i:icctlon Ftbiuary IS.
Pennsylvanluns would, of course, like
to see lliflr Justice Brown upon tho
United States Supremo bench; but If
the successor to Justice Shlr.is Is to be
n citizen of another state, none would
jileuhe thorn hotter than former Attor
ney General CIHkks. In every lespect
ho Is well qualified.
Judicial Salaries.
THE PAY of the Federal
judiciary is absurdly out of
prooortlon tn tho Income of
men of equal ability in ac
tive uractlco of tho law. This is es
pecially true of the judges of the Su
preme court. If it were proposed by
a mesident of tho United States to
nominate for justice of our hlchest
tribunal a man who, in the practice of
his profession, hail not been able to
'impress his ability upon the public
consciousness sufficiently to earn more
than tho salary of the judicial office, a
howl of protest would arise from one
end of the country to the other.
It is proper to consider that when a
man is named for a judicial office tho
people csnect Mm to abandon all avo
cations of a profit-winning character
and give his whole time, talent and at
tention to tho functions and duties of
his office. This Is not true of any other
class of Federal employes. There is no
Impropriety in a congressman, for In
stance, or a revenue collector or a
postmaster havinj? personal business
ntcrests aside from the interests of
ihe government. He can Invest in real
ostate or engage in a mercantile pur
suit or speculate. The only require
ment Is that he shall be honest and
straightforward with the government.
But the judge on the bench can do
none of these tilings. No matter how
honest mav be tho business enterprise
ji which ho Is asked to participate,
there is an unwritten but imperious
rule founded on tho highest propriety
that he must be absolutely aloof from
all things not immediately germane to
his oflico.
Tho United States pays its judiciary
the smallest salaries, in proportion to
the work and character reaulred, of
those paid by leading countries; yet
every year the requirements are In
creasing and the standards of living
considered becoming to the judicial
station are growing more costly. Sen
ator Hoar has introduced a bill In
creasing these salaries 23 per cent, and
it should pass. By right, the salaries
ought to bo doubled.
The demands made by miners and op
erators at Indianapolis present plenty
of margin for getting together.
The Pan-American Congress.
ONE OF tho American represen
tatives at the Pan-American
congress which recently con
cluded Its sittings in the City
or Mexico was Charles JI. Peppor, tho
well known newspaper man. In a letter
to tho Washington Star ho gives nn
informing review of what tho congress
nvas in its personnel and what it did.
AH tho countries of tho western hemi
sphere were represented except Brazil,
One of her delegates died so soon be
fore the congress opened that it was
not thought proper to namo a succes
sor, and her place, consequently, was
vacant. Two weeks before tho con
gress adjourned, Venezuela withdraw
her delegation. Otherwise tho congress
was representative of tho nineteen re
publics Invited to It.
Mr. Pepper speaks well of tho person
nel of tho congress. It was, ho says,
representative In tho fullest sense.
Members of congress, vlco presidents,
cabinet ministers, diplomatists of ex
perience and prospectlvo presidents
composed it. All camo with pro
arranged programmes, to which they
adhered loyally; and many sharp dif
ferences developed, but they clung to
tho main purposes of tho conference
until finally a basla of harmony was
reached. The significance ot tho con
gress rgsjs less In what was actually
accomplished than In tho Impetus
which It has Given to tho spirit of Pan
Amerlcanlsm. Mr, Pppper reports that
theiis was a general looking forward
umong the Latin-American delegations
to futuro congresses and to tho knit
ting together of American Interests
which .they will effect,
Th'e one great toplo which engaged
the attention of the congress, and
which nearly caused a breaking up of
the assembly, was International arbl
tratlon for the countries of the west
ern hemisphere. There were delega
tions which wanted peace so earnestly
that they would have fought to make
arbitration of all differences compul
sory. Others, In turn, were opposed to
urbltratlon In any form that seemed
to threaten a curbing of tho land
KXpbbW habit. I5aJwscn Iheso two ex
tremes a flerco battle waged, but final
ly it basis ot harmony wns evolved. A
protocol was signed declaring that the
principles declared tit tho international
peaco conference leconlly hold upon In
vitation of the czar ot Itussla at Tho
Hague Blin.lt bo considered as American
public taw; and tho United States
and Mexico were authorized to jointly
negotiate with tho signatory powers of
Tho Itnguo convention for tho admis
sion Into It ot the other nations of the
American hemisphere when they Blmll
ask to be admitted,
Supplementing this protocol, nn nrll
clo was adopted requesting tho presi
