These numbers have grown since 1890, but
there is no reason to doubt that Pennsyl-
vania still retains her pre-eminence in her
number Of Polish and Hungarian laborers.
In the coal mining and coke burning regions
of the State the Hun or the Pole finds con-
genial work, and, for him, big wages. He
finds there his friends, his language, his GUS
toms, and his priests He does not find that
stern rule he has been used to at home, and
he soon becomes possessed of the idea that
this is not only the land of plenty but the
land of absolute freedom and that here he
can do what he pleases. even when that
which he pleases is violence, rioting and
murder. In the anthracite coal regions the
Huns and Poles have become nuisance
from their disregard of cleanliness and ordi-
nary hygiene, and source of dread for their
disregard of law Luzerne County had in
1890 5000 Huns and 1900 Poles, nearly all
of them able bodied men, and their number
since the census has steadily increased.
In paper in the american Magazine
of Ciuics, under the title ga Social
Study of Pennsylvania" VIM. Futtry
Gibbons says:
The first influx of these laborers into any
given community marks distinct drop to-
ward barbarism. The streets fill with gar
bage; the clearinghouse fill long past the
last degree of comfort; the English language
becomes an unknown tongue. The Sunday
after pay day brings out the worst features
The saloons are filled with drinking men
and the town becomes q pandemonium. The
boarding houses are the scenes of brawls and
murder over the barrels of beer and the
buckets of polenka. Small wonder that of
the original inhabitants every one who can
moves ont and the community becomes a
law unto itself. In some villages hardly a
handful of voters remains. OF the foreign
ers, some one man a little more powerful
than the rest becomes sort of king"
among his fellows, and policy of absolute
subjeclion tempered with assassination,
rules the community. Sometimes it is the
liking" who is assassinatsd. sometimes the
subject. The laws of the State are seldom
appealed to except when some constable or
detective becomes the prosecutor, and even
then the alien community unItes to shield,
rather than to bring to justice, the guilty
party.
The Press thinks that we can do very
little for the first generation of these, but
we should look out that their children
shall be improved, and it urges COM
puIsory education law, which must be
vigorously enforced.

THE CUBAN SITUATION.

The difficulty now is that no matter
what promises Spain may make the
Cubans no one will believe her. Every
time the Cubans have risen in revolt the
Spamards have made the most liberal
promises, only to absolutely ignore them
when the instruction ended. The over
whelming fact is that Spain has lot
of corrupt politicians who must have
money, or they will 90 into revolution.
The only way to keep them from stirring
up trouble at home is to send them 10
Cuba with license to squeeze the peo-
pie there to the last limit of endurance.
This condition of things can never
change. Spain is an old, intensely cor
rupt, WORKOUT country. There is nei-
ther virtue nor honor among her gov
ening classes, and there is no chance of
better blood coming up from below, be-
cause the people have been kept so
densely ignorant that they are entirely
unfit for any reformation. The royal
family and the nobility were VIGOROUSLY
unfit TO govern two centuries ago, and
they have not improved since; yet moth
ing better has appeared than to let them
go on governing. A Spanish Republic
is a futility, because so people out of
every 100 are unable to read or write.
Her people would have to develop for
100 years more before they would be as
fit for a Republic as the French are to-
day, and the French are none too fit.
The probabilities increase daily that the
Cubans will gain their independence.
The reason will be the same which has

other colonies. The forces arrayed for
independence have always been rela-
lively insignificant, but the greed, cor
ruption, incompetency, jealousy, and
worthlessness of the home officials have
always nullifed the efforts of the COM
manders in the field. At present there
is show of giving Captain-General
Campos a fair support, but it is only
a show. The intriguers around the pal
ace are much more intent on filling
their own pockets and advancing their
selfish interests than they are in pushing
forward military matters. Ignorant as
the Spanish people are they know this,
and they cannot be made to give the
Government the hearty, effective sup
port that free and enlightened people
give theirs in any emergency. Up to
this time Campos has received-at least
on paper-over $4,000 men. With such
force of American soldiers he could
sweep from one end of the island to the
other in few weeks, and end the re-
belIion most summarily. On the con-
trary, he is hemmed up inside of his
Notifications, and it would seem that he
cannot send a detachment out without
its being com<2lled to fight its way back
to camp.
We shall soon see what the issue will
be- The cool weather is not far off. If
Campos is a man Of real ability, and if
he has the force he is reported to have,
the instruction will be crushed before
Spring. If he is not able to do this,
Cuban independence is pretty certain.
Spain has neither the men nor the means
for a second campaign. She has strained
her financial nerves badly to put the
present force on the island, and the loss
of life already is producing profound
discomfort among the people.
To-day the chances are more than
even that Cuba will 90 the way that
Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, Central
America, Peru, Chile, Argentine, Be-
livia, Ecuador, and the others went. 1t
is to be hoped that she will make better
use of her freedom than the others have

PERSONAL

1t seems that Gen. Parker was never really
admitted to the bar. He passed his examina-
ton successfully, but the courts of New York
decided that the Indians were the wards of the
State of New York, and that none but citizens
could be allowed to practice law. He was quite
a wealthy man once, but lost nearly everything
in the Jay Cook failure. He leaves a widow,
and daughter 10 years old. There was a Gu
rous mixture of Christian and Indian rites at
Gen. Parkers funeral. Around the coffin sat
six full-booded Indians silent and stern. Across
the hall in darkened room were four Indian
women. who had come to carry back to the
tribe the sachem vampum beads that lay on
the coffin. An Episcopalian minister read the
church services for the dead. Just before che

out to the hearse by six comrades of the Grand
Army. Three brothers of the Loyal Legion
and three OF the Colonial War Society followed
as IN escort of honor. Beside the bier four
Indians took their places, two on a side. They
walked close beside the pallbearers. and when
the coffin had been put into the hearse they
took positions Mt each wheel. The women
rode to the grave in carriages. Before the cof-
fin was lowered into the grave, where IL rested

