BCKAXTON, AUCIUST 10, 3S99. In the effort to prove tho Innocence of Dreyfus and at the name tltno kocp In the unrUgruund the vicious element that has been responsible for his pir rtccutlon, the French court at Rcnnes has a most difficult task on hand. A National Disgrace, The further Inquiry proceeds into the nintter of the lynching of Italians In New Orleans the clearer does it ap pear that tho federal government should have direct jurisdiction over tho punishment of all Infractions of the law which Involve the federal govcrn iient through the existence of violated treaty obligations. In tho present ease the t'nlted States will probably havu to pay to the fami lies of tho lynched men, or at least to tlie families of such of them as were citizens of Italy at the tlmo of their nssurslnatlnii by the New Orleans mob, a round sum of money which under the constitution cannot be surcharged to the state of Louisiana, but which will havp to bo paid out of the general fund. In other words, Americans from Maine to California and from the lakes to the gulf must be taxed to pay the damages created by a lawless gang In one Inferior southern state, yet nfter paying this money these citizens of the Vnlon will have no assurance that the outlaws whose contempt of law forced this levy upon their pocketbooks will be punished or that a serious effort will he made to bring them to Justice. Tnder the present arrangement, what Is to prevent the lynching of foreigners by the mob from becoming a regular pastime In Louisiana, since the ex penses fall not upon tho people of Louisiana, but upon the people of the United States? Tho Imagination could easily go so far as to picture a profit able commission business arrange ment between the leaders of the New Orleans vigilantes and Italian export ers of worthless relatives who hoped to profit fiom the American state de partment's generosity after Judge Lynch had decreused tho Italian cen sus. It is time for Uncle Sam to take personal control of this black nulsanco and clean It out. Agulnaldo's appeal to the Powers is not for the independence of the Filip inos, but for the opportunity to set up a despotic rule over them as Dictator. Agulnaldo's Latest Appeal. The appeal of Agulnaldo for foreign recognition of his alleged government enables us ti renllze tho wisdom of President McKlntey and his advisers In withholding, I wo years ago. a recog nition of Cuban belligerency. Most of us were led ns-tray at that tlmo into the belief that because we sympathiz ed with the declared purposes of tho insurrection in Cuba a proper way to show our sympathy would be by th' r-oognltlon of the Insurgent guerrlll.t forces ns belligoronts. Had this em,r been committed by our government nt that time, It would today offer to unfriendly foreign powers a most con venient excuse for the extension cf diplomatic recognition to the rebel lious Filipino, in other words, wa should be "hoist with our own petard." A stronger claim to such recogni tion is presented In Luzon than was ever apparent in Cuba. Agulnaldo ur,.:oubtedly has or ha) had an army tolerably well orcrnnfopil nn .,,.,!,... - - ... ai.wt.v, (l lines, with porao commanders of good intelligence and with a considerable inutility of modern supplies. The in surgent government Instituted by him has resembled the Cuban insurgent government In the case with which It has shifted Its capital from plaoo to place; but In other respects it has shown a better organization and ,i more tanglblr hold upon the native population. Until recently It had con trol of several ports and sustained the nucleus of a merchant marine. Whether it is now In unchallenged control of a port of entry may ba doubted. Unles-s report belles, Its imy has lately decreased percepti on, In both numbers and organization, but on this point, owing to the roun 1 robin of tho Manlln war correspond ents, the Ameiican public Is in doubt. It seems clear, from the best infor mation obtainable, that a recognition of Filipino belligerency could be made and plausibly defended by nnv for eign power desiring Indirectly to em barrass the United States In Its prose cutlon of a campaign to pacify tho Island. That power could not only cite the reasons riven above but could also point to the arguments of a portion of our own citizenship opposed to the continuance of the Philippine cam pulgn. It could summon to itp sup port not only AVllllam J. Bryan and a considerable number of the Democrat ic leuders in this country but nlso Senators Hoar, Hule, Wellington, Ma son, Burrows, Thurston and the otlv er more or less distinguished antl expansionists. Including the Edward Atkinson-President KUot Mugwump contingent; and It could turn tho speeches and writings of theso men into proof that It was doing clvlliza tion a favor In giving encouragement to the Tagal rebels. It Is fortunately not probable that nny power will take advantage of this oppoitunlty; but tho opening for on to do so should be closed as soon an possible by a vigorous prosecution of our military operations until every armed rebel shall have yielded uncon ditionally. Another acetylene gns plant his Just been scattered over the town In which it was situated In the Wabash Valley, Indiana. Tho people of Scranton are to bo oongntulated that capitalists of this city Old not embrace the op- pertmilty offered some tlmo ajro to on gnfie In tho ncetyleno rs enterprise.

