The- Men Who Buffor. Tho threat of tho city controller nnd his advisers to Interpose let-al obstacles to tho rffpalr of our asphalt streets until beaten before the court of last resort, although aimed directly at tho Barber company, Is Indirectly aimed nt tho people who drive or ride upon those thoroughfares. If executed It would mean an Indefinite prolongation of a situation which for more than a year lias been a most vexatious nnd burdensoim one to every owner of a vehicle of any ltlnd dolns business In (his city. If beaten In this 1pk.i1 battle, tho con troller nnd tlmpo who have prompted him tn npsuino an obstructlonary course will not reimburse the citizens who arc put to expensive Inconvenience in the meanwhile. The business men who own teunw that are rackr-d and wnitons that are wrecked because of the abominable condition of the main thoroucrhfires cannot send to Mr. Howell fur payment the horse-shoers' bills, the wafjon repair bills, tho extra livery bills or the wane bills of the additional lnlp thus necessitated. In rases of exceptional damage there mli;ht be Brounds for local action ngalnst the city but with the disad vantage that a judgment won would have to take Its slow Win of payment, Involving more bother than many vic tims would rare to assume. Are thu business men of Scranton pleased nt this prospect? The Alger senatorial boom evidently Is of tho eushlon-tlre nnd hall-bearing variety, noiseless If not triocdy. Yollow Journalism's Cure. One of tho most deplorable features of Sunday journalism In Hcranton at the present time Is the prominence of tho venomous Insect vulgarly known as the "i oast editor." In the race for tho goal In this direction, common de cency has been left in tho distance and wanton vituperation runs riot In the columns of some of our alleged Sunday newspapers. Tills older of things was in nil probability brought about by the course of an obnoxious sheet which for n time was thrown In the door-yards of respectable people all over the city In order to sustain the claim of an Im mense circulation as bait for the ad vertiser. Encouraged by tho patience with which olllce-holders and politi cians submitted to constant abuse and allowed the publisher to escape with only two or throe thrashings, the paper has attacked private citizens right and left regardless of results Strange ns It may seem, this kind of business Is finding many imitators in the Sunday field who believe that the only way to sell a paper Is to fill col umns with sensational slander. In fact, evidences of the spirit have been recently discernible In the dally presa. Instead of striving for accuracy in a report of any happening of a sensa tional nature tho enthusiastic scribe labors to asceitnln how far the facts may be dlstoited and yet escape a libel suit. The evils of this kind of news paper work are incalculable. The damage to private character and to the city In every Instance Is Irreparable. Of course it is useless to preach to the writer or publisher addicted to this habit. It Is n species of Insanity that can seldom be cured by the rawhide or prison bars. The only way to sup press the newspaper hyena Is to ren der his wares unprofitable by lack of patronage. An explicit denial has been made from an authoritative source of the report that President Schurman and General Otis were in disagreement at Manllu as to the best method of over coming the Filipino insurrection. This icport was another "beat" of yellow journalism a fake, absolutely. Turn on the Light. Those who heard Professor Lewis M. Ifaupt, of the Nicaragua Canal com mission, lecture In this city last March will recall the gloomy nature of his predictions as to the future of this great entermlse, considered from the standpoint of politics and legislation. He was convinced then that tho oppo sition to tho canal, working secretly upon concressmon and upon the lead ers of national legislation, was formid able enough to make doubtful tho canal's authorization during at least the present generation. From an In terview made public soon after his nomination to a place on the latest commission appointed last week upon authority of congress to conduct a third Investigation of canal topics, It Is evi dent that Professor Haupt's gloominess of opinion has not been modified. Says he: "The appointment of this latest com mission Is simply another game of pro crastination, brought about by the al lied opposition to the United States Betting possession of a short route to the Par East. This opposition Is pow erful and active. It never rests, and when vou come to nn&lyz it, It Is enouch to make ono despair. To be gin with, thero Is the technical com mission, composed of English, French, German and other engineers, who made their headquarters here last year. Then there Is the transcontinental railway opposition, who bellevo the canal would hurt their business. This Is a mistake on their parts, as deep waterways al ways Increase the business of railways. Then there Is the Panama canal Inter ests. The millions that have been squandered In that scheme and the gen eral impracticability of It aro matters pt common knowledge. No Frenchman can bo found to Invost a penny In It. Hut the company that now controls It bought It for a song and wiped out all tho former obligations, and Is working upon It today. The government of Co lombia gets JtOO.OOO a year out of It, nnd It Is to Its Interest to keep tho work going. Hut the great game Is to raddle tho Panama canal upon tho United States; that Is, to make this country puy for It. Franco will always own the canal It It Is over built. "Then there Is England. Sho is only ono of tho Euiopenn nations, but her trade with the Far East is great, and she fears sho will lose It If the canal is built. England today has tho heir apparent to thu Mosquito country held as a hostage in Jamaica. She pays him an annuity, and ever since the Clnyton Uulwer treaty she has been trying to get possession of the country. Eng lish capitalists have tried a number of times to get possession of the San Juan ilver solely to prevent the construction of a canal. The Clayton-Uulwcr treaty Itself Is the greatest obstacle to the building of tho Nicaragua canal nnd was drafted in the Interest of English trade. Now, this commission Is com posed of some of the ablest men In the country. 