Mandeisoii, of Omaha, president of the Ameili-an Har associallon and one of the mot rhnrinliiK men In the t'nl; ted States, lieneral Manderson Is an ex-l'eiins.vlvania, havliiK been for many yeais a resident of Philadelphia, but It Is not believed that he Is pre pared to lellnqtilsh his large business and professional Interests in order to le-enter publle life, from which ho re tiled voltiutatlly. He would, we are Miie. much prefer the nomination of his peisonal friend, Chatles Emory Smith. The Proposed New Trolley Road. CAItUFL'L examination of tho plans of the Cnnnell 1'ark and Speedway Stieet Hallway company and of the ordin nnee pending in common council kIv IiiFT It the light of way to lay certain tracks In a portion of the city not now -ully provided with stieet car facilities discloses nothing upon which to base opposition. Upon its face the ordinance seems fair and candid. It Is a question how prolitable a business can be built up by a street railway company along the loutes con templated in the ordinance. In the summer time a good pati image might be expected on every loute; the pros pect as to winter travel is not so clear. However, if the men back of this new enterprise are willing to take the risk the public can hardly have any rea son to discourage them. They are all old enough to be icsponslble for their actions. Wo attach no Importance to the ar gument that competition In the street railway business in this region would be Injurious. The public Is inteiested In having as good a service as possi ble and frequently competition or the possibility "f It acts as a wholesome stimulus. In the matter now under consideration It Is proper to add that tho direct competition is slight. It would seem that the new company might exist without appreciably affect ing the receipts of the old one. Justice Freed man, of the New York city supremo court, has ruled that a labor union has no right to assess Its members to provide funds with which to pay allowances to men on strike or to pay pickets or agents engaged In prolonging a strike. This is the llrst ruling of the kind on record and it will be appealed. The final voice of the comts upon this Issue will have widespread significance. The Hail Tube Question. AX ITEM In tho postolllce ap propriation bill as originally leported to the house til lowed $725,000 a year for the transportation of mall In cities by pneumatic tubes or similar devices. In lioston. Xew York and Philadelphia, JliiOO a year Is now being spent on a pneumatic arrangement for the quick transmission of mall between the main postotllce and various sub-stations, and the arrangement has worked so satisfactorily that it was Intended to extend It In other large cities when suddenly charges woie made on the floor of the house that the pneumatic tube Item was In tho Interest of u par ticular company composed In part of foimer pdbllc olllclals who were plan ing to enrich themselves at the gov ei indent's expense. In the excitement attending this accusation the house struck out tho entire Item and now effort Is to be made to have the senate restore It. , It Is true that theie Is a pneumatic tube company which Is, largely com posed of foimer officials and which Is anxious to put its patents to profitable account thiough a deal with tho gov ernment. As to'jhe character of Its methods were are not Informed. A reasonable Inference would be that the company Is willing to secure business In tho customary ways, including n lobby at Washington It one should be necessary. There Is nothing oxcep tlonal In this fact nor need It have any weight upon tho question at Issue. That question Is tho value of pneu matic mall tubes to the postal service and it Is one concerning which tho postolllce lcpartment Is tho proper au thority to bo consulted and to exercise discretionary power In the making of any contracts. If the convenience of the public can be advanced and the cost is regarded as reasonable, that should determine the matter. As Gen eral Ultigham observes: "Expedition In tho malls Is tho basis and the secret of Increased revenues. You Hud It running through all the economic questions of today, moio especially In the matter of railroad transportation, appertaining not only to your mall, but In the carriage of freight and In tho carriage of passen gers. If we can movo a letter from one particular seotlon to another and have It nnswerc In the same day, it ,. Ursest contribution that can be made to tho postal service and tho revenue, for tho reason that the de livery of a letter from one section of a city to the other Is the cheapest and most