Liberality That Pays. That the people of Scranton should hold the harmless delusion of pro pi letoi ship in the D., L. & XV. railroad Bcems hut natural to those who have been conversant with the history of the road. People In other towns along the line or those who have been connected with it during its late his tory can hardly appicclale this feel ing. Its oiiglnal reason for existence was to connect Scranton with the out side world to furnish an outlet for its natural and manufactured pro ducts, coal and iron. While In Its growth it has reached out to other (less Important; cities, such as New York and Huffulo, Scranton and vicin ity have still remained the same source of Its great carrying trade and tlie foundation of its financial suc cess, Scranton has also been the prac tical headquarters of the management of tlie road and Its leading officials have been a part of Scranton's growth and the people of Scranton have thus come to feel a personal Interest in the V., L. & XV. not felt toward any other road. While all the roads within reach of Scrnnton either enter or have close connections with Scranton and some, ns the D. & II., handle a great many passengers, coming and going, yet none of them takes the place of the D., L. & XV. as the road of Scran ton. It Is but natural, then, that our peo ple should have a lively interest in all that transpires In the management of tlie road and possibly a feeling of jealousy and resentment toward any move that takes from Scranton her long held Importance In its manage ment. These thoughts were brought to mind by the appeal for help by the ladles of the Home for the Fiiendless due partly to the failure of one of their usual sources of revenue the an nual excursion which the railroads, usually the D., L. & XV., centering here carried for them free of charge. These ladies knew that whatever might he the retult of their negotiations with other roads they could depend upon Mr. Hallstead's helping them out, that underneath Ills brusque exterior there beat a heart in sympathy with their philanthropic labors. Nor was llr. Hallstead lacking in business saga city in gianting their requests, for he was but cementing more closely the feeling of personal interest of this community In the D., t,. & XV. railroad, which reilected itself In old business kept and new business won. A few carloads of freight, he realized, would soon repay the cost of motive power in hauling the annual excursion for the Home. He also knew that in fur nishing this motive power he was pay ing hut a small part of what was real ly due to the Home for its care of the widows and orphans made by the relentless grind of the wheels of com merce. It ought to bo possible to secure from the new management a willing accept ance of these Judicious views. Ten thousand officers have already expressed their willingness to Join Gen cral Otis and his forces at Manila. Now if a few privates can be secured there Is no question that the war can bo quickly ended when the showers are over. The Protectorate Proposition. Mr. Bryan's Columbus speech in dicates that after much casting about to Ilntl some form of opposition to expansion which will not subject Its sponsors to the charge of cowardice he has discovered the fitting campaign cry, to wit: "Let us give the Fill plnos the same nssurance of indepen dence that we have given to the Cu bans. Let us assure them of our in tention of establishing a stable gov ernment which, when established, will be their government, not ours. Let us assure them that we shall stand by them like an elder brother and say to other nations, 'Hands off. Let this republic work out its destiny!'" ThlB sounds well und reads well. Tut in Mr. Ilryan's best style, sur charged with his undeniable magnet ism nid launched with every appear ance of disinterested philanthropy, it ought to be good at each utterance for two or three tine rounds of ap plause, with now nnd then a tiger added. Among persons more given to sentimentality than to discretion, the idea of a full-fledged Filipino republic generously backed by Tmclo Sam, who assumea tho entire lesponsiblllty be fore ull the other nations, but exer cises over the protego Itself no func tion of actual control, will obtain many devotees. A year and n halt ago most of us thought that way about Cuba. Our sympathies were aroused. Our imaginations were touched. XVe had heard loud talk of a Cuban republic und we came near swallowing tho deception, bait, hook and line. When tho picsldent and soma of his level headed advisers pointed out tho pro priety of making thorough inquiry bnforo giving recognition to Cuban in dependence or Intimated that the de velopment in Cuba of a stable gov ernment capable of an independent existence was not yet an accomplished fuct or even a proximate possibility, wo laughed them to scorn or grow Indignant nt their fancied cold-blood-edne"- Tday, in the lleh't of subse quently acquired knowledge, wo per ceive not only that the chief executlvo nnd his advisers knew what they wero talking about, hut also that tho pledge upon which we based our Intervention in Cuba, however beautiful In spirit, was practically a mistake, which has