelphia would-be boss, In conse
quence or this reactionary movement
In public opinion, will soon be so thor
oughly discredited and extinguished
that he will trouble the politics or
J'enneylvanla no more.
Reports say that tho Paris news-
papers nre ' fnclnp the Vashoda tdttta

press to rcfttiln from the gaiety ex
hibited Hi the hcRlnnlng of the Spun-Isli-Amorlonn

It begins to look as though the weep
ing Jeremiahs of Populism will have
to move to tho Klondike In order to

The Latest Labor Tragedy.
.So fur us the public Is Informed as to
the causes of the labor trouble irt Vlr
den, 111., Its sympathies arc undoubt
edly with the strikers. Althoush the
ense of the latter Is weakened by re
sort to violence, there can be little
doubt that the best sentiment of the
country will strongly condemn the im
portation of convict labor to take the
place of the strikers, who, up to the
moment of such Importation, conducted
themselves, it appears, with becoming
moderation and obedience to law. That
In the face of such competition the
Htrlkers should momentarily have lost
control of themselves Is deplorable, but
It Is not unnatural. Human nature
must he reckoned with as well as law.
This latest labor tragedy simply ie
cmphaslzcs the act that things can be
too cheap. Mad competition In the soft
coal market has In many localities
beaten down the price of coal to n point
whore a living wage to miners Is prac-
I tlcally Impossible. The right of the
miners to demand n living wage Is uu-
assailable. Tho moral duty of the nilne
j owncts to pay It Is equally undeniable.
' If this can be done only through a com-
blnntlon of producing interests to force
up tho soiling price it will become
equally the duty of consumers to pay
an Increased price. Any price which
continuously represents beggary to
labor and loss to Invested capital is an
immoral price, In the guilt of which all
arc Involved who knowingly and will
ingly avail themselves of it.
Violence, however, is not a remedy
for any of these Ills. Violence simply
Intensifies them. Labor nnd capital do
their best woik and roach their best
ends when working together In Intelli
gent harmony. No sensible employer
wants discontented help and no ra
tional employe wants to force an em
ployer Into Insolvency. Where reason
and arbitration arc powerless force Is
equally futile.
Lord Hosebery's announcement that
England Is prepared to light whenever
ocoanlrn demands will probably have
the effect of checking undue exuber
ance on patt of lOtiropcan nations who
mistake a spirit of conciliation for
that of timidity.
Marriage and Divorce.
Tho dlcu,S'tlon of the divorce prob
lem as It has been conducted before th"
general convention of the Protestant
Episcopal church relates chlolly to
marriage as u sacrament and Is notable
mainly for tho strength of the faction
which holds that under no circumstan
ces ought a person once divorced to bo
permitted to remarry. Tho right of tho
Protestint Episcopal church to adopt
for Its government mich rules touching
this nnd other points of ecclesiastical
polity as It may elect must bo conceded
and those dissenting from Its conclu
sions may flntl other denominational
affiliations: yet In a broad sense the
subject here raised merits general at
tention, and the drift of opinion, wo
suspect, will be away from Increased
strictness regarding divorce.
It goes without saying that tho dis
ruption of family ties Is not a mattn
to be lightly considered; yet it is equal
ly true that the honoring of thofe tle.s
in the letter only, without respect for
their spirit, Is hurtful to society an I
fertile in the conditions which beget
Immorality. A union kept up for show
merely, with hat,e or Imlllference occu
pying the place ot love, offers no lit
nursery for the good tr.ilnlnjf of chil
dren or tho inculcation of those homely
domestic virtues upon which the wel
fare of society depends. In other
words. It Is tin open question whether
the marriage preserved simply because
there is no legal escape and lacking
every essential condition precedent to
domestic happiness is in any sense u.
gain to the community In general;
whether, In shoit, such n murrlage can
be considered as s.inotllled in any true
religious sense aim therefore not dis
soluble without disrespect for Scrip
ture. lie individual Judgment on this point
what It mm , It Is safe ground for all
to take that civil legislation governing'
marriage and divorce should be uni
form throughout the various states and
that there should be no rivalry among
those states for the transient Immi
gration of divorce xeokers attracted
from one commonwealth to another
by competitive oilers of easy release
from conjugal obligations.
The roller skating craze, with Its
accompanying divorce suits and gen
eral domestic Infelicity, tlueatens thev
countt v again. Censors of morality
will do well to erect a barbed wire
fence early In front of the roller skate
boom.
Future of Cuba.
General Miles' tribute to Garcia and
his statement that the people- of this
country are Inclined to underrate the
Cubans may have influence In deciding
tho futur of Cuba.