economical, so far ns expense Is concerned, In tho delivery of mall mat ter. In other words, If you give the great cities tho opportunity by expedi tion, whether by mechanical devices or by tho Increase of subordinate force, as all communications go through the mall at tho same into of postage that It costs to transmit a letter from Maine to the state of Washington, you can readily see how local or city letter matter can be handled at minimum cost, for there Is no railroad transpor tation to pay." Tho point at Issue In this matter does not Immediately concern Scran ton, for the reason that If the pneu matic tube system of mull delivery should be adopted It would be many years before the department would np ply It to a city of Scranton's size. Hut the pilnclple Is Important every where and we believe that If discretion as to details shall be vested In the present accomplished postmaster geneial there will be no need to fear that the gov ernment will bo swindled. It Is conceded that tho next legisla ture must elect a I'nlted States' sena tor and that tho man of Its choice will be a party stalwuit. It Pays to He Honest. TTMIf: HPECTACLn of a lead fj inn Clitlstlan nation like the JL fulled States aibitrarlly nullifying a solemn treaty obligation because the compact ha3 ceased to be pleasant Is not a happy one to contemplate, but If the num bers of congress In both houses who are tnglng tho passaRe of the Hepburn N'lcaragua canel bill shall have their o n way, as now seems probable, this will be the spectacle which our highly civilized country Mill soon place before the world's critical observation. The (iayton-liulwer tieaty -which our state depaitment holds Is yet In full force binds us to a partnership with Of-at Britain In any canal which we may sec lit to build on the isthmus ef Datiui. It was a foolish treaty to make, but our government made It, and our present president and secre tary of state, recognizing the urgent nrcil ot an American canal, decided that the honorable way to undo tho niistikc of the past was to have a frank talk with Great Hrltaln and to see on what terms are would be will ing to cancel the old fetteis. They had thin talk -John Hay for tho Unit ed States and aLoul Pauncefote for England and the lcsult of it was a m w treaty which both signed, agiee Ing thnt the United States nluy build and police the Nicaragua canal, but also agTlnff that It should be held at all times neutral and open on cqu.il leims to the ships .of peace and ships of ar of every nation. This pioposl tion coriespondei with our ti.idltlonal position with respect to international watervays; our statesmen hae always stood foi their neutralization, so Presi dent McKlnlcy assented to the Huy Pauncofote, agi cement, and it was sent to the i-entitc for ratification In tho senate, because England just now is unpopular and bcciuise an American presidential election Is near, a number of senators got together and knocked out the noutrallzatlt.n clause, the veiy essence of tho whole treaty and tho condition of Gteat Britain's consent to th abrogation of tho origi nal treaty; and now the house la about to put through a bill of its own, calm ly Ignoilng our tieaty with England and Instructing the president to buy enough land In Central Amei lea to fence the canal in and to run It as a Yankee property from start to finish, "In diplomatic circles," writes Walter Wcllmnn, "theie Is u great deal of feeling on tills subject, and the fires of Indignation aio only smoldering. Anions our fordgn friends tHtloii"il hero tncro Is amazement that the. UnlUd States, champion ot liberty, open drois and Christian .statesman ship, -iiould seilou-.lv propose such a repudiation of an intcrrational tieaty. Among Amei leans who have sufficient knowledge ot the situation to appre ciate tho seriousness of tho tilsls and the danger tho nation may mi ur of losing the confidence and friendship of other poW'-is there, is a slnci-re hopo that some better way out of the dilem ma may b found.'' It is tiue that when congress passed the Chlncuo exclusion act 11 rode rough shod over the most sacred treaty cove nants with China, but China was weak and Oieat Itiltuln Is not. The English might, owing to tnulr South African tioubles, refrain from answetlng im mediately such an act of bad faith as Its character would descivo, but Ger many, Franco and nth'i: nations, with all of whom we aie hal:-.? daily more and more to do. w.iulrt not fall to make a note should wo put bofoie them an example of unrelieved penldy; and our "open dooi" pledges as to China would not be woith tho paper they nro wtltten on. It