13ut tho fact Is that all the wheat has been threshed out of tho thing already. Two years have been spent and a lot of money consumed and an elaborate report has been made, but who has seen It? If that report were published, as It ought to have been, the people would know by this time why tho canal Is not being built. This commission will go down again, spend another two years, and the same stoty will be to tell over again. The opposition Is too powerful." Taken In connection with what Pro fessor Haupt said In his lecture here, It is manifestly his belief that a largo African lies secreted In the Nicaragua canal woodpile, not far from the chair of the speaker of the last congress. "Wo know of no one whose acquaintance with this subject is moro accurate nnd thorough than his. Would It not be wle for Professor Haupt to lot the public more In detail Into the secrets of the anti-canal campaign nt which ho so strongly hints? Informed that some of the largo cor porations In New York state are pre paring to contest tho validity of tho franchise tax In spite of the fact that It was amended partly In response to their suggestions, Governor Itoosevclt gives warning that If this law Is not obeyed honestly and in good faith he will do all In his power to secure from tho next legislature supplementary leg islation far moro drastic. Ho Is deter mined, he says, that the corporations shall pay their just share of tho tax burden and If they want a fight they can have It very willingly. If they aro wise they will not force an issue. Krugor's Day Has Como. When trouble arose between England and the Transvaal republic over the Jamleson raid, Americans, being then out of humor with their lirltlsh cousins, took levengo by giving their sympathy very freely to "Oom Paul" Kruger and the Boers. They did this without any particular refeirnoe to tho merits of the controversy, which at tho mo ment were Inadequately understood; they did It, too, In cheery oblivion to tho fact that among tho most progres sive of tho Uitlanders whose cause England champions and whose righta Kruger and the Boers ignore and de spise are many Americans. It was simply a case of Ignorant surface emo tionalism and It Is time now for the American public to take a broader view. The Boers are a race of cattle farm el s so small, stingy and mean spirited that they were elbowed out of tho more civilized South African settlements nnd started for tho Transvaal very much as Brlgham Young nnd his colleague Mormons started two generations ngo for Utah. They had no special right to the land they now occupy. They stole It from the natives and held it by squatter sovereignty. So long ns they remained In Isolation it made little' dif ference to the world nt large what they did. But when gold and diamond de posits were found by Biltlsh and American prospectors in tho Transvnal district tho Boers were too conserva tive to find anything except good pas ture land and outside capital was In vited to enter into the district and develop It, the Boers became of Inter est once more. They permitted the "Uit landers (that Is, the outsiders) to enter, to build up great Industries, to pay nine-tenths of the taxes and to become in all respects tho progressive and sub stantial element In the commercial and social life of the Transvaal republic, then they proceeded to soak them un mercifully. They compelled these peo ple who were building up their coun try's Interests to pay onerous and Ignorantly levied taxes), denying them representation In tho tax-levying as sembly; they forced them to support outrageous government monopolies and to respectful petition for redress of grievances they mado answer by vul gar oaths and heel-stamping. In tho history of civilized intercourse there probably Is no parallel instance of the Ignorance, narrow-mindedness and churlishness of the Boers of the Trans vaal as exhibited In their attitude to the American nnd English Immigrants who were attracted by legitimate com mercial aspirations, protection of which Is one of the chief objects of intelligent government. The Jamleson raid was an over-bollng of Uitlander indigna tion; but had tho Uitlanders executed a St. Bartholomew's massacre of tho Boers it would have been ulmost a case of justifiable homicide. Tho grievances of these aliens or the Transvaal, Ignored and spurned by the Boers, wore finally addressed to tho British government, which claims suzerainty over the Dutch republic. Its efforts to reach by diplomacy nn amic able settloment having failed through President Kruger's stubbornness, the application of force Is to bo expected and welcomed. Kruger occupies exact ly tho position of tho farmer who de cllnes to mnko over right of way for tho railroad, although offered every reasonable concession. Eminent do main must bo asserted and the block ader of civilization made to move. No government can stand In these demo crats daya which spurns majority I lights and tries