The Political Perspective.

OF the 362 delegates who will sit in
the next state convention 219 have been
elected Friends of Colonel William A.
less than a majority Of the convention.
Thus it appears that the Allegheny
county candidate needs to win of the
delegates vet to be elected less than
one in three in order to attain his end
at Harrisburg on June 9. These, it
should he understood, are the figures
given out by his managers and pre-
sumably in them he has not suffered
the worst of any doubt. But there is
no possible figuring which does not
show him in the lead and fighting des-
perately. Can he keep up the pace?
VIII conditions two months hence be
such as to render the nomination of so
pronounced factionist expedent?
If we are to have war or if the pres
ent uncertainty shall yet be pending on
the first Of June the probabilities Of
the nomination of Colonel Stone will
doubtless he increased. Such a state
Of the public mind would make il diff
men, great or small in influence and
numbers, to consummate a successful
factional revolt The man with the
biggest regular party backing would go
through with a whoop and the great
mass of citizens would think of other
things. The same contingency would
operate to simplify matters in the No
vember election, assuming that people
and president yet stood then in fun ac-
cord facing a foreign foe. It is oper-
ating now in favor of Colonel Stone
simply because he had his plans laid
for the capture of delegates long in adj
vance and the distraction of the public
mind away from subjects of factional
thought and contention leaves his fol-
lowers free to bag the game. The fail
ure of Mr.. Wanamaker's canvass 10
materialize in practical results is due
In large measure to the same disturbed
condition Of International affairs and
TO his late entry into the gubernatorial
field, But is war likely to come or "a
last? May not all these clouds soon
roll by?
We have passed in hasty review these
few features of the situation chiefly to
show that the outlook in a political
sense is decidedly foggy Politics is
uncertain enough at best; but when to
its intrinsic complexity are added the
dynamic possibilities Of roaring wal
scare the sum is sufficiently formidable
TO Justify the meek and lowly prophet
in curtailing predictions and awaiting
developments.

The l1essage Withheld.

The public need not place any more
CredanCc than it sees fiji i'm the eXpla-
nation that the expected message was
withheld at the last minute because
of the receipt of dispatch from Com
sui General Lee asserting the impos-
siblity of getting American citizens
out Of Cuba before next Sunday. Cen
eral Lee has not been kept in ignor-
aEcc of passing events and if he had
not made full preparation in advance
he would manifestly have been derelct
in his duty.
The better explanation is that the
predicted breakup has begun at Mad
rid. lnasmuch as this is masked be-
hind diplomatic forms and requires to
be effected by degrees, the public must
he content to await the result in ig-
norance Of the full details. Spain's
decision is wise, and if it shall go to
the limit of our demand and eXpecta-
tion the door of escape, once closed Ivy
us, can be re-opened. But the effect
of her past trfling in eXasperating
American opinion makes intolerable
further quibbling. A large majority
of our citizens firmly believe that ere
this the guns of our warships should
have expedited the celerity of Spain's
lcave-taking in Cuba.
Then there is the Maine. No basis
OF re-established peace will be ac-
Cepted by the American congress or
people which leaves its fate and the
fate of its brave sailors in the back
ground for Spain's convenience and Sc
Cret glee.
Lord God of hosts, be with us yet.
Lest we forget; lest we forget!

Americas Financial Strength.

At no time since the war, with the
exception Of the years 1SS5-9O, has the
United States treasury been SO well
prepared for a severe strain as at
present. With "a stock OF gold amount
ing to $l75, 900, we have $4,000 900
above the traditional reserve main
tanned for the redemption OF the Unit
ed States notes and the notes OF 1890.
on July l, 1861. the treasury had but
S2,S62,OOO in gold and scarcely any
other kind of money. Today our cash
balance of $226,OOO,OOO is n per cent.
gold. The banks throughout the coun-
try have observed a policy since the
Maine disaster which has made them
financially strong, and in every re-
spect the nation seems well equipped
for a great strain sGch as war would
entail

TIE FUNCTION or WAR.

From an Interview with w. j. Bryan.
War is a terrible thing, and cannot be
defended except as a means to AN end
and yet ii is sometimes the only means
by which a necessary end can be secured
The state punshes its own citizens by
imprisonment or even death when coun-
sci and persuasion fail. War Is the final
arbiter between nations when reason and
diplomacy are of no avail.

THE MAN FOR GOVERNOR.



