Negro Government at Panama.
tits curious fact that the finest geographical
point relative to the commerce Of the world is
governed by niggers. Panama is absolutely
under the control of few hundred half clothed,
half-fsd, miserable men who give local laws
relative to trade and interoceanic intercourse
and dictate to the whole world the policy of q
highway in which millions of human beings
are intensely interested. There is no right
existing, in view of the advancement of this
century, where q few halfbreeds and
negroes can place themselves as barrier to
the development of the commercial relations
which are constantly expanding and linking
the Old World with the New. Panama should
become point neutral, guaranteed as such
by every powerful nationality. War should
not disturb its trade relations, much less should
three or four hundred half-civilized men direct
its fortunes and impede its march,
To-day, when new railway enterprises across
the Isthmus are being brought to practical
reality, when the long contemplated ship cana
is taking tangible form, when the South Ameri-
can Pacific trade is being turned into our own
cities instead Of Europe, when China and the
Indies are about to open their doors and pour
millions of treasure across the Isthmus into
our commercial centres, it is time that we
looked to the condition of the route over which
all this trade is to pass. It is not for New
Granada, with its countless changes of govern
ment, to direct oil this At Panama, above all
other places on the face Of the globe, the world
demands stability. To-day it may be said that
a few ignorant and revolutionary men hold it
in their power to stop the Panama Railway and
interrupt the already vast trade that flows
across it, as was lately the case in fact. When
Chiriqui rebelled all the workmen of the Pana-
ma Railway were seized and pressed into the
mob of variegated Philippians who were or
ganized to resist an anticipated invasion. The
whole business of the Isthmus was impeded,
and the commerce flowing across it very natu-
rally suffered in consequence.
But many obstacles lie in the way of having
the Isthmus neutrality guaranteed by combi
nation of the great commercial Powers. It
becomes necessary, therefore, for our own
government to take this matter in hand and
promptly dictate the measures necessary to
protectorate over this great key to both oceans.
No European government would urge single
objection, but rather applaud the action. AL
ready they recognize the fact that no other
Power can give peace and prosperity to Mexico
excepting the United States. 1t will not be
hard matter to convince them that the same
rule should be applied to Central America and
the State of Panama. New Granada looks
upon the Isthmus simply as lucky blessing
which forces the world to pay her tribute. We
look upon it in broader view, and in our
national greatness should decree that no ma
ton shall be allowed to dictate to and impede
the commerce of the world through advantages
which it may possess from typographical fea-
lures or geographical position.

AN EXTRA DITION TREATY WITH ITALY,
Italy is Vie home of art and of music, and this
is why an extradition treaty with her is of some
importance. 1t is skill in art that makes her
sons the best of all counterfeiters and that
has enabled them to practice SO well on our
paper money that they have filed the country
with false notes. An immense amount Of
counterfeiting on our greenbacks and stamps
has been done both here and in Italy by the
sons Of that land of traditional beauty, and
the counterfeiters are now enjoying the fruits
Of their knavery in comfortable homes, leaving
US the pest Of their ingenuity. It is to be
hoped the extradition treaty will bother them
somewhat

Very Interesting News from spain In Re
ference to Cuba.

Very Interesting News from spain In Re.
ference to Cuba.
We have two very interesting items of news
this morning, received last night from the
other side, in reference to Cuba. The first
is that under the advice of the generals of the
army the provisional government at Madrid
has determined to send q military force of
nine thousand men and four batteries of
artillery to Cuba to suppress the insurrection
there. The second is a report from Madrid to
the Independence Beige that the provisional
government of Spain never, never will sell the
lever faithful island" to the United States.
Putting these two items together they are
very significant. An Instruction in Cuba,
which in Madrid is believed to call for a regu-
lar military force of nine thousand, in adj
dition to the regular local troops and
the vessels Of war which will go out
with the new Captain General Dulce,
must be a pretty serious affair. The local
authorities of the island nd interim have,
we suspect, suppressed the facts as to the
actual condition of things in the interior, from
apprehensions that if the facts were known
III Tue Oulleu OIdtcS IHc JttfOUSteTOS WOulu De
down upon them and, in speedy fulflment
of the American idea, make short work of the
question Of "manifest destiny" Among
our advertisements yesterday was one which,
upon its face, amounted to call for volunteers
of military and naval experience" to assist
in the annexation Of Cuba to the United States.
1t is probable that this purpose underlies the
revolutionary movement in the island, and that
the provisional home government has got wind
Of it and is resolved not to let this
productive piece Of property slip through
its fingers into the possession Of the United
States without fair equivalent. These nine
thousand soldiers from Spain, then, are CON-
ing over to Cuba to take care Of the filibusters.
As for the report that the new government at
Madrid will never dispose of the island to the
United States, it simply means that the cession
will not be made until it can no longer be
avoided. From the complete exhaustion of
the Spanish treasury, however, and from the
impoverished condition Of the Spanish people,
we are inclined to think that in q short time
the sale Of Cuba will be imperatively necessary
to keep the home government on its legs.
We expect very soon to have full informa-
tion Of the exact state Of things in the island,
the positive revolutionary tendencies of which
can no longer be doubted in the face OF this
| suggestive news from Spain.