fettered our own hamlrt und fed native suspicion and distrust without bring Ins In tiny manner the slightest com pensating advantages. It was a pledge In no sense releasing us from our obligations under International law; It could have been made with equal propilety and fnr better Judgment af ter we had got Cuba ready for Inde pendence, and Its Immediate effect un der existing clrcninstanefs Is to paralyze the Industrial recovery of the Island which will not take risks on tho uncertain duration of American control, nnd set to plotting every nm bitlous schemer who pictures in Cu ban independence a political license to gain wealth without woik. Unfitted though they bo for the In dependence we proclaimed so gener ously but so prematurely, the Cubans are one people, racially unified. Not so with tho Filipinos. There wo have to deal with thirty to forty dlffetent races exhibiting every conceivable var iation in human conditions. If we have found out the error of our way in Cuba let us not, with open eyes, make a similar though ton-fold gross er error In the Philippines. Let us drop sentiment and get hold of the facts before committing ourselves be fore the eyes of mankind to a specific nnd unalterable policy. There Is no need of any pledge beyond what has already been given by our history and our conduct. AVe have not gone for conquest and we are not meditating a despotic sway; but let us keep both hands free to deal with the problem's details as they shall arise, recollect ing all the while that the quicker the Filipinos show capacity for self-government the sooner relief will com from our unsought but now inexorable responsibilities. The now call for troops in tho Phil ippines offers able-bodied men the op portunity to become travelers and heroes at the same time. That Guatemalan Incident. Some time ago, according to the facts at hand, a ceitain John 13 Rich ards, of Louisville. Ky., with a part ner named Harris, visited Guatemala to look for mining claims. They took with them surveying and other Instru ments and they succeeded In discover ing a valunble claim, which they were proceeding to secure under the estab lished forms of Guatemalan law, whrn they were suddenly seized, their in struments confiscated, they themselves imprisoned nnd after a short incarcera tion for reasons not stated they wero forcibly deported, Richards being put on board a slow freight steamer which landed him penniless and almost naked In New Orleans. When arrested Richards sent the fol lowing letter to the United States min ister to Guatemala, W. Godfrey Hun ter: "I am arrested, and do now know oven the cause. I am ordered to leave the country by way of Port Uarrios I am not to be permitted to go by way of Guatemala city or to see any one. I have committed no crime in this or any other country. If tlie government has any charge against me I demand in dictment and trial. I beg you to see that I get justice, and nothing more." To this Minister Hunter replied: "I have received your telegram of yester day relative to the order for your ex pulsion. The authorities claim to have proof sufficient to justify the order." Richards still claims to know of no reason whatever for his treatment save the supposed desire of a certain Guate malan of Influence to possess Richards' property; and It Is stated that Rich ards Is highly indorsed ns a man of veracity nnd integrity. The Washington papers on Friday contained this announcement: "Secre tary Hay has sent instructions to Min ister Hunter to investigate promptly the case of Richards, of Louisville, Ky., and If the circumstances justify such action, to demand proper redress. The action of the United States government will depend upon the result of Minister Hunter's investigation. Tho gunboat Vixen, which is now patrolling the coast of Central America, will probably touch at Livingston and nid the minis ter in his investigation." If reports are true, Hunter needs somebody to aid him. In addition to the indifferent tona of his reply to Richards' appeal, as quoted above, Hunter stands under other suspicion. The Washington Post nays editorially: "It has been fre quently asserted, on what wo have rea son to regard as good authority, that American citizens ran seldom receive the smallest protection at the hands of their minister, and are compelled in every case of outrage or oppression to appeal to the British vice consul, Mr. Scott , who invariably rights their wrongs. Indeed, we learn that Mr. Scott Is an American bv birth, but had to change his nationality in order to take refuge under the lirltlsh flog. He found it Impossible to live in Guate mala as n citizen of the United States." TheFe statements we nl'o at their own value. The state department does well to look Into them nnd to use for the purposes of the Inquiry other eyes than those of Minister Hunter. If they are found to be false no harm will have been done by running them to earth. If they aro found to lift true, Guatemala should be made to pay for the outrage a sum in compensation bo largo nnd to offer npnlogles bo abject that tho incident will have exemplary virtue throughout the Latin-American states. lly the time the automobile