The candidacy of Hon. William Connell
of this city, for governor of Pennsyl-
vania, was put forward yesterday with
fitting earnestness by the Republicans Of
the Second legislative district of Scran-
ton In convention assembled The two
delegates chosen TO represent the district
in the Republican state convention were
instructed ito use their best endeaVor
and all honorable and proper means" to
secure Mr.. Connelrs nomination, and res
Clutions were unanimously adopted voic-
ing his eminent fitness for the exalted
office of the states chief executive.
o
There is usually a wide margin of al
lowance on convention eulogy, but the
clean-cut resolutions in which Mr.. Con-
nclrs admirable qualities were eptomized
at yesterdays convention admit of no
discount. As man and citizen and repre-
sentative, he Is all that he is here repre-
sented to be, and the Republican party
could give the people of the state no bet
ter proof of its right to win in the next
campaign than by making him its stand
ard bearer for governor.
The city of Scranton takes "A special
interest in Mr.. Connelrs candidacy. II
has been the scene of his active and sue
cessful business career Here he has pro-
gressed from a laborer to an extensive
employer of labor. He is no absentee,
living at a distance and content to en-
joy the profits of his investments amid
scenes of social splendor as so many 9TH
cr men of wealth do; but he has made
this city his home, familiarizing himself
with the needs of its people and keeping
in touch with its requirements and its
advancement He has shown himself cs-
sentially man of the people and it takes
just such man to he a good governor.
o.
Mr.. Connell possesses executive ability
of high order and all the other qualities
essential to the distinguished Office for
which he has been named His sterling
merits commend him In a special manner
at a time like this when the spirit of
faction is abroad in the state He is
not factionist, but an earnest believer
in all that is best in his party for the
promotion of the public good The Re.
publcanlsm of Lincoln is Mr.. COnnell's
Republicanism, and the party could not
do better thing than make him Its
standard-bearer in this year of grace
The city of Scranton would take a spc,
cial pride in Mr.. Connelrs election. and
the commonwealth would have in hin
a governor worthy OF its best traditions.

conference this week, after hearings "A
report recommending a reduction in
the price of the Advocate, he emphat-

ready for directions. If every presid.
ing elder voted to have the price low

less to state that in the subsequent pro-
ceedings the price of the Christian Ad-
vocate was not reduced.

Meanwhile negro slaves. the trade In
whom was made free. were poured into
the island by the thousands. Early In
the last century there were nearly 1OO-
900 negro slaves in Cuba. And for twen-
ty-five years the importation continued
with a steady flow. Now, In Cuba there
was mscegenaton. The Kafflrs and the
other negroes were improved by the mix
ture with Mediterranese blood. When
they became free-in a narrow way-they
longed for more liberty. The anti-Span-
ish tradition began to take substance
and form 1t waxed with the growth of
liberty all about 1t through the range of
North and South America. The Cuban
half-breed sucked the milk of hatred and
liberty from the breasts of his duskv
mother, and in his fathers fierce eve he
saw liberty and revenge in the future
The holy cause won, by very strength of
sympathy, re-enforced by Spanish cruel
ty, blood and life. The tradition was
relentless. Death or liberty was the cry
nearly one hundred years ago

the island languished for more than a
century, owing to Spanish laws forbid
ding anyone but Christians TO settle IN
Cuba under pain of death.
There have been revolution and dis
content and love of liberty in the very
air and breath Of Cuba from the hrst.
The finality of Spanish rule has never
been accepted there except by the help
less Indians and they died. The hrst
revolution began in 17l7, and that revo-
lution kept Spain busy for a century. II
was not quelled dts spirit was never
crushed) until the beginning OF the pres
ent century. In 1923 another revolution
broke out within the first. In that re-
volt Guazo, the captain general, hanged
men and starved them and garroted them
and stabbed them in the back as Weyler
has done in these days. This proves that
Spain has not advanced an inch in civil
ization for centuries. Give her untram-
meled power and she seems to be as
heartless. as cruel. as dead 20 sympathy
as the Papuan.

Austria is really in need of sympa-

the United States and Spain. Repub-
lies are growing to be so fashionable
that royal families in countries like
Austria having a large number Of rel

experience some difficulty in finding
thrones enough to go round. With
Spain out of business as a monarchy,
the problem would offer additional

In the year 1SiS the United States of
America turned her eyes toward Cuba.
The half-broed. the Spansh-Cuban and
the naturalized islander saw in that
glance the light of an undying hope.

such an emergency additional funds
would be needed. For this purpose 1t
has been proposed to add tax of 81
per barrel on beer. The result is that
brewers in all parts Of the country
have unfortunately besought the de-
partment for extra stamps, hoping to
thus secure a supply in advance Of the
possible increase of tax. In all cases
these requests have been refused, and
if such u bill is passed it will provide
that the additional tax will accrue on
beer to be stamped on and after the
act shall go into effect. Revenue to be
thus derived would amount to $35,0O0,-
