It begins to look us though the rnll

Truly Golden.
AT A TJM13 when the court
are busy Heverlng Irksome;
marital bonds, and when
among a largo and growing
number of the Amerleun people the
question Is being asked, "Is mnrrlnge
it failure?" there Is peculiar gratifica
tion, both on the personal side and as
a beuutll'ul and wholesome object les
son. In tliu observance of a golden
wedding.
Fifty years married! Not fifty
years passed In frivolity or dedicated
to lonely selfishness, but fifty years of
comradeship: of mutual nuxletles,
sacrifices, trials and joys. In tho even
ing of life, to look hack upon so long
a period of home-making and home
keeping, with children and grandchil
dren gathered about and prospects
bright for many more years of useful
ness and companionship, is an experi
ence vouchsafed lo few. Custom has
wisely selected tho llftieth nnnlvusary
as a suitable occasion' for exceptional
commemoration. It Is well nnmi'il the
'golden" wedding: for the love which
alone warrants the existence of mar
riage has, after t-o long a lest in tho
crucible of daily vicissitude, become re
lined like unto pure gold.
In every land tho fiftieth unnlver.sary
of a marriage is made an opportunity
for the proffeiing of congratulatory
-.veil wishes. But it heems lo us that
there is a special and peculiar call for
public interest and good will in the
golden wedding of an American uniplc
like William and Annie Counell
Mvo persons who, In tho morning of
life, when tlielr worldly circumstances
were poor an tho poorest, bravely faced
the future, wrestled with Its discour
agements, kept faith and hope and mu
tual confidence in the long years when
piivations wore many and success was
uncertain, and lived to realize to an ex
ceptional degree the rewauls which
Anierlcan Institutions place within the
reach of merit.
Such an example offers a powerful
lnccnti lo uprUht citizenship, and
makes an Irresistible call upon the ap
preciative sympathy of all classes ami
conditions of men. Jlay the evening of
their days be peuceful and uuvexed.
Whun General Dh 1; gets on the llring
line it Is expected that he will make
the Koiakerltesshlver in their kopjes.

THAT the fight now waging at
Columbus, O,, is one of des
peration on tho part of both
the supporters and oppon
ents of Marcus A. Ilimnu, with the oli-
jectlvo point, not the mere gaining or
losing ot a tew legislative unices, but
the continuance or retliement of Sen

in now plain to all. Says the Colum

an element of bltterpess in this oppo

among Forakcr's Ohio friends that he
Is srasplnk and unfair. How much
truth there Is In thlsNlt any, wo do not
know. It may he partly true or wholly
false; but It Is a belief largely preva

active llepubllcan political workers and
people of the HUckeye state and It,
therefore, goes far to explain tho ex

