The key to the safe which we kept our securities
was locked inside of our ire-proof book safe, the

they obtained the key to the other safe and opened
it. Fortunately we had one of your Burglar-PrOof
Bankers Chests inside, in which valuabes were
deposited. This they went to work at with will,
and evidently used up all their time and tools in vain
attempts to force it. The night dark and stormy,
and the fact OF their knowing where our key
kept shows that their plans well maured. They
tried wedging the door and body Of the Chest AID
the faithful safe bears evidence Of the labor and skill
devoted to the work. All useless and it is with
great satisfaction we report that upon opening it
found securities all Sae and therefore cheer

You will please send the new safe purchased by US

THE REVOLUTION IN CUBA.

from the ". \, Herald.
The recent authoritative announcements from
Havana that the insurreetion is almost at an end,
render an examination of the positions occupied
by the combatants at the last adyices from the
respective localities matter of some interest.
We shall therefore give cursory review of the
facts as they present themselves promising only
That, from the nature of the territory and the
absence OF communication with the insurgent
forces, our deductions are based entirely on
spanish accounts. Practically the war now ex-
lstng In Cuba Is carried on in five separate and
dlstinct DISTRICTS with little communication or
cooperation between them on the part of the
insurgents and independent command on the
part OF the Spaniards. These are the district of
Villa Clara generally known in Cuba as the dis
trict, OF the five towns the district of Santi Espi-
ritu that of Puerto Principe, the first named
comprising the west srn limit of the insurrection
and the last that of the operations of General
Cespedes in the eastern portion of the Island
after his retreat from Bayamo, the original seat
of the movement.
The Villa Clara district was the last to become
involved in the revolutionary movement. and
from its proximity to the capital has received
more prompt and energetic attention from the
Government than the more distant sections. The
elements for the insurrectionary movement were
gathered principally from the jurisdictions OF
Cienfuegos and Trinidad, and the prompt arrival
of troops from Havana caused the retreat of the
newly formed bands to the mountains lying
north of Trinidad. and which place at last ac,
counts they are said 10 be threatening. Although

WHAT Is NEEDED.
N the National Iltelligencer.


We hope to see in the struggle before the
people this fall in the great States, and in Con-
gress next winter, bolder and more resolute
stand made against the iniquity of the party in
power. The opposition in Congress has been so
far entirely too tame The conservatives there
have not acted as if they felt the truths they
were uttering, or had any just sense of the de-
testable acts that 1t their business to oppose
They went through their work as If these diff
ferences were merely political, like those of old
times, when q man might be Democrat or Whig
without impeachment of his patriotism or
character We deny utterly that the struggle
to reform this Government, to purify it, and
crush out the tyranny that afflicts the land, is
of such a nature There can be no compro-
mise with this evil. The times demand the
spirit of a Hampden and of the men who
fought the struggle of 1776 against the
crown. What we want now is courage and
bold championship. If men are to come here
rs mild protestants against this tyranny,
and then hob-nob pleasantly and fraternally
with the authors of all this calamity and foul
tyranny, then they have mistaken their vocation
The people want bolder utterance. In the
House of Representatives we specially recall, as
answering best to the temper we desire to see,
Mr.. Eldridge, of Wisconsin, and Mr.. Burr, of
Illinois. In the Senate Mr.. Sprague has spoken
most boldly in denuncatiOn of this vile tyranny;
he has spoken and acted as if he was really in
earnest. 1t is this that has done so much to
make his speeches popular. We thank him for
bis example. He addressed himself directly to
the men who sat opposite in the chamber, who
had brought this shame and ruin on the country.
He went right up to his adversary and struck
his shield in the centre. This pluck is just what
the people want. Let this example be taken up,
and this battle with usurpation will not last long.
In this connection we must do justice to General
Blair, our late candidate for Vice-President.
He from the first has realized that we have
to deal with revolutionary party, and that they
must be met with determination to put them
down. He has never quailed; he has never hesi-
tated to call these men and their tyranny by
their right names, and to-day he is perhaps more
feared and hated by these radicals than any other
person in America. These leaders know well
whom TO dread. They know that the class Of
gentlemen who in their daily lives and style Of
speech confound the distinctions of vice and
virtue are not the sort of men by whom the radi
cal leaders will be brought to their doom
Against all such they feel secure, and they
therefore, call them publicly their friends.
We repeat, that the conservatives, if they wan
to regain liberty and restore tho Constitution
must hunt about for the bravest and most reso
lutte champions of the cause they can find
Courage and will should be the first and the las
qualifications they should insist on.

