FREELAND, PA., DECEMBER 11, 1899.
Abuse of the Pardoning Power.
From the New York World.
On Sunday the World catalogued 349
pardons granted to criminals and 129
commutations of sentence by Mr. Mc-
Kinley during the two years and live
months of his administration.
The list does not conclude the case of
Commissionary General Eagan. who,
after a fair trial by court martial, was
sentenced to a graceful dismissal from
the army, and whose sentence the presi
dent changed into the reward of six
years' furlough upon full pay.
But it does include the pardon of six
teen bank wreckers and a com mutation
of sentence in the cases of eight other
men who as bank officers betrayed their
trusts.
It includes pardon in the cases of six
ty-one and the commutation of twenty
nine sentences imposed upon postmas
ters for embezzlement and kindred
crimes.
It includes the pardon of thirty-three
counterfeiters and the lightening of
sentences upon fourteen others.
Without going further into the cata
logue it Is fair to ask why the president
has come to the rescue of these infamous
scoundrels by the use of his pardoning
power. Why has he granted respite to
bank wreckers and the betrayers of
trusts, thus concerning other bank ofli
cers to like offense? Why has he im
paired the integrity of the postal service
by pardoning embezzling postmasters for
crimes that are unpardonable? What
possible claim to clemency can any
counterfeiter have?
The pardoning power is conferred
upon the executive for one purpose, and
one only. It is not intended for the re
lief of criminals, with or without a
"pull." It is intended, as proceedings
in equity are, to correct mistakes ami
cure injustices of the law. It was never
meant in any constitution that the ex
ecutive should pardon criminals. It
was meant only that as a last resort his
power of pardon should rescue men un
justly convicted of crime.
In this view of the law and the facts.
President McKinley's wholesale jail de
livery is a gross abuse of the pardoning
power.
I'reinature Congratulations.
From the Philadelphia Record.
The sudden appearance at Vigan of
an Insurgent force as though it had
risen from the vasty deep and the des
perate night attack made on our weak
and foot-sore garrison in a town and re
gion supposed to be inhabited entirely
by "amigos" suggests the uncomfortable
reflection that our recent self-congratu
lations upon the crushing of the Filipino
insurrection may have been premature.
Four-fifths of Aguinalde's army, esti
mated at 30,000 armed men, remain un
accounted for, and the "friendlies" who
have welcomed our troops in the towns
entered by them are probably insurgents
in disguise, ready to dig up their rifles
aud take the field again as soon as our
garrisons shall have moved on.
There is nothing improbable in the
report that Aguinaido has made his
escape to Cavite province to resume his
insurrectionary career in the place
where it began a year aud a half ago.
Doubtless we shall have to hold every
city and hamlet in Luzon in a grip of
stoel before we can claim that the in
surrection has been quelled.
Growth of the War Debt.
For the last third of a century the
people of the United States have been
paying oil the great war debt created in
the early sixties—they have paid fab
ulous sums, more than five times the
amount of the original debt, but they
are not done yet. Even now after pay
ing almost countless thousands of dol
lars it yet requires more of the products
of labor to pay the remaining part of
the debt than it would to have paid it
all, at the time it was contracted—and
all this robbery has been brought about
by special and purchased legislation,
purchased or Inspired by the invisible
empire of finance—the destroyers of
freedom in all countries In the world.
CURRENT COMMENT.
Note* and Comments. Political and
Otherwise, on Matters of Interest.
(By Andrew J. Palm.)
The Johnstown Democrat says: Wan
araaker rues two big department stores,
the Bethany Sunday school, the Phila
delphia North American, and, with one
or two more hitches on his trousers,
he'll be running Quay out of Pennsyl
vania politics.
McKinley professes to be satisfied
with the result of the recent election
in Ohio as an endorsement of his im
perialism. How much greater reason
has Mr. Bryan to feel proud of the en
dorsement given him by his own state?
The majority against Mr. McKinley, as
shown by the combined vote of Mc-
Lean and Jones, is GO.OOO. while Mr.
