THE BRITISH md THE TURK.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
Having got everything from the alliance
with Turkey that seems available, the
great organs of British public opinion are
eloquent in the eXpositions of the curse
the Moslem has been to Europe for the
last 300 years. \ particularly eloquent
summary of the horrors put upon civili-
zatlon and Christianity by the hold of the
Turk on the ancient possessions of Greece
appears in the Spectator" which Is
copied throughout this country. But all
that the Turk is, all that the Turk always
was, has been the legend of the ages
since Alahomet carried fire and sword to
the infant civilizations Of the Peloponne-
sian shores. To this day the Easter II
Provinces OF Austria speak of the Turk
as the simple Irish speak of the Cromwell
lians-infamed fanatics destroying simply
for the sake OF destroying.
But two or three times the end of the
Turk was at hand; two or three times
western nations undertook to crush the
munstrous system the Spectator" paints
with such vigorous strokes. In 1898 the
French General Bonaparte was on his VIC
torious way to Constantinople to put an
end to the curse of ages. Victory after
victory attended his march. He reached
the last impcdimont, the walled city OF
Acre Here he found a British army ani
fleet He was checked. He had no navy
to bring supplin>, and to add to the COM
plcNitics of nis position, he learned that
the British had subsidized the Austrian
and Russians to break the peace Just
concluded, and attack France, while Fer
greatest captain was away. Turkey was
saved then by the treaChery of the British
and her allies Innumcrablc times since
the interest of Britain stepped in to save
tine monsters the press now agree that
the Turks have been since their origin.
JIst now It s for British interest to lc;
vengeance overtake AN ancient Copa"ccn-
er but the power that boasts its superior
ity to the wCrld on the ocean. dares not
sep in to protect the Greek people, who
are in their present plight largely through
the mediation of the British policy. Every
day the ridiculous continGcnts of the DOW
crs stand side by side with the fanatics
of the Sultan firing on the Christians, and
the vast British power stands wrinSlna
its hands! Because the war lord wrote
an iMeu,ting letter of Generalization IL
the prcsiGcnt of the Transvaal Republic
on the escape of the state from the attack
Cf marauders, Britain instantly put h"l
fleets on war footing; but to save the
lives of untold numbers of Christian Nic'
Tins the mistress of the seas does moi
dare even express an opinion!

The Dickinson Verdict.

Taking a comprehensive view of the
case in all its bearings the compromise
verdict of the jury in the Dickinson
trial was probably as near an approXl-
nation to justice as it is worth while
to expect in court of law. The law
can adjust in a crude way the money
value of damages, and 1t did this more
or less satisfactorily in the present
instance. The sum of Ga cents, plus
the costs of litigation, is certainly all
that the defendants should pay for
having done, from the best of motives,
an act conceived in neighborly kind
ness, although technically faulty in
its method.
But no judgment of a court Is likely
ever to compensate the long-sufferlng
sister of this pugnacious plaintiff,
whose trials that she sought so un-
selishiy to hide from the knowledge Of
the world were by this suit dragged
into court put in record before the
millions and made the sport and by
play Of unfeeling cross-eXaminerS.
Anna Dickinson would have stood Car
higher in the judgment Of posterty il
she had accepted in silence whatever
iCnominy attached 10 her incarcera-
ticn at Danville, and thus have kept
crom me world the disclosures since
forced upon it,
The 'hcory advanced by the defense,
had il been sustained, would have put
.hc mantle of charity over Anna Dick
inson, where now the verdict of the
jury n2rcssitates the belief that her
words and deeds of unsisterly feeling
covering the long years of her in
rumerable obligations to the little sis
ter who fairly wOrshlpped her were
the deliberated and responsible prompt
ings of nature for which it is now diff
ficult to feel sympathy.

Unavoidable Risks,

Secretary Long has done the sensi-
BILE thing i'm asking this congress to
undo the fool action of it's predecessor
in limiting the price of government
armor plate to a sum below the cost
of its manufacture. AS the case now
stands, we cannot ada to our navy or
plan any material improvements in
our naval armament until this mud
die is cleared. 1t would take two
years and cost the government so 1000, -
900 TO build a plant Of it's own for the
manufacture Of armor plate, and then
the government would be doing some
ching outside its proper province.
Armor plates at best are an expen-
sive luxury, and it is very probable
that by the time our navy is fully
equipped with them, some engineer will
have evolved plan of naval warfare
against which they would be no de-
fense whatever. But this is one Of the
inevitable risks Of navy building, and
it no more applies to armor plates than
to dozen other features in war-ship
construction that are up-to-date at
present but liable to be behind the
times ere the next war is fought.
Such hazards have to be encountered
In all departments of human activity.
The man or the nation that faces and
masters them is the man or nation
that succeeds.

