As Ioiir ngo ns last January, Post
master General Smith wrote to Direc
tor of Posts Hathbone ordering a re
duction of expenses In the Cuban pos
tal service. Had this order been obeyed
promptly and In the spirit In which It
was Klven, many of the Neely fraud"
would have been n verted, ltathbone
procrastinated and Mr. Smith, trusting
to the Judgment of the agent on the
ground, allowed him to linve his way.
As wo see now, this was an error of
Judgment; but wheie Is the olllclal who
never makes mistakes? The people will
not find him among Charles Emory
Smith's glib ciltlcs.
White for Vice President.
WE NOTICE that an In
creasing effort Is being
made in certain quar
ters to create a demand
for tlio nomination of Andrew D.
White of New York state for vice
president. Mr. White Is at present
serving his country with exceptional
success as ambassador to Germany, to
which position he was re-appolntod
after an expression on the part of
Emperor William that Mr. White's re
turn to Uerlln would be especially
gratifying to the German foreign of
fice. The argument advanced In favor of
Mr. White's nomination, apart from
his general fitness for that or any
other high position In our govern
ment, is that it would appeal with
especial favor to the large element
of our voters who are of German ex
traction. Among there opposition to
what the Bryanltea call "Imperialism"
Is reported to bo very strong; and It
Is contended that the nomination of
Air. White for vice president, on ac
count of the high esteem In which he
Is held by these votets particularly,
would tend to allay disaffection and
in this way add to the party strength.
He Is popular with all elements In the
party; but It is argued by those who
are advocating his cause that no other
nomination would represent more of
expediency while none other would
be more satlsfactoiy on the score of
personal merit. ,
Theie Is, however, no nssurnnco that,
Mr. White would accept the vice pres
idency, and even it that be not re
garded as a matter of great Import
ance, the futther fact exists that our
relations with Germany, which seem
dally to tend toward new complica
tions, particularly In the matter of
commercial iialries, make ve-y im
portant lor the mutual paco and
pood feeling of the two nation. the
letentb'H of Ambassador White In his
present position. It is true that ho
has done much to allay iirltatlon and
smooth out misund"! standings which,
had lln-y not been diplomatically ad
Justed, might have led to trouble. Hut
that hlir.ply shows how valuable a man
he Is where he Is and argues against
U ehange.
The man for vice president Is
( harles Emory Smith.
Uaden-Powell did not lead the march
Into Pretoria, and there never was a
reason why he should. Put he Is likely
to do some handshaking In It soon; and
wo doubt that theie's a man who will
begrudge him.
Brought to an End.
-T-HE HLOODL.ESS capture of
I Pretoria finishes the serious
JL woik of the South African
war. Resistance there will
be In some detached localities; for
some time to come the British will need
to keep mobile columns In active pa
trol of the outlying territory. Put the
force at Lord Roberts' disposal Is suf
ficient to block out the whole region
and so, to Systematize the army's police
work thai'veVy .soon substantial prog,
ress will bo made toward pacification.
The P'oers have no seaport; the Hiit
lsh will command the entrances; and
It will not be possible to carry on for
midable resistance without the aid of
Imports.
Now comes the wearisome part o?
England's task. She has virtually to
reconstruct an entire commonwealth
not merely Its political Institutions hut
its population. Before the dream of a
British South Africa can be realized,
a new people must be domestlcnted In
the Transvaal. Tho stolid and stub
born Afrikander cannot be converted
Into an Englishman. His children may,
If he and they elect to remain; but tha
Boer over forty years of ago can bo
dismissed as not assimilable. It will
doubtless be England's policy to make
It ns easy a possible for him to remain
and to acquire, If he chooses to seek, n
voice and a vote In the new govern
ment. But the main reliance of n suc
cessful British colonial administration
must during the first generation be In
securing the presence In the Trans
vaal of a majority of English-speaking
people, men for the most part of sub
stance, character and experience in
nelf-covernment according to the Ens- I
llsh standards. How this Is to be ef
fected Is a problem well calculated to
tax England's best statesmanship.
