IF IT IS TRUE that a modern Cumean sybil prophesied that King Edward would never be crowned, her vaticination has, happily, been falsified by the event. The king has been crowned. The cere mony was shorn of muchof its antl quaran interest and immemorial page antry owing to its postponement. But this is of little consequence In com parison to the realization that the ruler of tho British empire has survived a disease and a surgical operation for its elimination which so nearly threatened his life that those who came from afar to witness his ceremonial accession to tho throne at Westminister Abbey were in a fair way to stand by his bier In the same venerable fane. The ancient, elaborate and complicat ed constitution of Great Brltlan on which the experience and the genius of ages have been employed Is as Inde pendent of the person or behest of the sovereign of that kingdom as that of any modern republic Is of Its elective head. This fact does not, however, de tract from the loyalty and veneration which the English people bear to their sovereigns. He Is the embodiment of their social and political organism. In no other form than that of a constitu tional monarchy could the Integration of the British empire be preserved. In no other way could the Immeasurably diversified races of an empire of nearly six hundred million people scattered from pole to polo and around the cir cumference of tho globe bo permeated with a spirit of Imperialistic homogen ity and federal unity. Under no other symbol of historical or conceivable authority could tho rulers and the ruled bfl brought to recognize a common fellowship and interest In the mighty empire In which are merged their poli tical existence. King Edward is much less of a sovereign than the centripetal force which keeps the centrifugal ten dencies of the entitles of his realm in their orbit. The British empire has been often compared to that of Rome nt Its best. In extent and caheslveness it bears some resemblance. But in every other es sential they differ. The great theoreti cal and practical end of all govern ment Is the happiness of the people. That Great Britain has measurably at tained. There are parts of the empire which are not at rest or In ncqulesenco with its regal or parliamentary domin ion. But while Rome drowned in blood the slightest Impulse toward indepen dence or political dissatisfaction in her conquered territories, England main tains her sovereignty by the largest expression of moral, religious and in tellectual freedom. This assertion may be combatted, but it cannot be denied with justice to a country In which the first-germs of political liberty, as they are; understood and appreciated by mankind today, were sprouted. Kilng Eiiward. Is not a great states man or 'a great monarch, happily for himself and his subjects. lie has had boxyo'Vcr an unusually long apprentice ship to 'the1 business of kingcraft and he knows his trade thoroughly. The fortuno tellers probably meant to say that Klne Edward would not be crowned on schedule time. ' The Soldiers' Political League. ANEW organization, with cer tainly large" purposes, has Just had birth at AVashlng ; ton, thanks to tho activity of Cqhmel Samuel . Stratton, of that city known to many Scrantonlans by reason of having at ono time been jrl vuto; secretary for Congressman Cou ncil. ..The 'Soldiers' Political Leugue" Is trje name of Colonel Stratton's child; nnd: It) the course of a long Interview In tha .Washington Star the genial col onef marks out with fatherly solicitude and '.pride Its path In life, Jfls not to Interfere with party ques tions but Its aim Is to smooth tho de clining years of surviving veteran sol dier and promote in general the best interests of tho nation's defenders, their relicts and dependents. One of Its purposes 13 to correct the alleged Injustice whereby regular nrmy and nuyy, officers exclusively, are retired on reduced pay whllo volunteer officers, when the government Is through with their services, are totd to go back to civil life and earn their living as best they may. In Illustration Colonel Stratton cites tho fact that a man, evidently General L3, after having been. educated by tlio government at Vcsl Point, sworn allegiance to Its flag, nml for four years fought against that flag, "Is now eligible and lias un der tho law been retired on tho pay and rank of a brigadier general of tho regular army, while the volunteer om cer, who jrnllantly defended that flag In tljo civil war for four years, and slneo that time served his government In tho capacity of clerk, has his grizzled locks contemptuously referred to as premature Indications of mental de cay and physical decrepitude, and Is therefore unceremoniously thrust upon the world to make his way as best ho can without further