President Grant passed through here, the

signifcance 10 regard to peace or public
policy are concerned, was a huge and ridicu.
Ions faiure,-so admitted BY every body out
side Of Boston, where It was simply used as a
means of attracting crowds for the benefit Of
hotels restaurants, saloous, traders and
transportation companies. The Boston cor.
respondent of the New York Tribune, in
that paper Of this morning, speaking of the
socalled peace jubilee says ''If YOU
would have peace, try Dsuforth's Bon Ton

The absorbing topic Of conversation, here,
is "Cuba, CubA--will Cuba obtain her free

thata party 80 loud mouthed for negro freedom
should be so utterly Indifferent towards tho

the country, and showing such aWant Of oompre
hension Of great national interests ne has been
exhibited by our government in this Cuban mat
ter, is enough TO make every American blush with
shame and Indignation. II ever we speak Of the
Monroe doctrine again or talk Of an American
policy for the American Continent the world will
laugh with ridlcule at us. This mighty republic
has abdicatdd its former hi hor position in Amer
lean affairs and policy and has become less than
second rate Power. Chile and Peru have rec.
ognlIed the Cuban patriots, and the other Amer
loan republics no doubt will soon follow their |
example The United States, which ought 10 |
have been first, hesitates, and is not likely, out
Of fear or Difference TO Europe, 70 do anything.
How are she mighty fallen There is no Spanish
government in Cuba. Captain General Dulco |
was deposed, and those lefg nominally in author.

tiOnary mob, called volunteers. The only re-.
spectacle organized government, NJ was said
before, Is that Of the Cubaus under the presidency
OF Cespedes. These are facts known to all the
world except 20 the conservative old fugy M tho
head Of the state Department and To General
Grant. Great questions Of national policy and
national interests seem TO be beyond their grasp. |

cause for impeachment in the miserable policy of