gets within reach of the class that now ridc-a bicycles it is probablo that the nuto moblllBts of today will be sailing over our heads in air ships. Golf, like every other popular gamo or fad, has Ub enemies. The gome is sneered nt by persona who claim that It is nothing moro or less than tho pleblan nmusement known as "shin ney,' and players and their uniforms are ridiculed by tho critical who havo never Indulged In tho pleasures of the links. Of all amusements of the pres ent age, however, it seems as though golf was tho one deserving of tho most encouragement. Unlike tho enthusias tic 'cyclist, who runs down pedestrians on the streets and Is nt times the worst kind of a nuisance, tho golf player Is seldom seen savo when Journeying to and from the distant cow pasture, where he delights to chase tho little balls over hill nnd dale. Golf players arc, ns a rule, quiet people who do llttlo damage aside from occasionally knock ing each other on tho head with tho driving sticks. Golf is not an tntrlcato game. It Is easily understood, ''and when once understood offers nn In ccntlvo for people who are dying by Inches for the want of exercise that should be appreciated. Ily all means let golf receive encouragement. If Secretary Alger knew how his dally refusals to leslgn are damaging tho president's reputation for nggres slvencfcs, maybe he would let up. A Biography That Instructs. The beginnings of a cateer llko that brought to a closu last week through the death of Robert Bonner aro of permanent Interest. It is possible that somp of our readers are familiar with the details, of -Mr. Bonner's start in life; thoso who are not should know that Bonner came to those shores a poor Irish lad whoso capital, on land ing, was only one sovereign. He se cured employment as a "devil" In the Hartford Courant olllco at $23 a year and his boatd soon after his arrival nnd remained with that paper from 1837 to 1S13. "A large part of these years," says the New York Sun, "he woiked nineteen and twenty hours a day. At first he made Area and swept out the office, but by wot king over time and watching the Journeymen he soon outstripped the other appren tices. Ho learned to set type, to make up forms and to feed and operate presses. He also wrote for tho paper before the end of his service, and when he left Hartford he was not only a master of printing, but also a general newspaper man of considerable attain ments." Mr. Bonnor went from Hartford to Now York city to take a place as proofreader and assistant foreman on tho Evening Mirror. After working nt the office all day, Bonner at night wrote letters for the Courant, at first using a fictitious name. Ills letters were so good that the editor of the Courant made a regular place for them, found out tho identity of their author and helped him to make simi lar arrangements with other papers. For the Mirror Uonner made a spe cialty of artistic displays, first In headlines and then In advertisements. This was tho means of securing for him an offer to take mechanical charge of the Merchant's Ledger, a small business paper, which Bonner afterward bought and turned into the New York Ledger of fame. The later achievements of Mr. Bonner are well known how he hoisted to almost miraculous figures the circulation of tho Ledger by hiring the best contributors to be had for love or money, printing as neat a paper as In genuity could devise, advertising its merits with startling originality com bined with liberality, and keeping faith scrupulously with every person who had dealings with him; how lie be came a millionaire, noted alike for love of mankind and love of horses, and how in his death thousands of persona In every part of the English speaking world felt a sense of personal shock and loss. But it was the beginnings that counted; the hard work, the willing Bplrit, the keenness to study nnd im prove. These are the lessons his ex ample sets before us. - Judge Hornblower, as his address be fore the Bar association showed, Is an earnest and sorrowful antl-expanslon-Ist, but his assumption that "the time for repining Is past, that tho deed Is done, that the Rubicon Is crossed" and that "we are In the position of a man who has adopted a family of orphans, for whom it is too late to consider whether he was wise to do It, who can not undo it, even if he has to thrash them into love and obedience and to neglect his own children to care for adopted ones" Is substantially correct, excepting the last clause. Thoso Cubans who have nuked the president to use part of the free ration fund In the purchase for Cuban farm ers of farm Implements and harvest seed aro on the right track. A worker helped toward self-support is worth a dozen Idlers kept idle by misplaced charity. It will probably be necessary for Ad miral Dewey and others to keep in the background for a time until Mr. Harrl man, the "only American golf cham pion,' has had an opportunity to be come accustomed to his laurels. Admiral Cervera has been formally ncqultted of the churgo of treason glowing out of his defeat at Santlgo; but ho remains guilty of having had to serve a rotten lot of Bo-called super iors. General Leonard Wood wants $10,000 