THE Cuban insurgents have adopt
ed the course Of retaliation on the
strength of the massacres which have
lately been effected by the govern
ment authorities. They propose to
show the Spaniard volunteers that
it is a poor rule that won't work
both ways. Col. Montaner, a loyal
general who has made himself con-
spicuous by his perseverance in Sc
curing the execution of captured
insurgents, has at last fallen into the
hands of the enemy and suffered ac-
cordingly. News has been received
also Of the shooting of Spanish sol
diers captured at Pueto Principe.
The element of mercy is by no means
q prominent characteristic of Span
ish American nations, but consider
ing all that the Cuban insurgents
have suffered, they can scarcely be
blamed for resorting to retaliation
in self-defence. 1t is a severe rem
edy, but has usually proved an eff
fective one. The cause of the in
surgents has been strengthened of
late, they having won one or two
victories, while the government is
calling to Spain in vain for more aid.

AS was to be expected, the old
printing steals of Call1ins IL Proud
fit, and Pump Carpenter, which
were frustrated by Governor Wash
burne's veto last winter, are again
before the Legislature. If the Re-
publican Senate do not interfere the
bills will no doubt pass, and once
passed nothing can save the State
from being robbed to the tune of
$50, 900 or perhaps Sl5O,OoO. Gov.
TAYLOR will not dare to veto the
steal, for were not CallIins as editor
of the Milwaukee Ne'cs and Pump
Carpenter as contributor to the
Democratic press valuable aids in
securing the election of the ere

THE latest from Governor Taylor
relative to the Temperance Law is
to the effect that remonstrance
against its repeal has been present.
ed to the Assembly on which APP
pears his Excellency's signature.
The Governors attempt to do the
great two horse act is becoming
amusing. In his message to suit
the whiskeyites he declared the law
"obnoxious" and recommended that
it be "modifed," IT, e. nullifed,) and
to save his reputation among the
temperance people he signs paper
demonstrating against the acton
which in his message he recon-
mends. Such pusillanimous dema-
gogism in the chief executive of
great state is pitable to behold but
it is in keeping with the general
character of "reform" politicians.
A CoRRECTIoN.-~Since the above
was prepared for publication it APP
pears that Mrs. Gov. Taylor was the
party who signed the remonstrance
to the repeal of the Graham Law,
and not his Excellency. The Liq-
uor League can now breath freer.
Meanwhile the Reformers, in caucus,
have decided On square repeal of
the law. 1t is now the turn Of the
temperance men who voted "retorm
to rise in their Indignation. The
Gubcrnatorial house, we may fur
Their remark, must be divided against
itself on the temperance question
if the Governor signs a repeal bill.

THERE is some hope of reform in
Boston. The Mayor allows no Off
Ger on the police force who uses
intoxicating liquors as a beverage.
But the Congregatio7aaItst hints
darl1ly that there are drinking"
Councilmen in the Boston Board of
Aldermen, and queries whether
measures of prohibition may not be
instituted against that class of city
officials. The Traveller, however,
comes to the rescue of the alder
manic inebriates, with the point
that they "are responsible only to
their own constituents" and there
the matter rests.

IT is proposed in bill now be-
fore Congress to remove one of the
minor annoyances connected with
the transmission of transient printed
matter in the mails. The impulse
is always strong, when a person is
sending a paper or magazine to a
friend, to place his or her name or
initials on the documents so dis
patched but this has been held to
be sort of pecadillo-an infringe
ment upon the postal laws, though
it has seldom occurred that a post
master has been found lliputian
enough to enforce it. This law sub
jects any paper or magazine so
written upon to letter postage
which makes such mail matter very
costly to the receiver. But the bill
now before fine House provides that
it shall be lawful for amy person
sending a paper or magazine III the
mail to write his name or initials, or
a brief form of presentation, upon it
without adding anything to its post
age as printed matter. This Is a
very sensible proposition, AMI we
trust it may find favor with both
Houses and become law.

Miss NELLIE GRANTS engage
ment, says the Washington CORES
pendent of the New York Herald,
is one of the leading topics of So
ciety chat here. 1t will be remem-
bered that Fanny Kemble, the
tragedienne, who married Mr..
Pierce Butler, of Philadelphia, and
was afterwards divorced from him,
had a younger sister who evinced a
great talent for music. She studied
in Italy and in Paris, and made a
sensation at several concerts, but
before she WIGS fairly on the stage as
a prima donna she was woed and
won by Mr.. Sartons, a rich English
man of an old family. Now, when
Miss Nellie Grant returned from
Europe, last year, she made the ac-
quaintance on the steamer of the
second son of this Mn and Mrs.
Sartons, and the intimacy ripened
into affection. Just then the elder
brother died and the fortunate
swain thus becomes heir to the Sar-
ton estate. 1t is intimated that the
marriage Will come off in the spring,
and at the same time Colonel Fred.
Grant will marry Miss Etty Cook,
the eldest daughter of the ex-Gov-
ernor of this District.

