r -W- -TrllKN A 11UIUJHMCAN
ofllclal goes wronrj the
country Is naturally as
tounded. The feeuU
tlon of it Fiiibortllmile postal ofllclal In
Cuba was at once niuKiilllcd and dis
torted to the discredit and t-liame of
the administration. As a rule Repub
lican oflielals are honest. It Is the ex
ception when they tuin out to be
thieves.
It has been vaguely MtRKCMtert that
somebody in WahhiiiKton Is tesponsl
ble for the postal frauds In Cuba. The
Insinuations, it Is well understood,
point to the post ofllce depaitment.
There has been no open chaise to this
effect. There has been no plain Inti
mation in that direction but political
desperation, indicated In buncombe
Democratic resolutions in both
branches of congress, suBfjests the
possible hope that the administration
may be made dliectly responsible,
through some shot looming in the ad
ministration of the post olllce depart
ment. As yet this is only a surme.
But the postmaster general lias ac
cepted the challenge, and when he gets
through with the investigation the
country will ngteo with The Tribune
that he is not only the most available
man In the Itepubllvan party for the
vice-presidential nomination tills year,
but that his nomination will bo a cer
tificate of character to the presidential
ticket.
People who doubt that Postmaster
General Smith will go to the bottom of
the rascality in the Cuban postal
frauds, or that when the guilt of the
rascals Is fixed he will hesitate to pun
ish to the full extent of the law, don't
know the man.
The Democratic small organs about
the country aie undecided as to wheth
er they should regard Mr. Towne as a
Moses or a Jonah.
A New Trial for Lutz.
IT IS DIFFICULT to see how a
new' trial can bo avoided in the
Lutz murder case. The allega
tions that the dissenting Jutor,
Koons, was toeiced ate speclllc and
apparently well founded. The story
of the duty's deliberations as told in
a Wllkes-Bairo dispatch to the Sun
makes a narrative of shame.
During sixteen days, according to
this version, the ballot stood ten for
llrst degree and two for anything ex
cept that verdict. One of the two,
James Barrett, was half-hearted and
said as soon as the other, F. A. Konns,
was willing to do likewise ho would
vote with .tlie majority. Mr. Koons
announced on the first ballot that ho
did not believe in hanging the man.
When tho ten men found ho would
not bo moved they began a, system of
persecution because oO the discomfort
of living in a small, poorly furnished
Jury room, their irritation owing to
the hot weather and their annoyance
at his stand for his convictions. They
would not talk to him. They refused
to walk tho fifty yards to the hotel
for meala with him In double file.
They ignored him at the table. If ho
leaned out of a window he had that
Window alone. They taunted him with
beta of how long he would remain out.
.They-accused him of being a filend of
iiUtas Uwyers. They even said he was
bribed. Then to show tho crowds
which watched them1 march from tho
Jury room to tho hotel that they were
not responsible je-r ,the delay they
wore badges of blue rjbbon so that
Koons, wearing none, would be read
ily distinguished.
The Sun dispatch goes on to bay
that Koons was finally broken down
In health and In spirit by this treat
ment of oppression and ho agreed to
a first degrpe verdict because he lack
ed tho strength longer to hold out.
Bitch a -condition of Jury deliberation
Is notjustlce but tyranny and no court
lh Christendom has tho moral right
to stand f6r it. Koons had taken a
solemn oath to well and truly try tho
paBe and, a Judgment give in accord
ance with, tho facts and tho law as
the (jpurt laid the law down. Ho had
as elf nr, a .light to stane for his con
viction as any other of tho twelve.
The Intont of tho law In requiring
unanimity Is to gtvo the accused the
encflt of any 'possible doubt of guilt.
Jt is a corner atone, principle of our
.system of Jurisprudence; and coercion
of the kind practiced by tho ten who
disagreed with Koons is as much a
denial of this principle its 'if a mob
had broken into Jail and executed sum
mary vengeance upon tho prisoner.
The law provides a remedy when a
'ttabt holdS'out irtm Imp'rober motives
which can be established In open
court. Conversely it should protect
tho Juror who holds out on account of
principle. In this case tho opportunity
to protect Koons has passed; the dam
age Is done. But there Is still left
tho chance to protect tho ptlsoncr from
tho operation of a verdict which, If
tho tunnncr of Its making Is as has
been alleged, Is a blistering dlsgraco
upon the splilt of our Institutions. Wo
siy this, believing with the ten that
Lutz was guilty as Indicted and that
hanging would be too good for htm.
But wo say it because moro than
Lutz's fate is concerned in the gross
impropriety of coercion within a Jury
room.

