900, which was found on his person
when he was first arrested, and which
is understood to be in the custody of
the war department. 10 be sure It
belonged to the Cuban people and was
stolen from them, but such are the in
scrutable workings of a civil-service-
reform President, that the mantle of
amnesty which the latter has thrown
over the thief will enable him to get
away with his plunder.
We suppose too that Rathbone will
retain the scarlet livery Of his foot.
men and outriders, and his mahogany
furniture and the like which the trial
showed he bought with his plunder
and thus he may come back TO Ohio
and set up for a politician again. A
few more exploits of this kind would
make him eligible for the Senate
His talk about wanting a vindication,
INDUCED in before the amnesty bill
was passed, is very easy. What he
wanted was not again to face an impair
tial court, and that he has. He knows
very well that Congress can institute
no investigation. The incident Is
closed and the criminals have such a
certificate of character as the influence
Of Hanna and Roosevelt can give them.
The crime of which they stand con-
victed was one of peculiar gravity.
Upon every consideration, we owed it
to the people of Cuba, when We took
upon ourselves the administration of
their public service to send to that
work honest servants, or, if they proved
otherwise, to see them swiftly and
certainly punished. We have done
neither. We sent thieves, and when
they were found guilty of the theft, the
whole power of the administration was
put forth to screen them from the con-
sequences of their offense. The result
is that the henious betrayal of public
trust is rewarded rather than punished,
and this by an administration which
poses as the special guardian Of civil
virtue. Well, we have set the Cubans
blessed example Of public morality,
as we have turned them adrft to shirk
for themselves in the civil service line.
We cannot wonder, or blame them, il
they follow it.
There is, however, one thing left for
President Roosevelt to do, and which
lie will do if all his high talk about
purity and morality in pubic affairs is
not a sham and delusion.
An act of amnesty does not have the
effect Of pardon. The persons who
are the subjects of it are not by IL
made innocent of the otfense for which
they We're convicted; they are only re-
iieved from the penal consequences of
their conviction. They are criminals
all the same.
We have a law by which convicts are
not allowed to land upon our shores.
or, II they have landed. that they shall
be deported. The President is charged
with the execution of this law. Under
1t Nicely should not be permitted to
come back and get his bounty of S64,.
eco for robbinS the Cuban post office
and Rathbone should be sent where
he can't help Mark Hanna in future
campaigns for the Senate or some
higher place.
We shah see whether Mr.. President
will perform his constitutional duty.
We don't hesitate to predict that he
will--not.

Were ever fairer mates?

The Strike Continues.

The price Of coal is rapidly adj
vancing in the cities and in Phila-
delphia and New York it is now
from IS to 50 with every prospect of
an increase. The supply is very
limited and with the probability Of
the strike continuing no one can
toresee the end. $4,000 miners
have already departed to seek work
elsewhere and the exodus promises
to be general. The strike if contin-
ued will affect many business inter
ests and entail great loss.
The coal trust, along with the
others should be investigated and
if there is any law applicable TO pre-
vent such combinations which are
really an infringement on public
rights and detriment to public in
terests they should be restrained
and forced to deal not only with
their employees but with consumers
on fair and equitable basis.

A Good Scheme.

The boarding house and hotel
keepers, assisted by the business
men of Stroudsburg and vicinity,
have hit on an excellent plan to
boom Monroe county as summer
resort. A committee has been ap-
pointed which will undertake to ad-
vertise the region and place its de-
STABILITY and attractions before the
city public. Cooperation in this
matter is very beneficial. Make the
beauties and salubrity of a place
known and seekers after summer
recreation and health will be at
tracted and make investigation.
This will lead to inquiry for partic-
ular houses which may suit their
incliuations. The first and great
object is to advertise the locality
generally and if it meets with ap
proval the minor detail of a precise
location for the individual is easy to
satisfy. The plan adopted by the
Monroe county people is we'll calcu-
lated to bring people to its confines
and TO so set forth the general at
fractions of that section that they
will become widely known. Milford
might we'll pursue a similar method.
The cost to the individual proprie-
tor would probably be less and he
would be more thoroughly advertis-
ed than when he attempts to only
make known his own place. The
success of the trusts should teach
would-be summer resort towns to
emulate their example in combining
for the general good. Get 10000
people bent on coming to Milford
for the season and the individual
proprietors need have no fear but
that they will get their full share of
patronage.

woman VOC IN 1args Numbsra.

A wave Of woman's rights struck
this section Of the country recently
with force that surprised the broad
est and most liberal minded polite.
ians. Never in the history Of Cen
tral Illinois were SO many women
seen at the polls and their concerted
action through club organizations
proved more successful than the most
sanguine expected They went into
the school election with a determine
tion to win and not only in Nation
hut in Pana and other club towns
they turned out by hundreds and
carried the day. 1t is a practical
demonstration of what women can
do and their success last Saturday
will give them a stimulus and incen-
tive to go further in the work of
reform, and no doubt they will
accomplish much if they go at it as
they did then in a quiet, determined
and united manner. About 700
voted in this city for school directors
and the ticket backed by the clubs
won out by a sweeping majority.
They did not loudly proclaim what
they intended to do but they agreed
to stand by certain ticket which
they honestly believed was for the
best interests Of the schools, and
quietly they worked, bringing about
a veritable Landslide. Another fea-
ture worthy of mention is the fact
that not one penny passed hands to
the knowledge of the club women.
1t was an absolute clean election, no
excitement, no indecent language and
no drunkenness. Neither by word or
action was there an affront or insult
offered by any man to one of the
hundreds Of women who visited the
polling place to deposit a ballot. IT,
600 men and women passed and re-
passed each other pleasantly and
respectfully and the presence of the
latter gave to the voting place an
atmosphere of refinement that could
no have been maintained without the
presence of those who demand respect
and will have it. Crushed is the
theory that women can not vote
without surrendering their woman
illness, and crushed also is theory put
forth by some that women are not
level headed enough and have not
the judgement to vote intelligently.
