verg. Of bankruptcy. Cuba has made a.
gallant fight for her independence as has
sver been made In all history. Her citizens
have been compelled to suffer the most inhu-
man and cruel torture. The loss Of their
property has been the least Of their sufIerings
and sacrifices.
In view Of all these circumstances Mr..
Banks resolutions are most opportune, and
il Is to be hoped that they will receive care
ful consideration and favorable action from
Congress- In one point Of view they are OBJ
Icctlonable, lnasmuch ne they direct q devla-
tion from our traditional policy, that we
should have no entangllng alliances with
European Powers. Mr.. Banks does not. to
be sure, mean exactly an alliance but his rec
oiutions, II adopted, would he a step in that
direction. The omission Of the European
Powers would, however, not materially impair
their force and efficacy, and on the whole we
think Il would be wise to omit them, and CON
6ne whatever action may he ordered exclu.
sivcly to American Powers. That would be
more In accordance with our policy, and
would answer all the purposes which Mr..
Banks hopes to accomplish. The feeling In
favor of Cuba is steadily gaining ground In
tho United States, and the days OF a merely
passive policy on our part may be said TO be
numbered. We cannot any longer resist the
logic Of events.

THE RIGBT CoCR.E.

Suage fOIani In The House yesterday re-
ported the testimony Thus far taken In the
credit mObilier proceedings before his com.
mittss and asked that 1t be printed This Is
step In the right direction, 10 far as the
making up Of the Judgment OF the committee
aud tho House Is concerned, aud cannot fall
TO inspire the country with confidence lu the
report that 1t may present. The public want
the whole record, and we are glad to know
that there Is no attempt TO suppress or
delay II.
good deal, pro and con, has scan said
upon this whole credit mOblllsr business
Grave charges and inculpations have beeu
made against this and that man. tho Uppusl-
tiOn press has Numbered its indignation as 1t
scarcely ever Numbered II before, but when
the whole mass OF what Is called evidence is
sifted We do believe that the mountain Of In.
fanny and crime that has boon so zealously
piled up will dwindle down to very small
mole hill. One or two gentlemen, there is no
doubt, occupy very uncomfortable posi-
tlon, but we must remember that thoy have
not rested their case yet, and II Ia possible
that some strong and uuauswerable explana-
tions will yet be made. There is Mr.. Colfax.
for instance. lie still stoutly denies that he
received the check for 81, 900 that Mr.. Amos
testlaes he gave him; aud as his lawyer L.
now engaged in examining his papers and
accounts and repairing the blunders which
Mr.. COlfaT himself made when he undertook
to conduct his own defence, We still entertain
the hope that the cloud which rests upon his
good name may be removed. Mr.. Colfax has
hundreds of thousands of friends and sup
porters among the best people In the country,
and II must be a consolation TO him to know
that he still retalns their confidence and es-
teen. Tho receptions which he has received
within the last ten days In Philadelphia and
Baltimore from the Young Mems Christian
Associations must have been highly gratifying
to him. They show how strong Mr.. Colfax l.
with the people and what deep impression
his zeal and ieryor has made upon the public
mind.
The country, however, expects a fair and
impartial report from the credit mobiler
committee, and especially does the RErUB-
LIcAS expect It, ANY attempt to shield any
one Of the gentlemen concerned will inovi-
tably defeat Itself and bring ruin upon the
party. Equal and exact justice must be dealt
out 10 alto Democrats aud Republicans
Alike. II In the option Of the committee any
Que has done wrong let that fact be stated.
grave and important public duty dsvOlves
upon Mr.. Poland's committee, and in saying
that 1t will bo performed fearlessly and i'm
partially we know that we only anticipate
the universal verdict Of tho country after
that duty has been performed.

AN ESTUUsIAsTIC RpFoR,rrp

We have received a copy Of pamphlet,
entitled "The True Method Of Representa-
tion In Large Constituencies" by Mr..
Clarke, Of 0swego New York. We have not
read the whole of this document, but the fol-
lowing extract will, perhaps, give an Idea Of
what the author Is driving at "Another re-
suit of even greater Importance to the public
welfare would be sure speedily to ensue upon
the adoption of this plan. Political parties
would come to an end. They are kept alive
to-day by politicians and ofilce-seekcrs. They
are, In fact the artificial product Of political
machinery" 1t Is needless to say that we
have no faith whatever In Mr.. Clarkes plan
Of true representation. The extract above
given Is sufficient to convince any one that
his true representation Is a humbug. All the
plans that all the Clarkes could devise from
this until doOmsday could not do away with
political parties In the United States.

REDUCTION or RATES BY THE
WESTERN UNION,

The papers have announced reduction Of
the telegraphic rates above 80 to that sum
on all messages not exceeding ten words.
The question naturally arises; What Is the
cause OF this great reduction being made at
the present time 2 There can be but one
answer to the question. The Western Union
Telegraph Company fear that their monopoly
is about to be broken up, and that the peoplt
are to enter into the enjoyment Of their
rights They hope BY this reduction to allay
The growing feeling Of resentment for the
rates so long maintained. and at least to de-
lay the passage Of the act by which the peo-
pie shall have cheap telegraph. II Is well,
therefore, To consider what thla reduction Il,
and how much yet remains to be done. The
present rates to Oregon are $50 and over;
10 California, Nevada and Colorado, IS and
over, making the reduction IS to the more
distant places, and $3.50 to the nearer. There
IL no reduction for night messages. By the
rates proposed In the postal telegraph bill the
rate 10 the most distant OF these places Is
only sl.5O by day and seventy-nye cents by
night. Great as the present reduction Ia, the
percentage of reduction proposed by the
postal telegraph hill Is much greater than
tuat uueduN CltClcu ny the western Union,
when the increased length of the message -
twenty-five words aS against tens taken
into consideration.
ln the opinion of many OF the advocates of
the postal measure these rates are still too
high, either for the benefit of the people or
Of the company, for il Is doubtful whether
sven now the volume Of business will be very
greatly increased. But II the rates had been
reduced to those proposed by the postal bill
there can be no doubt that the telegraphic
correspondence would nearly equal that by
The mails, and the profits to the company
greatly increased, for there are many people
In California who could afford to send mes-
sage OF twenty-five words for seventy-ave
cents by night who would be unable to send
the same message under the present rates,
which would be over IS. Any reduction in
rate which does not greatly increase the busi-
ness fails of accomplishing the purpose in
tended, either in satisfying the wants of the
people or making 1t u financial success. We
trust and believe that the friends OF cheap
postage in the House and Senate will sec that
the same principle Is applied to the telegraph,
and the bill be urged on with greater earnest.

they have deliberately taken sides with cOTrup-

mails OF modern times. During the trial they

THE EMANCIPATION PAINTING,

Mr. +. b. Carpenter the artist, has arrived
In toWn, In response TO request OF the Joint
Committee on the Library, who were directed
by resolution last week to inquire upon what
terms the Government could obtain the pos
session Of his celebrated emancipation procla.
nation painting. Mr.. Carpenter has brought
the picture with him, and It will he placed on
exhibition in room at the Capitol In few
days. 1t was, 1t will be recollected, painted
in the Executive Mansion, and Ia historically
accurate in every particular. Its merits as a
work Of art are well known to the people OF
Washington, and 1t Is entirely unnecessary to
here alude TO them. We are glad that there
Is a fair prospect that 1t will soon he porua-
nently placed where 1t should have been
placed long ago-in the Capitol.
