An Infinite Exhibited. fT UV. AllTU'l.K In yesterday's I Times headed "Another JL Jlogey Scares The Tribune" Is about the win at example of mendacity In Journalism that wo have ever seen, Tt H a dishonest and an unprovoked attempt on the part of the Time?, by misleading statement and false innuendo, to an ay organized labor against Tho Tribune, and why'.' Hecnuse The Tribune has been coun seling conservatism; because It has been advlsliiK our working people to use ptudence, care and self-control: because It has been solicitous for that general and uninterrupted welfare of the whole community without which neither labor on the one hand nor capi tal on the other, nnd Incidentally neither the circulation of the Times nor Its advertising' patronage, can be pei manently prosperous. This line of leasonlng Is exactly the line which Is being followed by Samuel Compere, and John Mitchell and every other In telligent and effective leader of organ ized labor In the United States who feels restrained from mad Impulse by the weight of grave responsibilities; and yet for offering It as a general pi oposltlon lecommended Impersonally for all to whom It may apply, The Tribune Is viciously and maliciously attacked by the Times, absolutely without provocation, Justlllcatlon or excuse; Is scornfully held up to view as a "corporation organ;" and the ef fort Is made to draw upon It, to Its business injury, the 111 will of the gieat hosts of men nnd women who labor within the limits of Its circulation. This wanton attack, we may add, lonies with the more peculiar grace fiom lMvuiicl J. Lynctt, who owes his present ownership of the Times nnd largely his present business standing to friendly Influences set In motion by the president of The Tribune com pany. A gaibled expression of Justice Harlan niado lu an extempore speech on Chief Justice atnrshall has been magnified Into an Indication that he believes the Constitution automatically goes with the Hag. The time Is ap proaching when Justice Harlan will express his opinion on this subject ofliclally nnd It is sate to guess that It will be the opposite of the foregoing surmise. Tho Gentleman from Hawaii. OON AFTHH Hubert W. Wil- coxS was chrscn delegate in congtess from Hawaii charges were made against lilm with a view to Influencing con gress to expel hlm-NR It expelled Uoli rts of Utah. Tho charges were simi lar to the charges against Hoberts but worse. It was alleged that while Wil cox was n student at n military col lego in Turin, Italy, he married an Italian princess, Glna do Stlgllano by name. Tho twain came to this coun try nnd lived for some time in Cali fornia, where a daughter was born. Wilcox, It Is alleged, subsequently per tuaded his wife to return to Italy and tho next thing she know Wilcox had wedded the princess Theresa Ka.sholi lanl, n descendant of one of the early Hawaiian kings. Wilcox claims th popo annulled his first marriage but the, Italian wife asserts that this U 'false, and Hence her petition1 to con Kress, tp turn the alleged bigamist out. Hun oI stilus on Paper Heading .2S " .273 ..'0 .ft! .10 .175 .153 .17 .15 .1 5 Hut now a more serious offeiico is charged ngalnst Wilcox. Letters of his to Aguinaldo and other Filipino Insurgents nru exhibited which come pretty closo to making out a cnsr of treason. Borne ppeclnicn culllngs fiom Ihciri, showing his mental ns veil as his moral cnllbro urn appended; "I am already made up my mind," ha tnys, "to Join with your In your coun try ngalnst tho Amei leans." "H? tween Oeneral Aguinaldo's determln atlqn nnd myself it would bo 7vcry Ut ile ehtinceB left to tho invader army f the United States to conquer your country' ."Tell General Aguinaldo I , nn aheady given my cervices for your country." "I am thinking to go to assistance to Aguinaldo ngalnst tho Invaders nnd hypocritical yankees, the carpet' vHigsetitlUtlcIan ptla.", "It Is -my dtiljs Uo' f)fc'ht..'agniiist them and jiiijnporttho' lnilepenaehce of the Fill pinos!'T "lii 'fighting nnd destroying the'IInlted fetates influence in the east f would have glory nnd honor and tny work would bo appreciated by tho Filipinos. jChlneses and .Tapancses and Arnbs, It is my great folly to oao nil these chances'," It is evident that the country had a? narrow escape yf'hcn Wilcox, Instead of joining Aguinaldo and .diivlng the American Invaders into the pea, deter- mined to seek the suffrages of his fel low Knnakas nnd Invade Washington. Hut It may bo doubted that Hawaii receives much luster from such a rep-leietitutlvc. To the question, Is actions crime on the Increase, a partial answer Is re turned In the annual report of the city magistrates of Clrcntcr New York. In 1S90 the number of persons arrested lu that city charged with felonies was 4211'. If the Increase In crime had been equal to the Increase lu population the number of arrests for felonies should have been