It Is evident that upon arrival In this country Dewey's fate will de pend entirely upon his nullity to be come eluMve. Iron In tho Northwest. From tho present outlook the Iron and coal Industries promise to be nmonjj the most Important of the great northwest. Although the fact Is not gencrnlly known tho consumption of crude pig Iron on the Pacific coast now exceeds a hundred thousand tons a year, and it Is said that the greater part of this supply la brought from the youth by rail and water. The freight amounts to about $11.50 a ton, which Is a great deal morn than the cost of tho Iron nt the furnace, rind more than the selling price until very recently. When one reflects that Iron ores of good quality at well as coal and lime are found In abundance In some pnrts of the northwest near the Pacific roast. It seems surprising that no serious efforts have vt been made to develop the resources of that line In the western mineral belts. Iloth bituminous and anthracite coul have been discovered In the state of Washington notnblv nt Cokedale and Falrhavon, where coke for smelting purposes Is now being produced. In British Columbia, nt a point about fifty miles from the coal deposits in the state of Washington, rich Iron mines have been found. Iron deposits have also been located on several small Islands In Barclay Pound, which wash es the southwest coast of Vancouver Island. Now that there Is such an Increase In the demand for Iron and steel, and that nddltlonnl shipyards are to be established on the Pacific coast, It wouliC seem that there Is a lino unex ploivd field for the iron manufacturer in the northwest. Capitalists are not usually slow to perceive tho advan tages of Invading a new territory to supply an evident want, especially where there H a good margin of profit In sight. The annual statistical re port of the American Ircn and Steel association slates that "no pig Iron was produced either In Oregon or Washington in 1897:" and the statis tics of The Engineering ami Mining Journal show that in tho same year those states produced over one and a half million tons cf coal, most of which came from Washington. In 18D8 Washington alone produced over 2,000, 000 tons of coal, the average value per ton having been $1.72 as compared with $2.23 In 1S07. There seems no question that the hitherto neglected resources of the Pacific coast In Iron ore, fuel and fluxes must In tho near future be de veloped In a way that will make tho Iron Industry one of tho loading- en terprises of the great northwest. Altgeld proposes to look to Manila for an Issue for the next campaign. He has decided that tho 16 to 1 busi ness has been worked to the limit, but expects to gather renewed Inspiration In dilating upon the wronfcs of the pertinacious patriot of the Philip pines'" World's Gold Production. From calculations by the director of the mint at Washington, who Is at work compiling figures of the gold pro ductton of the world for the calendar year of 1S9S, It is evident that the United States have fallen behind other countries In the enormous increase In the output. The production of the United States given some time ago showed an Increase over former years, but later reports indicate that it has not been equal to that of some of the other nations. The figures now being compiled are subject to revision, but they show that tho approximate worth of the gold out put of the world In the year 1S9S was $291,000,000, as compared with $237,505, 000 In 1897 and $202,682,000 in 1896. All the leading gold countries of the world contribute to tho heavy Increase, but other countries have forBed ahead of the United States and hold the record as the richest producers of tho yellow metal. For fifty years prior to 1S97 the Jnttcd States was tho richest gold country in the world, Australia coming next. In 1S97 Africa pushed this coun try out of first place, and In 189S Aus tralia pushes us out of second place and makes us third. In 1897 the nroductlon of the leading countries of the world was as follows: 8t"1 03.081,10 ItiiHiia ; "1-ii-t.Li M ..,,i,Mil,,,ll, J li,tF "J r.cxlc," 9A34.W Canada 6,027.000 Tho estimate for the year 1S98 is as follows: Aiia"::::::::::::::::: 'K united states ::::::: g ; g$ Russia -, nod nrm Mexico 10000000 Canada, including Klondike Houolooo Nearly every country on the face of tho globe shows an Increased produc tion. Tho recent court decisions in ti, . of the Blakely estate against John Philip Sousa must leave the band master In doubt as to whether he Is en titled to travel under his own name. Sousa, liko other persons of prominence In the theatrical world, has been un fortunate In making contrncts that ap parently have enabled others to reap benefits from his genius without giving much in return. The Democratic papers of New York are beginning to emerge from cover and make attacks on Governor Roose velt. He hns already been chr.raoier ized by somo of tho boldest as