In looking over the pnst year ot pros
perity one must admit that tho calam

creating considerable anxiety upon
small capital.
Ctibn'3 First Real President.
T1IH FtUST president of Cuba,
Tomas Kslrada I'alnin, whoso
Inauguration will take place
early In the spring, was born
lu Huyamo, province of Santiago, Cuba,
In 1S3I5, or wealthy parentage. He re
ceived a liberal education and was a
practicing lawyer when the insurrec
tion of 1SCS, known as the Ten Years'
War, broke out. lie espoused It and
on that account his father's estates
were confiscated by the Spanish gov
ernment and his mother killed by
Spanish troops under circumstances ot
levolting brutality.
During that war Senur Pultun at
tained the rank of general tin ouch ef
fective lighting In the field and upon
the death of General Cespcdcs succeed
ed to the presidency of the insurrec
tionary or provisional government. In
1S77 he was captured by Spanish sol
diery and deported to Spain as a pris
oner of war. Freedom from captivity
In the castle of Flgueros was offered to
him If he would swear allegiance to the
Spanish crown, hut he refused.
A year later, at tho close ot the In
surrection, he was liberated and came
to this country. Then he went to Hon
duras, where he had many friends.
There he met and mairied Senorlta
Ouardlola, whoso father was president
of Honduras. That was twenty years
ago. General Pnlma became closely
allied with the federal power In Hon
duras and was made postmaster gen
eral of the republic. At the outbreak
of the Cuban revolution in February,
lSih", General Palma was chosen as for
eign envoy for the revolutionary paity.
He became the head of the "Junta," as
the Xew York bureau of the rebels was
known, and woiked indefatigably for
the cause. He was also elected piesi
dent of the council of Cuban patriotic
clubs. He superintended the purchas
ing: of arms and ammunition, chartered
steamers to curry filibustering expedi
tions, and at the same time aided In the
direction of hostilities in the Held. When
the Spanish Hag in Cuba was finally
lowered Ju defeat, General Pnlma ip
tired to lils home in Central Valley, X.
Y., where he supported himself by pre
siding over an Institute for boys. He is
a line linguist, speaking English as well
as several other languages lluently,
and, unlike most Cubnns, Is of the
blond type in personal appearance. In
manner he is collected, and he has ex
cellent judgment. There can be no
question that of the men considered he
was by all odds the best qualified to
supervise successfully the launching of
a new government in Cuba. To a cor
respondent who saw him at Cherry Val
ley on Tuesday, he said:
"The principal object of the Cuban
republic should be first of all to secure
the most friendly relations with ihe
American people, who helped us in our
hour of need. Wo will always bear In
mind the work of the United States in
helping us to obtain our independence
from Spanish rule, and at the same
time we should try to secure fiom the
Washington government all the ad
vantages possible from our products by
leasonable reductions of the Import
duties, especially on sugar and tobacco,
as this Is the only way for Cuba to es
cape the absolute ruin of these two in
dustries, which are the only bases of
Cuba's actual wealth. Without this
heuellt the Cuban people will find them
selves In great dlhlrcss and subject to
disturbances fioin lack of employment;
without this benefit all the sacrifices of
the Cubans for their freedom will be at
naught, for in a starving condition they
cannot enjoy their Independence. I am
convinced that the people of the United
States know very well that it Is to their
own Interest that Cuba be lu a piosper
ous condition and In a state of order
and pence, and for that leason I am
sure that a majority of the Amei leans
will favor a commercial treaty between
the countries advantageous both to the
Called Stales and Cuba."
lu this Judgment he Is absolutely
right. '
I'reHident Castio's happy new year
was fraught with manifestoes and ulti
matums. Centralized Control ol Churitlea.
ONU OF the sweeping recom
mendations In tho second
message of Governor Odell of
Now York 13 that tho various,
boards of manage) s of the state re
formatories, cluultablo Institutions
and hospitals bo abolished and their
control ho centralized vpider the state
coinmlbbiou lu lunacy and tho stato
board of charities, subject to Inspec
tion by annually appointed boards of
visitors. The governor Is moved to of
fer this recommendation by reason of
tho wide variations In cost of main
tenance of these Institutions, covering
a ranee of neurly 100 per cent, per
capita per week, and In consequence
of his belief thut many of these insti
tutions are now "not run bo much for
tho benefit of the Inmates 'as for the
exposition of peculiar and sentimental
Ideas thut should have no part In their
management." Ho figures out that the
adoption of his suggestion would ef
fect a saving of ut least $750,000 a year
with Increased elllclency of adminis
tration. To what an extent such u
system would be practicable In I'onn
sylvunia Is u question too Important