CG9t In 1900. As n matter of fact It was SR38. Libel Reform. TDK 1MIESKNT libel law, enacted In 1897, Is certainly fair, so far as It goes, but It does not go far enough. It ptovldes. very properly, that no publisher can be prosecuted twice for the came crime, and says Hint If the matter charged is, lu the opinion of the court, proper for public Informa tion, the truth may be given In evi dence to the Jury. A state ment proper for public Informa tion, If true. Is not libel, nor without constitutional amendement can any statute make It libel. A statement pioper for public Information, It true in the main, may be Incorrect in cer tain particulars and yet not consti tute a crime. If by reason of lnac cumey damage Is done, the publisher doing It certainly ought to pny such damage as, In civil action, a Jury may Itnd, provided It Is a. reasonable amount. In the Judge of trial may well be vested discretionary power to reduce an excessive award. A statement which would be proper for public Infoimallon If true, but which Is untrue In the main averments and which dUcloses to tho Jury rea sonable presumption of malice In the Intent of Its publication, Is criminal libel, nnd should be I mindly punished, even though true In Incidental details. And, finally, the persistent reiteration or a statement which may have been originally proper for public Informa tion and In the main true, but which through lapse of years or by reason of popular condonation of tho offence"! charged has lost pertinency should, upon Information sworn, be admissi ble before a grand Jury, nnd If the grand Jury doteimlne that It icpre sents malice, Indictment and trial should follow, as in any other case. In other words, the Indecent ex. posuie of nn out-grown past should bo outlawed by a statute of limita tions. This will trim the longest clnws of buzzard journalism. A desire to get back at Hanna seems to be one of the chief factors in the opposition to the shipping bill. That is a poor standpoint fiom which to view public duty in a question of na tional magnitude. A State Excise Commission. IT IS PHKDICTRI) In correspond ence from Harrlsburg that legis lation will be enacted this ses sion to take away from the judges the power to grant liquor li censes and to place It In the hands of a state excise commission. This proposition will provoke factional dis sent based on the contention that It would stiengthen the political power of the state administration. And the extent to which this dissent will pre vail among the people will be deter mined laigely by tho details of the bill. These not having been announced, consideration of the proposition Is necessarily limited to the principles Involved. The vesting in the Judges of juris diction over liquor licenses places upon them a task out of keeping with the character of their olllce nnd In evitably tends to surround them with political considerations and necessities which should not be. It is of great impottance that the bench should re tain the high measure of public re spect which tradition nsslgns to It. Hut this id often rendered difficult by the annual proceedings In license court, when the cherished theory of law administered without fear or fa vol Is fortunate If It does not get sadly damaged by court practice. This Is not to say that our ludges willingly present on these occasions a different front than when in the discharge of functions more strictly judicial; It is to point out a condition of fact un watlsfactory alike to Judges and public, for which the remedy Is to make excise supervision a separate police task. It would be Interesting to know what there was lu the public cateer of Wll Ham Cioebel to warrant any consider able number of the people of Kentucky In honoring his memory. Why Not? IN A KKTTKH to the Commercial Onzette Mr. Edwin 55. Smith, a substantial citizen of Pittsburg, offers a suggestion on the sub ject of the proposed new second-class charter which Is pertinent and force ful. He- writes: "It may be a hardship, but It is not Illegal nor neoessnilly unjust to sum marlly remove u city otllclal, even though honest and canable. for no mio has a vested Interest In a public ofllce; but It is neither right nor proper to de privo tho people of the llbetty of choos ing the officials who are to govern them nnd to do ho for mere partisan advnntnge is absolutely Indecent nnd indefensible. A provision requiring nn election to fill all olllces under the new charter, within, say, thirty days after its adoption, would do away with this very serious objection, und would bo welcomed and approved by all Just and fair-minded men," "Why not? Without abandonment of the Monroe doctrine, Cuba never can bo uncondi tionally Independent. It will be enough If her people shall have evpry reasonable opportunity to enjoy the rights nnd privileges, the protection of which la the purpose of government.

