There are rumors that the government
policy towards Cuba will soon undergo a
change, consequent upon recent proceed
ings in that quarter. The condition of
that island under the reign of revolution
and terror attending the Spanish rule, is
one of utter insecurity for the life or prop
erty of foreigners, and the utmost forbear-
ance ON the part OF this and other govern
ments is practised towards Spain when
they keep their hands from Cuba.

That he has treated thousands of cases and

The True Grounds of Conf.
dence.

Whence comes that firm reliance, that
absolute, undoubting faith in the efficacy
of Hostetter's Stomach Bltters as a remedy
for indigestion, bilious disorders, intermit-
tent and remittent fevers, which notorious
" prevails in all parts Of the United States?
This confidence has been growing for twen-
ty years, and 1t is still extending. 1t is not
the result of credulity; it has not been en-
gendered by any human device, but is the
experience. What people see daily going
on under their own eyes they cannot ques-
ton. When families in unhealthy districts
that resort to this wholesome vegetable
tonic as preventive, escape periodical
fevers, and their immediate neighbors, who
neglect that precaution, are PROSTATE by
the disease, how is 1t possible that the phen-
omenon should be without its lesson? In
like manner when II Is seen that obstinate
cases of dyspepsia, OF liver complaint, of
constipation, OF nervous weakness, and of
general debility, yield to the operation OF
the famous remedy, how can even incredu-
lily itself withhold its endorsement? Eye
witnesses OF the SANITARY elleCtS Vi tue OIL
tiers, are to be found in every civilized set
Element on this continent. The thousands
upon thousands who owe their restoration
to health and strength, or their preserva-
ton from sickness to its extraordinary med
icinal properties, are enthusiastic in its
praise. The multitudes who recommend it
in neighborly way to their friends and
acquaintance, as well as those who make
public their estimate of its virtues, are al
ways ready to state their reasons for the
faith that is in them. They have all either
felt or witnessed its benificent operations.

prepared for such a poser, and it was
naughty in the REGISTER to PROFOUND

Issues OflS72.

A great deal of speculation is being
INDUCED in by the press, not only in re-
gard to the availability of candidates in
the approaching Presidential canvass,
but also as to the issues to be involved.
1t is very generally conceded that sew
eral new issues will be presented, and
that the political elements arrayed
against Grant will be in accord upon
some such platform as the following,
which we find stated by the New York
Sun:
|. One term of office for the Presi-
dent, and no more; the Constitution to
be amended to secure this reform.
II. Both Grantism and Tweedism to
be abolished in national affairs, by laws
for the prevention and summary pun
ishment Of present taking and bride
taking, as well as of public robbery.
III. Universal amnesty and restora-
ton of political rights to all persons
concerned IN the late rebellion.
w. Reform in the civil service, so
that appointment to office will no longer
depend on party patronage and cannot
be used as means Of corrupting the pol
itics Of the country and perpetuating
unworthy men in high places.
V. Reform of the revenue; reduction
in the number OF revenue officers and
the expenses of collecting duties and
taxes; fixed salaries for all revenue
officers in large seaports and elsewhere {;
the abolition Of import duties on all the
necessaries OF life, and the reduction of
other duties to a consistent, rational and
moderate system; the abolition Of I'm.
constitutional and superfluous internal
taxes, leaving only tobacco and distilled
spirits as the subjects of such taxation.
vi. Legislation to prevent the levy
blackmail upon clerks and other public
officers for party political purposes, and
for the summary punishment alike OF
those who demand and those who pay
such contributions.

pROBABLEsPANIsHw WAR.

There is q very encouraging prospect
of a lively little row with Spain. An
American vessel, the Hornet" accused
OF renderi ns aid and assistance to the
Cubans in their effort for independence
has been for several months pas. block
AIDED at Port au Prince by Spanish
armed chips. Another, the Florida,
similarly accused but shown to be guilt
less Of any violation Of neutrality IS
blockaded at st. Thomas. The Span
isb Government has also failed to pro-
tect American citizens in Cuba VINO
were accused Of sympathizing with the
insurgents. A few days ago party OF
Cuban students insulted the grave Of
C.srASoy, the editor OF the Spanish
newspaper organ in Cuba, who was
killed at Key West about two years ago.
The affair created intense excitement,
a number of the students were arrested
and tried by court martial and eight OF
them were shot. The excitement at
tending this affair has probably pro-
yoked fresh outrages upon the
American residents in CUBA and
exposed them to imminent danger.
In conscience OF urgent dispatches to
this effect from Mr.. BGDDLE, the Amerl'
can Consul General at Havana, fleet OF
United States war vessels has been Or
dered to that place with instructions to
see that American citizens be not mo-
Tested, and that proper respect Is shown
TO the American flag. At the same
time, it is reported that General SIcKLEs

Madrid and is coming hastily home.
A few days more will either disslpate

a conflict that will he short, sharp

A war with Spain at this time would
be attended with a good degree OF POP
ulsrity, and would probably enhance
General GRANTS prospects of re-elec
ton. The latter consideration, while II
is the principal one that would detrac'
from the popularity of the war, is the
one that renders it most probable that

The attention Of the REGISTER is re-

is q letter from Democratic Iowa
editor, who declares that the Democrats
ic party is dead and that the carcass
must be buried. The other is q letter
from John Quincy Adams, OF Massa'
chusetts, advising the Democracy to
abandon their organization as a party
and support some opposition Republi-
can for next President That is to say,
one plan is to bury the corpse at once,
and the other is to keep it as long as
the weather permits. We would like
very much to know which plan our
neighbor acknowledgement, Thurs
day.
Neither, sir! The party that cast
2,64S, $50 votes for SEYMOUR three years
ago and has now in its keeping nearly
one-half of all the electoral votes and
has reasonably fair chance OF getting
thirty or forty more, is rather too lively
a corpse for any country editor in Iowa
to bury. and don't love General GRANT
enough to permit him to walk over the
course. And now. having answered
your question, please answer ours: II
GRANT is nominated by the Republicans
for President, will the Wheeling I"te!H