Bryan was endorsed by a clear major
ity of 15,000 in his state of Nebraska.
One of the surprises of the recent
election was the result in Potter coun
ty. Though it has been considered a
safe Republican county the Democratic
ticket was elected by majorities rang
ing from 600 to 1,400. With Potter
Democratic a member of congress
should be gained in that district, and a
Democrat elected to the legislature in
Mr. Crittenden's place. Especial care
should be taken to select strong candi
dates—men of conceded ability and
unquestioned integrity.
The prosperity of which we hear so
much from our Republican exchanges
Is confined mostly to those who needed
it least. Manufacturers and trusts are
getting the lion's share. The price of
nails affords a good illustration of the
whole case. In 1898 the price of nails
was $1.50 per keg; now they are selling
at $4.35, or an increase in cost to the
consumer of 190 per cent, while the in
crease in wages is but 10 per cent. The
manufacturer had a profit at the price
of nails in '9B, and it is evident that
the trust has an enormous profit now.
Fully 90 per cent of the increased cost
on most articles is clear profit to some
body else than the man who does the
work to produce them.
The Philadelphia North American is
doing the state excellent service by ex
posing rascality and crime against
good citizenship and against the very
foundation principles of a republican
form of government. Every time The
North American's ax has fallen thus
far some bad Republican has got it
in the neck, and it deserves all the
more credit for waging battle against
wrongdoers who claim allegiance to
its own party. If The North American's
club in its descent shall strike some
rascally Democrat the party is ready
to say "Well done; hit him again."
The North American's bold stroke in
forcing Josiah Adams off the ticket,
and itsdilligenceinrunningdown ballot
box stutters, as well as its general fear
lessness, make it a paper to be feared
by those whose deeds are evil and re
spected by those who obey their coun
try's laws.
The voting machineat the recent elec
tion in Buffalo worked to the satisfaction
of everybody. It was absolutely cor
rect, no man could work it for more
than one vote at a time, and the result
was known all over the city within
an hour after the polls closed. The
Philadelphia machine was not so gen
erally satisfactory, though it did work
that pleased its advocates. It dumped
200 ballots into one ballot box to start
with, in order not to be obliged to have
so many to put in later in the day. The
result is, the honest citizens of the
state are disgusted, some of the perpe
trators of the fraud are staring at
penitentiary doors, while the instiga
tors of the crime are quaking in their
shoes, fearing that the real criminals
may be discovered before the end of
the hunt. Governor Stone stands as
sponsor for the Philadelphia machine,
and absolutely refused to alltiw the
people of the state relief when they,
through their representatives, asked
for a chance to vote on a constitutional
amendment to prevent ballot box stuf
fing in the large cities.
The Democrats of the state are pret
ty well out of patience with the so
called Democratic organization of Phil
adelphia. About the only time the
Philadelphia leaders show any activity
is at state conventions; but unless they
make more of a showinj hereafter to
ward repressing ballot box stuffing and
general political crookedness instead
of seeming to wink at it, they will aot
be permit'fed to have so much to say in
conventions. All reasonable allowance
should be made for the political sins
with which they are charged, but of
which they may he innocent, but when
It goes without contradiction that pre
cinct after precinct in Philadelphia
holds election after election without a
single qualified officer on the election
board, and that, too, without a protest
from anybody, there is something in
Denmark that stinks. Philadelphia
Democrats are not expected to poll
votes they do not have, but they can
make such a protest against open and
flagrant election frauds as will make
Ben Franklin's statue on city hall
smile an approval.
The more the people hear and see of
Hon. William J. Bryan the more they
find in him to admire. He is honest,
frank, courageous and able. He never
hedges, dodges nor equivocates. He
has decided opinions and can express
them as forcibly and eloquently as any
man on earth. During the 12 days pre
ceding the late election Mr. Bryan trav
eled 3,600 miles and made 82 addresses.
