The Cubsn Iusurrectious.

LFrom the Philadelphia Evening start
The instruction in Cuba has now been in
progress for about seven years, and is appa-
rentIy no nearer stamped out" than it was at
the time our Government intimated that it
might be compelled in the interest of humanity
to interpose, and stop the slaughters that have
made the history of the struggle so sickening.
The policy of the insurgents, as we learn from
late Havana correspondence, is to destroy prop
erty, burn sugar estates, thereby depriving the
Government of its revenue.
They have succeeded in devastating nearly
the whole of the eastern end of the island,
and are now swaTming westwardly, dividing
themselves into squads and running about at
will, fighting but seldom, and then only in
guerrilla style, but doing vastly more damage
with brand than they could ever attempt with
the sword. Every day brings its report of
estates burned. A letter lately received from
the vicinity of Havana, says:
Within the last two days fourteen of the
finest estates of this jurisdiction have been
completely reduced to ashes by the fires of the
incendiaries; the smoke of seven could be
plainly seen about six miles from this place.
The damage done to machinery and buildings
will exceed half a million of dollars, and the
loss of the crops cannot be calculated at less
than twelve thousand tons of sugar, to say
nothing of the loss inflicted by the flight Of
negroes, &c.
Clearly, such struggle as this cannot exist
much longer without reducing the fair island,
which has been POLITICALLY called "'The Pearl of
the Antilles" to the condition of a bowling
wilderness. Meanwhile the planters and mer-
chants whose property escapes the incendiary
torch are compelled to see it dwindling away
beneath a system of taxation which is practi-
cally confscatiOn.

deceived their followers into belief that
prospect of peace and quiet in the future was
assured. The votes cast by these recreants
in the last House against such measures as
the bill to Protect Electors, called the
Force Bill, were SO many arguments to
prove TO the people that the possibility Of
Democratic success was not to be feared, and
that the Democrats North and South are
peaceful, law-abiding and loyal. The tur-
moifwhich characterized the proceedings of
the House when such measures were under
consideration, the prolonged strife over them
in caucus, and the general lack of consist
ency exhibited at all times during the ses-
sion by men who fought one way during
the war and voted another way afterwards,
aided TO deceive the public and conveyed
the impression that the Democrats were
sustained by nearer approach to substan.
tial principle than their opponents. 1t IS
perhaps needless to simplify. The most
casual observer will notice that Mr.. Stark
weather, an Administration Republican,
as the Opposition calls him, but really man
who had more regard for party principle
than for personal interests, made better
run than either General Hawley or Mr..
Kellogg, both of whom are classed among
the opponents of the kind of legislation to
which we have alluded. When the can
vass began the policy pursued by General
Hawley and his friends was to apologize
for this and that act Of the Administration,
and 10 explain away imaginary charges
brought against the party by unprin.
ciplod opponents. The lies told by
the Associated Press regarding Southern
affairs, and the scandals regarding leading
officials were made the most Of by the
Democrats, and instead Of fatty denying
them and retoTting with vigorous truths,
which would strengthen the Republican
party, our speakers at the beginning showed
the white feather and assumed the defen-
sive Representative Burrows, of Michi.
gan, was the first TO break away from this
cowardly policy. When he declared that
he had mo apology to make for the Repub-
lican party" he struck the keynote of vic
tory. But, as we have said, the warning
came too late. If Messrs. Blaine and Haw-
ley feel chagrined at the disaster which has
attended their efforts they must blame
themselves, and while every Republican
will regret the disaster, there are many
who will rejoice over it, because it will
have the effect, if properly understood, to
restore the party to its former condition of
complete organization and effective disci-
pline.

Proposed swedish Arctic expedition.

The Copenhagen correspondent Of the Pail HdH
Gazette writes: According to Information in the
AtfOHbEGdet = new expedition OF discovery to the
Arctic seas, the entire expenses Of which are to
be paid by a rich merchant OF Gothenburg, is to
leave Norway duriaR the coming spring, under
the direction of Professor N0rdenskjold. 1t is
proposed that the expedition should leave the
port Of Tromso, one Of the towns situated in the
most northern part OF Norway, some time early in
June, and thence proceed direct to Nova ZembIR,
where some time will be spent In geological, b.
tanical, geological and ethnographic researches,
and then-h possible during the latter part Of
Augustine expedition viii proceed TO the ex-
treme northern point Of the island, whence excur-
siOns will be made towards the northeasterIy
part Of the Polar seas, which as yet have never
been explored, as we'll as towards the south, with
the object Of reaching the mouth OF the rivers
msmmoths and other prehistoric animals are to
be found.
If the ice permits, Professor Nordenskjold Will
here leave the vessel and ascend the rivers in q
boat specially prepared for the purpose, return
ing through Siberia and Russia TO Stockholm,
while the vessel will proceed through the Ma
totshkfp Shar or the Garlic Sound, and return 70
Tromso where it is expected to arrive early In
October The voyage is thus only expected to
last about four months, but sufficient provisions
to asst fourteen month will be shipped. Although
Norwegian Whslers have been In these regions,
they are as yet to all intents and purposes terra
fnc0gniid from o scientific point OF view. Thus,
for instance, IT is not yet known II the Garlic Sea
vegetable life, like the shores Of Spitzbergen, or
If It be as poorly provided with plants and ami
mails as the Baltic. On the s0called "Mhite
Island" close TO the mouth of the river %, no
scientific man has ever yet put his foot, and even
the west coast Of Nova Zembla has never been
explored. The expedition may therefore be ex-
pected TO obtain Information OF great value TO
science II otherwise successful.

