An Index of Trouble.
Thf binprlMng feat me of the Cuban
at-seinblV lntct aslnlnlly l the fact
that among the most rabid of the mis
liief-maUers are a number of bright
wiling Cuban leaders who huvo received
theli educations in the United State.
and who ll-eiefoie ought to know better
than to generate usplelon of this coun
try's honesty and sincerity. We have
one in particular in mind, General
Matlo Menoeal, a guduato of Cornell
and it brother of Engineer Menoeal, of
the United States riavv. This young
man has the reputation of being In
telligent, hononible and of exceptional
natural ability. He l.s now chief of
police of Hnvana, holding otllce under
leneral Hrookn Prior to talcing this
ofllce he wa second in command of the
insurgent fuicc In Havana province
mil wns one of the few who gave char
rif ter and hopefulness to the Insurrec
tion.
Menoeal hn':i pei'-onal gtievancp
against lining, but that supplies no
icabon why as an educated Cuban,
familiar with the American character,
he should be a party to any movement
attributing dishonest methods and pur
poses to the president of the United
wtutC3. Tiue, we have tome Ameileans
who nie mean enough to do S.I1K but
Menoeal ought to set them a good example-.
If he would consult his intel
lect Instead of bis temper he would
realize thru the promiscuous utterance
if suspicion1 that iJomez, Quesada and
I heir followers In 'uba have been sub
sidized by American bribes is a reflec
tion not only upon the alleged recip
ients, but als-o upon the givers of those
tiiibcs. en insult, in jmoit, to the Unit
id Staffs, which educated him, which
bus furnished asylum for his coiintiy
men while they were organizing to
iBljt Spain, which has taken the burden
1 f the insurre -tlmi upon its own sdiould-
rs, whipped Spain, fed the Cuban des
'ItutP anil done every conceivable act
f intcrtmtliiiuil good Samaritanm
that ingenuity could suggest as likely
to prove help! ul toward the island's ul
timate regeneration. Menoeal hah sense
nough to know these things and to
tppreclate them. If he will only give
he sense a hnnci. .lust now he is a
wctlm of his racial temperament.
This spasm will pass away and the
better participants in It will soon feel
mhnmed of themselves. They Invtul
ibly do. Yet they never take steps to
iiros-cnt a recurrence of the folly,
fliej ore children always. This fact
Illumines the immensity of our con
tract In Cub'i and re-emphasizes the
president's far sighted wisdom In ro
'tiaing to be hurried toward the recog
iltlon of an Independent Cuban repub
lic. Speaker Farr did not have to wait
long for his Indication.
Admiral Sampson.
The letter of .idmlral Sampson re
questing the president to renew the
promotions of tho Santiago sea cap
tains which failed of confirmation by
the senate owing to the feeling en
gendered over the case of Rear Admlr
al Schley H In excellent taste. Mr.
Sampson asks nothing for himself but
urges that justice be done to his ef
ficient colleagues and In this wish the
country cordially unites. Among tlm
men who have suffered because of the
Schley-Sainpson controversy are cnji-t-ilns
Xvans, Taylor and Clark and
Commodote Philip, not to speak of
Uobson, Victor Blue and a number of
officers of tho lower grades who per
formed conspicuous feats of gallantry.
These men had no part In the contro
versy affecting the status of their
superlois und tha deprivation of their
rewards Is a lamentablo triumph of
prejudice and passion over Justice.
With respect to Admiral Sampson
himself promotion Is clearly due no
matter what view be taken of the dif
ferences of opinion between him and
Schley. He was the commander-in-chief
of the North Atlantic fleet, which
during the war was tho largest assem
blages over made of vessels (lying the
American Hag. In this position he la
bored under a weight of responsibility
inch an has fallen upon few com
manders In naval history-and yot car
ried fb tfect through the crisis with
out a Flnglu Important or serious blun
der. His blockade of Cervern Is recog
nized by naval authorities an n triumph
of incessant vigilance, and effective
mastery of details. If he did not in
person connect himself with nny single
feat of splendid bravery calculated to
win thunderous applause ho did what
was far more exacting, wearing and
difficult; he displayed the slow, patient
but sure executive grasp of tho sit
uation which gave to the individual
captains and to Commodore Schley tho
opportunity to engaged and sink the
Spanish nrmor-rlads whom the block
ade Anally forced into action. Bravery
in battle Is more picturesque but ef
ficiency in plnnnlng Is none tho less
essential. Success requires the one
quality no more than tho other.
