The Times la nsRUied that Tliu Trib
une Is fully as willing us It Is to lot
the court rmes on tin- a")hnlt rppulr
question. Our only object is to cot the
ttsphnlt rejinlioil and have It kept In
ropnlr ut tho lowest available llmue.
Too niiich tlllly tlullyliiE has all but de
stroyed the streets of Hcrunton.
The Persona Equation.
In oleetlntr a nominee for irayor th
nonubllouns of Scriintnn will do well
to bear in mind that the chief execu
tive of a idty of 1 10.000 inhabitants,
who In addition lo iierfotmlnf? the im
mediate work of his own olllee, is also
lrtually the head of the lire, police
and l-ltdnwiy departments, should lo
no smPlI olii'lril tinned to eonimanil.
The city has grown since the' police
force comprireil a mere bar.dful of
men and the firemen a b.ikei's dozen.
These servants of the people now ac-rrftfat'-
a "mull urn y, who need abovo
all thintrs else a c:pal)le directing head
This need was never mure appaient
tlian at the present time.
Kault Is sometimes found villi the
work done by the polite. The public
sets things ' crltlilz" but It does not
always keep iiifoinit'tl as ti the reasons
why. The Individual material In the
present police force Is piolnbly as
p)od, take It on a fair average, as In
any city In the country. With few ex
t options the men ate vigorous, brave
and dextrous of dolus tlietr duty. IJut
when In the dotnp of this duty they
are not consistently and tlrnily stip
poricd by the- executive authority,
when the surest ol sow malefactor
baiiinnliiK to liav- a friend at court
is as likely to tulnix censuie as ap
proval; when In a larso pereentaao
of tases the policeman rather than the
prisoner is r 'garden as the proper sub
3'ct for ma.isterlal investigation, dls
liearteiinieiH and disorganization in
evitably follow. Tills Is a frailty of
human nature.
A story Is told of tin Incident happen
ing roon afttr the enactment of the
bicycle ordinance which illustrates this
point. The police were Instructed to
enforce the ordinance tboioughly. One
ofl'cer took tils Instructions literally,
went after a scorelur who, It is claim
ed, had refused to observe the law,
got into a tustle with him in the course
of which the culprit's wheel was
(mashed, and had the final consolation
of seeing his prisoner discharged with
out a reprimand, and of having soon
afterward to defend himself in a suit
for damages. 11 Is not necessuiy to
ndd tlipt incidents of this nature do not
make for ellkiencj In police discipline
or for 7eal in the apprehension of pub
lic offend ere.
A man may be ever so honest in In
tent and ever so well versed In tliu the
ories of municipal government, yet It
he have not the knack of handling sub
ordinates so as to retain their con
lidfnce, respect and zealous loyalty, he
will be a failure as the mavor of this
big cltv. The head of the executive
department 'iuiut ftantl by the men
undei him until stilllclent reasons ap
pear for a contrary course. He must
id' an organizer, not a dlsorganlzer; lie
must know how to get the best re
snlt-i out of existing conditions. This
personal 'iiiulity is something entirely
apart from any question of party pol
itic or public pulley. It l wholly a
li'itter of Individuality. Republicans
who wish to inline for maym a man
whose election would bring quick bet
terment In the esprit du corps of the
p dice. Hie ami sti'et commissioner's
departments, as we II as lift the whole
city government higher In public re
pute, should consider the; personality
of tic candidate not less closely than
pl tlges of policy. I'oi after nil it Is
the man, rather than the parly label
or platform, that counts.