recognition or an nuity on tho part of the government ho helped to save." Tho "Soldiers' Politi cal League," the colonel says, has a bill to correct such inequalities. This Is It: That on and nftcr tho passago of this net any person who has boon, Is now or shall hereafter bo employed In the lund or naval service of tho United States, In eluding members of 11 stato or territorial militia or National Guard, cither na an odlcor or enlisted man, nnd who, whllo In the line of duty, has sustained tho loss of a leg, an arm. ono eye, both eyes, or has othcrwlso been Injured or Incapacitated from tho performance of manual labor In a pensionable degree, shall (ns tho liaso may be) bo placed upon tho retired list of tho army or navy. That all ofllccrs of the military or na val servlco to bo retired under tho provi sions of Section 1, providing for registra tion on tho retired list, shall receive the rank, pay nnd allowances next abovo tho ono held at tho tlmo such Injuries or dis abilities wore received. Thnt all non-commissioned ofllccrs nnd enlisted men to bo retired under the pro visions of Section 1 shall be placed upon tho retired list of the nrmy or nnvy with the rank, pay nnd allowances of a sec ond lieutenant of tho nrmy or Junior sec ond lieutenant in tho navy, as tho caso may be. That any officer or enlisted men elect ing to accept the provisions conferred by this net, nnd whoso name is now on tho pension rolls of tho government, shall for feit all claim to Invnlid pension to which ho Is or may bo entitled; nnd no officer or enlisted man who is now on tho re tired list of the nrmy or navy shall draw a pension from tho government. No officer or enlisted mnn whose namo Is on the retired list cf the army or navy shall receive pay or allowances for apy servlco during the time In which ho may bo employed In an npnolntlvo capacity under tho authority of tho federal gov ernment, state or municipality In which he may be so employed. All laws or parts of laws affecting tho retired list of tho nrmy and navy which are In conflict with this act aro hereby repealed. Another purpose of tho league Is to "break down tho gates that allow a representative, in congress or United States senator to monopolize appoint ments of cadetshlps to West Point or Annapolis. When vacancies occur hereafter at either tho Military or Na val academy In any congressional dis trict where such vacancy occurs the fact should he published in the daily press in the district and the place thrown open to competition under rules and regulations provided by the United States civil service com mission. This gives every boy an equal chance and from the workshop or farm we may secure the material for de veloping a second Lincoln, Grant, Gar field, Sherman or Sheridan." Perhaps the most daring proposition of all is tho suggestion that the entire pension debt be funded into two or three per cent, gold-bearing bonds each pensioner to have his pension for the next ten years summed up and tho total amount of such pension merged in an interest-bearing bond. For In stance, if .1 vterap gets $10 a month pension, th uuhl equal $120 a year and for U. -$1,200. The idea is to give him ii .trnmont bond bearing 2 or 3 per cent, interest for the whole amount in u lump sum, thereby abol ishing the pension department and its agencies. This suggestion, Colonel Stratton takes care to explain, has not received the league's Imprimatur. It Is In the nebulous state as yet. But with regard to the other Items In tho programme, the league's eyes are "sot." Colonel Stratton says the league is growing rapidly and will soon be ma ture. There Is no reason that wo see why it should not bo welcomed into the nrena of public suggestion and dis cussion. The more the merrier. Wis dom Is not the monopoly of any man, group or class. It conies, the proverb truly assures us, through a multiplic ity of counsel. Citizen George Francis Train, now In his seventy-fourth year, has written a book about himself, which will be pub lished by a firm of sufficient prominence to guarantee that It Is a work of merit. Those who have seen the manuscript of the most recent effort of this eccen tric Individual, whose Idiosyncrasies have furnished many columns for tho sensational readers, state that time has not Impaired tho vigor of his compo sition or the accuracy of his recollec tions. It Is barely possible that the strange character who has been known for so many years as a crank of un usual resources may yet fool mankind by leaving a work of consistency and genuine literary merit which could not fall to be Interesting If given in the author's peculiar Btyle. Miss Becky Taylor, tho ex-War de partment clerk, who was dismissed for writing bitter criticisms of the presi dent for the papers, ought to'hdve no