was Great Britain. These two coun-
tries have been close together through
out the Cuban incident.

According to Mrs. Belva Lockwood,
the war in the Philippines 'is making
more drunkards in week than the
temperance women can save in year;
prostituting more young women than
the Florence Crittenton mission can
save in lifetime; overthrowing all
that the peace people and the Univer-
sal Alliance of Women for Peace are
doing for harmony, education, culture,
and progress in the arts and sciences;
until 1t begins to look as though the
Woman's National Suffrage association
would need to come in and assume the
reins of government to prevent our
lawmakers from going wild on expan-
sion, imperialism and the accumulation
of new territory" Isn't it sad?

Washington, May 20.-The subject of
the concentration of the inhabitants in
the Philippines into camps was a lead
ing topic of the discussion of the Phil
ippine bill in the senate today. Mr.,
Bacon (Georgia) attacked the policy of
concentration, likening it to reconcen-
trado camps established by General
Weyler in Cuba.
Mr.. Foraker (Ohio) defended the ac-
ton of the military authorities in es-
tablshing the camps in the Philippines
as wise and proper and as u means of
protecting friendly Filipinos from as
sassination at the hands of rowing
bands Of insurgents. He read a de-
scrption Of the camps to show that

ing the concentration camps and point
ing out the difficulty in getting army
officers to testify regarding the situa-
ton. ~
The days debate was closed by Mr..
Clapp, OF Minnesota, in an eloquent
speech. in which he urged that the
Filipinos ought to be taught to admire
and respect the United States as a ma

and progress and never had broken it's

For 4 third time within week, the
house has instructed it's conferees on

in controversy. The motion to instruct

SCRANTON, MAY 81, 1902.

ma
The Sanctity of Contracts.

TT NIGHT lust as we'll be recog-
niZed first as last that the an
n thracite miners will make a seri-
GUS mistake if they urge their
soft coal brethren to break their writ
zen contracts in order to join in a SYM
pathy strike. There is no principle more
deeply rooted in business life than the
sanctity of contracts. 1t is at the foun-
dation of all credits; virtually at the
base of all honorable dealings between
man and man. The labor organization
which should set the example of disre-
garding at it's pleasure u contract that,
If broken by the other side, could be
made the basis of a successful suit in
damages would as certainly destroy it
self as if it should draw razor across
its throat.
There is some talk now In favor Of
arbitration. Yet if a contract with the
miners union is something which can
be set aside at the will of the union
regardless Of the rights or equity of
the other party to it. what assurance is
there that the finding OF an arbitraI
tribunal would have any binding force?
We repeat that the very worst blow
which the organized labor movement
could receive would be to establish be-
fore the world the character of con-
:ract breaker. That was what killed
he last strike of the Amalgamated As
socation. An agreement was entered
into between the Association officials
and Pierpont Morgan, and later this
agreement was coolly repudiated by the
Association as a body Morgan was a
responsible factor. Had he broken faith
he could have been sued, and a verdict
obtained against him, or against any
corporation for which he was author
lied to act, would have been financially
as good as a government bond. But
President Shaffer of the Amalgamated
Association had no such responsibility.
His signature to a contract, whatever
its good faith so far as he personally
was concerned-and this Is not uues-
tioned-had behind it absolutely no
guaranty of fulflment by those for
whom he was nominally but not legally
acting. 1t was as a rope of sand, to
be broken under the first strain.
At the time of Shaffer's humiliation
John Mitchell made a public declar-
alton which gained for him the APP
plause and respect of men in all parts
of the country. He declared without
qualification in favor of the sanctity
of contracts and intimated that organ
lied labor had no other honorable
pathway than to observe it's contract
agreements in scrupulous good faith.
We believe that this is his thought and
fixed belief today. 1t certainly must
be the guiding principle if labor organ
izations are to command public respect
and retain public sympathy and APP
proVal.

Quay's scalp-has not Quay said that
his political race was run ?--nor do they
have In mind any measures OF retalia-
ton for what Quay has done to Elkin.
They simply propose to let the Repub-
lican people of Pennsylvania pass upon
the proposition that Colonel Quay can
usurp the functions of ~ state conven-
tlon and stifle party preference at will.
They have a clear right to make this
appeal and they are making 1t not

the verdict until such time as the JUS
tice of their cause shall win clearer
recognition. If successful they will bear
no malice.
Consequently, on with the battle and

AS in this country, the president is

many Latin American republics have

nothing to do.
The legislative power is vested in a
congress of twenty-four senators-four
from each province--and q house of
representatives. composed OF one menu
Der for every $4,000 or fraction of more
than $4,000 inhabitants. The senators
are elected for eight years, one-half re-
tiring every four years; and the repre-
sentatives serve for four years, one half
retiring every two years. There is no
discrimination in pay and any inhabi-
tant in any part of the island who is
otherwise qualified may represent any
district. Congress is to meet twice a
year, each session to be not less than
forty days long. Revenue bills may
originate in either house.
There are many other features OF the
Cuban constitution of interest to stu
dents of civil government but unayail-
able for mention here. AS n paper con-
stitution it presents some admirable
and few dangerous points; but. after
all, the real proof of a constitution is
in the manner in which the people
apply it, That is the uncertain factor
in the Cuban problem.

THE PRESIDENTS DEPARTURE.
Has Left Washington to Be Gone Two
Two Weeks.

