our DUTY ~ CUBi.

Senior dc Armas CCspcdcs has published q
pamphlet addressed to Congress and to TIE
press of the United States, in which he dis
cusses the position OF the Government of the
United States on the Cuban question. lie
writes with more calmness and moderation
than is usual with pa,'iots who arc struggling
against overwhelming odds, and who have
been deprived of the friendship end sympathy
which they regard as justly due TO them lie
states succinctly and clearly what the attitude
of orr Government formerly was in relation
to tho question of Cuban independence.
SO long as it was feared that the
infection of liberal ideas among the
Spanish-American republics might result in
instruction and cor equcnt abolition of
Slavery in Cuba, The Government of the
United States made no secret Of It's wish that
the relations Of Spain aEd Cuba should re.

in the dispatches of M Adams, Mr.. Clay, and
Mr.. Van buren,, TO the American Ministers in

put down an imaginary English and Abolition

This offer was gratefully acknowledged
by D'Argaiz, the Spanish Minister in Wash

the Antilles under pretense of protecting
them. But up to the time Of the Ostend Con-

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. CORRECTED.

There is q spirited canvass in progress in
Connecticut, which eliminates one week hence
in the choice of State Officers and new Legis-
lature. TIE TRIBUNE, having relinquished, Mt
least for the present, the business of telling
people how to vote, has scarcely intermedded
in this contest, save to say that, while the can
didates for State Officers were, as we have
learned and believe, all capable and good
citizens, we did not see that a Republican who
preferred another than Gen. Grant for Presi-
dent need vote against Gov Jewell on that
account. Hereupon, The Times tells its readers
that "Nr. Greeley says it is very injurious to
"introduce the name Of Gen. Grant into the
Connecticut canvass" Ia naked, unqualified
le,l and proceeds, without quoting a syllable
from The TRIBUNE, to quote at length from
The World, which of course argues that tho
Liberal Republicans ought every one to vote
against Gov. Jewell and thcreupon to talk of
"a shameless bargain" and of our "sy way of
"telng the Connecticut Republicans that
"they may just as well vote the Democratic
"ticket,n &C., &c.
Take one further illustration:
Tie Times assumes to set forth other folks
objections to the denomination of Gen. Grant,
and assigns this one to us:
"Mr Greeeys great objection to Gen. Grant is that he
has appointed he professional politicians to Office"
Now it is not true that Gen. Grant has
confined his appointments wholly or mainly to
"the professional politicians" and it certainly
has never been urged as our great objection"
to his reelection. OF his first Cabinet Messrs.
Hamilton Fish, Alex. Il. Stewart and Adolph
n. Borie were hardly politicians at all in the
81 Al W hoo af
Lect and Stocking in politics till they turned
up at the receipt of custom. So far as we
can Judge, while there are notable exceptions,
Gen. Grant has appointed to Office moro per-
sons who had no claim whatever on the party
which elected him than any former President
during the last forty years.
Our great objection" Gf we may be allowed
TO utter our own thoughts) to Gen. Grants
appointments TO Office is this-Thay often
indicate that he regards the Presidency as
an estate which he has acquired or inherited
rather than as an exalted trust, for bis fidelity
to which he is morally responsible 1t is this
view Only that enables us to comprehend his
appointment of so many relatives of his
family to coveted and often lucrative posi-
tons. How instinctvely Washington,
jefferson and their cOmpeers, recolcd from
making such appointments, is well known.
We are certain that Gen. Grant has not meant
TO err in this respect had his constitutional
advisers been uniformly frank, fearless, faith
full, he would have avoided the error. He fell
into it because of his inexpericnce in politics
and his mistaken conception of the great
trust conided to him by the American People
And this miscOnception explains his other
unfortunate appointments, which are less
numerous than his good ones, but which would
have been far fewer had he clearly appre-
hended the true nature and scope of his powers.

| The question Of Beer or No Beer continues 10 ag-
tao the Legislature Of Massachusetts, or did so at
the latest advices The Boston Transcript quotes
with great reverence the opinion of DR.. III. j. Bow
ditch which is that clinical experience proves if
1t prove anything that every form Of stimulant
in use can be made blessing if used temporarily
and on proper occasions but if used Unexpectedly
or improperly, each and all may become poisonous to
the last degree" This would be very well, or
precisely speaking, it would not be 30 bad, if the
temperate user of alcohol could be sure that he
would always retain his selfcommand and never
lapse into the elf-posonng admitted to be possible
by DR.. Bowditch. Unfortunately, the measure of q
mans self-contro cannot be determined until his
life is over. or until he has lapsed iuto excess.
What total abstinence men insist upon III
this matter is rational recognition Of
the clements Of risk. BY the way,
every year the members of the Massachusetts, Legs-
lature go by invitation to visit some great lagerbcer
brewery. for the purpose, suppose, Of practically
testing tho question Of its intoxicating properties
Recently, delegation of these lawmakers III
spected the brewery of Mr., Burkhardt and sought
for knowledge by tasting and smelling. We take the
liberty Of saying that they know more now than
they did before. The facts remain that this beer does
contain a very small percentage of alcohol; that
large quantities Of it unless it has been adulterated
as ii sometimes H. may DO taken without inebria-
ton but that ii is temptation to drink, not for
snstenance but for the sake of drinking. and is
therefore to be regarded with a certain degree of
suspicion. TIE question is whether it does not do
more harm than good-a question which men will
answer according to their habits, notions opinions,
and preiudices.

1t looks like very liberal thing for the
Japanese Government to assume the liabilities
of the dcposed Daimios to foreigners. Many OF
these princes owe considerable amounts for
ships, machinery, and war material, most OIL
which go to the Imperial Government IN

the Daimios not only surrendered war
munitions with their power, but enoi-
nous revenues, out OF when 'neir

tanning many articles appropriate to The sea-
son. Among these may be especially noticed
two Christmas stories: A Doc OF FLANDERS.
by Ouida, and SHADOWS OF CHRIsrxAs FIRE,
by L. Clarke Davis. The former gives pa.
thetic picture of struggling genius in enc OF
those quaint old Belgian cities where the relics
and traditions of the past afford constant
stimulant to the aspirations Of art; while the
latter traces the temptations and the Difficult
ties, the suferings and the triumphs, OF self
made man, who passes through his last ordeal
lat the moment when love is about to crown his
life, and the Christmas bells are ringing their
promise of happiness and peace. The new
American novel, Ayrous, opens in this num-
Der, and promises to be full of interest both as
o cleverly managed story and as skillful
delineation Of character and manners. Tyres

whose recollections of the customs and social
habits of her native country enable her to give
US something more than a mere travellers

Qua New PoRT Storm SIGNALS, by Professor
Thompson b. Maury, embodies a mass of in-

the course and action of storms, and the means
adopted by the Government TO give warning of
their approach, by a system already productive

There comes time when we grow old,
And like sunset down the sea,
Slope gradual, and the night wind cold
Comes whispering sad and chillingly;
And locks are gray
As winters day,
And eyes Of saddest blue behold
The leaves all weary drift away,
And lips of faded coral say,
: There comes time when we grow old.
There comes time when laughing spring
And golden summer cease TO be:
And we put on the autumn robe,
To tread the last decliviiy;
But now the slope,
With rosy Hope
Beyond the sunse, We behold,
Another dawn with fsirer light;
While watchers whisper through the night
There is a time when we grow old.
