Gas !!

We don't like to find fault. We would rather not,
as we would rather not be found fault with Most
of us mean to do as we'll as we can, and suppose
the Gas Company is no exception, but still it does
not fully answer all the ends for which it is desi gn-
ed not as fully, it seems to US, as it might do.
When people get gas into residence place OF
business, they rely upon it exclusively or pretty
nearly so, and any sudden demand finds them unpro'

Stringent Measures Against Cuba.

We called the attention of readers not long
since to the increase of lbe slave trade TO Cuba, and
we then explained the causes which it appeared to
US had contributed 10 this lamentabIe result 1t is
partly to the high price of sugar and other tropical
produce, and partly to the culpable connivance of
the authorizes OF that island that we must ascribe
the increase in question. The increasing demand for
sugar naturally stimulates production, and for the
cultivation of fresh soil flesh supplies of slaves are
necessary. There are indeed, obstacles to be over
come but unfortunately they are not such as are
likely to put down traffic the most lucrative in the
world. The demand for slave labor is great and
pressing, and the supply which Africa affords is
practically boundless. Capital will never be want
ing where there is promise of so vast profit. and
the only points for The serious consideration OF the
slavedeaer how to evade the vigilance of the
British cruisers, and how 10 bride economically as
poss bic the Cuban authorities.
1t appears that the latter have raised their tariff of

while the sun shines and we hear of splendid for
tuEes realised by high official dignaries, in an in.
crediby short time, from this most filthy source
But the slavedealer well afford at present to pay
such bibles. His profits enormus, his losses COM
paratvely rare. That he will therefore take every
means to preserve and to extend his thriving trade,
SO long as efectual means not taken 10 put
it down, is proposition which cannot for moment
be disputed.
The only question, then, which we have TO consd-
er Isl whether we are not bound undcr present cir
cumsta 10 adopt more Stringent measures for the
suppression of the traffic than have hitherto been put
in operation. Upon this point we have doubt
whatever. We expressed this opinion some time
since, and recent experience has amply confirmed It,.
The only real question is how we are 10 90 about it..
That we must take the matter into own hands is
abundantly clear, for it would be ridiculous now to
expect that Spain will help us If, then, would
stop the slave fife to Cuba, must materially in,
crease the number of cruisers in that quarter,
and must take care to send out the vessels best
suited for the purpose 1t is said that the gun boats
built during the late war, Of which we have abun-
dance to spare, not adapted to tropical climate
But surely if This he the Case our arsenals fur
