Cuban Expedition

That our readers may fully understand
the position III which the Inhabitants Of
Cuba have been placed by their oppressors
we copy the following from a correspondents
of the N. Y. Tribune:
On soil where there is the penalty of
arrest and Imprisonment attached to the
association of as many as three persons,
to discuss political or social grievances, as
relate to the Government; and where every
vigilance that fear and malice can suggest
is on the watch for the slightest display Of
mutinous disposition, how impossible it
would be for people to unite their sym
pathles and compass the means essential
to a successful revolt against their oppres-
sors? Such soil is Cuba, and a people
so spIeG upon, and seized upon the pre-
tense Of suspicion even are the Cubans.-
n OF permitted to have in their possession
any deadly weapon; all their movements
dogged; the right OF association, petition
and remonstrance denied them, how could
they, except from without, gather those
cannon and bayonets which are the only
arguments Spain respects? EXpatrlated,
the moment they are Suspected of liberal
and generous ideas, the master-spirits of
Cuba have their homes ia frreigu iands.-
Cubans, exiled and noble spirited Cubans,
have devised the expedition TO free their
homes. Could they have compassed the
material of war at home-their birth home
they would not have sought our soil.
Driven from home, they return with such
weapons as they could find, and if, taking
their lives in their hands, individual Amer
leans have gone with them TO do battle for
liberty, can we as people, indebted TO La
Fayettes, Steubens and Dekalbs in our
Revolution, call these men-elther the
suffering Cubans, or the sympathising A.
mericans-pirates or marauders! Men
battling in the hottest causes have been
called rebels, pirates and murderers, though
after ages rewarded their memories with
/ the name of Delverers. If it shall be
/ found that the Cubans, as man, reject
This Expedition, if they fail to rally to the
standard they have invited, through fear
or more mercenary feeling, then let 1t be
said that the expedition mistook its pur-
pose; but if it shall prove seed sown in
the right time to produce harvest for lib
erty, let it be honored. Its acts will best
test its character.

like those pretty little affecting drapas
:hey get up now al our minor theatres; and
in my character | represented a poor,
friendless orphan girl, reduced to the most
wretched poverty. A heartless tradesman
prosecutes the sad heroine for debt, and
insists on putting her in prison, unless
some one will be bail for her. The girl
replies, 'then have no hope; have not
a friend in the world .What! will no
one be bail for you to save you from pris-
on?' asked the stern creditor. i have told
you have not a friend on EARTH was my
reply. But just as | was uttering the
words, | saw a sailor in the upper gallery
spring over the railing, letting himself
down from one tier TO another, until he
bounded clear over the orchestra and foot
lights, and placed himself beside me in a
moment Yes you shall have one friend

ell and SO surprising dis plav of strength,
as it was naturally regarded, attracted a
very crowded house, and expectation w as
on the tiptoe, when our hero appeared on
the stage, glass in hand. and politely in
vited any half dozen of the audience to
come forward and put his prowess to the
test. Several gentlemen. amongst whom
was the mayor of the place, imme diately
advanced to the stage, and 6 rasping the
left arm of Vogel, apparently rendered
the performance of his promised feat
quite out of the question. There was an
awful pause for a moment, when our arm
bound hero, eyeing the gentlemen who
had pinioned him, said in his broken Eng
lish, "Jenteelmen, are you all ready! Are
you quite sure you have got fast hold?"
The answer having been given in the af-
frmative, by very confident nod from
those to whom it was addressed, Vogel, TO
the infinite amusement OF the spectators,
and to the no small surprise of the group
round him, advancing his right arm,
which was free, very coolly took the wine
glass from his left hand, and bowling very
politely to the half dozen gentlemen, said, +,
"Ienteelmen, [ have the honor to drink
all your goot health at the same time
quaffing off the wine, amidst general
roar of laughter, and universel cries OF
Bravo, bravo; we'll done, Vocel."

