Balking Over Cubn.
O GOOD can come to the Re
publican party tluotiKh a
breach in policy between the
house leaders and tho presi
dent. It the action of the house ways
and means committee In shelving tho
matter of tariff concessions lo Cuba
means that. It means a mistake which
cannot too soon he reetllled. Senator
Piatt of Connecticut, one of tlw oldest
and wisest of men now in public life, a
lifelong Protectionist and representa
tive of :i state one of whose chief
industries, the tobacco Industry, is in
some degree menaced by lowered du
ties for Cuban tobacco, has summar
ized very aptly tho relation of tho
United Slates to Cuba, and his words
N
should be heeded by every Republican: I the rainy day that Is always in pros
"No man is bound to adopt a child, ' Vcvt- aml ' this beautiful entertain-
but, having adopted one of his own free
will and choice, ho is bound, by every
con.sideiation of humanity, honor and
justice, to treat It fairly and honestly.
The United Slates has adopted Cuba, ,
and it owes it to humanity, honor and
Justice to treat it fairly and honestly."
What constitutes "fair and honest"
ttoatment of Cuba? Opinion on this
point can hardly differ. Cuba's natural
market is the United States. She can
not soil with profit the bulk of her
production in any other. Nor can she
sell and live at the tariff rates now
prevailing. Without a market that will
provide her people with income she
cannot establish either an Independent
or a stable government. The testimony
as to this from those best informed Is
all one way. If we want a restless, dc
piessed and mutinous Cuba, with in
dependence only in name, and with
causes ripening for a second interven
tion in the Interest of our own welfare
and of the American community's
peace, then the policy of closing our
tariff door in our foster-child's face
should bo adhered to. But if we wish
to carry out in good faith what Presi
dent MoKlnley promised and began,
then this matter of Cuban reciprocity
will be taken up without delay and
hottlcd humanely and in a generous
spirit.

The New Militia BUI.
JN HIS recent annual report Secre
tary Root said that tho war de
partment was preparing a bill to
correct notorious evils of long
standing In tho militia. The bill is now
before congress. It represents, wo are
told, the best thought of representative
ofllcers In both the regular army and
the National guard.
Put Into few words, the proposed law
dollnes tho National guard as tho or
ganized militia of the United States and
requires, the pvgunlzatlon, armament
and discipline 6f,'thls mllllln, to conform
lo that pf tho roRultir army, H pro

erally In the United Stales, volunteers
raised In tho several states being of
ficered by appointment of the respect
ive governors, as heretofore, A suit
able ago limit Is fixed for each grade,
up to and Including colonel.
To provide u volunteer force of
trained men ready for immediate serv
ice, tho secretary of war may enroll
not exceeding lOOiOOO men, who shall
have served a full term In the regular
or volunteer armies or the National
guard. Enrollment Is ,for live years.
Knch person reporting once a year re
ceives $10 out of tho pay appropriation
of the nrmy. None of this force Is to
be organized, armed, uniformed or
equipped unless ordered Into service by
congress. The bill provides that In
the event of war, after the regular
army, the National guard shall bo
next called Into service, but na militia
mid lor domestic purposes only. If
volunteers arc needed, preference must
be given to any body of the National
guard from a company up. If not suf
ficient to meet tho call, then the en
rollment of trained men is resorted to.
When that Is exhausted the great mass
of cltizeu volunteers is drawn upon.
Tho Intent of this measure is to pre
pare in peace for war. When our last
war came there were just 27,000 men
propel ly equipped, drilled and com
manded to meet It. Tho present bill
would yield a force arranged like this:
Tho regular army, now 77,000 strong;
then tho National guard, 110,000 strong;
and a drilled reserve, 100,000 strong.
These forces, It is confidently believed,
could keep any enemy busy until the
unlimited raw leservos among our civil
i population could be u hipped into shape
to approacli the firing line. It is not
necessary to say that u bill of thin
character is a prime necessity, it Is
gratifying to learn that all interests
have agreed upon this bill and that it
I has practically no opposition.
The success of the Kit-mess is un
doubtedly a great .satisfaction to tlie
public which recognizes the worth of
tho object for which this elaborate
affair is a benefit. Teachers, worn out
by long service, and made helpless by
illness, are altogether too frequent a
spectacle. They are scarcely paid
enough here to permit of saving for
enl wnirii is attracting throngs dally