"On Iiecemher 1." sayp Senor Monlero
Klos, president of the Spanish Peace
titnnilbslon, in a faiewell statement to
the Paris correspondent of the Indon
Times, doubtless Intended to influence
Kuropean sympathy, "I proposed to the
American' to appoint a technical coin
l.iisslon to examine the question of tho
Maine. We said America will appoint
mi American, an Kngllshman and a
Frenchman, and we will appoint a
;panhird.nn iKngllshman antl a French
man, all specialists, and that the com
mission, or the two governments, ap
point a German, and that these seven
men bring In a verdict. If they declare
Spain innocent, the president of the
t'nltcd States will address u message
to tint senate declaring Spanish honor
Intact and that Spain was falsely ac
t used of having betrayed the laws of
hospitality by blowing up a vessel at
anchor In one of her poitn. If Spain is
declared guilty, a Spanish ship will go
to America, salute the t'nltod States
flag and Spain will pay the coats. This
is tho proposal wo made on December
1. It could lie and must have been tele
graphed, for it could be put into two
hundred words. On December 5, In hi?
message to concret's, the president made
no allusion to our proposal, but de
scribed the blowing up of the Mulne
as a suspicious event. On Dccembar fl
the American comtnlssloneis declared
they refused to diucusy this question.
This la what especially Irritates us. We
huve great defects, hot tempers and
cruelties even, hut our nutlonal honor
Is dear to us. Vet at that honor the
Americans wished to deal the rudest
blow."
Assuming that Senor Itlos Is an hon
est man, and general report gives him
this repututlon, representing him as be
longing to the class of liberal-minded
Spaniards of whom Admiral Cervera la
a well-known type, there are some
thing which ho falls to consider. One
of these Is that tho American govern
ment has never charged against Spain
more than the facts In the case of the
Maine Justify and sustain. The fnctn
nto that the ship went Into a professed
ly friendly harbor, was assigned to a
designated buoy, observed while there
all the proprieties of a friendly visit,
and was dewtroyed by an explosion
which on American court of Inquiry,
after due Investigation, pronounced of
external origin. It was never said that
Spain nfllctally connived at this ex
plosion; It was never said even that
any Spaniard fired the torpedo or mine.
Thero were unavoidable suspicions but
no accusations for the sufllclent reasvm
that there was no evidence. The point
was ample that Spanish sovereignty In
Culm wan Inadequate to prevent such
an outrage upon International hospi
tality. No mixed commission of neutrals
could declare Spain Innocent of Insuf
ficient care and precaution without
convicting the American naval court
of Inquiry of making a fabv return.
Could the government of the t'nltod
Stotes, In the light of Its prior experi
ences with Spanish Insincerity and
evasive dealing, reasonably be expected
to dlbciedlt Its own agents by consent
ing to n re-opening of the case in the
absence of any claim of new evidence?
The world has .9en since tho blowing
up of the .Maine what kind of men
command the American navy. It has
seen their generous treatment of Cer
vera and his men: it has seen Dewey
stop his tiling on the vanquished Mon
tljo to establish a hospital for the care
of the Spanish wounded. It can draw
ItM own conclusions as to whether or
no such men were to be trusted to re
port truthfully upon the cause of the
Maine's destruction. There Is no gov
ernment on earth which would, under
similar circumstances, have accepted
the offei which the American peace
commission on December C, ut Paris.
declined to discuss".
It Is reported that Senator Piatt Is
hevlng trouble with his temperature
in consequence of Colonel ltoosevelt'H
independence. Roosevelt will bo a bad
man to auurrel with.
A Political Opportunity.
The fact that by united action the
representatives of Northeastern Penn
sylvania at Harrlsburg can secure for
their section the Important honor of the
speakership of tliu state house of repre
sentatives, with all that it implies in
the way of fair treatment for local in
terests, makes timely the suggestion
that steps be taken to secure such con
cert of action in favor of the candidacy
of Hon. John It. Fair, which alroidy
seems to have attracted the influential
favor of a number of the promlnjnt
party leaders.
It Is evident thut If the neU legisla
ture is going to escape the errors and
the popular condemnation of the last
one, there will need to be an organisa
tion of the house, not in the interest
of a particular faction for a temporary
political purpose, but In the Interest of
economical and expeditious transact! an
of the public business. The declara
tion of Senator-elect Martin In favor
of Mr. Farr has called the attention of
the public to the peculiar merits of the
Lackawanna, candidate in such a wav
that Mr. Farr's election Is now gene
ally believed to bo assured. That
being true, it will be manifestly appro
pi late for his colleagues in this vicin
ity to take the lead in forwarding hl3
chunces.
