CauuOb loel Jne same interest IN tnelr appear

they were as ready to concede as TO claim it.
THE OUTRAGE AT SANTIAGO.
From the NJ Y. Sun.
The degradation brought upon the United
States by the imbecile administration which
now governs the country was completed at
Santiago de Cuba on Wednesday week.
MIR. Phillips, the acting Consul of the
United States at that port, recently addressed
communication to the Secretary of State
upon the facts within his knowledge concern
ing the civil war in that region. This COM
munication was sent to Congress by the
Secretary, and was duly published When
it reached Santiago, the mob who control
the Spanish authorities of the island first
compelled Mr. Phillips to sign a paper de-
claring his official letter to be forgery.
Having signed this falsehood under fear of
losing his life, the terrified American Consul
still found it necessary to flee from the
island. He took passage on French
steamer, embarking under the protection of
the. British Consul. His own countryside
United States-not being able to afford him
any protection, he fed from his post under
the escort of a British official, leaving any
other American citizen who may happen to
be there to the tender merces of the Spanish
mob.
Oan anything be more Illuminating TO the
people of the United States than this event?
The official representative of the country is
forced to escape from city in Cuba that is
in full possession OF Spain because an Off
cial letter of his, published here, is displeas-
ing to a body of armed and fanatical ruffians!
And, TO complete the measure of our dis
grace, he is compelled, even in his flight, to
receive from foreigners that protection which
his own great and powerful Government does
not afford.
A revolving comment upon these facts is
offered by the publication in the same jour
nails which narrate the flight of Consul Phil
lips, of the testimony respecting Cuba given
by the Secretary of State before a committee
of the House of Representatives. Mr.. Fish
AYERS that there is nothing in Cuba which is
not perfectly satisfactory to him, and he
earnestly begs that Congress may not take
any step which will tend to disturb the affec-
tionate relations which he now enjoys with
Spaniards at Madrid and Spaniards in Cuba
The case of Mr.. Fish is hopeless. His heart
and mind seem to be utterly incapable of
feeling or knowing what is the duty of the
United States Government in view of the
circumstances which now exist in Cuba But
let the friends of Spanish barbarity and
Spanish despotism be assured that the Anne
rican people are not as stolid and heartle3s
as their Secretary of State. And let General
Grant understand that the moments which
remain to him for action in this matter are
few, and that if he means to save himself
from everlasting shame, he must make haste
to improve them.

known, by the history Of all
mankind, that there is no inherent virtue in
laws so long as those who make them are not
up to the standard of their own work, and
those who execute them are good deal be-
low it. Here, for example, is a statute, which
is good and reputable statute, having the
best intentions, and yet it has been as totally
disregarded as if it had never been enacted.
If it had ever been carried out, there might
perhaps have been at some time various
other members of Congress, besides
Whittemore and Deweese, compelled
to resign, and purify themselves by
a fresh contact with the unsophisticated
virtues of the constituent body. A great
delusion prevails in the public mind on the
efficacy of statutes, constitutional amend
ments, and test oaths. The prevalent idea is
that they are sovereign remedies for all the
political ills that flesh is heir to. They are
looked to as the fountains of public virtue
and morality In and of themselves they are
expected to convert men into angels and
bring about the millennium. No one seems to
ask the question what need of anti-bribery
laws if legislators are honest or what efficacy
is oaths if taken by perjurers aud rogues? 1t
in only by electing virtUous and capable men
to Office that public trusts can be admins
tered with fidelity. This is an old maxim,
and has been often uttered, but we fear it
will have to be repeated many more times
before the people give practical proof that
they realize its truth.

is OUR NAVY EXTRAVAGANZA
MANAGED? ?
From the N. Y. Herald.

from the NJ 4. HeTdlu.
When the present administration of the
Navy Department came into power it had but
a small allowance of funds and large allow
ance of Secretary Welles debts to pay; but it
put forth all it's energies, set men to work on
the rotten old hulks that encumbered the
navy yards, and by fitting in timber here
and timber there had in the course of nine
months thirty-eight vessels fitted for sea.
These, however, are not enough to relieve the
rotten hulks in foreign waters, some of which
had to be sold abroad because the COM
manders-in- chief dared not send them home.
When the appropriation was exhausted the
Navy Department stopped work in the Bureaus
of Construction and Steam Engineering, de-
termined to expend no money not authorized
by law. Then by close calculation, cutting
down in one bureau and pairing down in
another, it collected of its own funds appro-
priated by Congress four million dollars,
which it simply asked of Congress permission
to use to continue the work of resurrection.
One days investigation into this matter
was sufficient to have made members of Con-
gress acquainted with the true state OF the
case. 1t was not an appropriation that the
Secretary asked for, but transfer from one
bureau to another of money already IN pos
session of the department, appropriated bl
Congress for naval purposes. The whole
thing has, however, been so muddled ant
misreI resented by those who have charge o.