This we take to be the fair and Im
partial view of this- subject which wilt
eventually prevail In public opinion
after temporary distortions of vision
shall have disappeared. In saying this
we do not forget thnt we once fell
Into error ourselves In reference to
this subject. Whether the president
shall heed Admiral Sampson's request
for Immediate repetition of the lapsed
promotions or await the re-assemblage
of congress, Sunipson's letter helps to
clarify confused opinions nnd Is 11
manly nnd timely document.

Tho Death Penalty.
The N'ew Yoik state assembly sus
tained tho existing law of capital pun
ishment on Monday by a vote of 4"
to 78. A strong light has been put up
b the mlnoilty In behalf of abolish
ing the law and substituting life lin
pilsonment and also making the pen
alty for murder in the second degree
(thirty years' imprisonment. Among
the chief arguments In favor of the
change was that it la almost Impossible
to get n jury to convict and that a
multitude of murderers accordingly go
unpunished. If Jurors were not con
fronted with the instinctive horror of
biinging In a erdlct that will condemn
a man to death they would less fre
quently And the accused not guilty. If
a man has killed another under cir
cumstances aggravated enough to war
rant a veidlet of murder in the llrst
degree, no middle ground can be taken.
Either the man Is a murderer or he Is
not. Consequently if the juror- llnd
themselves confronted by the responsi
bility of deciding between life and
death they are apt to lean toward
mercy, no matter how firmly they pre
viously deflated themselves free from
all piejudlce against capital punish
ment. It is an easy tiling to be willing to
hang or electrocute tho abstract man.
The case Is different when he stands
with his white, ngonl?ed face befoie
his judges. His crime seems less, shock
ing and the memories of Its revolting
features, as brought out In the evidence,
seems to fade before the living pre
sence of the guilty one, whose very
hoiil tin inks from the dread of what
these twelve men may say. The ver
dict of "not guilty, but the defendant
must pay the costs'' is in Its absurdity
a true typo of a point of view to bo
noted in tho mind of the average man
In all cases, from petty misdemeanors
up to murder. Frequently If the
prisoner at tho bar were to be sen
tenced to death to take place twenty
or fifty years hence instead of next
week or next month It would lequlre
but a short time for the jurors to agree
on a verdict that would convict. Fail
ing, because of the law, to do this, the
only alternative Is acquittal, as he
could not be brought In only a little
guilty of murder.
However, in the recent battle at Al
bany on thlsquestion.lt Is doubtless well
understood that much of the intensity
of Intel est ban been awakened in the
matter because of the probability that
the next person to bo electrocuted will
be a woman and great efforts are being
made to save her. It Is a triumph of
justice that capital punishment is not
at present to bo set aside In New York
state if tho clemency Is to be wielded
for the benefit of the cruel, hard-hearted.
Inhuman Mr. Place, who murdered
her Innocent s-tep-dnughter after a long
and bitter peisecutlon of the child. If
the woman is finally adjudged sane, as
there seems little doubt that she Is, no
power of assembly or of the supieme
jurisdiction should be used to save her
bad life. At present, capital punish
ment, however horrible It may seem In
Its relentless finale, appears to fill a
want In this wicked world.
