No MONOPOLY IN FRENCH CABLEs-We
have the gratifying information from Paris that
the French Minister Of the Interior, in reply to
the privilege Of laying a cable from Algiers to
France, replied in effect that hereafter all mo-
nopolies in telegraphic cables would be abol-
ished, and that even private parties were at
liberty to lay cables. We presume that this
concession, from the general terms in which it
is given, applies to the laying Of cables between
France and any other country; and if SO, the
field is open for any number of cables between
France and the United States. Louis Napoleon
is evidently resolved to keep pace, even in
cables, with the scientific instrumentalities of
modern progress, in the shaping of his gov
ernment to the progressive spirit of the age;
and herein lies his strength. In seizing upon
the substance of the moral forces of the new
age their shadows must follow him.

ANSWERING aDAwEs.--Despairing Of any sue
cess in its efforts to answer Mr.. Dawes by Ike
logic Of General Butler, the administration
seems disposed to adopt another plan. The
new plan is to dismiss from government en-
ployment every man it possibly can. This is
a response intended to make the people feel
that Mr.. Dawes arguments for economy are
arguments against the working men. The
only effect will be to excite general regret
that the government can take an appeal for
economy only in an ugly, contrary, soreheaded
and obstructive spirit,

THE FRANKING PRIvILEGE.-It is now feared
that if the sweeping law for the abolition
of deadhead postage is passed much incon-
venience will result-frst to the government
itself and next to country newspapers. We
hope, nevertheless, that Congress will not
hesitate. It is not for the government to go
into the newspaper business and support
valetudinarian press by the quasi subsidy Of
free postage. If there are many papers that
cannot outlive the requirement of paying their
postage let us have the luxury Of shedding a
few pious tears to their memory. As to the
government, it is said that il franking were done
away with government business would be en-
tirely suspended for time. Well, may be
that would not quite ruin the country. Let it
be tried.

Postal Telegraph Company, the provi-
sions of which have already been given

Jack Reynolds, Murderer and Philosopher.
Jack Reynolds, distinguished member of
the governing classes, has evidently given
some attention to the study Of our social and
political institutions. He has observed the
operations Of the law here with professional
interest, and has watched narrowly the course
Of justice. He gives the sum and result Of
his study in a single sentence. He has
worked the subject down to a formula as sim
pie and distinct as it is true and atrocious-a
formula so positively installed as one Of his
points of knowledge that the very halter will
hardly take it out of him. His view is that
changing for murder is played out in New
York" Jack Reynolds himself may be hanged.
We should hardly be astonished to hear Of such
an end to his history-the more especially as
we see some indications of disposition to
make little political capital out of the feeling
against him and the sympathy for his victims
family. The balance of Influence" there
fore, may be just q little against this numbering
philosopher, and he may hang for his act; but
if this should happen it will be an accident,
and an accident is not to be accepted as in
validating general law His own death,
therefore, will not disprove his comprehensive
statement Of the results of our criminal juris-
prudence.
Jack Reynolds, whether set free by Doug
les jury or Johnny Real series Of new trials,
or by one Of the Sherif's deputies between the
Tombs and the Court House-whetter SO kept
alive or accidentally hanged-marks an era in
our criminal progress. He is the first mur-
derer who has formulated the view Of the law
and of justice that floats In the murderer's mind
with more or less controlling force when he
does the act of murder with such savage fury
or cool malignity rs may be in him. We had
something not unlike this from the governing
class apropos to that murder in Battery place,
when distinguished politician committed
'sself-defence" by shooting q man in the back
of the head. We heard it stated then that "a

clear case Of showing the white feather. No
matter--he has been real good old fellow,
this time, though he did neglect to give the

south winds from the Gulf Stream. But how
about the ice crop? We have still three weeks
in which we may be given, by chopping
round of the winds to the northwest, good
ice crop, though we rather incline to the opin-
on that the New Englanders will have mar

