In qiiartfis where one inlKlit ovpo't some iIcki-co ol" radical ism Hie niajorltle'i In the locnlM against n strike arc significant of the deep sealed belief that this Is not an oppor tune time for n stilke, and Inking the poll as a whole, Lackawanna's voice Is strongly pacllie and w!e. This eypies.-lon of opinion, it should be ndded, Is not the woi k of outside pressure or Importunity, hut reflects the spontaneous belief of the working miners and their delibeiate judKinent after raiefully, caiivassliiff the situa tion. Jt is nut too much to say that, while the substantial business elements of the communlly are adverse to a strike find hopeful even yet that u calamity o serious may be avoided, they lifted no linger to Riilde tin mine workers lo a conclusion in conformity with their views. On the contrary, it has been generally recognized, as The Tribune recently pointed out, that this question was one for Hie miners to set tle for and by themselves. Tiietr's is the chief risk anil thelr's should be the responsibility of deciding'. "Vu note as an important feature of the voting that many delegates have been instructed virtually to find out what John Mitchell wants and then to favor it. In view of Hie recent el'foi ts of certain Influences within the miners' organization to run counter to Mitch ell's judgment and to make Ills woik more dillleull. this is especially sig nificant as indicative of the linn bold which Mitchell has upon Hie esteem and ' confidence ()t the rank and file. We have no Idea how far It Is his de she, or purpose to go at Hauleton in avoiding the miseries and uncertainties of a prolonged strike; but It Is only ex pressing the common sentiment to s.iy that the wise and cautious course he has already pursued In this mutter has gained for lilin a ilea roe of confidence among cun-ervatlV" people not often extended to the leaders of large labor movements. .-'onietinieK It has hap pened that as lal.oi le.ideis haw built up ii icputatlou among substantial poople for coolness and fairness they have 'simultaneously lost c.isle with .the lliv-ealers and sbnulers. We do not know how this matter stands among the mine workeitt with refer ence to John Mitchell; but It Is plain from tho balloting in the Lackawanna Mllsirlct Hint he is more than ever In conimand of the situation within the organization so far as this prfrt of the I'oal fields Is concerned; and for that l.ict we congratulate the miners. Ileports from the lower coal Holds vary so widely that until there Is a clearing of the atmosphere piedletion as to the Tlazlelou outcome will he un safe. Tho only piedletion that seems to bo vontuivtble Is Hint the convention will take ample time to consider tho situation and work out a conclusion. A dollnlto iinniniuc-ement Is hardly to . be expected before Fiiday or Saturday. Jt begins to loon as though tho oily authuiltlcs would have diflleulty in de ciding where the line should bo drawn in tho matter of Issuing licenses to huc'kblers. 1 s Ono Thlnp; at a Time. 0 FAU AS them Is serious and sincere discussion of the Phil ippine tllllKle, tho pivot of j 'controversy seems to be tho , question asked of Henntor Fornker by '. Fenutor Hoar during tho former's elo i queue speech on Monday, Mr. Hoar rwuntecl to know If tho senator from jQJilo,. would say that, when all of the jiiUeriuillonul obligations of tho United I .States with inspect tt tint Philippines as contracted In tho Paris tiealy had bijcii fulfilled, when tho Filipinos had established u government In honor and shown' themselves lit to maintain It, jWidvhou tlipy-uleslred Indepundenco Jmd'er thoso conditions, ho would then r?cognlzq their vljjht to havo Indepeiid eftre ThIs. In effect, is also the ques tion "which Is giving" uneasiness to President Bchurinau, "No doubt those who usk this ques tion are mostly slnceie and In some cases really anxious. Senator Hoar Is. It would lift n. loud from Ills nlliid nnd augment appreciably tho buoyancy of Ill's spirit If congress should, forthwith declare unto remote generations ltd u- tentlon to confer Independence Upon the tlilsky wards' of the far Eastern setts Whom tTnclo Hani Is now chastis ing for treachery nnd cruelty exceed ing Hie worst icport of Apache days. Kven President Kehurninn, who de veloped while on l ho spot u fair apti tude for taking the practical view, has, flnro his return to academic groves anil cloistered nlcove?, permitted the scholastic Imagination lo play huiso with his common seme. Hut the groat majority of the Ameri can people, haul headed by heredity and level-headed by necessity, aro con tent to defer the crossing of that par ticular bridge until It shall have been rrnchul In the course of centuries. They recognize that the duties of the moment sttUleo to occupy their time and energy without leaving much to rparo for tho Idyllic contemplation of castles In the air. .For this reason they tire backing up the lulmlnlstiatlou in tho niagnlllcontly practical and effec tive work It is doing In the Philippines, paying little atlenilnii to the kickers, obstructors, slnnderers and nilsllt In tel meddlers who ate seeking to em barrass that Vifirk, and not In the least losing sleep over the far-off con tingencies which weigh so unneeessaiv lly upon the sensibilities of Hie vener able and benignant senalor from Massachusetts. The opponents of John 1'. Klkln evi dently want delegates badly. Prospects in Cuba. TIIK president-elect of Cuba, after having completed a til uniphat tour of that island, wlilcli he had not seen since taken fiom It, a prisoner, nearly a quarter of a century ago. is now In Ha vana, awaiting his Inauguration and formal assumption of authoilty, May U0. In all his words and actions thus far, (encml Palnia lias exhibited wis dom, prudence and self-control. Ho seems to be undoubtedly the man for the place. In view of the nearness of Cuba's entry Into the list of independent na tions, Interest le-nttnches to an esti mate of her future submitted by Gen eral Pal ma some time ago in the Inde pendent. After treating at length of the capabilities anil needs of the Cuban sugar industry, a subject now familiar, he continued: "We hope to extend the productive energy of the people of the island to the utilization of other, and very valuable, possibilities which the country affords. We look for