Uphold the Law. A good deal of revolutionary talk follows the tragedy at Hazleton. Some of it pro- ceeds from sources accustomed to seize any pretext for such deliverences, and there- fore it excites no surprise. All of it, how- ever, is to be regretted. There is no war between capital and labor in the United States, nor any excuse for war. Differ- ences exist, have always existed, will con- tinue to arise from time to time. But dif- ferences are not war, nor the excuse for war. They invite arbitration. They are best settled by arbitration. A very serious difference extending over a number of states in regard to this very business of digging coal has just been settled by the informal application of the principle of ar- Ditration and really there is no difference conceivable between capital and Iabor in this country beyond the scope of tory settlement by this means. should any man advise the setting «side of law and the appeal to unrestrained force where the question pritaarily is the regula- tion of wages? The effort to induce the laboring men to believe that the laws are igned and ex- ecuted for their enslaven:ent, where it. is Rot a piece of folly proceeding from ignor- ance and excitement, partakes of the character of a crime. The jaws are made for all alike. The courts are open to all alike. The poor man is protected in kis home and in his rights, and leans heavily upon the law. !t is proper that he should. Remove the law and give bridle ‘o license, and the laboring man is by far the great- est sufferer of ail. He is invariabiy the victim where lawlessness runs riot. He is unable to get away. jut the man of means, when he sees ‘he storm arising, hurries naturally to a place of safety. Rich and poor alike are interested in respecting and obeying and upholding the law. It is to the common advantage. This government is the peuple’s government, in fact as well as in name. The people have made it, and they sustain it, and they have provided tribunals for the redress of griev- ances. The man therefore who flouts those tribunals and their processes and advo- cates an appeal to outlawry or force speaks against the public welfare and safety, and preclaims himself an enemy of free insti- tutions. ——_++s+—_____ His Mission Begins. General Woodford has now entered on his Offictal duties in Spain, and, whether he Proceeds swiftly or slowly, speculation as to the scope and character of his instruc- tions will be widely indulged in both here and abroad. The field is open to all, and for the present one man’s guess is about as good as another's. Three propositions have already received @ good deal of attention of this kind. (1) Autonomy. Even Spain concedes that Cuba has been badly governed, and hence her talk about reforms. But autonomy, as understood in the United States and illus- trated in the case of Canada, it not within Spain's meaning as respects any change in her policy toward Cuba. That is admitted, even by Senor Sagasta. Precisely what autonomy is in the Spanish conception of colonial government we do not readily grasp in this free country. But the Cubans grasp it, and refuse it on the score that it is merely a trick—a rearrangement of bur- dens. They believe that they would be as much harried under the so-called autonomy as ever. They have come to abhor Spanish rule of any kind and of all kinds. () Purchase of the island by the Cubans. This proposition is coupled with the sug> gestion that part of tMe price to be paid shall be an assumption by the Cubans of a share of the enormous debt that has been incurred by Spain in the prosecution of the Present war. The bare statement of this proposition is sufficient to explain its ob- jectionableness in Cuban circles. Spain has laid Cuba waste, and squandered millions of money in persecuting the Cuban people, and the Cubans are to be assessed at a top figure for a desert, and for a full share of the money expended in gn effort to cxter- ™minate them. There need be no wonder that the Cubans, even in their distress, laugh at such a thing. (3) Independence. The war still goes on. The Cubans keep the field and continue to win victories. Spain is bankrupt, and has been fought almost to a standstill. Why should not the Cubans insist on independ- ence? Why should they give up, or dicker for paltry terms, with success seemingly in sight? Why not go on until every ves- tige of Spanish authority is rooted out of the island? The United States, there is good reason to believe, is not at this time behind any proposition but that the war in Cuba should be brought to a close. It desires that re- sult, and will assist in an honorable and a Proper way to bring that about, but it would be idle to deny the fact that with independence for Cuba as the result the people of the United States would feel the liveliest and sincerest satisfaction. —_++e—___ An Internatio: Dinlogue. Hawaii (to Japan): “Will you arbitrate?” Japan (to Hawaii): “I accept the principle of arbitration. But I will not arbitrate the question of fact involved, as to whether the rejected immigrants were or were not ip truth paupers; and I will not arbitrate the question of law involved, as to whether the treaty of 1871 is applicable to the con- troversy.” Hawali (to Japan): “If you will not arbi- trate the leading issues of law and fact involved, please to specify what issues you will arbitrate.” > o> ____ The statement that President McKinly was “warmly greeted” on his arrival here last night sounds like ill-considered frank- hess. ———_++s—____ Mr. Croker will kindly consent to stand out in the wings and do a little prompt- ing. ————~+ ee ___ ™ ipal Gas Works. Philadelphia’s experience in the munici- pal ownership of the gas works has not Proven wholly satisfactory -to the taxpay- ers, although the consumers have been fur- ished with an illuminant of fair quality for $1 a thousand feet. The enterprise has at all times been capable of supplying