puyu to be honest. Governor General Wood Is cleansing tho Cuban courts by decapitating tho judges who take bribes. His power Is absolute and ho Is using it unsparing ly. Hut what would Cuba do without a Wood? Land Titles In Luzon. UNDER Article 8 of the treaty of Paris, Spain cedes all public pioperty In the Phil ippines to tho United States, but It is declured that thocesslon stipu lated "shall In no way affect tho pi op. erty rights accorded by custom or law to the peaceful holders of goods of uny sort In the provinces, cities, public or private establishments, civil or ecclesi astical corporations or any other col lectivity which has any legal right to ncqulro goods or rights In tho ceded or abandoned territory." Tho word "custom" as hero used opens a wide door to contioversy, especially In view of the fact that largo holdings of prop erty by tho monastic orders rest upon no discoverable title but huve simply represented the liberality or com placency of tho Spanish civil olllclals. How will tho new Philippine commis sion untie this knbt? In the Chicago! Record Mr. W. E, Curtis gives what purports to be a resume of tho ollUial Instructions to the commission. These have not been made public, hence the accuracy ot Mr. Curtis' resume Is n matter of faith! but wc reproduce It for what It Is worth. The Instructions arc, he says, to determine what portion of tho lands nnd property In question actually be long to the icllglous orders by pur chase or preemption at an eatly date, and to that they will be given a clear title and undisputed possession; but all property that has been merely occu pied by them without the passing of a title will bo declared public property nnd tho revenues will be collected for the benefit of tho government Instead of for the church. Hofore the occups tlon of tho Philippines by tho United States army a considerable nmount of this property was conveyed by the civil governor to the archbishop or to the prlois of the seyeral religious or deis. Those transfers will not be rec ognized because It Is evident that thiy were made in order to deprive the United Stales of Its rightful posses sions. Accoidlng to Mr. Curtis, the Instruc tions of tho secretary of war to the commission are to treat tho church ex actly as it Is treated in this country, and Mr. Hoot Is said to have quoted for their benefit that article of the con stitution which declares that congress shall make no laws respecting religion or Interfering with tho freedom of worship, Tho commission Is to govern Itself accordingly nnd leave tho chuich to attend to the spiritual affairs of the community without Interference or en couragement, protection or resistance from the civil authorities. All church pioperty not actually used for pur poses of worship or education Is to be tnxed like any other real estate, as It is In Hie United States. Churches and school houses, hospitals, asylums and other benevolent Institutions arc to be exempted, but no exemption Is to be made In favor ot the residences of thi religious orders nor the plantations or other pioperty whoso revenues havo been applied to the support of churches and schools. If the friars refuse to pay taxes the same remedies will be ap plied as in the United States. After a stated period public notice of delin quent taxes will be made and the property will be sold. Theto is to be no Interference In any manner with tho parish schools, but no contribu tions arc to be made from the publle treasury for their support. The com missioners are to use their discretion as to what assistance shall be fur nished by the government to charitable Institutions under the earo of the chuich. Thnt question cannot be arbi trarily settled in Washington. No re ligion is to bo taught In the public schools and no school In which re ligion Is taught Is to receive aid from the publle treasury. In view of tho political misunder standings nnd frictions possible in con nection with so delicate a subject, the policy here outlined, If It Is the one which the war department has adopted, lpllles a good deal of backbone and courage, but It is generally believed that Ellhu Hoot is a man who pos sesses both. At the National Mothers' congress, which Is to meet In Des Moines May 17, Mrs. Hannah K. Schoff, of Phila delphia, will unfold a plan for the state control of charities based upon a cat ef ul study of existing! defects in the management of charitable insti tutions. Tho paper will be awaited with Interest by students of the hu manities. COAL PRODUCTION. This Country Now the Greatest Pro ducer of Coal In the World. From the Journal of Commerce.

