THE REAL ISSUE.
ON the Now York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The excitement waiting for the report
upon the Maine calls for a statement OF
the two ideas which are at the bottom of
the Cuban question in its bearing upon
the United States.
First the policy of this government to-
ward Cuba does not depend upon the con-
clusion of the court of inquiry as to
whether the Maine was blown up or cx-
ploded-that is to say, whether the cause
of her destruction came from without or
within. The obligation to stop Spanish
barbarity in Cuba and the opportunity TO
deliver Cuba from Spanish transatlantic
domination go hand in hand and continue,
regardless of the fate of our lost battle
ship.
Secondly, the future attitude of this
government toward Cuba does not depend
upon the response of Spain to any dcma I'D
for reparation, which may follow the re-
port that the Maine was blown up, with
or without connivance in Havana. Spain S
submission to every demand of ours can
not alter the situation by the breadth of
hair.
The center of the situation is Cuba.
Cuba, surrounded by the sympathy and
traditions of the United States, by our re-
lations to the Western world and the
Western worlds relation to Europe, is
the guide for our policy toward Spain,
and the cry of Hurry" which comes to
us alike from the heroism and the misery
of Cuba, is echoed by every state Of the
Union.

Christian Science Again.

Considerable criticism has been pro-
voked by the action Of a committee of
the New York legislature in reporting
favorably bill requiring that all regu-
lar practitioners Of medicine in that
state must hereafter be licensed but
making an exception in favor of prac-
titioners of the so-called Christian Sci
ence school. The Philadelphia Record
condemns this action severely and con-
cludes a savage article with these
words: 80 far from the practices of
Christian Science being countenanced,
they should be treated like any other
swndle. 1t is hard for the police power
to deal with such humbug so long as
it does not cause scandal, and when its
victims do not complain; but while
modern society does not condemn
witches to death, there is still law
enough in every enlightened commun-
ity to punish fraud in any form in
which it may be practiced."
We recognize the unfairness Of COM
pelling one class of healers to go to
considerable pains to procure licenses
to practice their profession while an
other class. in a certain sense COM
peting with the former, are permitted
to practice Internationally. The law
should not respect either persons, fads
or schools. If it is worth while to
regulate the practice of healing or
would-be healing at all it should be
regulated without discrimination and
all who decline to submit to such regu-
lations as the general opinion deems
wise and necessary should forthwith be
branded as public enemies and prose-
cuted accordingly.
But there is nothing to be gained in
these premises by losing ones temper.
Burning witches didn't destroy witch
craft nor will the calling of ugly names
prevent the spread of the Christian
Science monomania. The bulk of the
men and women who fancy they can
be cured of long-standing diseases by
virtue of faith alone are unquestion-
ably sincere, and should be given every
reasonable chance to accord to their
peculiar theory a fair trial. If when
that trial has taken place they remain
undeceived, statutory law cannot mend
matters, but appeal must be made to
a merciful Providence.

ropean nations are depending upon the
United States for food supplies TO meet
home deficits. The future will doubt
less bring increased friction between
our government and the governments
of continental Europe We shall need
to widen our preparations for CONNER
clal and naval defense. We shall need
to recognize that we have outgrown our
primitive insularity and awaken to the
enlafging sphere Of our national re-
sponsibiltes. All this may some day
bring us into a conflict with some Of
the Jealous powers OF Europe. but the
contingency Is far removed. Just now
our duty is toward Cuba, and it must
be faced and met in straightforward
Yankee fashion.

Europe's Position.

1t is improbable that there is any
truth in the London Mails assertion
that Russia, France and Germany are
in league to help Spain to keep Cuba.
As a matter of fact the only disinter-
ested European nation which has failed
10 communicate to the president at
Washington an expression of sympathy
with the American attitude on the Gu
ban question is Austria, whose emperor
is closely related to the Spanish queen
regent Austria could not, in view Of
this fact, be expected to remain other
than neutral; indeed, she might be par
doned for throwing her moral influ-
ence" on Spain's side. Whether she
shall do this or not will not be mate
rial.
But If every power in Europe should
side with Spain we do not see that the
United States would be called upon to
recede by 50 much as a hairs breadth
from it's present and prospective posi-
tion. We know we are right. Well
informed Europeans also know that we
are. A combination of Europeans gov
ernments in hostility TO the United
States on this issue would indicate
simply the instructive aversion of roy
al aristocracy to successful democracy
and on that issue, IL 1t must ever be-
come an issue, we might as we'll engage
with them first as last.
1t will, Of course. never be. possible
for European Yankee-haters to effect
such hostile combination on any large
scale, and especially would It be Inn