"Serge ant-inajiir," said the colonel, "let the men parade in their new helmets, and I will ce Hum at the same time."

From Hie Philadelphia Fir. The Pulled State's In pledging "independence" to Cuba pledged no more and no less a measurj of national power than American nations turn larly situated enjv. If the present constitu tional contention of fulu were to call oter an Fuiopcnn prlneo to head the new ttati the United Slates would act as cutalnly and more promptly than It did when a "eoiinill of nota bles" In the capital of Mexico called over an Austrian prince some forty .scars ago. A consti tution may lie-, as Cuban papeis argue, a domes tic Instrument, but It the new constitution opened tho wat eten for such a financial supei tlslon over Cuban railway and banking fran chises by foreign ngencie-s as Uracil permitted oter a generation ago under Hie empire, and fiom which Hie republic seeks to extricate Itself, the Fulled States would act without hesitation. Cuban "independence'" docs not permit Cuba to cede territory, to giant any i:uroan state a iort or loallng station, to establish any but a rrpublliiin form of goteinment or to mortgage Its ereellt so ns to Imperil Its financial or admin Utrulite autonomy. o Tliesoaroull the rights c! "Independent states." and the lights of all sum states etery manual of Intel national last declares to be equal, yet no American state to the south of Hie United States has Hie power to do these things, and Cuban "Inde-iKiidciice" as little permits thus. Pnless (icncral (inincz has been mlsreportnl he lias de ilaied that Cubans hate a light, If they prefer, to inisgotrrii Cuba. It must be giately doubt ed If Cuban Independence goes eten so far as that. A the Supicmc court has wisely slid, the Fuller! States lioleh Hie island as tni'tce, not for the gotemment, but for the people of the Island. "As between tho United States and Cuba," atd Hit- Supreme couit, "that Island Is territory held tu trust for the Inhabitants of Cuba." - o This Is the cestui quo tnist or ward for whom the Pulled States act', and, like any prudent guaidlan, the United Slates Is bound to consider til st and foremost the welfare of those for whom Its ails the inhabitant to whom Cuba right fully belongs and to whose cxclmitp tontrol it will be surrendered when n stable government shall hate been established by their voluntary ce.ni.eiit. This pledge will be facredly kept. Whether It w,i wise or fuvllsli or whether Cu bans are grateful or ungrateful Is npirt fiom the discharge of a solemn International pledge; but this pledge committed the United States to no Indefinite or unlimited independence, to no wilful mlsgotemmrnt and to no administration or constitution which docs not i epic-sent the teal will and real Interests of the Cuban people or "the Inhabitants cf tho Island." Win re a sov ereign KouTiuucnt exists In a gitrn territory it Is assumed that that govcitinuiit expresses the will and represents the Interests of the people oter which It rules and for which It speaks; but this is exactly what does not exUt In Cubi, There la no soterelgnty there, The "constitu tional contention" Is not the sovereign reprc sentatltc of a sotereign state, 'I he cfstuco and element of soterelgnty is and remains lu tiust in tho hands of the United States. There U no "Cuban" gotrrnmtiit, and therefore today no "Cuban" soterelgnty in Cutsin hands. "The declaration by congress," raid the Supreme court, "that the people of Cuba were, and of right ought to be, free) and Imlcpcndcnt was pot intended as u recognition ot an organized government Instituted by the people of thit Island." ct It could not he. lty the treaty of ParK oot trelRtity oter (siba pissed not In fee, so to speak, but In trust to the t'lilled States, and since but cne supreme sotiielgnty exists In any one territory the only sotrrrlgn In Cuba todsy Is this soterelgn power held by the United States as trustee. Ily result, as