Secretary Long.
V A.N KASTHKN man Is to he
nominated for vlce-piesldent at
the Philadelphia national con
vention. It seem.i now to be well
issuied that the cholee will fall on
Ither Postmaster General Smith or
Heeietary John D. Loiifr. Mr. Long Is
a candidate In his own name and with
the active support of the delegation
from his own state; Mr. Smith Is the
candidate of those who recognize his
exceptional fitness for the place, but
he has not pressed his own claims nor
Is the Pennsylvania Hepubllcan organ
ization pressing them for him.
We are committed to Mr. Smith's
cause for reasons which have been
fully sot forth in those columns. Wo
consider not only that he possesses In
a pre-eminent degree the pocull'ir com
bination of qualities and accomplish
ments reiiulrod In the occupmit of the
vlce-prcsidontlal olllce and that the
country's iccognltlon of his worth
would mi widen during the course of
the eamnalgn that his nomination
Mould bring strength to the ticket in
every pait of the theater of battle; but
also that the magnificent loyalty of
Pennsylvania to Republican principles
as oNhlbltod In unwavering devotion at
the polls and the great pait which her
Industries and business men are play
ing in Ihe pfaetlcul development of
American expansion fairly entitle the
state and city in which the conven
tion Is to assemble to contribute to the
national ticket the one ' nominee not
in edetei mined. From this proposition
we shall not budge until the last bal
lot has been counted. It Is an atti
tude in which wo should have the
earnest support of every Pennsylvania
Republican, as we alieady have of
thousands of discriminating Republi
cans In other states who appreciate
the force of Pennsylvania's claim and
marvel that Pennsylvaiilans them
selves do not press It with more spir
ited dotounlnation.
Hut It gives us pleasure ato recognize
In Secretary Long a competitor of no
mean ualil!cal!ous. As an orator he Is
not the equal of (.'hallos Ninoiy Smith
few men aie. Yet ho is a good talker,
a clear, logical and pleasing talker; a
man who never talks without con
ti Uniting to the sum of human infor
mation and Instruction. He Is also a
good .secretary of the navy, so good
that If Piesident 'McKinley Is wise ho
will not let him swap jobs. In the
Sampson-Schley, matter he was both
film and light. Ho might have gone
a little further and treated Schley to a
court-martial; in that matter ho erred,
If at all, on the wide of leniency; but
let that pass. We don't believe that
John li. Kong has had as thorough a
pieparatloii for the delicate duties of
the vleo-piesldency as Mr. Smith has.
He was never minister to Russia. lie
has never brought to success a great
newspaper enterprise. He is not so
widely acquainted among tho leading
men In public life. Still, he Is a line
man, and the party would accept him
cheerfully, but the nominee should and
we hope will be Charles Kmory Smith.
.i
Jpsueral Otis will not come home to
iiu no ompaulmcnt of red lire nnd sky
rockets; but one day history will do
justice to his tireless Industry, patience

part of Manila.
Practical Education.
-HK I-HTTKR which Secro-
r
I
tary Root has addressed to
President Kllot of Harvard
university in recognition of
tho preparations which Harvard is
making to entertain nnd to Instruct in
American ivnys during the summer
month!) the large party of native Cu
ban teachers whom tho war depart
ment is to bring to this country for
educational purposes is a. model ot
both well-directed courtesy and
straight-forward thinking clothed In
dean English.
"I do not think," tho secretary
writes, "you are in eny danger of over
estimating tho importance of the thing
you are about to do. I visited many
schools when in Cuba this spring, and
I was much impressed by the bright
ness and Intelligence of tho children
who wero crowding in for instruction
under the new regime and of the
natlvo teachers who had been already
employed. It is great raw material
for education, and nothing ran bo
clearer than our duty nt least to start
uie process along tight lints, it would
have been a poor boon to Cuba to
drive the Spaniards out nnd lcnv.e her
to care for herself, with two-thirds
of her pcoplo unable to read nnd write
and wholly Ignorant of the art of
self-government, and without any
political system under which tho
peaceable, home-loving' majority of her
people could find an opportunity to
take part In the government. Irutead
of that, we are trying to give the
Cuban people Just as fair and favor
able a start In governing themselves
as possible nnd to help them to avoid
the conditions which have subjected
Haytl, San1 Domingo and the Central
American republics to continuous revo
lution nnd disorder,
"The Cubans nre behaving admir
ably, nnd I have great hopes for them.
