Thn Cuhnn Protest.

We publish elsewhere to-day document
which was unintentionally omitted in yester-
days issue, and which purports to be an
answer to some Of the allegations made in one
of our Washington kilograms published the
day previous. 1t attempts to prove the incor-
rectness Of the charge previously published by
denial. From Havana, however, we receive
the news that the alleged proclamation Of the
Cuban Junta Of this city is regarded as hoax,
gotten up by newspapers in the Spanish
interest We shall be pleased to learn
that that this is true, as we have
watched with interest the progress of events
in Cuba, sympathized deeply in the cause Of
its people, and hoped for the day when the
Cubans would succeed in securing their inde-
pendence; but SO many failures have befallen
them, dissensions in their own ranks have so
multiplied, and so many opportunities have
been allowed to slip by, that the time has
come when the United States should take the
matter in hand, and by the purchase Of Cuba
settle the whole question and stop the further
effusion of blood. The time is opportune.
Spain wants money; Cuba can never again be
to the mother country what it once was. In
view of these facts the true American policy
is to open negotiations for the purchase OF the
SEVER Faithful Isle"

PENNsrLvANrANs DIseUsTED. great
Keystone State seems determined to get one of
her numerous favorite sons into the Cabinet.
She sghs for Borie again, or at least, for posi-
tion equal to the one he formerly came near
holding. Her chief consideration all along
has been as to what favorite son of hers a
place must be given. She has fixed, after due
thought, upon Benjamin Harris Brewster az
her preponderating favorite at present. and
a full blown delegation called accordingly
on the President yesterday and intmated that
he ought to be Attorney General in place Of
Mr.. Hoar. The President listened with the
patience that overthrow Richmond, and then
said there was no vacancy in his Cabinet.
Thereupon the Pennsylvanians retired dis
gusted, that little difficulty no. having pre-
sented itself to them before.

GENERAL WAsHBURN AND THE TELEGRAPH
MoNoPoLY.-There is rod in pickle for the
telegraph monopoly, and General 9. G. Wash
burn is determined TO lay it on with will.
1t has been impossible heretofore for the Con-
gressional committees investigating the tele-
graphing system to obtain the information
they wanted from the monopoly, for reasons
very obvious. General Washbarn has hit
upon o way to cut this .Gordian knot. He
telegraph operators themselves-men who
know as well as the monopolists what the
committee wish to learn, and ore not directly
interested in teaching the committee some
thing very different.

Tho Annual Report of tho Metropolitan
Police Commissioners.


We have already referred editorially to this
report as in the main satisfactory, and in par
ticular to its evidence that the force is insufi-
cient for the work, there being only one officer
to every five hundred inhabitants in this city
and to every thousand in Brooklyn. Without
recapitulating the details of the report, we
must now add that the statistics which it gives
of the arrests in New York city throw a flood
of lurid light on what may be called "'our dan
gerous classes" The total number of arrests
during the year was 1884, Of whom 81, 446
were males and 81, ,53s females. The decade
of age from twenty to thirty furnished the
largest number of offenders; but the most
numerous arrests of females were above thirty.
ireland takes the lead of the various nationali-
ties which contributed to the grim list, but
this fact may be sufficiently accounted
for by the larger number of Irish immi-
grants and by their proverbiai convivial
and pugnacious propensities. Matrimony
would seem to breed less crime than
celibacy, from the fact that while only 20, 249
persons arrested were married 3,735 were
single. But the prevalent idea that education
tends to decrease immortality and crime is ap-
parently contradicted by the startling fact that
nearly six-sevenths Of all the arrests were of
Individuals that could read and write. More
over, the widespread Generalization Of the
day is fearfully indicated by the statement that
among those arrested were one hundred and
twenty-three physicians, twenty-three United
States officers, ninety-one city officers, fifty
druggists, thirty policemen, nineteen editors,
forty three reporters (be it remarked, in paren-
theses, that it is not an infrequent practice of
involuntary visitors at the station house to
declare themselves in some way mysteriously
connected with the press), twenty-thres tele-
graph operators, two hundred and twenty
eight brokers (alas for Wall street), and, in
fine, representatives Of almost all ''the re-
spectacle classes" in society. The most
astounding figures Of the report are those
which reveal that during the last ten years
,46l natives Of the United States, 4G5, lS5
natives of Ireland, 81, ,9S6 natives Of Germany
and 70, S57 natives of other Countries making
grand total Of S9S, 4S9 persons-haye been
arrested in this city.

EUROPE AT TIE CLOSE OF THE YEAR
England, Ireland and France supply the mate
rial for the initial of our special retrospect of
the condition of Europe at the close Of the
year 1869. Our exhibit from Great Britain
to-day is not of consoling char
acter for the past or very encour-
aging in the present II paints oppressed
peoples, a struggling democracy and priestly
attempts at reaction. The popular progress
has not been of enduring realization The
social elements remain in state of unhealthy
fermentation. Glasses are discontented with
their lot in life, and greed for money gain
brought many strange revelations in London
The subject of infantile mortality in France

vital statistics to one of our Paris correspond

MORE SrAsMoDIo FLUCTUATIONS IN Cold
The world outside of Wall street must be
sorely puzzled about tho spasmodic ups and
downs of gold. They see, for example, that
after remaining steady for somo time at about
12O gold suddenly jumps to 1873, and then
again declines The thermometer in our CAPRI
cous climate is not as uncertain and variable.
People naturally look for some cause for these
extraordinary fluctuations, but they can find
none in the state of trade, commercial affairs,
political disturbances, war, or trouble of any
kind. Well, there is nothing strange about it
at all. 1t is all gambling, and nothing else.
A certain set of Wall street spectators get
control of the market, or there are certain
amount of contracts on paper for the delivery
Of gold, and as it is found easy or difficult to
furnish the precious metal or to fulfil the con-
tracts the price goes down or up The 1uctu-
ations have nothing to do with the state of
trade or condition of the country. This is the
true explanation Of the matter, and the public
need not be puzzled or alarmed at the rise or
fall of gold.

