THE HUBBARD POSTAL TELEGRAPH

The Committee on Appropriations have
earned the distinction Of having reported,
aud ipso flcio asked the House to pass, one Of
the most stupendouI Jobs aud Swindles that
has come before Congress In a long while -
We mean tho Hubbard postal telegraph bill
We are in favor Of the postal telegraph as
recommended By the President aud the Post
master Gencrnl-of the Government having
the supreme control aud direction Of the
wires, and managing thsm In connection
With the Post Ohise Dcpartmsnt-but the
Hubbard bill cOntemplatss nothing Of
be kind. It simply proposes to give
10 ons monopoly In lieu Of another;
o transfer to one set Of spectators what IL
low the property OF another. Not only that
jut It gives to the Ingenious gentlemen who
Iro Interested In this scheme advantages aud
benefits which the present Western Union
Company does not enjoy, among which may
70 mentioned the exemption from taxation,
iatlonal State and municipal; q co-partncr-
hip with the Government, 10 which, II any
1ne IL to lose money, the Government is to
ose the whole lnaleuc1 and business Of the
Government, beildes numerous other dona-
ions OF yalue and enolument such az once
Dom, messengers and so forth. In return
Tor all this, the company on ip part contracts
nat messages shall be transmitted at u rate
Delow that now charged; and that, In the
went OF failure, the Government may take
possession OF their wires and let them ont to
,ther parties.
Now this IL not the plan which Mr.. CrOs-
veil has recommended, aud It Is sincerely to
&c hoped that Congress will not agree to la
lasslgs. Il would be a fraud upon this pub
&C. an Injustice to companies now In eI-
stencs, and Of no possible advantage to any
me outsids OF the ring Of spectators who
IRE running IT, and who have already been so

Iary committee stages. II we are to have

The American pross during the last month
has taken lively interest in tho Cuban
question, and devoted TO II a large and patr-
otto consideration. The message Of the Pres
ident attracted attention to the subject, and
although 1t did not 90 as far as the enthusiast
tic friends Of the insurgents desired or ex-
Pected II cannot be deuied that the illusions
which 1t contained In regard TO Spanish
policy In the Queen Of tue Antil6 have re-
suited iu great good TO the nsurgent cause.
Tbs discussion which has arisen had
the effect Of crystalizing public opinion,
and Of educating our people up to q
more earnest appreciation Of the nature and
magnitude Of the quarrel aud Of the respective
prospects Of the contestants. The great dan.
ger to the Cubans is Indifference and apathy
on the part Of the United States. The more
the revolution In Cuba is discussed In the press
OF America, the more certain are its friends
and sympathizerS In increase. II Spain could
have her own way she would simply stamp
oct all discussion and reference TO the war the
Cubans are wagIng for their independence.
g. Within the last month every newspaper 10
the country has spoken In frank and fearless
terms on the Cuban question. The move
ment Of the South American Republics in be-
half Of the revolutionIsts has been warmly
commended, while the colorod people have
taken an unusual interest 10 the matter and
In masS meetings 10 various parts OF tho
country have demanded that the patriots
should be at once accorded belllgerent rights.
1t is only natural that the colorcd men OF the
United States should take a kindly interest In
their brethren Of Cuba, for, as the 81. Louis
GEOOs, stnuuch aud able Republican
paper says IN recent number, ''the
Cuban revolution has been wrought by
the American example Of Liberation, aud
the Spanish hOsllllIcs are prosecuted not
only against the clear right Of people 10
seIf-government, but for the maintenance of
human chattelitm and with the TcmOrseless
cruelty Of demons. The Productiyeness Of
that garden realm IL disustrOu,ly checked, lie

mated aud rcgn Of brutal Gendlsbness Is
dssolauugly kept up year alter year In con-

struggle the c"lurcl people have been the
principal sufferer. The most horrible bar

From the Washington Patriot.
Senator Howe has but one regret. His
official life is rapidly drawing to an end, ,
and he looks back on its record with
calm cOntentment. There is but one
flaw, one blemish, one spot on what he
hopes may be his ermine. 1t may kill
the Senator, only to. rise again, the
Judge. Unluckily, too, this solitary
self-reproach has its origin in an act of
kindness to the unfortunate. All his
votes of acrid hostility to the desOlated
South, all hisspeeches against amnesty,
his prostitution for San Domingo, his
association with Murphy and Bliss, his
sympathy with Whitley, give him no
concern. But he was once betrayed
into an act of generosity and charity.
The good, loyal citizens Of Portland,
in the loyal State of Maine, We're Wis
tied by fire, and q measure for their re-
lief was introduced into Crongress. The
Wisconsin Senator seems to think he
may have voted tor it, and we find him
in a revised speech, a few days ago,
rather oddly recanting: 81 am very
sorry to hear there is such u statute as
that giving relief to the people of Port
land. l am sorry to say 1 did not know
it, although 1 was in the Senate at the
time it passed. did not know that