General Miles says: "I have a very
good opinion of Garcia. At my per
sonal request he cheerfully undertook
the task of keeping curtain Spanish
forces from Joining the Spanish troops
in Santiago, He succeeded so well
that only a small detachment actually
got Into Santiago before it surrendered
to General Shatter.
"Speaking or Garcia, I think there
Is a tendency In this country to under
rate the Cubans. My observation Is
lhat while they did not do all that was
expected or them, they did very well
Indeed. For all that they did In tho
campaign ngulnsi Santlugo, and for
all lhat they did previous to that event
as our allies 1 do not think they have
received Just compensation. .N'otwlth
standing that fact, tho Cubans have
given us very little trouble.
"Or course, there Is some disorder In
the Island us a consequence or a long-
drawn-out war. And then, too, every
army 1ms nn element that Is more or
less undesirable. 'There Is nothing
elevating In war, but much that Is
very demoralising, My opinion Is that
the Cubans as mass will prove good
citizens."
While this opinion from such author
ity ns General Miles Is encouraging, It
cannot be said that certain Cubans are
doing u wise thing: Just now.
The tnunlfqsto which the Malunzas
section of the Cuban national party
proposes to send to President McKln
ley Is a very decided expression that
Independence Is the only thing for
Cuba; that the people have tho right
In liberty and the moral and Intellec
tual conditions to govern themselves.
There Is a somewhat widespread
opinion that the Cubans overestimate
their abilities In the lino of self-government,
and the fear Is entertained
that the troubles of the I'ultcd S'ntes
would by no means be ended as re
gards the turbulent little neighbor at
her southern gateway.
The Cuban manifesto, while diplo
matically constructed, Is still not spec
ially designed to delight her powerful
protector of the past few months ns
under the guise of solicitude for extra
trouble and expense on the part of this
country which would be entailed by
military and official occupancy of the
Island. It plainly Intimates that Ameri
can troops are neither needed nor
wanted In that vicinity.
This manifesto is In rather bad
taste at the present time when the
enemies of the Cubans arc not yet off
Cuban soil and when, wore It not for
the American mllltniy protection an.l
direction In sanitary and official mat-
teis, the conditions of the Islnnd
crs would be more pitiful and more
chaotic than It Is. The decision as to
the disposition of Cuba must for some
time rest entirely with the power that
has released her from a long and cruel
bondage. The quickest way for th
Cubans to get political control Is to
show capacity for It.
Reaction Against
Yel.Iou) Journalism.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Till New York Times, one of tae
most admirable m wspapors pub
lished, has startled Its contempora
ries In that city by reducing Us
price from three cents to one cent
within the lliulU of Greater New York.
The old price will obtain for out of towi
buyer. The icusim given for the charrrn
in price Is a ds.lro to Increase Its clrcui.i
tlcui and broaden Its Influence. The New
York Times has long had tho standing ot
a model newspaper and an exemplar In
Journalism. Edited with conspicuous
ability, and conducted with enterprise
and lutelllt-ence. It Is a wholesome, clean
Journal, eschewing all manner of filth and
Indecency, and constituting one of tho
stronpest bciu-ilci nl Influences' that are
sti'Mng to make "reason prevail. " "All
the news Hint's lit to print" Is Its motto,
and P 1ms lived up to It. The entrance
of such a paper Into the one cent field
could not fall to evoke criticism and re
newed discussion ot the old question
whether It is possible to publish on sctinil
business principles a paper of the highest
quality and churacter for one cent. The
Times Is confident of succecs, though an
nouncing Its intention to return to a high
er pi ice If advisable, and declares that tho
change lh one of price and not of char
acter. :o:
Tho criticism advanced by the oppo
nents of tho one cent Idea Is that there Is
a certain price, below which It is Impos
sible, on sound business principles, to
publish a i.ewspaper. und one cent is lie
low that price. The ccst of publishing
a now.-niiper Is enormous. The great
lilant to be maintained, tho corps of men
trained In the craft, the large body of
skilled workmen, the army of newsgat ti
ers, the various fixed chaws, the Interest
on the capital, and especially the white
p-iper consumed dally, lnu'ie a total widen
Is so huge that, if high cumllt.N In all bo
maintained, the completed paper. If hold
nt one rent. Is sold without piolu. or at
an actual loss. This Is the shrewd erltl
iim. based on many experiments, niaile
against the lower price. It is wholly Im
material how raniiv copies nre sold, be
cause the cost of white p..per o' a gowj
quality Is so great that, with the otl-er
expenses added, the cJst of ca-.h finished
pap"r leaves no margin at one cent.
