fact that they have influential lobbies

the idea was ever hazarded that they

In this connection it is refreshing to
learn that the United States Supreme

High Time for Emphatic Action.

Events are happening in manner
likely to make it imperative for con-
gress. before it adjourns. to put the
question directly before President
Cleveland whether he will or will not
issue a proclamation recognizing the
Cuban insurgents as belligerents. The
remark at Madrid Tuesday of EXPIRE
mier Sagasta that he hoped Mr.. Cleve-
land would not accord belligerent rights
to rebels who have not government with
a fixed place. of residence and who do
not hold a fortified position" clearly
indicates the anxiety with which Spain
views the attitude of the United States
in this matter and lends emphasis to
the contention that the obstinacy Of
the present executive in blocking the
must not much longer be permitted to
hold out false hope to Spanish tyranny.
1t has ceased to be material whether
the Cubans have stationary seat of
government or whether they hold n
fortified position. The fact they haN,
for more than year withs.Ood the
flower of the Spanish army and have
driven both Campos and Weyler slowly
but steadily backward until they now
hold I'm practical possession more than
nine-tenths of the island is a demon
stration of belligerency that overmas-
ters technical bubbles.
1t must by this time be manifest to
congress, as it Is to the people. that the
further management of this important
question cannot with safety be entrust-
ed to Grover Cleveland. His position
with reference to 1t Is already one Of
practical insubordination. He has
ignored the mandate of the nation. He
has deliberately and almost defantly
lent his help to the Spanish cause. He
simply cannot be trusted In the interval

following congress adjournment. This
seems Il harsh thing to have to say of an
American president. but Is the saying

there has not been II moment in his oc-
cupancy Of the presidential chair when
he has been, as an official. responsive
To the patriotic sentiment of the peo-
nlc or anxious to execute the popular
will. For congress to adjourn without
having taken from him The power FUR

toward Cuba and without having made
plain to Spain that she cannot with
impunity, under IA reliance upon her
pun with Cleve land, seize American cit
i2ens and upon drumhead trial sum
mariiy condemn them to death, would
be u gross breach of duty concerning
which public Indignation would he swift
to manifest itself.
Fortunately the opportunity for ac-
tion is near 10 hand. Senator Morgan
sometime ago took the wise precaution
to introduce in the senate a joint reso-
luton of recognition of Cuban belliger-
ency. Action upon this resolution was
delayed pending the manifestation by
the president of an inclination To do his
duty without cOmpulsion. Since that
moment. his studied indifference TO duty
has fully justified the waving of fur
ther ceremony. Congress may now with
entire propriety proceed to the ad0p-
tion of the Morgan joint resolution.
This resolution, unlike the previous or
concurrent one, calls for executive ac-
tiOn. II the president should sign 1t,
boligerency would then become u fact.
If he should veto il, congress could
and would pass it over his veto, and
beligerency would likewise become a
fact. 1t will be seen that congress now
has the rers in its own hands. The
stubborn president is practically help
less. Is it not, therefore, due to the
American people, who have so eloquent
ly manifested their sympathy for
Cuba's cause. and to congress itself,
which by almost unanimous vote has
requested the president to take action
which will strengthen Cuba's position,
that the Morgan joint resolution should
now be adopted and the wretched farce
of executive pigheadedness ended once
and for all?

An Untenable Position.

We do not concur in the Wilkes
Barre Records almost daily insinua-
tions that the Pennsylvania delegates
who propose to vote for Senator quay
if he shall be- candidate at St Louis
have been either bullied or cajoled into
this course Less than three months
ago the Record itself urged that tn"
Pennsylvania delegation accord to the
senator AT least complimentary vote.
Nothing has occurred in the interval
to justify the withdrawal of that Sug-
gestion. The mere fact that Major Me
Kinley seems to be Il sure winner does
not lessen the propriety Of Pennsyl-
vania casting its ballot for Pennsyl-
vania candidate. The compliment in
rolved in such a course will be non"
the less a compliment for failing To
effect the Pennsylvanian's nomination.
The delegation which will represent
this commonwealth in next months

greater part Of honest, reputable and
representative men. u is an insult to

Dental candidacy of Senator Quay.
Judciuus admiration for Ma jor Mckin
ley does not call for such a line of ar
2ument. Many Of the delegates who
will vote for Quay If he shall remain
Il candidate are as staunch friends Of
the Canton candidate as he has In
Pennsylvania, but they do not recog-
ni2e that there is any necessity for
them to indulge in Il mad scramble for
place i'm the Mckinley procession.
When Pennsylvania candidate rctires
they will be for Mckinley. Until then
they will stand bv Quay, irrespective
of the fact that Mckinley is likely to be
the nominee. Ii would be an exceeding
" 'hin kind of loyalty which would
strike colors and desert because rumor
had il that the opposition was likely
TO prove Victorious.
If the situation We're reversed, and

SAVED BY AN ENGINEERS ACT
He Stops the Train and Prevents a
Tragedy-Domestic Troubles
the Cause.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, March 20.-Mrs.
G. F. Rollins, the wife of Southern Pa
citic fireman. attempted to commit suicide
last night by throwing herself across the
track before the eastbound overland train
as it was passing through the yard after
leaving the depot. On the engine of this
train was Rollins, the woman's husband.
Engineer Dilly who was in charge of the
locomotive, acted so promptly in revers-
ing and applying the air brake that the
womans purpose failed. She sprang to
her feet and ran swiftly away, but after
the train got into motion again reap
peared and threw herself in front of the
engine a second time. Again the prompti-
tude of the engineer saved her, and she
was caught by the engineer of night
switch engine, who had her conveyed to
her home.
Mrs. Rollins statement of the cause of
her attempted suicide is as follows:
"My husband and / quarreled to-day
about his sister. When my husband came
home yesterday and found that l had
quarreled with his sister he told me that I
could pack up my things and leave. This
drove me nearly crazy ana | determined
to kill myself in such way that he would
never forget it. | wrote to him telling him
what intended doing and tried to carry
out my purpose. 1t was not my fault that
l was not killed, as l did everything in
my power to have the engine crush me to
death. My husband has been good to me
with one exception, and that is that he
believes what his relatives say about me.
He always gives me his money and treats
me kindly, but when any trouble comes up
between me and his family he always takes
sides against me. 1 could not stand it any
longer and resolved to die"
Concluding, Mrs. Rollins said: II am
glad l was not killed, because my husband
will be back at 5 O'Clock tonight and per-
haps he will forgive me and treat me more
Kindly -
