The Man for the Place,

1t is not often in these enterprising
the man; but an exception must be
made in the case of Chauncey NJ. De-
pew. He has so frequently declined
proffers of public place that an in
clination exists among many inhuen
tial Republicans to insist upon his Sc
lection for and acceptance of the posi-
tion of ambassador to England.
This position is always one of great
delicacy and responsibility. 1t demands
of its occupants fine and uncommon
gifts. To fill it even passably well is
no small achievement To have it filled
as it should be filed, with nice discre-
ton, amiablity, thorough tact and with
a self-command equal to every duty
and every emergency, is to make the
choicest history.
DIR. Depew is the one American who
could bring to the necessary require
ments of this foremost trust in our for
eign service an ample qualification for
every serious duty, with something else.
He is the one American wo has an ir-
resistible personality. He is a diplo-
mat both born and made. 1t is impos-
sible to conceive of a contingency in
the official relationship of the Ameri-
can embassy with the Court of St.
James in which the interests of Amer
lea would not be intellectually safer in
the hands of DR.. Depew than in those
nf nv of his CDntpD
If it he war; where else could we find
so successful pacficator; if peace,
where else 50 charming an exponent?
The fitness of the suggestion that Pres
ident Mckinley should choose Mr.. De-
pew as our representative at London
grows clearer the longer it is studied.
1t is one of those happy inspirations
which may not be ignored.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-02-02

brought back within the reach of the
poor and hopeful toiler in all our mills,
factories, at all our desks and in all
our homes. In a word, 1t means all the
opposites to what war brings and en-
tails in the long list of broken hearts.
crippled frames, shattered constitu
tions and characters. and long years
of misery and hatred down which no
estimate of loss can be fathomed. a
war announced today between Eng
land and America would shock and
paralyze all trade; the very shadows of
1t in the Venezuela matter postponed
for two years the on-coming era of
prosperity, which eighteen months ago
dawned upon us.
1t does not concern boards of trade?
What pensive mind ever conceived
such a thought! That board of trade
or any other organization which can
successfully shelve.a courteous invita-
tion from the leading member of the
chamber of commerce to express itself
at this time of opportunity, is not to
be envied in the future glory which
awaits the successful establishment of
international arbitration as fixed
fact in human government. 1t may
have had twenty-five years of exist
ence eliminating in self glorihcation,
but it cannot long endure such blot
on its history. 1t will, no doubt, soon
correct it. More than three hundred
organizations of every kind of social,
civic, religious and business nature
memorali2ed the president of the
United States of America and the
queen of Great Britain on the auspic-
ious date of Washington's birth last
year on behalf of this subject and re-
ceived their personal and representa-
tive expression of favorable influence
in return There is not q man, woman
or child in the present or future day of
this republic that is not as deeply in
terested in this matter, whether he
feels it or not, as in any of the sensi-
tive and physical attributes of life
which mean hope or happiness. If our
senators do not listen to the influences
which their constituents have the right
to press upon them, they deny their
representative character and the ma
ture of our institutions. God forbid!

superintendent of insurance, Governor
Black, of New York, has again demon
strated that he has back bone, The

is under political obligations to him
and does not shirll the fulfilling of them.

Grossly Unfair.

I'm other branches of the law"
writes Mr.. Azel f. Hatch, a prominent
member of the Chicago bar, "the per-
petrator of an injury to another
through a mistake is held for the ac-
tual damage resulting from that mis-
take, but he is not fined or punished
by punitive damages without some
affirmative proof of malice or of gross
negligence. In the law of libel, how
ever, if the defamation is of a char
acter tending to cause an injury it is
said to be libelous per Sc and malice
is conclusively presumed without
proof.
IF the plea of justification or of
privilege is not interposed, the verdict
in a libel case must be for the plain
tiff and the jury is at liberty to pun
ish the defendant, in addition to full
compensation for the injury done the
plaintiff by the infliction of such an
amount of punitive damage as they
may see fit TO impose In other words,
the presumption of law that a man is
innocent until proved guilty of a ma
lcious intent is reversed, and the in
nocent publisher of a mistake is pre-
sumed to have a malicious intent
without proof beyond the mere fact of
publication. In addition to the pun
ishment of a verdict for punitive dam
ages, the publisher is also liable to
criminal prosecution and to fine and
imprisonment, If found guilty"
sylvania. Can any fair-minded man
wonder that publishers should wish
such a law to be amended so as to put
them on a footing of equality with
other citizens?

THIS MONTHS MAGAZINES.

The leading feature of the Forum for
February is u paper by Senator David IS.
Hjll on The Future of the Democratic
organization" in which he rips open the
Bryan campaign in the most unsparlng
fashion ever witnessed and predicts that
Democratic restoration can come only by
adherence to the traditional tenets Of
Democracy. "The Present ana Future of
cuba" Is the title of paper of eXceptional
interest and timeliness. 1t is written by
F'ldel G.. Pierra, chairman of the Cuban
press delegation in this country ana 1t
presents facts in such a light as to call
for the immediate abandonment by our
state department of its present overtures
In behalf of Spain. A third paper worthy
of especial recommendation is that in
which Assistant Secretary of State Rock
hill designates evils that need to be rem
edied In our consular service and points
out how the remedies may be applied.