nucleus of a fund for the Teachers'
Mutual Benefit Association it should
receive the heartiest support. , There

tory. Sixty Years Ago.
w
RITING from Peoria, 111.,
to the Wilkes-Burre Rec
ord, Charles Myers, a for
mer resident Of these
parts, draws an interesting picture of
the Wyoming valley sixty years ago.
Our younger readers especially will find
it instructive. He says:
"There was no city In the valley sixty
years ago. Wilkes-Barre was the only
borough, and the villages. In name,
were Plttston, Wyoming (New Troy),
Kingston and Plymouth (then often
called 'Shawneetown'). Where Scrun
toa exists there was not even a village
only a hollow 'Sloeum Hollow."
"The Wllkes-Barro bridge with its
heavy wooden arches and shingled roof
was the only one across the Susque
hanna, and there were but three ferries,
one at Pittston, Miller's at Wyoming
and one at Plymouth.
"There was neither n railroad track
nor movable engine in the valley. Coal
banks along the foot hills supplied all
demands. Coal was transported by
canal and large arks. These arks car
ried about 100 tons of 'stone coal,' as
then called, and many of them failed to
reach tidewater, being either wrecked
upon the Nnntlcoko dam or the rocks In
tho river below.
"Tlie farmer hauled his coal, paying
therefor $1 a loud at the bank. Cunnl
boats were loaded from the Butler mine
nt Plttston 'and Baltimore at Wllkes
Barro. The coal was moved from tho
mines upon tramways In dumping cars
holding about three tons ouch, I often
noticed tho Baltimore cars running
down by gravity with their loads, some
three of them In a train, with horses
trotting along behind to pull the empty
cara bach,
"An Immense amount of lumber was
floated down the river upon the spring
freshets. Standing upon the bank at
Forty Fort at times the river beemod
to be half covered with rafts, mid they
wero large rofts, too, many of them
consisting of several single rafts lashed
together, having a good cabin lu the
centre. Tho lumber wus mostly nine
boards, Joists and timber, nil brought
from along the headwaters of the river,
and much of It taken down as for as
Havre do Grace and Baltimore.
"Steamboats plied between Wllkes
Barro and towns ns far up as New
York state, but made few trips, as they
fulled to produce satisfactory dividends.
Flbh were quite plentiful and frequent
ly a skirt load of eels would be taken
in one night from tlioeel wer at Mon
ocasy (slund, Just below Plttston.
"Passengers and malt wero conveyed
by four-hor3e stage coaches, Wn hud
great regurd for these lino 'coaches-und-four,'
as they were to us tho pride
of the road. When the Easton coach
rolled Into Wllkes-Barro heralded by
the melodious bugle It Inspired an en
thusiasm greater than can now be pro
duced, even when the great Black Dia
mond train lolls down the mountain
and enters your depot,
"Agriculture was tho principal occu
pation and from the well-tilled soil
large crops were produced. Harvesting
and haylnff were done entirely by the
cradle' and the scythe. Several crudr
1
leis, each followed by a 'rulco niul
binder,' wero necessary by large fann
ers, and as the work una considered
extra laborious, ll wiih customary to
Imbibe u llltle whiskey nt ruch lotiml,
and there no few farmers who did
not furnish the material.
"Thu nrt of distilling In those days
produced a variety of qualities. They
had a. domestic whiskey fur family use
(mild), an Invigorating kind that was
very slrehgthenlng for the laborers,
and a fighting whiskey especially for
election mid 'training' days.
"There were but few threshing ma
chines In uso and they wero of tilde
construction and wasteful of the grain,
therefore threshing wns dono mostly
with tho thill upon the burn floor.
"Nearly every farm had a thrifty
orchard and fruit was frequently lu
such abundance that thousands of
bushels went to waste. When tho trees
were in bloom thu .ulr would bo laden
with the rich perfume that would per