Why Fair Cuba
Should be Free

Writing in the April Home Magazine,
Congressman Hardy, of Indiana, says:
There can be no question about the justice
of the Cuban revolution. Taxation with
out representation is the Spanish policy
of government in Cuba. At no time has
the native Cuban representation in the
Spanish cortes, a body comprising 43O
members, ever exceeded six, and has sell
dom exceeded three. with a population
of 100000, only 9,3 per cent of the popu-
lation being Spaniards, the right of SUI
frage has been restricted to only So 900
inhabitants of the island, or about per
cent, Of the population.
In 1880 Spain commanded Cuba to fur
nish her $40, 100000 of revenue. In 1893 the
budget was reduced to SIG, 900 900, but only
because the island was unable to meet
greater eXaction. In 1880 the deficit had
reached S2O,0OO0O and all the deficits
since 1873 amount TO 800 100000. with such
management Cuba's debt has increased
from 500, 700 i'm 1868 to $3.50 600, 600 when
the present war broke out i'm 1895, and on
the 3lst of July, 1896, the debt was COM
puted to have reached the fabulous sum
of $3.50, 600, 900, and is to-day much greater
The interest on this debt imposes a bur
den of 1919 on each inhabitant. Not a
dollar of this enormous debt has been
spent III Nubd 10 duNdHCe the WOih OF lIll-
proyement or civilization.
The salaries drawn from Cuba to pay
the Spanish rulers of the island are
shameless and almost incredible in ex-
tortion. The governor-general of Cuba
is given a salary of $4,000 year, besides
a palace in Havana and country house,
servants, coaches and a fund for secret
expenses. The direCtOr-general receives
a salary of $4,000 per annum. The arch
bishop of Santiago and the bishop of
Havana get $4,000 each. The COM
mander-general of the naval station has
$40, 1893 a year. The general who is sec
ond in command upon the island and the
president of the "Audiencia" receive Sl5,-
900 each; the governor of Havana and the
secretary of the general government,
$1,000. The major-general gets $3.50;
brigadier-general, $500; the captains OF
the largest men-of-war receive $1,000; the
captains of frigates, $3.50; the govern
ment clerks Of the first class obtain
$1,000 each, and those OF the second class
$4,000 each. All of these public function
aries receive, In addition to their salaries,
free lodgings and domestic service paid
by the state.
Under these officials is a multitude Of
minor employees, all munihcently proviI-
ed for. Employment by the Spanish gov
ernmnt in Cuba is far more lucrative than
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-04-12
Premature Rejoicing.

The Spanish organs in Havana which
express such qualification at the
promptness with which the new admin
istration in this country moved toward
a strict enforcement of the neutrality
laws may perhaps be on wrong scent.
1t is the administrations duty to en-
force the law; but such a performance
of sworn duty may be very far from
sympathy with Spain or from a purpose
long 10 sit patient while Cuba is raw
aged and American property destroyed.
II is because the great majority of
American citizens put so much confid-
ence in President McKinley's good
judgment that they do not now make
the same demand upon congress fol ac-
tien in Cuba's interest that was made

Tax Reform.

A bill has passed first reading at
Harrisburg to exempt all real estate
from taXation to the amount of the
mortgages, judgments and liens of rec
ord against it. Real estate assessors
are required, after making their as
sessments of real estate, to deduct the
amount of all judgments, mortgages
and liens of record from such assessed
valuation, and the owner of such real
estate shall be liable to taxation only
for the difference between the assessed
value and all such judgments, mort
cages and liens of record.
1t is provided that mo deduction
shall be made from such assessed value
until the owner, in writina, under
oath or affirmation, shall state that the
said judgments, mortgages and liens
of record are bona fide and are owned
by him, and that such oath or aflrma-
tiOn must be made on or before the
day Of appeal, ANY person guilty of
wilful and corrupt false swearing or
affirming in taking an oath or affirma-
tion required by this act shall be guilty
VI perjury anu puIlSudDle dCNOIulHS-
ly."
This is substantially the same law
that is now on the statute books of
Michigan. It's belief is that the poor
man who has a mortgage on his home
should pay taxes only on such part of
that home as he has paid for. In
Michigan the law goes a step further
and says that the owner of the mort
gage must pay taxes on the remain
| der. Opposition to such legislation is
to be expected from the money-loan-
ing classes, but when we consider how
much more likely the rich man is to
escape from paying his just proper
tion of tax and how prone the asses
sors are to sock unfair burdens on
the man who owns only a little prop
erty, the seeming inequality of the
! proposed statute very largely disap-
| pears. Tax reform will eventually take
| this or a similar direction. 1t is the
| countrys only escape from socialism.

before Mr.. Cleveland vacated the white
house. Their sympathies with the Gu
ban insurgents are just as keen as ever.
Their detestation of Spanish principles
and methods Is just as strong as ever.
Their belief in the moral duty of this
republic TO extend to people struggling
to free themselves such aid as is within
its treaty obligations and its honor is
just as firmly fixed now as IL was at
any earlier moment during this unfor-
tunate controversy. But there is also
the feeling in many quarters that these
considerations enter fully into the new
executives policy, and that he can best
attain satisfactory results when af-
forded due time to develop his own
plans
1t is doubtless this feeling which for
the time checks aggressive action in
congress. We believe that 1t would
work no injury to any policy of the
executive if congress were to pass the
pending belligerency resolution. That
act in our opinion now seems necessary.
But If enacted it should be with the
presidents approval, so that our for
eign policy may be supported vigorous
ly and consistently all along the line.
The method is not so important as the
result Cuba must have fair treatment
from the United States.

Pennsylvania Monument to Wash.
ington.

At an anniversary meeting of the
Pennsylvania society of the Cincinnati,
held in the state house in the city OF
Philadelphia, on Thursday, July 4, 1911,
the following resolution was unani-
mously adopted
Resolved, That a committee of this So
ciety be appointed to prepare a plan for
raising by subscription such a sum of
money as they shall deem sufficient for
tho purpose of erecting a monument to
the memory of the late Father of his
Country General George Washington.
A committee of five was appointed
and soon afterward 1t issued an appeal
for contributions. In those days money
