The null of tlio proclamation of the
American Kvncuatlon commission to
the people of Culia Is embodied In the
last clnubo: "Althouch it is not to be
expected from the culture of this city
Hint any one will disturb order or the
qrnvlty of the delivery of the Island, If
liny one dliould so disturb It ho shall
be Immediately suppressed by public
force and the Ameilenn authorities will
punish the guilty with severity." Here
Is the hand of steel In the velvet stove!
Why Not?
Journals opposed to Senator Quay
aie greatly pertuibed over u report,
seemingly having good authority be
hind It, that tho man from Heaver in
tends to assure thoo members of the
leglslaluie who, though naturally
friendly to him, do not want to enter
a caucus and vote for him while nn
Indictment Is li.mglnM ovei his head,
by wilting out his reslgn.itlon and
plating It In the possession of a rtlsln
lercstpd pel sun with wtltten Instruc
tions that it shall be sent to the gov
ernor the day that Quay Is convicted
on the lioKlon-lhuhum charges, pro
lded that In the event of acquittal it
Is to be de.stroed. The anti-Qlluyltes
speak of tills, as another Quay tilek,
but what Is tlieie tmlty about II" '.s It
noi fair
Bear in mind that the senator inel
his ft lends legtiul these charges as
simply putt of a eaiefully planned
conspiracy to poison leglslatois nganst
him. They contend that the eireu n
stances of the ptos-ectitlon fiom stu-t
to finish show a political Intent lather
than a desire to promote Impartially
the Intel estH of Justice. They consider
that the inrounatlon upon which Quay
was indicted could have been presented
to the giand uty months befoie lull
there been no put pose to play to the
j'alleilea during an embitteied politic
al campaign; that to let this matter
while It Is undecided Intel fere with
his le-electlon would render any can
didate for ofllce liable to similar de
stitution on cooked-up litigation de
signed to last only until after election.
This being their lew, why should
they tamely submit'.' What man with
a spark of spunk would sit still and
let a conspltnty of his political en
emies tilumph over him for want of
an opportunity to meet them in an open
i ouit free from set lips against htm 7
We ate not in Senator Quay's con
fidence In this matter and do not know
what Ills plans arc, but It stilkes us
that the suggested conditional leslgna
tion would be a talr and manly act,
consistent with his professions of Inno
cence and satlsfactoty to all open
minded obseneis of this extraordinary
political spectacle. It would enable leg
islative friends to ote for him with
a clear conscience, upon the principle
that eveiy man, even a senator of thd
Tutted States, Is entitled to be consid
ered Innocent until pioved guilty; anil
It would further challenge his assail
ants to cairy their prosecution to a
ileteimlnntlon In the sight of all men,
leaving no political sacrifices along tho
way.
With Asutnaldo and the Spanish
f liars on hl hands, it would seem that
Admiral Dewey had trouble enough
without beiiiff placed In change of Ilob-
8011.
Judge Day.
The example which Judge Daj sets In
putting awuv political ambition after u
brief but hiilllnnt public career is In
tefieshlng contract to the rule In such
c ase.s and does more than anything else
to stump him as u man of the highest
tpe. He could lie governor of Ohio by
meiely saying the word, but he prefers
to tesume his simple home life among
his old-time neighbors and fi lends, and
to icnew In a modesH way the practice
of his chosen profession. He has con
nected his noiuo honorably with one of
ihe most notable series of events In
Aineilcan history and this satisfies hi3
desiio or political renown.
It is-i said that at the flist opportunity
the president will appoint Judge Day
to a position on the federal bench. Such
an appointment would be In the line of
hi natural inclination and It would lie
a token iif roivaitl which the public
would heuitlly sanction. The "simple
country luwyei" who left his law books
in a small Ohio town to conduct the
Intricate affairs of the state depart
ment during one of the most critical
periods in our history and who later
headed the commission which negoti
ated the most significant peace tUneo
tho overthiow ot Napoleon, doing his
duty without fuss or eiror at every
stage of tho proceedings and virtually
lovolutlontzlng the fashions of diplo
macy by his quiet candor and direct
ness, would be a good man to have on
u bench charged with the adjudication
of weighty problems.
Ills presence thero would be a guar
antee of fair and fearless petformanee
of every duty connected with that high
office.
Tho franchise fiends no doubt are
willing to auieo that colonial govern
ment In Cuba Is a failure.
A Wiso Determination.
A journalist filcndly to General Miles
isserts that the tatter will not again
titer Into any public controversy over
'nulty detullH In the management of
the war, but Is collecting in definite
form a number of Important facts
showing mismanagement, and when ho
has got tils evidence In suitable shnpo
lie will place It in tho hands ot ttv.
president, for Buch net Inn as the lat
ter shall deem proper. This applies es
pecially tn tho matters concerntntf
which Commissary General Kagan Is
'xorclsed, namely, tho Insufficiency ami
alleged abominable quality of some of
tho food Btipplled to tho army.
Wo trust that the newspaper writer
who makes tills asset t Ion does so ad
visedly, Qetieral Milt stands higher
today than ever beforo In the estima
tion of tho public, but his fitnndlng
would mifTer from a further washing
of dirty military linen In tho public
piess. If ho Ins tangible evidence of
negligence or crookedness nt hridnuar
leis the thins to do with It Is to take
It to the cominanderMn-chlel. Wil
liam McKlnley will not shield a crim
inal In nny ptncp under his command.
General Miles can rest assured of that.
If he does not possess evidence In sup
port of his criticisms, It will bo wise to
get hold of some before saying much In
public.
If Wevler Is allowed nn opportunity
he will doubtless with alacrity place
the last nail In the Spanish national
coffin.
Inconsistent.
If folonel Roosevelt shall finally ap
point some broken-down political hack
to the position of stale superintendent
ot public, works, the most Important
and difficult position within his be
stowal, thu fault will not be his. For
a month he has been bringing every
Influence at his command to bear upon
a number of eminent, non-partisan cit
izens to induce one of them to accept
this rati trv dutv and at last reports
alt had declined with thanks.