for tho purchase of suitable text books for tho Santiago schools, Here 1b a chance for some wealthy citizen to perpetuate his memory. - - The government has resumed tho sending of canned roast beef to Cuba, but it Is safe to wager that this tlmo the beef Is not embalmed. Colonel Bryan says he talks too much. For once wo can agree with him. WOMAN'S WEAPON. "What Is a woman's weapon?" I asked a churming girl, Gho dropped her lashes uhyly And stroked u vntoaut curl, Then consciously she murmured- This rosebud newly out "I hu'vo a strong suspicion Her weapon la a pout." "What Is a woman's weapon?" I asked a lover true. Ho turned him to a nmlden With uyes of hiaunly bluo, Her velvet lips were parted, All Innocent of guile, ' And e.iReiiy ho answered: "Her weapon is a smile." "What Is a woman's weapon?' I asked a poet then. With fciuliUn inspiration Hi) Bfilzed upon his pen, "Oh, I could name a thousand!" He cried in accents clear; "But woman's surest weapon, I grant you, is a toar," Philadelphia Times. Everyday Facts in Neu)spap?r Making From an Address by Albert 13. Hoyt. of tho Albany Argu, Heforo tho New York PrcsH Association. HAT aro some of the charges ana criticisms most common ly made against newspapers nnd newspaper makers? We are told that newspapers make mis takesmistakes of tho type, inaccur acies In statement, blunders as to facts; nnd, as libel suits occasionally remind us, deliberate misrepresentation Is sometimes charged. We are also told that tho "sensationalism of the press" Is a great and growing evil; some would have us believe that even the best Inteutloned newspapers are more or lc3s saffron In hue. o To the first Indictment, that news papers make mistakes, defendant pleads guilty, and asks that there be called as witness on behalf of com plalnnnt some one who makes no mis taken. Typographical cirors are par ticularly exasperating I suppoto be cause they are usually so trivial; It Is the little things that count. Consider the difference In size between a mos quito and a regiment of Infantry; yet many a man who would face a regi ment with the utmost calmness will go all to pieces and keep the Recording Angel busy for a week, just because a tiny mosquito Is singing a bit of lulla by to him. It is Just so with the typo graphical error; the only difference be ing that you can't shoo away a typo graphical error or appeal to the bettor feelings of Its business end with the broad side of a book. It is tho little thlng3 that hurt: "So, naturalists observe, a flea Has smaller fleas that on him prey; And these have smaller still to bite 'em; And so proceed ad Infinitum." o Some tvnotrrnrthlrnl errors nre mere ly ludicrous; others would move strong men 10 tears, teetotalers to drink, Job to anger. To err Is human, to forgive unusual. Tho line of type which gets Into the paper bottom-side up Is the one lino every body is sure to see; the word mlspelled, the sentence with a wrong word or two In It well, an edi tor would never begin to suspect how many readers ho lins unlna thnt onrt of thing happened. The question is, now uo typographical errors occur? Why do they occur? Why doesn't some body get up a law against them? Most of the daily newspaper offices of the present day use' linotype machines, so called because they set type by the line, and not by the letter, as it used to b set by hand. Now when there happens to be a wrong word or letter in a line, in resetting that line there is always a chance that the linotype operator may make one or two new mistakes. It sometimes happens (especially when the hour of going to press is near at hand) that there is no time for the lino thus reset to be again read by the proofreader; so it goes into the paper with all its typographical errors uncor rected. But consider, for a moment, how great Is the opportunity for typograph ical errors In a daily newspaper. In a newspaper column of minion type (a size of type commonly used in news composition) there will be say 200 lines, averaging seven words to a line; in each line there will be an average of something like 32 letters and six spaces, making thirty-eight times to a line that the linotype operator must strike the keys of the typewriter-like keyboard arrangement befoie him. each of which moves and "sets" a letter or punctuation mark, a figure or a space. Suppose that In an eight-page, fifty six column, paper there is an average, taking the dull with the busy seasons, of say 22 columns of ndvertlslnr, and something like 30 columns of straight news typesetting every day, exclusive of "heads." News compositors work at tho linotype machine eight hours, much of which, especially the latter half of It, Is done "on the Jump." A rapid man will set In that time something like 40,000 to 45,000 "ems," nnd an average man 30,000 to 33,000 "ems." That Is to say, in setting 30 columns of news type, containing 6,000 lines, the operator makes a total of 228,000 single impres sions upon the keyboard, and makes them at the rate of 4,000 to 6,000 "ems" per hour. These figures are not exact, but they approximate accuracy near enough to convey to the general pub llo an idea of tlnj situation. Is it so unheard-of a thing if