difficulty in securing employment upon the staff of almost any journal as a regular. In her efforts to bo reinstated over the head of the secretary of war, Miss Taylor has certainly displayed a spirit of persistence that Is seldom equalled by the most Irrepressible In terviewer. The health of King Edward seemed to be unaffected by tho coronation cere monies, but some of tho New York yellow papers were afflicted with ter rible spasms immediately following the receipt of the news. A good many men remain honest simply because they havo never been able to find a market for "their price." In many respects Lord Kitchener Is more fortunate than tho generals who had charge of the campaign In the Philippines. England seems disposed to pay more attention to results ac complished than to Inquiries as to Whether they were brought about by strictly humane means. Notwithstanding King Edward's health seems to be In tho best con dition permissible, tho royal household will do well not to let him see tho poetry that has been written In honor of the recent event. The Baltimore Hibernians who advise the residents of Ireland to not come to America, but stay at homo and fight for liberty; aro unconsciously humor- 0U8. And the English poet-laurentc, Alfred Austin, further tempted tho hoodoo by writing a song of thirteen verses upon tho coronation. As a rule tho public man does not know who nre most to be feared, his wise enemies or fool friends. Administration of Gouernmenf of Ctiba Prepared In tho Bureau of Insular Af fairs of tho War Department. HE MILITARY government of Cuba Twas established by tho United Stutcs on July 18, 1S33, and termin ated on May. 10, 1902. At the closo of hostilities In Cuba, the military authorities found tho Island a country In a stato of devastation and ruin, both ns to Ru political orsttnlzatlon as-well ns its Industrial condition. With out precedent to guide nnd many of them without previous experience in state af fairs, tho officers of the United States army at once undertook to set up a form of government which would provide suf ficient revenues for the immediate needs, nnd which might bo developed into a stablo and lasting system. How well they succeeded may bo best shown by a summnry of tho fiscal affairs covering our stay In tho Islands. From July 18 to December 31, 1S9S, reve nues were collected amounting to flvo hundred nnd twenty thousand dollars, mnlnly from duties on Imports and mu nicipal taxation, nnd theso revenues wero used for defraying the extraordinary ex penses occasioned by tho condition of af fairs. On January 1 1S!9, there was estab lished in Cuba sixteen custom houses, that at the chief port, Havana, and othors at tho principal sub-ports of the Island. These offices wero fully equipped from tho outset, and a uniform tariff was ob served in the assessment of taxes nnd du ties. These rates wero generally about tho same ns thoso which obtained In the United States. Tho principal changes In tho tariff havo been tho gradual reduction of duties on exports from tlmo to tlmo, until April 1st, 1901, when these duties were entirely abollshpd. Pnstnfflces were oncned throughout the Island, and natlvo postmasters were up-' pointed. More than 000 postofnees were established, nt the greater number of which tho ofllccrs wero bonded, and in connection therewith a money-order sys tem was inaugurated both for domestic and international business. A free deliv ery system was also established In all of tho largest cities, as well as railway post lines, and In many instances, star routes in tho interior nnd country districts, giv ing to thoso oven in the remotest places the benefits of a regular mall service. There was established a department of finance, presided over by a general treas urer and six provincial treasurers, one for each province. Subsequently, these provinces wero re-dlstrlcted and formed into eleven so-called fiscal zones. Those officers conducted tho assessment and col lection of conveyance, inheritance, com mercial and Industrial taxes, and ad ministered Internal affairs, municipal schools, hospitals, public works, foster ing industries, nnd stocking farms and plantation1.!. Thousands of brood horses and cattle wero purchnsed and resold to tho natives on easy terms, enabling them to resume work which would not other wise havo been possible. Tho number of school houses provided, nearly equal thos.o in this country for a corresponding area. There was constructed a telegraph line connection, with the principal cities throughout the Island, which, together with tho construction and repair of bridges, havo been of invaluable benefit to tho Inhabitants. Among the most notanio achievements in this connection may be mentioned the concrete turnpike running from Santiago to San Luis, a