MORE -CONSUMBIATION OF
A GREAT JOB

A GREAT JOB.
From the NJ Y. Herald
The report of the purchase of the so-called
French Atlantic cable by the other cable COM
pany and the Western Union Company is very
likely to be true. The mon went to Europe
to endeavor to make that purchase. 1t was in
their interest, as purchasers, that has been
made all the clamor against the French CON-
pany; and it seems to have been in their inte-
rest and by their procuring that the State De-
partment assumed an attitude hostile to the
new enterprise and even that there was in
serted in the Presidents Message passage
calculated to dishearten the European owners.
All this was the job of the would-be buyers.
Their purpose was to cheaper the propertyby
showing to the European capitalists that it
might eventually prove dead loss in their
hands. Now, therefore, if the report be true,
we shall hoar no more of the movements to
tear up the French cable because France will
not permit an American cable to be landed on
her shores; we shall hear no more of all the
ridiculous and ingenious clamor against this
enterprise, for it no longer stands in the way
of the gigantic monopoly that controls our
telegraphic system to the injury and oppres-
sion of the people.
But we shall hear, we trust, great deal
more of Mr.. Washburns bill, for there is
more need for it now than ever. Our people,
we are afraid, scarcely realize the Importance
of the telegraph in the concerns of daily life,
CT there would be general irresistible pres
sure upon Congress to pass law assuming
absolute and specific control over this great
est of the agencies by which the multifarious
operations Of society are carried on Before
the telegraphic strike is over, however, it is
possible that there may be a change in this
regard Just now the overworked and
underpaid agents of this great machinery are
in rebellion. Although the capital on which
the telegraph company ought to pay divi-
dend is only fifteen millions they call it forty
millions, SO as to hide their exorbitant earn
ings. They pay di idead on the forty mil
lions, and as the fictitious excess of twenty
five millions takes up nice slice of the earn
ings, they pleacd poverty and cut down the
wages of their subordinates. Thus the ope-
rators are sacrificed to n fiction. Against
this sacrifice they are in rebellion, and as the
employment is branch of highly skilled
labor they may paralyze the company, and
thus the country may to great degree be
| left without telegraphic facilities.
| In that event we are certain that the people
will have forced upon them some adequate
| sense of the vital Importance of this means of
| communication in all commercial transactions;
and it is possible that their perception of this
may induce a pressure that will force the
tardy legislators at Washington to take such
steps as will no longer leave the telegraph in
hands in which it is subject to such abuses as
those from which the people suffer in its pre-
| sent management.

SHALL WE BUY CUBA?

Prem the N. Y. Sun.
Two of our contemporaries recently pub
lished an erroneous report that negotiations
for the sale of Cuba to the United States
have for some time past been going on be-
tween the rulers of Spain and the President
of the United States. The Herald makes this
announcement in the form of telegram from
Washington. 1t is alleged that ''our Minis
ter in Madrid has sounded both Serrano and
Prim as to their willingness to sell Cuba to
the United States, and that he has the highest
assurances that both those prominent states
men are favorable to the project, and are
only waiting favorable opportunity to con-
surnmate il" The information of the Times
is conveyed in letter from Havana. 'There
is hardly any doubt, says the writer, ''that
the actual Government in Spain is in treaty
with the insurgents and the American Gov
erment. To mention this fact openly would
be the signal of their downfall, and the imme-
diate entrance of Prince Alfonso as future
King of the Spaniards with Lersundi as Re
gent during his minority" T
That Prim and Serrano are not unwilling
to sell Cuba to the United States is probably
true. They are cunning knaves, always short
of money, and perfectly able to understand
that, as Spain is bound to lose the island any
sum they may get for it will be SO much clear

Although during the last few weeks
quite a.succession of events have oc-

interesting to your Kentucky readers,
yet, circumstances beyond my control
have disabled me from giving you any
notice of them.
First in Importance was the Demo-
cratic Convention for selecting a can
didate for our Court of Appeals,
which showed its efficiency for the
work by ignoring such lat0yers as
Fares. Rogers and Dabney, and choos-
ing such politicians as young Mr..
Lindsey. Still it deserves credit for
rejecting the pretentions of Bennett,
who seems even to have disguised
Democrats In his BLACKBOARD manner
of conducting the canvass. The on
erous task of choosing between rotten
apples is imposed on the people of the
district this year. Sad necessity.

EVANSVILLE DELEGATION.
After the concert was over the
Leioerkranz and Warren's Band col
lected at their headquarters at Rel.
bells on Vine Street, and proceeded
from there in a body to Sanger Hall,
over the Rhine, where they had
been invited by the Cincinnati Leid-
erkranz." They marched up Vine
Street, under the tziumphal arch, to
such music as only Warren's Band
can play, and elected such deafening
cheers from the crowds on the street
and In the halls along the route, that
very often the music was drowned out
by the din. Arrived at the Hall. they
were invited within. where they played
several familiar pieces, which made
us feel very much at home. As an
evidence that this band and its history
are we'll known, we give a remark
overheard By one OF our party. Sew
eral German, were discussing the
merits of the bands represented at the
Smngerfest, when one of them said.
Dds bdnt been playing a g00t many
QeorS yet tOgedde7, and not one of ii

visited several places Of less impor-
lance, by invitation, and ever dis
coursed sweet music, and stirring up
an enthusiasm where ever they went.