:o;
It is evident, then, that any prospect
of prollt for the publisher rests wholly
In tho Inert ascd advertising patronage,
which he holies will follow. This Is not
business. It Is the abandonment of Hie
only safe, sound business giound, that
of a fair profit, to embark m the realm
of tho fortuitous. It is u change from a
t-uu'id, safe business basis to a pre
carious and doubtful one, and there
fore, we should say that In placing a
paper in a hazardous position. Jeopar
dizing Its Independence, there Is a ten
dency to weaken Its independence and
Impair Its tone.
:o:
The editor of tho Times assumes that
therw Is a vast numner of educated, re
fined and Intelligent people In New York
who would prefer to rend a clean news
paper, "not given over to vulgarity and
madhout-e methods," and that these pen.
pie. who nre now deterred from reading
a decent newspaper because of Its higher
price, will abandon the vulgar papers
and read wholesome ones, If the price be
lowered. Here aie two false assump
tions. e do not believe that refined
people read the "madhouse" sheets, ai.rt
we do not assent to the proposition that
Intelligent, healthy minded people nio de
terred from habitually reading decent pa
pers because of the difference of one or
two cents in price. That were a pitiful
islimate to put upon tho quality of the
country's refinement and Intelligence. Jl
1. we ale si-re, it mistake to assume that
only the well to do buy the high tinss
newspapers. Wo do not think It Is ro
much u matter of menns as of taste nnd
churacter, and tbo intelligent and iclhicU,
whether itch or ptir, will be found,
ihluk, to be the patrons of clean, honest
ncwi-pupcis.
:o:
The Times, we believe, has made a
mistake. The people who now read the
"madhouse" sheets rcud them because
they nro loud and vulgar. They are
the morbid, who, as the French fcay, con
stantly cravo a "new thlvor." They ate
seeking a new siiisattou. und the paper
that "peppers the highest Is barest to
please." H Is a clientage as unstable as
water, und wlmn once got Is of uncertain
duration. Th temptation to hold it oy ca
tering to it will tic well nlch Ineslstlble.
No orator Is unlntlut need by his audience,
und every newspiper is liuuud tu bo Influ
enced. It may be h sciislblv, but none the
lens appreciably, by the chiuactcr of Its
readers. To make sacrlllce of quality tor
mere populailty Is to thiow away hUccees,
and to get what Is of questionable value.
People- who bellevo that tho day ot tho
ono cent newspuper Is Inevltublo are, wo
think, wide of the murk. The very oppo.
site we deem to be tho exart truth. The
cheap yellow Journalism bus been over
done. Tho people are tired of It, and
the reaction Is coming. To suppose ih.it
tho ogue of the hideous mass of ridi
culous, inane, vulgar, mendacious tVl't
that masqucrudes under tho uiimo or ue.vs
In tho llumboyaut cheap Journals is uny
thlng but n passing craze Is to wholly
misjudge tho sanity nnd basic common
sense of tho people. They nre disgusted
with it, and we have the bent reaMins,
based on the most Irrefragable tfstlmonv.
that there never wan a time when th"
peoplo were mere willing to pay a fair
prlco for a good nwpaper than thty are
today.
LOOKING FOH EVIL".
From the Philadelphia llullctlu.
The W. 0. T. V. ot Chicago Is full of
trouble and distracted by perplexities.
Tho fact Hint wine Is to be served at the
Pence Jubilee banquet has called forth
nn eat nest protest, to which, sad to say,
the managers of the festivities In ques
tion have turned a deaf car. Another
wrong which these strenuous Indies sock
to have rectified Is tho liso of French In
tho menu of tho forthcoming spread, nnd
u demand that the language ol Gaul shall
be tabooed on this occasion has been
formally addressed to the conimlttvo In
charge of the arrangements, It Is to bo
feared that this effort will likewise be fu
tile. The llanquet Committee, being
made op of pronalc nnd practical men,
may even be so Impolite as to Intimate
that there Is quite enough woik tor the
V. C. T. V. to do In attacking real and
dangerous evils, and that Its members
would do well In confining their energies
to Issues of this sort without seeking to
dlctnte regarding the minor matters of
soeiul life.
THE POWERS OF CHINA.
From the Philadelphia l.ciUer.
The powers have wisely refused the
request of the Chinese officials not to
Increase the strength of their Irgntlon
guards. The icqucst wns made mi the
grounds that the presence of the for
eign soldiers might exasperate 111" Pe
kin populace to the point of rioting. The
very plea shows the necessity of the ad
ditlonnl guards, and, under the circum
stances, not to Increase the force of
guards about the legations would be to
Invite possible massacre of tho foreigners
In Pekln. Affairs in the- capital ot China,
nnd In fact thicushotit the whole em
pire, are too critical for the powers to
take any chances.
-
THE INDIAN OUTBREAK.
From the Hartford Courant.
An "Indian wnr" In Minnesota in the
yenr lflS Is a disgrace to the I'nited States
of America. They don't have Indian
wars up in Canada.
