WHAT TEE PRESIDENT HAS BONE.

A
 The President is vindic2ted. That
 is the indIsputable and conspicuous
 purport of the days news. From
 amid a storm of calumny and hatred scarcely paralleled in Amer ican history he rises by inherent
 merit into the serene realm of
 established and eternal right. Never
 was a policy more violently and
 viciously assailed than his. Never
 was one more absolutely justified,
 in general and in details, by the Ilncontrovertible logic of events.
 The voice of denunciation, yester-
 day so stridulous, to-day is dumb.
 Opponents have become supporters.
 And the majority of Congress, and
 the great mass of the American people, who have all along trusted
 the President and believed in his
 policy, rejoice in the amplest pos
 sible confirmation of their conf dence.
 For what is of supyemest i'm portance to the Nation to-day is this, that, no matter which way the scale may incline, toward peace. or toward war, the attitude of the United States is justified in the minds of its own people and in the eyes of the impartial world. Al month ago that could not have been said. A week ago that could not have been said. It was true then. as now, that this country was in the right. But the fact had not been made evident to the world, nor even proved to the full satisfaction of all our own people. There was ignorance of the real state of affairs in Cuba. There Was doubt as to the right of this country to inter vene. There was still lingering notion that Autonomy might prove to be the panacea for ali Antillean l ills. Above all. there was the feeling that diplomacy had not yet done its best, that not a'l peaceful ! means oI settlement had been em-. p-oyed, and that therefore anYthing' looking to the last dread alternative of war would be premature and aniostidab'e. Any overt act, or uIumstum, CT decree of iuterven- ton, Oy Uuis Government would have placed the United States on the defensive in the court of the nations, and would have assured to Spain a certain amount of sym pathy. But by the fact and patience of President Mckinley all that has been changed. The cup ofSpanish obstinacy against the r ght is filled The measure of American forbear- ance and conciliation is complete. If war come now, it will be through the perversity of Spain, and Spain will be, from the outset, put on the moral defensive before the world. The material preparation of this country is vastly more complete than it was. The moral advantage Of this country over Spain is simply overwhelming.
 That is the inestimable debt the Nation owes to-day to William Me- kin;ey. NotsonIy has he vindicat- ed the Nation. He has made the whole world see that Spain is in the wrong and that we are in the right, and are acting wei! within both moral and legal right in mak- ! ing the call that has been made upon Spain for a settlement in Cuba. Whatever may come, whether peace pr war, the honor of this Nation is secure. It will be peace with honor i 'r righteous war crowned with { victory and honor. The choice 'ests with Spain. The result to { his Nation. is assured.

In the Right Direction.

The withdrawal of Harvey *. hewitt
as an Independent candidate for re-
ceiver of taxes in Philadelphia is a
step in the right direction, but it is
only step. A number of other steps
will need to be taken by those in con-
trcl of the Republican party orSaniza-
ton in this state IL trouble is TO be
averted in the next ensuing general
election.
The withdrawal of hewitt was a for
nal notice by organization leaders that
they would not themselves sanction an
example in boiling. But the vote for
Dr. Swallow last year showed that
there are many thousand voters in the
commonwealth, ordinarily Republican
in partisan affiliations, who are not so
scrupulous on the score OF party regu-
larity. These men, it is true, did not
bolt their party conventions, but they
did what was quite as dangerous; they
bolted their party's regular nominees
at the polls. They did this notwith-
standing the fact that those nominees
We're fairly nominated and We're per-
sonally worthy if not exceptionally
popular men. They did it because they
were dissatisfied with the way things
had been going at Harrisburg; because
they considered il their moral duty as
citizens to register protest.
We are not now considering whether
this conclusion was wise; we are deal
ing rather with a conditon-a condi-
ton which in the opirlion of many has
not yet ceased to exist. 1t will take
more than q stamp of regularity on the
candidate who shall be nominated June
> to hold these voters in line. The
nominee on that occasion must be
more than regular; he must be clean
He must have convictions and the cour-
age of them; he must show unspotted
credentials and q strength Of character
and Of purpose guaranteeing that if
of no man, class, clique or faction,
but true servant of the people in
whose custody the people will feel that
they can confidently entrust their in
terests.
Such a man can poll the entire Re-
publican and q considerable part OF
tha better element of the Democratic
vote. Any other man, be his label what
1t may, will probably have mighty
rough shedding.

Hawaii and Cuba.

