The SPANISH MODE OF DIsCrpLN1NG AN
OPERA SINGER is to put him into the '.jug"
until his voice or good temper comes to him
again. The benevolent government at Ha-
vana exercised this privilege on poor verati
Tor Ferati), the tenor of the -Murska
Opera Company. Verati was to be the Elvino
in 'Sonnambula )" but he did not make his
appearance, much to the disappointment or
chagrin of the officials, if not of the public
and artists. FL Preside,de of the theatre who,
it appears, possesses magisterial powers, made
out commitment to prison for eight days for
Verati, and had him put in the carcel That
is the way they do things in Havana. As
Verati published card showing he was not to
blame he was let out of prison and sang the
next night amid considerable enthusiasm"
There is not in the world such an absolute
despotism as that of the Spanish government
in Cuba. The poor Cubans have to bear it;
but if foreign artists choose to submit to such
tyranny for the sake of gaining money they
cannot complain.

Is MEXICO REPUBIIc2 -According to the
dispatches from Mexico Judge Ramirez, Of
the Supreme Court, declares Mexico is re-
public in name only, as in reality it is gov
erned by a military despotism. He ought to
know, certainly. Mexico, in fact, has hardly
ever been in any other condition. Nor is that
the only government called republican where
there is military despotism. What else 10

The GRATITUDE OF REPUBLICS A grateful
country leaves its one-legged heroes to perish
on the street from hunger and cold What
have enthusiastic politicians to say to the
manned soldiers who fought and bled for the
Union and are now allowed to starve?

The WoRKNGMEN AND THE PooR.-The
constant struggle of the working classes with
the stern realities of life sometimes hardens
their nature to the sufferings of members of
their own class so that they are guilty Of con-
duct towards their more unfortunate fellow
laborers which is often tinged with brutality.
The case of Reilly, who was refused permits
sion by the 'longshoremen to earn food for his
children because he is unable to comply with
some trade union law. is case in point. 1t
is sad to see the best impulses of man s
nature checked and suppressed in stupid
attempt to deprive laborer of the right to
earn honestly his bread. Such incidents are
not calculated to increase the respect of the
general public for trade union principles.

GENERAL FITz JOHN PoRTER's CAsE.-We
publish to-day very interesting communica-
ton and forcible argument from Mr.. Mont
gomery Blair on the case OF General Fitz John
Porter. General Porter, it is known, has
made strenuous efforts to have his case recon-
sidered, believing that injustice was done him
by the court martial and the government
which dismissed him from the army Mr.
Blair, who knows, perhaps, as much about
the facts as any other man, takes the ground
that General Porter should have another trial.
1t is unnecessary to recite his argument here,
as our readers have it before them in another
part of the paper But we may remark that
there seems to be much force in the point
made of there being rivalries and jealousies
among the military chiefs at the time of Gen.
eral Porters trial which were calculated to
prejudice the case. At all events there could
be no harm in ordering new trial in these
calmer times.

The DestitutiOn in the City.

The story of the restitution prevailing
lish to-day will startle our well-to-do readers
in their comfortable homes. It is not
pleasant to reflect that there are two New
Yorks the one plunged in the most abject
misery, wanting all the necessaries of life
shivering from cold, borne down by disease
crowded into the unwholesome tenement
houses of the poor quarters, which are
now, in truth, dwellings of sorrow and
affliction. Yet while the prosperous
citizens go merrily over the beautiful snow
to the music of tinkling bells, the poor, hud-
died together in freless rooms, chatter and
shiver in the piercing night Winds slowly
starving to death. Hundreds wander home
less in this great city through the winter
storm, more desolate and helpless than if they
were in desert. In the midst of plenty
they starve, and the pangs of hunger are
rendered more difficult to bear by the
sight of the good things they must not taste.
Some active measures are necessary to allie
viate this widespread distress. The ordinary
machinery of charity cannot be trusted to
meet the increasing demands for help,
and the story we publish to-day shows that
there is no time to be lost if the great suffering
and distress existing among our poor
are to be alleviated before famine begins
to seek victims among the unfortunates.
Prompt and energetic action is needed from
the charitable. The speediest and simplest
mode of relief will be the establishment of
numerous soup kitchens, where all who are
hungry may obtain food for the mere asking.

MEXICO STILL UNEASY. Though we had
lately soothing news from our neighbors
across the Rio Grande, there is by no means q
reign of universal peace among them. We
see by the kilograms published to-day from
the city of Mexico, up to the first of this
month, that the revolution in Yucatan is gain
ing strength, that the Indians had plundered
and burned the town of Canotchel in that
State, and that the Apaches have been raiding
in Sonora. The press of Mexico does not like
the new American trade dollar, and says that
it has proved injurious to Mexican interests.

The Howard RELIEF ASSOCIATION. is
the intention of the managers of this excellent
charity to provide soup for the needy who
shall apply for food at their institution. The
publication in the HERALD yesterday of the
manner in which the poor are cared for by the
Howard Relief Association brought nine
hundred applicants to their rooms in Leonard
street yesterday. 1t was found i'm
possible to meet so sudden demand,
as there is sleeping accommodation
for some two hundred and seventy persons
only The establishment of free soup
kitchen will be step in the right direction,
and we hope to see it initiated by other benevo-
lent societies. 1t is the readiest and surest
way Of aiding the poor with the least damage
to their self-respect 1t will also be great
boon to that most deserving class, the genteel
poor, who starve in garrets because they will
not beg.

The DEMOCRATIC FEUD IN New HAVEN
grows more interesting subcommittee of
the State Central Committee is to meet on
Wednesday next to settle it. 1t is charged that
Mr.. Gallagher, the well known democratic
leader, wants the delegates from New Haven
elected hereafter by mass convention instead
of by ward primaries, as this would give him
complete control of the city. This is settle
ment against which many democrats protest.
II is intimated also that Postmaster Durham
takes lively interest in the fight, which sug-
gests the remark that federal influence is gen.
orally fatal to the settlement of democratic
quarrels. The democracy At Connecticut can
not afford big fight on the eve of State
election,

Why NoT?-A correspondent in to-day's
HERALD proposes plan for rapid transit
which, if it could be carried out. would solve
the question in novel and desirable way.
He processes to be able to apply to ordinary
single vehicles or to trains of cars or carriages
a means of locomotion by mechanical con-
trivance, which can be used on ordinary road
beds, and from which rate of speed can be
obtained ranging from ten miles to thirty
miles an hour, according as locality and safety
will warrant rapidity of travel There is no
reason why such an invention should not be
perfected. If our correspondent is the genius
who has managed to solve the problem he will
have very little difficulty in procuring the
facilities for testing the merit of his invention.