TIE traffic in. Italian children Sc
rionsly suggests the inquiry whether
the human race will ever fully aban
don the idea of servitude for a GER
tain portion of it. No sooner is the
ideal of universal equality, like that
Of universal peace, presented to the
public admiration, than human per-
versity skaters the picture while in
the act Of being framed for preser-
walton. Drive out nature by vio-
lcnce, says the Latin poet, and 1t is
sure to come back every time.
Work out the slave trade from Bra
iii and the West Indies, and China
comes forward to make remorselesS
bargains with the wretched coolies.
Put down the traffic in human
beings in China and the South Sea
Islands, and Italy pushes brisk
trade in children with the large
cities of Europe and America. The
details of this cruel trade, says a
special CORRESPONDENT OF the London
Times, are quite as revolving as
those of the Middle Passage. Large
numbers of the doomed creatures
are inveigled on board the vessels
that are to bear them away from
their sunny home, to starve, ana
generally die, in foreign lands. It.
ally is emphatically the country OF
the poor, and cupidity tempts many
heartless fathers to dispose of their
offspring for small premium. The
temptation for poor parents OF large
families to replenish their eXcheq-
uer by the sale of surplus children
is there Just as strong ms that which
induces the African chiefs to give
away whole tribes in exchange for
beads and rum; and it is protessed
civilization that supplies the sole
opportunity to secure 1T.
Commerce hes opened highways
for the expectation of labor FROM
tAe more populous countries to those
which are ready to receive the sur

1t sets covetous eyes on that class
of the population which is useless,
and it succeeds in making its terms

the combined protests OF the wollu.
1t is this that suggests the lnqulr!
whether modern civilization Is fair

THE annual bill to appropriate
$4,000 to the State Agricultural So
ciety has been presented. Perhaps
the mass of the farmers are in favor
of this appropriation; and if 50, it
is all right, even though the State
Society is run principally by a Mad
ison and Milwaukee ring. But
comparatively few of the people of
the State get the benefit Of this APP
preparation. At least one-fourth
the people are more interested in
the Northern Fair and Society /;
another fourth are more Interested
in the Southern Wisconsin Fair and
Society, and another fourth are in
terested in the Southwestern Wis
consin Fair and Society. II then,
$4,000 is given to the State Society,
why would it not be just to give
$1,000 to each of the others, includ-
ing a Northwestern Fair and So
ciety when organized! These are
questions we have often heard dis
cuSSed.

Tue position of Gov. Taylor on
the Graham liquor law is Il speci-
men of two-horse-act eQuestrlanism,

politician who was III favor OF the
Main liquor law, but opposed to its
enforcement. The Governor, in his
creme dc Ia creme of messages, does
not recommend repeal OF the law.
Oh, no that would CRATE too harsh
" on the ears of the temperance
people; that would show too obse-
Quious yielding to the Liquor
League, by whom his election was
bought. He therefore recommends
"a modification OF its obnoxious
provisions without in any degree
impairing the appropriate power OF
the state to regulate and restrain
the traffic in intoxicating liquors, or
To punish ottenses against society
originating in this cause" No glib
berish of Il Delphic oracle was ever
more vague nor incoherent than
this. The Supreme Court has de
cidcd that the provisions of this law
are within the appropriate power of
the state over the subject, The
Governor wants the law modified so

power, and at the same time not

THE people of this state are learn
ing slowly the meaning of reform
according to the new dispensation.
Some years ago there was an incip-
lent Retormer named Hodgson who
was carrying on u distillcry at Sho-
pierre. This gentleman brought up
on himself the suspicious of the
revenue officers, and at length his
establishment was seized. The case
was contested in the courts long
and bitterly, but the evidence of
guilt was overwhelming, and Hodg-
son was fined large sum, though
probably not larger sum than it
had cost the government to prose-
cute the case. On Wednesday last
the victim Of despotism went be-
fore the Assembly with a memorial
to Congress "for relief" His case
was one calculated to touch the ten
derest cords of Reformer's heart.
First, he was u distiller, and next,
he was an illicit distiller, one of
those noble souls who had arisen in
rebellion against the tyranny of Il
hated Radical government, and
whose sublime mission it was to
make whisky cheaper. Under these
circumstances it is not to be sup
posed that the Reform Assembly
could hesitate. The rules were inn
mediately suspended, and Mr.. Hodg-
sons memorial passed.

The Trouble with the Indians.

Bluff old General Harvey, who
knows probably as much about In
dian character as any man IN the
country. from having had much to
do with them, both as tighter and
treaty maker, and whom the In
dams are said to fear more than any
OF our army officers, was before the
House of Representative Military
Committee, on Tuesday, for the pur-
pose of giving his views of the In
dian affairs. He said that he was
of the opinion that if Indians were
treated fairly there would never be
any need of interfering with them.
He had known but two instances
where treaties had been first violat-
ed by them, and they were where
the treaties were old and were not
enforced until the chiefs with whom
they were made were dead, conse-
quently the transgressors knew lit
tie or nothing about them
General Harvey attributed the
trouble with the Indians to rascally
agents and whisky sellers and his
remedy for the evil of whisky-selling
to the Indians was for the military
officer in command nearest the
scene Of the nuisance summarlly to
shoot or hang the seller of the liz
uor. The remedy is harsh, no
doubt, from q humanitarian point of
view, but it would unquestionably
result in saving hundreds OF lives
far more valuable than those who
disgrace humanity by dealing out
forty-rod whisky to savages. 1t
would moreover, save millions OF
treasure to the pockets of honest
people. If there were more Har-
neys, and the Government would
put them in charge OF Indian affairs,
with unlimited powers as to dealing
with the rascals who are at the bot
tom of our Indian troubles, it would
be humane and economical course.
Is not Harvey still young enough
for few years service on the from
tier!
The Secretary Of the Interior has
recommended the amendment OF the
Indian intercourse act OF 1880,
which, he thinks, will preserve the
Indians from the liquor traffic. 1t
provides severe penalties for in any
way furnishing Indians, not citi-
zens, with any kind of spiritual liz
uor. If such a law can be enforced,
long step will have been taken
toward preserving the peace OF the
frontier.