The French naval expel t who won

Tho Foundations of Self-Ilule.
ft mny surprise the American public
to be Informed that a bystom of edu
cation was In vogue In Cuba under
Spanish rule that compared well with
any of those now In use by English
speaking races. Tho provisions of tho
law are repotted to have been admir
able, the board of examiners appoint
ed by General Wood being authority
f'T this statement. Unfortunutely for
the Cubans, tho system was not car
ried out In any sense as Its schemes
provided. There was no enforcement
of the law, no devotion of funds to the
purpose, and with the dlstuibances
constantly nrlslng on the Island, with
Spanish teachers exclusively employed,
who were often dismissed for political
reasons, and with tho resources divert
ed to other purposes, the results weie
that no such thing as a free public
school, ns Americans understand the
term, could bo said to have ever ex
isted in Cuba. Tho report declares
that as far as known not a single
building nor a foot of land in Santiago
province Is owned by tho people for
school purposes, nnd not a single dollar
of enlowment for any educational In
stitutions. The board recommends that first of
all a census be taken of nil children of
a school ace. While the schools must
be temporarily supported by the gen
eral fund in the provincial trensury.
eventually a special tax should b
levied in each dUtrlct. Tho original
movement Is to be tho establishment
of kindergartens, elementary, munici
pal and superior primary schools. High
schools should not be established until
the primary organizations nro In good
order. A alngle university Is mentioned
as being sufficient for the Island und
schoolu for deaf mutes and other de
fectives with correctional institutions
should bo left to the general govern
ment of Cuba as to the duty of main
tenance. It Is proposed tf consider re
ligious Instruction of any nature as In
admissible. English Is to bo taught
nnd rompulsory attendance Is to be de
manded. Even with the public school us ex
isting here, In excellent working order
In Cubn, It will be more than one gen
eration before the restless Inhabitants
with their heritage of past conflicts,
privations and persecutions, cun rea
sonably be expected to become con
tented, Industrious and approximately
happy. A miracle has not been wrought
In Cuba by the change of guardianship,
but If there Is anything that will pro
duce the devoutly desired results It will
be the influence of the public schools
properly directed.
The New Jersey house of representa
tives has passed a bill to abolish the
store-order system which seems to be
In vogue In that state, and under which
few employes receive any cash. The
store-order system Is to all practical
purposes harmful to employer, employe
and merchant. Tho employer may thus
pay out less cash, but it necessitates
a mote Intricate system of bookkeep
ing, nnd Is In many respects expensive
in the end. The employer Is obliged
to buy nt certain stores where prices
may be higher than at others and often
feels humiliated by a. half tecognlzed
sense of obligation ns ho presents the
order. Frequently ho receives scant
couitesy from the dealeis, and almost
inevitably Is led Into needless extrav
agance by this method. Invariably ho
must compare to his own disadvant
age his position with that of the man
who Is unhampered In his purchases
by this limitation. To the storekeeper
while It may bring him trade, the sys
tem Is sooner or later proved to be one
of endless, trouble, In which wrangles
nnd over accounts nro the least part
when he takes Into consideration tho
advantages of a strictly cash basis.
Tho stote-order method of doing busi
ness should bo abandoned by popular
consent If not by law.
It Is not naughty to tell stories about
your age if you are a woman, but with
a soldier it is different. He must tell
tho truth on all subjects. A new Eng
land father wrote to the war depart
ment that his son In some unknown
cavalry company was only seven
teen years old and hnd evidently repre
sented himself as older. Investigations
were started nnd after some time tho
boy was located. His buttons were
cut from his uniform nnd he was dls-
, honorably discharged. Turned out from
his far western station he went forth
a tramp, and now his agonized father
is wishing that he had not Interfered.
The case Is one that involves an odif
feature of ethics and may be observed
from various standpoints The moral
ists will say that the boy suffers justly
for tho Ho which he told, but the aver
age person will feel that the Inexoi
able military code Is pretty hard In
this case and that wmle the father was
probably warranted in his efforts to
secure his soil's release, It might have
been ns well to have allowed time to
correct the matter of the lad's age,
even If the He were never punished in
this wot id.
Young women Fehool teachers seem
to be going tlnough a period of trial
In vailous portions of tho country.