distance of about twenty-four miles. This road was planned by nnd constructed under tho di rection of General AVood, under tho im mediate supervision of Lieutenant Mat thew E. Hnnna and Captain S. D. Roclc cnbach. This road, crossing tho moun tains Is considered by experts as prob ably the finest mountain road In the world. It gives ncccss to a wonderfully fertllo section of country, which before had, as Its only means of communica tion with tho outside world, Indistinct mountain trails, which were Impassable during tho rainy season, or nearly half the year. As a sanitary measure tho streets of many of the cltl03 wero paved, and extensive systems of sewerage con structed. The harbors of tho Island wore oreatly improved; and an admirable system of buoys and beacons was established, gov ernment warehouses and docks wero re paired and constructed, and regulations, conforming to thoso in vogue in this country, governing tho harborB of tho island wero established, Tho total revenues from nil sources col lected during tho occupation was fifty seven million two hundred thousand dol lars, and tho expenditures therefrom fifty-five million three hundred and seventy thousand dollars, the remainder having been turnod over to tho republic of Cuba at tho time of tho withdrawal of United States nuthorlty, May 19th, 1902. All ex penditures woro mndo with a view to con tributing to tho greatest good of tho peo. plo there, and .throughout the entire per rlod of Ameilcan occupation tho affairs wero conducted hololy in the interests of and for tho benefit of Cuba.

A feature of the expense account in Cuba was occasioned by the condition of the various municipalities, all of which showed large deficits In their annual budgets. In the fiscal year 1S9S moro than one million dollars was contributed to defrny theso deficits, and thereafter tho schools, police nnd municipal hospitals nnd charities wero maintained nlmpst en tirely nt tho cxpenso of tho Insular gov ernment. This condition hns been very Inrgcly overcome and tho majority of tho municipalities nro now setf-BUstalnlng. Tlw Insular revenues, howover. wero used to support tho municipal schools and charities to a very largo dcurco ns well as In payment for tho oxtonstvo work up to the closo of tho American adminis tration.

Many of the most com pletely appolntod hospitals in tho lslnnd have been fitted out In this way. It fol lows' that when consideration is given to tho short time which tho troops actually occupied theso buildings that the amount charged against appropriations for bar racks and quarters Is much greater than would havo been necessary had not tho selection of quarters been mado a sec ondary consideration. That tho administration of the depart ment of sanitation was judicious and thorough In Its results, is apparent In tho largo decrease of tho death rate in the island since modern sanitary measures havo prevailed. Tho doath rate prior to this tlmo had been ns high as 80 and 90 in tho thousand, but decreased to less than 23 in ono thousand; and during tho season Just passed, when yollow fever was formerly at Its height, Havana was entirely free from this epidemic. The marl no quarantine conducted by the United States Marino hosnltnl service ,has been effective in preventing the spread of contagious diseases; and this service has greatly aided the other offi cers In their efforts to establish healthful conditions. The Gulf states of tho Union have also profited by theso measures. In withdrawing from Cuba wo left a treasury balance of $635,000.00, and bal ances In the hands of collectors and dis bursing officers aggregating ?1, 200,000.00, constituting an arnplo working capital for tho inauguration of the now republic. All of tho branches of sovernment wero organized nnd had been gradually put Into tho hands of tho native officers who had been associated In tho respective departments with American administra tors, whereby opportunity was given for a full understanding of our methods of government. Tho former assistant auditor under the American administration became tho aud itor for tho new republic; the assistant treasurer became the treasurer; the na tive administrators of justice, flnanco, public Instruction and public works, con tinue to hold ofllco under tho Cuban gov ernment. A clear tltlo to tho public buildings, roads, wharves and school houses passed to the Cuban republic. There stands out promlnantly above all other consideration tho fnct that the United States put forth every effort for tho betterment of Cuba and her people What It cost us in lives nnd money is an other story. Whnt is to bo tho future of Cuba Is also not a subject of consid eration. As an executor of a self-appointed trust, Uncle Sam has been a success. Swarthmore College SWARTHMORS. PA.