The more sensational developments
recently in Cuba have tended some-
what to subordinate in the public mind
the question of our future relations
with the Hawaiian islands, but the visit
to this country Of President Dole is
llrcly once more to bring it into it's
true importance.
The Cuban problem as it confronts
our government is essentially different
from the Hawaiian problem in its pres
ent well matured aspect. The call for
American intervention in Cuba is only
slightly based on considerations of ma
tiOnal advantage to the American peo-
pie. 1t would. to be sure, be to our
benefit to have Spanish misgovernment
of Cuba replaced by Cuban home rule,
but primarily the Cuban problem is
problem of broad humanity; a question
involving the clementals in society and
government. We have as a nation to
decide whether we can conscientiously
sit still and see many thousands Of
human beings a. our national doorstep
starved and many other thousands re-
duced to hopeless destitution, with a
naturally fertile territory converted in
to a desolation ana a waste. Interven-
tiOn in Cuba will mean only indirectly
and perhaps remotely profit to the
United States. Primarily and essen
TALLY it will mean the discharge OF a
duty enjoined by conscience and good
morals.
The issue presented in the Hawaiian
discussion, on the other hand, is pri-
marily and almost wholly an issue OF
prescent American craftsmanship look
ing to the safeguarding of large Ameri-
can interests and the protection for all
time to come of American prestige and
opportunity in the great area lying
westward Of our present western bor-
der; question of invulnerability
against attack from that quarter in
the event of war. and of an equally
certain guarantee of commercial ad-
vantage and, i'm time, supremacy dur
ing the continuance Of peace. Hawaii
is not TO be despised on its own ac-
count. 1t, like Cuba, is a natural gar
den spot, different from Cuba. in not
having been spoiled by civil war and
possessing climatic and Typographical
features far superior to those of Cuba.
But Hawaiian annexation is urged least
of all because Of Hawaiis intrinsic
value. Although on that score alone a
case exists far surprising that which
led to the. purchase of Alaska, the pre-
ponderating, almost the SOLE reason
for Hawaiian annexation at this time
is that 1t would freely and without seri-
I Gus complications place in indisputable
American ownership and control the
strategic key to the commerce and de-
fence of the North Pacific. a body of
water plainly destined to be the theater

rlore Traction Statistics.

! Considering the good natured rivalry
| existing between the two cities, it may
/ be worth while to compare the recently
! issued annual statements of the Trac-
| tion companies Of Wilkes Barre and
Scranton. We frequently hear COM
PARSONS made as to the quality of the
! service supplied by the two roads; let
us see how the figures contrast.
! The gross receipts of the Wilkes
Barre and Wyoming Valley Traction
company for 1897 We're. emitting cents,
| $491, ,2SS; of the Scranton Railway COM
I pany $366,325; difference in favor of the
latter, Sl2i,965. Operating expenses of
the Wilkes-Ba company were s21S.-
/. SS1; of the Scranton company, $179,974:
difference in favor of the latter, S3S, ,gO7.
Net earnings, Wilkes-B Barre company,
| $272,4O7; Scranton company, S1S6, ,351 ;
difference in favor of the former $780,
O56 Fixed charges, Wilkes-Barre COM
pany, $lI5,lO5; Scranton company, S135, =
10; difference in favor of the latter,
! $39, 995.
| From these figures certain deductions
| are possible. or the Scranton COM
| pany's receipts, II per cent is clear
profit, whereas the percentage of the
! Wilkes-Barre company is not quite u.
So far as this exhibits a difference in
quality of management that difference
is apparently in Scranton's favor, but
in determining this point many fac
| tors have to be considered other than
the single one of the percentage of
profit achieved. In the matter of on
Grating expenses, the Wikes-Barre
/ company returns only "A per cent. of
the money received from the people,
whereas the Scranton company returns
in the form of wages, damages and
payments for supplies, a fraction over
40 per cent. Considering the business
done the fixed charges of the two roads
are about equal, but it must be con-
! fessed that in point of equipment the
! Luzerne county institution is at present
ahead.
We are, however, informed that the
! Scranton Railway company intends in
| the near future to remedy this dis
crepancy by the material Improvement
of its tracks and rolling stock. If this
shall be done, the comparison between
the two cities with respect to street
car service and results will not here
after need to be to Scranton's disfayor.
. AS simple matter of giving Justice
where Justice is due it should be said
! that under its present management the
/ local company has prospered much bet
ter than was apparently to be expected,
I considering the obstacles in the way;
/ and since a prosperous street railway
! corporation is much better for a city
/ than one which is expecting at any mo-
ment a visit from the sheriff, we trust
/ that the tendency may continue in this
! direction, until this city shall have in
! all respects the well equipped and ac-
commodating transit system which it
! deserves,
