THE NEW REVOLUTION IN CUBA.

From the ~ Y. Tribune.
The failure, if not the actual collapse, of
Spanish government in Cuba no longer ad-
mts of question. Havana and Genfuegos
have Just seen the beginning of the end-the
general disntegration and crumbling away of
whatever morality remained to the Spaniards
in the island, with the dissipation of those
bombastic assurances which have been de-
hiding them and the world in the name of
what they are wont to call the territorial in
tegrity. Spanish honor, too, and what the
late Captain General was pleased to call the
pride of CASTLE, have undergone a fatal sham
ng and manning in its insular member. Both
the integrity of territory and State, and we
might add society and the army, is NOR
tally assailed in the latest news. 1t looks as
no sound part remained in the Spanish pos
session, and as if the physical collapse and
near death of the dismissed and almost fugi-
! tive Captain General were simultaneous with

THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT

GEhllIs
From the NJ y. Times
The fifteenth amendment is in fresh peril.
This time it is not from reluctant legislatures
that the danger comes but from new and
unexpected quarter-in short, from the
Womans Bureau. The last regular weekly
meeting of the National Woman's Suffrage
Association took open grounds against the
measure in question: and resolution offered
by Miss Anthony was carried declaring that
''we repudate the fifteenth amendment, be-
cause by its passage in Congress the Repub-
Gcan party proposes to substitute an aristo-
cracy of race. the most odious distinction in
citizenship that has yet been proposed since
nations had an existence" SO, that was the
little game of Congressman, was it ? And we,
the people, until the Bureau enlightened US,
never saw what they were up to. 1t makes
one start to think, with such revelations what
possible traps and artful engnery OF evil
may lie concealed under the most innocent
and apparently benevolent schemes. But, OF
course, now that the secret mlchination of
the fifteenth amendment has been exposed by
these faithful new guardians of our rights;
now that we know that what was apparently
meant to protect the oppressed and help them
on in life, really aims at the ''most odious
distinction ever proposed since nations had
an existence, of course we shall take the back
track at once. The only question is, Is it not
too late for us to rescind our several State
approvals?

FRANK BLAIR's PROPHECY.
A Fair Prospect of its FulflIment

General Blair charged that General
Grant, if elected, would turn the Presiden-
tial chair into throne. Nobody believed
this assertion. 1t was received as an utter
ance which, originating in the heat of dis
cussion, was indicative only of fear Of
Grants general policy. rather than as be
ing liable to specific aud literal conssruc-
ton.
There is, as yet nothing which particu
larly supports the. literal meaning Of Gen
Blair's charge, unless one be disposed to
be an alarmist. Were one Of the latter
character, he might attach certain amount
of significance to some prominent occur
rences of Grants short administration
Thus, he might argue somewhat as follows:
1. The appointment over Thomas of an
INSCRIPTIONS instrument like Sheridan, is
indicative of some bad project.
2. Sherman, the successor of Grant rs
commander of the army of the United
States, is known to be an incorporating
monarchist.
3. Grant is filing a majority of the Off
cial positions with relatives, personal
friends and his immediate retainers.
a. Grant is disposed 10 push our rela-
tons with Cuba and Great Britain to the
verge of war. and, in so doing, gives rise
to the suspicion that he wishes to create
an army upon whose support he can rely
for the carrying out of some Interior and
sinister project.
Of course, these assertions are those Of
an alarmist. Grant is of the people. Grsnt
was elected by party that is SO governed
by conscience, so devoted to the interests
of God and humanity, so full of sympathy
for the poor people. that it would never per-
nit him to commit the crime of over
throwing the republic Chicago Times.

The leading Southern railroads, to the

cents per mile. Most of the hotels along
the route have also agreed to give a large
disc on their charges to holders of ex-
cursion tickets, while actual settlers will
be transported to their destination for one
cent per mile.
This is the most practical movement
which has been made forward turning the
tide of emigration into a channel which

declaration for the repeal Of the civil tenure
act. The contest was long and exciting,
but Butler beat Bingham by twenty nine
majority on the motion to non-concur in

now ask for conference, which it is be-

suit will be that the old law will stand
