workers of Hern nt nn and
vicinity are entitled to
high rrpdlt for tho i-oiwrvntlKin and
f;ood common seno they haw dis
played thi'oiifihout Hit? illhL'Usslou and
ballotln.T upn'.i tin' iiit'stion ol" contlnu
liipr till- stnko. 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

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.
