Without the Fifteenth Amendment the na.urali-
Aston laws could be SO amended by Congress as to
make citizens Of Chinese, and any State that might
see ht could allow them to vote. Tho Fifteenth
Amendment does not repeal the law which pre-
vents them from being nsturalized, nor docs it
prevent the requirement by the states of quaIif-
cation that would exclude them from the ballot II
that Law were repealed--Oregonian.
Inasmuch as the 18th Amendment
declares that the right of citizens of
the United States to vote shall not be
denied by any State on account OF
race, color or previous conditions OF
seryitude, it would be little gratify-
ing to know what qualification the
State can make that will exclude them.
Can we require them to eschew pagan
ism and pig-tails If the Oregonian
can find q way around that Amend
ment, we hope it will call the atten-
ton OF the coming Legislature to it.

MORE MAssACREs FOR CUBA

The telegraph is again burdened
with the sickening details of another
Spanish butchery in Cuba. There
were Is victims this time, of whom two
were Americans. A second batch were
on the eve of slaughter at the latest
account. The offense with which these
men are charged, is that of holding
a secret meeting, which is explained
to have been a Masonic meeting.
It is little singular that the en-
ightenment of this age proclaims neu-
trality towards these Spanish butch
cries in Cuba. If two men go at fisti-
cuff in the street, they are separated
by the by-standers. Laws are made
against the prize ring, where brutal
men beat each other by contract, and
the softening tendency of the human
heart has resulted in the organization
of societies for the prevention of cruel
ty to animals. The bowels of human
sympathy have been SO far moved as
to prohibit and punish even cock
fighting. It is only when man prac-
tees his cruelties upon his fellows
that the doctrine of fnon-interference OBJ
tains it fullest force. Looking at that
matter In the abstract, there seems to
be sufficient reasons for promptly
adopting measures to put an end to the
revolving everyday occurrencies in
Cuba. But to this is added the
further reason that Cuba is the thea
ter of a struggle for freedom, involv-
ing the same grand features as that OF
the American colonies nearly centu-
ry ago. In every pointof contrast be-
tween this struggle and that, the ad-
vantage is with the Insurgents. The
tyranny which they resist is the more
revolving and the event of the struggle
is involved in the greatest gloom.
Without supplies, stores or implements
of war cut off from all hope Of assist
ance from the great and professedly
sympathetic world; their friends in
America--the country that of all others
should give assistance-thrown into
prison the seas covered with hostile
gunboats of american manufacture,
and the land swarming with their re-
lentless pursuers. the Insurgents
have scarcely hope but the unprom-
Using one of bloody nlartyrdom.
The wanton massacre of eighteen
men, including citizens Of this country,
for meeting in Masonic Lodge, sure
/ y calls, if not for vengeance, at least
/ for some interposition. This does not
belong to the to-be-let-alone affairs Of
one people. It is more than a crime
against the Insurgents and the United
States. Itinyolyes the cause Of uniyer-
sal humanity.

The fact that four Democrats in the
Senate are opposed to the Astoria land
grant has afforded Republican papers
great deal of solid comfort, by en-
abling them to demonstrate that the
Democratic party was determinedly op-
posed to giving Oregon the grant.
Nothing is said of the sic other Dem
ocratic Senators who did not vote
against the grant. The opposition Of
the four is the longest straw that ou1
Oregon Radicals have been able to
catch hold of for long time.

ACCORDING TO THE TERMS OF
THE CONTRACT.

Certain people are iubilant at the
prospective appreciation of greenbacks
to gold value, and think thatit will be
q crusher on the Democratic PROPOSE
ton to pay the debt in legal tenders.
These persons commit an egregious
blunder, if they suppose that the OBJ
iect in paying greenbaeks for bonds is
to make the difference that there is be-
tween the value of such money and
gold. The object is to save the enor-
nous interest that is annually cxacted
from the people to put into the pock-
cts of non-tax-paying bond holders.
Governments redeeming bonds, when
it does redeem them, by paying pre-
mium that has averaged sirteea per
cent. above the face of the bonds, and
in this way the bond holders have re-
ceived bonus of some eighteen millions
IN gold on the bonds claimed to have
been redeemed by Mr.. Boutwell,. Why
should the people be taxed to pay this
premium A portion of the fve-twen-
ties were made redeemable in five
years from Nov. 1st 1864. They were
bought at rates as low as fifty cents in
coin, and have received coin interest
at six per cent. for five years, and en-.
joyed exemption from taxation. The
Republican party is in favor of contin
uing this unequal and oppressive sys
tenn. 1t refuses to use the surplus rev
enues of the country to redeem th,
bonds. according to the stipulations o
the contract, and instead, buys them o
the holder at his own figure. 1t il
as though the maker of note shoult
refuse or be refused the right to re
deem his paper at maturity, by pay
ing principal and interest, but shoul,
be compelled to negotiate with tn
holder upon such terms as the latte
saw fit to accept.
The man who looks at this featur
of the system in vogue, must under
stand at a glance what the Democrac
mean by insisting that "the del
ought to be paid according to tn
terms of the contract" The wonde
| is, that the Republican leaders SUI
ceed so well in raising n fog aroun
the matter with their clap-trap abou
, national honor. Hundreds of goo
easy men in Oregon seem not to III
derstand Mr. Boutwell's system, ol
understanding it, not to realize it's il
justice. 1t is system that repudiate
the claims of the people. and, if pc
sisted in, may drive the people into
repudiation of the claims of tho bon
holders. Equity is against tn Sc gei
E temen. They have no safety outsid
r of the terms of the contract. 1t seen
like folly for them to depart from i
stipulations, though made wholly
their interests. They should remcn
D her that the law of self-defense is