His speeches were not mere platitudes
about the starry old flag or the tran
scendent glory of this great republic v..
the high destiny of the nation under
God and McKinley. His addresses al
ways contain something sensible and
worthy of thoughtful consideration.
Mr. Bryan is a marvel of physical en
durance and has an exceedingly wide
and accurate knowledge of public af
fairs. The editorials of goldbug
papers in attempting to belittle him
and his cause are written by men who
are so far his inferiors in every good
sense that they are not worthy to be
mentioned in comparison. Most of his
detractors are men who have no con
victions on any subject that they hold
sacred, but who write what their em
ployers dictate, for a fixed price. Cour
age and ability cannot be hooted down
by the jibes of aristocrats, and Will
iam Jennings Bryan will live to tri
umph over those who meet his logic
with ridicule and his arguments with

CUBA IS PROSTRATE.
ITS FERTILE FIELDS ARE VACANT AND
ITS PEOPLE DESTITUTE.
William Wlllard Howard's Vivid
Description of a Scene of Desola
tion and Despair--Cuba in All Its
Nakedness.
"After a year of peace the island of
Cuba shows practically no progress
toward its own reconstruction. The
desolation that war and Weyler
wrought continues almost without
abatement. The fertile fields are va
cant: the farmhouses in ruins. The
destitute and helpless farm folk re
main in the towns, waiting for as
sistance to return to the cultivation of
their lauds. On the outskirts of the
town and on some of the large planta
tions a little attempt has been made to
resume cultivation of the soil, but the
country as a whole Is tenantless and
idle. Thousands of Cuban widows are
without homes or any means of sup
port. Many, many thousands of help
less orphans beg their bread from door
to door."
This statement of the present con
dition of Cuba was made to the Execu
tive Committee of the Cuban Industrial
Relief Fund by William Wlllard How
ard, general manager of the fund, on his
return from Cuba a short time ago. Mr.
Howard continues:
"The improved condition in Cuba
that one now and then sees reported by
casual travelers and others refer al
most wholly to the improvements in
sanitation and civil administration.
In these two things there has been de
cided improvements. The administra
tion of General Brooke and his officers
lias been and is a wonderful object les
son in honesty and efficiency. The
Cubans cannot yet believe that it can
be real, so great is the change from
Spanish corruption and incapacity.
Some day I hope that General Brooke
will receive full credit for what he has
doue in Cuba. The relief work that I
have already done In Cuba shows me
how bard is General Brooke's task.
"1 stood one day recently on the top
of the Pan de Matanzas, the highest
mountain in Central Cuba. The view
covered a radius if fifty miles. I could
see from the neighborhood of Havana
to a point some distance beyond Car
denas, nearly a hundred miles east and
west 1 could see from the Straits of
Florida on the north side to the Car
ribeau Sea on the south. In all that I
wide sweep of country there was little j
to he seen other tintn wreck and ruin
and desolation. It was as though one
looked at a desert from which all signs
of human life and activity had been
withdrawn. But life was there, hud
dled in tiie towns along the railways.
The fields wore overgrown with weeds
and tall grass: the ruined walls of
farmhouses gleamed through the lux
urious vegetation like skeletons which
nature was trying to cover witli a
screen of dense vines. One had to look
again and again to find a ploughed
field in all that wilderness of ruin. By \
far the greatest extent of ploughed
land that one could see was two red
blurs on the landscape at Celba Mocha,
where the Cuban Industrial Relief
Farms are located.
"I have never seen a more pathetic
sight. One saw Cuba in all its naked
ness. The ruins, the desolation, the
destitution, came home to one's mind
and heart in one wide, sweeping view.
Until I stood on that mountain top I
had not really seen Cuba. I had trav
eled through Santa Clara, Matanzas
and Havana provinces on the cars: I
had ridden long distances on horse
back. and, more than that. I had
walked perhaps a hundred miles
through the deserted fields and among I
the ruined homes: I had lived five
months in the midst of all the desola
tion and destitution, but until I stood
on the top of Pan de Matanzas I had
not known Cuba."
