We sincerely trust that Gen. o. o. Towards
letter to the colored cadet at West Point,
which we publish on our second page, may
have the effect on his white comrades that the
General desires. 1t is notifying to know
that there exists such spirit of intolerance
on their part as is revealed in the letter of the
persecuted cadet. If he survives and Outives
it, the greater will be the triumph of the col
ored boy. This, however, is poor con-
ISOLATION to him. If they succeeded In
forcing him to resign, very disastrous to their
regulations will be such triumph of the white
cadets. This consideration ought to be a
warning to them. Some day, perhaps, one of
their number, greater-souled than the rest,
will, in his indignation at their cruelty to the
colored cadet, take him under bis special
protection. Will the lttle-souled ones risk,
by further prosecutions, the modification of
such rebuke as that 7

We trust that Congress will not fail to need
the necessity for economy in the construction
of the New-York Post Office. That economy
can only he attained by such prompt appro-
priations as shall enable the work to be vigor
on sly pushed throughout the season when build
ing operations are possible. We have reached
point where economy consists in prosecu-
ton of the work on the largest and most
energetic scale. The Postmaster here is ham
pered for want of room, is compelled to incur
extraordinary expenses in consequence, and
can only retrench when he can remove from
the present rookery. 1t is the most wanton
extravaganza to dawdle along from year to
year with so expensive building as that now
in progress. Win not Congress make sure that
it is to be theoretically pushed throughout the
season

THE CUBAN INDICTMENT.

The documents transmitted to the Senate in
reply to the call upon the President for infOr-
nation touching Outrages upon American citi-
zens in Cuba will set some of us wondering
whether our Government has not pursued a
policy of patience in this matter far beyond
the point where patience ceases to be virtue.
We have long list of persons claiming to be
citizens of the United States, who are said to
have suffered illegally in their persons or prop
erty during the course of the instruction. Of
these persons, have been put to death, 80
have been imprisoned, and 81 have had their
property cOniscated or enlarged. 1t is not
certain that all these compliments were really
entitled to our protection; but they claimed it,
and though their cases cover long period of
time, it does not appear that their claims have
yet been investigated. We must do Mr.. Fish the
Justice to say that he has demonstrated with the
Spanish Government necessarily ever since he
came into office, though his circumstances
have not been uttered in such tone as to
convince the Madrid regency that our protests
need immediate attention. In April, 1869,
Count Valmaseda issued proclamation threat
ening to shoot every man over Is years of age
found absent from his home without sufficient
reason, and to burn every unoccupied house
and every house which did not display the
white flag. This barbarous order was not only
an offense against civilization, but violation
of a specific treaty with the United States
Q795), which provides that no citizen of this
country within the Spanish possessions shall
be deprived of liberty or property without
regular process of law. Mr.. Fish protested
against this atrociOus method of carrying on
war, but we do not learn that any attention
was paid to his remOnstrances About the
same time Valmaseda issued another de-
cree forbidding the alienation of property
on the island except with the consent of Ger
tain Spanish officials. This also was in viola
ton of the treaty of 1895, and Mr.. Fish pro-
tested again-with no result whatever. Seven
teen days later commission was appointed to
take charge of the property illegally embar-
COED, and shortly afterward fresh decree ex-
tended still further the embargoes and confis-
cations by which American citizens had al

Gen. Jordan replies to our comments of yes
terday with well-written letter on the sub
iect of neutrality. In many things that he
says we heartily agree with him, and in sym
pathy we have been entirely on his side all
through. He mistakes our meaning however
when he assumes that we regard the attitude
Of the United States Government toward Cuba
as logical application of the Monroe doc
trine. The Monroe doctrine, commonly so
called, does not strictly apply to the question
of belhgerency, but to the right of interyen-
ton, which is very different matter. We do
not believe that our Government has practi-
cally violated Mr.. Monroe's famous principle
that no European Powers ought to be per-
mitted to extend their peculiar institutions to
this hemisphere; but whether we have acted
in accordance with Mr. MOnrOe'S doctrine Of

The announcement that Italy is about TAX
ing vigorous measures to suppress the tranlc
in Italian slaves is startling, but quite justified
by the facts The sale and lease OF children
has been for generations one OF the standing
disgraces of the kingdom. Parents have not
scrupled to sell their offspring into degrad-
ing bondage that they might be shipped out
of the country and brought up as mounte-
banks, rope-dancers, organ-grinders, ana
monkey-leaders. Men have made the stealing
of children for expectation a regular profess
sion and it has long been well known that
large sums of money are invested by whole
sale dealers in the infamous traffic. The busl-
ness has its various branches-commission
houses, travelling agents who collect the little
slaves all through the country, shippers, cap
italists, warehousemen chat is to say the Keep
ers who hide away the children till an oppor-
tunity offers of sending them away, and the
retail purchasers who buy and sell only a
child or two at time. A tolerably stringent
law for the suppression of this business was
introduced into the Italian Parliament III 1854.
This has now been revised by committee OF
the Senate, and so much improved that with
reasonable diligence in its execution it can
hardly fail to answer the desired purpose.
The penalties are not unduly severe, but they
are so extended to all persons who aid in the
traffic, either directly or indirectly, that con-
victions ought not to be very difficult to OBJ
fain

The laborers in Killarney, Ireland, have
shown their sense and judgment by attempt
ing to seize and destroy number of moving
machines. Of course they were driven off and
the rioters sent to Jail. How much better off
are these ardent gentlemen nowf There has
never been an instance in which mob has
proved too much in the end for machinery /;
and there never will be an instance because
Capital fights Labor at long odds, and is, under
any circumstances, furnished with the sinews
of war and law. The remedy for this is to be
found in cooperation of laborers, and in their
owning the machines upon which they earn
their meat

