well known fact that President Hoose

campaign In that state. lie has also
affirmed repeatedly the general propos

being true, It Is manifestly unfair to

WAYSIDE NOTES.
T
Cuba Libre.
TO THE SURPRISE of most
foreign observers and to the
disappointing of many homo
critics, the fulled States to
day turns over to the people of Cuba
the government of Cuba, to do with it,
within certain broad and equitable llm
ts, ns they shall please. It Is the first
instance ot such action In history. It
is another record-breaking American
Drocedent.
What will the Cubans do with their
newly acquired power? The Janswcr to
this Question must be awaited In tho
fulness of time. You can hear from
those professing knowledge of the
Cuban character any kind of predic
tion that you wish. Opinion, even what
might fall ly be called expert opinion,
varies ns to this as it does as to nnv
other problem whose solution cannot be
foreseen. The impottant point, from tho
American point of view, Is that the
United States, after dolus in Cuba a
work ol restoration and regeneration
without parallel In thoroughness and
unselfishness, retires from Its humani
tarian tnslc with clean hands, a clear
conscience and the consolation of know
ing that If the Cubans make a failure
of their experiment in self-government
it will not be through lack of being
started aright.
To this last sentence there is, how
ever, one qualification. Tho American
and Cuban people alike expect and de
mand that tho trade relations between
the two countries one the liberator and
the other the dependent and beneficiary
shall bo adjusted oh a basis of mutual
profit and liberality. To this reason
able proposition there is no dissent in
Cuba; the obstructing influences are
wholly within a nnirow circle In tho
American congress. Cuba begins tho
experiment of statehood without u live-nnd-let-llve
market for her chief pro
duction. Her most substantial inhabi
tants tho men unon whoso economic
prosperity the whole futuie of tho
Cuban republic depends are confronted
by a situation which, unless speedily
rdlcved, will mean their financial and
productive ruin. It Is up to tho Ameri
can congress to say whether they shall
be rerrued or t-ulnncrgoil, If the inter
est of the United States In their plight
were humanitarian moiely it might
with some color of reason be argued
that wo have done enough for Cuba,
and that, having now secured In gift
fioui us the Independence so long
fought, the Cubans should sink or swim
lcsponsivo to their own efforts.
Such an argument docs not apply to
the present situation for the reason that
reciprocal relations with Cuba are as
necessary for the best welfare of this
cuuntry as for that of Cuba. Tho bar
gain, like nil good bargains, Is two
nlded. Wo cannot help Cuba without
helping ourselves; and wo cannot hurt
Cuba without hurting ourselves. A
higher power than any legislature has
decreed between the great republic and
tho gem Island of the West Indies n
commercial bond of union which either
will Ignore at its will.

To the 01 which Elkln now has ho

seem good to secure not less than 7S,

We believe at this writing that John

Trade with Canada.
CANADA,

to increi
iL
It is announced by the
of statistics, continues
ease her purchases from
the United States, despite the
tariff advantages accorded Great Brit
ain in tho fiscal svstein of that coun
try. During the nine months of the
present fiscal year for which details
are available, British North America
showed a larger Increase In Its pur
chases from the United States than
any other political division of America,
us compared with those of the corre
sponding periods of 1800 and 1001. Our
total exports to British North America
increased from $00,7C3,.'0; In tho nine
months of 1000. and S77,S01,13S In tho
same period of 1001 to $S0,090,00I In tho
eoriespondlng months of the current
year. 'To Mexico the increase during
tho same period compared with that of
last venr was but two million dollars
and to the West Indies ono million
dollars, while the Central American
states showed a decrease of about $3C0,
000 and South America about $1,000,000
In their purchases from the United
States during tho nine months of tho
present fiscal year as compared with
tho same period of the preceding year.
Tho continued growth in our com
merce with Canada Is the moro remark
able when it is remembered ,thnt ever
since April, ISO", tho United Kingdom
has enjoyed tariff advantages in tho
Canadian market, tho discrimination in
her favor having ranged from l-'.i per
cent, in that year to 33 1-3 per cent,
from and after July 1, 1000. Yet tho
exports from the United States to Brit
ish North America have Increased year
by year, und our total exports to that
market In the nine mouths under re
view nro SU,235,409, or 10 per cent., in
excess of those for the sumo period of
1000, and 13,104,80(5, or ! per cent., in ex
cess of thoso of tho corresponding
months of lust year, A comparison of
our exports to Canada In tho first nlno
months of tho present fiscal year with
thoso of the corresponding months 1m-'
mediately preceding tho reduction In
tho Canadian tnilff In favor of'arcat
Britain shows that our exports to Can

per cent., being for tho earlier period

ending with March, 1002, $80,099,001.

