If tlis horrible story il true. and the Dis
trict Attorney of Quceps county ncglects TO
procure the Indictment and punishment of
the persons who killed this man, he is unfit
for his office. Well may we hesitate to be-
licvc that an occurrence such "a would dis
grace tho darkest ages OF ignorance can have
taken place here in our land, and among a
community which boasts itself civilized,
to-day. Yet we find the statement of it in
Trustworthy Journal and evidently derived
from some authentic source. The citizens of
Queens county owe it to themselves and to
the rest of the public to investigate this
affair and severely punish those engaged in
it, or they must show that the account which
neither, we shall know how properly to esti-
mate the morals of that locality.
Neither medical science nor public opinion
has yet gone so far as to justify the phys-
can in taking the life of his suffering and
incurable patient. Men whose lives have
been devoted TO the observation of disease in
every phase, and who have witnessed the
most touching and most terrible manifesto
tons Of physical human agony, never attain
that confident knowledge which enables
them conscientiously to say: 1t is better
to kill this man that his suffering
may cease, for his speedy death is
inevitable" The phenomena of disease are
too uncertain to justify such a course, even
if the law allowed it, But if u man were
killed in pursuance Of such advice the law
would pronounce it wilful murder.
There are on record well authenticated
cases of imaginary hydrophobia, in which
the suf6rngs of the patient, often of great
severity, had their origin in mental and other
disorders, none Of which were attributable
to hydrophobia. Such cases have been sue
cessiully treated, and complete cures effected.
Is it certain that Mr. KLEAS's was not an
instance of this kind2 Every dog that bites
a man is not necessarily mad.
If the life of this man was taken in the
manner we have described, are not they muir
dcrers who caused his dcath2 Perhaps some
one in Queens county will answer this and
the other questions we have suggested con.
corning this SHOCKING story.

properly indicted JACKSON for murder. JONI
GRAnAx, the counsel for JACKSON, has moved TO
quash the second Indictment on the ground that
Grand Jury has no right to reindict man for
the same offence which had caused an indictment
by previous jury, before trial has taken place.
The granting Of this motion would probably allow
the murderer TO walk out prison free man.
The politicians have mistaken their Judge. No
man doubts City Judge BEDFoRD's honesty. He
cannot be bought He will never consent to the
corrupt release of murderer. The law expressly
says that If there be at any time pending against
the same defendant two indictments for the same
offence, or two indictments for the same
natter although charged as different offences.
the indictment first found shall be deemed to be
superseded by such second indictment, and shall
be quashed." The existence Of such law on the
statute book would seem TO prove the validity Of
a second indictment. We are confident that on
this ground, if on no other, Judge BEDFORD will
deny Mr.. GRAHAx's motion.

Commissioner MCLEAN has cspoused the cause Of
the Young Democracy form the theme of univer-
sal commendation among men Of all parties.
Until now he has not stood prominently forward
in this great contest, although it has been well
understood that his sympathies were with the
champions of popular rights. But his vigorous
action against TWEED, SMITH, and BARDER, proves
that he is tirst-rate fighting politician, as well
as an accomplished gentleman. We look to see
him holding a yet higher place in the govern
ment of this metropolis when it shall be emanci-
patcd and reformed by the generous efforts Of
the Young Democracy.

That excellent Cuban journal La n. vo,,

That excellent Cuban journal, La RtUOiu-
cion, Ct yesterday, publishes an interesting let
ter from the pen Of JOSH De ARMAs CEsPEDEs,
now residing in Florida, in which the writer
urges change of foreign policy upon the Cuban
l.adeIs.
After discussing the folly Of hoping for any
material assistance from our Executive, unless he
he forced by Congress TO render II, the writer
ABLY insists on the policy Of seeking other dipo-
matte relations. England" he says, "stretch-
ell out friendly hand TO our sister republics Of
South America, at the time that the United States
horshly repealed them, even TO the point Of pro-
chnotion against Bolivar, which was issued by
President MADISON. England recognized the
Greeks in 1926 she has recognized every coun-
Try fighting for its independence, and has de-
clared, through her Prime Minister, that the re-
cogEition as belligorents Of any mass Of people
which sustaius itself against an oppressive gov
ernment ought TO be admitted as an unquestion-
able principle of international law. England re-
cognizcd tAe Southern States, although they were
fighting for the hated principle Of slave labor,
and against all the power Of the American Union (;
and on this very account England would be
clearly bound to recor~izc Cuba, whose banner
is universal emanciI auon, and whose enemy is
one Of the weakest of European nations
This is all very cogent, but Mr.. ARMAs CFs-
PEDEs has omitted IN his reasons why England
should recognize the Cubans one very ..Aportant
one, namely, the consideration that the freedom
Of Cuba will save the British navy an expense of
several hundred thousand pounds per annum, and
very many valuable hives, now wasted in their
squadron on the west coast Of Africa. On the
other hand, should the revolution ever be sup
pressed, the island'will be reconqucred only by
the slavc-tradors and in their interest or course
the treaty of 1885, abolshing the save trade, will
then be more openly violated than heretofore, if
that be possible.

trNtes the intensely dramatic genius of the French
people. An instance of this is afforded at the
present time at Tours, where PrrRHE NAPOLEON

attending the trial as they would comedy of

There is every reason to believe that the
time to come, unless the United States should
recognize the Cuban Republic, and make
with IL ON offensive and defensive alli.
ancc. AS the Cubans become stronger, they
will have either to destroy the sugar planta-
tons, on the same general principle that SHERIDAN
by GRAST's orders, destroyed the Confederate
property in the Shenandoah Valley; or, if they
capture the land where the sugar plantations are
they will be obliged to hold the produce of the
soil, as they cannot ship it in exchange for money
or munitions of war. Therefore sugar may be-
come scarce and il is for these reasons that the
travelling agents in Florida Of sugar establish
ments in this city or elsewhere in the North, are
looking to see if sugar can be cultivated in Flori-
da in sufficient quantity to meet the falling of
from Cuban sources.
In 1910 there were some plantations in Eastern
Florida, on which the sugar-cane was raised to (.
limited extent. Eastern Florida Is that portiol
Of the State between the Suwannee river and tao
coast. At that time il was q common practice
among the planters to raise sugar for their house
hold use. shortly after the Indian war in Florida,
the sugar-cane came to be more extensively cul-
tivaied. There were at that time two principal
plantations, ofabout $50 acres each, on which tho
cane was raised in abundance. just before the
breaking out of the rebellion the cane was cult
waited in South Florida. The plantations were
numerous and highly remunerative. There is
no doubt that the sugar-cane can be extensively
raised in Florida; and it is said in letters which
we have received from that State, that enough
sugar can be cultivated TO be equivalent to the
amount hitherto received from Cuba,