Mr. Howard believes the ordinary
traveler is Inclined to be so much im
pressed with the beauty of the secenry
thai lie does not properly appreciate
the extent of tlie destitution. One can
not see Cuba from a hotel piazza, nor
yet know Culm by tiding through its
desolation on tlie railway. The beauty
of the scenery charms the casual trav
eler. so that he sees only the noble
palm trees, standing like shafts of
granite topped with ostrich plumes,
and does not realize that the only shel
ter which the poor reeoncentrados have
is the wretched huts which they build
of the leaves and bark of this same
stately tree. They set* the beauty of
the trees but not the desolation and
misery that lies at its foot. It is hard
to realize that a country of such great
beauty can hide so much misery.
"Why have the plantations not re
sumed operations?"
"That is easy of answer. We have on
our relief farm, working for five cents
an hour, men who own large tracts of
excellent farming land. I asked one
of thorn, merely to hear what he would
say, why he did not resume the cultiva
tion of ids laud and rebuild Uis burned j
sugar mill, instead of working for us j
for forty ii\- cents a day. He looked at
me a moment, as though questioning ]
the sanity of my inquiry. Then he held j
out his hands, palms upward, and said: !
'That is why.' His hands were empty."
The hulk of (Julia's agricultural exist- i
etiee depends on the cultivation of:
sugar cane. With raw sugar selling I
for only 2% cents a pound on the sea- |
coast in Culm, there are few capitalists
who will lend money to owners of Cu-1
ban sugar estates. The Interruption in I
the sugar industry caused by the war!
gave the manufacturers of beet sugar I
such an advantage and such a hold on j
the markets of the world that the!
grower of sugar cane finds himself 1
crowded pretty close to the wall.
In illustrating tills point Mr. Howard
said: "Let us assume that the produc
tion of Cuban sugar is now one-fifth of
what It was before the war. If Cuban
sugar .with only one-fifth of the nor
mal production offered for sale. Is only
2% cents a pound, delivered oil the sea-1
coast, what is likely to be the price of
sugar when the production is restored
to its normal bulk? The capitalist,
who has money to invest, hesitates |
right there. It is not that the capital
ist fears another revolution would de j
Jtroy his investment, for that eontin !
gency is remote: it is that he fears tie
price of sugar, when the plantations re
sumo operations, will not enable tie
cane grower and flic cane grinder te
work tit a profit. If the jiorrower can
not make a profit the lender cunnot
have a safe investment for his money '
THE FILIPINO'S BOLO.
A Terrible Weapou When Used in a
Hand-to* Hand Conflict.
A letter from Lieutenant William M.
Copp, of the Sixth Artillery, who was
on the gunboat Nupidan in Lugunn de
llay, gives the following interesting
information concerning one phase of
the lighting with the Filipinos:
"An odd trait in the character of the
natives is that they never leave one of
their dead if they can possibly get him
away. They leave more now than they
used to, tor this reason: Formerly they
had at least live meu for every gun.
and about all these men were good for
was to carry away the wounded and
dead, although they were armed with
bolus. These weapons were very effec
tive against the Spaniards, as the bolo
men apparently cared nothing for their
own lives, and the Spaniards had not
the courage to stand when they
charged, so, <tf course, they were cut to
pieces, the bolo being without doubt
one of the most terrible weapons at
close quarters in the world. It is very
sharp and so heavy that it will smash
any sword in pieces that I have seen, j
They use theui in the right hand and
a long, heavy dagger in the left. I
had one of the many amigos who could
handle the bolo go through the motions
for me. and it was truly wonderful.
The rapidity of his moves were such
that the eye could hardly follow them,
ami all the time he kept a constant!
guard. The bolo is to cut. no point;
the-dagger is used to stab, no edge.'
