That's just when ou need It most. Defaming the Army. THE DEMOCRATIC campaign Is being opened from Wash ington in the distribution of literature charging extrava gance against General Wood's adminis tration of affairs In Cuba. The record lias been searched for every Item which can be tortured Into an appearance of wastefulness and these aio. being dressed up, and exhibited with all the Ingenuity of which our Democratic friends are capable. Differences in price of articles similar in kind, purchased at different times mid places, are con strued as proof that our army offlccis were either negligent or dishonest; and every pos&iblc bad interpretation of an apparent discrepancy or overcharge Is made with a view to discredit the administration. "Where theie is a fair chance to give to the Ameri can army officer who represented his country in Cuba, the benctlt of the doubt the compiler of this kind of literature proceeds to pillory him be fore the public as a crook. In Dem ocratic eyes the whole picture of Ameri can intervention in Cuba is not an in spiring spectacle of difficult wmk done with singular unselfibliness but a mabs of flyspecks. There is no way to avoid such tieat ment of efficient and conscientious ser vants. It is a part of the general pen alty of public service. No man who amounts to anything cm hope to es cape reckless cilllclsm, detraction and aspersion, especially aiouud election". Many of tho aimy officers against whom the Democratic press bureau is aiming insinuations of dishonesty have time and aaaln taken their lives In their hands and undergone frightful priva tion and suffering In the sen lec of their country; but that does not count an iota hi the game which politicians are waging for place and piomlnencc, They did an they were bid in Cuba; did the best they knew how; did so well that iho world of competent and unpreju diced onlookers Is ringing with praises of them mid their woilc; but because a congiesf-ional campaign Is coming on nnil the Demociatlc leaders at Wash ington are rather hard put to find ma tin lal to go before the people on, these modest niul uncomplaining army offi cers, who have no votes and no way ot defending themselves, politically, aio selected nu targets of misrepresenta tion and calumniation, in the hope that If they can be discredited It will bonie l.ow dlfeciodlt the Republican adminis tration under which they were cm plood, and contribute to Democratic ends. Politically this hope is fallacious. History shows that attacking the army, whether on the score of cruelty or dis honesty, is bairoii of loturus to the anirty which engages In It, and usually SicneHcial to the party In power, But 3 esavdjpgspf the political returns, it Is Ji mean prautltvj; and for our part wo Sto ashamed of It. It is a dirty bird J hut would befoul Its own nest, says I'io uiUigo; and tho United States army Ij nsmuch. a Democratic as It is a Re publican army, for it la the army ot all Iho people, and Its-honor ought to be field dear by men of all parties, regard less (it the passing exigencies of po litical controversy. - - I Although the proposed treaty with Colombia for Isthmian canal conces sions specldclally provides that tho ights apd 'privileges sought by this MHiiUry "shall not uffect tho sovereign t jof- thn republic of Colombia over the t(-XrJJry vvlthln whoso boundaries such rights and privileges uro to bo exer tmaf ' and further sets forth that "the UUlted States freely afknowledges and rpgnlaes-k Oils sovereignty and dls. ajcjw5yIp(entloii to Impair It In any tfy Whatever or to Increase Its terr tcjrfy at the expense of Colombia or uny cjj.the sister republics In Central or South America, but, on tho contrary, It d'e'Slrcs ta etiengthen tho power of the republics on this continent am to pro-rnpto,- develop and maintain their pros perity and ldependencVIt "appears that the ofllclali pf tho. Colombian, go veni jnent are so suspicious either of their .representative at Washington or ot tho United States, or both, that they will not permit-him to go ahead on any do tall without first submitting a complete report with every document by mnll, a proceeding which consumes six weeks each time. At this rate, It will tnko Until fall for our state department of ficials to lenrn whether Colombia Is willing to do tho tight thing. No won der it requires patience to succeed In diplomacy, m The proposition to allot every strik ing mine worker $1 a week while Idle means trouble if It Is promised and not forthcoming. Tho Commissioner of Pensions. p 11I3 NEW commissioner of I pensions has been In ofllco W nearly tnree uionius, uuc wc have not heard a word of complaint. Ho has not In any particu lar deviated from the policy of his pre decessor; ho Is enforcing the law with out the slightest partiality or discrimi nation, ns It Is his duty to do, and ns General Kvnns did, but tho hue and cry has not been rnlsed against him, We trust