VIZ. QnnN's AcuuiftaI.

y jury has acquitted Mr.. Quay of the
charge of cOnspring with others to mis-
use the funds of Pennsylvania for his per
sonal purposes. This ends a prosecution
which forms an important factor in one of
the most sensational episodes in the polit-
ical history OF the country. But it is not to
be believed that the affair will close with
the verdict rendered this morning Already
propositions are advanced for the reassem-
bling of the state legislature to give Mr.
quay one more chance at the senatorship
which his friends believe to be his due in
face of the acquittal. The Star yesterday
noted the suggestion, but at that time there
was no warrant for anticipating the verdict
favoring the defendant. This outcome of
the case leaves the republicans who orig
inally refused to vote for Mr. QUAY and
their later allies who deserted him at the
eleventh hour in an embarrassing position
II an extra session be called they will be
confronted with the alternative of holding
ilrm TO their original conviction that the
candidate is unfit to represent the state in
the Senate. or acknowledge that the verdict
rendered this morning has changed their
estimate of the man. The detection of Mr.
Magee and his followers came so late in the
contest that they particularly enmeshed
III the lntricacles OF the affair, which the
Jury's verdict serves rather to increase
IMAM TO diminish. 1t is to be feared that
the most probable result of the whole case
Will be Il further tendency to factionalisn
IN Pennsylvania politics, for the prosecu-
ton has engendered hatreds which can NOT
be easily healed.

The American ship-BuiIding Industry

Ihere is much satisfaction to be derived
from a report recently received at the
state Department from a consular officer
showing that one of the lately established
lines OF export trade is the shipment IN
English manufacturers of American steel
plates for ship-building. England undoubt-,
eddy leads the world in the making of ships
OF all classes. The total tonnage turned out
year after year from the ship-yards on the
English coast is tremendous But latterIv
the yard-owners have been finding that
they can procure better and cheaDcr steel
plates from this side Of the water than
they can at home. and so a stream of i'm
portation has been opened which has grown
into a steady current. The American ship
builders can, of course use here the plates
which are thus acknowledged To be superior
in quality and lower in price than others
In the market. There Is no question about
the American talent for the building of
staunch. fast vessels. In the line of war
craft this country has more than held its
own during the past half dozen years. The
recent campaign with Spain proved beyond
question the excellence II not the superior
ity Of American methods Of construction.

Good Reports From Cuba.

The Cuban news upon the whole. Is graf
flying and encouraging. General Ludlow $
report about the conditions in Havana.
which appeared in yesterdays Star, shows
considerable progress there In the matter
of preserving order with a native police
force. organized on the American model,
and tOday's dispatches contain tributes
even from Spanish sources to the reforms

models. and making it uniform throughout
the island. the foundations for good and
stable government will be securely laid.
The first point Is order. Policing a city

achievement worthy of praise that in that
time a fine start has been made.
The second point is prompt and honest
execution Of the law. The Spanish frame
work is generally defective. 1t makes for
delays and corruption, and for injustice

An Admirable Example.

From the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.
Mr.. Carnegie has increased his cOntribu-
ton for a public library at Washing ton
D. c., from 500 $50 to $500 go. There is q
value in these additions to the millions of
dollars Mr.. Carnegie has contributed to
similar philanthropies apart from the bene-
fits of the good works to which they are
applied. This value is in the example they
set for other men of wealth. Within the
past few years there has been a notable
increase in the tendency upon the part of
rich men and women not TO leave to the
executors Of their wills the distribution of
their chief phianthr0pies, but to bestow
them during their own lifetime and witness
some of the results. There is no doubt the
course pursued by Mr.. Carnegie has stimu-
lated this tendency. There is credit accord
wrought directly by his own munficent
gifts

An incredible Tale From samoa

The improbable yarn about the arrest of
the comma nder of the German cruiser
Fake by the British naval commander at
Apla on the charge of furnishing arms to
the Mataafans has come long way around.
1t IS said 10 have been carried from ADia
by the inter-island steamer Upolu to Sa-
vail the northermOst island of the Samoan
group. where II picked up by the
steamer AordHg! and brought to Seattle for
distribution There have been many
chances for its growth from incidents al
ready known of quite another character
Sensationalism never grows less in transit
mere Is no reason to believe that the af-
fair occurred. and strong reasons to believe
that it did not occur. The report apparent
ly developed from the arrest of the owner
OF the German plantation on which the
American and British sailors were arnbus-
caded by Mataafa 5 men. and perhaps from
a mixture of this affair with the detention
of the cruiser Fake in the harbor of Apia
when her commander undertook to leave
The British and American naval command
ers and consuls have been acting together
at Apia for the evident purpose of prevent
ing a violation of the Berlin agreement
Their proclamation to the Mataafans was
intended to minimize the chance of blood
shed and to restore the prestige of the chief
justice who was given ultimate jurisdic-
ton by the treaty. 1t is altogether i'm
probable that they would go to such an ex-
IRENE as to precipitate hostiIties with Ger
many after they had established Malietoa
on the throne and driven Mataafa into the
bush, and equally improbable that the Ger
man commander would be so indiscreet as
| to openly furnish the native insurgents
with supplies

An Jnwise Organization
the Louisville Courier-JournuI.

From The louisville COurief-JOurnul.
The COMMUNICATIONS of Chicago an
nounce that they are forming a national
organization with the object of preventing
an Anglo-American alliance. This is a
wholly gratuitouS performance. In the first
place no actual offensive and defensive al
lance between Great Britain and America
is being discussed, and in the second place
it will only be possible in case of quarrel
say with Germany or some other CONT
mental power. In the meantime it will be
well for German-Americans to bear in mind
that any alliance that may be formed will
be formed because in the judgment of the
people of the United States it will be best
for the entire nation and not for any par,
of the population. This being so on,
adaptive citizens will be equally benefited
with others. and should be equally in favor
of such proceeding.

From the New York Times.

FrOm The View 1ork Times.
1t remains only to welcome Mr.. Reed to
New York. His brethren at the bar will
leave him in no doubt about his profess
sional welcome. But such man is also q
social and civic acquisition. Among the
actual leaders of the bar it would not be
very easy to rame one who ranks with him
as a leader OF opinion. And the settlement
of such man in ii adds a real distinction
to a town even of three millions and half
of people in a great majority undistiu-
Guished. and in d very small minority in
deed partaking of his particular distinction.