REvERDY JoHNsoN's MIssIoN.-The last

praises Reverdy johnson. He had better
come home at once. He has done harm

AWFUL DoINas Down IN FLoRIDA.-The
reconstructed government Of Florida is in q
bad way. Governor Reed has been impeached
of high crimes and misdemeanors, including
lying and embezzlement, bribery and corrup-
ton, usurpation Of power, &C., and Lieutenant
Governor Gleason has issued a proclamation
that, in consequence of these proceedings, he
has assumed the functions of the Executive.
But the Governor in a counterblast announces
that he is still and will be the Governor until
set aside by the courts, and before one of the
courts accordingly the imbroglio has been car
ried up. These high and mighty officials
Of Florida, Legislature, Governor and
Lieutenant Governor, if we are not
mistaken, are all of the order Of
radicals and carpet-baggers; and this squabble
into which they have fallen, it is apparent, is
all about the spoils and the division thereof
We guess, too, that detachment of United
States troops will at last be required to settle
the dispute, which seems to be the Alpha and
Omega of the Congressional system of South
ern restoration. We shall look, however, for
something better from President Grant.

A brigade Of the Metropolitan Fire Dsbatt.
ment, the men in full dress and the engines.
hose carriages and hook and ladder trucks ali
looking clean, bright and serviceable as il was
possible to MAKE them, marched through the
principal thoroughfares Of the city yesterday,
closing the parade with grand review in
Tompkins square by the Governor of the State.
Contrasted with the old volunteer depart
ment, once the pride of every New Yorker, the
present in many respects is the superior.
Under the old system the machinery for the
extinguishment Of fires was, with much unne-
cessary tumult and hurry and danger, brought
to the scene of the confagration; and not unfre-
quently, while the flames were spreading and
eating up much that might have been
saved, companies would waste valuable time
brawling over the right to the use Of ahydrant
or some other equally unimportant matter.
How different is it with the present olganiza-
ton! With splendid steam engines and other
apparatus, manned by picked and expe-
rienced men, all are drawn with safety and
speed, and without unnecessary noise-pl'ov-
ing that maniacy is not consequent Of AN
alarm Of fire on the part of the extinguishers--
to the scene of danger by strong, swift,
mettlesome, yet obedient horses. The Metro
politan Fire Department. is unquestionably
far more efficient and less expensive than
its predecessor; and controlled as 1t il
by commissioners of experience, is, with its
fine matsrse, first of its kind in Christendom
This much may be said of the parade Of the
brigade it had in its ranks stalwart men,
powerful horses, and engines and other ma
chinery of character that, combining beauty
with utility, is Incompatible.

The National Debt Statement.

Mr. McCuloch gives us a more fattering
statement Of the public debt this month than
for several months past. But no correct idea
can be formed either of the condition of the
Treasury or the modification of the national
Indebtedness from single months statement.
1t is necessary to take longer period to under
stand whether the debt is being increased or
reduced. The revenue comes in irregularly
and the expenditures are greater at one time
than another. Consequently we can only Judge
correctly by taking the years exhibit of the
national finances. We find, then, that the debt
was, on November l, 1867, So, 491, 504, $50, and
on November !, 1868, 80, 527, l29, 1852, which
makes the increase Of the national debt for the
last year amount to $50, 625, 1902. 1t may be
said that this increase arises from the bonds
issued to the Pacific Railroad Company, but II
is nevertheless positive augmentation of the
debt, and that in time Of peace and when the
income Of the Treasury amounts to nearly four
hundred millions o year. No comment is ne
cessary; the figures speak for themselves, and
show how recklessly extravagant the govern
ment has become and how wretchedly our ma
tional finances are managed.

A NEW EXCITEMENT AMONG THE WHIsKRY
RrNas.-Read our Washington dispatches
touching the investigations Of Fullerton and
Yeaton, the successors Of Buckley, and the
panic in anticipation in the whiskey circles at
Washington upon the dreadful disclosures and
consequences expected and rumored. Surely
where there is so much smoke there must be
some fire, and an opportunity at last for honest
Andy johnson to make clean sweep Of these
whiskey rings all the way from Washington to
New York and all round the circle. But the
President must stand by Fullerton or he will
inevitably share the fate Of Buckley.

1t is distinguishing characteristic of
cultivated woman to adorn and beau
tify her person. In proportion rs she
becomes refined or dcbasci, she pays
moro or less regard to her personal APP
pearancc. The love of admiration is, rs
it ought to be, strong in every woman's
nature, and hence it is that the dccora-
ton of her person is always regarded us
of paramount importance. The three
most beautiful things on earth arc wo-
~ by nature pure and attractive. Wo-
man knows she is beautiful, she loves to
be admired by man cndeavors to rem
der herself as attractive as possible to
mans eyes, and therefore it is that she
avails herself of all the benefits of dress
and ornaments. Woman is gifted by
nature with great natural attraction.
Her complexion is, if not ruined by
paint and powder, fair and delicate, her
hair abundant and lustrous, and her
form the very perfection of grace and
loneliness. Womans chief ornament is
her hair. No matter how regular the
contour of the features may below

Messrs. Morten & Percy are young men