thnt It will not bo. Yet It Is early to prophesy. Tho only information ns to how tho new commissioner Is getting along comes from himself. He talked to a Washington Post reporter quite freely the other day. Ho said he vas giving his first attention to the elimination of political or personal pull in the promo tions made in his bureau. When a va cancy occurs in a certain grade he asks tha chief of tho sub-division to give him tho names of the three best employes In the grade Immediately be low. Then he Institutes u careful per sonal examination of the records and worth of these three bubordlnates and the one that emerges with the bright est credit maiks gets the promotion. Commissioner AVaio says he has had some trouble In convincing the solicit ous congressmen thut t,hat Is the fair est way to make promotions, but he adds that when the member becomes convinced that the commissioner Is Im partial and unvarying In his attitude, ho usually gives In with good grace. With regard to the enforcement of the pension laws, Mr. Ware says that when ho entered upon the discharge of his new duties he found a general ex pectation that he would In some man ner lot down the bars. The first thing he did was to instruct his lieutenants that the law was to bo enforced abso lutely without deviation and In the spirit of protection of the public as op posed to the private Interest. He says tho statement seemed to surprise them somewhat, but he has lived up to It, and the other day, when he addressed a meeting of veteran soldiers out In Kansas and told it what he had done and how he propobod to continue, the boys cheered him to the echo. As for the pension attorneys, and especially tho sharks looking for prey, Mr. Waie has the advantage of having been a lawyer himself and Is "onto their cuives." This makes interesting and encourag ing reading, and confirms our opinion that the tioubles ot General Evans were largely manufactured by Intriguers who could not use hhn. But as wo said be fore, it is early to make predictions concerning General Evans' successor, tie Is unquestionably an honest and a determined man. lie will do his duty fearlessly, and he will not be swerved by clamor. But that he can escape without mlsivpiesentation of motive and malicious persecution disguised be hind apparently solicitous regard for the welfare of the old soldier, his widow or his orphaned children, Is too much to expect. It would presage the mil lennium. It Is pleasing news that General Chaffee, after his ictum from Manila, is to be billeted as commander of the depaitmeut of the East, preparatory to succeeding General Miles as com manding general. Our army is full ot good men, any one of whom would com mand it with credit.; but Chaffee has showed qualities of exceptional fitness. He does not fus, squirm or fret. He does things. He is a boldlor from crown to toe. Good luck to him! The opinion of Senator Dubois that tin president will not bo able to line up his party against trust abuses Is a cabe of the wish being fnther to the thought. The Republican parly Is not fond of suicide. England's now premier Is a great ad mirer of tho United States, nnd his ad miration is not only politic but genu ine. Americans certainly have no rea son to regret the change. Of the proposed appointment of Sen ator Mel.aurln to the bench of the court of claims it may with propriety bo said that tho United States judiciary de serves a. better fate. Lord Salisbury evidently believes that an exit by resignation Is Infinitely pre ferable to ono by compulsion. Ho doubtless foresaw that the days of Tory rule are numbered. Sir Thomas I.ipton says he Is willing to let any other Englishman have tho honor of compoting for tho America's cup. Likewise tho expense and disap pointment. Personal leglstratlon and a uniform primary aro reforms that the people demand. Our advice to the Republican arganlaztlau Is to concede before It Is compelled. It seems to be the Idea of Canudlan minister of justice Fitzpnttlck that public ofllco Is a law linn snap, Jules Verne says vivid newspaper re porting Is eclipsing the novel, It Is fre ciuent quite us fictional. "Me heart Is full of song," says Hen nlssy, "but I've lost mo voice," There uro many such, m It Is a good thing that Lord Kitch ener Is not talkative, Ills halo may luit. What a pity tho critics of General Wood did not have his chance, Summer seems, at last to be drawing to a focus, BEERS EQUITY CASE HEARD CONTEST "OVER CULM IN JEF FEBSON TOWNSHIP. Clarence E, Woodruff, Edward Foster nnd Emory, Woodruff Are Remov ing What Peter Beers Thought Was His Property, nnd for Which They Produce a Deed Number of Suits for Daniages Brought Which Are the Outgrowth of Last Spring's Floods Wills Probated. There wns a hcarlnjr before Judge John P. Kelly In the Superior court room yesterdny in tho equity case of Peter C. Beers, a Jefferson township farmer, agulnst Clarence K. Woodruff, Edward