naneial depression which has 60 Frustrated
tgiiness. Our experience AMI ubssrvl-
tons agree, however, that matters have
really frightened little for the past few
days, and we privately learn that q SINH
lar feeling Is even more marked and gen.
eral in Philadelphia.
There is reasonable ground for suspect
Ing that the so.callei New FORK, or rather
Brooklyn, detective " who has been In
terviewing the men Imprisoned at New
Castle on charge Of burglary Is a hum
bug. It would not surprise anybody at
New Castle if he should turn out to be
an accompllce of the rascals. At all
events he needs watching, and an espe'
clally sharp watch Is required to avoid
any attempt Of the rasCals to escape.
The Tribune, in an article eongratulat
ing the Governors OF the several Statei

proclamatious this year, speaks Of Massa

Canfes ae.i.
It Is stated, BY way Of apology and
excuse for the failure of the Spanish
Government to prevent the outrages
against humanity and the laws of civil
HEED warfare by Its supporters In Croa'
that IL is really DESTROYS Of preventing
this barbarlsm, but that II "sdmits the
impracticlble character Of those with
"whom It has to deal In CUBA" and
refers to the troubles which now eonvulse
Spain herself, rendering her almost, II
" not quite, powerless to act efficiently In
"ahalrs of Cuba,' as the reason why the
home government does not restrain the
excuses which, under other eireum-
stances, might be prevented. Such an
apology Is worse than a defeat In battle
to the Spanish pretenee of right 10
rule Cuba. No government has any
claim which other governments are
bound TO respect 10 sovereignty over
people whom 1t is powerless to restrain
from committing depredations on neigh
boring nations, or their citizens or sub
ects.
In fact such confession as this, If for
mally made by the Spanish Government,
would be tantamount to recognition Of
Cuban Independence, Bat whether Spain
admits It or not, it is the truth, and the
government in Cuba to-day Is nothing
but the reign Of gang Of bloody out
laws in the name and under the Tag oil
Spain, but as irresponsible to the Spanish
Government as is the rebel government
on the island. The present government
in Spain, Rssailed by domestic foes and
insecure and uncertain o. existence, has
as much as It can do TO maintain ITSELF
snd Its attempt to rule a people foul
thousand miles away would be Joke III
for laughter did not the bloody devils
VINO undertake the task for II and in III
name turn the comedy into horrible
tragedy. Even q strong and secure gov
eminent in spain could not well maintain
It's authority In Cuba II resisted, but FOL
this feeble and totteling concern to at
tempt to extend It's puuy srm across The
Atlantic is too absurd for patient con
sideration.
The time has come for vigorous actor
" the only government worth consider

We sprint ELSEWHERE a report OF an
interview Of an EVERY EVENING reporter
with s. NJ. Harrington, ED, by whom
not merely the present system OF obtain
ing Jurors for the L. S. Courts was
severely criticised, but Marshal Dunn
was charged with gross abu'es OF the
authority vested in him. We preferred
10 publish the charges without special
comment OF our own as they came from
a responsible source, a gentleman who
needs no editorial vouching for or other
endorsement, to secure for airy OF his
statements a careful and respectful hear
ing by the people OF this city or state
He is withel a prominent member of the
party responsible for Dunn's appoint
ment and continuance In Office, and there
fore his charges will fall with greater
force thsn If they proceeded from Polit-
lcal opponent Of the Marsha's.
We have frequently heard it charged
that Dunn had Dragged Of his ability to
pack juries, but we never accused him OF
1t, for the lack OF adequate proof partly
aud partly because we despaired Of any
result TO come from the performance Of
this most dsagreeable duty. We have
been accused Of prosecuting this mar

An Intcrcst-Bearing Reserve,

The Importance OF large currency

It is admitted by all that the great diff
Guilty lie to get banks or other similar in
situations to hold a sufficient reserve

serve of interest bearing stocks will not
answer the purpose, as was demonstrated
by the suspension Of the Union Trust
Company, Of New York, through its in
ability At the very height OF the panic TO
obtain money for United States bonds
with which TO meet the demands upon 1t.
Could not this difficulty be net by the
reissue of the interest bearing U. 5.

then when the worst came TO the worst
and the whole Of INC reserve had to be
called up to meet the emergency, there
need be no money around to realize in
securities, but these notes would be cur

need produce no imitation, a. the notes

tunate persons captured on board the
Virginius, and also by Philadelphia tele-
grams. stating that unusual activity pro-
walls at the League Island Navy Yard.
No one seems to doubt that the destina-
ton of the monitor Manhattan Is Havana,
and the fact is generally accepted rs
proof that our Government has deter
mined upon some decisive slep, If not TO
save the lives VI The remaining prisoners,
certainly TO protect, at all hazards, the
liberty and lives Of the passengers who
went hence to Havana by the steamer

Cuba's bloody OPpressOrs Murder
Our citizens and Insult our Flag

Announcement was made in our tele-
graphic columns, some days ago, OF the
summary execution OF four officers oil

Spanish authorities at Cuba.and alleged
20 be engaged in hostnlties against the
Spanish government on that Island
Prom all that can be learned OF the mat
ter the reports coming through Spanish
sources-it seems that at most the Vif-
1ini,s was a blockade runner She had
an American register, sailed under the
American flag, and one of the oil
GERS executed was an American. The
vessel, when captured, was not loaded
with arms or ammunition, nor with any
thing contraband Of war A blockade
runner from England, carrying munitions
Of war to the Carlists, was recently cap
tured off tho coast of Spain, and her
officers and crew were also thrown into
prison, but they were as promptly re-
leased on the decided demand Of tn
representative of the British government.
The provocation in the case of the
| ViTqinius was not half what ii was In the
case of the British vessel DeerhoWnd
above referred to, and yet the crew is not
merely thrown into prison, but four OF
the officers are deliberately, butchered In
cold blood by the Spanish authorities in
Cuba. The outrage is not merely
cruel and bloody defiance Of deeency and
humanity, but it is Il deliberate insult tC
this republic, which, had we a man In
stead of fish in the State Department
would be resented in such way that Thu
