The nfllPlnl repot or Admiral Samp ron does not Inteml to leave unromoved nny more ilouht as to which nnvnl fins "flleer wns the real thins;. Where Experience Counts. In every field of human activity In ti'lllKcnt experience counts: hut It l. especially valuable in halls of leRlsla tlnn. No man holding a commission from the people can do his best work during his first term, especially If that term he brief, allowing small opportun ity for becoming familiar with the ttlcks and iiuliks said to he found In all tindcs. In eongiess it Is notoriously trtf that the first-termer, unless enjoying special ml vantages, has little to do with shaping Important legislation; indeed. It is rare thnt congress will give the first-termer even u chance to make a speech. Custom in that august body sits down on the tender foot with almost the same relentlessness that it used to in the West; and not until h" has served his probation and won a re-election or two is lie permitted to show what ho can do. Tho Mime, fact is in evidence In both hranches of the state legislature at llarrlshurg. The now member can vote and do committee work If he wants to, and he can think himself of importuned until ho discovers the contrary; but when It conies down to tho line points In parliamentary practice nnd proce dure and to the proper sifting of pro posed measures or legislation the man who lias completed his upprentleeshlp Is the one who i tiles the day. There are, of couise,' exceptional Instances of first tennprs springing Mlnorvn-llke Into tho forefront of the situation; but they are not frequent enough to modify tho rule that not until n representative has been 'Initiated" Is he In form to he of maximum service to his constituents. Cities like Philadelphia and Pittsburg, appreciating this fact, send men to tho leglslatuto year after year and thes consequence become lenders who euro from the powers that bo much more than the average proportion of consideration for their districts. There arc other things than exper ience to ho considered und sometimes there Is no choice In this respect . In the Second district in Lackawanna county, for Instance, both the nominees tiro unfamiliar with the inner workings of legislative careers, and tho voter has to choose between them on other gro.unds. Itut in the remaining dis tricts In this county, as well us in tho cases of the nominees for congress nnd state senator, the Ilepubllcuns have followed the principle of keeping tho trained servant In oillce and the effect of this wlso policy If ratified at tho polls will he visible in greatly increased efllclpiicy of service during the ensuing legislative sessions. It is worth dollars and cents to Lackawanna county to send a solid Hcpuhllcan delegation to the next legislature. A vote for Senator Vnughan for re election will be a vote In behalf of ex perience und proved ability. Hy good work ho has thoroughly earned a sec ond term. A Sensible Cuban. With due discount for natural mis understanding and exaggeration, it is evident that our pathway to the nacl llcatlon of Cuba Is to bo full of thorns. Haclal suspicion, bred In tho bone dur ing centuries of oppression and Intri gue, will be agulnst us, and the largo element of Ignorant natives utterly un ncqualnted with American wayH will be inviting raw material for the handl work of professional disturbers nnd ad venturers. Such being the prospect, It Is encour aging to find here nnd there a promi nent Cuban possessing strong common sense. One of theso Is Itafael do Car denas, brigadier general In the Insurg ent army, who took Aranguren's place In tho vicinity of Havana when thnt dnshing young Hotapur fell. Bays Gen eral Cardenas: "I havo full confidence in the good faith with which the United States intorfeied in our war. That country did nut maku war to conquer. the Island, but to free Cuba and estab lish here nn Independent government. I urn nUo well nwaro that It will re quire time to accomplish this great purpose, and thut for years before sur rendering the Island to the Cubans, tho United States will have to control tho affairs of Cuba. This Ib only nat ural, for tho United States Is responsi ble before the world for tho preserva tion of order and peace." flPtieral Cardenas thinks that tho American government ought to recognize the In surgent nt my to the extent nt least ot employing the best of Its forces under American commanders as a mounted police and gnrtlson force--an opinion shared by ninny Americans well-informed concerning Cuban conditions but ho disbelieves In trying to force recognition of nn Insurgent govern ment. "Whnt we ought to do now." snys he, "Is to wait until the United Stntes does Its duty. If we nre disap pointed, then let Ood tell us our way." With the active en-operation of all order-loving elements among the In habitants of Cuba there will not be disappointment of the hope thnt Ameri can occupation for pacification will ef fect its ends. Wo have gone there to fulfil our pledges and we shall stay there until we do. What could a new man do at llarrls hurg for the West Side Hospital? A vote for the re-election of Representa tive John It. Farr means a vote to give Hyde Park continued standing and In lltlenee nt the state capital. The Fnshodn Incident. The Immedl'ite merits of the row which Franco nnd Knglnml nre having over Marclnnd's occupation of Fas iioda die a little obscure to the aver age onlooker. Tho fact seems to b" that England, at the suzerain of Kgypt. claims control of tho Nlles from lake to d"ltri to be essential to her policy of Kgyptlan Improvement, whll.1 Franco holdi the head waters of that stnnm to bj open country, subject to uqimtter sov.relgnty and hence has pre-empted n templing claim. This issue In Itself Is hardly of sufH clent Import. nice to Justify threats of resorting to war: but, taken in connec tion with other notorious efforts of .leilotis continental powers to crowd English colonizing enterprise