Poster und Emorv Woodruff. Attorneys C. Comegys and John V. b'cragg nppenred for the plaintiff, and Attorney Everett Wurrcn for tho de fendants. In 1S47 tho Pennsylvania Coal com pany laid out Its gravity road across the farm now owned by Beers. Two big lllls hnd to be made In making a roadbed across the laud and culm wns used for the purpose. Tho screening of coal was crudely done at that time and this culm Is rich in coal. After the Pennsylvania Coal company abandoned Its gravity road, Beers alleges that ho was given the right of way of the com pany across his farm and the culm It contained, In compensation for certain damages which he ullcges ho sustained at the hands of the company. The agreement was verbal. Not long ago the defendants pur chased the land and culm In question, receiving a deed for It, and proceeded to wash and remove the culm. The In junction was asked for to restrain them from trespassing on the land of Beers In removing the culm and from pollut ing a stream which flows across the plaintiff's land. For the plaintiff, yesterday, Peter Beeis, Charles and Alfred Beers, his sons, Lee Smith, George Moore, Jere miah Sherer, Nlrum Compton and John B. Moore were examined. For the de fense the three defendants and Andrew Snook were sworn. Tho defendants agreed that they would cease to trespass on tho land of Beers and denied that they are pollut ing the stream, alleging that the lay of the ground Is such that the water pumped from the creek to wash the coal flows away from it. All of tho testimony was put in yes terday, and Major Warren urged Judge Kelly not to continue the in junction restraining the defendants irom carrying on their operations, as It had not been shown, even under the plaintiff's own showing, that he would suffer Irreparable Injury. Judge Kelly took the matter under advisement. Result of the Flood. Three actions In trespass were begun yesterday to recover damages for In juries caused by the floods of last spring. The Delaware and Hudson company is defendant In two of the actions and the plaintiffs are Valentine 'Bliss and J. G. Hufnagle, who ore rep resented by Attorneys O'Brien & Mar tin and I. H. Burns. Bliss owns a silk mill at Priceburg, which was flooded and badly damaged, and Hufnagle owns a plot of ground on which are many houses. The plot was submerged by the flood. The plaintiffs alleged that their properties were dam-' aged because of certain obstructions placed in the channel of the Lacka wanna river by the Delaware and Hud son company, which diverted the water from the natural bed of the river onto the properties of the plaintiffs. Attorney A. A. Chase began suit for Charles P. Greenburg against the Scranton Steel company. Greenburg owns a property at Elm street and the Lackawanna river, which was damaged last spring, when all that part of South Scranton was under water. It is al leged that the encroachments of the Scranton Steel company on the bed of the river below Elm street was the cause of the flood. Reminder of the Explosion. Mario A. Frear, Johanna M. Lobeck, Martha Lobeck and Adolph C. Lobeck yesterday began an action to recover damages from the executors of tho es tate of the late Judge John Handley, Colonel L. A. Watres, Hon. H. W. Pal mer und John T. nichnrds. The plaintiffs were the owners of a building on Lackawanna avenue which adjoined on the west the old Mer chants' and Mechanics' bank building, owned by the Handley estate. On Aug ust 4, 1000, the bank building was de stroyed by an explosion of gas, which also caused the destruction of the Lo beck building. Attorneys James E. Frear, of Tunkhannock, and Ballentine & Howell, of this city, represent the plaintiffs. Temple Iron Company Sued. The borough of Muyflold Is plaintiff In an action In trespass to recover damages, brought yesterday against the Temple Iron company. The papers in the case were filed by Attorney John It. Jones, and duuuiges In tho sum of $Lr,00 uro asked. It Is alleged that large quantities of culm from tho Edgorton colliery of the defendant company is dumped Into Ed gerton creek, which flows through the center of Mayflcld. This culm, It Is charged, has filled the bed of the cicek and at times of high water the creek overflows Its banks and teais up the streets of the borough. Many residents of the boiough, whose properties have been damaged by tho overflowing of the creek from time to time, also threaten to bring suits against tho company. In Beglster's Office, The will of Harvey S. Cooper, de ceased, lute of the township of New ton, was admitted to probate yesterday and letteis testninentury granted to Ann Augustu Cooper und Surah M, Shpllev. The will of Johanna Davis, deceased, late of the city of Bcriinton, was ad mitted to probata and letters testa mentary Issued to John B". Pavls. The will of Bridget Flynn, deceased, late of the city of Scranton, was also admitted to probate. Yesterday's Marriage Licenses.