the @ty treasury with a large revenue, but the affair has fallen into the hands of the poll- ticlans, and the 2,500 places connected with {% and the contracts for material and serv- have been used for the purposes of the ward leaders until a condition closely bor- dering upon public scandal has resulted. Interest in the matter is revived just now by the submission of a proposition from a Private corporation to lease the entire plant, paying the city an increasing annual ranging from $350,000 the first year to Hesesace tus tutrcieth wna tant Seavrae toe Igese, and aggregating $36,725,000 for the period. This proposition contem- fates the sale of gas to consumers at the old dollar rate, while the quality is main- tained at 22-candle power. The city is to receive free for the illumination of public buildings and streets gas to the amount of 700,000,000 cubfe feet a year, estimated at @ value of $10,000,000 for the period of thirty years. In ten years the city can retake the plant, and, failing this, in thirty years the whole property reverts to the municipality. Opposed to the lease are certain of the politicians of the city, who see in it the loss of great power in the manipulating of men and votes. Favoring it are certain citizens who believe that a city so ridden with politicians as Philadelphia can not safely be entrusted with such a great en- terprise. The matter is being carefully weighed by experts and the public, and a hot fight is expected over the settlement of the questions presented. The proposition jvst noted is not the only one of the sort urder consideration, others less favorable te the city having been received, while J. Edward Addicks of Delaware has dupli- cated the main offer in all its details, add- ing $1,000,000 to the consideration. City and State, a weekly publication devoted to the ¢cnsiderat:on of muni-ipal affairs in general and those of Philadelphia in particular, points out that fn all likelihood at the end of thirty years gas will have been supplanted as a general illuminant by electricity, acetylene or some other element yet to be discovered or perfected, and, further, that the gas plant would probably be better preserved by a private corporation than by the city. Those citizens of the District who favor municipal ownership of the gas works need not be discouraged by this turn of affairs in Philadelphia, for the political conditions prevalent there that endanger the success of the experiment do not exist here. ———_+ «oe -—____. Autumn Precautions. The present week will witness many home-comings. Hundreds of Washing- tonians who have spent the season else- where will return to their own residences. In the rush of their readjustment of do- mestic routine they may overlook some of the most important items of house-caring at this juncture, perhaps to the detriment of the health of the family. It is te be re- membered that a house that has been closed all thé*hot weeks of the mid-year is Hable to hold unwholesome intluences when it fs first re-occupied, and great care should be taken immediately after the return to see that every room in the dwelling is thoroughly aired. This process is not well done if confined to a single day, but should be continued during three or four days, if the house-keeper would be sure to remove all the lurking germs of disease from the precincts. The first measure of precaution in this line should be taken, as a matter of fact, in the spring, when the house is shut up for the vacation period. Then the most thorough cleaning and removal of all old clothes, papers, and other refuse should be unuertaken. When thus put m good condition the house will remaia so during the hot months, but if there be any accu- mulations in cellars, closets, or other places where the air does not freely circulate of miscellaneous articles, bits of perishable stuff, fragments yf food, fruit and the iike, decomposition will occur and the atmous- phere wiil be laden with a hurtful element, assalling the health of all who come into the house in the autumn. Sewer traps are lia- ble in the hot season to become dry through the evaporation of the water and this may permit foul emanations to escape into the rooms. Thus the greatest care should be taken to attend to these details at once after the return, else in a few weeks malarial ailments may develop, per- haps running into typhoid fever. Then will come the cry of imported germs, bad water here and such often groundless ex- cuses to account for the prevalence cf diseases. A thorough house-cleaning in the spring, followed by a complete airing in the autumn when the house is first cc- cupied, will go far toward preventing all such troubles. 2 —_> ee ____ Appointing Non-Residents. There should be no occasion for the ques- tion to arise whether a resurrected act of the defunct legislative assembly prohibits the appointment of ron-residents to subor- dinate municipal cffices of the District of Columbia. The appointing power is in the hands of Commissioners, the civilian majority of whom must themselves under the law be residents. The same considera- tions which caused Congress to pronounce as essential to the commissionership an intimate knowledge of local conditions and identification with local interests would naturally induce the Commissioners to ap- point residents like themselves to serve as their Meutenants in the performance of duties concerning which Congress had thus indicated that residence was a necessary qualification. The suggestions of common sense and of regard for the capital's wel- fare are so powerful in the direction of local appointments to such offices that nothing less than a statutory prohibition of the selection of a resident, such as exists in respect to the superintendent of charities, should suffice to drive the Commissioners from appointing residents. ———____-¢-«_____ Louise Michel, the French anarchist, is coming to this country.