Liquor Traffic In Tlanlla.
TT IS EASY to be Inaccurate con
cerning affairs at a distance; and
JL. that probably explains why some
badly exaggerated versions have
been cm rent touching the condition of
tho liquor traflio In tho Philippines.
Chaplain Pierce has done a good deal
to correct tho erroneous Idea that
American occupation or Luzon has
bi'en followed by a saturnalia of de
bauchery and uniestrlctcd license on
the part of American soldiers and civil
ians; and the government has done
more In making public a teport on this
subject from the acting provost mar
shal general at Manila, Colonel E. B.
Wllllston. This report lefcrs especially
to the city of Manila, the center of
business of all kinds for the archi
pelago. "The number of places where liquor
is sold," he says, "1 very small, com
pelled with the number of people re
siding inside of the municipal limits.
Since the adoption of the license sys
tem the character of the baloons has
been very much impioved, and they are
as ordeily and icspectable as such
places can be. The number has been
diminished and great care Is taken In
Issuing new licences. The city is di
vided into two districts. In tho first
district licenses for six months are
granted upon such lepresentatlons as
aie usually icqulicd in the cities of the
United States, and after an investiga
tion by a police Inspector, upon the
payment of JG0O In Mexican silver for
the sale of llquois, wine and beer, and
$100 for the sale of beer and light wines
alone. In the second district, which In
cludes the moro thinly settled por
tions of the city, the fees aTo $100 and
$50, respectively, in Mexican silver.
The sale of native drinks Is absolutely
forbidden; It is fot bidden to sell to In
toxicated poisons; saloons aie required
to close at S.DO o'clock in the evening
and all day Sunday." In addition to
these saloons theie are native shops
wheie nothing but wine Is sold, and
tho report says that they "are always
veiy ordeily and the tioublo expeti
enced with them Is their violation of
the order ptohlbltlng the sale of wines
to soldiers."
Colonel Wllllston reports that when
ho became provost-marshal on May 17,
1899, thete were 207 saloons licensed to
sell wine, liquor and beer, 1 to sell wine
and beer and 6 to sell beer alone, 617
wineshops, 1 btewery and 1C distil
leries. At present there aie 15 distil
leiles, 1 brewery, 77 wholesale dealers,
1JS saloons and C10 native wineshops.
Colonel Wllllston says that there aie
no records "to show the number or
character of the saloons in Manila dur
ing tho Spanish occupation. From the
number of licenses tho various distillers
of native wine claim to have held dur
ing Spanish rule, tho number of native
wineshops may be placed at not les3
than tf.OOO. I hao no means of ascer
taining the quantity of liquor sold at
any time, but I know that theie has
been an appreciable decrease in tho
quantity sold since February 1, 1S9!i.
Of the saloonkeepcis none are dis
charged boldleis; 135 are men and 43
aie women; 23 aie Americans, 67 are
Spaniards and the remainder are ori
entals. Comparing the number of sa
loons now and the number a year ago,
the foiegolng figures show a decrease
of 20 per cent."
A condition of hostilities does not
offer u favorable atmosphere for the
rapid development of temperance re
form. It would be unjust to expect too
much under tho clicumstances which
have attended American occupation of
Manila; a falier test will come when
military yields to civil rule and con
structive adnilnlstiatlon Is afforded
time to woik out Its Ideas and Ideals.
But the showing as it is Is not bad.
No Ameilcan who takes fair Inventory
of tho circumstances is called upon to
be ashamed of It.
If tho election of Clark was invalid
then his appointment Is equally so.
The way out is for the senate to de
clare the original election void.
Bird Protection.
jr-syHN SENATE committee on
Interstate commerce has io-
JL ported favorably H bill pro
hibiting tho transportation
by interstate commerce of game ani
mals or birds killed in violation of local
laws and making them and dead song
birds or parts thereof subject to the
laws of the Btate Into which they are
transported. ,
Tho bill enlarges tho duties ond pow
ers of the department of agriculture so
as to Include tho pieservatlon, distri
bution, introduction and restoration of
gamo birds and other wild birds, au
thorizing tho purchase of such as may
be required to restore gamo birds to
tho localities In which they have been
depleted. Tho secretary of agriculture
Js to make needful rules and regula
tions for carrying out tho purposes of
tho act. The bill prohibits the Impor
tation of the mongoose, flying foxes or
fruit bats, tho English sparrow, tho
starling and such other birds or ani
mals as tho secretary of agriculture
may declare injurious to the interests
of agriculture or horticulture, and
makes It unlawful for any person to
deliver to any common carrier or for
a common carrier to transport from
one state to another any foreign ani
mals or birds tho 'Importation of which
Is prohibited, or tho dead bodies or
parts thereof of any wild animals or
birds killed in violation of local laws.
This bill will bo approved by true
sportsmen everywhere. Tho number ot
alleged sportsmen who habitually over
step local laws for the protection of
game birds Is small In proportion to
tho total number of huntsmen; btit
what they lack In numbers they usual
ly make up in. impudence, and congress
does well to strengthen tho machinery
of the law by which they can bo
rounded up and punished.
Some of tho trunk lines running out
of Chicago ere discussing tho estab
lishing of religious services on through
trains on Sunday in order to satisfy
the scruples of conscientious patrons
who object to Sunday travel. Whether
or nst tho regular patrons of tho
railroads really long for religious ecr
ces on Sunday when they are speed
ing over the western plains is yet to
bo determined. It would certainly
break the monotony and might bo of
benefit to tho busy man who too fre
quently allows his religious life to bo
largely looked after by proxy by
feminine members of his family.
The effects of the disease-breeding
swamp on Washington avenue, near
tho county Jail, are liable In time to
extend all over tho city. If tho Scran
ton authorities cannot be Induced to
abate the evil, something might be ac
complishment in the way of a popular

