Our earnest belief is that all men are
brethren. Hence our love of liberation,
order and justice in every respect. We
desire the gradual abolition of slavery,
with indemnifications we admire uni
versal suffrage, as it insures the sover-
eighty of the people; we demand re-
igious regard for the inaliable rights
of man as the basis of freedom and ma
tional greatness"
| Such are the facts showing the OPP
preston of Cuba and her efforts to be
free up to the 10th of October last Since
then the Cuban liberating army has
been gradually increasing, notwith-
standing the losses consequent upon a
steady campaign, and now comprises
some AZ 600 men, under &. NJ. Cespedes,
who is Commander in Chief of that
army, and the head of the Republican
Government, duly established within
the lines of the Liberators. Their lines
run in a westerly direction from the
easter end of the Island to Sagua la
Grande, without reaching the seaboard,
either north or south, for want of the
requisite armament to hold it. But the
territory pointed out is two-thirds ofthe
area of Cuba, in which slavery has been
abolished, and in which the Spanish
control only the ground where they are
kept at bay. This has been done by
the patriots in II comparatively short
time, notwithstanding their sad defic-
iency i'll war material, and leads to the
belief that if they had been tolerably
we'll supplied with such materials, their
movements would now cover also the
remainder of the island, where no up
rising has yet taken place from utter
want of arms, while their enemies are
fully armed with the best approved
weapons of the United States. But
such are our neutrality laws. They
allow European power to obtain war
material freely from our workshops to
crush a people struggling for freedom
hibit the same people from supplying
themselves with similar materials from
US to carry on their struggle against
that Power. Yet the Spanish hirelings
in their Misrepresentation of the Gu
ban revolution frequently assert
through their editorial columns and
otherwise that the laws referred to had
been violated. Let them bear in mind
that from the foregoing statement Of
facts no other conclusion can be drawn
but that Cuba is fairly started on her
way to national independence; that
her sons have been manfully fighting
for these six months, without having
yet violated any neutrality, despite
their lack of arms, and are therefore
entitled to the earnest sympathy of our
people. and the more SO as their strug-
giles involves a great American princi-
Pile, namely, that no European Power
shall longer control any country upon
this hemisphere. n. VALIENTE.

LARGE NosEs.-The epoch of Louis
QuartorZe was the epoch of great men,
great ideas, great things: because it was
the epoch of large noses. The epoch
of the regency, on the contrary, was
the epoch of little men, little art. little
everything, because it was the epoch of
little noses, Of snub noses, of turned
up noses. The nose is the rudder of
the human frame, only placed in front.
With long straight nose, one marches
direct TO his goal, without looking to
the right hand or to the left but with
a short nose, squat nose, or a nose
turned up, one advances by lacking in
a zigZag line, fiuttering to and fro like
a butterfly. This is the reason why
children, grisettes, and negroes have no
stability of character, in fact have no
character at all, but cry and sing with
out cause and just as chance directs
them. All the generals of the order of
Jesuits have been long nosed to a man.
The order, indeed, is only recruited
from men with long noses. All found
ers of empires and systems have been
remarkable for their long straight noses,
such as Alexander. the MacedoiIians,
Augustus Caesar, Napoleon, Aristotle,
Moses, Mohammed, and Ignatius Logo
Ia Socrates, indeed, had little TO boast
of in this respect, but his favorite dis
eiple. Plato, made up for this deficiency.
and had nose enough for both.

the effect that both of the Peruyisn iron
clad monitors, which recently left Psnsa-
cola, are now ia tile, service Of, the Cuban
insurgents. The war vessels were formerly
in the United States nusy, and were known
as the Catawba and Oneota. They are tur-

iron plate, and carry each two fifteen-inch
guns. One of them was lying at Ragged
Island. ut last accounts, awaiting supply
of coal from Nissan. The other is believed
to be in the vicinity of Manzanillo, on the

insurgents were massing their forces Oh the

a large eultion Vi 0oV. OglesDys message
was promptly ordered to be printed by both
houses--in English, German and Norwegian :;
but Gov. Planners message was allowed to lie
on the table two days without word being
said about printing it, and nothing would
probably have been said about it during the
session had not the democrats finally taken
the matter in hand. In the senate, Mr.. Epler,
DEM, said it was usual for the Governors pc
litical friends to make the motion to print his
message, but a. the friends of Gov Palmer
seemed indisposed TO make the motion, he
would move that $4,000 copies be printed in
English and 5000 in German. Mr.. Lord, rep,
jumped up and moved to cut dawn the num-
Der to 1000. An amusing debate followed.
when the number was reduced to $4,000 in
English and 5000 in German, and thus adopt
ed by voted of IL to IL, the Lieut.. Governor
giving his casting vote in the affirmative. In
the house, on the same day, Mr.. tanning, dem,
from Menard, moved the printing of $4,000
in England and 5000 in German. Mr.. Voris,
dem, eulogzed the message. Mr., Kerr, rad,
attacked it, condemning its state right doc
trines. However, the resolution passed, with
the addition Of 1000 copies in Norwegian and

Fox River Valley R. r.

What about it? The air is full Of rumors
con the subject, but nobody seems able to give
amy information, and we suspect the main rea.
son is, that there is very little to give. Our
railroad has been made u shuttlecOck between
the Northwestern, Burlington and the Rock
Island r. r. corporations, all of which profess
great friendship for it, hut none thus far show
ing disposition to mar fest that friendship
in the solid form of iron rails. 1t is now said,
however, that the dire y of the Burlington
,or Northwestern in \, York City are inclin-
ed to do something, and have telegraphed the
Officers of the Fox River Hey Il. II. to come
.on to New York for consu alton This much
.of the report at least Is true, that the officers
of the F. r.. V. r.. r. lure gone to New York
in pursuance of a telegraphic summons.
The natural ally of the Fox River V. Il. r.
lis the Northwestern. That mammoth corpor-
alton consumes at least 1000 tons of coal day,
for which it now pays from 81 to $40 per ton,
snainly to the Burlington and Rock Island
Roads. The Fox r. v. X. II. could deliver
Vermilion coal, better article than the Burl-
tngton and Rock Island roads take to Chicago,
at convenient distributing point fer the
Northwestern, at about So per ton. The in
cerest of the Northwestern in the road is
thus direct and palpablc.
The interest of the other two big corpor-
;ations is only the indirect one, Of retaning con-
troll of the coal trade. If the Fox X. Valley
II. r. must be built, they want to control it
but they would prefer that it should not be
built.
There il enough subscribed along the line
.of the road to grade and bridge it, Ten years
ago, when railroad had attained that point,
there was no difficulty in exchanging the
stock of the road for iron and equipments.
Things are changed now. Iron can only be
bought for cash. The Burlington folks will
give the Fox River Valley Road the iron only
when they see that if they don't supply the
iron somebody else will. The Northwestern
ought to give that iron Immediately. 1t is the
best investment they could make, and will be
best for the Fox River Valley road. for it will
not then be controlled by rival read.