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE Your an
swer to my fifth question last week shows
that You did not clearly comprehend it's
meaning II j am not trespassing too greatly
on your patience, would be pleased to ask
that question once more, putting it in such
form that, ! trust, there Will be no am
biguty of expression.
What | meant was this: IF the United
States Treasury Department should refuse
from hence!orth to redeem any silver dollar
silver certificate, Treasury note, United
States note, or National bank note in gold,
what effect would such decision have on
the silver dollar? Would it then be worth
only it's bullion value, 81 cents or would
tine stamp of the Government and its legal
tender quality still hold it at par? Truly
yours-L. B. AVERY.
We think, most decidedly, and our
reading of the economic history of the
world strongly supports our belief that
under the circumstances mentioned the
silver dollar would rapidly sink to its
bullion value, carrying with it the paper
money, which would be worth only what
.
it was redeemed in.
The legal tender attribute has been
greatly overestimsted. At most, " legal
tender" can only apply to debts due
the Government and the States etc, and
to judgments of courts, etc. These form
a very small part Of the daily uses of
money-probably not more than one
tcn-thousandth of the, whole.
Every civilized country in the world
has repeatedly tried to bolster up the
value of paper notes, debased coin, etc,
by making them legal tender, and
always failed. Failed every time
Our making the greenbacks legal
tender did not keep them from falling
to SO cents on the dollar.
The advocates of free silver under
stand this thoroughly, and are logical
in their position. They say the present
dollar costs too much, and they want
cheaper one. They have to give nearly
two bushels of wheat for the present
dollar, and they want one they can get
for one bushel of wheat.

COOPERATIVE FARMING.

An ASSOCIATION has been started In
Minneapolis, the operations of which
will be watched with a great deal of
interest. 1t proposes TO start with cap
ital Of $4,000, divided into shares of So
each. The capital is to be invested in
a tract of farming land, which is to be
common property, as will also be the
stock, utensils, etc. A small part of the
land will be made town, the lots in
which will be sold outright to members
Of the association, and the houses and
other improvements will also be their
property. All the members will labor
upon the land, or at trades necessary to
tilling the farms, and at rates Of pay to
be fixed by the governing body. The
proceeds will be sold in bulk, at the best
attainable rates, and the profits be equally
divided. The association proposes to be
guided in its operations by the principles
which have proved so successful in the
management of the Rochdale Co-opera-
tive Association.
Whether the enterprise will be sue
cess will depend wholly upon the execu-
tive ability and honesty Of the men who
are at the head. The chances are rather
against success, because of the inevitable
iealousies and dissensions of such an
association, and because men will not
work for an association, nor save and
economic as carefully as they will for
themselves. Still, the scheme has
chance of success. There have been q
number Of successes Of this kind in the
history of the country, to set off against
an almost interminable and dreary list Of
failures.
The idea of cooperation is by no
means a new one. In every age there
have been enthusiasts who preached a
Millennium of Labor, when every man
would get all that he produced and So
ciety would have neither rich nor poor.
The greatest impetus to modern thought
in this direction was given by Fourier,
who was born in 1878 and died in 1880.

TEACHING CITIZENSHIP.

philanthropist of New York City, has
just concluded very valuable and in
structive experiment in teaching the
children of the slums the elements of
good citizenship. His plan was most
unique and sensible one, and we would
earnestly call the attention of all mis-
sionary-minded people to it, as much to
be preferred to mission work in China
and Turkey, as a matter of Christian
endeavor.
In the first place, Mr.. George secured
farm of 40 acres in the beautiful lake
region around Ithaca, n. Y. Next. he
recruited a small army of 100 boys and
40 girls in the slums of New York, and
took them to the farm for two-months'
outing. The next was the radical move
of putting the Government of the little
colony in the hands of the boys them
selves. As soon as the excitement of
arriving at the farm had subsidized some
what, Mr. George called q convention,
and Government was instituted similar
to that of the United States He was
elected President without a dissenting
voice, and from their number the boys
chose a Congress TO make laws, Judic-
iary to administer them, and II police
men to enforce them. Congress began
its session at once, and made such laws
as seemed called for. The boys enforced
these with unrelenting strictness. AT
first they thought it great fun to be ar
rested by Mickey, de Cop" to be tried
by "Reddy, de Judge" and to be locked
up by skinny Bob" but this idea soon
faded away, as the policemen did their
duty with fearless impartiality, and the
offenders got no sympathy from the rest.
They were tried by jury of their peers,
and no matter if this was made up al
most wholly of boys who had just done
their time," they got the full force of the
law. The last few weeks the police had
absolutely nothing to do.
The farm was organized on an in
dustrial plan, with all the boys engaged
in some work of Importance to the COM
munity and the girls employed in house
keeping, cooking, and repairing the
boys clothes.
Each trade had its representative in
the Congress. The most serious evil
that threatened the Government was
laziness Too many of the boys wanted
to loaf and go fishing. Finally an
extra session of Congress was called,
which passed law that any day boy
did not work be should receive nothing
to eat but bread and water. This
brought them to terms at once, and
there was no more complaint of in
dolence. The boys were paid 80 cents
a day, in money Of the colony, which
they could spend for things produced
on tie farm-among them tempting
sweets-or put into a savings bank,
where it would draw interest. They
were all required to drill every morning
and evening. They were not required |
to attend church, but very many of
them did so of their own volition.
The whole experiment cost compare
lively little, and it is believed that it
had the best possible results. Next |
year it will be repeated on a much |
larger scale.