The Naturalization bill goes to the Presi-
dent 1t will greatly puzzle him or his new
Acknowledgement to find clause of any prac-
teal value therein, unless the two sections
added by the Senate prove more effective in
application than they appear on examination.
They provide for the appointment of two
Election Commissioners, one from each party
to a political contest in cities of more than
10000 inhabitants. These are to preserve the
purity of the ballot-box. They are not expected
to do this alone and unaided, for the United
States Marshal is to appoint deputies to pre-
serve order at the polls if it be deemed
necessary. Unfortunately it frequently hap
pens, as in this city, that q dominant party
finds ready tools in the opposing organization,
and does not scruple to use them. The
original bill of Mr.. Davis would have gone far
toward correcting many of the abuses under
which the Metropolis now suffers, but it was
torn to tatters in the House, and very little
repaired in the Senate. Nevertheless we are
glad that the bill is to become law, if only
that its inevitable failure may prove an argu-
ment for a better measure in future.

We announce the end of the struggle over
the leading New-York offices with hearty sat
isfaction. When Mr.. Thomas Murphy was
nominated for the COllectorship, and a sudden
storm of accusations against him broke out,
we urged that the Senate, not the
newspapers, was the proper place
for the discussion. If the charges
against Mr.. Murphy could all be sustained, we
said there was not the slightest doubt of his
rejection; if they were not sustained, the
Presidents Judgment in selecting him would,
beyond question, be confirmed. We accept
the results for Mr.. Murphy to 8 against him
las the Senate's verdict upon the presentment
made by Gov. FentOn, in behalf of Mr.. Muir
phys accusers There will be general curl
osity to know how strong or how weak was
the case on which the Senate passed so decided
Judgment; and Gov. Fenton may feel that
necessity is upon him to crafty that curiosity.
Meantime, accepting Mr.. Murphy, acquit of
all charges on the Judgment of the Senate, as the
chief Republican officer of the State, we look
to him for that faithful discharge of his duty
to the Government and that wise and concil-
iatory influence upon the Republican party
which his friends have been promising, and
which his position demands. He has great OPP
portunities, this Fall; we shall gladly give him
all honor for their proper improvement
The result will be generally regretted only
40 far as Gen. Merritt is concerned. This gen.
tleman is removed without charge, and with
the general testimony of all who know aught
of the Naval Office in his favor. We are very
sure that he can afford to retire better than
the Government can afford to spare him; and
that, eventually, he will lose nothing by his
present displacement.

pressed for nearly ten years by Superintendent
Kennedy, under the terms Of the Excise law
of 1853. In Kennedy's time hardly single
LIQUOR shop could ever be found open, or half
open, on Sunday, in any part of the CITY,
1t was impossible to procure glass of liquor
except stealthily or surrepttiously, and even
then with the greatest difficulty. There was
no violation of any law so sure OF detection
and punishment as that against Sunday liquor
selling. AS a consequence, we had the most
orderly Sundays ever known IN New ork'
There were fewer crimes and fewer arrests on
Sunday than on the other days OF the week.
and every respectable citizen was grained Win
the law and its results. Compare this state
of things with that now in exlstence-the
liquor shops pouring out their internal streams,
crime and drunkenness rampant, and decent
Christians compelled to blush with shame.
We appeal again, as we recently appealed, to
the Excise Commissioners, to the Police super
intendent, and to all in any way responsible
| for this opening of the sluice-gates OF hell.
We implOre them to enforce the law, which
has been officially declared to be still in force.
Even though the Commissioners and the Super
intendent may believe that the Democratic
leaders of this city do not desire the law to DC
enforced, and do not intend that it shall be
| enforced, we demand its enforcement Ihey
| have acknowledged the old law to be still law
and it is to the law that the laws officers owe
service and allegiance. If any officer allows
party leaders or party interests to come De-
tween him and his sworn duty, he Is a
perjurer and traitor. We call upon all good
citizens irrespective Of party, to exercise this
influence in such way as will secure the
suppression of the Sunday liquor traffic and
the Sunday carnival of crime and deviltry.
We cannot afford to tolerate the continuance
of the present state of things in New-York.
If not changed Immediately, it will quickly
grow worse; and with it will come a penalty
which can neither be evaded nor endured.

success, and it depends on three or four
rules, by observing which | believe one
can make a good living by hens and tur-
keys.
1. I give my fowls great range.
Eighteen acres belong TO them exclusive
ly. Then the broods have the range of
another big lot, and the turkeys go half a
mile or more from the house. The
eighteen acres of poultry yard is rough
land of little use for Iillage. It has a
pond in it and many rocks, and bushes,
and weeds, and sandy pisces, and ash
heaps, and lime, and bones, and grass, and
a place which l plow up to give them
worms.
2. When a hen has set I take her box,
throw out the straw and earth, let it be
out in the sun and rain q few days and
give it a good coat OF whiteWash on both
sides. In winter, when it is very cold, l
have an old stove in their house and keep
the warmth above FREEZING. There is also
an open fire place where | build q fire in
cool, wet days. They dry themselves, and
when the fire goes put there is q bed of
and winter my hens have all the lime,
ashes and sand they want.
3. Another reason why [ have such
luck is because my pOultry-yards receive
al the scraps from the Metropolitan TO-
tel. Egg making is no easy work, and
hens WILL not do much of it without high
feed. They need just what 9 mar who
works requires-wheat bread and meat.
Even when wheat costs - [ believe in
feeding it TO hens.
