ACCORDING 70 the New YORK CORES
pondent of the Philadelphia Ledger the
New York Democratic members of
Congress intend, when Congress meets,
to press the immediate recognition of
the belligerent rights Of the insurgents
of Cuba. They have a fancy, it seems,
that the Republicans viii oppose them
in this, and that they can make-"Free
Cuba a rallying point for the party in
the Presidential campaign. The Gu
ban question, they think, can be made
to suppIant the currency question and
all other distractiDg issues. 1t would
be hard to determine what Cuba is to
them or they to Cuba and it would be
still harder to tell what they will do
for national issue if the President
should take the Cuban question out of
their hands by anticipating their action.
This he will most probably do; and if
he does, the Cuban question will he

THE New Orleans Times expresses a
want not local, but general, when it
says: The trouble about getting .
money here IS not the lack ofcurrency,
but the lack on the part OF those who
want it of something to exchange for
it." Ii took the pounding of six
weeks steady campaigning in Ohio to
get that idea into some peoples heads.
When they searched their pockets and
found neither greenbacks nor fraction
al currency, they jumped to the con-
clusion that pretty much all the cur
rency hsd been called in by the Gov
eminent, AMI that no paper money
was in circulation. The vacuity of
their pockets was all due TO the policy
of contraction, and therefore they
Joined in the hue and cry for more
money; but when it was shown them
that there was superhuity of "mon-
ey," such as it is, and waiting ia the
banks for somebody to come and take
cut, and that al they had to do was,
to buy il, or pat up collateral, the
more TeasOnsb BE discovered that the
scarcity Of currency was due TO their
own inability to offer anything in ex-
change for it, and it sobered their ideas
of a greenb8ck milienuium.-C CRciR-

Now that Sam. Cox looms up as a
candidate for Speaker of the House,
the New York papers revive a Bit OF
history that is calculated to prejudice
his claims. 1t is to the effect:
"In 1872, ne ran for Congressman al
Large, and was beaten. In November
the year following, running to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of the
Hen. James Brooks, he was more sue
cessiul, being elected by fair major
ity. Mr.. Brooks died in June, 1878,
aud before Congress assembled Mr..
Cox, according TO the books of the Ser
geant-at-arms of the House, drew pay
for the whole period from the death OF
Mr.. Brooks and preceding the election,
and defended the demand for the mon
ey aud kept it. For the period from
June + to November 5, the amount of
pay was So, 125, and it covered tune be-
fore aIr Cox was even elected. Some
color of law was found by which he
could get hold of this money, and he
took it, and never gave it up. Now,
Mr. Cox is found running for Speaker
ship of the House, on the high ground
of 0pposi ion to increase OF salary, and
of reform in expenditure"

thor-Dr. X. Y. PIERCE, of Buffalo, y. U