to pit Us strength ngnlnst that of modern civilization. "Oom Paul" Kruger's day has come. The fact that cx-Champlon Fltzslm mons had nerve enough left to umpire a ball game Indicates that ho could not have been so badly used by by Jef fries after all. Difficulties of an Arbitration Plan. From tho New York Sim. n ITHOUGH tho latest news from A Tho Hague Indicates that cam lr rst c",:,rts aro nado t0 arrive at LIU some dcllnltc agreement whereby war may ba often averted through re courso to arbitration and mediation, we are still skeptical regarding tho prnct.oal outcome of the projects. Let us look, first, at the plnn for estab lishing an International board of arbi tration. Tho British and American delegates have proposed that the sub mission of controversies to this tri bunal should be, In nil cases, volun tary on tho part of the nations Inter ested. An International court, tho jur isdiction of which should be thus cir cumscribed, would constitute no great improvement upon tho existing state of things. It probably would have lit tle to do; for two nations, having agreed to settle a dispute by arbitra tion, would, generally, prefer to follow the existing practice and submit it to arbitrators appointed ad hoc. among whom the umpire would represent a disinterested nation. Foreseeing the likelihood of such a preference for a peimanent tribunal, the delegates of Bussla have proposed to assure a cer tain amount of business to the latter body by specifying a number of con troversies not Involving a nation's honor, dignity or teiritorlnl integrity, as to which arbitration bhould bo com pulsory for all the states represented on the International tribunal- o Here, again, we aro confronted by tho question, what is meant by the term compulsory? It Is conceivable that one i of tho coslgnatoty jiowers might be led by an unfortunate experience to doubt tho Impartiality of the perman- i ent International court and might, con sequently, reiiiso to fcubmlt to it even a controversy clearly belonging to the class of cases designated for compul sory arbitration. How Is tho recalcl tiunt power to bo coerced into com pliance with an agreement made at Tho Hague, and, subsequently, embod ied in treaties? Will tho other parties to tho agreement combine to exact compliance by force of arms? What wo should then witness would bo war, the very thing which the peace con ference is aiming to avoid. History abounds with proofs that no nation will permit Itself to remain tied by ttwity obligations after It becomes con vinced that these are detrimental to It3 welfare. Less than fifteen years af ter tho Peace of Paris, concluded In 1S5C, Bussla announced that it would no longer be bound by its promise to maintain a war fleet in the Black sea. No attempt to coerce her was made by the oilier powers represented In the Paris congress of the year named, and wo may be quite sure that a refusal to conform to an agreement to submit a certain class of cases to arbitration would also go unpunished. It is, therefore, practically useless for the powers lepresented at The Hague to declare that the arbitration of certain specified disputes shall bo compulsory. Compulsion, if exercised, would be war, and there Is no Intention of re sorting to that coercive agency. We abide, then, In the opinion formerly expresssed, that the principal practi cal effect of the peace conference, so far as arbitration Is concerned, will bo to stimulate the public sentiment which commends that pacific method of settling any controversies to thu civilized nations of tne globe. o The mediation project brought for waul by tho American delegates was originally advocated on the ground that the mediating nations would per form the functions which aro dis charged by seconds In a duel between Individuals. Tho proposal Is that, be fore two powers appeal to force, each shall select a mediating nation, and tho two mediators shall endeavor, as seconds in a duel do, to arrange a paci fic settlement of tho quarrel. Analo gies, although sometimes illuminative, are apt to be delusive. Neither of tho principals In a prospective duel loses any of his original advantages during the delay required for a conference on tho part of the seconds. In a duel be tween nations, on the other hand, as, for instance, between Germany and France, or between Germany and Rus sia, the tremendous Initial advantage which Germany Is supposed to possess In respect of speed of mobilization would be lost during the period allot ted to the efforts of the mediating powers. It is true that the plan toi mediation laid before the peace con ference provides that the acceptance of mediation shall not have the result of interrupting or retarding mobiliza tion. That is not tho point to which we are hero directing attention. Tho point Is that Germany could mobilize her nrmles, it Is b-Mleved, In ft week, v.ii"ivas Franco would renuire a fort night, and Bussla a month to attain tho same state of readiness. It follows that, by tho end of tho month which tho mediators should have.lt is suggest ed, for their conciliatory task, Ger many would have forfeited the tre mendous advantuge which she possess ed four weeks before. It Is obvious, too, that if tho mediation plan were adopted at Tho Hague, Franco or Rus sia, if intending to make war upon Germany, would begin by appointing u mediator for the express purpose of preventing Its opponent from turning Its superior mobilizing powers to ac count and thus obtaining a great start. o Evidently the nnalogy between the fioconja In a duel and the mediating friends of hostile nations Is mislead ing. Thero are, of course, certain things