Even those who have felt that Eng
land upon the whole was Justified In
seeking forcible equalization of politi
cal rights for tho Engllsh-.spenklng In
habitants of the Transvaal when milder
measures had failed miy without In
consistency acknowledge sympathy for
the Hoer masses In view of the ordeal
through which they have passed and
through which they are now passing
by reason of the Invaders' presence In
their former capital. Tho extinguish
ment of oven a bad nationality by
force Is not an agreeable spectacle to
contemplate; there Is consolation, how
ever, In the belief that In the not dis
tant future South Afilca and civiliza
tion will be the gainer.
The ndvocates of a special kind of
ballot reform In Pennsylvania should
not forget that there Is no patent light
on the promotion of clvle virtues.
Modification of the law will avail little
In the absence of reform In the Indi
vidual. The Voice of Oregon.
IP THERE IS any disaffection
among the Republicans of the
Paclflo coast the vote In Oregon
does not show It. In 180(5 Mo
Klnley's plurality over Bryan was
only 2117 In a totnl vote of 07,337. Two
years later, In the thick of the war
excitement, Geer, Rep., was elected
governor over King, Dem by a plu
rality of 10,.'74 In a total vote of S1.713.
In 1S5S the Populists ran a separate
ticket which polled 2SGG votes.
The returns from Monday's election
are not complete at time of writing;
but If the assumption Is correct that
the Republican plurality for supremo
court Judge exceeds 10,000 on a totnl
vote 2." per cent, below the nveiage,
the significance of this will appear
when it Is understood that this year
tho opposition to the Republican
ticket wa3 consolidated; Democrats,
Popull.Us and Silver Republicans vot
ing together. Had n similar fusion
prevailed two yeais ago, the Republi
can plurality, instead of being 10,574,
would have been only 7,'OS. If the
vote fell 2." per cent, below normal
owing to the lack of popular enthu
siasm in a minor state fight, the poll
ing of (ho full strength ought to show
a clenn Republican plurality In Ore
gon In tho neighborhood of 12,000, es
timated on the basis of Monday's re
turns, or a Republican gain of 10 per
cent, of tho total vole as compared
with four years ago.
This Is a satisfactory outlook for
what was ence a hot bed of Popu
lism and free sliver. It Indicates that
ftr western opinion thoroughly sus
tains the expansion policy of the Mc
Klnley administration; and It offers
correspondingly little comfoit to Wil
liam Jennings Bryan.
The attempts to imagine a vicious
connection between the Cuban postal
frauds and Charles Emory Smith are
failures, but they show how far yellow
partisanship will go.
Bryanlsm Is Supreme.
THE ATTEMPT of a certain
element in the eastern
Democracy to stick pins In
tho Bryan presidential
boom Is dally seen to do more futile.
David B. Hill's failure In New York
state to wrest tho state leadership
from Richard Croker, who for pur
poses of expediency has assumed di
rection of the Bryan forces In the Em
pire state. Is the latest and most con
spicuous illustration; and It has come
about less through Croker's strength
outside of New Yok city than because
Bryanlsm accurately lellects the pre
dominant spit It which actuates the
Democratic masses. ""
Hill's falluio extinguishes the last
hope of those Demoeiata who have
been trying to unload Bryan by
manoeuveiing against him within the
paity. It probably Is true that tho
nomination of some respectable Dem
ocrat not radically Identified with free
silver an J Populism would have given
the Democracy a better fighting
chance next fall than it will have un
der liiyan's peisonal leadership. The
reason for this belief Is found In the
fact that such a nominee could poll
all of Bryan's strength because of the
appearance of his name on the Dem
ociatlc ticket; and In nddltlon could
secuie the votes of many Democrats
of the sound money school who can
not consistently support for president
a man whose election would be con
strued throughout the wot Id as a fiee
silver vk'toiy.