n dem agogue and a man who does not Keep his promises. Tho work of throwing mud at tho hero of San Juan Is liable to bo hazardous for several years to come. Henri Rochefort has expressed his opinion of the Dreyfus case In a cy clone of censure, cabled to one of the New Vr rk yellow journals. If, aa ha assorts, Franco stands or falls on the result of tho Dreyfus trial, ''Hor.ree" 1? In danger of unintentionally kick ing out the props. Hon. Roger Q. Mills, of Mills bill fame, has Just sold tho oil wells on his Texas farm for over three hun dred thousand dollar? Roger very naturally takes a more optimistic view of lift, than In his days of tariff-tinkering with tho oil Interests undevel oped. Bryan has announced his intention to electioneer for Ooebel, and tho Bakers and Howards have shaken hands and resolved to fight no more. Verily, the affairs of Kentucky nro be ginning to present a millennial aspect. Daniel Frohman, the great theatrical manager, got his first start In life In HUjvcrlntendlng a walking match. As a rule, however, walking Is not an in dication that ono Is on the road to suc cess In theatrical ventures. Tho death of America's first harp maker Is universally mourned in musical circles. Wo doubt If such will be tho case when the builder of the merry-go-round barrel organ Is called to rest. Vleo Is said to flourish a.i usual In Philadelphia, but tho police of that city appear to have succeeded In caus ing the Salvation army some trouble. There Is ono thing that can at least be said In favor of Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease. She has never been known to Bpell her name "Mayme." It begins to look as though Gover nor Plngrce had talked Mr. Alger out of politics. VOICE OF THE PRESS. Tho Value f Haytt, From Harper's Magazine. Tho mention of Cuba icmlnds mo that every business man 1 talked with, wheth er a native or a foreigner, expressed the greatest regret that this Island was not Included with Cubn and Porto I'.'co. As one of the leading politicians of tho Is land put the case a sort time ago: 'Lu cie Sam Is enlarging his kitchen; ho Is getting a place ready for another pot; ho has Cuba for ono leg, Porto Rico for an other, and the third must go on this Is land. It Is well for us all to look tho sit uation fairly In the face." The reader will remember that rice and beans cooked In a. three-legged pot composa tho na tional Ulsh of tho Haytians. Haytt would undoubtedly bo an acquisi tion. It Is a marvelously fertile Island, Inhabited by a docllo but unambitious race, who, with, steady government and light assured, would develop Into good citizens. It Is a country free from the pests that generally infest the tropics. During my resldenco.I only saw three snakes. They were (between five and six feet long and about ono Inch thick per fectly harmless: thero Is not a poisonous snake on tho island. I saw ono scorpion, which a Ilavtlnn crushed to death with his naked foot; there were no files to speak of, and I never reaulred a mos quito net day or night. The cllmato Is healthy, with the exception of ono or two small places, which could bo easily made perfectly livable with ordinary sanitary precautions. You can have your cholco of climate. In somo places you aro never warm, nnd In others you can never get cool. The cloudless blue sky Is an unknown quantity, as far as my expert, ence was concerned. Tho heavens are filled with floating clouds, beautiful In form, and In color like opals an ever changing beauty. Danger of Delay. From the Detroit Tribune. Each day demonstrates the evil con sequencer of delayed civil government in Cuba. Tho military power Is doing all that could bo expected of it, but such machinery 1r not adapted to tho needs of tho population. Thero Is no moro war In Cuba, tho peoplo have had quite enough fighting for the present. What they need at this time Is a recovery from tho rav ages of war. Hundreds of children wcro loft orphans when tho fighting and the starving days wero over, and now they have no guardians. As the people have no goverrment of their own, they havo no charltablo Institutions except tho mili tary hospitals. Thero Is a demand for orphan asylums which must bo support ed out of tho public funds. Those chil dren who havo been left dependent upon their own resources must be provided for. They have fallen Into a state of lawless ness from being compelled to forage for a living, nnd tho pollco courts are dully filled with juvenile offenders. So far as is known, not the slightest nttempt has been made to reinstate civil government, but tho longer this action Is delayed tho greater will be the difficulties confronting tho local government when It Is estab lished. Malice and Foolishness. From Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. Tho following beautiful combination of copperlieadlsm and Ignorance nppears In tho Troy Press: "Weyler nnd. Otis uro tho only two generals who have made ro. cent