I rlsburp in not endowed with
JL inlnd-renillntr powers sum
clem to Biicsn what hind of
tlutter sicranton wants it to enact; it
must nccct-sarllj rely for Information
m that point upon thy representative
citizens of this city. Vet although this
truth Is Relf-evldent, you cannot locate
two oilielals ou would llnd it dllllcult
to identify two tnxpayein with identi
cal opinions as to what tho new char
ter should contain Nor does there ap
i.ear to bo an eaily prospect of ujrreo
ment even ns to the main lincH of the
legislation necessary to start this city
advantageously upon Its bceond-class
t neei.
You can heat plenty of animated talk
i.bout tho llpper fenturp. That Is a
concrete proposition of intensely prac
tical politics embodying the tenure of
a number of oHlces und those affected
naturally have vigorous lin on the
object. In the current discussion of
this new c barter question the ripper
section has been tbo often elevated
Into the plaee of chief Importance,
vhereas it lh in reality incidental nnd
lempoiary. There Is no doubt that it
is wrong in principle lor one s-et of
mer. to lip another set of men out of
cfTlcc und out of power, even after
Treat provocation has been (jhen; just
is it is wrong tor men to tight or to
decline to turn the right cheek when
.jinitten on the lett Hut ho far as tho
new chatter Is concerned, the llpper,
if not beaten, will constitute only a.
ruslns Incident. Long nfter it shall
l.ac gone into the limbo of the dead
tnd toigottcn the three cities In Penn
sylvania now in the second class and
perchance many moie not yet enjoin
ing that proud distinction nnd hup
py ('') chcumstancie will bo put suing
a tenor of government the forms nnd
Mis methods of which are about to
bo decided nb Harrlsbutg: and it Is
of infinitely more importance to get the
legal foundations of that government
laid wisely and properly than It is to
Indulge ourselves In fruitless ONclte
inert over the fuctional troubles of A1-,
legheny county.
The right stand tor the repie.sentn
tivr citizens of Scianton to take is in
the first placo to get together on the
main items of the charter programme
that they would like to have prevail
at Hatrlsburg, and then to sand a prac
tical sleeting committee down thorn
to put It through. If it shall appear
that this committee Is not big enough
to bend the entlte legislature to its
vbws and pin poses, let It be instruct
ed to take what it can get, and look
peasant. The man or the city that
net, when the time is Upe for action
is the ono that gett, there. The time
tor action on the new charter question
H now ilpc and it theiefore behooves

Libel Legislation.
TUi; roiUUJCT lines lor hon-
M legislation defining libel
no well indicated by Rep
resentative Cooper, of Dela
wau county, when he fays: "There
"hould be freedom of cilticlsm .as to
all candid-ties for public office and all
public) officers, but it should bo truth
ful, and if not, there should be liability
not only in actual but leasonable pie
Miinptlvc damages. A bill framed on
lhltT llnWftould protect nil legitimate
new'spapers,. guaid tho public inter
'3ts, an(affou proper protection troni
tal.vi assaults upon candidates nnd
officers'. Tho net of 1M7 goes too far
In permjuinc the same nsrault upon
a private, citizen that It does upon a
public officer. It limits both to dam
ages actually sustained, whereas dam
ages to n private citizen can inrely bo
determined. It may tun through his
lite and to his, children. A slmplo re
peal of the act 'of '97 will cany us bade
lo the old days of 'the greater the
truth the greater --the libel' an ex
treme of restriction while the act of
07 -is an CNtroino In the licence to
abubo. There Is a golden mean, nnd
the "newspaper men should find It, and
find' it now."
No victim of libel can feel more
keeply than wo do the disgrace put
upon tho business of leputable news
paper production by the subsidized
coyotes of yellow Journalism, who
make a stock In trade of hounding
publlo men, regardless of truth or Jus
tlce. The establishment of a whipping
post in Pennsylvania for these bohe
mlan mereenurlesvould teceive the
applause of 1U lovers of decency and
fairness. But' ft Is not possible to en
act , legislation to abo'lislr their men
dacity without putting, undue restraint
upon tho honest piocesses of self-respecting
Jovrnullsm. .The' fact that
eomo criticism of public men Is mnllc
lotts and disgraceful supplies no war
rant for outlawing nil criticism nor
docs It Justify tho establishment of
Impossible requirements. Tho funda
mental theory of our Institutions Is
that the common sense of tho people
as repiesented In the Jury system Is a.
sufficient safeguard against Injustice.
Tho function of the law Is to define tho
crlmo and to prescrlbo the punish
ment, leaving it to tho twelve good
men nnd true to do tho rest.
Hence the present libel law, If amend
ed nt nil, should only bo changed to
give to the Injured citizen a wider
scope of recovery for dnmugis sus?
tnlncd. The extent of dnmageH whcio
proof of falsity In printed stutcment la
duly made should be left wholly to the
Intelligence of the Jury of trial. If to
this should be added a revision of the
laws relative to the di awing and selec
tion of Jurors so as to Invite a higher
degree of character nnd nblllty Into
tho deliberations of tho Jury room, nil
will havo been done that can be done
to mako safe the teputatlon of the In
dividual against mendacious attack.