When the bolo men tried the same tac
tics on our men that they were accus
tomed to employ so successfully against
the Spaniards, they were killed in large
iiuiulkms. as our men did not run, but
simply shot them. Now so many of
these men have been killed, there are
fewer of them to a gun, and they are
not able to get the dead away quite as
well as formerly.
"If your servant goes away for a day j
or two, you can be certain be is with
the insurgents and in some fight. It
is too common to excite comment here
when an officer's servant, who has
been absent several days, is found in
the insurgents' uniform killed or is
brought into our hospital for treat
ment."
Karly to Bed in Manila.
The recent order of Hon. Otis that all
residence of Manila must be off the
streets by 7 o'clock in the evening has
had a wonderful effect in tranquillizing
the city. The order is obeyed to the
letter. When the clock bells In the
many church towers ieal their seven
strokes they chime in with u general
shop doors and rattling of rigs along
the bumpy streets. In a few moment*
swarming, buzzing Manila is changed
into a rural, drowsy village where the
maxim "Early to bed." etc., holds Iron
sway. Barefooted pickaninnies and
loose sandaled men and women hurry
to their homes and the streets resound
only with the heavy tread of the civil
guard.
Toward the curfew boll the vehicles
begin to move faster, the horse cats all
run one way, toward the barns, and
the Filipino clerks and waiters begin
to stamp about in a restless and im
patient manner. A lingering customer
perhaps finds himself suddenly walled
up within a store, and is compelled to
make his exit through a small opening,
which is closed as hurriedly as possible
after him.
It is a transformation while that
street is full of humanity. At five mtn
utes after 7 the last two or three Fili
pinos are seen almost runniug to get
home. The provost guard calls out
"Pronto," or "hurry along," and the
tardy culprit instantly halts. He would
rather halt twenty times than run the
risk of misunderstanding a command
and getting a bullet In his person. Then
he sets out with renewed vigor—not
running, for if he ran he would surely
raise suspicion and run a greater risk
of getting shot, but walking with both
hands flapping and linen shirt swing
ing wide to the breeze, and wTfh thai
earnest expression which Is meant to
sav to the guards. "Yes. Senor. 1 am
hurrying home just as fast as possible."
Grown In the Sandwich Islands.
"The soil of the Hawaiian Islands Is
of a very rich volcanic nature, aud
nearly all the plants and trees of the
tropical and temperate zones may be
grown on it. but only a small portion
of the land is under cultivation. When
irrigation is perfected there is scarcely
a limit to the productive capabilities
of the islands.
"Cltreous fruits, oranges, lemons,
limes and grape frnits can be grown,
ripening in time to supply the de
ficiency of the California market when
that gives out. All vegetables, bread
stuffs. mangoes, dates, figs, mulberries,
pomegranates, strawberries, guavas
and cocoa nuts grow in profusion.
There are hundreds of acres of land
which might be used for coconnut
groves with great success. Thousands
of acres are covered with guavas iu the
wild state, which are falling to the
ground ungatliered. The fruit makes a
fine jelly, and United States capital
might make guava jelly factories prof
itable.
"Celery is grown if the proper soil
is selected. That this vegetable thrives
in a warm climate was proved in
Southern California, where five years
ago not enough was produced to sup
ply the home market, hut on the In
troduction of skilled methods from
Michigan, celery raising has become a
great industry. Dairying might be
made a profitable business in the Ha
waiian Islands, hut at present is neg
lected."
Cuba's Benefactor.
The United States has done a great
good in Culm. It has lifted up a
stricken people and put the reius of ;
government into their unpracticed
hands, in so far as it has been safe to
do so. It is daily increasing the scope!
of this power, as the Cubans show:
themselves capable of receiving it. it;
has kept down the carpet bugger rush
ing here for employment, until the
howl has been raised by indignant
Americans that Americans are being
discriminated against. It has given al
Cuba for the Cubans at the cost of I
much patience and toil.
Since annexation there has been a
mania for busmen consolidation in
Honolulu, aud even the barber shops,
and '-audy stores have formed trusts
with a view to discouraging outsiders
froiu offering competition.
