tanks Having State Deposits Will
Come Up.
Referring to the passage of one of
the most important bills before tbe
Legislature of Pennsylvania for many
years, the Wellsboro Republican
Advocate, of March 30, published the
tbe following in a letter from Harris
burg: "During the aftenoon, while the
atmosphere was still hazy with the
smoke of the morning battle, the
Stewart interest bill was reached on
second reading. About twenty
amendments were offered by oppon
ents of the bill as reportedlfrom com
mittee. Under the fourth section
tbe three State depositories in Phila
delphia, Pittsburg and , JIarrisburg
were to be exempt 'from the pay
ment of interest, but the rural mem
bers were full of tight, under the lead
of Focht, of Union, went after this
bill in great shape. Finally the test
cauin on au amendment offered by
Farr, of Lackawanna, providing for
interest ut one and onu-half p.ir cent,
on daily balances and it prevailed.
The vitlue of this amendment is
that $ 1,5(10,000 will uow be compelled
to contribute one and one-half per
cent, interest to the State Treasury
which otherwise it would not have
done. It makes a discrimination of
the one half per cent, in favor of the
active depositories as others which
pay two per cent
Over-Careful Proof-Reading.
A sporting wiiter once included in
his notes au item saying that "The
young Kulmon are beginning to run."
It appi-ared n print, "The young
salmon are beginning to swiu."
When the writer asked for an ex
planation, the proof reader cheerily
remarked, "That's all right. You
had that mixed up with your turf
stuff, but I straighteued it out for
you.'' "Why didn't you let it go as
I wrote it?" "I couldn't. Who ev
er heard of a fish running V'JIar
Iter's Hound Table.
I he President and Cuba.
A morning contemporary says that
"the faithful jingo organs are an
nojticing thit in the twenty days
since President McKinley assumed
the duties of bis office as many
American citizens have been releas
ed from Cuban prisons as had been
released under President Cleveland
in the twenty weeks of the closing
period of his term. As there has
not been an iota of change in the
American policy in Cuba the precise
significance of this news is not ap
parent.
It may be that there is no change
in policy, but that there has been a
change in Cuba and in Spain is ev
erywhere apparent. It is possible
for an American to go to Cuba these
days and not be thrust into a prison
cell because bis home is in the Unit
ed States, It may not be ueccessary
fur this administration to declare
the independence of Cuba or even to
recojize belligerency, although an
effort to prevent the borribio atro
cities of Ibe Spanish troops would
b a work of humanity, but tha fact
remains that under President Cleve
land the Stars and Stripes were in
sulted in Cuba ; that American cit
izens were thrust into dungeons for
no crimes, and that men were mur
dered or starved and little or no no
tice was taken of these acta of un
friendliness towards this nation
No w our prisoners are being freed
rapidly and we bear few complaints.
Consul-General Lee was practically
left to do his work alone by Presi
dent Cleveland and to tight his own
battles in behalf of the honor of his
country single handed. To-day this
same Consul-General receives the
support of the President and of the
State Department.
But is it true that there has been
uo change of policy? We think there
has been. Even Spain knows very
well now that President McKinley
will not permit violations of treaties
or of international law. What is
more, the President has appointed a
special commissioner to proceed to
Cuba and report upon tbe exact
condition. He will be present at
the judicial inquiry to be made con
cerning the death of Dr. Ruiz, and
we may be absolutely certain that if
the report made b.v bim is to the ef
fect that Dr. Huiz was murdered a
demnnd for reparition will bemad?,
what is more, it will be granted.
We don't waut war with Spam or
with any other nation, and there is
not the slightest chance that we
shall have war. A bankrupt and
blood-thirsty nation like Spain is at
heart a coward and requires only a
firm hand to back awav from con
troversy and to run from it. Here
after the United States will not be
humiliated by Spanish bluster.
1'hila. Inquirer,
It is now said that the session of
the Legislature will probably last un
til the 20th of Juno. But when the
warm days come and the members
have no benches iu the Park to roost
on they will probably agree that it is
best to rush things and go home.