As happy a remark as any made by
the iueslclent while in the south was
his tribute to Mother Hobson and Gen
eral Wheeler's daughter, the good angel
of Santiago. Such tributes count.
Tho Flag Is Up to Stay.
The speeches of the president during
his southern Journey hav done much
to clarify public opinion on the subject
of American tfuty In tho Philippines.
The position which he holds and that
which anti-expansionists profess to
hold differ only to the extent that he
Is nilnduful of acts while they are dom
inated by exaggerated apprehensions.
The difference Is simply the measure
ment of their misunderstanding of ac
tual conditions.
The facts are that Dewey and Mer
iltt, under the impulse of war and in
obedience of specific orders, so far de
stroyed all recognized form of sover
eignty in the Philippines that we have
become internationally responsible for
what happens there until a new and
stable sovereignty shall be created. We
went to Cuba deliberately; we wei'3
swept Into the Philippines by the utr
unt of the war; but In both places
out responsibilities and duties are iden
tical. We are to give Cuba pacifica
tion, reconstruction, stable government
which Is to be Independent If possible;
we must give the Filipinos no less a
chance.
In the meantime, shall wo do this
work for nothing? Certainly not. Tho
territory Is ours to administer until pa
cific reconstruction Is possible. We
shall collect and expend tho revenues,
Institute needed Internal Improvements
Implant the seeds of a better civilisa
tion and give encouragement and fair
aid to American commerce and enter
prise. X'nder these conditions Ameri
can development will progress hand
in hand with American opportunity
until In the fulness of time the Amer
ican Hug, symbolizing law nnd older
and an equal chance, will float over
our new dependencies, not temporarily
as a consequence of the vicissitudes of
war, but permnnentliy as a recognized
necessity of civilization.
On June 27 last, In an official report
to the secretary of the navy, elicited
by current rumors that entangling alli
ances had been formed between repre
sentatives of the United States and rep
resenlatlves of the Filipino Insurgents,
Admiral Dewey said; "The United
Statoi has not been bound In any way
to asslBt Insurgents by any act or
promises," and he added: "In my'opln
lon these people are fur superior In
their Intelligence and more capable of
Helf-governnient than the natives of
Cuba, and 1 am familiar with both
races." Dewey's testimony Is entitled
to weight.
During the eleven months of the cal
endar year llrltiWi export decreased
1 22 per cent, as compared with the
name period In 1897, while Amerlcnn ex
ports increased nearly 15 per cent. In
the month of November our exports
exceeded (Ireat Urltaln's by $3,G0O,OO0.
or more than 4 tier cent., which again
calls for the renuuk that this Is nu
American year.
The healthy optimism In the presi
dent's, speeches touching our new prob
lems Is good for American patriotism.
What can excell this as an antidote for
Mugwutnpery: "Wo are treading In an
unexplored Held, which will test our
wisdom and statesmanship. The chief
consideration Is one of duty; our act
ions must be controlled by it. No set
tlement Is admissible which will not
jircserve our honor and promote the
best Interests of all concerned. With
n united country and tho gathered wis
dom of all the people, seeking only the
right, Inspired only by high purposes,
moved only by duty nnd humanity, we
cannot err. We may be baflled or de
terred and often discouraged, but final
success in a cause which In altogether
unselfish and humanitarian can only bo
deferred, not prevented."
Germany is still friendly to America,
but the bibulous tourist from this side
who called Kmperor William a "sheep's
head" will be obliged to take his medi
cine in good old-fashioned doses. Thero
arc wine things that even International
friendship cannot excuse.
A commission to ascertain whether
there ever was such a person as Max
imo Gomez would not be out of order.
Carl Schurz' continued criticisms are
satisfactory evidence that President
MeKlnley Is on the right track.
NEWS AND COMMENT
General Mcitltt sas; "I found Ad
miral Dewey very much perturbed. He
had been walking the decks sieeplessly
night after nlsht. and was sorely har
assed by the difficulties of the situation.