habitually bewail the decadence of
American politics as Illustrated by the
frequency with which unfit men get
Into public ofllce and exercise in ihem
the ethics of the highwayman, but
when a summons comes to them to do
disagreeable duty for the benefit of i
the state, they pleau a thousand ex
cuses, allege they are in no condition
to neglect their private business Inter
ests, nnd then lay back and roast the
life out of the place-hunter who Is the
last choice of the appointing power.
It is the same In local affults. Many
who aie the llrst to howl nt "bosstsm"
in politics and to benove every JU
word that is said against tho workeis
In public life are tne last to be willing
to Incur any personal sacrifice In tho
task of bilnging about a better order
of things. Their devotion to reform
begins unci ends in the avidity with
which they pass censure on others and
avoid any public responsibility them
selves. It Is a queer world.
Tlio governor-elect of ICnnsas does
not believe In capital punishment and
therefote will not sign any death-warrant
during his term of offlco. The governor-elect
of Kansas would set a bet
ter example If he would cairy out the
spirit of existing laws until he can pre
vail upon the legislature to make
changes to his liking.
The Consent of tho Governed.
The Philadelphia Record has not been
inclined to view with favor tho propo
sition called expansion In the terri
torial sense, yet it is fair enough to
note the fallacy in ono of the favor
ite niguments of those who oppose this
policy namely, that government of im
infetlot' race without their invitation
or consent Involves a stultification of
the Declaration of Independence.
"No government," it points out, "ex
ists anywhere In the world by the con
sent of all of tlio governed. Thieve
nnd anarchists do not assent to tho
rules of conduct prescribed in orclei"
to protect pioprietors in their rights.
There nrc monarchists in republican
Franco anil republicans In every Eu
lopcun monarchy, while in some ot
our states the franchise Is limited by
an educational or othr qualification,
and those who aio disqualified have no
voice in the selection of their rulers.
Inasmuch as our practical ideals are
subjected to the test of expediency
even in the commonwealths of our
Union, It would not bo running counter
to our practices to apply the same test
to tho governments to be established.
in tho island dependencies of th
United States." It adds: "That the
mass ot the inhabitants of the Antilles
and the Philippines aie no better quail
lied lor complete self-government than
wero the people of New Orleans at
the time ot the Louisiana purchase
may be true, and theie may bo as good
reasons for limiting control of their
own affairs by the former as there were
for taking the administration ot the
first foielgn territory ceded to the
United States temporarily out of the
hands of the dwellers therein. It might
be possible to reconcile- our Institutions
with the policy of expansion by estab
lishing autonomic commonwealths in
the Islands, by assisting the islanders
to learn tho ort of self-government and
by piotecting them from foreign ag
gression; but not bv i oaring up an
empiie over subject races and degrad
ing them through tho deprivation of all
political initiative."
Of course this "might be possible";
in fact, this is precisely what will
be done. No sane man seriously con
templates withholding from the native
inhabitants of tho new dependencies
"all political initiative." They nie to
have as much "tnltlitlvo" as they can
use Intelligently ami for tho general
good; but not enough to sacilfice eith
er their own welfare or that of civili
zation. Their fate Is to he in their