Tho great difficulty with which they
have to contend is that they have had
no experience in anything except
Spanish customs n'nd Spanish meth
ods which have grown up for centu
ries under a system opposed to gen
eral education and to self-government.
To succeed in their experiment tha
Cubans must necessarily acquire some
new ideas and new methods. That is
a very hard thing for a whole peoples
to do, and it cannot be dona by hav
ing outsiders preach to them. It In
something that they have to do them
selves. The best that anybody elsa
can do Is to afford them opportunity
of seeing and studying new methods.
The greatest opportunity that has yet
been suggested for tho accomplish
ment of this necessary work is the
bringing of these 1,4,"0 teachers to
Massachusetts- to see for themselves
tho University of Harvard and the in
stitutions and life of the state, and
to explain to them what they seo and
Its healing upon their work for the
education of their own countrymen.
I believe that this body of teachers
going back after their experiences
here, nnd scattering into every munlcl
jallty in Cuba, will carry back more
saving grace for peaceful and prosper
ous Cuba than the whole power of
tho government could accomplish in
any other way."
This Is without doubt the truest
thing that has been written of Cuba.
It puts volumes Into a stickful.
Since Mnrch 1. 1S97. nearly 100,000
rural homos In all parts of the United
States have received fiee delivery of
mall, thanks to the present energetic
management of the postofllce depart
'mont. Chailes Kinory Smith would run
well among these citizens.
" Carpet Bag Government. "
O SYSTEM has been devised
by man which will pi event
dishonesty. It is a humil
iating circumstance, the
sluino of which is fell by every Amer
ican citizen, that niiiong the carefully
picked employes of tho independent
postal snrvlec which our government
has t-ot up In Cuba with great care
as an objei't lesson for the natives
weie some capable of entering Into a
conspiracy to steal funds which were
in their trust;, but such experiences
are not uncommon; they occur with
frequency In the most thoroughly man
aged private business Institutions;
banks, tiust companies, stores and In
dustries all have to run a certain
moaiire, of tlsk with the Imperfect hu
man Instiuinents which they employ;
the best that can be done Is to use
every possible piecautlon and to let
no guilty man escape.
It was to be expected that the first
slip discovered in the discharge by
representatives of our government of
their fiduciary relations towaid the
people of our new dependencies would
be seized upon with ghoulish glee by
opponents of the administration nnd
put to use as weapons against tho pol
icy of expansion; and the expected
bus happened. Tho Philadelphia Led
ger win the fiist to generalize pessi
mistically f i oni one bad particular Its
the conduct of affairs In Cuba, and
soon Its chorus of despair will be
swelled by the voices of every oppo
nent of Republicanism. "Theoretical
ly," says the Ledger, "there should be
no moie dlfHculty In managing postal
affairs in a colony than In our own
country, tho systems of keeping and
auditing accounts being the same, but
In practice tho government is likely
to find a different class of men seek
ing colonial appointments from those
who got employment at their homes.
The sli.'k carpet bag politician does
not go to a distant land for any other
purpose than to make money as quick
ly as possible, and hence the colonial
service administered by a nation of
politicians Is almost certain to bo
woise than the similar service nt
home. Croat Rritaln has been suc
cessful with her colonics, but Great
Britain dors not permit politics to
control or even influence her civil ser
vice. Tho men sent out to her colo
nies may look forward to a tenure of
olllce during good behavior; they have
an Incentive to honest and faithful
labcr in the hopo of promotion, and
where their location is not agreeable
may, if they have done their work
well, obtain a transfer to more agree
able surroundings. Our colonies are
not likely to be governed in any such
fashion. Politics will control tho ap
pointments, and the seekers ot colo
nial berths will bo those who cannot
get anything ns good at home. Their
tenure will be uncertain, and many of
them will bo tempted to make money
quickly, that upon their return they
may bo more or less independent of
government favor. The embezzlement
in the postal department of Cuba is an
indication of what we may expect to
becomo a frequent item of news when
we shall get carpet bag governments
fully established in our island posses.