In Jefferson's Footsteps.
Tim SPOONEK bill, which Is
to be passed ns an admin
istration meusute nt this
session of congress If pos
nlbli', so as to logulize necessary ex
ecutive action pending the Supremo
court's disposition of tho Insular cases,
provides that "when all Insuirectlon
against the sovereignty and nuthoilty
of the United States In the Philippine
Islands, ncqulied fiom Spain by tho
ttcnlv concluded at Paris on the 10th
day of Dtcember, 1S9S, shalt havo been
completely suppresed by the military
nnd naval forces of the United States,
all military, civil and Judicial poweis
necessary to govern the said islands
shall, until otherwise provided by con
gress, be vested in such person nnd
pei sons, und shall be exercised in such
manner aa the president of the United
States shall direct, for maintaining
and protecting the Inhabitants of said
Islands In the free enjoyment of their
liberty, pioptrty and religion."
To this tho objection has been talsed
that it contemplates the massing of
extraordlnai y nuthoilty in the bunds
of the president. That It docs ltut
there Is a pi credent. On Octobei 29,
1S01, congress pnsbed an act authoriz
ing President Thomas Jefferson to take
possession of the territory then re
cently ceded to us by Prance and made
tho following provision for the govern
ment of It: "That until the expiration
of the present session of congiess, un
less provision for tempoiaiy govern
ment of the said territories be sooner
made by congress, all the military, civil
and judicial powers exercised by the
offlceis of tho existing (French) gov
ernment of the same shall bo exercised
in such manner as the president of the
United States shall dliect for main
taining and protecting thu Inhabitants
of Louisiana In the free enjoyment of
thtlr liberty, piopeity nnd lellglon."
Now watch tho opponents of the ad
ministration, who have been eulogl7lng
Jefferson, proceed to repudlnte him.

The Cuban Pu.zle.
Tlin CAT.!, summoning n con
vention of icpivsentatlvos
of the people ofCuba to for
mulate u constitution for a
fiee Cuban republic Included as pait
of the convention's mission the denn
ing of the future relations to elst
between that republic and the United
States. This part of its work the con
vention has resolutely declined to per
form. Its 1efus.1l opens up a qifs.
Hon of much perplexity.
The completed draft of tho Cuban
constitution Is expected to at rive at
Washington on or about Teb. 15. AVhnt
shall be dono with It? Congiess by
lcsolutlnn lias declared the people ot
Cuba free and Independent and haa
nsserted the intention of the United
States to withdraw Its military foices
as soon ns the pacification of the Is
land shall have been completed. Tho
Supremo court in tho Neeloy case has
decided that Cuba Is a foielgn count! y.
The fact of Its pacification Is apparent, j
j tie completion by a convention of
Its people of a constitution duly
drafted adds substantial rortoboration
to the other reports that good ot.lir
now prevails throughout the Island.
AVhnt Is the next step for the Unltad
Slates to take" Tills Is tlin niicttnn !
that the president put poses to placo
before congiesv,
On this subject "Walter Wcllninn
writes: 'No one disputes tho presi
dent's power to withdraw our troops
fiom Cuba, and turn the island over
to the people thereof nt nny time h"
may beo lit. Nor Is there dnlnl of tho
coiollary of this proposition that ns
long as tho conditions nrc iinsntlsfiic
toij to him the pi'sldent has power
to stay and to administer tho Bovrn
tnent. It was under this power that
tho president nnd Secretary Itoot pie
parcd their plan for n Cuban icpubllo
that should bo Independent In nil Its
inlet lor affairs, but outwardly ac
knowledge American paramountcy.
for the purposo of seeming protect! jn
Internationally and guarantees ot a
stable and enduring government. Two
things havo occutred to Inteifere with
this programme: rirst, the Cuban
tadlcnls have been found unamenable
to tho wholesome Influences of tho
United States. Second, public opinion
In the United States, .llttlo under
standing tho tiuci nature and falrne33
of the administration's plan, has not
only failed to support it, but has been
severe In criticism upon it. The presi
dent Is nltogether willing to Insist that
the Cubans shall foimulato tho rela
tions between this country and tlia
island as a condition ujeccdent to the
setting up, of a Cuban republic, but it
ho is to do this ho must havo tho sup
port of congress. It was congress
which unnecessarily nnd gratuitously
pledged the United States to with
draw; It was congiess which tied tho
hands of tho American government
nnd brought about this condition, nnd
It la for congress now to say In what
manner escape from the dilemma shall
bo found."
As to what congress can do In tho
premises, Mr. Wellman continues:
"The president and the cnblnet havo no
ida that congress will enro to go so
far ns to approve or 1 eject tho Cuban
constitution. Hut us congress t lire J
yeats ngo went out of Its way to ex
press nn opinion its to tho future of
Cuba a tneie declination of purpose,
not nn act of legislation so congress
many now find It convenient to reiter
ate, to wlthdinw or to modify tho
declaration. If congiess Is smtlstled
witli the Cuban constitution und with
tho outlook for Btable government In
the island, It may, by another Joint
resolution, declare lis opinion that our
military occupation should come to 1111
end. The president would promptly
comply with such nn opinion nnd turn
Cuba over to the Cubans. Tho consti
tutional power of congress to 'direct'
the president to withdraw our tioopa
Is disputed, but ho will icspond to tho
will of congtess, no matter how ex
piessed. If congtess Is not contnt
with the constitution nnd tho outlook
for tho fututc peace and secuilty of
tho islands, It may, by unother Joint
resolution, Indicate its opinion that
until the Cubans tormulnte the tela
tlons which me to exist between the
two countries, our ltillllnry occupa
tion should continue. All tho presi
dent wants Is the ninwil support of
tongres". Cllvcn that, liu Is more than
willing to seo to It that when Cuba
docs set up a government of Its own
that government shall be sound and
enduilng."
Tho dilemma is awkward, but ns
congtess mndo it, congress should
solve it.

learned man told It in Duluth llere'a what
tho I'liglUhman told me the wiso man told hlmi
"You know the water In Lake Ifiiperlor la In

elliury thing, toe, for it is many degrees colder
than tho vvatir In any other of tho great lakea,
It was most Interesting to mo tu learn of the
curious American custom that causes it In
winter, I wu Infouned by a gentleman In Tu

And perhaps some day there'll be a book