ship. Mr. Laird, too undoubtedly thought that,
since the proclamation put Che Confederate
States and the United States on an equality in
Liverpool (as IL did, II therefore made them
equal in the eye Of international law--which II
most certainly did not. All this does not pre-
vent us from hating the British public in gene
ral and Mr.. Laird in particular, to our hearts
content; but IL will not help us to sustain a COM
plant under international law. Why, we our
selves are forced to maintain, in q logical argu-
ment, that the proclamation neither gave, nor
could possibly have given, nationality to a ship
pretending to be Confederate privateer, issuing
from an English port. That is to say, the true
view is that the Alabama was never Confede-
rate privateer at all. SO far are concerned,
she was a British ship and nothing else and
that is precisely why our claim OF indemnify
holds good
The ground, therefore, on which we can main
tain our claim that England has violated inter-
national law is obvious. The Alabama was
vessel which never acquired any nationality.
Certainly the Queens proclamation, as has been
shown never gave her any; and Mr.. Sumner has
conclusvely established that our own Govern
ment did not accord q status of nationality to
the Confederacy by merely proclaiming block
ade of Southern ports, since the last was, like
the English proclamation ITSELF a recognition OF
belligerency only according to the fact. And
yet q vessel, which never was q Confederate
priyateer, sailed from England as naval base,
in hostile expedition against the United States.
This point Mr.. Sumner has forcibly made in the
Senate, and John Stuart Mill had made it pre-
viously in Parliament. The British Government
became responsible under international law, for
piratical cruiser thus hailng from its ports; 1t
has been responsible for her every movement
from that day to this; and yet, instead of in
craft of no nation, she was afterwards actually
received and refitted rs history tells us, in Eng
lish colonial ports, and she thence continuedher
devastating career.

II GROWTH OF OUR COUNTRY.

FfONb tHc ~. II . LFtOuf1es
The ninth census is to be taken little more
than year hence and already speculation is
active as to its results. Will our past ratio of
increase In population be maintained in view of
our fearful losses by the late civil war; We
think 1t cannot be. In our judgment, this coun-
try has now one million fewer inhabitants than
1t would have had but for that war; and our
losses are not yet complete, since the untmely
death of so many mainly young and vigorous
men is certain to reduce the number of births in
the next and even the subsequent decade. II is
said that FAR fewer children are born than
formerly because of the reluctance of wives to
assume the perils and cares of maternity; but we
hope to learn that the prevalence Of this feeling
has been much exaggerated. I3sf
The talk of New England having few children
born than those of foreign parentage has just
this basis:--Hah of the young men and a full
third of the young women of New England
parentage migrate--wander off--''go West
and their offspring figure in the census returns
of Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, etc., while Europeans
in youthful vigor replace the ''sons of the pill
grims' in their ancestral seats and bear children
to be enumerated at Boston, Providence, Lowell,
and our Manchester. We cannot believe that
the vigor or the virtue of the old New England
stock has departed. ..
The late Elkanah Watson, writing in 1915
on the progress of population in the United
States, said:--
In 1910 it was 7,239,sO3. The increase from $780,
the first census under the Constitution, has been
about one-third OF each census. Admitting that IL
Will continue to increase in the same RATIO the result
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1869-04-29

1t will be seen that the calculation, though
surprisingly near the actual result, runs little
ahead at last, though Texas had been annexed
and New Mexico and California conquered
meantime, as Louisiana had been q few years
before Mr.. Watson wrote. Deduct all that we
gained by these extensions of territory and our
population in 1860 would have fallen very con-
siderably short of the estimate, though we be-
ieve it was then overstated. That census--or
at least, good part of twas taken by persons
whose compensation was based on the numbers
returned; hence strong temptation to exagger-
ate. We believe the population of this city (for
instance) was made 100, 900 more than it actually
was. We hope to see extraordinary pains taken
next year. the lists returned carefully scrutinized
and revised, and all persons who shall suppose
they have failed to be enumerated or have been
enumerated twice publicly invited to make them
selves manifest.
We judge that our population in 1870, fairly
enumerated, will fall considerably below Mr..
Watsons estimate, though it will somewhat
exceed forty millions. That, unless reinforced
by future anneyations, it will in 1900 fall con-
siderably below one hundred millions cannot
reasonably be doubted.
