THE CASE or CUBA.


Whether Justly or mistakenly, the Hon. Charles
Sumner. since his speech at the Massachusetts,
State Convention ten weeks ago, has been re-
garded as the leading opponent of the recognl-
ton by our Government of the fact that
state of war exists in the neighbOring island
of Cuba, where powerful party is struggling
for independence of Spain. Assuming only
that what is universally understood, on the
faith of Mr.. Summers own deliberate utter
ances must have some groundwork OF truth.
we call that statesman's attention to the fol-
lowing facts:
/. The revolution (rebellion, instruction, or
whatever you may choose to call i) IN Cuba
is still active and defiant. Sixteen months have
passed since the independence of Cuba was for
mally proclaimed, and a resolution evinced to
maintain it by force Of arms, yet it is to-day
more formidable in area, in military force, and
in It's external relationships and aspects, than
it then was Meantime, we have been osten-
tatiOuSly advised of the dispatch of expedition
after expedition from Spain, expressly to put
it down; and loan which strained Spanish
credit to the utmost has been negotiated and
spent leaving it difficult to say how 80 much
more money can be raised for prosecuting this
exhausting, ruinOus contest
III. Nearly or quite year has passed since
the new Liberal Spanish Constitution was
framed and perfected 1t expressly guarantees
the right of all Spaniards to political and re-
ligious liberty. The Republicans demanded an
express Introduction of Slavery, but were
voted down on the assumption that this would
be ridiculous tautology-that the general guar
anty aforesaid precluded the holding of any
one in bondage-that the popular adoption of
this Constitution would render Slavery thence
forth impossible. Yet, though the Constitution
was ratified nearly year ago, Slavery is still
maintained wherever the Spanish flag floats in
the West Indies And, if we can understand
the new formula of Government imposed on
Porto Rico, a determination Is evinced by
Spain not TO allow the existence of Slavery to
be even discussed or questioned.
ILL., On the other hand the evidence that the
anti-Spanish Cubans have actually abolished
Slavery, to the utmost limit Of their power,
seems to us no longer questionable. Procla-
nations, DEGREES, and positive acts of all kinds,
combine to form demonstration which he who
resists might as well doubt that there is any
such isle as Cuba. ......
We might proceed to argue that, since our
own abolition of Slavery, the policy of this
country necessarily favors Emancipation
throughout this hemisphere. but can it be
needed2

OCEAN TELKGRAPHY.

The fact that Holland has granted TO an
American an exclusive right to connect that
country with America by an Ocean Cable once
more brings to view the urgent necessity which
already existed for an international agreement,
treaty, or code, regulating the whole subject
of Ocean Tclegraphy. The laying of one line
across another; the protection of cables in
comparatively shoal water from injury by an
chors or their tackle; the comfy to be observed
between nations in the matter of concessions
and privileges the use of cables by belligerents
and their immunity Cor otherwise) from de-
structiOn as a measure of precautiOn or positive
hostility-these and many more points, should
be promptly covered by compact, drawn up
by eminent publicists and ratified by all civil
lied powers. This should be done before the
outbreak of another war between maritime
powers, or calamities to civilization may result
from its absence.
The King of Holland, we understand and be-
lieve, gave to an American his only concession
of right to land an Ocean Cable on the coast
of his Kingdom as an earnest of his good will
to this country and as such let it be received
and accepted. We further learn that European
capitalists stand ready to lay the Cable if
Americans do not choose to furnish the means.
Very good; let us have this Cable, and
dozen more, if those who have the means
choose to lay them. We presume that one re-
suit of their multiplication will be rapid and
vast increase of kilograms across the Atlantic,
based of course on general reduction of
charges. If the time shall come-and why mott
when SIS or G1 gold shall pay for sending
ten words in ten minutes from America tO
Europe or Europe to America, dozen cables
may be kept steadily transmitting messages at
least sixteen of every twenty -four hours for
over three hundred days per annum. And
then, If any particular cable should get out of
order, it will only be necessary to work the
Others an hour or two longer per day, aud
the business will all be done promptly and to
general satisfaction.
But one point is VITAL and we are sure our
Government will insist on it with regard to
every cable landed on any part of our coast
that of perfect Reciprocity. Whatey"r "oun-

Dr. David Livingstone, in the exceedingly
interesting letter which We print on another
page confirms all that has been reported to us
10y cable of the value of his recent discoveries.
1t is his belief that the Niles chief sources
rise between 10 degrees and 10 degrees south
latitude, or 400 miles southwark of the more
southern part of the Victoria Nyanza. His finding
of a chain of lakes connected by rivers far to
the south of Lake Tanganyika has encouraged
linn in this view. the further realization of
which will. as Dr. Livingstone promises, and as
Sir ROderick Murchison believes, settle the
question of the final sources of that mysterious
river To solve one of the greatest problems
of geography is an exploit worthy of hero,
and no one better deserves to do it than the
brave Englishman who has claimed already a
continent for his fame.