Impeachment.

From the Valley Virginian.l
Senator Eaton, Of Connecticut, pronounced
boldly in favor Of impeachIng the President, for
restoring order and preventing bIoodshed in
Louisiana. Senator Andy johnson, of Tennes-
see, said his action was "usurpation." Senator
Withers, of Virginia. could not vote for the reso-
lutiCn approving the Presidents course in pre-
serving the peace in Louisiana, because It would
the future action Of the Senate in cases Of i'm
parchment that might possibly arise" Such are
the outgiyings Of the new Democratic Senators.
Because the President has sternly demanded the
enforcement of the laws, the protection Of Ameri-
can citizens, and asserted the supremacy and the
dignity of national uthOrty in suppressing tnsur-
representing the fresh expression Of the Demo
cratic party, proclaim to the American people
that he should be impeached.
1t is strange condition of things to contem-
plate. Senator Withers represents Virginia In
the United States Senate. He was chosen to that
position by the Conservative party Of Virginia.
That party owes it's existence to the agnanfmity
OF President Grant. Virginia owes her represen-
taton in the national councils TO the confidence Of
General Grant and the forbearance and kindness
Of the Republican party. Yet Senator Withers
the creature Of these events is scarcely warm in
bis Senatorial seat before be rises in bis and
denounces the President as a usurper and strongly
intimstes the contingency Of his Impeachment!
The country can deduce but one conclusion
the Democratic party means reVslution-it means
civil war for the popular impulse OF the nation
would resent TO the EXTREMIST degree any at
tempt to arraign upon q charge Of usurpation the
President for merely enforcing the laws, insti-
gated, as the charge would be, by the men who
had failed in subVertiDg the Government in the
conflict of arms.
The question to be considered by the psople 10
whether the doctrine Of State sovereignty is to
prevail over that Of constitutional liberty
whether condition Of chronic anarchy is to exist
over the recognized authority Of the National
Government to maintain order throughout the
limits Of the country. Impeachment" simply
means that anarchy is preferable to peace and
OrdeI-tbat blOOdshed and insurrection are para
mount to the enforcement Of the laws, State
sovereignty, as interpreted BY these embryo i'm
peachers, means subordinate national Ru-
thority-Perpetual strife and bloody conflict.
The popular response to these bold declarations
in the United States Senate will be, that the
Union must and shall be preseryed-the laws
must and shall be eRiOrced-and national au-
thority ecognized.

DEMOCRATS who think they are going to
have politics alltLcir own way in the future
will please ponder the following from the
Cincinnati Commercial d. "The chances
as are now that the State of Ohio will
" wheel into the Republican ranks in Oc-
tober next with rousing majority. If
" that party is controlled by judicious
" counsels, and is Sagacious in the selec-
" ton of candidates and wise in the enun-
q citation of principles, it certainly has
d" fairer prospect of putting the Democracy
" in the background again than was antici-
50 patcd six months ago"

No NATTER what the President does the
Opposition finds fault. The army may
be used TO preserve the peace in the South,
in the West and on the Mexican border,
but whenever and wherever it is used by
him for such legitimate purpose it is
charged that he is a military despot, and
that he is seeking his own reelection. He
is capable of all kinds of selfshness in their
opinion, and incapable of an unselfish and
patriotic act. Yet he is the man who saved
the country during the war.

Gov. SAM BARD, P. NJ, (Which is post
MASTERY at Atlanta, Georgia, is about to
establish Republican daily newspaper in
that city. The Governor is man of &C.
centricities; but so long as he confines them
to the earnest support of Republican prin-
ciples, which he promises, and of which
he is capable, we bid him godspeed.
Georgia needs o live Republican paper,
and Gov. Bard is the man to print it.

Tomorrow it is our purpose to publish
an elaborate and most interesting interview
with the Rev. DR.. Newman. This inter
view will embrace an account of his travels
IN Japan, China, India, Turkey and the
far-off isles of the sea. 1t will describe the
principal cities of those countries, old reli-
gions, heather temples, mausoleums and
the marts of Eastern trade. The strength
of America in the East will be prominent
feature of the interview. The social con-
dition of Eastern people, their laws and
literature and schools; their agricultural,
mechanical and financial resources, together
with many amusing anecdotes, will also be
incorporated. Besides conveying an i'm
mense amount of useful information, fresh
and sparkling, it will be intensely interest
ing to DR.. Newman's friends and acquaint-
ances, who will thus have an opportunity
OF familiar conversation with him at their
own leisure Orders for extra copies of THE
REPUBLICAN may be left at the business
office during the day.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser
The Democratic candidates for the Pres:-
dency are becoming as numerous as Italian
organ-grinders in the uptown streets of New
York. The Augusta (Georgia) Chronicle and
Sentinel trots out the loquacious and windy
Congressman Lamar, who was so successful
this spring in leading the Democrats to
victory in New Hampshire. The man most
likely to be the next Democratic candidate
was seen on Fifth avenue yesterday, taking
tinguished bankers. He halls from Ken
lucky, and although not "truIy loyal' during
the late unpleasantness, is a gentleman of Gull
ture, ability and high character. The country
might trust a moderate man from Kentucky,
but a staggering fre-eater from Georgia is
more than they are prepared to accept. Lamar
must take back seat.

THE Pittsburg Telegraph having re-
printed an article from THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN giving a list of the oldest
living ex-Congressmen, corrects the list by
printing the following extract from pri-
waite letter received in that city:

gross November, 1926; served through to March
4, 1929. Had such good health that l voted
upon all questions put from the chair during