In tho endeavor to satisfy both the
English nnd Boers, tho Orange Free

Special Correspondence of The Trlbuno.
Washington, May 18. Tlics peculation of pm
crnment officials in Cuba has scamlaliml tho
administration. Our domestic postal affairs have
been managed by Postmaster Oeneial Smith
witli exceptional ability. Abuses hac been cor
rected and under his personal diiection the
service lias attained the highest efficiency. As
far as possible the methods so successfully em
ployed hero hae been used in the Cuban pos
tal fcciicc. There is this important difference.
The Cuban postal officials were not subjected
to that vigilant supervision which protects the
public service against the possible corruption
of its agents in this country.
The introduction of the American rostal ser
!ce in Cuba was an experiment. Xo fault is
found with tho service. It is praised on every
hand, but the government has been unfo.'tunatci
in luc cmplovnicnt of dishonest agents. They
Iuve betrajed their trust. They were men of
established probity. They enjoved fully the con
fidence of the administration. They bad seen
long and honorable service in public life. Their
integrity had never been questioned. They had
held positions of trust. Their official records
were above suspicion or wrong. Hut with all
this to their cicdit, they were appointed only
after (lie most searching scrutiny. The admin
istration felicitated itself upon the appoint
ment of such tried men as Thompson and
Hathboue. It felt assured of absolute security,
both in the honesty and efficiency of their ad
mluUtiatlon. They owed their appointment
olcly to their reputation for honesty and ca
pacity. Whether guilty of coiruptlon or Incompetency,
or whether diiectly or indiiectly responsible for
the peculation of others, they have disgraced
the public service and subjected the adminis
tration to icproach and misrepresentation. Un
til the whole truth about the milter is known,
it is idle to speculate about the immediate
responsibility of the postofticc department or the
war department. The postmaster general will
exhaust tho resources of his department in the
pending investigation. He is not afiald of the
responsibility. The investigation will show that
he has done his full duty as the head of the
postoflice department. It will show that there
lus been no dereliction on his part. He feels
the keenest disappointment. In Mr. Thompson,
the ixi-tmjster at Havana, he leposed the most
Implicit trust, and feels deeply at the mere
suggestion of his culpability. Put no man, who
ever he may be, or whatever his influence, is to
be spared.
fourth Assistant Postmaster General Ilrijtow
left hero Wednesday with full and specific in
structions to searchlngly investigate every pos
sible phase of the postal situation In Cuba. He
was selected bv tho postmaster general because
of his record as an honest, fearless, conscien
tious, exacting department official. Nobody who
knows anj tiling about Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral llristovv's record In the department ques
tions bis courage or his determination to do
bis whole duty in this investigation.
The postmaster general told Mr, Ilristow that
the piosecution of the Inquiry must bo directed
with a desire to learn the entire truth, and
must be uncompromising and unsparing. He
goes to Cuba deeply impressed that the presi
dent Is chagrined and shocked at the betraval
of trust on t lie part of the postal officials, and
that hU wish Is that in dealing with the frauds
there shall be a complete investigation with a
rigoious and unsparing prosecution of the guilty
and of their condign punishment.
The fiscal jcar JOOO continues to break all
records in tho matter of cxportatlons. April Is
an example of this fact. Tho total exports In
April, as Just announced by the treasury bur
eau of statistics, are ?11S,W(5,M7, which is $20,
OOD.ono more than In any preoeding jcar, $.J0,.
000,000 more than in April of last year nnd
double that of April, ISai. Never betoro has
April, which Is usually a light export month,
reached the 5100,000,0(10 mark In Its exports.
Kvery branch of industry lends its aid to this
Increase. The total figures for the month of
April have not vet been sufficiently anal) zee r
to show the exatt Increase in each class, but
an analjfU of those for the month of March
shows that agricultural exports in that month
were $18,OO0,ouO greater than In the correspond
ing month of last )car, that manufactures were
,000,000 In excess of tho corresponding month
of tho preceding year; that products of th
mino vveic nearly 0 per cent. In excess ot those
of tho eorrispo.iidlng month of 1600, while pro
ducts ot the forests, the fisheries, and those
grouped as miscellaneous all showed an Increase.
The advance in prices of cotton, corn, oats,
wheat and provisions accounts In part for the
increase in the value of agricultural exports,
while there Is also an Increase in quantity ex
ported, especially in cotton, and the advance
in values alto accounts in part for the gieat
Increase in exports ot manufactures.
It Is now apparent that in all the great
classes of our exports the record of the year
1900 will exceed that ot any earlier year. In
REV. SILAS C.
This portrait is from a recent photograph of
whom the United Christian party hopes to elect
the nine months ending with March exports of
agricultural products were $1S,000,000 greater
than those of the same months in the preced
ing fiscal year, products of the mine exceeded
those of the corresponding months of 1S03 by
8J per cent., those of the forest showed a like
increase, ami fisheries and miscellaneous also
showed a gain over the corresponding months
of the preceding fiscal jear, and with the phe
nomenal Increase of $.10,000,000 In April, irOO, as