DE RoDAs' LATEST. The latest proclama-
tion Of the Captain General of Cuba announces
that he has sufficient troops to stamp out the

many more troops were coming from Spain
was that the Spaniards at home desired to

abroad. Can the Spanish government afford
TO support such expensive magnanimity

NEWS FROM MExrCo.-The news from
Mexico, which viii be found in another
column, is most melancholy. The province Of
Cheapa has been visited by severe freshets and
a loss Of two hundred lives is reported. The
injury to farms and the destruction of pro-
perty is very large. Fear Of general revs-
luton throughout the country prevails, and
from the present insurrectionary display there
Is little doubt that the fear entertained will be
realized.

A BLocKHRAD REGIME AT JEFFERSON MAR
KET.-The reporters Of the city papers at the
jefferson Market Police Court were notified
yesterday that they would hereafter be cut off
from the privileges usually accorded them,
and it was plainly intimated by the clerk, who
took this responsibility upon himself, that they
would not be allowed to see the records Of the
court. This is bold move to run the court
for the purpose Of making money for the off,
cials, and not to deal justice. Messrs. Shandley
and Cox, Police Justices, were transferred to
this court on Friday from Essex Market to sue
ceed Justice Ledwith, and Michael Shandley
was chosen clerk. This seems to be the first
important move of the new regime, and 1t is Q
foolish as we'll as discrsditabls one. The
sooner they back out Of 1t the better.

THE ANNEXATION OF DOMINICA. Some OF
our cotemporaries have at last made the dis
covery which we announced to cur readers
two or three weeks ago, viz, that treaty for
the annexation Of the republic Of Dominica
(about three -fourths of the island of Hayti),
agreed upon between the high contracting
parties, will very soon be laid before the
Senate. As the cost to our government Of
the acceptance will all told, be only some two
or three millions, and as the harbors, forts,
public buildings and public lands will be
worth much more, we can entertain no doubt
Of the ratification Of the treaty. The Haytien
republic then will have no alternative but to
come in, and 30 before next December we
expect the whole Of that magnificent island
will belong to the United States. With this
acquisition Cuba cannot remain long behind,
however gloomy things may now look in that
quarter.

WILLIE AND The APPLE


LITTLE Willie stood under apple tree old
The fruit was all shining with crimson and gold,
Hanging temptingly low; how he longed for
Though he knew if he took one it wouldn't be
right.
Said he, 'I don't see why my father should say,
Don't touch the old apple tree, Willie, to-day
shouldn't have thought, now they're hanging so
When asked for just one he would answer me
NO
''He would never find out II took but Just one,
And they do look so good, shining out in the sun ;
There are hundreds and hundreds, and he would
So paitry little red apple as this"
He stretched forth his hand, but a low, mourning
strain '
Came wandering dreamily over his brain;
In his bosom q beautiful harp had long laid,
That the angel Of conscience quite frequently
played:
And he sang, ''Little Willie beware, oh beware
Your father is gone, but your Maker is there:
How Fad you uld feel If you heard the Lord
This dear little boy stole an apple to-dayr"
Then Willie turned round and as still as a mouse
Crept slowly and carefully into the house;
In his own little chamber he knelt down to prsy
That the Lord would forgive him, and please not
Little willie almost stole an apple to day"

with the horse and wagon. As he left

"WilI, don't ford the river to day. The
water is too high. Go round by the
bridge" ~
Win cracked his whip, and drove off
muttering "I shall do just as I've mind

Then he drove straight to the ford An
old farmer saw him and shouted: ..
"Wil1, don't cross the ford 'tain't SAFE
"I shall do just as I've a mind to about

So he drove into the river at the ford.
But the water was very high, the current
was strong! The horse lost his foothold
and was carried into the deep water.
Will was frightened and falling into the
deep water, was carried over the mill dam
and dashed to death among the rocks.

A Battle between a Robin and Ia
Squirrel.

We witnessed battle the other day 30
singular in its nature as to deserve men
ton On one of our principal streets,
robin had built its nest in a tree. In the
nest were three or four eggs, which tempt
ed the appetite of squirrel who chanced
to spy them. he madea raid on the nest.
and was just about preparing for sump-
tuous feast, when the proprietor OF the
invaded domicil arrived. SEEING what
was going ON, the robin made dive at the
squirrel, inhicting wound with bis beak-
Then ensued one Of the most lively scrim-
images ever Witnessed. Up and down the
tree, with the rapidity of lightning, ran
the squirrel, the robin In hot pursuit.
From one limb and branch to another,
they both darted, both chattering and
chirping in utmost excitement. The robin
would fly off rod or SO, and then dart,
like an arrow from bow, for the squirrel,
inflicting telling wounds. 1t was soon ev-
ident that the squirrel was getting
the worst of it, and he thought 80 too, for
he finally forsook the tree for
the ground, and beat hasty retreat. He
didn't allow much grass to grow under
his feet as he made tracks for safe quarters.
The robin, apparently satisfied with hay-
ing driven her antagonist from the field,
did not give further pursuit, but returned
to her nest in very frustrated state. Her
victory was signal, and she is doubtless
now rejecting over it with self-satished
quanimity.-G GeneOa IN. - Courier.
