Gov. Hastings. of Pennsylvania, in
declining to recommend new subjects
for taxation. took occasion TO read the
profigate Legislature a lecture on econ
omy and on the wisdom in these hard
times Of making both ends meet by
cutting expenditures rather than by in
creasing the burdens of taxation. The
Governor says that he has withheld
approval from all bills increasing sal
aries Of public officers, but intimates
that he will readily sign any bill rea-
so1ably decreasing existing salaries.
The following paragraph will serve to
indicate the tenor OF the Governors
message: When the individual citi-
zen finds it necessary TO exercise the
most rigid economy in order to support
himself and family. it is certainly a
strong admonition to You and to the
Executive to see 70 it that his bur-
dens should not be increased, but, so
far as possible. should be lessened.'
This wise advice is to be commended
70 all legislative bodies national, State
ard municipal. Especially do We COM
mend it TO the present Congress. which
is seeking to improve the times by pill
ing taxes mountain high on the shout
ders Of the people.

lars on the old subscription. Not all
those having subscribed have been seen

subscription will more than equal the
old one.

Common humanity. TO say nothing OF
national honor. demands that SPANS
atr0cious warfare in Cuba be stop
ped. but the administration is using
every pretext for delaying action. How
different its attitude with regard to the
Hawaiian annexation plot. The admin
istration has found time TO take imme-
date and favorable action on the
scheme of the horde Of spectators,
who. for their own gain. want to saddle
these undesirable islands and their
mongrel and mischievous population
on the American government. which
appears. as it is. TO have more on it's
hands than il can take care of. Even
heretofore staunch supporters of the
administration are getting heartily
tired of its cowardly policy Of delay
in the one instance and its indecent
haste to serve The interests Of greedy
SPECTATORS in the other. Even the Re-
publican PiJtsburg Dispatch has this to
say Of the diSgraceful situation: The
Hawaiian annexation scheme is being
pushed forward with all the ardOr of
special interests TO be favored and with
utter disregard for the best interests Of
the country. AT the same time the Just
cause of Cuba 5 being crowded to the
rear. In the one case the country is
urged TO enter upon a policy of terri
tortal acquisition in imitation Of the
European monarchieS. while in the
other the nation is made to dishonor-
ably turn its back 10 an oppressed peo-
pie praying only for the common rights
Of humanity"
Our Republican contemporary points
out that even the administration Of
Cleveland. although it pursued the
same cowardly policy toward Cuba.

CHANCE FOR CHARITY NEARER

HOME.
The American people are being asked
to contribute to the relief of the Thes-
salian refugees, who have been driven
from their homes by the Turks. No
doubt the object of the appeal is wor-
thy. but is it not a sort of travesty on
charity to send supplies across the
ocean to people in danger of starving,
while thousands of men, women and
children are actually starving right at
our doors?
Thessalian refugees are in distress,
but they are free to seek food wherever
they will and to do what work they
can to find bread. The hand of char
ity is not stayed from helping them
The Turks. cruel as they are, do not
pen them up in a Gordon of soldiers
with orders to shoot all who seek food
or try to earn bread. They do not say
to charitable people that they must
withhold aid from the victims of war.
but in Cuba thousands Of helpless
women and children are deliberately
condemned to starvation. They are
penned up by soldiers ordered to in
stantly kill any who attempt to seek
food or to raise supplies from the soil
Charity is forbidden to extend her hand
to the relief of those poor wretches.
To keep human beings from dying is
made a crime. 1t is reported that spies
haunt the United States consulates to
see that not a scrap of the supplies
doled out to American citizens falls
into the hands of starving Cuban wo-
men or children. 1t is reported that
the relief of a single Cuban from the
stores sent to Cuba for citizens of this
country will be made the ground of
diplomatic protest.
1t is to be hoped the protest will be
made and the issue raised. Civiliza-
ton insists that charity be extended to
the dogs of war. Sick and wounded
soldiers are not denied tender care and
food But here is a monster who de-
MES to mercy the privilege of minister
ing to sick and wounded soldiers and
prohibits the exercise of charity to
check the ravages of disease and star
walton among peaceful and helpless wo-
less women and children.
Brutal Weyler has made the issue
against common humanity. 1t would
be a good thing to have this issue en-
phasized by a diplomatic protest. The
Cubans are to a certain degree our
proteges and a Spanish diplomatic pro-
test against charity extended to their
helpless women and children might
Jar the administration into a realizing
sense of the situation and the fact that
we are permitting thousands of them to
be condemned to starvation, while
Charity is held bound and helpless.