Tho plantlns of tho American lias
upon a pile of uninhabited rocks nnet
guano In the Pacific, known ns Wake
Island, has caused the Pittsburg Dis
patch to emit its usual antl-tmperlallst
growl a&alnst the administration. Ac
cording to the Dispatch, giecdy Uncle

would be hastened.
Nobody can complain at the sentence

NEWS AND COMMENT
In spcakliitr of the Information willed
enmo to tho peace commissioners at l'arls
whllo they were considering the Philip
pine problem Senator Viye Informs tho
Washington Star! "Vou can hardly con
echo anything more outrageous and ho"
ilblo than has been the Spanish govern
ment of tho Philippines. The evlden-o
furnished us tit cruelty ami brutality, dis
closed a situation far moro shocking than
anything wo have heard of the Spanish
treatment In Cuba. The practices of tho
lmtuisltlun weiu In voguo. Colonel Whit
tier showed us a number of statuettes,
nuulo by a Filipino, who was a Spanish
prisoner, lllustiatlnt; tho modes of tor
ture inflicted upon prisoners by tho Span
l5h religious orders not b the locil
pi tests, who are kindly illiposeel toward
the people, not by the Jesuits, who aro
engaged In educational work and arc do
ing great good, but by the religious or
ders from outside. Tho licentiousness,
greed and the shocking cruelty practiced
by these pecplo upon the Inhabitants of
tin Philippines Is too horrible for con
templation. Ono of tho statuettes rcpre
pented a man with a ring through his
nose attached to a rope running througli
a pulley to tho celling, and a friar lift
ing him oft his feet by tho nose and then
letting him down to make him confess
that ho was a Mason. Another was a
man with his ankles In stocks, and a. trlar
inflicting upon him the bastinado to mako
him confess he belonged to a secret so
ciety. Photogranhs were shown us of
the shooting of hundreds of natlvei i there
bv tho Spanish soldiers, the prisoners
i bound and lined up along the street,
the soldiers facing them, and It was mado
a grand fete and holiday. Tho pictures
' showed tho crowds assembled, and tho
I men lined up Just before they were shot;
another showed them falling, after tho
order had been given to Are, and they
I wero photographed Ivlng dead on tho

