CUBA FOR THE CUBANs.

The President, it is said, has at last de-
termined to do something in the matter
OF Cuba, which he ought to have done
months ago. It has long been apparent
to the general run of mankind, not only
that the revolt in Cuba had assumed such
dimensions as to justify its classification
as revolution, but that Spain had vio-
lated the principles of civilized warfare in
her treatment of the revolutionists. For
four years the Cubans have kept up the
struggle for their independence, and this,
too, in despite of the utmost vigilance of
the American government to prevent them
from obtaining the same assistance which
Mexico, Bolivia and Texas so readily pro-
cured from their sympathizers in the
United States. For some reason the ad-
at Washington has continu-
ally INSTRUCTED the patriots in Cuba, and
the American people have protested by
great uneasiness at this reversal Of their
traditional policy. We have even toler-
ated abuse Of and espionage toward Amer
lean citizens, and in several instances have
failed to resent afronts that would
have justified direct sggressions on
our part against the government of Spain.
Patience is an American virtue, however,
md in this matter the people have waited

very attentively on the administration.
At last the inexplicable inactivity of our
government is about to be reversed, SO
the telegraph informs us, and although
We are not told The reason of this change
OF front, still we are so thankful that it
has occurred that the people mag afford
to accept the reticence in view of their sat-
lstaction at the propriety of the action. 4
f1eet has been ordered into the gulf to
watch the progress of affairs in Cuba.
Spain has been required to change her
treatment of the revolutionists SO as to
accord with the laws Of war, and she has
been reminded that if American citizens
are not respected in their rights Oh the
island, the American government will
display its power to see what it can do to
protect its own people in foreign de-
pendency. If this movement takes the
shape it ought to take, we shall see Cuba
released from Spanish rule before next
Fourth Of July. Then what discharge Of
fre-crackers!

Hon. George H. Parker, who has been
Democrat for twenty-five years, and
whose talent has been credited by the
Democracy Of Iowa to the extent of elect
ing him to several important offices, is out
in a letter to the Chicago Times, in which
he declares that the party has outlived its
usefulness, and that it is now either dead
or so near to it, as to merit the immediate
attention of the family clergyman. This
is or opinion, often expressed, but there
is committee Of political doctors in New
Orleans, who are so oblivious to the signs
of approaching dissolution, that they will
insist that the old party is as good as
ever. 1t is great misfortune when doc
tors mistake the red mark OF, consumption
for the sign Of health. Such mistakes as
these sometimes prevent dying men from
making atonement for their sins; and
what is almost as bad, they often put off
settlements that ought to be made in JUS
tice to the successors Of those that are in
their last gasp. Mr.. Ogden will do we'll
to read what the Hon. Mr.. Parker has to
say about the head of their common
family.

MORE ABOUT THAT
OVERWHELMING VICTORY.

In relation to the advertisement which appears
in the New Orleans Times of the first instant. /
would respectfully submit to the pubic the follow.
ing facts
Previous to making entries for competition at
the Louisiana State Fair, I was waited upon by a
com mittee OF the different Sewing Machine Agents
Of this city, and requested to agree not to enter
our machines for competition, they agreeing to
follow the same course, with the understanding
that all could compete with SAMPLES Of work
done by their machines. As this would be, in fact
the best and truest test of the value of a sewing
machine, agreed to it, and faithfully performed
my obligations, feeling perfect reliance in the
ability OF the machine that represent to do better
work than any other and made fourteen entries 10
different departments Of the Fair, and i'll that class
which appears all premiums offered for machine
work. We received every premium where we had
machine agents for competition, and twelve out of
sixteen or seventeen Of all the premiums awarded
machine agents. And this is how the Eight Shut.
tle-Stitch machines were defeated by the Grover
\ Baker Elastic Stitch machine namely By the
failure of their agents to win with them single
premium in the regular premium list offered by the
Fair Association for machine stitching As to the
wall of those companies who old not compete for
ZEN brodery work and other samples of machine
sewing, unless they tell us why they did not COM
pete, much fear that the public will come to this
very natural conclusion. that they were afraid to
enter the contest. l am well aware that there
were no premiums offered gwen on sewing ma
chaines at the Fifth Louisiana Fair and have
yet to see or hear of anybody who said there were.