In half a dozen of those 228,000 letters there aro typo graphical errors? If one or two of those 0,000 lines sometimes get turned upside down by the foreman in the final rush of lifting tho type into the "forms" and hurrying a page to the stereotyping room, Is it unpardonable? o Is a newspaper to be Judged by one or two things, or by general aims and tendencies? What Is sensationalism? What Is news? What ought to go into the paper? What ought to be left out? One man would say that he cares nothing for local happenings because he already knows all about them; but another cares for nothing so much as an account of what he already knows of and Is Interested In. Some do not care for telegraphic news; some think that a newspaper with no advertise ments would bo the Ideal paper; some would omit tho sporting page, whllo others would eliminate reports of ser mons, If the makers of a newspaper were to accept all the suggestions re ceived ns to what should be omitted, because too sensational or otherwise, would there be anything left except a consciousness of rectltudo and a re ceivership? Onco upon a time a woman In society gave one of those grand af fairs which the society editor calls a "function." All the papers reported it fully; one paper reported it at espe cially great length, and in glowing terms recounted the charms of the hostess, and tho elegance of tho nffalr. Aftorward sho was heard to complain to her friends of the growing evils of newspaper notoriety, and "for her part she wished there was a law against such newspaper reports an the one In question." This wus the moro Inter esting, In view of tho fact that tho ag grieved lady hnd written that particu lar artlcle'hprself every dot, dash and comma, every gushing adjectlvo was her very own. o Tho nowspnper Is merely a picture of life, drawn with more or less skill by men neither better nor worse than the nvorago of their fellows. When you paBH from genernl to particular, every paper must be, In Its dominating tend encies, either good or bad; hot or cold, not lukewarm; not "betwixt nnd be tweon." Newspapers nro like eggs there nre good eKK. nnd bad eggs, but no such thing ns a "pretty fair" egg, or a pretty fair newspaper. Tho news paper is not unlike tho little girl who had a little curl rght down in tho middle of her forehead; when she was good sho was very, vory good, and when she was bad sho was horrid. CAPTAIN SIGSBEE'S SPEECH. From tho Boston Ulobc. In un address nt Fall ltlver Wednesday night Captain Hlgsbec, of tho Ttxns, told tho following story lllustrutlvo of tha fact that naval mm mudo no pretense at being orators: "it Is a very difllcult situation for me, ' said Captain Slgsbce, "to bo required to make u speech, and I am in tho situa tion of tho old sailor who was very fond of tea, and was devoted to tho people who bcrvtd It. But this old sailor had no society manner"", and had never at tended nn afternoon tea. Ho was afraid of tho lidlm, but In somo wuy ho was forred to nn afternoon tea. Ho went almost In despair, and when ho got back to his ship his mates said: " 'Brown, did vou go to tho tea?' " i did.' " 'How did you feel there?' " '1 felt llko a sperm whale doing cro chet work,' " (Laughter and applause). Nevertheless, Captain Slgsbeo makes a very nble address. OUR INDIAN PROTEGES. From the Now York Sun. There are, approximately, 2M.000 In dians In the United States, and the larger number of them maintain such tribal or Kfinlzatlnns as exempt them from tho operation of the ordinary laws of tha country. They have their own govern ments, tribunals nnd tribal regulations, enjoy exemption from taxation, Jury duty and military service, nnd have tho bene fit of tho various provisions made in treaties from tlmo to time whereby tho United States government assures them certain lands, a certain amount of bus tcnanco and In some cases cash pay ments.. From tho foundation of tho government until the present tho In dians have cost tho federal government, oxcluslvo of tho sum sot apart for mili tary expeditions, forts and reservations and exclusive of the sums appropriated by tho stntcs, about J30.O0O.0mO In dis bursements, tho nverngo amount of which is now about JC.OuO.OOO a year.

Russell Sage has given $1 toward car ing for tho neglected cemetery In which his parents are burled. Cecil Rhodes, tho "K'ng of South Africa," Is disposed to regard matrimony as a hlndranco to business. Hence, when one of his secretaries married ho was forthwith got rid of, but as somo amends tho eccentric millionaire sent him a check for $23,000. Ex-Governor Hogg, rf Texas, says of Richard Croker: "He is tho noblest, tho most straightforward and the cleanest public man I ever met. Rlchnrd Croker Is setting for the young men of our great coui try an example of purity and spotless Integrity as a public man." Mr. Hogg Is evidently a humorist. A friend of ex-Sceretnry of State Day says of him: "Ills brain Is a cabinet of facts. It contains, ns it were, a thou sand drawers, each properly labeled, so that ho can get nt what ho wants at once. Ho can talk well nnd with au thority of anything on crops, drainage, engineering, general science, law, art and literature."
