LITERARY NOTES.

-Four Centuries of Spanish Rule in
Cuba" by ItalO Emilio Canini, is the title
of a new book that ought to prove Of per-
manont interest. In his Introduction the
author says; This is an inquiry into
the causes which have determined the
present state of affairs and the reasons
for which Spain, once the dominant pow
er i'm the new world, has gradually lost
all her possessions and has declined from
her position i'm the front rank of nations,
where the genius of Columbus had placed
her, until now the Pearl of the Antilles
one of the few last gems in her crown
and the most beautiful, is on the eve of
being wrenChed from her" The book
contains some forty illustrations from au-
thentiC sources, among these being pOr-
traits of famous Cubans pictures showing
the burning of men al the stake, the ter
riblc "garrOte." Havana in the sixteenth
century, Cuban forts, Spanish guorlllas
| firing, scenes at executions, the dcstruC-
| tion of the Maine, etc. Laird & Lee

A Triumph of Democracy.

Foreign commentators say the Ameri-
can announcement of an intention
to send a squadron into Spanish home
waters is a bluff. They reach this con-
clusion by arguing that if we had
really intended to execute such a pur-
pose we would not have taken the
whole world into our confidence in ad-
vance.
The conclusion is non sequitur. No
necessity for secrecy exists. Though
Spain were put in possession of our
detailed plans she could not possibly
thwart their execution save by sur
render Her capacity is a known guam
tity. The limits of her power of re-
sistance are fully understood by our
authorities. They are taking no step
in the dark but on the contrary have
made known their purpose deliberately,
as a humanitarian warning. BY this
means, Spain will invite the Conse-
quences if she does not Immediately
yield and end a war in which her de-
feat was inevitable from the begin
ming.
There is no vindictiveness in this
proposed attack upon the Iberian
peninsula. 1t is a necessity of the situ-
alton. Spains rulers not having must
cred the courage to undeceive the illit-
crate masses of the Spanish people,
whom they have long been deluding
with the most abominable falsehoods,
we must do this for them. 1t is as
necessary for Spain as for us. 1t is a
surgical operation which may pain
while it lasts but which is the only
possible way to the patients ultimate
recovery. In making it we shall not
only hasten the end of the war and
save TO ourselves great expenditure of
life and treasure but we shall also let
wholesome daylight into SPANS own
administrative foulness and start a
revolution on Il'erian soil which will
not end until there shall have been
erected on the ruins Of medieval
superstition and sixteenth century
ignorance sadder but a wiser and
a better Spain,
Europe will not interfere with this
crusade of civilization. She could not

could, The world is about to see

An Excellent Opportunity.

The recruiting which Captain Eli
colt of the First Volunteer Engineers
began yesterday in Scranton merits
more than passing notice. Membership
in this regiment is highly honorary to
the volunteer who attains it. The en-
gineering corps is the army's scientific
auxiliary which has not only to fight
when necessary but also to do the
skilled work in construction and de-
struction without which the braVest
and largest army would be helpless.
The need of this class of skilled labor
in connection with the present or pros
pective land operations in our war
with Spain is so great that those who
pass the muster are reasonably sure to
see active service Immediately.
The work of the average soldier will
end in this war when Spain surren-
ders. The best work of the engineer
will then only just begin. In Cuba.
Porto Rico and the Philippines, but in
Cuba more especially, the capitula-
tiOn of the enemy will bring with it
the gravest problems of reconstruction.
Not only will stable governments have
to be established but there must also
be a thorough overhauling of the whole
system of internal improvements or
lack of improvements. Cuba a waste
place, must be converted into Cuba
civilized and fitted to develop the mar
NelOus resources with which nature
has endowed her. At last the fpunda-
tiOns of this work will have 10 Uc laid
by the American government, opcrat-
ig through it's army engineers. 70
participate ~ such labor will con-
stitute not only an honorable but also
in all liability a profitable career.
Such a career is opened to the skilled
workmen of this vicinity by the Op-
portunity now offered for enlistment
in the Volunteer Engineers. Able
bodied men are wanted who are pro-
ticient in some one of the various
trades and who are willing to sell
their skill to the government at a fair
price.
Scranton thus far has in its offer
ings of men for the service sustained
an enviable reputation for practical
patriotism We have no fear that this
reputation will be lowered

Foolish Punctiliousness.