that the record of the jcir which ends lesn

be seen that the list quarter exec cried that

"A SPAWN OF UNBELIEF."
At the opening session of the Prrsbjtcrlan gen
eral assembly, which met In St. Louis on Thurs
day of this week, the moderator, Dr. Sample,
pieaehed a vlgoious sermon In the couise of
which ho characterized Christian Science in plain
terms. He said:
"lliero is a philosophy so-called, a seeming
misguided le action from materialism. It denies
a personal God, an incarnate Christ, a Saviour
from sin. It is largely a revival of ancient ag
nosticism; a twin sister of pantheism; a epiwn
of unbelief; one of tho gicatest delusions Intelli
gence ever accepted; the worst sjstcm of ethics
that ever dtxerted souls fiom God and duty. This
philosophy denies the existence of matter; in
sists that we have no bodies; that .here is no
solid ground under our feet; no girding moun
tains, no gleaming stars; no disease, Infirmity
or death. If its results were not so pernicious
me might siy of its leaeheis as Lord Djson said
of an erratic prelate of his day:
. 'When lllshop Berkeley said. There Is no
matter,
It was no matter what he said.'
"Hut whereunto will this philosophy grow? It
Is gaining round with an alarming rapidity, and
is wiecklng homes, souls and communities over
which once fell the light of happiness and
peace."

The organist of one of the principal Methodist
churches in Hartford, Conn., says: " I was troubled with
gastritis and nervous dyspepsia for two years. I would
go to bed at night feeling perfectly well and wake up next
morning with a splitting sick headache. I would be so
hot at times that my flesh seemed burning up and flashes
of light and darkness would come before my eyes. These
spells continued sometimes for a day and a half and while
they lasted I was so stupid I hardly knew my own name.
I commenced taking Ripans Tabules, and before I had
used three dozen of them they made me entirely well. I ,
take a Tabule occasionally now just to keep my stomach
in order when it shows any slight indication of a disposi
tion to rebel."