The Daily Mail of London has this to say on the subject of the Hazleton tragedy: “There is no necessity for America to fight Spain after all. An outlet for her fighting energy is provided by the indis- creet vigor of a Pennsylvania sheriff. The European governments whose subjects are among the victims of the massacre at Hazieton will unquestionably demand rep- aration.” Here is exhibited the usual English in- ability te grasp an American situation. Let it be granted, for the sake of the argu- ment, that the subjects of European gov- ernments did perish at Hazleton. That presents no new question. ~The United States has dealt with such a situation be- fore, and dealt with it justly and suc- cessfully. And It will be able to do so again and without undue haste or the slightest difficulty. But first must come the inquiry, conducted according to Ameri- can forms and by American officials. Pro- tection is guaranteed only to those who are within the law. If a foreign subject is killed while violating or attempting to vio- late the law, this government recognizes no responsibility to his heirs or to his home government. Where the proper pro- tection was denied him, either as a free man without blame, or as & prisoner under charges, the government voluntarily, from a sense of right and justice, pays to his heirs, through his home govermment, a sum of money for the wrong committed. A settlement of this kind with the Italian government was effected in one of the ap- Propriation bills passed by the last Con- gress. It 1s because the record of the United States is so clear on this point that this government can afford to hold Spain to an equal accountability im the matter of the sacrifice of American lives and American property in Cuba. American citizens Tesid- ing in Cuba are amenable to the laws of Spain, as foreign subjects residing in this ccuntry are amenable to the laws of the United States. If they die while violating the laws and resisting those charged with executing the laws, this government has no case against Spain. But where, as in the Ruis case, the American citizen was with- out blame, and yet perished, and where Property of American citizens, without blame, has been destroyed, as has often oc- curred since the war In Cuba began, the United States has a case, and is most solemnly charged with the duty of press- ing it. The difficulties in this Hazleton tragedy, in their larger aspect, are purely local. There are numerous precedents for dealing with any foreign phase it may possess, and they will be followed, our English friends. may be sure, without regard to any bluster from the outside, or misconceptions of American conditions, . —_——_++e—_____ It is reported that Mr. Armour thought- lessly tried to tip a European nobleman while at a hotel.

Responsibility at Hazleton. From the New York Tribune. It looks as if the sheriff and the deputies lest their heads and thought their business was to exterminate a band of disorderly persons, instead of restraining them from violence. Moreover, the sheriff's own con- tradictory accounts of his action tend to discredit his management of the affair. He says he ordered the shooting, and he says he did not order the shooting; he says he was trampled under foot and severely beat- en, but those who saw him soon afterward say he showed no signs of ill-treatment. He may have acted with the best of mo- tives, and thought himself in imminent danger from a mob which he knew to be composed of ignorant and violent persons who refused to listen to his commands. ‘We may assume that he has no intention of misrepresenting an unpleasant situation, but the very confusion of his stories makes it difficult to believe that he performed his duties with the good sense and calmness necessary for a public officer charged with his responsibilities, © But however lacking the sheriff may have been in judgment, his mistake, or the mistake of his deputies in firing without sufficient reason, does not in the least fur- nish ground for wholesale assaults upon offi- cers of the law for. rigorously suppressing violence. Nor does it offer the slightest ex- cuse for further rioting in Hazleton. All law- abiding citizens of that region should go to their homes and preserve pead, instead of seeking further to disturb it; and all speakers and writers elsewhere should re- frain from actions calculated to encourage further violence or nurture more ill feeling. Even the mistakes of the law cannot jus- tify appeals to lawlessness. ———_++e—____ Lax Immigration Laws. From the Detroit Free Press.