the Supreme court Justly atld, Cuba Is "foreign" to the sjs tern ol law by which the United States Is inter nally goterned, "foreign,' to use a technical term, to Us "municipal law" as distinguished from International law. Put being "foreign" Cuba Is by no means left free from the rightful and ncceaeary power of the Pulled States In discharging Ha trust. This power Is to be exercised, and the character and extent of Its exercise are to be determined by the political branch of our government. As the Supremo court talc!, the present relation of Cuba with the t'nlted Statin Is a polltlcat question, created by tho political branch with which the Judicial branch has nothing to do. o The Supreme court might as well be asked to enjoin congress ngalnst declaring war as against the steps needed to end conditions crett ed by wir. Both are "political" acts, both ire within the complete- ajid untrammcled discretion of rongrrw. This power and this deelaritlon arc not changed or altered beiause Cuba Is "for eign" to the United States. This power and this discretion both exist became the question I "political," and It is "'political" because Cuba Is "foreign." The Idea that the dictum of the Supreme court that Cubi Is "foreign" leates congress powerless to act In determining na tional imllcy In discharging the trust assumed by congress shows a complete misapprehension of the language and meaning of the Supreme court and of the precise elllTcienee between the legal tnd contltutlonil and the public and political powers of congress. The Supreme court was at the pslns to sav that the steps by whlih Cuba reached Its present position and was to leatc It wore botli "political," both In Hie power of Hie political branch of the gotern ment. So. other conclusion Is possible. Any other is prepostcious. So far Iroin precluding action by congress, the utterance of the Suprmie court points toward such action. LIBEL REFORM. Hon. Thomas V. Cooper, In the Delaware County American. The act of 1W7 Is weak lu gltlng too much power to the court, and taking all power from the- Jury. The latter should lute Hie ll.'ht to ccnslder the fiefs, and us well what is for the public wi'lfare, epeelilly when Judaea are them' seltes candidates for gmVc. Our cluertitlon goi-s to Hie effect that Jiidges urc then human, like the rest of us. The law of 1V7 abolishes the old legal nisxlm, "the gleatrr the truth the gleater the libel," and that was the leal ob ject, though it was hidden by a limit ulon of ilaiiiiges of Injuries actually sustained. Is either of these things Wholly right? The oil law had Its defects; Is the new- free from them? The old law protected public officers eten 'then their conduct was publicly wrong; the new law proteits none but tho newspapers. Not only the public officer but the prltate citlreii If he can In any way be connected with what Is or may become a public abuse, Is denied all tub. stantiai protection. Our atato has lawyers and judges aide enough and some editor broad enough to note the dc fcits of the old s.tstcm, and to note us well the defects of the new. The old muizlcd the pres as to public characters; the new has promoted the "yellow kid" Journal with Its rciklc seda tions and attacks upon public and prltate elnr actcrs. There ought to lie a safe line betttwn the two a golden mean and Just now is pre sented a good opportunity to Unci It. The ques tion Is of wide Interest, for good Journals In struct and clctatc the tone of all, while bad ones ireate greater wrongs than those they pre. tend to deplore, but upon which they thrlte. Olte us good, wholesome libel laws, such as will at one and the same time protect the fireside and pennlt the bratest exposure! ot public vt longs, and the right ststem will hate been icaclud. Our state has sufferetl at both ends of the ejin-s-tion and the fact Is known to all. TO THE BOYS OF THE NEW CEN TURY. From the mountain-peak ot Progress In the century to be.
