Pecretjuy Root's recent remark that the United .States might soon have to light for the Monroe doctrine and ought to be ready to accept any chal lenge that comes Is substantially re Iteiated by Senator Lodge, who ap peals to have no doubt whatever that a u.ir with Get ninny Is more than pos sible. These men are not mere alarm ists. H Is safe to assume that they Kpciw what they are talking about and have Grounds for what they say. Con gress must not lag in the work of navy building. The Woes of Wannmaker. THE UK IS NO ipason to sup pose that John Wanamakoi'.s version of what took placo In the intei view between him and Director of Public Safety English states the farts to his own disadvant age. Mr. English's version states them somow hat differently, but by averag ing the two versions we llnd thjit Eng lish did visit Wanamaker to protest at the abusive courseof Son Wannmaker's North Amei lean, and that In the com so of the conversation English took occa sion to notify tlie senior Wanamaker that the l.Uter's record had been looked up and found vulnerable, the inference being that Its vulnerability might, if necessary, be exposed. It was n foolish move to make. The director of public safety should have known better. He should have known that Wanamaker's lelations toward the newspaper pi ess of Philadelphia would not be likely to permit a report of the Incident to leach the public free from coloring or prejudiced comment. 'Ho should have known that tho Wana maker millions aie probably potent in securing In behalf of their possessor an exemption from criticism which would not exist in the case of a poor man with a similar record. He should not have given a man like John Wana maker the chance to bid for sympathy by posing before the people as n pious martyr to high principle. Rut now that the error has been made, what of those alleged alllilavlts? Suiely a man who Is so pione as Is Mr. Wanamaker to comment sarcastically upon the shortcomings tof his fellow men, nnd who Is so fiee nnd geneious in hurling stones of censure at others who stand In his way or thwart his Imperious will, can not object to having his own record placed In detail before the public. He is not an ordinary citi zen In the pioperly protected seclusion of private life but a chief fugleman of political put ideation and reform, whose hali) Is necessarily before the public for amlnntion. Let Diiector English make public whit he knows concern 'ng the genuineness of that halo. He certainly has pt avocation. It Is alleged that this man Neely, who Is mixed up In the Cuban postal f i amis, exhibited the Instincts of a ilnancier when, after a lecent visit to tho states, he' turned In an expenre account of $lS00,lncludlng hotel chaiges at the rate of $30 a day. Hut let us at least bo fair enough to Neely to glvo him the opportunity of defence. The public thus far has heard only one side. Pure Food. WHAT IS KNOWN ns the Rroslus pure food bill has again come before congress, having Just been reported favotably fiom the house committee 'on interstate and for eign commeice. Us Intent is to pro vide a means for the protection of opsumeis against tho adulteration of food products entering Into interstate commerce, nnd Its provisions seem to have been drawn with much care. It establishes ih connection with the ngricultuial department ,a chemical 'buwau which- is to have charge of the' (Inspection and teat of food pro j.diwls,, vender certain restrictions; and .it rtiqulres that every product offered -for sale which Is transported from one state Into another shall bo marked wwlth Its true name, with due penalty for violations. The committee leport says of the measure: "It does not In terfere with nny legitimate trade or industry, or prohibit the use of nny -product whatever so long as that pro duct hus not been duly adjudged In ""Jurjous.. to health by an Impartial com mftHldril It lifts un Immcnso burden froin the shoulders of the ictaller, who, under existing state laws, Is made to bear the buiden of the wrongdoing of men outside his state who sell to him. It icrmits him to secure a cer tificate of purity from the men from jvhoni he purchases, and this enables the agent of tho government to fol low to Its fountain head the mis branded product and biing the penal ties for v;olatlons of tho proposed law upon tho head of the guilty man, and not upon tho Innocent druggist or the modest corner grocerymsn," The agricultural department after an exhauitlvo investigation estimates that tho amount of fraudulent ftdul- terntlon rirnctlcecl In the food pro ducts Bold In the United States ex ceeds IS per cent., of which 2 per cent. Ik Injurious. If It bo assumed tllat our 75,000,000 population consume on