ANNUAL SETTLEMENT.

\. Mr.. A. w. Jones, of the comptroller
generals office, and nominee of the
recent primary for the office Of comp
troller general, was in Yorkville last
Wednesday for the purpose Of making
the annual settlement with the various
county officers. He was not expected
until Thursday, and came in somewhat
ahead Of his schedule. His business
was with the books Of the county su-
pervisor, the superintendent Of educa-
ton, the auditor and the treasurer.
All of these officers were ready, how
ever, and upon the arrival Of Mr.. T..
M. Allen, foreman Of the grand jury, by
the afternoon train, Mr.. Jones went to
work, running swiftly, but carefully,
through each of the books and giving
particular attention to the accounts Of
the treasurer on which all the other ac-
counts centre. He found all the books
in proper shape and was we'll pleased
with the result Of the examination. He
left on the o'clock train for Chester.
The settlement covers all Of the re-
ceipts and disbursements of the coun-
ty treasurer from July l, 1901, to Au-
gust 2, 1902, and is comprehended in
the following summary:

THE RAPE OF CUBA.

Tot there be no misunderstanding concerning
5uha. If the United States is going to sacrince
its honor rnon the altar of sordid greed. let II
ar least do so with eyes wide open and Win
a full realization of the present puTport ana the
future menace of its act. There should be here
after no whimpering that we didn't know IL
was loaded The signs of the times are 50
plain that the veriest stark, staring fool OF
wayfarer can have no excuse for not reading
and understanding them. This then. is the
condition which confronts us:
The United States stands morally pledged, ny
Presidential declaration and by Congressional
enactment, TO grant liberal commercial conceS-
sions TO Cuba Such concessions are absolutely
necessary TO the industrial prosperity and TO the
political tranquility of Cuba The granting "t
them. desired by the President, by the majority
of Congress and by the overwhelming majority
OF the American people, is forbidden by Stup-
horn and factious minority in Congress, acting
presumably at the behest of. and certainly IN
the interest of, the allied Sugar Trust and Beet
Sugar Ring These selfish allies oppose the
granting of such concessions not because it
would injure their business and lessen their
immediate profits-for they admit and boast
that il would not do so. No; their opposition is
insnired by q greedy desire for enormous future
gains to be had through a yeritable rape OF the
island of Cuba They propose, these sugar
1nonopolists do, to withhold concessions from
Cuba until the island is ruined-until pianta-
tions and refineries are abandoned and their
owners bankrupt. Then they will purchase all
such properties at the merest fraction OF their
real value. Finally, they will in one way or
another drag Cuba into this Union as a State;
for they expect that the ruined Cubans will
either be glad to accept annexation as their
only hope for industrial salvation or will revolt
again, as they did against Spanish commercial
oppression, and thus compel the United States
TO go in forcibly and take control of the island
That is the scheme of the allied sugar trusts,
first TO ruin Cuba and then TO steal the island.
1t seems TO matter nothing to them that thus
our nations honor would be irretrievably be-
smirched, that a people confding in and de-
pendent upon US would be betrayed and ruined,
that we should be put in peril of another tedious
| and costly war and that another pocket borough
State with alien institutions and difficult social
and racial problems, would be pitchforked into
! this Union to help govern the nation All they
! seem to see or to care for is the opportunity Of
looting Cuba and Of getting possession of her
! sugar plantations and factories for a song. 1t
| is now past the eleventh hour But even yet
| there is time to balk the cOnsummation Of such
| iniquity. If il is rot baked there will one day
be stern reckoning with those responsible, and
! with those responsible for the failure to balk
the scheme as we'll as with those responsible
for its conception and execution; and that day
| Of reckoning may not be far eff.

CORONATION WEEK.

The advent of the King and Queen in London
yesterday marked the formal beginning or the
festivities of what we may call Coronation " eek
for practically all the rest of this week Will
be given I'D TO ceremonials pageantry and popu-
lar reioicings. II is agreeable to be assured
that despite his recent slight fndispositon, anu
despite reckless and sensational rumors such
as commonly abound at such times, the hlhs
appears to be in good health. Ihere Is lhus
no cloud present or potential. to mar the Drli
lance of the occasion To express q hope that
none will arise is the veriest commonplace Oh
international friendship and courtesy. though
for its triteness it is none the less sincere. There
can be no right thinking people in the world
who do not wish unmarried success for the iine
drama which will reach its climax on Thursday
and will have on Friday and Saturday its state
1y epilogue
An interesting token of international interest
in the coronation is to be perceived in the fact
that now at the beginning Of the festlVllles
the representatives of all other lands are
made the guests of the British crown. thus to
remain throughout the week. In this there Is
something more than conventional hospitality
It is demonstration Of the fact that lhere
is a community of interest among all ordered
governments The British Government. tyllneu
hy the sovereign. welcomes the recognition OF
other governments be they royal or repuhn-
can. and other governments, of whatever kind
hasten TO give to II such recognition. Ihat Is
we'll The support of one government is the
sI1pDort Of all. and the support Of all Is the
maintenance of those principles OF right ana "I
order upon which the welfare and progress OF
humanity depend. There was once so-called
Holy Alliance OF few governments, the ehu
of which is scarcely to be described as either
holy or righteous. There may we'll be To-Day
moral Holy Alliance of all lawful governments
for the support of those universal principles OF
authority from which proceed both duty ana
privilege
The gathering at buckingham Palace to-day
will be imposing and significant in more re-
spects than one. In none will II be more so
than in this indication of international interest
in the coronation. The whole world is at peace
and In the midst of such peace all the great
nations Of the world unite to show their good
will toward one of the oldest and greatest OF
their number We may not call that reallza-
ton Of the parliament Of man or of the fed
Grafton of the world" At least it IS theoretl-
cal demonstration of peace and goodwill among
the nations and practical step toward their
establishment and confirmation.