Tho Long Ihland .girl who has been
the Innocent victim of the most obnox
ious notoriety because a seventeen-year-old
pupil insisted on falling in
love with her thereby starting a scan
dal In the village, has good reason to
regiot her choice of a vocation If not
her attractive personality. Another,
who dechues that the principal of her
building wished her temoved In order
to place a favorite of his own in her
stead, has good reason to bltteily re
sent the malicious persecution which
she has endured, and among the latest
cases chronicled is that of the New
! Haven teacher, against whom an en
I emy Instituted rumois reflecting on her
! character and resulting In a persecu
tion so intense that - -e poor girl has
gone Insane. The fact that a revul
sion of feeling has taken place and
that the diabolical falsity of the charge
Is made public will scarcely set this
affair right. It Is hard enough to be
over worked and under paid, as are the
Scranton teachers, without being the
victims of unprovoked malice.
Jerry Simpson has written a book
about the Devil assuming a possibil
ity that his Satanic majesty should
come to Kansas. While an opinion ha
been vaguely maintained In many cir
cles that Kansaa had xecelved period
ical visits from the Devil as well as
from grasshoppers, It may be Interest
ing to hear Jerry's personal views of
the matter. At any ra,to he promises
to tell what he knows about some of

Reed, nnd this Information should bo
entertaining.

Special to tho Scranton Tribune.
Susquehanna, March 14. Out in the
Smoky Hollow section of Great Bond
township a party of snow-bound trav
eling men were swapping yarns, the
other day, about animals. Said a well
known BInghnmton drummer: "Bill
Sullivan, of this township, has a hen
that has Just hatched out a queer
brood. She was forever sitting on
something, trying to hatch out door
knobs, horse shoes and the like, and
so Bill thought he'd cute her of the
habit. He had some tattlesnake eggs
that he found last summer nnd had put
away In cotton, Intending to hatch
them out in hot sand In June. He put
these eggs under the hen about three
weeks ugo, und In just fourteen days
tho crisis came. One morning theie
was an awful howdydo In the hen
house nnd Bill went out to Investigate.
You may not believe It, but there wns
that darned old hen hopping up and
down In a fearful state of mind, run
ning up to look Into hen nest, and then
running away again with wings out
stretched and cackling a demand for
an explanation. She flew at Bill as
thought she Intended to peck his eyes
out, but he beat her off and then took
a look In the nest.
"There were seven little lattlesnakes
about five Inches long, squirming about
In It. For one whole day that hen re
fused to return to the nest, but on the
next day she went back to It, and she
has evidently madp up her mind to
rear that brood and make the lwst of
It."
A PATRIOT'S NEGLECTED GRAVE.
In a neglected, unmarked grave at
Belmont, near Mount Pleasant, a short
distance fiom tho Jefferson branch of
the Erie railroad, rest the remains of
Samuel Meredith, the first treasurer Of
the United States. He was appointed
by Washington In 17S9, in the days of
Alexander Hamilton, and held the
ofllce until 1S01, resigning during the
administration of Thomas Jefferson.
Ho received the commendation of con
gress and President Jefferson. He
gave $20,000 to the starving soldiers at
Valley Forge. In 173(5 Meredith pur
chased seveinl thousand acres of land
In Wayne county. His object was to
cut tho timber from the tract, burn It
and manufacture therefrom potash and
pearl ash for commerce. The venture
failed to pay and was abandoned. Up
on resigning ns treasurer, Meredith re
moved with his family to Wayne
county and erected a house, which cost
$G,000. It was a mansion in those days.
The house was burned several years
ago. It was visited by Jefferson and
other statesmen. Meredith died In 1S17,
almost alone and forgotten. He left a
distinguished family, but none of them
have ever raised a slab to his memory.
Congress and tho leglslatmo of .Penn
sylvania have at different times been
asked to eicct a monument to tha
memory of this great man, but no defi
nite action has ever been taken.

Sided in Delaware county, New Yoil:
His mode of living Is not chan.rI fo

Stretching under tho arching skies.
Its foamlcss. bright, pellucid fiooi.
Most gone, the old primeval wood,
Where long ago the Indian trod;
Who, once tho while man's march with
stood, Lies now the -enfolding peace ot God.
Away from the lush of the bustling town,
Away from tho city's wearing strife,
Under tho sun or cloudlanil's frown,
Dwells nature's pure, renewing life.
Oh, como to this giccn retreat who may,
With pilgrim burden or clinging care
Will find such burden fall away,
And gain new life in this mountain air.