records as centors, and neither one has any reason to feel proud of the ro. suit." Of tho standard of decency shown in Intimating that Weyler and Otis aro two of n, kind, It Is unnecessary to speak. Concerning the ussortlon that censorship of news dispatches by a military com mander Is something novel end atrocious, It Is necessury to refer to Kitchener, Grant, (Sherman and Meade. These men, and others who might be named, wero censors of tho strictest sort, and If any correspondent wanted serious trouble he could get It by disobeying their orders. When tho reporters cabled their "round robin" from Hong Kong they contributed a great boom to the silly season In Agul naldo circles. No Conscripts Here. From the Albany Times-Union. Thero Is no finer manhood In tho world than thut offering Itself freely for service In tho Philippines. The word conscription has not been heard In the United States, nor wilt It be. Nowhero In tho world Is thero the counterpart of the American volunteer, always ready for the summons of tho government and Invariably suc cessful In tho work set before him. It must bo remembered that our regular urmy Is without a conscript. One Lesson Learned. From tho Ottawa Journal. The opinion has been pretty generally expressed that tho British aro slow to learn a lesson, but the rapidity with which parliament doubled the allowance tor firing practice In the navy showed that tho lesson of the comparative show ing of tho United States navy In the war with Spain with recent tests by British fhipa has been accepted by tho authori ties. Uave Himself Away. From the Chicago Journal. It appears that tho head of tho Philip pine junta is a man named Bray. We sus pected oh much from tho sounds. No Grass for Pingree. From tho Harrlsburg Patriot. It begins to look as If PJngrce will have to join the lamented Coxey, He cannot cet on the erusa anywhure. WHAT THE POETS OETEB. A Cavalry Charge. Hark! Tho rattling roll of tho musketeers And tho runicd drums, and thn rallying cheors, And the rifles burn with a keen desire Like the crackling whips of a hemlock fire, And the slngng shot and tho shrieking shell And tho splintered fire on tho shattered hell, And the great whlto breaths of the can non smoke As the growing guns by batteries spoke; And tho ragged gaps In tho walls of bluo Whcro the Iron surge rolled heavily through, That tho Colonel builds with a breath again As ho cleaves the din with his "Cloto up, mcnl" And tho gronn torn out from tho black ened IIds, And the prayer doled Blow wth tho crlm. son drips, And the beaming look In tho dying eye, As under tho clouds tho stars go by, "But his soul marched on!" tho captain said, For the boy In bluo can never bo dead!

Albert C. Andrews, in Indianapolis Journal. Things That Other People Do. Tho man who does his best to make the world a better place, Whoso heart Is pure, who dares to look his neighbor In the face, Is not tho ono who takes delight in hold ing up to view And scofllns at the foolish things that other people do. Tho man who gains the noble height whcro fame and honor wait Wins no delight from petty spite, he gives no heed to hate, For he has little chanco to reach tho dis tant summit who Gives up his tlmo to smudging things that other people do. I like tho honest man who tries to keep away from sin, I like the man who seeks to rise, but does no wrong to win Tho world U brighter for tho day spent In his presence who Can keep from finding fault with things that other peoplo do.

Minna Irving, In Lcsllo's Weekly. IN NEBRASKA. A few years ago hard times mado tho western farmer deny himself everything savo tho burcst necessities of life. Then camo tho great crop year of 1SD7 and with It a story. A Nebraska farmer carried a mortgage of $1,200 on his property, nnd It was a bur den hard to contend with. Tho wheat crop In 97 was enormous nnd prices were high. Ho appealed at tho bank shortly after tho harvest, pulled out $1,000 nnd asked for a loan of $200 to cnablo him to cancel tho mortgago note. Tho banker, who held the note, urged him not to bother nbout it, but go und buy cattto with his $4,000. feed his corn crop mid in that way get tho maximum for his pro. duct. "No, sir;" replied tho farmer. "I want to pay that note now. Then when I harvest tho corn crop I'm goln' to pay you back that $200 I Just borrowed, and then do you know what I'm going to do?" nnd his honest faco beamed all over with pleasure. "I'm going to buy n buggy!" This lltlo Incident tells tho story of thou sands of others out In Nebraska, and tho fact that during tho past six months ono concern of Chicago has shipped to ono firm In Omaha alono ono hundred and thirty carloads of buggies and carriage's, averaging about 22 to the car, makes It very evident thnt prosperity Is with Ne. braska. It Is a wonderful stato with great resources, and tho crops of the past few years havo put Nebraska farmers In an enviable position. PERSONALITIES.