1t is said that the vice president Of
the Cuban republic, senor Carote, who
is now in New York, declines to visit
President Mckinley until he can be as
sured Of n reception in his official Capa-
city. This punctiliousness is charac-
teristic of the Latin race but it is eX-
ceedingly foolish. Capotc ought to be
above such small scruples, which tend
simply 10 prejudice his cause in Ameri-
can eyes. In view Of what the United
States has done and is about to do for
Cuba there ought to be no raising by
Cubans OF little points of etiquette or
vanity. The tendency to do so is racial
but by broad minded Cubans it should
be resisted. General Garcia mas set the
right example. He told Miles that the
expression of wish by the American
commander would be accepted by Gar
cia's army as equivalent to a COM
mand, That frank recognition Of the
obvious proprieties of the situation did
more for Cuba libre than all the pout-
ing and skulkng of the fastidious dress
parade Cubans can do in a thousand
years. The great body Of Americans
don't understand the curious kinks in
the Latin character sufficiently we'll to
make proper allowances; they Judge
by Anglo Saxon standards and imme-
diately condemn. 1t therefore be-
hCoves Cubans of intelligence as well
to try to comprehend the Anglo-Saxon

Rewards for Bravery .

The president in his message has rec
commended rewards for Naval-Con-
structor Hobson of the Merrimac, Lieu
tenant Newcomb and his crew, Cap
tain Hodgedon and Cadet Powell. No
rewards which NAV be made to these
heroes can repay their valor. Rewards
are a recognition of bravery, and
should be proportionate to the peril
and courage exercised in securing
them. There is very often a difficulty
in fitting the reward TO the deed; the
title to the fame. When the distinc-
tion is purely honorary one, as in
Conterring a decoration, no injustice
can be done TO men whose bravery is
unquestioned, and who only lack the
opportunity to display it. BY appoint
ing young man whom fortune and
a happy coincidence of circumstances
placed in a position TO command the
recognition not only Of his own coun-
trymen but Of the world by a deed of
daring never excelled and rarely
equalled, to a position in the navy to
which there were $50 prior claims
would look something like an inius-
tice. No reward or promotion which
Hobson can or will receive is altogether
worthy of his character and his pluck
Failing short of that. We hope what
ever promotion is in store for him will
be commensurate to both without in
terfering with the legitimate aspra-
tions and service grade of his seniors
in the navy. Hohson himself would,
We feel confident, had he any oppor-

Civilization has developed no better
corrective of business ills than open
and honorable competition. The ex-
preston "a free field and no favors"
embodies the best ideal Of healthy
business enterprise An intolerable
situation is presented when men who
have put their money and thought and
toll into a legitimate industry are
robbed Of their Just reward, not by
open defeat in the commercial battle
field, but by artificial discrimination
and adverse conspiracy.
The anthracite coal trade offers at
this time a sad example of such a situ-
alton. Natural changes in the bust
ness of fuel production have influenced
ii through the law of competition until
it may he that its natural market has
gradually been diminished, although
this belief is founded on conjecture
rather than on evidence. But the one
clear fact not open to dispute is that
there has in late years been an arti-
ficial impediment to its growth put in
its way unfairly and operating to
'll lllIc II III NlOldllOn OF every known
principle of equity When the same
roads that charge II mills per ton of
anthracite freight per mile haul COM
pettve fue! for mills into the same
territory and thus force an unequal
competition in which anthracite is
handicapped from the start, a discrim-
ination is practiced against those con-
cerned in the anthracite trade which
necessitates protest and remedy.
1t is possible to reach and cure this
gross unfairness by a very simple pro-
cess. Since the existing railroads will
not name an equitable rate for an
thracite freight and cannot be per-
suaded to do so, let the men who mine
anthracite make arrangements also to
ship it over railroad of their own.
This is an experiment which admits Of
no doubt The cost of railroad build
ing, the amount of tonnage available
and the expense of operating the road
are points which can be accurately
estimated in advance. Competition will
bring the other carriers to time.
