among the nations of the world. The settle
ment Of the Southern question on a broad,
generous basis Of constitutional freedom for
every State in the Union, leaving the negro
problem, like every other, to be solved by local
laws and local interests, will raise him in
the South almost to the level Of the
Father Of his Country. He will at least take
the position of the guardian and preserver Of
the liberties Of an important section Of the
Union. The settlement Of the Cuban question
on basis Of humanity and freedom will raise
the nation in the estimation of all foreign
Powers, and will teach them the extent Of the
influence and strength of the Republic. A
complete change in the Cabinet will of course
be necessary step in this patriotic pro-
gramme, and minor reforms, such as the
publication Of the civil service, the protec-
ton Of the shipping interests, and general
improvement in our foreign policy, will follow
naturally in its wake. But the two now nm.
slightly blocks out Of which President Grant
can carve if he will magnifc ent monument

are the oppressed Southern States and en-
slaved Cuba.
If the people Of the United States had no
other cause for sympathy with those who for
more than four years have been fighting the
battle of independence in Cuba, sufficient
one would be found in the fact that upon the

Father Burke on Froude.

The wisdom of the English Chancellor of
the Exchequer in expressing to Mr.. Froude
his belief that the mission Of the Eng
lish historian to America would fail to
produce the wished-for result of con-
verting Americans into admirers of English
policy in Ireland will, in all probability, be
justified. We have, when commenting on the
lectures of Mr. Froude, pointed out that his
theories were based upon arguments of brute
force, which, as freemen loving justice above
all things, we could neither accept nor
applaud. After oil the skilful pleading of
Mr.. Froude we felt that he had no
grounds upon which he could justify Eng
lish rule in Ireland except the questionable
one of the right of the strong to oppress the
weak. Such an argument being opposed to
the fundamental principles of our government.
can never be accepted by an American audi
ence. On the contrary, the picture Of the
weak battling for freedom and right must ever
command our sympathy. Father Burke last
night undertook to overthrow the pretence
upon which the right of England to con-
quer Ireland was founded. He began BY
showing that Mr.. Froude, Notwithstanding
his professions Of kindly feeling for Ireland,
was, like most Englishmen, incapable Of COM
pretending the feelings or aspirations of the
Irish people. While allowing him to be in
fuenced by the best intentions, Father Burke
asserted that his judgment was warped by
native prejudice, and in support of this
theory made some apt quotations from Mr..
Froude's works, which gave strong color to
the charge of disingenuousness that was
levelled against him. The peculiar feature of
the defence made by Father Burke was, that
all the authorities by which he disproved the
statements of Mr.. Froude were English, and,
in many instances, the very same men whom
Mr.. Froude had called to his aid on the other
side of the question. 1t is due to Father
Burke to say that the discussion was carried
on with marked courtesy and that everything
like personality was carefully avoided In the
dexterous denial Of the bull of Adrian the
fervor of the priest was, perhaps, apparent;
but, if we except this delicate passage, there
was more Of the soldier than the priest in his
eloquent defence Of the Irish cause There
was in the lecture the same defect that was
visible in the treatment of the Norman Con-
quest by Mr.. Froude. Neither gen.
tleman treated the subject exhaust
lively The Dominican devoted him
self to defence Of the Irish
society Of the period, and showed clearly that
the statements Of Mr.. Froude were contra
dicted expressly by distinguished contem-
porary authority drawn from English sources
He demonstrated that the Irish were by no
means the degraded or insubordinate race that
Mr.. Froude had pictured them. He admitted
that society in Ireland had been disorganized
by three hundred years of warfare against the
Danes but claimed that they were rapidly
re-establshing order when the Normans,
urged by the thirst Of conquest, appeared on
the scene Taking their own records as his
authority, he presented terrible arraignment
against ''the Norman civilzers." If we NAV

THE SCRAMBLE FOR THE TREASURY. The
scramble for Mr.. Boutwells boots by Mr. E.
d. Morgan and Mr.. Henry Clews promises to
be lively one. Although Mr.. Morgan is
backed by the Cockney New York organ of
the republican "Ring," Mr.. Clews is said to
have the best of the ex-senator. AS the gen.
erl opinion of the merchants and fnanciers
Of New York is that the boots are too big for
both of these aspirants to Cabinet honors, the
probability is that when Mr.. Boutwell, takes
them off neither Mr.. Clews nor Mr.. Morgan
will be allowed to put them on.