REPRESENTATION OF MINoRITIEs.

From the Cincinnati Gazette.
The declaration that the majority must
rule is simply way of practical working of
the principle that the people govern. AS the
people are not all of one mind, there must
be some way of coming to a decision, and
this rule that the majority shall decide is the
only one that has yet been tried But it does
not mean that the minority have no rights in
the government. And it cannot be denied
that when a small majority assume all tho
powers of government, and make laws in
which q great population has no voice,
because it is in a small numerical minority
in the State, the principle of representative
government and of a government by the
consent of the governed is but imperfectly
carried out.
How to make government better repre-
sentative of the people, and how to raise
minorities from their present state of political
annihilation, and give them a voice in pro-
portion to their numbers, is question which
has drawn the attention of many thoughtful
minds of late. Its desirability is generally
conceded, but the idea has not become so
popular as it naturally might be, because of
the general notion that it cannot be made
practicable. A plan to put this principle in
practice in the State of Illinois, in the cleo
tion of the General Assembly, has been pre-
sented by the Committee on Electoral and
Representative Reform, of which Mr.. Medill
is chairman. In brief, the plan is that Re-
representatives. and Senators shall be elected by
districts, each district to choos three, and
| each voter to have the right to cast a vote
| for each, or to cast three votes for one,
as he may choose.
In this way the minority, by concentrating
| their votes on one candidate, may secure one
| of the three Representatives OF the district if
their numbers are large enough to entitle
them to one. Thus the minority will be able
| to secure fair representation, the principles
| of representative government will be better
put in practice, and still the political necessity
that the majority shall rule will be provided
| for. And we may remark that this plan will
| enlarge the privilege of all voters, by allow
| ing them more latitude of choice in the can
| didates, and thus will in considerable degree
give them recourse against bad nominations
and corrupt rings.
The American practice of revising the State
constitutions periodically will make it prac-
ticable to introduce this mode of representa-
ton into the State governments, if it shall be
found to work well, and from thence into the
Presidential election. The principle is one
that commends itself to all, and the plan
seems simple and fair; therefore we hope the
State of Illinois will take this opportunity of
constitutional revision to establish this sys-
tenn of ''totality representation and an un-
restricted ballot, as it is denominated in the
| report.

Comments 6Y tie Tribune.


The passage we have placed in italics above
Is, to speak mildly, q very grave mistake.
The Tribune regards the demand of the
leather men that hides and skins be admitted
free of duty as demand for protection pure
and simple, and TO be conceded, if at all, as
measure of protection. They now pay duty
of ten per cent. on imported hides, and are
protected by duties of 25 to 80 per cent. on
imported leather. They are asking that the
duty which protects them be retained, and
that the lower duty which they have to pay
be abolished.
1t may be wise and just to do what they
solicit; but the Tribune has not said SO, and
cannot say so until it shall have received
further light on the subject. We shall want
to know, as preliminary, whether those who
thus solicit increased protection believe In
protection for others as well as for them
selves. If they see fit to figure conspicuously
at free trade meetings, and there declare that
protection is unnecessary and injurious, the
Tribune will be apt TO conclude that theirs Is
purs uit which-because of the exceptional
cheapness in this country of tanning mate
rial-can get on with little or no protection
certainly, with the very considerable protec-
tion already accorded it. For the present,
we only ask to be counted out of any category
whereby the duty of ten per cent. on hides
| is condemned, or the action OF the ways
and Means Committee with regard to it made
the subject of unpleasant rumors.
| The principle above indicated covers
many cases--that of the shipbuilders, for ex-
ample. They have, quite unanimously, in
formed the Committee of Ways and Means
that they are averse to free trade in vessels
that is, to the purchase of our vessels from
makers on the Clyde or the El6e: In other
words, they desire that shipbuilding shall be
protected here, as it has hitherto been. On
this point we are in hearty accord with them.
But we insist that they shall evince willing
ness to ''ive and let live"-to do by Others as
they wish to be done by. 1t is right that
American ships shall be built in American
waters, under the direction of the living sue
cessors of Eckford and of Steers But 1t If
right, on the same principle and for the same
reasons, that American iron, American an
chors, American cordage ETC., etc, shall be
used in the construction and fitting out ol
those American vessels; and we are in favor
| of this also. If the shipbuilders are not, We
