The Times of London speaks again upon
what is now one of its favOrite themes. 1t is
pleasant to reject that in this instance, as in
others, foreign opinion is more resolutely and
earnestly than our own in favor of the acqui-
sitiOn of Cuba by the United States. None
will dispute the argument of The Times that
Prim's Government is helpless and worthless
unless 1t turn reforming eye in upon itself,
and leaves Cuba alOne-unless it abandon all
interference in the affairs of the New World,
an experiment which the wretched experience
of France ought to have discredited for all
time to come But the whole world may preach,
and yet Spain not practice.

They have a nuisance of dead rats in Chi
cago. which gives the ST. Louis newspapers an
opportunity Of intimating that the Chicago
grain kills the rodents. We don't see the force
of the argument that therefore the Capital of
the United Estates should be removed to st.
Louis but that is the view which they take of
that matter in that city. The hostilities between
these two fourshing places grow hotter and
hotter lin the newspapers) every day. Mean
while, Chicago is about to construct eleven
miles of sewers, which will furnish ample
accommodations for the rats, and may possibly
relieve the elevators of their presence.

Sentence was passed yesterday by Judge
CardOzO upon sundry heavy operators In Wall
st. who confessed themselves guilty of VIC
lating the Usury laws. They were generally
let off with fines of $3.50 each, but one was or
dered in addition to be imprisoned five and
another ten days. Hereupon, The EueninO Post
suggests that the Usury laws are bound to be
repealed next Winter.
We guess not. The usurers are known TO
have eonsDired to create, by systematically
locking up money, the scarcity which enabled
them to e1tOrt rates varying from to per
cent per day, or at the rate Of As TO $50 per

more fragrant, and more injurious TO the public
zeal, than any contemplated in the enactment

The London Dialectical Society has finished
its investigation of spiritual phenomena. 1t
seems that there are good spirits and dia-
bolical spirits, but that the latter may be
reformed if they are only we'll treated. Miss
Blackwell was opposed to considering them
"accursed." Mr.. Friswell did MT believe in lay
ing these "accursed' spirits by mesmerism,
and Mr.. Burgheim did-because he had seen
it done. In short this discussion seems to
have had the usual effect of such inyestiga-

fore believe all the harder now; but there

The citizens of New-YOr will have an OppOr-

views respecting the site for the new Post

the City Hall; the Government is indifferent
about it, and is ready to meet the wishes of

to fix upon the site before the workmen began
clearing the ground; but even now it is not

Comments BY The Tribune.

The Gasette ignores or defes the fact that our
large export to China of Drilngs and other
substantial Cotton Fabrics grew up and flour
ished under the stringent Protection afforded
to our Cotton Manufactures by the Tariffs of
1915, 1924, 1925 and 1912. Our tea-ships used
to 20 out laden with the Cotton Fabrics of
Massachusetts and Rhode Island, made under
duties more Protective, all things considered,
than those now in operation.
Why is it, then, that We no longer export
Fabrics to China and in fact export but few
to any quarter
Partly because, while all our energies and
means were concentrated upon the War for
the Union, and while our Foreign Commerce
was given to the flames by Great Britains
Alabamas, 0retos, and Shenandoahs, we lost
that trade to the British; and it is far easier
to lose trade than to regain it. But our loss
is partly caused also by the continued imitation
of our Currency, which makes everything dear
with us, and cOunteTacts Qn our vicw) the
natural influence of Protective duties. This
imitation gTavely increases the cost of Home
Production, as Protection does not. And it is
the West, not the East, that insists on keeping
our Currency inflated and irredeemable.
We ask The Gazeite's attention to the follow
ing extracts from the private letter of citi-
zen of Iowa, which reached us simultaneously
with its article. Our friend says:

continued imitation, to their immense injury.