Yet so long ns the great majority
of the Democratic voting strength Is
Inoculated with the radicalism of
which Bryan Is easily the most In
genious and Industrious exponent, so
long ns It Is wedded to the belief that
ownership of property Is somehow a
crime calling for condemnatory reso
lutions lit patty platforms and Justi
fying attacks upon thrift nnd enter
prise, that long will It bo proper for
Bryan to stand as the patty standard
bearer, and effoit to dislodge him will
partake of the nature of treason to
the principle of majority rule. There
Is this to be said of isryan; he has
tho cnurago ot his prejudices; ho Is
not afraid to stand for Populism with
out sygar coating rr evasive, rhetoric.
With him as the Democratic nominee
the Issues will never be In doubt. Ho
will bo his own platform, and the
party wilt dance to his fiddling.
They say that Bryan has broadened,
but there are no blgns of It In his
public utterances. He stands where
he stood In 1S9C. Accfilent has sup
plied hint with a new catch word.
The cross of gold and crown of thorn3
have given place to lurid philippics
agalr.st Caesatlsm nnd Imretlallsm.
But this apart, hi is the same old boy,
furious against wealth, Irreconcilable
towatd enterprise, bent on free silver
and staking It I a whole hazard on ap
peals to class prejudice and the spirit
of social discontent. It will be well
to have this menace fairly met. One
more trouncing will materially allay it.
Tho result of tho Brown-Potter di
vorce case was dismissed In Associated
Press dispatches In four lines. A few
years ago the affair would doubtless
have been given as many columns. The
Brown-Potters nro certainly out of date.
Dying In the last ditch and dying
comfortably In bed Isn matter of taste.
Simple obstinacy Is not nlwaya tho
highest heroism.
A Hunt Thnt Failed.
(rrom the 1'lttsburK Oommcrrlal-flarrttc)
THE HUNT for Issues In the
p'resent congress has been a
disappointing one for the
Democracy. With the aid of
a handful of ntitt-linpcrlallsts outside
of their party, they counted on gain
ing numerous advantages. Congress
was barely organized for business ere
they began with an energy worthy of
a better cause to devise wavs and
means of putting tho majority patty
"In n hole." They called for Informa
tion on every conceivable subject, hop
ing there would eventually come up
something which the president and
his cabinet wi'ie nnxlous to hide. They
wanted tho correspondence of Aguln
aldo and the officials acts in relation
to the Philippines and their curiosity
was speedily satisfied. They desired
Information from Secretary Gage and
he gave It In abundance. They hoped
for great things from the Cotter
d'Alene Investigation, nnd probed and
prodded for months until they made
the sad discovery that a Popocrat 'gov
ernor assumed full tesponslhlllty for
nil the measures token to preserve or
der In Idnho. The Macrum Incident
came up and It promised astounding
things, but developments were nil.
Wherever the Democratic watchdogs
barked and howled they discovered too
late that they were on a false sconr.
Nothing "panned out" as they expect
ed. The predicted "disruption of the Re
publican pnrtv," as the result of Mm
nets of the president and of congress,
has not come and will not come. The
Dlngloy tariff Is no longer an object
of attack, Its fruitage of prosperity
rendering It unassailable. The new
financial legislation has strengthened
public confidence and for tho first time
In many years trade Is not depressed
because of an approaching campaign.
There are no Indications, either on the
surface or beneath It, that faith In Re
publican ability and willingness to act
for tho best Interests of tho whole peo
ple has been Impaired In the slightest
degree. On tho contrary, all evidence
points to Increased popular approval
of the wise, patriotic and progressive
policy which came into being with Wil
liam McKlnley's Inauguration. If Re
publicans do their duty, tho shlpe of
state will not only sail under the same
captain for the next four years, but
without material changes In her crew.
Times were never more propituous for
sweeping Republican victory.
When contemplating the events fol
lowing the St. Louis street car strike,
one does not feel like criticizing the
Chinese government for inability in
suppressing the "Boxers."
It must be rather humiliating to tli3.
Hon. David B. Hill to realize that Ik
Is not a bigger man than W. Jennings
Bryan in the Empire state.