an average only J2 worth of food, drugs and liquors a weak npleee, hero Is $7,800,000,000 nnnunlly, 15 per cent, of Which shows $1,170,000,000 worth of cheating, nnd 2 per cent, of which Blvea $150,000,000 worth of chemlcnlly Injurious cheating In The nation's food bill. It should be stopped. A three-fifths mnjorlty of the com mittee on the Itinerancy of the Metho dist lOpIscopul general conference favors the abolition of the time limit of the pastorate and will, It Is said, so teport. This does not mean that the confer ence will uccept the report without amendnunt. There will no doubt be a battle loyal when the main question conies up for general debate. Hut the trend of opinion seems to be ngnlns; the time limit, nltough by most disin terested observers Its abolition would be regarded as a long step away from one of the institutions which hhs largely contributed vitality and indi viduality to Methodism. The Hope of the South. " T HK OTHER DAY there con vened at Charlotte, N C, a body of men likely to wield fnr-renchlng Influence upon the future development of the southern states. Wo allude to tho Southern Cot ton Spinners' association, COO In num ber, and, although only four yeais old, already repiesentatlvc of half a billion dollars of capltnl, which Is rapidly finding piofltnble employment In the textile industry In tho south. Tile proceedings of this association are not In detail calculated to Inteiest tho general public but In tho ripening address of the president occurred a passage which possesses public inter est. After cogratulatlng the associa tion upon the large attendance nt the convention, he went on to say: "A long period of depression Is at an end, "every industiy is prospering; every man who can work and will work can llnd employment nt good wages. Money Is easy, the finances of the country are on a sound and safe basl, confidence Is lestored, a bright future awaits us, and we may confi dently look for a period of industrial development unequaled In the history of this country. It gives us great pleasure to give you a cordial welcome ai all our meetings. There' will be no division of territory, no Mason and Dixon's line, with the manufacturers. We are all toegther in one common In tel est nnd one common cause. We arc endeavoring to convert the raw ma terial into manufactured products and to find a good market in foreign coun tries. Our exiHiit trade alone with the empire of China, without any organ ized efforts on bur part, will exceed $2.",000,000. Wo should favor and urge a permanent and vigorous policy on the part of our general government In favor of the 'open door' policy with China, and we should hold and govern the riiillppinf Islands, which are des tined to become the dlstilbutlng center of tho Eastern world, and make our countiy the center of Eastern civiliza tion. I hope to see this association take decided action on this, question of public policy. "The great hope of the South is in its manufactures. We ask for no class legislation. With extended commercial relations with foreign countiics, new teirltoiy opened before us, wo can plant our pioducts wherever our flag floats, and successfully compete with the world. We should give strong ex pressions in favor of appropriations by the state governments for building and maintaining textile schools. There nre many things we could do for our oper ativesmake tenement houses comfort able, adopt improved sanitary and ven tilation regulations, build chuiches nnd schools, and provide libraries. We should do all In our pover to erect a high standaid of morals, and elevate and dignify labor." These ate true words. They aie fraught with weighty Import to tho people of the southern states. Refore an association of bankers the other day Carroll D. Wright showed by the statistics of savings banks that habits of thrift are steadily growing, notwithstanding fluctuations in pros perity. In 1892, the year before the Inst depression, the average amount duo each depositor In the savings banks of the country was $3.'S.0; in 1893, $369.Gri; In 1891, $2G.'