Pennsylvania Opportunity.

The Wilkes-Barre Record is entirely
correct in saying that the magnificent
record Of Pennsylvania as a leader in
Republicanism sis not due to any rec
ognition which she has received In the
national councils Of the party, but to
her answering loyalty to the prin-
ciples Of Republicanism. Year after
year has she marched behind her
partys banner, a volunteer in the
ranks, fighting manfully and with
marked success for the cause of equal
rights and good government. Her only
reward has been the consciousness that
she has done her duty. Had she been
recognized in proportion to the SER
vice she has done for Republicanism
she would today stand foremost in
councils of the party, and her demand
for a representative in the presidential
chair would not pass unheeded. That
is her right, and we are very much mis-
taken If that right is not asserted ana
recognized in the near future"
The opportunity to assert that right
may be nearer than some people sup
pose. One of the reasonable probable
tiles of the next Republican national
convention is that the Pennsylvania
delegation, under the astute and con-
ciliatory leadership of Senator Quay,
will make an united and enthusiastic
stand for the nomination of our pres
ent magnetic and popular governor
General Daniel H. Hastings. To do
this would be both proper recogni-
ton Of the Republican behind whose
leadership the party in this state rolled
up the largest plurality on record, and
also a stroke of strategic politics of
which only real politicians like Sena.
tor Quay, rising superior to factional
jealousies or resentments. are capable.
We are not prepared to predict that
Governor Hastings will be the next
presidential nominee. The outlook is
yet too complex for safe predictions on
that score. But 1t is easy to foresee
possible contingencies in which he
might be nominated, in which event the
right Of Pennsylvania to more ample
recognition in the national councils Of
the party would be recognized in the
most fitting and satisfactory manner.
The latest story with reference to this
governments intentions toward Cuba
is that the president will soon make a
formal proffer to Spain of his services
as q mediator, and will try to compro-
mise matters. Such an offer would
probably bring down the wrath of both
sides to the dispute. There are some
things which cannot be compromised,
and from all accounts Spanish tyranny
is one Of them. The best way to settle
the Cuban revolution would be to send
q force Of armed men and fleet Of war;
ships over to Cuba bearing a notice
from Uncle Sam to the Spanish pick
pockets to get out. The chances are
they would take the hint.

Governor Hastings, II earnestly pre-
sented as Pennsylvania candidate for
the presidential nomination, would
stand a better show than any other
candidate except Harrison, Reed, Nc
Kinley and Allison. With these four
leaders in the race sacrificing each
others chances, why should 1t not be
possible for Pennsylyania's man to win?

Schlatter unfiinchingly," says Mr..
Bingham, ANSWERS in the affirmative.
He looks straight into the face of the
questioner, and out of his gentle blue
eyes. singularly beautiful, there shine
goodness and sincerity, which cannot
be doubted"
Cures in large numbers are reported
as consequences of his ministrations.
The majority of cases, though, are ner-
vous disorders. Among the striking
cases cited by Mr. Bingham may be
mentioned those which follow: Maud
Ward, a 15-year-old girl Of Longmont,
Col, had suffered for years with par
alysis of her right arm. Physicians
could not cure her. She went to see
Schlatter and now has the full use
of her limb. save for a slight stiffness,
consequent upon long disuse of the
member. Fred Webber, 10-year-old
boy, living on Mary street, North Den
yer, had been q victim of acute hip
disease for long years and lately had
suffered the keenest agonies. He is
now running around with his play
mates, apparently cured. Schlatter laid
his hands upon the boy five days in
succession. d. NJ. Powers, of George
town, Colo, was cured within a week
of an aggravated case of infiammatory
rheumatism. Mr.. Fox himself, at whose
home Schlatter Is a guest, has been
made to hear, as he has not been able
to do in ten years, having been partial
ly deaf all that time.
While skepticism as to the preten-
sions of this man is natural, it is prob
ably true that many persons who will
scout his claim to the Messiahship will
concede the curative properties Of his
laying on of hands. In this di-
rection natural science, usually
SO confident, stands puzzled and
uncertain. The records of ancient
times, profane as well as sacred,
abound in evidence that healing was
done by mental or psychic suggestion,
and without the aid of material agen-
cies such as drugs; and in our own
day the spread of the belief in the ef-
ficacy of the same curative method,
when accompanied by faith or prayer
or both, has been rapid. 1t is an ever
present possibility that we are on the
eve of important revelations of unsus-
pected occult laws and forces, as real
in their way if not as palpable, as are
the forces of physics. The expected
revelations appear thus far to have
failed to materialize except in special
cases; but this affords no ground in
logic for rejecting the hypothesis that
such laws and forces exist. At all
events, this man Schlatter is fair type
of a class of men who, however absurd
their hallucinations, yet represent suf-
ficieht actual achievement along OBJ
scure lines of experiment to set prudent
Investigators to thinking.

CULTURE AND PUBLIC LIFE.

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