Cuba's gieatcst measure of prosperity in Hie futuie to her Immense mliieralresoiir ces, chief among them being Iron and coal, and to the advantages which pre sent themselves for the raising of fruits, vegetables, cotton, hemp, rubber and coffee, and for Hie breeding of cat tle for the home market. Even tho most brief consideration of tho profits which Cuba's marvelously arable laud offers will convey an idea of the possi bilities awaiting her people. K "In the fruit trade we already export to the I'nlted States quantities of ba nanas, pineapples and coeoanuts. The growth of these fruits we hope to spread to a much greater degree than prevails now. Cuba's climate and her -oll wait only for her people's active aid to add to the list oranges, tamarinds, mangoes and the extremely valuable agauacatj. It Is a green fruit of large size, whose dense yellow pulp possesses the flavor of almonds. All Ameiicans who visit Cuba are delighted with it. Already Cuba exports sonib few spec imens of the agiuiiicale, as she does oranges. "The possibility of quick delivery of ocean freight which is of peilshablc character opens to Cuba the whole American market. Only tlnee days are required by swift steamers for shipment fi 0111 Havana. This extremely invora ble circumstance olfers the same possi bility to Hie Cub, in grower of vegeta bles as it does to the cultivator of fruits. Importations by the United Slates from "Cuba Include already to mato' s. egg plants, cabbages, potatoes, give" pcppeis. oelira or gumbo, and squash. Cuban farmers aie experi m'jntlng with aspai.igus, radishes and sweet potatoes. Tho sweet potato of Cuba is or a finality even better than the variety grown in the b'outliem stales. I have mentioned here only a few of the vegetables that promise ex cellent profit to the Cuban people. They tu o trying with much care to develope the sti aw berry, so as to permit of the i.ii'-lug of large quantities, whose tlavor and size will find popularity in the mar kets of the United rilates. Them nie huge opportunities also, In tho importa tion by this maiket of watermelons and caiiteloupes, which have hitherto been grown for domestic consumption nlone, "Cuba Is one of the homes of cotton, Thus fur, however, the absence of sys tematic cultivation has left Cuban cot ton In a condition of llttlo value, We expect to Introduce the Kgyptlnn vari ety and to bring It up to a level of excellence which shall command buyeis for nil the Island can grow, Ucinp Is easily raised In Cuba. It grows there naturally and little care is needed. Tho best opportunities for Its production aro otl'ered In Cardenas and Puerto Princi pe, where no small amount Is already being raised, Uolh provinces have some factories in successful operation, but tho hemp Industry Is a mere Infant compared with the proportions lo which It can bo legitimately expected to at tain. "As for rubber, there aro some caout chouc tices growing in Cuba, chiefly on soil that has no other use, Hut lu the province of Havana Cubans aro already istabllshlng nurseries for young trees, and the people am buying them exten sively, "Somu years ago the Island produced all the coffee that was needed for tho suilply of the homo maiket, .The war ruined so many plantations that capi tal Is .now necessary to bring this par ticular Industry to a prolltable position. We could not hopu to compete, with Hrazll and other countries that grow cheaper coffees, but there la no doubt wo can raise a crop sulllciently large tit a cost of production sulllciently low, to satisfy the demands of the 'poptila tloh of Cuba. "Thero were In the Island before the wur no less than 5,000,000 head of cuttle.. Dining the progress of tho eonillct all thesQ cattle were destroyed. Since then Cuba has Imported, as beef, cattle by I the hundrcd.3 of thousands. The time lins come when Cuba inUst Import cat tle for breeding purposes. Within n few yearn tlu'in will be no need for her to buy her beef abroad. Tho province of Puerto Principe, Santiago de Cuba and sonic part's of .Santa Clarn, In the order In which they arc nanieil, are peculiarly adapted to entile raising. They cnntalu lnuch good grazing land, on which we can tear all the cattle we mqutre Tor our own uses. "The development of our mineral re sources, from Its very nature will prob ably he In the hands of Individuals. Hilt Hie development of the agricultural re sources of tho country demands, In many cases, the Initiative and fostering protection of tho government, Agricul tural stations for the linprnvment of nil varieties of these products aro to be es tablished; for special attention Is re quired and should be accorded. We must Improve all the advantages pcr tnlulng to our unequalled soil and our magnificent climate. The plan contem plated will require time for Its fulfill ment, but we shall probably have some elementary station In, active service within a year. The agriculture of Cuba I consider, perhaps, the most Important factor In the country's prosperity. Tho secretaryship of agriculture will In time become the most Important cabinet of llce in the Cuban government." In addition to the compact Informa tion conlulned In Oeneral Palnui's arti cle. It exhibits lu him a capacity for consti active statesmanship which pre sages well for Cuba's future. Predic tions as, to the fate of Cuba under Cu ban contiol vary widely among experts: so widely that the opinions of laymen possess llttlo value; but If the initial president of Cuba, can carry out his pol icy It will add one to the list of great executives and iclleve the American nation and people of a heavy responsi bility. Wo have no doubt Hint reflection will cause Mossis. Miner and Williams, the minority candidates for stale dele gates in the First litizcrno district, to repudiate the plan of their over-zealous henchmen to put them in the con vention regardless of the popular will. The Wayne and Susquehanna county senatorial conferees who are endeav oring to decide upon u candidate do not seem disposed at present to make concessions. It will soon be decided whether the evening base ball game Is more popu lar than the mntitme In Scranton. Unless the correspondents .show more activity we will soon forget that there is a war in South Africa. Citizens of Altoona favor the under giounil trolley sjstem with unusual emphasis.