Glons."
As a matter of fact, taking into ac
count the necessity for haste In (or
ganizing a postal service in Cuba
which resulted from tho speed with
which war problems of great magnl
tudo were accumulated beyond any
man's control, tho selections ot men
for responsible positions in the Cuban
postal service wore made with a great
deal nioro than the ordinary care, and
Postmaster Oeneral Smith has put! on
record the fact that politics had noth
ing whatever to do with Influencing
appointments. Wen were pickled out In
virtue of their exceptional fitness as
demonstrated in tho servico records,
N
in ths Indorsement of reputable friends
of both parties, and in their general
appearance ond mnnner of doing bus
iness. This man Neeley, tho alleged
chief cmbcrtlcr, had Indorsements of
a character which would have secured
h!s employment by any private em
ployer in the country needing a man
quickly and having to take one on the
word of others until such time as per
sonal study of subordinates could
qualify, the employer to do his own
picking. No more surptlsod set of men
arc to be found In the United Htatcs
than the immediate friends and nclitli
bors of Net-ley In Indiana, who have
known hlrn Intimately nil their lives
and who would have trusted him with
their last cent.
It is easy to cry "carpet bag gov
ernment," but It Is not easy to find
perfect men. Certainly tho adminis
tration, which has to bear tho brunt
of the responsibility for the way af
fairs are administered in Cuba, Porto
Rico and tho Philippines, would be
foolish If It put men In lcsponslble
places who were not believed at the
time to be the best that it could se
cure. At the head of the "carpet bag
government" In Cuba Is a man whose
record for honesty, efficiency, ability
and courage Is as clean as a hound's
tooth; and the disinterested testimony
of all intelligent observers Is that upon
the whole the men associated with
h'm nre of like character. In every
group of picked men there are some
who are susceptible to temptation, and
no means have been contrived yet to
determine In advance who are charac
terproof nnd who ore not. That test
has to be made In the crucible of ac
tual experience. There is no other
wav.
Tho lldellty of the government to
its trust will be exhibited in the steps
which it shall take to bring the guilty
to justice and to strengthen weak
places as tjiey develop. By this 'vlll
it stand or fall.

CHINA'S FOREIGN TRADE.
China's foreign trade, and especially her trade
with (lie United Slates, deelopcd cty rapidly
in l&on, as is shown by a statement Just re
ceived by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics. The
statement in question, from the "Kcturns of
Trade" by the Imperial Maritime Customs Sir
lice of China, thows especially rapid develop
ment in the section where railways have re
cently been opened. The following are extracts
from the report In question:
"The foreign trade of China during the year
1S90 was characterized by an astonishing develop
ment, and merchants, uoth foreign and natho,
inado handsome profits In almost every branch.
The political situation, aitnough still unsettled,
gave rUe to no Immediate fears; exchange ic
malned remarkably steady; the rice crop was
abundant; the spring weather during the critical
period for the silkworms was wnusually favor
able; and, except for a recrudescence ot piracy
on the West river, there were no disturbances
to check trade. Tho gratifying result wai tliat
the year beat all previous records and showed
an advanco without precedent. Tho total trade
was alucd at 400,533,238 haikwan taels 'tho
average value ot tho Haikwan tael was $1,118 in
lb'JO, $0,037 in 1S9S, and $0.2 in 1S99), a rise
of 91,010,803 haikwan taels In 1803, and more
than double the figures for 1800.