for t drtcrinlnnllon without thorough
consideration. Hut If In New York It
shall he tiled and found successful, Its
Introduction In this commonwealth
could hardly bo long delayed.
President l'alma, of Cuba, lain de
monstrated that It Is possible to con
duct n most successful campaign ut
long range.
Odcll on Sunday Opening.
IN VIEW of the widespread Inter
est which bus been uroused by
the discussion over Sunday
opening In New York, that part
of Governor Odell's message which ro
tors to changes In New York's excise
law Is entitled to nullce.
The governor rellcuites his belief In
the principle of homo rule for cities,
but says It should not bo the shibbo
leth for tho enactment of laws not In
harmony .with general stato legisla
tion. When It Is sought under tho cry
of homo rule to enact laws which are
repugnant, distasteful and Injurious to
other portions ot the state, then, he
says, "we have exceeded the powers
that were sought to bo given to locali
ties, and home rule would become a
mere excuse for tho violation, by legal
forms of laws desired by the remaind
er of the state." The governor con
tinues: "Daring tho last municipal campaign
in our greater city there arose a dis
cussion with reference to local option.
Local option as It relates to the liquor
tralHc Is understood as meaning that
In all communities other than cities
the Inhabitants thereof shall have the
light to determine whether liquor
shall be sold in such communities six
dnys of the week, and upon the deter
mination of that question the excise
department predicates Us administra
tion. Tills right was given because be
fore the enactment of the present ex
cise law It was within the power of
the voters or ot the appointing author
ities In the municipalities and villages
to absolutely prohibit the sale of liq
uor by electing or appointing a board
opposed to the granting of such li
censes. It Is a well known fact that
in the original draft the same lights
as to local option were sought to bo
given the municipalities, and that they
do not possess them is due to the op
position of their own representatives.
"There can be no objection to sub
mitting this same question to the vot
ers of the titles, If it is so desired, as
It would bo treating all parts of the
stale alike, lint If by local option is
meant the right to determine whether
the doors of the saloons may legally
remain open on Sundays, then a dif
ferent pioposltion is presented, and a
departuie is proposed from the fixed
rules which have governed the admin
istration of our excise laws, and it
then becomes a question which con
cerns not only a particular city, but
every section of our state. Each local
ity owes to all others a due regard for
their rights and convictions and their
moral and physical comfort. No such
departure should, therefore, be sanc
tioned nor power delegated to locali
ties touching, as this would, upon the
fundamental principles which have
hnd their growth from the foundation
of our country, unless clearly desired
by a majority of the people of the
state. Before submitting a referen
dum to the cities, the whole question
should be passed upon by the people
at large.
"It would seem that the laws which
we have would prevent the alleged
abuse of the privileges accoided to the
hotels, with resultant Immorality, If
such laws were llgldly enforced by a
police honestly and elllclently adinin
Isteied. If, however, such laws are
not broad enough in their scope to
reach the particular evils complained
of, it should be your duty by amend
ment to stiengthen and to make more
certain their proper enforcement."
Ry way of emphasizing his position
he concludes: "I am convinced that
this attempt to inject Into the policy
of our stato a question so at variance
with the moral convictions ot a vast
majority of the people Is unwise and
uncalled for. Such a departure could
not but be harmful to the state at
large, because it would be extending
to a particular line of business lights
which are withheld from others. If
open saloons should he authorized In
cosmopolitan cities, demands would
soon follow for licenses from other
branches of business, and might reach
tin extent that would arouse the con
sciences of every man and every
woman in our commonwealth who be
lieve not only In a day of rest, hut In
tendering to Cod, who has blessed us
as a nation, the homage that Is due
Him.
"Ulackmall can never he stopped so
long ns men are corrupt, but it can be
lessened and almost entirely done
away with If those charged with the
administration of our laws follow out
the principles which they are sworn to
uphold. A failure In this direction
renders them liable to the severest
punishment, us their enforcement of
the law would make possible tho quiet
enjoyment by all of our people of tho
day set apart both by secular and
moral law as a day of rest und wor
ship. 1 feel, theiefore, that no legis
lation should bo enacted except there
Is more of a general demand than is
appaient at present, and that under
no circumstances should a referendum
bo permitted to municipalities until
sanctioned by the entire electorate of
the state." i