meate the whole valley. These orchards
were tho homes of the song birds. Those
most common, that I can remember,
were tho robin, blue bird, oriole, mock
lug bird, brown thrush, bobolink and
meadow lark: and these, wore assisted
ns an accompaniment by tho unmclodi
ous notes of tlie scolding king bin), tho
cat bird, blue jay, bob-white, drummer,
and the mournful coo of the ring dove.
"There were several carding and full
ing mills and the buzz of the spinning
wheel was heard lu more homes than
was the music of the organ or piano,
"There are a good many objects und
scenery of grandeur in the United
Stales, but none more beautiful, I
think, than was tlie Valley of Wyoming
sixty years ago. I hud many occasions
to view the valley from excellent vant
age ground upon the Kingston moun
tain opposite Forty Fort. The farms
were laid out In snips probably foity
to eighty rods In width, extending from
tlie river to tho mountain too; well
tilled, well fenced and, divided Into
llelds, they lesembled a huge checker
board. Upon a clear summer day, from
the view mentioned, the scene piesont
ed was fascinating beyond description.
Here a field of dark green corn, the
bjades quivering in the gentle breeze;
there a Hold of rye icady for tho sickle
near it wheat just changing from
green to yellow then the duik summer
fallow the green growing oats beyond
near which tho pasture lot with its
grazing klnc then the meadow and the
orchard. Thus farm after farm ic-
peated .this variety. Beyond them the
sparkling waters or the serpentine liver
shimmered in the sunlight and still
beyond were the rolling hills of Jacob's
Plains, interspersed with groves and
cultivated land then beyond all these
rose as a background the wood coveted
mountains crowned by the uncovered
head of Bald mountain.
"The development of coal came like a
giant octopus throwing out its power
ful arms and devouring the land. Under
its crushing force the beauty of Wyo
ming Valley was blotted out, never
again to be restored. Railroads plowed
through its surface and mining poured
forth mountainous culm piles. The lino
farms were thrown out to the common
the orchards went to decay the song
birds, bereft of their homes, have llown
from the havoc the hills are denuded
of their beautiful groves tho noted
umbrella tree, that spread its folds high
above the forest upon Kingston moun
tain, was sacrificed tho fragrance of
apple blossoms changed to stifling mine
gas and tho whole valley changed
from its rural quietude to a veritable
sea of turbulent commotion."
This change, of course, was Inevitable
and, in a broad view, tuklng into ac
count tlie largest good of the greatest
number, not to be regretted. Will the
changes to be visible sixty years hence
equal in magnitude those of the three
score years lust gone by? Here Is a
fine field for the fancy to play over. Wo
should be glad to print guesses as to
what these changes will be.

cicasp freni 171, 731, 012 pounds to 197,031,730
pounils. Anc.tlicr indication that the reduction
in tho v line of exports is due quite a.s much to a
fill In price! as in qtnntity is found in the fiot
(hat while the quantity of icuned mineral oil
exported showed an increase of iietriy 100,000,000
pallons, the .ilue fchowed a di'Ctiace of about
$1,000,0 JO; the total exportation of lelmrd min

cotton and mineral oils both show an actual in

Thts usRiegatc of practically $100,000,000 reduc

ly otfi-et hy the increase in exports of wheat,
proilslnns, live animals and cotton manufactuies,
cotton feed oil and oil cake, and leather and
manufactures thereof. Add to this the further
fact that the shipments to Hawaii and Porto
ltico aggregated probildy fully 0,000,000, and
the rocoiei of 1901 will compare favorably with
that cf any preceding .tear.

six- millions, and while the ofticial Agnus of ex

t-i'un and one-half millions to Hawaii were in
cluded in 1111, in the iijiues of exports to
Ucianka, shows tliat the actual shipments to