"The internal trade of the country was also
unusually brisk, and the important rhanges
which will bo brought about by the extension
of railways have already been proved. Xcvvchwang
and Tietsin have promptly responded to tho stim
ulus ot better means of communication, and
the trade of those, ports has leaped forward, al
though the former suffered from a severe out
break of tho plague. It Is found that immedi
ately trains begin io run, districts through which
there was little traffic, such as between I'aotlng
and Pekin, suddenly commence to hum with life
and activity, and there springs up a flourishing
trade which was formerly undreamt of and im
possible for want ot cheap transport. The llus
sian lins has been completed s far north as
Moukdcn, and the extraordinary richness of Man
churia will soon become evident. The I.u-lljn
railway, from Pekin to Hankow, makes steady
progress. Within six months It Is expected that
trains will be running as far south as Chlngting.
The difficulties in the southern section, where
extensive tunneling Is required, mika construc
tion slower there, but rails have been laid for
forty kilometres northwards from Hankow, the
track is now being made as far as Slnyan to
which place it Is hoped to run trains within two
years and the whole line ot 1,200 kilometres
in to bo completed in five years. Including the
difficult engineering feat of bridging tho Yellow
river. The lino between Taku, Tientsin and Pe
kin continues to advance in prosperity, and tho
extension beyond Shanhalkvvan towards New
chwang will shortly be connected by rail with
the capital. Difficulties regarding the question
of control are hampering the concessionaries ot
various other lines, but It is to be hoped that
these will soon bo satisfactorily arranged, as
there is no longer any doubt that the effect ot
ciifap transport will lead to an enormous devel
opment of China's trade,
"The net value of the Import trade was 281,.
748,156 haikwan taels, being an advanco of 63,
169,122 haikwan taels over the previous year and
doul;lc the figures for ISM. The trade
in cotton goods, which had remained practically
stationary for threo J cam. made a great advance,
the value having risen from 77,018,821 haikwan
taels to 103,403,043 haikwan taels. It would be
tedious to particularise all tho gains, but every
article mentioned in tho table of Imports, witli
the exception of grey shirtings (Insignificant de

ringlish )arn, were Imported in quantities ex
ceeding the figures for 1S91. As regards the
falling off in T-clotln. It Is explained that their
place is taken by what arc generally known In
tho trade as 'Continental', which arc i.u-luied
In our returns under the heading of sheetings.
Knglish sheetings show an advance from "i!,
300 to 703,702 pieces, and the increase mint be
ascribed partly to Continentals ami paitly to the
higher prices which prevailed in the United
States. American sheetings rose again, from
2,4S3,99t to 3,973,00 pieces.
"The feature most worthy ot note was the
continued advance of American and Japancc
goods, the latter especially showing ny rapid
development. The class of white shirtings now
imported is greatly superior to what came for
merly, the people demanding a belter article. It
is worth noticing, as evidence of prosperity, that
what may be described nt cotton goods de luxe.
Such as chintzes, printed twills, cambrics, etc.,
and handkerchiefs, Jumped from 303,314 to 078,
336 dozens. Cotton flannel showed a remarkable
Increase, from 143,883 to 397,400 pieces, anil
Japanese cotton flannel from 60,833 to 176,070
pieces. Kngllth cotton yarn suffered n filling
off, while Indian and Japanese increased, the
latter have now risen to 779,700 piruls. It is
probable that the local mills will gradually get
Ihe better ot their foreign rivals. The jam
made from Chlncae cotton is much whiter than
the Indian yarn and obtains better prices, which
explains why Japan imports raw cotton from
China to mix with Indian. Woolen goods, though
not showing such a promising progress as the
cotton goods, made a distinct advance, camlets,
lastlngs, long ells and blankets all having in
creased. The metal trade remains inelastic and
the total taluo was slightly below that of the
previous year.
"The value of the exports was estimated at
103,784,832 haikwan taels, an increase of 30,747,
6S.1 haikwan taels over the previous years' total,
and, as in the case of Imports, mors than double
the figures for 1890. In view of the frt that
railways are now opening up districts previou-vly
cut off from communication with ports, it is
fairly safe to predict that in less than another
ten jears the trade will have again doubled,
llxports are at present checked by price and in
ferior quality the former duo to cost of car
riage ami heavy taxation, the latter to adultera
tion or faulty methods of preparation for foreign
markets. Prices will como down when railroads
bring the goods more cheaply to the ports and
increase the supply."