THE FRENCH ELECTIONS.

AS was confidently expected, the supple
mentary elections in Paris, held on uncontested
ground where Radical result was assured.
have passed off without disorder. Unless Ma
poleon's return to Paris yesterday was calcu-
lated to inspire a violent peryersion OF tho
result, Sundays elections have resulted in
overwhelming Radical triumphs. The candi-
dates who have succeeded to the majolities
left in the four voting circumscriptions by
Messrs. Gambetta, Bancel, Ernest Picard, and
Jules Simon, when they elected to sit for
other districts, have come, as it were, into tho
possession of large political fortunes. The
question in these districts does not lie in
rivalry between the Government and the
opposition. but is merely as to which of tho
MANY Radical and Liberal candidates have
been chosen.
M. Henri Rochefort, the most bitterly earnest
Republican in France, may, from all appear
ances, indisputably count upon great majority
in crcumscripton which formerly gave to NJ.
Gambetta 1900, and may give him more. A
man whose character has not yet been thor
oughly described nor estimated, who confronts
perfdy with applicability. and fraud with
lampoons, will henceforth be among Napoeon's
legislative critics. The aggressive and trenchant
wit, who declared that Napoleon was in insurrec-
ton against France, cannot be deemed inslgnih-
cant, whatever estimate of his traits and talents
comes to us from English admirers OF govern
ment by strangulation. If N. Rochefort haa
nothing moro to do than to expend sarcasm on
hitherto susceptible Empire. his mission In
France cannot be uninteresting. The character
of his recent speeches, his intense and unds'
guised contempt of the power to whose safe
guard he declares he owes nothing, and whose
hostility he defes excite us to wonder that
having been foolish enough to keep linn out
of France, the Government of Napoleon
should be shrewd enough to tolerate him
now. NJ. Rochefort might have done moro
harm in Brussels than in Paris; but wherever
he may be his influence Is measurable, and
Napoleon may reckon exactly what he has to
fear from one richly endowed with hate and
wit, and with no want of gall to make oppression
bitter. The resolve of NJ. Rochefort To take
the oath indicates, however, less violent, and
therefore perhaps more dangerous. conclusions
among the ultra Radicals than were calculated
n few months ago.

THE1TRICAL THIEVING.

A great many theatrical managers appear to
be thieves-having no more respect for each
others rights of property than so many avowed
and habitual pickpockets. They do not violate
the statute laws, it is true-exceptng when they
can do SO with perfect impunity; but for those
obligations which are imposed on gentlemen
by the plain, unmistakable, and indisputable
laws of honor, they seem to have no sort Of
respect. Instances of this kind of dishonesty
are so common that % new one scarcely seems
worthy of mention. To illustrate these re-
marks, however, by case in point, we note
the fact that manager, named Aiken, In
Chicago, has just been restrained by an injunc-
ton from playing Tom Taylors drama of Mary
"Warner,"-whch is the property-purchased
and paid for-of Miss Bateman just as much her
property as the garments she wears or the
purse in her pocket. Because. however, the
play was written by an Englishman, citizen
Of London, and because there is no law TO pro-
tect his copyright in this country, the Chicago
manager thinks that he can seize Miss Bate
mans property and cOniiscate 1t to his own
use. This, TO our mind, is clear case of theft.
Miss Bateman. we understand. paid Mr. Tom
Taylor f400 for the drama of Mary Warner
with the exclusive privilege of playing it during a
period of five years. The piece was never
printed and never published the public
performance of it be regarded as publication.
If any copy of it is in existence, other than
that owned and possessed by Miss Bateman,
it has been procured through breach of trust
Yet the Chicago manager brings out the play =
knowing perfectly well that, in honor and
equity, he has no more right to take it than
he has to take Miss Batemans watch. He has
been sued under the common proprietary law,
and the case will shortly come to trial. Re-
Numbering the result of the "Caste" case
tried some time ago In this city-we have
grave doubts whether Miss Bateman's right of
property will be protected. A right of prop
erty it nevertheless is, definite, indisputable
acquired by purchase with tho money that
Miss Bateman toiled to earn. We put out
Of consideration all pettifogging legal quib-
bes. This is case for justice. Courts OF law
may not be able to administer it. They seldom
are, in this part of the world. But theatrical
managers can DO just and it is time they were
reminded of that simple duty. If they will 30
on practicing meanness and fraud, wherever
the absence of direct legislation renders it safe
for them to do so, they cannot wonder that
their profession is despised or their names dis