.S6; a decrease of less than $1; wlille in 1S9.' tho amount rose to $371.30; In 189G, to $370.50; In 1S97, to $372.SS: in 1S98, to $383.51, laiger than any preceding year In the history of savings banks, while In 1899 it was $392.13, larger than at any other period. In twenty years In Now York stato de posits in savings banks Increased from $353,000,000 to $887,000,000, almost treble, or nn average annual gain of $6,600,000. Other states make a blmllar showing. More than nny other nation the Ameri can people possess the Midas touch. The American minister to Turkey has been granted an indefinite leave of ab sence, and by all the rules of the gaino the Turkish minister at Washington ought to accept this as a hint to go homo In a passion; but he simply unities and hangs on. Meanwhile, the sultan gives no signs of an Intention to pay the old account that he owes us and tho authorities at Washington deny that they havo contemplated making a forcible collection. Fortun ately patience Is un American accom plishment. In the ten years of Its' existence the American society for tho extension of university teaching has carried Instruc tion, to n continually widening circle. Lust year. In Pennsylvania nnd parts of Connecticut, New Yoik, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland, It maintained 95 full lecture courses, consisting of 559 lectures, delivered to an aggregate at tendance of 127,470 persons. Tho alue of this work Is inestimable, It lsnnnounced that Captain (Carter, who swindled tho government out of $2,000,000, has been detailed at the Leavenworth army prison for duty ns ' a clerk at headquarters, "which Is tho most agreeable position that can be found for him." Hy all means let Car ter be made comfortable. Ills genius for sin is entitled to due recognition. Great stress is placed in Philippine reports upon the harmonious relations existing between the army and the navy. The fact that General Young has complimented Captnln McCnlla ls telegraphed far and wide, as If it was without piecpdent for a land oiTlcer to be decent to a seaman. We wonder why this Is. And now the Tanner men, having been falily walloped In open conven tion, are threatening to defeat Senator Cullom, the majority's choice, by dead locking the next Illinois legislature In tho Dave Martin, 13111 Fllnn style. Under tho lesson of tho Quay vote they can do It and remain respectable. Senator Penrose Is entirely correct in his theory that the big steel plants at Uethlehem and Craddocks arc not de pending for their existence upon drib let government orders for nrmor plate. The contrary Idea Is p. hallucination which congress should abandon. Professor Hclnrlch Dietzol Is the latest European savant to predict the downfall of tho United States. Heln rich is alarmed at the growth of our exports. Considering that he lives In a competing country, this is not alto gether surprising. Edward Lauterbach's determination to fight the Roer war in the Philadel phia convention should cause Edward's friend3 to give him some good advice. Tho sale of postage stamps in the last quarter ran $2,144,000 -beyond the highest previous record, another proof that prosperity is leally here. The Roer campaign is evidently now being conducted on the principle that "he who lights and runs away may live to. light another day." USEFUL FOR REFERENCE.

Washington Uieu) bf Topics of the Day Special Correspondence of The Tribune. Washington, May 13. Neither the general reader nor the tourist who may travel through our new possessions can form any nccuratc con ception of the amount and variety of the sub jects that engage the constant attention of the executive forces emplojed In the government ot our Insular possessions. The Spanish govern ment, It government it may be called, for cen turies had moulded their customs and habits, and was paternal In the sense that it did not hesitate to Interfere with personal liberty, and looked upon Its subjects not so much as moral agents as creatures whose chief end was to pay taxes and obey the laws ot a crushing, grinding, hungry, Iniquitous representative of the king. Vice was made to pay taxes, and indeed was encouraged, as long as there was any money In it for the authorities. Lotteries flourished in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, and the profits from this source were counted on as a regular income. Drawings were frequent, and hakweis of tickets infested the street corners, hotels, cafes, and even the portals of churches. These Institutions were openly advertised in the press and with flaming posters, creating the Impression that there was a short, sure, sate road to fortune. All this has been changed. Tapers giving space to lottery advertisements are forbidden the mails. The unholy business has been put under ban, and this form of gambling that bad nourished for over three hundred years under the fostering care of Spain bad been stopped. Oambllng has also been made the subject of general orders by the military governors In the insular possessions, and constant efforts are made to suppress it, and they have succeeded in driving it into the dark, so that it no longer, as In days gone by, flaunts itself openly, inviting the passer-by to venture his money on the turn of a card. The brutal, bloody bull fight has also been forbidden, and will soon be only a memory among the