W HKS" Isaac Van Alphen, the postmaster (ten ral of the Transvaal and a warm (riend o( "Oom Paul," was in this country in attend ance on the Postal congress, he had an amusing experience which he still likes to relcr to, relates the Saturda) Kvening Tost. Walking arm in arm with a friend mar the I'ennsvlvania station In Baltimore one dsj, the distinguished (oreigner was approached bj a policeman, who announced that Van Alphen had been ordered to appear be (oie the coiomr to act as a Juror. "By what authority do you ask this!" "By the authority o( the state ot Mar) land." "I "acknowledge no such authoilty." said an Alphen, tho humor of the situation breaking upon him. "You acknowledge no such authority!" re peatcd the policeman with r.nwement. "What do j'ou mean?" "Well." announced Mr. Van Alphen nonchil nntly, "I am a resident o( Pretoria in the South African renublle, and I don't acknowledge the nnthenlj of the state of Marjland in this in tljiice." "Pietoria, South African republic!" echoed the policeman, puzzled for a moment, but finally he begged Mr. Van Alphen's paidon and walked awaj-, ta)lng audibly, "Well, )Ou'rc about the whitit 'coon' I ever taw," Made a Hit with His Audience. f Ni: Or the really good stories is going around among the lawjers about Congre-s-man Llltli field, relates tho Lcwistown Journal. 'Tvvas when the congressman was stumping in his campaign. It was up in a Franklin county town. The chairman of the committee wan'ed to give Charles a good send-off, and so he said: "I.adics and gentlemen, this is Hon. (Jharl'S I!. MttlcftVUI, who Is known from Kastport to ork as the one great oiator of Maine. This, fellow citizens, is Hen. Charles Mttlclcld. who will talk to jou from the setting ot th sun mill the ruing up thereof." Applause. Then up rises Charles and darts a (alcon glance at the chaliman and another as piercing at the aidlence.

W' IIL'N Lord Kitchener Joined the Bojal En gineers, now nearly thirty jears ago, he was a tall, Bliin. veiy handsome joi.ng man, sajs the New lork Telegiaiu. Tho foimer Sirdar did not at first take to the army, but hail seilous thoughts ol going on the stage, and was "lie daj, while in London, Introduetd by a lorn rade to the late George Hcni). Young Kltihener consulted George on the subject of his histrionic ambition. Honey looked critically at the officer, and remarked: "I could get jou an engagement In five min utes as a walking gentleman, but, let me tell jou, jou'd be better off as n sapper in the en gineers " Then, very serlouslj-, Honey gave the other an Insight Into the seamy side of an actor's life, and finished with advice, "Stick to the arinj-, Mr, Kitchener; It's a belter shop than the boards." Had Kitchener cut tho service and Joined the "profession" hlslcry might have Imcu differently written. The Fate That Awaits Him. A CCOnDlNfi to the Liverpool Post a local firm, leing delighted at the idea that one of its emplojcs was callec' up to join the i,i scrvrs, at once volunteered to pay half his wages fo Ids wife in bis altence. At the end of the month the weman aipcarcd, and the moiety was at once trlven to her. "What?" she said, "bur poundl" "Yea," replied the senior partner, "that is exactly half j sorry you arc not satisfied." "It isn't that I'm rot aatlsfied; why, tor years he has told me hi only got 10 shilling al together, ard and If the Boers don't kill him I will," Informal in His Responses. C OMFJ anecdotes about the late Duke of Cam bridge recorded In the Memoirs ot the Duch ess of Teck, lately published in England, are among the most entertaining things in a not Im portant boolr, The Duke was a strong church man, and, in Ms simple waj-, very religious, but, as a (riend of Ida Hojal Highness used tp say, 'hl religion sometimes took rather an incon ventlonal.forro." He would frequently v.nuie ROSTAND. audible rrmirks when the scrvlic was In prog ress. On one occasion, after the usual exhorta tion, "bet us pray," tho Duke was heard to replj-, "By all means." During a very dry rummer the vitar read the prajer for rain; at the close tho Duke joined (erveutlj- In the "Amen," adding, in exactly the same tone of volio, "but wc shan't get it till the wind ihanges." Again, on hearing tho text, "For we brought nothing into tho world, neither may we cairy anjthlng out," he ejaculated, "Tiue, true too many calls upon us for that." His Example Was Premature.