tho Spanish tulo equal to any of the hor
rors of the inquisition. Surelv, Scnstor
Hoar will not nor will any other intelli
gent man advocate our turning these peo
plo back to tho mercy of the Spanish gov
ernment." An Ameilenn soldier contributes to tho
paper ot that name published at Manila
by tlio Klghl army corps this interesting
account of a visit to Agulnaldo at Ma
lolos. "Aly mind was somewhat con
fused when 1 entered tho presenco of
Agulnaldo. I had expected to find an
arrogant, egostlstlcal man, dressed in the
height of military gorgeousness. Instead,
1 found a slightly palo and somewhat in
tellectual personage dressed with a plain
ness that approached severity, sitting at
a cano table, which was littered with
writing material. My entrance was
scarcely noticed. Only Don Felipe, tho
minister of war, favored me with a bow
and smllo of recognition. For a. half
hour 1 stood, hat In hand beforo tho In
surgent chief, awaiting his pleasure. Tho
sllenco about tho chamber was tntense.
and was only broken by tho annoying
scratching of the president's pen and tho
creaking ot tlia cane floor as some uneasy
member ot tho retinue shifted his posit
ion. At last, with due deliberation, Aguln
aldo laid aside his manuscript, and glanc
ing up to me, said to Don Felipe, 'Who is
this man and what is his CTiiness?" Tho
minister explained the purpose of my
visit, nnd it seemed to amuse tho insur
gent chief greatlv. 'This is the first time
I havo ever been Interviewed,' he said,
'and I hardly know how to act. You wish
to publish In your neper what I havo to
say. Am I net right?' Replying to my
questions, Agulna'do said: 'My troops aro
in tho very best of condition; well clothed,
well fed, well paid. Most of them havo
been supplied with new Mauser rifles,
which I purchased from a representative
of a London houso in Hong Kong. The
new recruits from the Interior are learning
to bo good soldiers, nnd aro giadually dls
caidlng tho machete as their chief
weapon, finding tho rlflo far moro effect
ive. With a view to disaster I havo
caused to bo concealed among tho moun
tains of tho interior, munitions of war:
enough to equip an army of 19,000 men.
Should my army bo destroyed, I could re
tire to these mountains safo from pursuit,
recruit n new army from tho friendly
tribes, which In ono ear's time would
be ready to assume the offensive in the
Held."
The death of Geneial Garcia recalls
boiuo Interesting stories of him narrated
by Captain Faneet, ono of his former
HtafC iitllcen. "General Garcia never en-
tlioly recovered lrom tho wounds Inflicted
by himself when captured by tho Span
lards over twenty years ago," bald tho
captain, to tho Now Orleans Times-Democrat.
"Ho put his pistol under his chin
and attempted to blow out his bialns, but
tho weapon was stiff on the trigger, ana
in pulling It oft the bairel was natur
ally thrown forward a ttille, and tho ball
ploughed up right behind his nose, coming
out of his forehead between tho brown.
This terrlblo wound left him somo strange
souvenirs. At limes, suddenly, without
warning, ho would find himself unable to
ai tlculate. This always seemed to puzzle
him, and he would glance around witn
nn expression ot surprise, which we would
pietend not to notice, so ns to spare his
feillngs Usually the fit only lasted lor
a moment, anil ins mental process cer
tainly never suffered any Interruption.
Again, especially on hot days, his eye
sight would become curiously affected. As
lie himself described It, the landscape
seemed to iun like water,' and he would
bo unablo to keep his feet. I remember
on ono occasion, during a consultation, he
sprang up suddenly, crying 'The earth
quake" in Spanish. Then ho smiled nnd
tapped his foiehead. 'It Is only my tojt
lsh eyes,' ho said. Ho suffered a great
deal, et ho was never cross or Irritable
He was tho most uniformly courteous
nnd kindly man I ever met, and had none
of tho ferocious flashes of temper that
characterize Gomez. In tasto ne was do
r Iderily bookish, and always carried a few
old volumes In his saddlebags. One was
Caesar's Commentaries In Latin."
An examlnfitlon made bv W. 11. Curtis
of. the senate poition of tho Concession

nf the present conjiess, which has Just

S'j J.1) Inches or about 3,000 feet of printed
debate In columns threo and one-half
Inches wldo set lu minion type. At thl3
rate each of tho clghty-nlne senators was
entitled to about 400 inches but six of the
senators occupied nearly ono-ftftli of the
entire spaco, leaving four-fifths lor
elshty-thrco of their colleagues, Senator
Allen, at Nebraska, la the chair plon long
dlstauco tnlknr of tho United States sen
ato and occupied over 5's per ceat of tho
entire time of that body duilntr ho last