dent .of Mexico to ascertain tho views
of the different governments represent
ed In tho conference regarding the
most advanced form In which a gen
erul ntbltratlon convention could bo
drawn that would meet with tho np
ptovat and rccuro tho final ratification
of all the countries in the conference,
and after tho conclusion of his inquiry
to prepare u plan for such a general
convention us would apparently meet
tho whites of all tho republics. If pos
sible ho Is to arrange for a series of
protocols to carry the plan Into execu
tion, or if this should bo found im
practicable, to present the correspond
ence with a report to tho next confer
ence. As a balm to tho nations which
insisted upon compulsory arbitration,
tho conference received and filed trea
ties t.ccoptlng the compulsory feature
drawn and signed by them. Those trea
ties, of course, nlfect only tho countries
signing them.
Tho United Stafa delegation, Mr.
Peppor says, kept Itself well In the
background so far ns controversies
went, and contented itself with exer
cising moral influence. Thus it allayed
any possible fooling of jealousy which
might have existed and calmed tho
delusion thnt this country is animated
with a desire to play tho boss over tho
other republics. Before tho conference
ended the feeling of tho other delegates
toward the United States was most
cordial. Proof of this was shown, says
Mr. Pepper, when tio problem of tho
inter-oceanic canal, which has been the
source of uneasiness and many conflict
ing, views, was solved by a sonorous
resolution applauding the purpose of
the United States to construct tho canal
ns worthy of the greatness of the
American people and In the highest
sense a work of civilization. This res
olution, as a special compliment, was
signed by all the delegations except
that of the" United States.
The future, of course, must deter
mine how much good will come out of
these efforts to bring about a belter
understanding among the frequently
jealous American republics. It is nat
urally a problem the solution of which
takes time. That the drift is in the
direction of harmony is encouraging;
and statesmanship can only wait, work
and hope.
The tobacco leaf used for wrapping
cigars comes almost entirely lrom
Sumatra. It costs from uO cents to
'i a pound, In addition to tho duty of
$1.83 which it has to pay at our cus
tom house. Some time ago tho agri
cultural department Imported heed of
the Sumatra tobacco and undertook tho
experiment of growing it in this coun
try. Certain soil in Connecticut seemed
well adapted and theie the seed was
planted, the plants, when sprouted, be
ing protected by cheese-cloth screens.
A harvest of this crop, amounting to
about 40,000 pounds, is nearly ready
to be sold. It will bo sold at auction
in New York on its moi its. It has cost
SO cents a pound and the belief among
tobacco men is that it will bring in
open market not less than ?2 a pound,
a prico both low enough to undercut
the Imported leaf and high enough to
provide a profit of slightly more than
100 per cent, for the domestic growers
and handlers. Score another for
Yankee ingenuity.
Chief Austin of the bureau of statis
tics at 'Washington i3 under fire' on
the charge of having used the clerical
force under his command to compile
Information which he is alleged to have
used In contributions to periodicals for
his private gain. Tho charge comes
from nn angry subordinate and doubt
less has no foundation. But it supplies
an opportunity for saying what ho have
long had In mind to sny; and that Is,
that nevor In tho history of statistical
calculation has better work been done
than Is now being done by tho depart
ment over which Mr. Austin presides.
The fact that Mr. Austin's work is in
demand outside of official channels Is
an Increased testimonial to his effi
ciency. Tho Waterbury fire shows why In
surance rates are increasing in this
country. There Is too much sham and
too little genuine, fire-proof construc
tion. Tho Amcilcan people aro too
easily satisfied with buildings that
look nice on the outside and on the
Inside are mere shells.
At Helena, Mont., If present plans do
not miscarry, Ella Murray, a Missouri
lady, S feet 1 Inch tall, weight exceed
ing JOO pounds, will soon wed Edward
Bonupre, whose height Is 8 feet exactly
anil weight UG7 pounds. Here's wishing
them large happiness.
Senator Spooner's bill to put the
choosing of u canal louto In tho discre
tion of tho president, meanwhile giving
him tho wherewithal to do business, Is
a sensible short-cut to action. Tho
alternative Is Indefinite delay.
It begins to look us tlioiujh the
greater portion of the money uUsed
for the ransom of Miss Stouo would be
absorbed by the expense account of
the committee In charge of Its delivery,
With all her faults, Mrs. Soffel ap
pears to have been superior in Intellect
to tho women who flocked to tho But
ler Jail in a blinding Btorm to view the
remains of Ed, Biddle. v
According to a new executive order,
government employes must not lobby