BLACK SNOKE and MAGISTRATES.

Health Commissioner Lederles complaint
that bis attempts to abate the soft coal nuisance
are frustrated by the judges will appeal TO the
sympathes Of all who have tried TO secure III
this city the enforcement of any ordinance
which made for civilization and general com
fort as opposed to individual carelessness and
bad ha bits DR.. Lederle says that hundreds Of
offenders have escaped punishment because the
magistrates have been overlenient, and not be-
cause his department has been lacking in dill
gence or remiss in the presentation Of proofs
The Judges have simply refused TO enforce the
plain requirements of the law, setting up their
opinion that under present circumstances the
burning of soft coal is justifable as superior to
the mandate of the statute. If, indeed, it were
impossible 70 get hard coal refusal to punish
persons who violated the law under the pres
sure of necessity might be justified DR.. Led
erie however. says that, while hard coal is
scarce and high priced, the majority of those
who use soft coal do SO not from necessity but
because they think they can defy the Health
Board and take advantage of the present situa-
tion to save money. The smaller sizes of coal
suitable for factories are TO be had, only the
factories are eager to seize the chance 10 Use
the cheap soft coal.
This is no new disposition on the part of magis
trates Their readiness 10 excuse Iawlessness
OF the less serious kind on good natured pre-
text or another is serious evil. To il is large
ly due that common attitude Of neglect for
others rights and defiance of legal regulations
which characterizes this city. 1t also leads by
force of bad example 10 more serious lawless-
ness. Boys who grow up thinking that ord-
nances may be violated at pleasure. easily come
TO think as they get older that the major pro-
h:bitions of the criminal law are likewise to be
disregarded with impunity.
The idea that the gamblers and liquor dealers
are our chief lawbreakers Is grotesquely false.
Almost the whole population are lawhreakers,
and are encouraged to be so by their nagis-

TO have them keep faith. There is scarcely a

patriotism There are those who would have
fought fire with fire and been as savage as the
brigands themselves. General Wheaton did
neither of these things. He believed the re-
sources of civilization were ample to cope with
barbarsm. and he proved his faith with his
works. He ordered that in all operations his
troops should follow the humane code of the
laws of war. as published during the admins
"tration of President Lincoln" But he ordered
that this should be done inexorably until the
need past
The result was, and is. peace. To such an
end such ways and means were indispensable.
To such ways and means such an end was in
evitabe. General Wheaton says he fully ap-
proves all that his soldiers did. The American
nation will ratify his approval

GENER4L WHEATON'S REPORT.

The story of the suppression of brigandage III
LuZon is admirably told in epitome in the report
of General Wheaton. which was published in
The Tribunes special Washington correspond
ence yesterday. The report is brief 1t can
easily be read at a sitting. It is plain and
STRAIGHTFORWARD, devoid Of fuss and feathers.
Yet 1t gives not only more succinct but also
more complete and comprehensive view of its
subject than all the floods OF ink that have
preceded it
General Wheaton found practically all the
country outside of the American camps under
the control of those who have euphemist ticalIy
been called insurgents. He calls them brigands.
They were engaged In a system of robbery,
enforced by assassination" No method of i'm
posing their despotic will upon the people was
neglected Ambitious thrift, domestic affection,
religious devotion-all We're cruelty prostituted
TO the cause Of sordid extortion. Every calling
was levied upon in a wholesale dragnet fashion
worthy of Tammany 11lackmailers in their
palmiest days; and at every village there
were executioners ready with the dagger or
with the open grave for the living, to enforce
the brigands' mandate or to punish refusal of it.
Such a state OF affairs in a territory nomnally
occupied by a civilized army without a
precedent or parallel in history. 1t had been
brought about, says General Wheaton, by the
III advised exercise Of too much kindness and
forbearance toward those whose every impulse
was toward treachery and perfdy.
General Wheaton upon assuming command,
adopted a new policy. Ii involved 'the most
determined methods consistent with humane
construction of the laws of war" That, one
would unhesitatingly say, was simple common
sense. The condition which confronted the
American troops was that of 'semi-civiliZed in
'sursents habitualiy violating every law of
war known 10 civilized nations. and treating
their own people with every barbarity that
'can be inflicted upon the helpless" What
then? There are those who would have with
drawn in mealy mouthed and pussy footed
fashion, leaving the brgands to rob and stab
and bury alive at will in the sacred name Of