Ills first question wus about the monitors,
the liresencu of which he considered all
Important. After they arrived he told me
thut his mind was at ease, and he felt
thut he could more than hold his own
airalnst any foice that might be brought
against him. Dewey Is u magnificent fel
low, self-contained and of never lulling
good judgment, and, 1 need hardly say,
Is simply adored by his officers and men.
When I left ho might have come away
with mu and gone on to Washington, but
lie preferred to stick to his post. The
Germans did not care to play with us.
Of course, you know I am simply a sol
dier and do not know very much about
the ways of naval officers, but Admiral
Dewey was very angry when the Germans
took no notice of my arrival. They did
not salute us, nor did Admiral von Dled
Mch call on me. Tho Iirltlsh ofllcers called,
however, and so did tho Japanese, i
did not mind It much, because. 1 wus very
busy, but Admiral Dewey said It was an
outrage and a grave breach of etiquette.
Ho said to mo that tho Germans had
worried him a great deal. When wo cap,
tureel the city of Manila the Germans did
not saluto our flag as II went up over the
Spanish fortifications. Their admiral left
in a hurry for Hong Kong to notify his
government of our movements. About
two weeks later one of ids captains called
on me. on have a. fine lot of soldiers
here.' ho said, 'but I see they are mostly
all Germans. 1 told him that they inlgat
have been Germans, but they were Amer
icans then. 'Jt takes us about live years
to mako a. cood American citizen of a
German and about three years to mako
a good soldier of him,' I added. I did
not return his call until tho day 1 started
for Paris. Then I was In a hurry an'd did
not stoy long."
General Miles is highly elated over tho
success of certain tests of the two new
guns and a new carriage, made a day or
two ago at Fort Hancock. "The Howell
disappearing gun enrriage," says he, "met
all tests successfully and wo were delight
ed with It. Itoth guns that wo tested
are of now design and have never been
used in warfare. Tho first was the Gat
Ung cast-steel, high-power gun. This
differs greatly from the wire-wound gun
or built up gun. We fired five shots in
all, ono with a ono-half charge, ono with
a three-quarters chargo and the other
thret) with full servico charges. All were
highly successful. Tho other gun was the
Sims-Dudley li-lnch dynamite gun. This
Is a very destructive gun. It throws a
projectile three miles. This was tho first
time it was oviv olllclally tested. We
threw threo of the projectiles along the,
beach to witness the elfects. They tore
up tho beach in u manner terrible to be
hold. Tho concussion was so great that
within a radius of 100 feet it would be
dangerous to life. There Is practically no
recoil to the gun, and it will be one of
the most deadly weapons ever used In
warfare."
Apropos of the contemplated return of
the American peace commissioners on
'"hrlstmas day the New York Sun appro,
priutel) says: "They como back trium
phant after a. victory as notable In its
way as Dewey's or Sampson's. They nave
not only got what they went for, but they
have also broken many ot tne cherished
traditions of conventional European di
plomacy. St mo of the tools heretofore)

From all the iron centers como reports
of a great boom In American iron. Dar
ing November the furnace capacity was
Increased, and tho coko and anthracite
plants at work are turning out more pig
Iron than they htue ever done before In
this or any other country. The SJj.KiS
gross tons ci pneity of American furnaces
on December 1 is a new woild's record.
Furnace stocks havo been further de
pleted, and outside of tho steel works pro
ducing their own Iron, there Is not enough
pig Iron to last three weeks. The furjuico
stocks sold and unsold, amounting to over
fOO.000 tons on July 1, have been gradually
cut down, nnd on December 1 the total
was less than K0.000 tons. This is UFually
a dull season in tho iron trade, but tho
mid-month market reports to the Iron
Age show heavy buying and a consequent
rise in prices. Everybody Is looking for
ward to a still greater boom In l&W, both
in tho domestic and foreign trades.
Tilings tiro not all askew hi Cuba. A
Havana dispatch to Iho Sun notes this
da wnlne sign of reconciliation: "General
Rafael de Cardenas enteied Guanabacoa
today with ino cuvalry and S00 Infantry.
He will occupy the town until the Ameri
cans take possctslon of It. Ten thou
fund persons welcomed tbo Cubans.
