The Cuban embroglio promises to
prove II farce. 1t had an air Of blus-
ter from the first. Tho Uuitod States
accepts tho roparation offered oy
Spain. 1t strikes US however thut
money is q poor compensation for tue
lives of human beings. The crew of
tho Virginus either wero, or were
not, guilty. If guilty no compensa-
tion is necessary. If not guilty they

their murder can DO satisfied .nly

not promise to punish the murdorers.
She merely agrees to have them tried.
Nothing is more easy than to have
Burriell and his followers acquitted.
If tho United States has prico set

it would be interesting to kaow at

struck with the general government
or their removal to that land where
the wicked cease from troubling.

Amendments to tho Constitution,


Several amendments to the consti.
tuition Of tho United States have
been proposed by Mr.. Sumner in the
Senate. Que provides for the clec~
tion of President by tho direct vote
of the people and tho abolition Of
tho Vicc Presidency. Another pro.
poses that the President shall DO
elected for Fix years, and be inoligis
bic for second term. Both these
amendments arc good. The evils Of
second term have become too cvi.
dent, especially of later years. So
soon as al individual is elected for
the first term, his whole efiocts are
directed to obtaining second term
and patronage is luvishcd " ith a view
to this rather than to fitness of the
appointccs. Remove tho temptation
and the evil will DO renewed. Pres.
ldont Grant proposes another amend
mcnt, by which the Prcsid ont may
bc permitted to veto portion Of an
act and and approve tho rest. This
also is wise measure. The only
difficulty is that tho old constitution
will bo soon so patched up with
amendments that it will not be re.
co2nizablo. Add another amendment
allowing women and Chinese to vote
and tho constitution will bo perfect.
Tho New Chief Justice.
President Graut has nominated
A.torncy-Gencral Williams as Chief
Justice of the United States Supreme
Court. Attorney. General Williams is
from Oregon, and vas the first cabinet
officer appointed from the Pacific slope
The President might have found
many ablcr persons than Mr.. Will.
liams to fill this responsible position.
What arc the motives for this an.
pointmont We cannot pei ceivo. 1t may
bc that tho administration has lately
been so badly thrcshcd cut by the
farmers of California and Oregon that
1t deems some honor Of this kind
necessary to win these States back in
tho fold. If Grant has shown oriai.
nality in nothing else. he certainly
has evinced originality in selecting
his subordinat,s. Men in who,nsthc
public have found nothing, arc dis.
covered by the President to be capa.
BILE of filling tho highest and gruvest
Offices. Wc arc grievod to say that
Grant has not beoa able to obtain
popular verdict in favor Of his ap.
pointmonts.

thorities in Ohio. Our neighbors

did not need our assistance, they ten
dored their warmest thanks. The