ENGLAND AND AMERICA.
Editor of The Tribune

EulIOr OF L no lTlDuHe-
Sir: Thanks for the fair, impartial
view you take of Britain's friend
ship for America. You know the
way to court the friendship that should
exist between the two greatest nations.
If we had few more papers devoted to
the interests of the people in place of the
yellow jingo sheets, we would have more
success, our people would be better in
formed and as far as newspapers edu-
cate, be better educated l hope you
will continue to give the same fair,
honest expression to the sentiment
existing between the two Englsh-speak-
ing nations and never cater to the rabble
as was done in an article which l saw the
other day. in which the more ignorant
people were led to believe this was not
an Anglo-SaXon nation, because all the
people of this country were not of pure
English blood. What nstiCn can boast
of having no inhabitants except of some
one race? This argument is too absurd
to even contradict, l, as an Englishman
born, with strong love for America my
country, can say that all honest English
men are friendly to America and proud of
her. Only jngo Englishmen of whom
there are only a few, ever deride our
free institutions and they are encour-
aged to do so by reading some article
like the one referred to. England and
America should have each others SYM
pathy. Yours respectfully,
Edward p. Grove.

to fill the magazines of cur war vessels
once, for Secretary Long last December
asked for an appropriation, which he did
not get, to do this. 1t is literally true
that thus far no expenditure has been
ordered which the experts in the army
and have not for from five to ten years
urged as necessary in profound peace.
During four years of deficits our military
and naval establishment has got into a
disgraceful condition as to supplies. How
badly Off it is the public has no idea.
With prudence and wise provision these
lacks are being made up. and when they
are made up the United States will have
its small army and navy in about the ef-
tiicient condition in which they ought to
be all the time. Fortunately, this prepar-
alton. thorougly carried out, will give the
United States n force large enough to
command peace and meet war-with a
third-class power.
When all is done we shall have. mill
tary and naval, a force on land one
third and at sea one-eighth as large as
England has ready all the time.

The 0ubernatoriaI Battle.

Up to and including the primaries
held on Saturday, 143 of the 362 dele
gates who will comprise the next Re-
publican state convention had been
elected OF this number the support
ers of Mr.. Wanamaker concede that
Senator Quay can influence the votes
of 65, including those who have been
instructed or as good as instructed for
Congressman w. A. Stone for COVER
nor, as follows: Berks, Z; Chester, Z;
Cumberland, 8; jefferson, 8; Lancaster,
70: Philadelphia, 81; Snyder, l, and
Union l.
Mr.. Wanamaker lays claim to 3S un-
contested delegates from Philadelphia
and to the in Blair county who were
instructed for him on Saturday. The
other instructed delegates are divided
as follows Congressman c. w. Stone,
Z, made up of from Cameron, 3 from
Mexican and 3 from Venango; Ex-
Senator Cooper from Delaware; Con-
sressman Arnold, from Clearfleld;
Ex- Congressman Leisenring, 10 from
Luzerne, and Congressman Connell, 2
from Wayne.
If the forces of C. w. Stone be added
to the Wanamaker strength we have
so anti-Quay votes against 65 distinc
lively Quay votes and the remaining 2S
votes scattered, leaving 21S delegates
yet to be elected Had Mr.. Wanamak-
er begun as early as Senator Quay to
lay plans for the capture of delegates
it is possible that the two men would
today stand on a more even footing
1t is certain that the present advant-
age enjoyed by Senator Quay will not
be maintained in equal ratio if the
Wanamaker people continue to make
in the remaining counties the hot fight
which they have so lately begun. That
they are handicapped somewhat by the
peculiar attitude of Mr.. Wanamaker
seems probable. He is making rather
a negative battle with the intention of
| forcing a compromise than an affirma-
tive one for his own personal benefit.
| This, on the other hand. gives to his
| candidacy a sentimental interest which
| it would otherwise lack.
The fight is too young yet to war;
rant the making of predictions. But
1t seems reasonable to assume that If
Senator Quay undertakes to force the
nomination of Colonel w. A. Stone and
if all overtures for a compromise in the
interest of party unity are in the
meantime rejected by him, the June
| convention will be the scene of a fight
so hot that the nomination Of Stone
would not necessarily be equivalent to
his election. 1t is not yet too late to
avert such a disaster, but if it is to be
averted there must be mutual concee-
sion and fair play. The temper of the
necessity.
