The labor organizations and nearly
everybody else, except the real estate
spectators who expected to make
money out of it, were greatly pleased
by the action of the Senate in killing
the scheme for an issue of bonds by
the District of Columbia, for the
extension Of the streets of Washing
ton, and for building sewers. The
labor organizations have actively op-
posed this scheme from the first.
Senators can quarrel if they canno.,
or will not legislate. This was proven
when Senators Mitchell, of Oregon,
and Harris, of Tennessee, swapped
Miss Nancyisms on the floor of the
Senate. Mr.. Mitchell SAID of Mr.
Harris, He Is capable of doing un.
usual, indiscreet and uhgentlemanly
things" and Mr.. Harris retorted

Sanity and Brilliancy.

From the Lebanon Report.
The suit brought by the once famous
Anna Dickinson to recover damages for
alleged false confinement on the plea Of
insanity revives interest In the question
of the relation insanity bears to brill
iancy. 1t Is a point contested by medi-
cal experts, and opinion is by no means
one-sided. Not a few careful students Of
the physiology of the mind allege that
there is but a step between the two and
that really brilliant mind Is not a normal
one 1t is pointed out by them that a
strain of insanity in more or less violent
form almost invariably crops out in the
family tree. There are some conspicu-
Gus instances of marked pecullarities in
brilliant men. Poe's was certainly not n
normal mind Edwin Booths brother, the
murderer of Lincoln. was unquestionably
insane, while Edwin Booth himself pos
sessed a very singular mental tempera-
ment, Byron was not normal, though he
could not be called insane; Samuel John

could fathom them. In fact II we would

Cuba and SDai,l,

From the New York Sun.
Supposing no international complica-
tions arise, the United States government
cannot touch the struggle of the Cuban IN
surgents. Our government has no con-
Germ with the question, no right to meddle
with it. But every American citizen
worthy of his birthright wishes that the
Cuban rebels might prevail, and throw
into the sea the authority of Spain in this
hemisphere, never to be raised again over
Cuba.
The Spanish monarchy on this side Of
the water, governing foreign country de-
string self-government, is an anomaly. 1t
Is an untmely and outlandlsh outrage on
the principles asserted successfully by the
colonies of the United States. The entire
population of North and South America,
all republicans, want to see the power Of
Spain Withdrawn to Its own soil, and
Cuba left to the destiny its citizens can
make for 1t. Free Cuba, of any form of
government, but self-governing, is the
hope on this side of the Atlantic today; 1t
Is the inevitable fact of tomorrow
All the efforts of the gallant Cubans to
make that morrow come as soon as pos
sible are backed by the living sympathies
of the North American Union.

sentiment against so-called Christian
science SO much as to make martyrs
of the "reformers" thus censured, and
to this extent to stimulate the faith
cure" propaganda.
We confess that we see no legal way
out of these recurring tragedies of
superstition, delusion or whatever else
the tenet in question may be called. 1t
does not look plausible that sane par
ents would wish to sacrifice their chill
dren; yet parents to all appearances
sane do not infrequently achieve this
horrible result, not through intention
but through misplaced confidence. a
censorship Of the teachings of prophets
of new religious beliefs is impossible
of establishment by law and apparent
ly ineffective when established by the
application, under forms of law as in
the Palmyra case, of the principle that
sorship over the words or creeds OF it's
citizens, 1t may properly hold them ac-
countable for results, satisfies justice
only when responsibility for such re-
suits as the death of unattended sick
persons can be clearly established. And
thus the problem gains in comp!eXity
the longer it is studied.
Perhaps the best, certainly the cas-
lest, solution would be to let these vari-
Gus systems of religious, or irrellgious,
instruction continue without opposi-
ton. If there be truth in them, 1t will
eventually work its way to the surface,
while the errors will quite as surely be
precipitated to the bottom. Before this
reaction shall be complete, doubt
less number of lives Will
have been sacrificed; but not a greater
number than would be sacrificed were
persecution and martyrdom to figure
in the process. All progress Is won at
the cost of bloodshed. Every flower
gathers its brilliant hues to some de-
gree from the coloration of human
blood, shed in the battles for per-
fected civilization. This is a law of ma
ture not to be lightly evaded or mega
tived. Therefore, we may as well view
the present ephemeral subject philo-
sophically, and save our energies for
more important crises.

The current report which credits Gov

proposed new license law.

Scranton's Best Advertiser.

The writings of the late A. w. Cook
illustrate the difference between fiction
which has malice behind it and fiction
used as harmless vehicle of expressing
truths. The bear stories' which Mr..
Cook located in Scranton and it's i'm
mediate vicinity had no foundation in
truth, as news, yet they were grandly
true in their teaching of natural his
tory. Mr.. Cook was careful student
of birds, wild animals and fishes. He
knew their haunts and their habits.
His keen interest in outdoor life brought
him into happy sympathy with nature,
and gave to his most daring flights of
fancy a certain semblance Of sincerity
which proved him the genuine artist as
well as the observant naturalist.
Mr.. Cook probably did more to adver-
tise Scranton than any other man in it.
1t may be that he was guilty of intensi-
flying the once-prevalent impression
that Scranton was mining village Of
the wild and riotous type made familiar
tier gold-digging camps Of the vintage
of '49. 1t may be that his good-natured
stories of mythical adventures imposed
upon some credulous people the notion
that Lackawanna county was inhabited
chiefly by rattlesnakes, grizzly bears,
weevils, coyotes and wildcats. But if
ne had not done that these persons
would never have heard of Scranton;
and twere better to be misunderstood
than not to be thought Of, at all.
At any rate, the Scranton which Mr..
Cook pictured was decidedly more in
viting than is the Scranton held up to
reproba ton by most of the space-raters
of the sensational metropolitan press.
He gave us bear dances but not horri-
BILE race wars. He took liberties with
eagles, hawks and painters" but
scrupulously refrained from working
the festive "cave-in'' or manipulating
the stiletto-abounding vendetta. His
writings were full of feathers and
claws, but never of "polinky," poniards
or the murderous paraphernalia Of the
Mafla or the Molly Maguires. Scranton
can rise superior to rattlesnakes and
rowing raccoons. Would that it could
with equal ease rid itself Of the. OBJ
noxious influences Of the bloodthirsty
sensationallst who murders men, wo-
men and children, demolishes homes
and starts great conflagrations all for

The legislator at Albany who, in
order to conserve the morals of GER
tain perverted Gothamite admirers of
the nude in art, proposes to prescribe
by legislation what people shall wear
and what kind of pictures they shall
look at, no doubt means well, but he
has taken hold of task for which no
living legislator is sufficiently quail
fed. We do not believe that statutory
enactments are necessary in these
premises. If individual decency and
good taste are insufficient to cope with
the problem, little can be expected in
way of wise relief from so promiscuous
q body as a general assembly.
