WAR, PEsTrLESoE AND FAMINE. Diseases
incident to the climate and the season are
already raging in Cuba, and the camps of both
sides suffer. Cholera, dysentery and the
vomito may not subdue the resolve Of the
Cubans to be free, but no resolve Of less moral
grandeur than this can withstand such forces,
and we suspect they will subdue the desire Of
the Spaniards for power and dominion. Soon
In Cuba the war will subside to such state Of
suspended animation as we observe in the war
of Spain with the South American republics.

General Graus's Administration.

The country papers are still discussing the
question whether General Grants administra-
tion thus far has been a success or a failure.
The Brockport Republic, one of the most re-
spectacle republican organs In the western
part Of this State, remarks that General
Grant evidently made a mistake In accepting
q present whiie his name was before the pub
accepted the gift Of house he put him self
under obligations 10 the donors. When at the
latter period some OF those donors are re-
warded with high aud profitable Offices IL
becomes a very difficult IL not impossible task
to satisfy the public that they are not bestowed
General Grant may be regarding the matter
his acceptance Of q present from certain per-
sons, and then bestowing Offices on those per-
sons, leaves him open TO a charge prejudicial
to his good name" Added to this Is charge
of ingratitudc against General Grant for his
neglect Of some Of his earliest and warmes.
political friends. But, adds the Republic, 'as
a whole General Grants administration Is thus
far great success" II Is gratifying to learn
this fact after the recapitulation Of SO many Of
the Generals shortcomings. II Is not unlike
garroting man and then expressing contriton
for the act In a court Of justice. We look In
vain among our country exchanges for the
utterance Of any sentiment showing warm
and unconditional support Of the administra-
tion of General Grant. Sofsr ss can be judged
from the expression Of public opinion thus far,
Grants personal popularity prevails chiefly
among oflicc-holdcrs and hostlcrs.

financial and political convulsion, In which the
old stormy discussions Of the jackson and Bid
die period are to be repeated; when the srti-
fciai contrivances and schemes Of the bank
managers to plunder the merchants and the
people will be laid bare; when the political
corruption that now feeds on banking and rail-
road jobs, legislative concessions, land grants,
tax levies and the innumerable paraphernala
OF legislative halls and lobbies will be brought
to account, and whoever shall be found to
blame for any portion of the now growing evils
will be assailed and swept away with all their
proud franchises and privileges. As for the
national banks, they already are obnoxious TO
much just complaint. The extraordinary con-
cessions by which the government pays them
eighteen millions of dollars year in gold with
out service to the country Of any character;
their schemes by which periods of artificial
stringency and relaxation in the money
market are produced for their own profit;
the facilities and stimulus they afford to mid
dlemen in every branch of trade to monopolize
and carry products, for the purpose of fore
stalling consumption and keeping up prices,
and their thousand and one contrivances to
make the rich richer and the poor poorer, are
working steady change in the public mind
against the present banking system. The new
banking organization is for offensive and defen-
sive purposes, and will play an important part
in the future political struggles of the country.
Business is king, and the national banks aim to
be the regent Of the land.

When the sun his rays was shedding
Beaming, cleaning, fairly streaming thro' the
trees;
And watched the streamlet glistening,
As entranced there was listening

When beneath tree reclining
Where no ray of sun was shining

Though no other feature shifted.
Quickly, soon his eyes uplifted.
