Our Cons Sc 1'Owafcs ihe Cuban
Patriots.

To W the indifference with which our
Government has witnessed the long and
noble struggle Of tie Cuban patriots for
independence, seems utterly heart!ess, and
selfish, and uupatriotic. Their grievances Of
which they complain, and which they rose in
arms to resist, are as intolerable and cruel
rs those which drew the American colonies
into rebellion. They have carried on the
contest almost as long, aud fought as brave
IL tn rid themselves Of the CALLING yoke of
Spain, as we did TO achieve our freedom.
FOR more than Ave years they have been
able to resis. sll the power Of Spain, and to
maintain an independent Government. The
question involved in the struggle is not only
tho liberty Of the Cuban patriots, but the
freedom Of nearly half million Of slaves.
Yet we have watched tho contest as coolly
and differently as We should a quarrel
between the factions which are constantly
engaged in a revolutionary movement in the
South, and Central American Republics"
If wo have shown any sympathy, it has been
with the Spauiards.

Having added fifty per cent. to their own

ev., and taken two years "bscS paw from
tie Treasury, Congress has taken steps 10
make up the anoun. thus appropriated by
reducing the number aud salary OF tie clerks

tbs gentlemen who are receiving a salary Of
1900 for an average 0. Eve months ser
vice annually, which docs not require them
to give up their regular business, from III 200
to 8 800 is altogether too much for men who
devote their whole time to their duties from
one years end to another. And besides, the
clamor which has been made about the
"salary grab" renders it necessary for them
to do something to appease public sentlme ut
and. divert attention fron their own increased
salaries and back pay. 50 they are search
ing about TO soc if the difference csnot be
