rAE CUBAN SENSATION.

After trying 10 work up a great ex-
element over Cuba and war with
Spain, the Democratic papers now turn
around and ridicule Gen Grant on &C.
count OF what they charged him with
attempting 10 do The Troy Press says
that III Das been u lameDtable humbue
and failure, all this Cuban outcry. i is
now rather comical than otherwise. as
we look back upon il 1t has All been
for nothing. The ayowed end Of all
this disquiet was we'll enough But the
mountain which was intimated TO be in
the way turns out to have been mid
ding sized mole hill" The New York
Herald says sit Is nothing but rDodo-
montade. Having failed in this sensa-
tlon these enterprising newspapers will
doubtless try something new. We do
not know anybody in these parts who
wants TO have Cuba annexed TO the
United States. No one certainly will 60
to war tor that purpose The island
would add nothing TO the wealth or
power of the nation. An army of 50,-
600 men would be needed to preserve
order and compel obedience to law all
the time. In short, the game is not
worth the powder, The London Pail
Mall Gazette takes a sound view Of the
situation when it says that if its con-
nection with Spain could be severed in
fair and honorable way, it would
probably be great advantage to Spain.
Cuba now does but drain her Of troops
and money, and there seems no likeli-
hood that she will ever do anything else

WRAT nE MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

The life and character of Edgar Allan
Poe have been reviewed again on the oe-
easion of rearing monument to his
memory in the city of Baltimore. He
was a man of genius, but of marked in
firmities. In the discussions of bis
character there has been much more
said about what he might have been
than about what he was. 1t is easy to
say that he might have been a greater
man, q greater poet or writer OF fiction,
IL his life had been longer and more
wise. Posthumous criticisms of men
Of genius usually take this turn, and the
fact that mans life had not been wise
is often made the basis of very generous
suppositions. This indulgence Is practi-
cally extended often to living men
whose habits interfere with their sue

CHlEF JUsTroE WAITE has shown his
good sense and a just consideration of
the position which he holds by saying
in a recent conversation that under no
circumstances would he permit his

of his profession he had reached the
highest place he could ever hope for,
and that his ambition is fully satisfied.

prevailed, values ruling irregular. The princ-
pal inquiry continues on speculative account

way of buying. At the opening general feell
ing of firmness was shown, and the leading
grains were firm and in demand. "Wednesday
and Thursday general weakness was shown,
the offerings both for immediate and future de-
livery being larger, while Eastern advices were
of an unfayorable tenor, and holders did not
show any confidence in the future of the trade.
The result was decline of about lobe
per bushel on both wheat and corn. During the
remainder of the week, however, the markets
were frmer all round, and by the close the
greater part of the decline was recovered AZ
will be seen by reference to the annexed quota
tons. The lower prizes brought out more
buyers numerous buying orders being received
from the interior, while March shorts"
showed general desire to provide for their
contracts. New York and Liverpool adyices
were more favorable. with light receipts. Oats
ruled steady. Rye active to the extent of
the offerings. Barley sold at very irregular
prices, according to date and location of re-
cepts. large speculative business was re-
