"The Sea! The Seav'
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
The cry OF Xenophon's Ten Thousand is
the cry of the nations today. 1t Is the cry,
that Is, of all that need to raise 1t. 1t was
the cry of America a hundred years ago,
when the demand for free access to the sea
by way of the Mississippi river led to the
Louisiana purchase. 1t has for few years
been the cry of our Canadian neighbors try
ing to gain shorter outlet to the sea
across our Alaskan territory to which their
government solemnly renowned ell claim
more than three-quarters of century ago.
1t Is the cry OF Bulgaria seeking to annex
Macedonia. and Of Austria, intent on push
ing her borders down until they include Sa-
lonica. The Macedonian question Is really
a question of getting frontage upon the
eastern Mediterranean. Above all Is this cry
raised by Russia. whose diplomatic and
military efforts have for two centuries or
more been directed toward getting a 'front.'
age upon the always open ocean. That Is
land empire first pushed to the sea at
Archangel, but found that remote and Ice

whose avenue of connection with the outer
world was controlled by another power
The third essay, two centuries ago, brought
him to st. Petersburg, "a window looking
upon Europe" But Peter found that too

Russia has devoted herself ever since
Peters time, and has not yet succeeded

Batting Governor Pennypacker.

Governor Pennypacker's action in approx
ing the new libel law passed by the Penn
sylvania legislature was bad enough In
Itself. but II was made worse by his silly
attempt at Justification his descent to per-
sonalities his citation of instances of press
license fully punishable under the existing
law and his total want OF judicial spirit In
discussing the subject of press freedom. So
absurd are his expressions. so puerile his
arguments. so utterly pointless his entire
explanation. that he has made himself a
fair object OF ridiicule. and II Is. therefore,
by no means surprising that the newspa-
pers OF Philadelphia. with one conspicuous
exception. have opened their batteries of
sarcasm and denunciation. spreading great
cartoons upon their pages In fragrant de-
ffance OF the very items of the governors
statement which indicate his sensttiveness
under this form of assault.

These pictures. together with that in the

| labeled with phrases from his ridiculous
| statement, show the spirit of the press Of
that city. The publishers are determined
to force the issue. They have been assailed
| in the state paper as libelers. malicious
enemies of honesty and decency, polluting
the atmosphere and debasing the public
morals. For years the alleged offenses
which have aroused the governors present
Ire and were, in fact, the cause of the ini-
quitous libel law. have been committed in
the name of good government, in protest
against corrupt ring rule. a political bossism
infinitely debasing, debauching and poison
Gus of the public morals. The law
is aimed directly at the independence
of the press. Is designed to enchain
1t to the service of the boss and
his henchmen or at least to gag 1t in fear.
The publics interests were sufficiently pro-
tected under the old law. Such Hbels as a
newspaper might utter were adequately
punishable by the old processes. The new
statute was drawn with crafty ingenuity
to open the doors to strikers with ficti-
tious libel suits. annoying claims for dam
ages serving as warnings of retribution II
policies were not changed. sad perhaps. as
suggested by the governors dark hint of
what Abraham Lincoln did during the civil
war with a recalcitrant newspaper. abso-
lutte suppression in the name Of public well
fare.
The people should be thankful for the
burst of personal anxiety which caused
Governor Pennypacker to indite his remark
able message of approval. for 1t afforded
perhaps the surest means of crushing the
new law under the heels of the higher
courts. 1t is evident that. drawing inspira-
ton from that astounding text, the Phila-
delphia papers will continue their campaign
Of ridicule and denunciaton until the gov
ernor Is compelled either to test the law
himself by a suit for libel or to confess to
it's iniquity by remaining silent under the
very conditions of which he complains with
such peevish bitterness in his address.

Mr., Cleveland at st. Louis.

The present Cleveland movement IL not
to be reckoned from the demonstration In
St Louis last month in honor OF the ex-
President. 1t ante-dateS that by q 1uil
eighteen months Ever since the death OF
Mr. Mckinley. indeed. certain democrats OF
prominence have been considering the ad-
visibility OF bringing Mr.. Cleveland Tor
ward again. They saw the extreme hkeH-
hood OF Mr.. Roosevelts nomination In fSo4
and they complimented him by conceding
that he would make q strong candidate
Turning then to their own side. they can
yassed the merits of the different aspirants
one by one, and decided that the foremost
of them, taken at the appraisement even
of his warmest friends, would be inferior
as a vote-getter to Mr.. Cleveland. So they
began LAYING wires in their hero's behalf.
The ST. Louis festivities played Into their
hands-gave them the desired opportunity.
There is no reason to believe that Mr.
Cleveland's Invitation was plant" His
presence was highly appreciated on every
account and his address was In thorough
keeping with the occasion. The enormous
crowds cheered Justify. They cheered every
distinguished guest. Everybody was feel
ing good and friendly, and using his lungs
to boom the big show. The crowds were
not composed exclusively OF ST. loulsians,
nor yet of Missourians. Visitors from all
over the country were present, republicans
democrats and populists. Politics for the
moment went by the board. Democrats &C
claimed Mr.. Roosevelt and republicans ac-
claimed Mr.. Cleveland. The thing to do
was to make everybody happy, and. so far
as the street demonstrations Were con-
cerned everybody was made happy.
1t is sought now to give political sig
nificance to so much of the hullabaloo as
Mr. Cleveland inspired. We are told that
the scales have at last fallen from the peo-
pies eyes, and he Is coming into his own
again. Judgment has succeeded passion.
Sober reflection has brought the people
around to Mr. Cleveland's point of view.
His principles stand approved. and there is
a widespread desire to see him back in the
White House. Have the Bryanites ac-
cepted Mr.. Clevelands financial Views?
Have the protectionists accepted his tariG
views, If those views may be gathered from
his part In the fight over the Gorman-Wil-
Mr.. Cleveland's attitude toward Hawaii?
Can anybody reconcile his antitrust deliv
erances with the fulsome praise of him now
filling Morganized newspapers?
ST. Louis Is at present in the show busi-
ness. and she knows her business Drive
her streets. and his reception will be hearty
to the point of boisterousness. The cheer
of the street should not inebriate.

Attention is called to the fact that rivalry
may arise between New Orleans and Paris