Twentv-two triumphal an lies had been
erected In tho streets, bearing inscriptions
In honor of the American government and
people. Tho American residents, especial
ly Mr. Hyatt and his family, who havo
lived In auanabacoa for many years, were
cheered, and a banquet was given In
honor of the Americans, Senor I,opez,
president of the Spanish club, presided.
Ho made a speech, in the course of which
he said that the Sn.nilsh residents wished
to unite with the Cubans la accepting the
new government of the United States.
HIb words were received with tho greatest
triiiiiusinsm oy ino reprcseiiiuuvu tu
buns present."
Somo curious pension fUmes arts noted.
For instance, Virginia, which did not fur
nlsh any soldiers to tho Union army, has
S.i'fl names now on tho pension roll, grow
ing out of alleged service In tho Union
army. Texas furnished 1,963 soldiers to
tho Union army and has 8,153 names now
on the pension rclls. Soith Carolina has
1,167 names on tho pension roll, though
It did not furnish a boldler to the Union
army. Mississippi furnished CI.') men and
now has 4.o:t! names en tho pcn&lon roll.
Georgia, whlchdld not furnish any soldiers
to the Union nrmv, has 4.000 names on the
pension roll, and Florida has 3,228 and
Arkansas has 10,r.."A This odd condition'
of nffalrs no doubt Is partly explained by
tho removals of Union veterans and their
families Into these stntes.
Tho international bkn;tlng races fol
Euroro will talo place as usual tills year

contest, which usually attracts to Its
lists representatives of all civilized na
tions, and spectators, too, from nil over
tho woild. In addition to the straight
away races there will also be a contest
for tho championship for artistic skating.

Varied aro tho experiences theso ladles
have who go about among the soldiers,
nnd strango aro the tales they hear, it
Is from Miss Florence Day, who has been
untiring la her devotion to tho Camp
Walworth work, that 1 have a remark
able story told her by a certain rough
rider, whoso name may as well go tin
mentioned. This man, it seems, hud been
deputy marshal of Cripple Creek, and lor
months beforo the war he had been hot on
tho trail of a noted desperado, wanted for
horse-stealing and for murder. More than
once tho marshal and his men had nearly
run tho outlaw to earth, only to lose him
at the last. Ami all tills made talk
throughout the region, so that bets wera
made freely on tho result, and the mar
frhal's prldo was finally so far aroused
that he vowed lie would never drop pur
suit until he had put a halter uiund tho
fellow's neck.
Then, suddenly, the war broke out, and
things of less moment were forgotten. A
captain of the rough riders, who knew the
marshal's unfUnchlug courage and his
skill as a horseman, wroto him an urgent
Invitation to Join his troop, and tho Invi
tation was promptly accepted.
So it came, a lew weeks later, that this
ex-cow boy, ex-miner and ex-hunter ot
criminals found himself at Tampa in
Uncle Sam's uniform. And ono or tho
first men ho met was tho desperado, so
long sought for In vain, only now ho was
in soldier's clothes, a lough rider, too,
with tho rest of them.
"Well," said tho hunted man, coolly, as
(heir eyes met, "you've got me at last."
"How do you mean I've got you?"
"Why, you have. You came for me,
didn't you? I lay down."
"I didn't come for ou." said the mar
shal. "I'm hero to lisht under Roose
velt, samo as you are. X don't know you,
except as u soldier."
The man stared nt him, doubtful.
"You mean youre not my enemy any
more?"
"No, sir; T haven't got any enemies now
but Spuniards."
"And you ain't goin' to give me up?"
"Not In a hundred years. There's my
hand on it. comrade."
And through the hard days that fol-
lowed thero were not two stauncher friends
In tho whole Island ot Cuba than theso
two whoso hatred for each other had
been pitiless. And after tho war, when
tho marshal lay ill nt Roosevelt hospital,
it was tho ex-outlaw who came to his be.l
eldo to cheer him. And later it was tho
marshal who used his influence with a
man of position to get honest work for
this strangely-found friend, whos-o gratl
tudo was as deep ns his resolve to lead a
better life was sincere. Cleveland Mof
