Gen. Thomas Jordan. the American leader in
the Cuban revolutiOnists, has addressed an APP
peal to the people of the United States on be-
half of his comrades which we earnestly hope
will not fail of a speedy and hearty response.
Cuba does not need men, though veterans
would be welcome to country the difficulties
and dangers of which to careful men have
been as he says in one of his letters, exagger-
ated. She does need however, shoes, clothing,
and medicines. Hundreds of brave men, he
writes, care standing in my sight almost
naked :" and of the Cubans he says that men
more willing to become soldiers he never saw.
He, too, is witness that it is tho atrocious
habit of the Spaniards to butcher wounded
prisoners. In the letter of Gen. Jordan we
have the positive testimony of distinguished
American officer, and its facts should be laid to
heart by all who are disposed to lend help
ing hand to the gallant men whom Spain
is anxious to Overwhelm with new levies.
Darr, whose announcement is printed with
Gen. JOrdan's appeal, will receive gifts of food
and clothes TO the Cuban cause at No. IS

Prince NapOleOn's late speech was not OF so
extraordinary character that meeting OF
Americans should have taken place in London
to thank him. But especially when honest
speech emanates from prince the Droverb
holds true that we are not to look gift-horse
in the mouth. Ten years ago, says French
opinion reported us by Cable, such speech
would have been courageous, but to-day 1t re-
qured no daring to tell the Senate what every
one but the Senate thinks. True the Prince
is a Bonaparte and not over bold on the I'M
selfish side of affairs; yet it was something
both shrewd and proper that he should lead
and surprise the Senate.

One of those spasms of virtue such as Ma

have fallen upon Paris. On the facade of the

subject of what for Paris might be called q
great deal of moral criticism. Criticism, how

Again The London Times recommends the
abandonment of Cuba by Spain, and we all
know upon what grounds; but the present
tone of the Spanish press permits a belief that
Spain will carry her experiment to It's stupid
extreme, and fatuously play her last card, and
stake her last available dollar, on losing and
wretched game. Prim and Serrano more than
once warned the Cortes, in other days. that the
loss of Cuba was only question of time.
Has not the time comet We can better under
stand the statement that for the last four
months they have been devising the most adj
vantageous terms of surrender, than the white
heat at which the Spanish press are urging a
final desperate effort to save the island. Is the
present demonstration of reinforcement i'll
| tended to evoke a better bargain than has
heretofore been offered 2 or is Marshal Serrano
more fearful of the present temper of the
| Spanish people than of squandering blood and
treasure upon Cuba 4?

We are credibIy informed that certain imam
cers of our City, in combination with European
capitalists, have cOnspired to buy and with
draw from use Thirty Millions of Gold, with
intent to compel those who must pay gold at
the Custom. House or elsewhere to buy OF them
at exorbitant rates.
We call upon the Secretary of the Treasury
TO take the needful steps to ascertain the 1actS'
and, if there be such combination, to use the
mower lodged in his hands as the pubic
good requires. The Treasury has goid
to sell--a good pile of it-and 1t Is
the Secretary's duty to sell 1t when
the market is highest. If, then, the conSpIra-
tors nut ND the price of gold. let him I'M
prove the opportunity to obtain such price for
"a many Millions of that commodity "a the
market will take. And. to preclude all pre-
tense that he thereby makes money green

lie sells gold so as to leave the money market
wholly unaffected.
Mr. Boutwell, can surely ascertain that such
conspiracy does or does not exist. If 1t does
we submit that his duty is plain and impera-
tive--to sell gold so long as the market VIII
take it, and invest the proceeds in bonds.

Cardinal Cullen is a prelate who has never
made virtue of moderation, and his letter on
the National Schools. of which we publish the
substance this morning, proves that he keeps
alive in old age all the fire of his youth. In
the dispute on the education question between
the Catholics of Ireland and the British Gov
eminent, he has always taken the extreme po-
sitiOn on the Roman side, and it was by his
opposition to the system of mixed education
that he first made himself conspicuous and
paved the way for his present elevation. This
latest illumination from the cathedral throne is
not as one of the New-YOrk papers declared,
an attack upon single establishment in Dub
lin, but deliberate assault upon the whole
system of education in Ireland. The Irish
hierarchy in general seem ready to take part
in it, and their cry now is, No compromise
with Protestants, but separate schools for
Catholic children and distinct religious training.
This is the same demand which the Catholics
of New-York made in their assault upon the
Common Schools in 1910 under Bishop Hughes,
and the same demand which they have recently
shown disposition to renew. Yet, strange to
say, at this very time the Roman Catholic
Archbishop of Cincinnati seems to be moving
in the opposite direction and has made over
lures to the Board of Education for an accom-
mediation of the old quarrel and consolidation

Dictator Lopez is made subject of contra
diction by two ex-Ministers of the United
States. Gen. Mcmahon denies that he is the
hyena reported; Mr.. Washbun reasserts that
he is tiger. We have not at hand the full
opinion of either diplOmatist but we infer
that there is truth on both sides of the ques-
tion. If Lopez can be despOt on provoca-
ton, he also knows how to handle an army
with courage, and to represent his cause. We
doubt not that from both sides, Brazilian and
Paraguayan, the world has been treated to a
great deal of lying.
