THE CuBANs,

Fifty times at least, the official Spanish
reports have come to this country to the
effect that the insurrection was subdued-
the insurgent leaders shot or dispersed-the
rebel strongholds all taken-and the tone
and sentiment of the country entirely favor
able to the retention of Spanish rule. AL
this has been repeated so often in the space
of two years, and still the insurrection ap-
pears to be lively and vigorous. 1t is true
that the Cubans are generally beaten in the
battles, but it does not appear to hurt them
much, and they turn up next day as ready
for the fray as ever. The number of them
who have been killed, appear from the Off
cial sources, to considerably outnumber the
entire population of the island, but even
that does not seem to be very serious mat
ter as they were in the beginning. All their
strongholds were reported as taken from
them, but they occupy as many now as ever
they did. The real truth is that Spain has
spent great deal of money in carrying on
this war--using up all the regular resources
beside running in debt between thirty and
forty millions of dollars-has employed
over hundred thousand soldiers of one
kind or another-has practiced enormous
cruelties upon the prisoners her troops have
captured, but they have made little if any
progress in putting down what they consid-
cred mere mob of the rabble of the popu
lace. If the Cubans are persistently in
earnest they can worry out their freedom
by mere force Of protraction, and unless the
Spaniards can do better than in the past
such result is about a certainty.

T R E N TON.

The city of Trenton within few wears
has built up quite an extensive wholesale
trade. Mr.. John Taylor who mainly yigo-
rated and organized the business M that
city, and who won deserved success from
his enterprise, is yet quite young man.
The trade so recently inaugurated has ia-
creased until the aggregate sales amount 10
millions. Naturally the Board of Tradels
looking around to provide facilities of con-
munication with all parts of the surround
ing country.
Among the proposed measures is one b
rebuild the Kincora and New Lisbon rail-
road. Thirty years ago this was care,
fully graded horse railroad, built for the
purpose of conveying wood from "The
Pines" to market. Starting from point
just below Bordentown, it passed through
Columbus, Jobstown and Juliustown, crossed
the track of the Pemberton and Hightstown
railroad at Lewiston Station, and ended
near where the Pemberton and Whiting
Station road passes New Lisbon. When
the wood within reach of it was exhausted
'of course the road was abandoned as of no
further use. With the changed condition
of things one can see at glance how
greatly it would facilitate the trade of the
city of Trenton.
The grading of the old road remains
nearly as it was throughout the whole ex-
tent, SO that it can be put in order at COM
paratively small expense. Active mea-
sures have been adopted to complete sub
scriptions for the stock, and rebuild the
railroad at once in substantial manner

those pirates, the Jerseymen concluded to
make an effort for the Lime kind of protec
tion that other States have, and on the 21st
of March last our Legislature passed a sup
plement to the act of 1916, which provides
that no one shall engage in the oyster trade
within the limits Of the State, who is not a
citizen thereof, and that the boats shall be
owned and controlled by residents of this
State.
This law, like most others doubtless in
some cases conflicts with the interests Of
worthy men of other States, who would as
soon think of becoming pirates as to steal
oysters from any one, and they suffer to
some extent the consequences of the bad
deeds of those engaged with them in the
oyster business.
The question seems to be now whether
New Jersey has the right to protect her cit
izens and exclude others from the limits of
the State. If other States have this privi.
lege and have enforced it for years, why,
should not New Jersey have the same right ?
Are Jerseymen to have their oysters stolen
after so many long months Of patient, toll
some planting, and then haveno redress for
the wrongs thus committed? We say en-
phatically, no! New Jersey has rights, and
knowing where wrongs are perpetrated, she
dares punish the authors of them. New
Jersey oystermen have rights, and knowing
dare maintain

FRA N G Z.