Recognition OF tue Cubous-Auothss Bu'
- W tho House,

The Cuban victory at Guaimaro has already
had good effect on the authorities in Con-
gress. Mr.. Fitch yesterday introduced q bill
in the House to grant belligerent rights to tho
Cubans, aud ON motion OF General Banks it
was referred to the Committee on Foreign
Affairs, of which he Is chairman, by a vote OF
125 to Ia. General Banks is strong, devoted
and ardent friend of Cuban independence and
as chairman of the Committee of Foreign
Affairs in the House has great influence in the
committee room and in the hall. 1t will be-
remembered that the resolution OF last session,
in which the President was authorized at his
discretion to recognize the insurgents, was
introduced by General Banks in the House,
but was killed in the Senate by the refusal OF
Senator Summers committee to report upon It,
1t left the matter simply to the Presidents dis
cretion, which in foreign matters must, OF
course, be largely the discretion Of Secretary
Fish and OF the chairman of the Senate Com
mittce on Foreign Relations, Mr.. Sumner.
The present bill, however, does away with the
discretionary influence of Mr.. Fish, and
directs that belligerent rights. be granted,
whether the State Department is willing or
not. II now rests with the House to pass the
bill, which it will do, and with Senator Sum
ner to report favorably on it to tho Senate,
which is more doubtful. Thus we shall have
the responsibility in the Cuban business whit
tied down to small point.

Pedro de Aranjo Lima, Marquis de Olinda the dis
tiDguished Brazilian statesman, died on the 7th of
June at Rio Janeiro at the age OF eighty years. He
was born in Pernambuco in the year 1870, and he
educated in that city until he was old enough to
go TO the Portuguese university of Coimbra. After
his graduation he devoted himself to the study and
practice OF law, and in 1921 he was elected men,
Der from Brazil Of the Constituent Assembly OF Por-
tugal After the separation of Brazil took place he
elected in 1923 represent his native province
in the Constituent Assembly OF Brazil and from
that time until his death ne occupied q seat in the
Assembly either as Senator Deputy. On his entry
into public life he soon gained high rank
among the Brazilian statesmen, and from 1925
TO 1927 he was President of the Chamber of
Deputies also from 1881 to 1881, except during the
year 1884 In 1881 he was chosen as Senator for
Pernambuco, and twice during the minority of Dom

The Marquis of Olinda was moderate Liberal in
politics and he generally acted in full accord with
the Liberal party. He however was opposed to any
direct legislation for the emancipation of the Slaves
and preferred that theyshould be gradually freed 80
that social commissions would be produced by the

years ago he manumitted number belonging to

An Old hIpn Shot Dead. The Buckley Slander
suit.
The St. Louis Dispatch of the 10th instant
says
The news of terrible murder reached the
city this morning, the facts of which we pre-
sent as given by police officer who came to
town this morning from Carondelet.
The victim was an old man about sixty years
of age, named r. d. Buckley. The facts in the
case as narrated to us are as follows:-Mr.
Buckley lived near Jefferson Barracks and was
a farmer by occupation. Not far from him re-
sided another farmer named Hermann Niehoff,
also an elderly man. We are informed that not
long ago quarrel arose between both men on
account of some hogs The precise nature of
the quarrel we did not ascertain. Since then
the feeling of the men towards each other have
not been of q cordial character.
Last evening, as is alleged, both men met on
the road about o'clock. The place of meeting
was on a road which is mile and a half beyond
the Red Bridge over the river Des Peres, not far
from Buckley's house. The quarrel was doubt
less resumed, for, as we hear it, Mr.. Nichoff
fred at Mr.. Buckley with a shotgun. The charge
entered the latter, and produced almost instan-
taneous death. Mr.. Buckley was conveyed to
his residence near by.
The murdered man is, we understand the
father of the young ladies Eliza and Sarah
Buckley. the former of whom was recently very
prominently placed before the public because
of q suit for damages which she instituted
against the Missouri Republican, and in which,
upon trial, she obtained verdict for $4,000
Her sister shortly afterwards began "a similar

The European combatants are too discreet
to divulge the plans of their campaigns to
newspaper correspondents, and any theories
on this subject that may be promulgated now
are little better than idle conjectures. 1t has
happened heretofore that France has dictated
terms of peace to Prussia in her capital, Ber-
lin. and that the Prussians, with their allies,
have dictated terms of peace to France in
Paris If the war proves bloody and pro-
tracted the question may again arise in the
two nations whether the treaty that is to restore
peace is to be dated at Paris or Berlin. The
first serious struggle may be on the frontiers,
near which. both parties are massing very
powerful armies, or it is possible that France
may seek to utilize her naval superiority by
attempting descent on the Prussian coast.
Her shortest road to Berlin is manifestly by
sea, and the debatable point is whether
she is strong enough to attempt such
a movement and to simultaneously defend
all the approaches to her own capital. The
fortunes of our war hinged for long period
in popular apprehension on the problem
whether Washington or Richmond should be
captured, and the death-blow was given to
the Rebellion by the surrender of the latter
1t remains to be seen whether the military
movements in Europe are to centre mainly
near the borders of the Rhine, or whether
an impetuous ION to Paris" or an ''on to
Berlin" movement can be commenced.
