est paid, after deducting compensation for

insolvent concern, as we'll as to get back what
it has advanced and TO prevent the people

The Liberal Christian is profound upon
Evolution and Revolution in Religion" de-
claring that the 'loose, wandering, cloudy,
sentimental liberalism that floats in the whole
religious air of this country, rusting and rend-
ing the old dogmatic chains and dissolving
the creeds has its work to do-an immense
and providential one. It does it without aid
and without resistance. 1t is the pressure
and gravitation and compulson Of the age.
The Christian at Work takes as its leading
theme "Morbid Religion" and asserts that
''mcrbidity in religion might be partially
cured by more outdoor exercise" This is a
good idea for the Shaking Quakers.

Towards the Army Fighting In thu

The Attitude Of the Wealthy Cubans
Towards the Army Fighting In the
Field.
We publish elsewhere short pithy letter
from the weu-known commander of the Edgar
Stuart Colonel Melchor Agiiero, which touches
on the weak spot of the Cuban insurrection.
Colonel Agiiero has for years been engaged in
the work OF supplying the men in the field
with the arms and munitions necessary to
carry on the war of independence. His enter
prises have been marked by great daring and
unusual success. Whatever faults the Colonel
unusual devotion to the cause Of his country.
In his letter he complains of the indifference
shown to him by those wealthy Cubans who
have the means of sending effective help to
their brothers in the field, but who fail to do
80 through some paltry spirit of jealousy.
Our Special Commissioner to the Cuban insur-
GEMS learned from Calixto Garcia, General
Gomez and President Cespedes that the
only resources which had reached them
from the exterior for over two years had been
brought by Colonel Agiiero All the other ex-
petitions had either failed to land their car
goes or had been lost. Under these circum-
stances it appears very strange that Cubans
interested in the welfare of their country, ana
really anxious to aid the men struggling tor
freedom, should hesitate about giving such aid
tc Colonel Agiero as would enable him to
carry the needed supplies to the gallant fell
lows who have so long STRUGGLED against over

COMMERCE OF THE POM OF New YORK.
It is good sign for Austrian commerce
that the number Of vessels coming to this port
during the year just closed is one hundred
per cent in excess of the arrivals of 1872.
Italy has improved forty per cent during the
same period, and the Norwegians seem to be
extending their commercial relations with this
port The shipping statistics, however, as a
whole, indicate that the number of arrivals
has been increased by twelve per cent and
the total shows 6,135 vessels of which 1,057
were steamers. While Great Britain and
America own more than two-thirds Of these
vessels the other nationalities are fairly repre-
scented. The lesson Of these figures is SIM
pie one. Austria, Italy and Norway have
prosperous and increasing commercial ma
rines, while that Of the United States is
slowly fading away. Can we not do some
thing as nation to reconstruct our COM
merce; to foster shipbuilding; to provide for
the education of boys in order that they may
become trained seamen; to improve the har-
Dor, as demanded by Professor Pierce; TO
hasten the slow process Of the blasting out at
He'll Gate?

Presentments OF the Grand Jury.
Two or three subjects are preached by the
Grand Jury that are worthy public attention
the state of the Tombs and the ne
cessity for q new City Prison, the absence
of any proper restraint upon the Sheriffs
charges against the county, and the scan
dalous abuse of the House Of Detention.
All these are good old abuses that have been
frequently the subject Of animadversion in the
press and that are standard topics with the
Grand Jury. But we do not see that that con-
stltutional impersonation of the public con-
science is likely to touch these subjects any
more practically now than it has done hitherto;
and we know how ineffective must be the
drowsy recommendations of Grand Jury for
the discontinuance Of abuses on which official
tanned as criminals, though only witnesses, be-
cause an arbitrary administration OF the police
always goes with an ineffective one and We
have both. As to the Sberiff's fees, they are,
of course, an open robbery. Under the estab-
lished system the Sheriff of county is, per-
haps, only well paid for his service by his
fees; but if we put the transactions of nation
into one county, as we have it here, and con-
tinue the fee system, it is evident that the
Sheriff must get remuneration far beyond
what it is proper that any single functionary
should receive. Cannot the Grand Jury take
this subject up in more practical way? It
needs agitation.