Partisans of Admhnl Schley say

quiry. They will on one condition. It
must bo what thev want.
In tho matter of obeying tho consti
tutional mandate wlfh respect to re
strictions of tho suffruKO, congress
should recollect that while caution Is
good, Courage is better.
Contemplation of the Philippines
tariff question lcmlnds us that the
oratorical bolo throwers of the senate

In these days of copious nowspaper
Illustration It is often difficult to dis

Wu Ting-fang will doubtless be duly
grieved to loom that ho has forfeited

Gomuors.
According to accounts, Governor Toft
has found it. easier to pacify the Fili

CUBA, A PARTNERSHIP.
Dy WVdlir J. Dill ml.
N" THUbl! d.iyj of nnIcly to do the best wo
consistently can for Cuba in her hour of
vntrcinity, tho recognition ol our nior.il obli.
cation will not bo out of plate, but timely.
Our contract with Cuba and the world, was to eco
her frum the SpauUli jolce, and to (jive her In
dependence. It is not in keeping v.ftii American
ideils, intentions and iimpow, to put too n.ir
low .i inc.inlii; on those words "she her iiulo
ptndenec." Tho Americanism of today, broid in
Itself, U ready to ns broadly continue those words
not Independence with povtity, but independ
ence with tiicli incasuic ot niatciiol or larilF as
sistance, as miy bo nccMMry to enable "Cuba
lihie" to make n fair st.ut aloni: that load ot
emlo.iv or, nliitli, with Mine outside assistance,
as biought us to v. here we aic today. Then again
we must icininibor tint Culn is our nearest
neighbor by way of the mm, and it h manifestly
not to our Inteioct to have a poicity stricken or
Unanciilly cmbairasscJ neighbor,
Still fuithcr wo must boar in mind that alrerdy
millions of Ameiican money b.ue been inu'slcd in
Cuba, so that by helping her, wo are nl-o help
ing our own and providing an oppoi tunity fn'
tho inicslnicnt of millions more of tli.it asl Moic
of suiplus capital, which if not employed, is a
Eoiuec of aniety.and d Differ. j
Cuba does not aM: of in that full incasuie of
trade liberty, which would be lieu, were the a
member of the Aracricm family, as are the
Philippines, I'orto Itlco and Hawaii. All fhe asks
is tint our markets be partially opened to her
pioducts mainly susar and tobacco. As we pio
duce only a tithe of whit we u-o c thoie com
modities, is theie not safety, as well as reason
and jiMico in Ki.intin? lici piajer? Wo Uao 4,
003,000,000 pounds of ni,'jr jcnly, .mil all wo
pioduce at home or in our dependencies-, includ
ing our beet-suftar, is 000,000,000 pounds leais
1,000,000,000 pounds to be bought.
Does reducing the Migar duties n to Cuba,
mean that wc shall bo at once Hooded with Cub. n
sugar to cthe injury of our beet and other ( ir
interest-.? Xot by any means, as the figure just
published by the UiiIuii of Insular Allah s or
our depaitment of state fully tcstif). for in
stance in lbt)9 our inipjil of hu.ii- fiom Cubi w.u
710,00,000 pounds .ilucil at ?1S,MO,COO, and in
1000, on 2,000,000 pounds of the lalue ot !flo,00J,
000. There ii a long, ery long way to lrael,
between '-'.OOO.OOO pound:,, and the l.OjJ.irlo.MM
pounds we aro compelled to impoit nnnmlli.
Hut, some nny say, let Cuba fend her suiplas
sugar to other lountilcs she cinnot, for the eiy
simple reason that she is as helple-s to do ioicign
bmliie-:-, as aie any of our manufactuuis who .uc
engaged in any line, without capital. It tike-s
money to do business and m ike monej. Cuba
lias no more), and IhncfoU' is limbic to incieiso
her fcug.ir ucieago, produce inoie, or to feud
agents abicad to sell it. In tonic way or other,
wo mu-t "go paitncr" with Cuba, until fc'ie is
able to walk alene. Accoullng to the report be
fore quoted, her tale of sug ir, to countries other
than the United Mates in ItOO, was only 112 2S5
pounds .i!utd nt $1,121, and In 1000, only 13'i.Stt
pounds, of tho alueyof i,ud'. I'.ien were Cuba
able to produce inoii' and sell it outside of us,
still oi.i in.ul.ot is her nitui.il maihet wo ntcd
her sugar und tnbiceu and he needs our money,
but iinlcs-, our t ji if? to ha N lowered, she cannot
continue to pioduce at a llilng prodt.
It Is r.jt a elniltable donation wo aie asked
for, but .i limited p.ntueishlp. Ily loweiing our
duties for a stated teim of jeais, wo enter tho
Cuban (am as n limited p.ntner, without any
chance of losing our money by bid debts, fur
tho ic.13011 tli.it we ouiaduti cm and ,ill bu all
her pioducts fci u good many more )o.iii, than
it is now nece-sjiy or pcvdblu to dellno. ' Lowei
ing tho duties to Cuba, will be followed by an
inllut of Amcilcan capital and American cceu
the labor, by which wc shall share in tho pioflts
and tal.iries uf tho pioducir. liven on tho felft-.li
giound of fdMiiteic'l, it is eminently desirable
that we give Cuba whit she modei.itely and jutly
asks. Wo did not plunge into the Spanish km ti