It Is rather difficult in China now to
distinguish the government from the
insurrection.

Just ben examining the Krowth of our trade
with Hawaii, and finds that five 3 ears airo, in
IS1).,, the total Hawaiian trade with the United
Mates amounted to only $U,."00,000, Last jcar It
reached S&I.Jlifl.OOO, liavlnu Increased almost
tluctfuM within five jcara, and most of this in
crease lias occurred within the past eighteen
months. The senator nays we may net think that
a business of $.11,300,0(10 amounts to cry much,
when our foreign trade is now running up into
the billions, but to compare our trade with the
Hawaiian inlands, with thilr handful of people,
with our trade witli some of tho hrger countries
of tin' world, glus a better Idea of the aluo of
(oloniis to the I'nited States. As a result of his
imtstlgitlons Senator Lodge finds that: Our
trade with the Hawaiian islands' is ener 100 per
out larger than our total trade with Austria
Hungary. It Is 73 per cent, lartrer than our
trade with Denmark. It is (10 per cent, as .large
us our total trade with Italy. It is nearly four
times as Urge as our trade with Portugal. It is
ener ISO pir tint, greater than our total trade
with Itii"U. It is almost double our trade with
Spiln. It Is 12"i pir cent, greater than our
trade with Sweden and Norway combined. It U
mure than double our trade with Switzerland.
It is ten times as large as our trade with Turkey.
It Is marly thirty times larger than our trade
with Greece.
Comparisons with countries on the American
continent show that Hawaiian trade with the
t'nittd Slates is iirual to .'SO per tent, of our
Hade with the whole Dominion of Canada, It
Is nearly IV) per tent, greater than our trade
with all the Central American Mates, It is 60
per cent, as laige as our trade with Mexico, It
Is 50 per cent, larger than our trade with all
the HrltUh West Indies. It is nearly fho times
as large as our trade with I'orto Itlc-o. It is
three times as large as our trade with the Dan
Mi. Dutch and Fltnch West Indies, with Malta
and San Domingo Included. It is almost twice as
Urge as our trade with Argentine. It Ii almost
half as large as our trade witli Itraill, win run
we Import most of our coffee. It Is nearly 400
per cent, laiger than our trade with Chile. It
is marly 400 per cent, larger than our trado
with the i'nited States of Colombo, It Is nearly
lifteen times largir than our trade with Ecuador.
It is more than six times largir than our trado
with HrltUh, Dutch and French C 11 Una, It Is
tin times larger than our trade with Peru. It
is fen times larger than our trade with Uru
guay. It Is more than (lie times larger than our
trade with Venezuela,
lie then makes comparisons with countries
across the Pacific and he finds that our trado
with Hawaii Is within six million dollars of
being as large as our trade with the empire of
Clrin a It Is more than three times as large as
our trade with I long Kong. It la nearly half as
large as our total trade with all the Urltisli,
Dutch and French Hast Indies, which send us
such large supplies of sugar. It is equal to AJ
per cent, of our trade with Japan. It It mora
than five times larger than our last year's trade
with the Philippines. It Is nearly twinty times
larger than our trado with Asiatic Itussia. It
was larger by' four million dollars than our trade
with the whole of the Australasian colonies lat
)ear, with their flc millions of people, It was
larger last J ear by more than three million dol
lars thin our trade with the entire continent of
Africa,
Stiutor Ixlge saji the Increase in our trade
with Hawaii has been ery marked since Its an
nexation to the United States, and he looks for
equally rapid !mproemcut In our trade with
I'orto ltlco and the Philippines. These colonies
will absorb some of our nurplui manufactures,
and they will also draw upon this country for
tin ir proWklons, thus Increasing tho demand for

.A.. 1
Stephen Crane, the farm us rwcllst and war
correspondent, who died at Hadenwiller, llailen,
Jesterday, was well known by trunj residents ot
this city. He was a (crand-on of the late Kev
Dr. fleorge I'ccV, and was therefore a cousin of
W II. Peck, (icorge St., II. I-., the Mbucs
Sarah and Harriet I'eck and other members uf
the family so piomlnently identified with
Scranton. Ills mother was a slstir of the lite
liev. Dr. Luther V. Peck, whose children base
kept up a close filendshlp with the Ciai.ts for
many c.irs. Stephen Crane was the youngest
son of the late Hcv. .1. Townley nnd Mrs.