Senator I'ettlgiew occupied l.d'j" inches,
being the second In verbosity. Snn.ltor
Teller was third Ho occupied 1,321 fnihes,
and Senator Rutler '.WO Inches. Theso fcur
Populists thus consumed neaily C,0"0
Inches of space, out of a total of ;,.i00, or
ono-Hlxth of the whole. Senator Morgan
has had tho teputatlon of being tho most
Inteirmlnablo talker In tho senate but It
will thus be teen that lib tins suftWcrt
gieul Injustice. Allen, Pcttljrrew and
Teller surpass htm In both volumo nnd
loquacity. His inches numbered 1,1'J,
that is, only about 100 fcot In solid min
ion type threo and one-half inches wielo,
nut he still continues to lead tho Demo
crats. Senator Chandler, of New I lamp
fhlre, Is tho "talky-talky" man on tho
Republican sldo. His wtt and wisdom
cover un area of SI3 llneor or 2.9SS square
Inches, which would make a large book.
Prothonotary Wostbrook, of I'tko coun
ty, who has been for thirty-five yenrs in a
position to know, Is worried over the do
crease In marriages lu that county. In a
leccnt Interview ho stated that ho hail
been In ofllce continuously since US5 when
the manlago license law went Into effect,
nnd had Issued tho 333 licenses grnnted In
a trlflo over thirteen years. Tho first
year only eight licenses wero tuken out,
which number wero gradually Increased
until ISM, when tho high-water mark was
reached, thirty-six licenses being issued.
Tho decllnn has been a marked ono since
then, nnd this year only twenty-six woru
registered. Ho furnished the following
Interesting statistics in this connection:
Licenses granted In lSSJ. 8, ISM), 13; 18,

li&S, 2C. The majority of tho last numbo
wero granted during tho first six months
of tho present year. The venerable pro
thonotary can In no wlso definitely ac
count for the falling oft In marriages,
but advances several opinions, chief
among which Is tho "hard times." Tho
ministers ot Mllford do net average a.
half dozen w editings a year, and are ulso
at a loss to comprehend tho whys and
wherefores.
In tlio year 17M almost a century ago,
It wilt bo noticed S9 per cent, of tho total

Tho December trial list In Lackawahna
county had on It three hundred nnd thlr-ty-thrco
cases for trial, thrco of which
wero for murder. In tho same month
Forest county had not one. "Lacka

qulrer. "Is a much bigger county than
Forest, but if Lackawanna had the same
proportion of native citizens as forest
it would bo safo to say that the criminal

FIGHT. They said tho bulls wero wondrous breed,

And wo held them penned in harbar

Behind tho bars they stamped and raged

Till we hoped wild spoit of plunge and

But we knew your day was Sunday, and
wo watched your hot black breath
Curl behind our blue church-pennant

goading them rear and foie.

Then wo waved our scarves of scarlet

But up the far ring-barriers reeled tho
frightened beasts In flight.
Close to tho torn black flanks wo hung,
scorning tho sidelong blow
Of lunging head one! wild-aimed horn
till wo turned them to tho stand;
Then wo held our strokes in pity of tho
great beasts' sinking knees,
When the cspada. of tho thlrteen-lnch

From crushing sunny helpless tlelns to

And It may bo two of tho wounded bulls

That shall stand guard 'neath tho eyries
