THE CUBAN QUESTION

Is assuming monster proportions in
the public mind of the United States.
1.-THE impression already given to pub
lie Indignation continues for thirty
days, we need not be surprised to see
the American flag soon floating over
Moro Castle and the battlements of
Cuba. -rg NanH
The oft-repeated insults to American
citizens and our flag, on the part of
Spanish power in Cuba, have for long
years past been chronic, and need not
be repeated. aI
The last feather on the cancels back
consists In the recent capture of the
steamship Virginius by theSpanlsh war
steamer Tornado, and the almost In
Simultaneous murder of her officers,
crew and considerable number of Gu
bans, Americans and other foreigners,
charged with being en- route to rein
force the army of Cuban patriots, who
for five years have been struggling to
throw of the yoke of Spanish despo-
tism. One hundred and sixty-eight
souls were thus launched into eternity,
by the brutal edicts Of subaltern Span
ish officials at Santiago de Cuba.
The Virginius was evidently vessel
! sailing IN the Interest of Cuban indie
,pendence. This we admit. But she
was cleared froman American port and
was sailing under the American flag.
She was captured withinthree miles of
Jamaica, in British colonial waters, in
violation Of national law which fixes
thrre marine leagues, or nine miles, as
~ the limit within which nations at wal
shall not meet in hostile array from
. the shores Of n neutral territory.
In this case the barbarous execution

eiuding the common sailors belongin,

has voted $50 900 bonds. Send it along:

sequence, travel and frcights have turn

sIlxht Reportorial Mistakes.

A reporter having dined with some
friends, attended u lecture aftcrward, and
favored the public with the following re-
port: "Thc lecture last evening was
y brilliant affair. The hall ought to
have been filled, but We are sorry to
say only forty persons were present.
The speaker commenced by saying that
he was BY birth an ecclesiastical deduc-
ton gave learned description Of sa-
tan, and his skill in saving trees.
Among other things he stated that the
patriach Abraham taught CcrOps arith-
metic. We trust the eloquent divine
NAV be induced to repeat the lecture at
some further day" What the lecturer
said of the reporter: "Dear Sir-ln
u report of my lecture in your beautiful
city, you made some mistakes which l
wish to correct. You made me speak
of myself AS by birth IN ecclesiastical de-
duction.' What l said was that was
not by birth, but only enthusiastically,
Dutchman. Instead Of speaking Of 50
tan as saving trees, l spoke Of him as
sewing tarcs. said nothing of Abara-
ham; 6ut spoke Of Arabians as nomads
of patriarchal simplicity. l said that Ce-
crops wa. the founder Of Athens, and
instructed the people in agriculture"

Now that one of the Senatorial places
may possibly be vacated (although Jim
Legate and L. r. Smith hold to the con-
trary) VIC may speculate as to who is to
Succeed Caldwell. 1t will do no harm
to talk, at any rate. Ifthc Office is not
vacated, it certainly ought to be. There
seems to be a feeling prevailing that no
one who took an active part with York
in his exposure can be the winning man,
as the testimony lately brought out at
Topeka seems to put him in the same
category with Pomcroy. Hence, Snoddy,
Simpson, anl that class Of politicians,
who expected to make stock for them
selves by active participancy in the
York proceedings, will be ignored. Mel
ther can the loudest supporters of Pome-
roy expect to gain the Senatorial goal.
The successful man will be the one who
has mixed up very little in Senatorial
matters-some such man as Ingalls,, who
can receive Pomeroy as we'll as anti
Pomeroy votes. We do not know of .
man among the candidates at last Sena-
toriaI election QIogan, Phillips, Lowe
and Harvey who will have a ghost Of q
chance unless it be Lowe or Harvey.
These gentlemen may possibly work up
considerable strength. In our opinion,
some new man will stand q better chance
to carry the day. 1t is asserted that the
members Of the Legislature, who voted
TOR Pomeroy, arc united, and will vote
solid for the man they will unite upon.
Those who voted against Pomeroy be-
fore may possibly be able to do the same
thing. Better feeling would prevail
throughout tho State were the dead is
sues laid aside, and tho Legislature 10
choose some man, irrespective of his
past political associa tons, provided he
is not corrupt and is qualified.