Crane. As to the exact elate of Ids birth
Cashier W. II. I'cek has the following leltir
referring to Stephen and written to Uc. Dr.
George Tctk:
"N'ewaik, Doc. 0, 1SOT.
"Dear Father: Vnolhcr little one has been
added to our Hock, a fat dancing boy of about
ten pounds,
"Love to you and mother.
"Affectionately,
"J. T. Crane."
Stephen Crane, by inheritance, came moat
nitmally Ii to the talents he dlsplajed during
his brief life. His fatlcr was a brilliant man,
n clergyman of the Methodist denomination, nnd
a member of the Newark conference. He was
the author of many books and possessed extra
ordinary gifts of mind. Ills wife was no lew
talented in her way, a tlcur writer and fas
cinating ccnvcrsatlnnallst. The children Inher
ited occrtlonal Intellectual strength. Mrs.
Crane died but four years ago. Stephen Is sur
thed by five brothers and a sister. The 11 ost
illstiiiRulshed member of the family now liv
ing is Judge W. It. Crane, ot Port .Terns.
The sister, Mrs. Helen Hamilton, resides it
Ashury Park.
June 13th. It is expected that this villi Increase
the Imports from the United States, as we nosv
base less than half the traele of the Island. A
preslous reduction of the duty of food-stuffs and
lisc stock has not lessened the cott of food by
the consumer, so that no changes are made In
the resision in the food duties, except to reduce
the duty on flour from 1.!10 to $1 a barrel, and
on salt cod and stock fish from ?2 to 1. In
siesv of the necessity for the construction ond
reconstruction of railroads in Cuba, a special
prosision has been Inserted In the tariff sshich
allows railroad companies to import these sup
plies Into the Island for a period of tssclse
months from the date of promulgation at a rate
of 10 per tent, ad salorcm.
Some fesv changes base been made in the free
lit, one or two additions biing made, and one
or two articles being taken out and put on the
dutiable list.

An Increase of marly ?45,O0O,0OO, under tho
McKinley administration, is a pretty good ob
ject lesson to the farmers of Iowa.
It ssas only six months after President Mc
Klnley's inauguration that the Nesv York Her
ald, on September 0, ls07, published a table
showing "boss- the Idle army is decreasing." It
tabulated the trades to which 157,700 handi
craftsmen belonged, shosslng that 20,150 more
men had found work within a car, and that
132,350 svere cmplosed In 1597, as compared
with only 100.200 in lio. It Is safe to say that
every one of the 157,700 Is at work today, it he
wants to be. .
It sis under the last Democratic administra
tion and the last free trade tariff that tho far
mer could exchange his pound of ss-ool for a
pound and a half of sugar, lint under the Mc
Kinley administration his ssool ss-as ss-orth more,
sslille sugar ssas cheaper, and the pound of ssool
brings four pounds of sugar.
The Nesv York World h not distributing free
loases of bread this jcar, as it did in 1F94, Ine
people can afford to buy their own bread now.
Yet the Woild continues to tall at the McKin
ley administration, because It is a part of its
stock In trade.
A Democratic candidate for the presidency
one time remarked that the tailff svas a lonl
question, and a good many Democratic nniia
Kers nosv feel that slls-er is also a local affair.

An elderly seaman, living on Parkman Street, in
Dorchester, Mass., has struck his due share of "shallows
and miseries." " I am an old man-of-war's man," he says,
" sixty-three years old, and with a very bad stomach. I
have tried Ripans Tabules and found great relief there
from, but can not afford to buy those put up in bottles.; so
please send me two dozen cartons in paper packages, for
which I inclose ninety-six cents. They do me more good
than anything I have struck."