at least, my poor young woman said he
with the greatest expression in his honest
sunburnt countenance; Il will go bail for
you to any amount. And as for goa,
(turning to the frightened actor,) if you
don't bear hand and shift your moorings,
it will be worse for you when [ come
ashvvert your bows Every creature in
the house rose; the uproar was perfectly
indescribable; peals of laughter, screams
of terror, cheers from his tawny mess
mates in the gallery, preparatory scrapings
Of violins from the orchestra; and amid the
universal din there stood the unconscious
cause of it, shetering me, 'the poor dis
tressed young woman and breathing de-
fance and destruction against my mimic
prosecutor. He was only persuaded to
relinquish his care of me by the manager
pretending to arrive and rescue me, with
q profusion Of theatrical bank notes.

The Truth well Expressed.

In a capital article on the "GALrHIN
vilIainY," we find the following true and
overwhelming paragraphs:
During the..sixty years that had passed
away since our present form of govern
ment was adopted, the office of Secretary
of the Treasury has been filled by about
a score of persons, embracing members Of
almost every political party that has ap-
peared in the county; and Of this number,
we are not aware that one was ever sus-
pected Of having made use of the power
of his position to seIze the public
money for his own individual use, or for
the benefit Of friends or clients. What
one Of their number, from s.Eiamlton to
Walker, would have done any thing like
the corrupt deed that has made Secretary
Crawford man of wealth, if before he
were poor, and added 70 his wealth if he
were a rich man! The name OF Crawford,
which has heretofore been most honora-
bly, connected with the history OF the
treasury department, wiz be associated
with it in manner the most disrepu:a-
bile. 1t Will become bye-word, his
sing, and re2roach, as that of man who
united in himself the charaters OF Over
reach and Greedy, and who was destitute
alike of plitica morality and personal hon
or. President Taylor will stand recorded
in history as the only one OF our presi
dents who deliberately, sanctioned the
plumber of the national treasury by the
very man whose duty it was 10 guard it
| agains: the attacks of dishonest claimants,
and who prostituted the powers of his
place 10 crafty his own sordid avarce!

[coRREspospxscE OF THE RxPuBLIc.l

BALTIMoaE, Oct. 1916 .. m.
You will find in the papers full returns Of our
municipal election yesterday. The Wings have
had glorious triumph. They have overcome the
unprecedented vote given to Mr.. Lowe, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor last week, and elect
ed Mr.. ]. IL T. Jerome, Wing, 10 the Mayoralty
by 775 majority. This is an astonishing result. II
shows, however, very concusivey, that the MAORI
ty for Mr.. Lowe was produced, not by Democratic
strength, but by the votes of Wings on the one
hand for the opposing party and their indifference
in not voting, the other. There is no doubt that
many Democrats voted for Mr.. Jerome, believing
him most competent, but the impression is, that he
would have been successful without their assist-
ance. The triumph, under any circumstances, is
great one, and brings rejoicings TO every true
Wing heart.
regret to announce most melancholy occur
renee which took place about eleven O'Clock last
night One of our worthy and most estimable
young men, Mr.. Edward Mitchell, thorough
energetic, active Wing, while passing into tav
ern in Old Town with of his friends, was
either accidentally or purposely shot. The ball
entered his leg above the knee, and 30 shattered it
that amputaton was rendered necessary this morn
ing. The operation was performed. The patient
suffered until about two O'Clock this afternoon,
better known more respected. He presi-
dent of the Vigiant fire company. The bells are
now tong for his loss. II is a sad and melancholy
affair The person who shot him has not yet been
detected though il is said that there was no evil
design-that the event accident. This,
however, is open TO doubt
A subsequent despatch, by telegraph, informs
US that it is ascertained that Mr. Mitchell was
deliberately murdered, and that $500 reward has
has been offered for the murderer. And by a still
later despatch informed that Frank Stier,
Tom Moody, Pat Donnelly, and Jim Thompson,
arrested, charged with killing Edward
Mitchell -EDs.
Several other persons were shot yesterday and
badly wounded, am ng whom was an Irishman
named Lafferty. His leg was SO shattered that il
had to be taken off.