Advice to the Operators.
I'rom the Sew York Times.
It would not appear to be good policy on thi
part of iho onthruelto operators to imnlfcst too
much lagerness to avail themseltcs ot the will.
Ingres! of pait of the minora now idle to rerome
work, dUregarding tho strike order of the l(aIc
ton convention. 'Iho existence of a tliong minor
ity of illsatLhcd inlnris, who (all to recognize
tho existence cf any issues of sulllclent import,
amc to warrant the mtlon which lias dosed the
collieries, is as well known tn the union leaders
as to the operators, ami within a few ilaji will
probably cjiimj (he strike to show evidence ol
crumbling. A suspension of a week or two will
do no harm and raue cry little hardship among
the mincis. During that time what little en
thusiasm now cItU in faor of a strike will
haic ciaporated, and if, as now seems probable,
the bituminous miners decline to engage in a
s.Miipatlictlo strike, the hopelessness of the strug.
gle which lias to slender a pretext will become
apparent.
Meanwhile, to start up a mine here and an
other there, under strong police protection, would
furnish an excuse for violence and probably lead
to Io--, of life and the destruction of property.
t might be just what Is needed to solidify the
union membership and make the strike a "fight
to a finish." There is about sixty days' supply
of authravito la sight, and on its present bails
the strike Is not likely to last thirty dj.s, and
perhaps not ten. It lacks the characteristics of a
great molt against oppression or for the ctab
lUhmcnt of a principle. The real Issue la the
fear of the union leader that unlcai they do
something they will lose prestige and influence
I have a good shed grudge against a certain
engineer on the Delaware and Hudson railroad.
1 don't know who lie 1, but he run between
Catbondalo and Wllkcs-llarrc. In the first place,
lilt locomotlvo has n whistle which for nerve
racking dlvonance is only equalled by a circus
caiuopc. liio engineer Is not to blame (or that,
however, but it Is the way ho blows It that I
want to wajlay him for some dark night The
law requires engineers when approaching cross
ings to give" two short blasts, followed by two
quick pulls. l)oci this engineer observe the taw?
No, ho gives Instead four long crescendo and
diminuendo blood-curdling vnl!, and sometimes
two moro for good measure. When we remember
that there arc six or eleven crossings between
Olyphant and Lackawanna accntic, it Is evident
that lie must keep his hand on tho whistle lever
moat of the time instead of on the throttle, where
It normally belongs, and bow he does rend the
ccliocil Unless he mends his ways pcoplo along
the line who havo nerves may have to lease town.
Sir. Carnegie seems to have solved the problem
of bow to be happy though rich. He was as
Jolly as a school boy when he started for Kurope
the other day. He told tho reporters, among
other things, that lie thought seriously of buy
ing a few newspapers on his return, and doubt
less thej the reporters had Ualonj of $100-a-week
salaries, a summer vacation without less
of pay, nnd an occasional good sired government
bond when they made a flrst-class "scoop." If
Mr. Carnegie had taken un newspaper work In
stead of steel, he would doubtless have made a
success of It, though hardly to the extent of
$200,000,000. He has tho newspaper instinct.
It is a wonder, when you come to think of It,
bow our grandfathers and great-grandfathers cer
lived to a good dd age and accomplished so
much without a single health food no faiinose,
granola, protose, maltose, kornkrisp, flakoly, etc.
Nothing but Just plain wheat, rye, corn, beef,
pork nnd vegetables. And then to think that
they actually drank codec (with two cc's) per
haps three times a day, and never knew what
nlled them. We ol this generation should cer
tainly be profoundly grateful. We ought to live
to be .1 hundred, sure, and if we study the food
advertisements carefully and follow directions,
perhaps wc ought not to die at all.
People who have noer been In Scranton, ard
imagine it to be distinguished chiefly by coal
dumps and shanties, should come and take a
ride through tho residence section) during this
beautiful May season. They would change their
minds considerably.
It is encouraging to note that the question of
street signs has been mentioned again In (ity
councils. Wc must not neglect to talk about
this matter. Of course, we don't expect the
signs, but then it is an entertaining subject.
It is pretty hard to tell from the posters about
town which will be the bigger days in Scranton,
today or the aird. Parents who are in doubt
can take their boys to both shows. ,
It may be necessary by and by to bring coals

them at the station they were to go directly to