LITERARY NOTES.
Octave Thanet bus named her latest
volume cleverly. It Is called "A Slave to
Duty and Other Women ' instead of the
usual "nnd other stories." The book Is
entirely about women and the Joys and
problems of their lives. The publishers
of the book aro Herbert S. Stone & Co.,
of Chicago. The cover design Is taken
from an old patch work quilt.
The article on "The Navy in the War."
by Captain F. R. Chadwick. ot the Flag,
ship New York. In the November Scrlb
tier's, Is the first complete and authorita
tive account of the many problems that
had to be met In the formation of an
adequate fleet, and the conclusions to be
drawn from the victory before Santla-xo
ns to questions of type, construction, etc.,
of the navy of the future.
Hlehnrd Harding Davis' war nrtb-lo In
the November Srrlbr.or's deals with the
Porto Hlcan campaign, for which ho has
nothing but praise. He says: "The cam
p.ilgn was nipped by peace utmost before
It could show Its strength, but from the
start, It was one with which an, of tho
great military powers would have been
pleased and satisfied. And this In spite of
the fact that the regiments engaged, with
but three exceptions, were composed of
volunteers,''
A new book entitled "The Borderland of
Society" Is announced for publication ny
Herbert S. Stone & Co.. of Chicago. It
Is by Charles Uelmont U.ivls, son of He.
becca Harding Davis, and brother of
Hlchard Harding Davis. Mr. Charles U.i
vls makes In this volume his first ap
pearance In book form, although readers
of Harper's and the Century will re
member the clever stoiies fiom ids hand
which have appeared in these magazines
from time to time. Mr. Davis' work has
all that pleasant cosmopolitan woiidli-
ness which his brother's Is noted for.
An Important announcement for the
autumn publishing season Is that of a
olumo by the late Captain Sir Kloh.ird
Ilurton. It Is entitled "The Jew. the
Gypsy and Ft Islam." This Is an ex
tremely Important study of these three
subjects. Tho book was Issued n little ear
lier In England than in America, and the
part concernlug tho Jews has already
created violent controversy there. The
book was edited by W. H. Wllklns and
slnco I.ady Burton's death he seems to bo
allowed a freer hand with Uurton's liter
ary lemalns. The American publishers
of tho book aro Herbert S. Stone & Co.
Lieutenant llradley A. Flskc, IT. S. N-,
has written an article for the November
Century entitled "Why We Won nt Ma
nlla." Lieutenant Flsko contrasts the
discipline, innrksmanviilp. and training
of the Anifilc.au and Spanish sailors, and
gives riii Impression of the engagement
from the view point of "the man behind
the guns." The wilter, who is an nillcer
of the Petrol, was stationed aloft, where
ho could see a bo v.) the smoke and havo
an unobsti acted view, ills duties w-re
to measure the enemy's distance so he
had tho means and the leisure for observ
ing everything connected with the action.
For somo years there has been a de
mand for a manual of etiquette which
should be written by some ono of author
ity nnd bo brought directly up to date.
Messrs. Herbert S. Stone & Co., of Chifi
go, announce that "Etiquette for Ameri
cans" by "A Woman of Fashion" fills ex
actly this want. It is a senslblo book
and does not try to force ultra fashiona
ble rules on every one. but It Is still ade
quate for those who wish to know fash
Ion's last edict. The Identity qf the writer
Is naturally not disclosed. A woman
whose position made her an absolute au
thority on the subject would naturally
wish to avoid the notoriety of her own
namo on the title page.
"Another Triumph for Uobson" is iho
title of tho first pugo of Leslie s Weekly
this week. The picture shows tho raising
of the Spanish cruiser, Infanta Maria
Teresa, sunk by Schley oft Santiago on
the 3d of Jul, and destined to bo the
latest addition to tho Fnlted States fleet.
Tho double-page Is a splendid picture or
Colonel Thcodoro Roosevelt In his rough
rider's unirorm. "An Awful Tragedy ot
the Spanish War" Is u page plctuie Plus,
tratlng the first of a series of thrilling
articles on "What I Saw in tho War." by
James F. J. Archibald. The lust days of
Spanish rule In Porto Hlco have a page of
Illustrations; another Is devoted to scenes
In the busy life In and about Honolulu;
another to the reception In tho borough of
Brooklyn, New York, In honor of the re
turn of her bravo soldiers; and still un
othep to tho fourth of tho interesting sc
ries of "Uniforms and Types of Our Army
and Navy." These uro the chief illus
trations. The letter-pross Includes a con.
tlnuation of Cleveland Moffelfs spicy
cump-storles, and many other matters of
spelcal Interest to tho Aineilcan public.
