From the Syracuse STANDARD.
Few Americans, few persons in any
civilized country, condemn the art of carl
cature in itself. Within the limits de-
fined by taste and decency, caricatures
are an effective instrument for the i'm
provement of manners, morals politics
arts and letters. besides a legitimate
means of amusement. There is danger OF
injustice in even the moderate use OF
this instrument; still that peril attends
all fun-making. wit and satire. But
coarse and immoderate caricature, like
other kinds of rlbaldry and abuse, should
be forbidden and repressed

Readers of The Tribune can hardly
have failed to notice in the past few
days the marked superiority Of its news
service over that of the New York and
Philadelphia papers circulated here.
On the morning that The Tribune
printed the first report of the disaster
to the Maine the city papers had no
word OF II. Some of our readers evil
IDENTIFY thought that The Tribune was
mistaken, but they failed to take into
account the fact that the city papers
sold here are put to press at midnight
whereas The Tribune never goes to
press before 3 a. M, and on special
occasions can hold its columns open
until an even later hour. This differ
ence in time means nearly every day
a very considerable difference in the
freshness of the news. In these days
a great deal of history is often created
in three hours. The Scrantonian who
thinks that it is necessary to take a
New York paper in order to get the
news makes a mistake. He may thus
get a larger and more varied assort-
ment of words. but of news, real news,
news that is new, he gets less rather
than more than he can get in the lead
ing home paper.

AMERICAN SELF.POlSE.
philadelphia prasS

From the Philadelphia Press.
The self-poise of the American people
has just been illustrated again, as it has
been exemplfed on several occasions
during the past few years, i'm a most
striking manner Events happening on :.
national scale have proved that the ma
ton is building Up for itself a character
which for balance ana equipoise is not in
ferior to that reached by any older peo-
pie, while 1t Is superior to that of many
nations.
One OF these occasions was in July, 1891,
when the great Pullman car strike oc-
CURED in Chicago and at one time it
seemed as If 4 great social uprising were
impending that would sweep away all
government and order. But at a word
OF command from the president the trou-
ble ceased and quiet was restored. AS an
Englishmar expressed it: "The flame
was put out by an eXpectoration as it
were, and in day we were back at our
desks and plCws." Another occasion
came when President Cleveland sent his
message TO congress on the Venezuela
controversy. An emphatic expression of
approval came from the people and the
whole nation stood like a mailed knight
tightening his grip on the hilt of his
sword and ready to support the cause of
his country. But there was not a sign OF
civil commotion.
A third illustration OF this euuipoise OF
the American people was given in the
presidential campaign of 1896. Section
appeared to be arraying itself against
section on the currency question. The
debtor states seemed ready to separate
themselves from the creditor states and
form government Of their own. Some
Americans residing abroad were even
deceived by the heat of the contest. and
| an eX-consul general was so indiscreet
as to publish an article in the London
Nineteenth Century predicting a war be-
tween the states on the money question
| But the campaign ended safely and the
election was held quietly, and everybody
| acquiesced in the result. fourth illus
| tration has Just been given of this trait
| Of the American people. The de LONE
| exposure which would have excited some
| other nations to frenzy passed without
the appearance of disorder anywhere in
| the country.
These illustrations of the ability of the
American people to control themselves
| are the most rosssuring signs of the time.
| They prove that the nation is building up
| for itself a strong. well-balanced charac-
ter which will stand 1t in better stead
| in a time of trouble than the material
wealth IL is so rapidly gathering. They
| also prove that the predictions IL not the
| wishes, OF the old monarchlcal countries
| that a free government could not stand
| the strain of great crisis are not likely
| Ia be realized.

DANGER IN DELAY.
From The Now York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
We are getting incidentally now and
then an illustration of what the suddn
outbreak of war might mean to the great
cities OF our coasts in the present Condi-
tion OF harbor defences. These illustra-
tions are not the less instructive because
they are potential rather than actual.
Heaven grant that they may continue to
be potential: but any day In the present
year of the world may make the poten-
tial condition real condition, and sharp
~ and perhaps Unexpectedly VIII the
transition come.
Theorizing as to the immediate results
of invasion by hostile armed vessels, the
damage foreign ships could infiict the
value of such defensive armament as al
ready exists. and the extent of the un-
published resources available to the gov
crnment in an emerEecy, is generally
matter of temperament rather than OF
special prophetic ability. Perhaps we
should get out of the scrape better than
some people think. Possibly We should
astonish our assailant and all the on
lockers i'm case New York, Boston or
San Francisco were attacked by foreign
fleet. Predictions as TO what might hap
pen TO us or to our enemy are worth
just as little as the imaginative maga-
zine articles which narrate the fictitious
events of a supposititious war. The fact
remains that both the authoritative onin-
ion of expert military knowledge and the
ordinary con mon sense of the country
agree as to the imperative need of COM
pleting the American system of coast de-
fence.
O.
The fact remains that il war came to-
| morrow, and it were possible for con-
gress. by appropriatng one hundred mil
! lion dollars for coast defences, to atone
for the delays and hesitations and hag-
glings of the past twelve years and to
| perfect in tweEty-four hours the whole
| system of fertilization, the money would
be voted outright without a single nay.
But one hundred millions would not do
| it. Ten times that sum would not do 1t
under those circumstances. Money can
| not buy back the weeks and months and
years that have been lost.

THE GROWTH OF TEMPERANCE.

From the New York Sun.
A correspondent asks US to tell who
ought to have the credit for bringing
about the great decrease in drunkenness,
VI the consumption of wines and liquors.
in social life in the community The
credit Is due chiefly to the growing re-
fincment and nicer sensibilites of the
community, as manifested also in the
increased sensitiveness Of the pubic to
all suffering, human and brute. Coarse
indulgence OF all kinds offends modern
taste. The speech of society has grown
more refined Swearing Is going out OF
vogue in all its rudcr forms. The rip
ping oaths which interlarded the speech
of gentlemen in former days. and even
within the remembrance of the present
generation, have been discarded as sav1r-
ing OF vulgarity. All exhibitions of vio-
lent temper, with the explosive language,
the objurGations the curses, and the re-
vilngs which accompanied them, have
fallen under reproach as offensive to
good manners, of which the essence is
self-control and nice regard for the sem
Sibilities of other people. Excessive in
dulgcnce in drinking produces results in
tolerable in social intercourse. drunk
ard makes a nuisance of himself in So
ciety. and suffers from its ban accord
ingly.
This more cXacting social refinement
has been powerful influence in further
ing the growth of the temperance which
distinguishes this period. The three
bottle" men of the old days would outrage
the deccnCy of a dinner of the present
time with their swinish indulgence. The
dinners of the past, which used to end
with half the men under the table, would
he impossible now outside of the Viest
circles. Wine is partaken OF sparingly;
and has become "a mere incident of the
feast In all respects the dinner is more
decorOus and less of a mere feeding and
drinking occasion. The time of its con-
| tinuance has been decreased; instead of
a company spending two or three or
| even four hours at the meal, as formerly,
an hour frequently suftices for an elab-
| crate dinner. There is far more moder-
alton in both eating and drinking than
| there used to he. Undoubtedly, also, the
introduction of lager beer as the great
beverage of the people, replacing whisky,
has conduced to the leSsening of druni-
| cnness. Even at the corner liquor sa-
| looms the main drink is light beer, with
| the consequence that the consumption OF
| whisky has fallen off so greatly as to
cause serious embarrassment to the
| whisky distillers, the decrease being par
| ticularly in the higher grades of whisky
| used as beverages.
