very few acres of land, cultivated with the

THE CHINESE MISSION.

AS was anticipated, the reports that come
from Hong Kong and Shanghai about the re-
lection of the Burlingame treaty by the
Chinese authorities, have been branded as a
falsehood, manufactured out of the whole
cloth. MIR. j. Ross Browne denies that the
treaty was rejected, and states that it's ratifi-
cation was only deferred until the return of
the Embassy. Mr.. Burlingame for his part,
has telegraphed to our Government that it
was well understood by him and explained to
Z MIR. Seward and others, that none of the
treaties which he might conclude with foreign
powers would be ratified by the Chinese Gov
ernment until his return. During his visit
to the United States he had interviews with
prominent inventors and railroad men, and
made arrangements for them to visit China on
his return, explaining to them that it would
he useless to commence business operations
until the treaties were approved.
Mr.. j. Ross Browne, withregard to the per-
sonal charges brought against himself, denies
that he has ever disparaged Mr.. Burlingame
or his embassy, or attempted in any way to
interfere with their functions. He, however,
thinks that the old law of force will alone IN
iuence the Chinese Government, or make II
respect the rights of foreigners, thus sustain
ing the opinions which he expressed IN his
ill-advised address to the Shanghai traders

he is not the right man to be entrusted VIII

THE CUBAN POLTCY OF THE AD-
MINIS7 RA TION.

The many rumors which have been circulated
from time to time declaring that the admin
istration proposed to buy Cuba from Spain,
or endorse Cuban bonds, are now positively
denied on apparently good authority. The
main feature of Grants domestic policy is
close attention to the collection of the reve-
nues, and the dismissal of superfluous
officials and the beneficial results of this
policy would speedily be neutralized if money
was to be saved in our own country only to
replenish the treasury of Spain.
1t is alleged that General Sickles has been
instructed to request the recognition of Cuban
independence, with the understanding that an
impartial commission is to place just valua-
tiOn upon the governmental buildings, forts,
and other public property which would ebe
turned over to the revolutionists, and that
the latter are to pay this sum to the mother
country.
This is plain, common sense way of set
tling the difficulty, which deserves considera-
ton, whether it has been officially suggested
or not, and it would promote the real inte-
rests of all parties. The greatest obstacle to
its adoption will arise from Spanish pride,
and when we remember how hostile the loya
portion of the American people were to every
form of foreign intervention as well as to
the disintegration of the Republic during our
own contest, we need not be astonished at the
reluctance of the successors of Ferdinand
and Isabella to surrender, at our bidding, the
last jewel in the mighty diadem of colonial
possessions which were won three centuries
ago.
Reason and policy, however, rather than
tradition, now control the practical move.
ments of mankind. The new rulers Of Spain
are so sadly beset with difficulties at home
that they have few soldiers and no money to
spare for protracted conflict abroad, and il
Cuba is to continue to be, as at present, an
elephant on their hands, they cannot afford to
keep her, and every dollar rescued from the
wreck will be a clear gain.

to win him over to their interests, and his
conduct proves the wisdom of Grants ad-
ministration in ordering his prompt recall.
MIR. Brownies failure, too, proves the necessity
for sending out a clear-headed and practical
statesman to occupy Mr., Burlingame's posi-
tion-one who will have no prejudices to
crafty, and who will exert himself to pro-
mote friendly feelings between the two coun-
tries. 1t is evident that the President is fully
impressed with the importance of this mis-
sion, and that his delay in appointing a sue
cessor to Mr.. Browne is caused by the diff
Guilty of finding the right man for the place.
Among the candidates who have been men
toned is Colonel William b. Mann, and we
scarcely think that the President could make
a better selection. Mr.. Mann has ability
and energy, and in such an Office as this he
would have no friends to reward or enemies
to punish. There are good reasons
why Mr.. Mann should have this appoint
ment. He is a pupil of William B. Reed,
fully posted in all the ideas of that gentle
man with regard to Chinese policy, and he
would seem to be the properest person in the
world to occupy the only position in which
NIL INt6u ever ulu ulIlSeu InuCQ Cr6ulJ. we
hope that the President will nominate Mr..
Mann to the Chinese mission, and if he can
also manage to send out with him General G.
h. T. Coils as Secretary of Legation,
he will provide for gallant soldier, who
thinks that his services have not been
sufficiently rewarded and at the same time
do favor to the Republicans of Pennsylva-
mia that will ever be most gratefully remem-
bered. The Chinese have the reputation of
being a shrewd cunning, and far-reaching
people, but if they can get ahead of Mann
and Coils In any way, they will show more
sharpness than they have ever yet had credit
for. BY all means let the President send
these two gentlemen out to China: it would
seem as if the mission were specially devised
for them, so well fitted are they for it.
The Chinese mission is one that would do
Mr.. Mann honor, and that he would be
proud to accept; and Mr.. Coils would un-
doubtedly jump at the chance of going along
as Secretary of legation The President does
not have an opportunity like this every day,
to kill two birds with one stone, and we hope
that he will avail himself of it,

THE SABINE HOAX.

TIE terrific story about the mutiny on board
of the practice ship Sabine at Cherboufg, and
the execution of six of the conspirators at the
yard-arm, turns out to be a gigantic canard.
A note from the Americgn legation in Paris
pronounces the story to be utterly without
foundation. If the matter is investigated it
will probably be discovered, as we suggested
yesterday, that the whole affair is the inven-
ton of the midshipmen attached to the Sabine
for the purpose of hoaxing some inquisitive
picker-up of items at Cherbourg These
young gentlemen probably had little idea that
their blood-thirsty yarn would unwind itself
clear across the Atlantic, and it is not difficult
to imagine their felicity when they discover
the sensation it created here. The whole
story was SO manifestly improbable, not to say
impossible, that it is matter for surprise
that the Associated press agent did not take
some little pains to discover the truth before
sending it over the cable. But the European
news collectors, as we know by repeated ex-
periences, are not the brightest witted indi-
viduals in the world, and this particular gen.
tleman seems to have swallowed hook, bait,
line, sinker, fshing-rod, and all, without hest
tation.

cause the President who happens to be
swinging round the circle" just at present
has some regard for decency and propriety.
He does not stop at every town that lies in his
path to get off an inane political TRADE, to
abuse the coordinate branches of the Govern
ment, to handy words with roughs and raga-
mullins, and to make himself generally dis
grace to the country. That's the reason why
none of the radical papers see fit to abuse
the President for endeavoring to keep cool in