people who owe their de liverance from this relic of pagan Rome to American occupation. Orders have been issued also looking to the protection of animals, a sen tlment that needs much cultivation among peo ple whose ideas of mercy have been derived from Spanish sources. By general orders pro mulgated respectively in Cuba, Porto Rleo and the Philippines, the laws relating to marriage have been so changed that the ceremony per formed by S priest or minister of any Christian church, or by certain civil officers. Is consid ered valid In law, and the expense hitherto con nected with such ceremony has been so reduced that the poor can no longer plead poverty as an excuse for the Irregular customs that have been ro prevalent among a large class of the population. These measures, and Indeed many others that might be mentioned, are moulding sentiment, creating a higher standard of official Integrity, and preparing the Insular possessions for better things, both In social life and in public busi ness. It is a record that, when seen through the vista of coming jears, will be somithlng of which America can be proud. nrunswick, Maine, a place of about 7,000 In habitants, is probably the first municipality in the United States to undertake forest planting on a large 6cale, or what is practically the Old World institution of a town forest. The town owns a tract of about 1,000 acres of what was once pine land, but long tincc given over to fire and huckleberries. At a recent meeting of the council $100 was appropriated to im prove this laud by planting It to whrtc pine. Seed will be purchased and a nursery estab lished to raise the young trees. At the right age they will be transplanted in rows and set out in the positions they will finally occupy, and will then require little more care except protection from fire. The land at present is absolutely unproductive. If the new plan is successful it will not only be ornamental but profitable. Town forests arc common in Ku rope und often furnish a large part of the mu nicipal revenue. , Tree planting for an unusual purpose has been recommended to residents of the western irri gation districts by W. L. Hall, assistant su perintendent of tree planting of the division of forestry, who has recently been in New Mexico on an investigation. Agriculture in that region depends largely on irrigation, and the streams and reservoirs arc much depleted by evaporation due to the heat and dry winds. Mr. Hall recommends that belts of trees be planted along every ditch and reservoir, not only to shade them, but to shelter them from the wind. The problem of preventing evaporation Is very important, not only on account of the loss of water, but because the percentage of alkali in the quantity remaining becomes excessive. The University of the South, at Bewance, Tennessee, has placed its 8,000-acre tract of hardwood timber near that town under the man agement of the division of forestry. An official of the division will mark all trees to be cut and will draw up the logging contracts to provide for the preservation of young growth. It Is in tended to make the forest yield a permanent annual revenue to go toward the support ot the college. Another interesting tract to come un der government supervision is one of about 47,000 acres, owned by the Adirondack League club. It is In the Adirondack mountains of New York, near Lower fiaranac, and Is kept primarily as a game reserve. The working plan will provide for the removal of all timber which can bo spared without injuring the forest. fhe Treasury department has ordered a special agent to proceed to the Pacific coast to Inves tigate the matter of the large Influx of Jap anese coolies to this country within the last few montlis. The question is still troubling the immigration officials. Until two or three months ago the Immigration of Japanese to the United .States was small, It has increased so t to excite suspicion that the men are coming here as contract laborers. The Treasury has also re quested tho State department to ask American consuls to Investigate the matter and make re ports. That our sales to the Orient are rapidly growing is shown by the latest export figures of the bureau of statistics. While there has been a continued growth In our exports during the past fiscal year, by far the largest percentage of gain has been hi our trade with the Orient. 4 4 4 44 4 & 4 4 4 3 -5 rl CALENDAR, An opportunity to secure exclusive patterns and first choice, ooooooooooooooooo Tinted Backs Hangers Colortype Backs White Backs Gold Embossed Mounted Photographs Half-Tones Lithographs ooooooooooooooooo THE TRIBUNE has exclusive control of the finest line.ot Calendars ever exhibited in Scranton.