Matters in this unhappy country appear
to be steadily gravitating toward strong
government Anarchy appears to be the
only resultof any attempt at self govern
ment by Jhis mercurial and inhammable
people. At the time of the first revolution
when me Bourbon throne was put down by
the words of an unfuriated populace, and
washed away by the torrents of blood from
the lives of an ancient nobility it was
thought these excesses resulted from the
long continued oppression of the people,
and that another attempt in after days
would develop new traits Of character,
which should create an Republic that would
rival if not surpass our own. All this how
ever has failed. France has had years of a
liberal monarchy, but manifests the same
traits of unfitness for self government as in
the days agone. Whatever may or may
not have been the faults Of Louis Napoleon,
he certainly so far yielded to what he deemed
the force of circumstances, as to liberalize
the Empire, in the laws he made, and to
gradually enlarge the liberties of the peo-
Pile. Whether the end would have been a
closer Tightening of the chain of his dynasty
or further relaxing, as rapidly as intelli-
gence and public virtue would allow, can
not now certainly be told. Probably how
ever, the plan of Napoleon was to seize the
favorable opportunity, which he supposed
would be created by tho glory which should
attend his expedition into Prussia, and per-
feet a system of despotism which, like the
ancient Roman Republic, should have all
the names of freedom and all the realities
of tyranny. The chances of war have not
realized this conception, and France is left
without even such repressive government as
Louis gave to it. The rule of M. Theirs is
as mild and free as it is possible to make it,
but the Parisians revolt from it, and rush
madly to death to trample it down. 1t is
probable that in the end the Government
will put down it's civil factions but the fact
that they must be put down, is proof that q
stronger government is needed.

AN ABsURD1TY.

A missionary employed by prominent
religious organization, in the State of New
Jersey, reports away at Ocean County in a
manner which would seem to indicate
special spite at that unfortunate region.
According to his lately published account
the people, very many of them live in the
most primeval state-men-wome en-chil-
s-cows-horses-all sleeping to-
gether in the same room, and without the
slightest regard for either character or de-
cency. The marriage rite is said by him to
be practically unknown, and religious in
struction is in state of utter destitution.
This will be news to the intelligent people
of that county, and if we mistake not will
stir them to an appreciation of that mis-
sionary which will be more forcible than
pleasant. When the fact is remembered
that in the last few years years the Metho-
dists alone have built fifteen churches in
that county, it will easily be seen how much
reliability is to be placed on his statements.
We forbear to give his name.

EMIGRATION FROM FRANCE

Leading French gentlemen in this cum
try predict a large emigration to us rom
the provinces Of Alsace md Lortine.
These parts Of what was once French terri-
tory have suffered greatly fom the tread
Of hostile armies during the war, and are
besides exceedingly dissatisfied with their
compulsory transfer from the rule Of the
Franks to that of the Teutons.A Impelled
by their immediate disasters andSfrighted
at the prospect of their future, bcy seek
relief from their woes in leaving b which
they have heretofore held dear, and atempt-
ing to establish their families in the sited
States. Accounts of what is to tian
wonderful prosperity have found theirway
to them, and they look with an alnot in
credulous pleasure at the PROBABILITIES of
white bread and animal food as the 1ptri-
mcnt Of daily life. In addition to till the
privileges of common education fohheir
children are alluring, and all theseIacts
combined are said to be sufficiently stong
to overcome the old attachment to thei ma
tive vineyards and cottages, and put b its
place the desire for home with us Sbuld
the opinion Of these French gentlmen
prove correct one, it will become sfious
question as to what shall be done with
them when they get here. They are
unskilled in mechanical employments4 they
do not possess the Irish robustness ofphy-
sique which would fit them for our labdious
public works-they are not in the gderal
of high average intellectually The rand
resource which would appear to be opn to
them would seem to be that Of hoas,hold
occupations, both for their men and ydmen.
just now the class of foreigners ylo are
willing to labor in this way are of th poor
est kind, and any chance of relief wqlld be
welcomed by our overworked housekepers.
Steps are being taken to secure thisesult,
and in this way avert suffering fro1S these
people when they come to us, andat the
same time help ourselves in the vexedques-
tions of household science.