President Roosevelt left Washington last
night. to be absent nearly two weeks. He
was accompanied by Secretary Cortelyou
and his physician, DR.. George A. Lung of
the navy. There also were a corps of SER
wants and secret service officials with the
party. The party left Washington on a
special train, via the Pennsylvania railroad,
at 1910 o'clock. The train was made up of
the private car Mayfower, the compart-
ment car Ferdinand and the combined
smoker and baggage car Sylvanus The
President went down to the train about
half-past 10 o'clock, and spent considera BILE
Of the time until the train left reading and
chatting with friends.
Among President Roosevelt's callers yes
terday was Senator Spooner OF Wisconsin,
who had some business before the depart
ments which called him to Washington
The Wisconsin senator said his visit to
the President had no political significance
He also talked with Mr. Roosevelt on some
features connected with the coming mes
sage to Congress.
Secretary Wilson and Senator Orville H
Plat of Connecticut, who have arrived in
Washington, spent some time at the White
House last night with the President prior
to his departure for New York. In the
course of brief comment on current events
Senator Platt observed that the talk of
tariff revision seemed to him like effort
at reviving the free trade propaganda. 1t
was not republican doctrine, he said and
he did not think it would meet the ap-
prevail of the American people.

THE REQUEST GRANTED.
Surface Mixture for Streets to Be
Paved With Asphalt,


The District Commissioners have decided
to grant the request of the Barber Asphalt
Company, which has the local paving con-
tract, for permission to use in the surface
mixture for two streets to be paved here
in the immediate future, in lieu of wash
ed Trinidad asphalt, as required by the
specifications, the ordinary Trinidad lake
asphalt cement, the contractor to apply to
the surface of the concrete a waterproof
course OF Bermudez asphalt paint.
This proposition is made" the company
stated because of the fact that the wash
ing of Trinidad asphalt is a patented pro-
cess and has not been proved to be prac-
teal, and because the company believes
that the process is not of any value since
in an extended experience of many years.
especially in New Orleans, Bermudez
phalt which is not acted upon by water
in the laboratory, where it is entirely i'm
mersed, disintegrates as rapidly as Trini-
dad or other asphalts on the street when
exposed alternately to a wet and dry en-
vironment."
In reply to this Colonel Biddle, the En-
gineer Commissioner, has written:
Having reference to your letter of No
vember as to the paving to be done here
this fall, in which you suggest the use Of
waterproof coating Of Bermudez as
phalt paint and the ordinary Trinidad lake
asphalt cement, the Commissioners direct
me to state that this will be satisfactory.
IF you apply to the surface of the con-
crete waterproof course OF Bermudsz as
phalt paint in a manner satisfactory to
the office, 1t will be accepted, as the Of
flee desires to see the result Of the expert
ment in that line. This action should not
be understood. however, as releasing you
from laying a pavement strictly in accord
ance with the specifications in the spring"

The new East river bridge, in process of
construction between New York and

at least half million dollars last night by
a fire that for hours ragged 355 feet in the
air, on the summit of the great steel tower
on the New York side. Two men who were
at work on top of the tower when the fire
broke out fell into the river and persisted
Owing to the enormous height Of the
tower it was impossible to reach the fire

and the flames, after devouring all the
woodwork on the top of the tower, seized
on the timber false work of the two foot
bridges suspended from the main cables,

scores of the lighter cables and guys which
trailed In the water. rendering 1t necessary
for the police to stop all traffic up and down

NEW SUPERINTENDENT
MIR. JOHN c. KALLEEN AT HEAD
OF REFORM SCHOOL.
Selected by Board Of Trustees at Re-
cent Meeting-Succeeds Late
Col. Shallenberger.

At special meeting Of the board of trus-
tees Of the District Reform School. held
Saturday, Mr.. John c. Kalleen, a resident
OF Tennessee. was appointed to be super
intendent of that institution, the Office hav-
ing been made vacant by the death of Col.
George A. Shalenberger July last. The
board had the names Of several men before
1t for consideration, and as Mr.. Kalleen
was, in the opinion of the members of the
board best fitted for the office he was ap-
pointed.
Mr. kalleen was at once informed Of his
selection, and telegram was received from
him this morning stating that he would &C.
cept the appointment and would enter upon
the duties Of the Office as soon as the board
OF trustees Of the Hamilton County Indus
trial School, located near Chattanooga,
Tenn, of which institution he is superin-
tendent, can secure some person to take
his place.
Mr.. Kalleen is a man in the prime Of life
with q large experience in reformatory
work. He was employed at the Illinois
state reformatory at Pontiac, but left there
to accept position at the Cincinnati House
of Refuge.
Leaving that institution, he became as
sistant superintendent and bookkeeper Of
the Tennessee Industrial School at Nash
vile. When the Hamilton County Indus
trial School was established several years
ago Mr.. Kalleen was appointed to the
superint endency. which office he has held
since. When he enters upon his new duties
here he will find the local reform school to
be in excellent condition, 1t being the great
desire of his predecessor and his associates
to make OF the school one Of highest stand
ard
Col. Shallenberger, who after leaving the
army, devoted his life to reformatory work
gave many Of his years to the school here,
and lived to see it expand from very modest
10 lin
ped, first-class institution. While the pol
Icy and methods of the school are shaped
by the board Of trustees, yet in the carrying
out of these and the management and gem
eral running and discipline much depends
upon the superintendent and his associates.
The trustees are of the opinion that in Mr..
Kalleen they have found fitting successor