which a country not a party to a war may do for ono or other of tho combatants. It can, through Its diplo matic agents, render such kind offices as were performed for Spain by France during tho recent war, and ns were performed for German residents In France by the American minister at Paris during the war of 1870. But to defer the outbreak of hostilities for a prescribed period, during which medi ating powers aro conferring or pre tending to confer, would be an annul ment of tho ndvantago resulting from a superior mobilizing capacity that Germany is unlikely to submit to. As for the acceptance of mediation dur ing tho progress of a conflict, that, also, Is an expedient as to which a powerful nation would scarcely wish to bind Itself In advance. Tho party that Is worsted In a contest Is always eager for mediation, whllo tho con queror Is as naturally averse to It. During tho war of 1870, JTranco clam ored for mediators, but Bismarck would havo none of them. Thero was not on hour during our lato war, after Dewey's victory at Cavlto, when Spain would not have welcomed media tion. But It was clearly against our Interest to adopt such n method of bringing tho quarrel to an end. In deed, hnd wo been bound by treaty to such an arrangement ns Is now sug gested, It is probable that no war with Spain would have taken place, for the two mediating nations would very like ly havo arranged that Cuba, while re maining nominally a dependency of Spain, should beeomo autonomous, a plan which, though ostensibly equit able, would not havo been carried out In good faith. o Tho truth Is that only by war could Cuba bo thoroughly and lnstlngly de livered from the shackles of Spanish tyranny, and it Is fortunate for the Cubans that In April, 1S9S, we were not hnmpered by an ngrecment such ns Is now proposed at Tho Hague, to accept mediation before engaging In a war. THE NEW DIPLOMACY. Tho Hague Letter In tho Sun. It is time to record the remarkable change which has taken place In tho estimation tn which the American dele gates are held by nil their colleagues. They wero regarded nt first In some quarters as nlmtist Interlopers, having no placo In tho discussion of a situation which tho Old World powers considered strictly European. Their disposition was to treat tho Americans as a quantltc neff llgeablo. This Idea suddenly disappeared almost at the outset of the deliberations, when tho American delegation said. In effect: "Gentlemen, we coma here to do busi ness. Wo are not hero for diplomacy, but to discuss In a straightforward fash ion the subjects contained In tho czar's rescript nnd with a sincere purpose to reach a practical retult. If we fall to accomplish that object we propose to In form the world why wo fulled nnd place tho responsibility for that falluro ex actly whero It belongs." This was "new diplomacy" with a ven gnnceand i Is not nn exaggeration, to say that It charged the wholo situation nt The Hague. The greatest obstnele to any practical agreement, especially on tho subject of arbitration, disappeared after It wns made. Tho American plain upeaklng lnd another Important effect. It won for tho American delegation a confidence In Ita good faith and practical common nensft which rerhaps none other njnys. So in a great degree no leader of tho conference, not M. do Staal him self. Is now so much rought for by his confreres of all countries for consulta tion and advice ns Ambassador While, and It Is undeniable that ho and Sir Julian Paunccfoto have now the strongest pctsonal Inflnenco of the six score of rep resentatives hero assembled. BRYAN'S BOLD AVOWAL. From the New York Sun. Colonel Bryan'j speeches contlnuo to thiow darkress on their subjects, but oc casionally they aro enllchtenlng as to tho colonel himself. At CentraHa, 111., he had a good deal to say about tho ln como tax and the part that he, as a member of tho house of representatives, had In drafting tho income tax law. 11 cuid that tho Democratic leadcis In con gress told him that it would "dilvo all the rich Democrats into tho Republican party." Ho nnswered, "If it does, It will win poor ltepubllcat:s enough to tho Democrats to make up for tho loss." Thero are moro poor than, rich peo plo; sock It to tho rich and the poor will bo with you; such wus Mr. Bryan's argu ment. Bran confesses, without shamo and apparently in innocence, that his schema was to set "tho poor" against "the rich" and make up for posslblo de fections of tho latter from tho Demo cratic side by accessions of the former from tho Republican side. "But," sighs Mr. Bryan mournfully, "I know more about poor Republicans now than I did then." Wo wish that Colonel Bryan could truthfully say tha samo about tho vari ous other matters which he percusses at tho rate of two or three speeches a day. MIXED RELATIONSHIP. From tho Pathfinder. Over tho line in Ohio county a man named Miller married a widow who had a grown-up daughter. His father fell in lovo with tho stepdaughter. Tho father becamo tho son's son-in-law and tho stepdaughter becamo bis mother. Re cently tho son's wife had a child. Tho child was Miller's father's bro-hcr-ln-law and Miller's own undo, for ho was a brother of his stepdaughter. Miller's father's wife his stepmother also had a son, who was. of courso, Miller's brother, incidentally Miller's grandchild, for ho was tho son of Miller's daughter. ThU3 Miller's own wife was his mother's moth er and Miller becamo his wife's grand child at tho same time. And, then, to top tho whole thing off, as tho husband of his grandmother ho was his own grandfather. A Bude Awakening. Wife John, I wish you would let mo have $J0 this morning..
