THE CUBAN EXPEDITION.
InIPORTANT NEWS.


The following telegraphic dispatches have been
received in this city since our last issue on satur
day morning;
CHARLESTON, May rs.
The expedition has failed. Lopez has arrived at
Savannah. The expedition left contoy, in Yucca
tan, and landed at Cardenas. They lost time in
landing, which gave an opportunity To send an
press 10 the port of Collera, ten miles distant The
expedition entered the town and attacked the Jail,
mistaking it for the barracks. The governors
house attacked, and, although well defended,
was finally burnt. The Spanish troops surren-
dered, and the town remained in peaceable posses.
sion of the invaders, who being dissatisfied with
the warm reception they met, and having lost time
in getting the wounded and fuel on board the
steamer Creole, which was to return for reinforce
ments, became dishcartened, and insisted upon
going to Key West. They were closely pursued
by the Spanish war steamer Pizarro, but escaped.
There were several of the invaders wounded.
StilI Later.
The following despatch yesterday reached us via
Charleston.
KEY WEST May 81.
The American steamer Creole, with six hundred
men ON board, this day run into Key West, after
having landed at Cardenas, in Cuba; she was
or Pizarro; about fifteen Americans left on
Shore having, it is supposed, gone TO sleep from
ceesivc fatigue. The people of the Creole made
fast their vessel to the wharf, and delivered her
and themselves over to the civil authorities. The
collector has seized the Creole for violation of the
revenue laws, and her people have been assigned
to the vacant United States barracks for quarters.
Except eighteen men in the 'sPetrel," there is no
force here, either military naval.

Effects OF Free Trade upon the Wages OF

The Locofoco advocates Of free trade claim TO be
the especial frends of the laboring man, but they
have a very peculiar way OF proving themselves so
by their acts. They do not seem TO be acquainted
with the important fact that in this matter as in
every thing else, 'ths proof qf the pudding is The
eating"
The policy that creates a demand for labor is the
best policy for the laborer. The poor mans CAPT
tai consists in his ability TO work; and what he
wants is opportunities for its steady and profitable
investment. He is altogether unlike cash capital
That may be proftably sent out in thousand di-
rections; but sinews and muscles can only be pro-
ftably employed in labor Those, therefore, who
wish to give practical demonstrations of the genu-
ineness Of their sympathy for the laborer, only
do 80 by advocating the policy which creates de-
mand for labor.
cy of free trade. Take, by way Of illustration, the
single interest of iron, in Pennsylvania.
In 1912 there were 2l3 furnaces in operation pro-
ducng l5l 1856 tons Of pig-iron. Before the close
OF 1916 this number has increased to 36, producing
1928 tons, showing an increase in four years Of
1888 furnaces and 222, 346 tons OF iron.
The value of the product of 1912 in the
neighborhood Of $3,O00,OOO, and in lS46 over
$7,000,000.
Two-thirds of this pig-iron was manufactured
into hoops, nails, bars, boiler plate, castings Sc
at ttoice the cost for labor of the pigiron itself
Consequently if we add to this the cost Of the pig
iron, we will have the following results:
1912, value of iron manufactured. $6,OOO,OOO

OF these sums four ffths (but say three fourths)
are expended in labor. There was, therefore, ex-

II requires no acute knowledge of political econ
omy to perceive the benefit which the laborng
men of Pennsylvania derived from the policy which
induced this vast increased demand for labor. II
the same policy had continued, instead of ten mil
lions, in 1876, the iron workers Of Pennsylvania
would have pocketed at least fifteen millions Of dol
lars for their labor in 1880. But that policy
pcrseded by those who profess the most profound
sympathy for the poor man. And what is the re-

The MARyLAND TOBACCO CRoP.-The Upper

authority Of an old and experienced tobacco plan
ter who is Of the largest growers of the article
in Prince Georges county, that the prospect for
crop is less favorable than it the 23d May,
1885, In 1898. it will be remembered, there was
only about halfa crop grown. The plants are very
small, and the weather is cool and harsh, and ia
vorable TO the ravages of the fly II may be safely
predicted that the crop of this year will be very
small and of inferior quality; and as last years
supply Of the finer sorts is far from being large, we
do not hesitate to advise planters to hold for ad
vanced prices.
But the Baltimore american, of Saturday, the
25th, states that the growers Of tobacco on the
Western Shore of Maryland have reason to
complain this The failure Of the Kentucky
srop, which enters largely into domestic con-
sumption, has caused active demand for the
common and inferior sorts Of Maryland, which
otherwise would, in all probability, have been a
mere drug in the market. Inferior parcels, which
ordinarily scarcely pay for the trouble Of packing,
have this season brought good prices.

There would be a shadow of consolation for the
iron worker if he knew these millions went into
the pockets of his fellow laborers in other branches
of business in this country. But he is comforted
by such reflection. He knows that iohat is taken
out Of his pockets goes into the pockets Of foreign
manufacturers.
This is but single illustration of the effect of
the policy 30 tenaciously adhered to by the Loco

When Robert =. Scott, of Fauquier county, this
spring declared himself in favor Of all the liberal
movements Of the times, although we knew him TO
be liberal and courageous man, we were amazed
at the boldness Of the step. But what now
think Of another bright star of that State?-of
who, but few years ago, boasted that the con-
gressional district he represented contained not a
single newspaper, and yet who now comes forth as
the champion of the cause OF progress? We rejoice
10 perceive that light has fallen upon him;
that the noble mountains, the lovely valleys, and
the wide savannahs of his native State about TO
echo to the hum of industry, and to yield up their
wealth to reward the of toll and the spirit Of
enterprse-he, too, has determined that the golden
now hidden in the minds and hearts of her peo-
pie shall be brought forth and purified, and that
every son of the Old Dominion shall arise in the
consciousness that he has within him rich field to
be cultivated; that, however humble his condition,
he is entitled to be heard in the legislation and
cution of the laws of the land which he dwells!
Read the following, which we find in a number of
our exchange papers;
"Rrroam IN vRaIsiA.-Henry A. Wise has an
nounced himself a candidate TO represent Accomac
and Northampton i'm the State convention. He
says he is in favor of biennial sessions of the Legs
lature; public schools encouragement of agriculture
and the mechanic arts by the State; universal suf-
frage to white citizens; election of governor,
tive and municipal officers, sheriff. attorneys,
clerks, constables, &c, by the people; also that
judges be elected by the people, but no judge to sit
alone ON the bench i'm cause where one of the
parties has voted for and the other against him.
The judges of the Court Of Appeals, he thinks,
might he elected by general ticket and the inferior
judges BY the people OF each circuit. No man
ought to sit on the bench after he is sixty years of
age, and judges TO be rc-eligible after a definite
term of years He is in favor of abolishing the Ex
ecutive council and county courts, and goes for
Pile, and for paying all officers just compensa-
ton. He is opposed to allowing any man to vote
in more than one county, no matter what amount
of property he owns; the only qualification in the
voter, he thinks, should be twenty-one years Of
age, one year resident of the State, and six
months in the county"

nois, May the 18th, announces the murder of jan
son, Bishop of the Colony of Swedish emgrants,
who sometime since settled at place called Bish-

Of the circuit court, person by the name of
Root, belonging to the Bishops party, entered
with two loaded pistols, and, after few words of
conversation with him, deliberately shot him dead.
After he was down, Root, to make sure of his VIC
tim, fired again. The murderer made no attempt
to escape. 1t is supposed that the fact of Roots
wife having left him, to live with the Bishops peo
pie, was the motive of the murder.