not only out of the new fields but also out of old ones, It probably Impresses the peo ple or Great Iirltain ns being a. good sturtlng point for a. discontinuance of the turii-the-other-cheek pollev and the substitution of nn ultimatum or two. II Is clear to most persons that L'nglnnd will sooner or later have t) light la self -protection against the al lied forces which menace her and the opinion Is not Inconsiderable that tho sooner the gage of battle Is thrown down, the better will he England's chunces of winning her point. it Is probable that the French gov ernment Is playing the Fashoda inci dent ns an olfset to the Dreyfus agita tion, very much ns the Spanish dynas ty thought to play a war with the United States as a foil to tho revolu tionary spirit nt home. Spain found the attempt somewhat costly and France will do well to profit by her exnmple. France cannot confront England In war alone, and Ilussla can not aid her without Incurring the risk of having to face Germany as Britain's nlly. Therefore It ir unlikely that the matter will eventuate In blows. Thor will be ii period of public bluffing, coverliifj secret negotiation! and France will pull Marchand off. getting some nominal concession elsewhere as a balm to her wounded "honor." In one of Mr. AVanamaker's latest speeches there was a long argument for equalization oi' taxation coupled 'lth the insinuation that Colonel stone was opposed to such a policy. AVhen at Corry last week the Hcpuhllcan nominee for governor took note of this attack In this wise: "I nm as profoundly interested In the equalized and proper taxation of all subjects of taxation as nny other man. If Mr. War.amaler will come to Harrlsburg after 1 have been elected governor, I will bo very glad to patiently consider any proposition looking to n mon omial regulation of taxes. If he will begin by proposing to tax the great 'merchants of the slate whoso sales aiv noro than Sl.000,000 annually so that they shall pay a proportionate mer cantile tax with all the little merchants who are in competition with them, I will think he Is sincere." It Is now up to Mr. Wnnamakur to say something more on this subject. Bays the esteemed Philadelphia Press: "The Iron and steel mills are reported to be ns busy now as ever be fore in the history of the country. That is due to McKinley prosperity. Do the workmen want another change, tuch as they got in 1SD2? If not, vote ngalnst cheap money and the Democratic can didates for congress." Tho ndvlce is good, as far as it goes: but It the work Ingmen of Pennsylvania want to show their nppreclutlon of the benellts of Republican administration ns exempli fied on every hand In increasing pros perity they had better not stop nt the nominees for congress but vote the whole Republican ticket straight. It Is said that William Jennings Hrynn and George Fred Williams have paid "Coln"Harvey's campaign as sessment for the sliver movement of 1900. Tho rank and Mo of the party seem Inclined to wait a year or two, evidently fearing a slump In tho silver brick market. While our rural neighbors have been gathorlng tho second crop of strawber ries this season the meteorological recordB or St. Louis have been broken hy a snow storm. This terrestrial sphere Ib evidently becoming twisted. John Scheuer. Jr., Republican candi date for the legislature In the Second district, has proved In other positions thnt tho peoplo can trust him. He will make an admirable representative. According to all accounts Spain's pol Icy or delay Is working. The Philippine Insurgents, tortured by the lack of sup plies und the suspense that seems liable to continue Indefinitely, aro becoming restless and suspicious of their Ameri can friends, ami the wily Spanish mis chief makers In Cuba havo succeeded In urraylng a number of Cuban insur gents against this government. While the peace commission is haggling over term? at Paris nil kinds ot trouble for the United States can be hatched If stilllclent time Is nllowed. Dr. Swallow claimed nt Johnstown the other nlzht that he would receive BJfl.OOO voles at the coming election. It Is pleasing to see thnt the doctor Is careful about the figures. Almost nny other speaker would have been Inclined to make It even 600,000. The knowledge of parliamentary ways acquired nt Hnrrlsburg last session by Representative John F. Rey nolds, of the Fourth district, puts him In shape to take hold next session and do good work from thu very beginning. Tho vote of the strongly Republican Thlul legislative district should not bo enst nt Harrlsburg next winter for a Democrat for United States senator. Hobson, It Is said, now wants to raise the Vlzcnyn. In either lowering or raising boats ho Is evidently determin ed to brook no rivals. The New York canal reformers are in a fair way to cause a Jam on the tow path. We'r? Not Buying Mtich From Abroad. A marked reduction in the foreign purchases of the peoplo of the United .Slates in the year IMS compared with those of preceding years is illustrated by tho figures of the llrltlsh "AccountH of Trade and Navigation of the United Kingdom," covering nine months of the calendar year 1S9S, which has Just reachou the treasury buieau of statis tics. This olhcial publication showing the exports or the United Kingdom to various parts of tho world compares the exports of the nine months ending September 30, 1S9S, with those or the corresponding periods or JSOT and 1S96, and where these nre stated by coun tries an opportunity is given to com pare British exports to the United States in lS'lS with those or preceding yenrs, and nt the same time determine what other leading countries nre do ing In the matter of Increasing or de creasing their Imports.

Woolen yarn fell from 73,600 pounds In 1896 to 50,800 iiv 1897, and 0,200 pounds in 1S9S, while tho total exports of woolen yurns menn tlmo were practically unchanged, be ing 726,000 pounds in 189S against 761,900 pounds In 1S96.