THE WHIPPING POST.
Tor llic Tribune,
Tho Justlco of a hw, I fill to see,
That makes the innocent blnre in the penally.
That nil doing mctlts puuMmuut,
(ices without question, but tho innocent
Should not be mado tho punishment to share,
Aul hws tint nuke them aic an) thing but fair.
A line, unless ROiidlculuusly small.
That it becomes no punishment nt all,
llspcclally if tho eulpnt poor shall be,
Is punishment to his whole family.
And many a household actual want has known,
'iliat so-called justlco might recche Its own
A foolish man, who takes a glasi too mmh.
And I'.uds himself in outiaged Justice ilut.li,
Is diaged K-to'.e tho bar without duii).
Ami in ido sonw doll irs, us a Hue, to pay,
Oct it lie must in some way, if ho fall.
lie knows ho will bo called oil to Jill.
And though hl fJiully w int for food und clothes
The flue is pjld that "Justice" doth impo-e,
l'or euch a c.i-o I advocate tho lash,
And not the taking of Ids hard earned cash.
A few smart blows upon Ids nikid pelt,
Would bo a tcntcneo by the culprit 1t.lt;
And wife and ehlldicn not bo nude to bear
Tho price for wrong in which they had no share,
Don't lift )our hands in horror ami dccl.uo
'that 'twould bo baibatous, brutal or unfair;
"I'would simply esny out tho law's intent,
Serving to punish, also to prevent.
All men aio cowards unto soma dcgicr,
And the most buitiil are most cowaidl).
And though both jail und fine they boldly daro
Of their mean hides tlicj'cl take right picclous
e.iie,
And If they were caught once, it would suffice;
TliejM not como luck to l.iko H twice, or thrice,
How many "drunks" would bo upon thu street?
How many "trami" or "hobos" would you
meet?
How many petty criminals would there be,
If whipping punished their rascality?
A whipping post in cveiy town, and toon
Tramps would b rarer than snovvflaUes in June;
And as a temperance measure it would reacli
I'aithcr than all the orators, who preach;
The rogue, who half enjoys 4 term in Jail,
lkfore a sentence ot the lash would quail.
The brute, who robs his family to buy drink
Tho whipping post would cause to stop and think.
The man, who treats Ids family with neglect,
Would hold the cat-o'-nino talis in respect,
Kadi person weak and viciously inclined,
Would have tho penalty impressed upon his mind,
And many a vicious person It would (lack,
Who, for )pur jalks and line, bat uo respsvet.
