tional characteristic disclosed itself so plainly
as during the progress of the Cuban war.
Whatever may be the good fortune Of the
Spanish at home, It is certain they are having
no such luck in Cuba, and the modification Of
defeat stings them to more violent deeds.

It VIII come right by and by. The world
waits for several reasons, the chief Of which is
the fear that were the power Of Spain broken
forever in the airisland her people would not
yet prove great enough TO be free. Not many
peoples have yet shown themselves capable of
self-government. When the arm Of Spain was
released from Mexico no peace succeeded for
many years, not until one from the people rose
up and overturned the whole system of gov
eminent; and 1t is still questionable whether
the quiet there nov is the rest which comes
through the establishment of healthy princi-
pies, or the prostration which follows ex-
haustion. And still VIC think the world is
growing very impatient over affairs In Cuba,
and is about concluding that there is no moral,
legal or political reason for continuing the
atrocities which have been going on there for
seven or eight years Spain, without any gov
eminent, without progress, hedged around by
ignorance, bigotry and false pride, has degen-
Grated into a nation Of guerrillas. There Is
not enough in the memory of her glorious age
to give respect to her present degradation, and
for her to continue sending regiment after
regiment to Cuba to kill and to be killed is an
infamy which the patient nations cannot much
longer submit to. We trust In bis next mes
sage President Grant viii take the ground
that . longer delay in recognizing the bellig-
erent rights of the Cubans is an injustice both
to Cuba and to the United States, and we
think Congress would indorse the President in
such view. That done, and the freedom of
Cuba would not long be put of, and If It
brought to US q war with Spain 1t would not
be matter Of serious regret. Havana cigars
would be great deal cheaper IN the United
States by the time that war was over, and may
be Spain would have learned lesson.

BowLEs, of the Springfield Republican,
and Halstead, of the Cincinnati Commercial,
stiil demand the nomination of Charles
Francis Adams for President and denounce
the Third Term project as revolutionary
and monarchical in its tendencies. They
forget, however, that there have already
been two Presidents from the Adams
family, and that the election of a third
would look something like hereditary bust
ness. This suggestion is advanced by the
Philadelphia Times, and simply shows that
Phil Days organ is, after all, more wide
awake than its older Independent cotem-
poraries.

DAN VOORHEES, is among the latest of
the large number of prophets who declare
that President Grant will be renominated.
1t is worthy of note that these declarations
are, as a rule, made by Democrats. The
reason for this is their fear that the policy
of his upright Administration may be con-
t1nued for another four years, during which
time it may be possible that affairs in the
South, as well as the finance question in
the North, will be so definitely settled that
the Democratic party will be left without
a thread upon which to hang hope of
future success. But President Grant has
declined TO become a candidate, and the
only hope of the people is that some one
devoted to the policy he has pursued will
he selected to succeed him

Southern rebellion, should be brought into
prominence in this way, to check the
suicidal bent of thoughtless or designing
political schemers in the direction of Demo-
cratic restoration.
Covered as he is with the mantle of
crime, and odious as he is to the masses OF
the loyal people of the country, it would
seem that he tempts adisastrous fate by his
acceptance of this abominable invitation;
but the love of the Northern people for the
right of free speech win serve to protect
him from harm, even as he stands with his
blood stained hands in the midst Of once

him. The scorn which he has doubly
earned from the people of the North may
show itself in the manner with which they
will receive him; but no token Of rudeness
or violation of the claims of hospitality will
be exhibited to him during his unwelcome
visit. And, finally, when he has returned
to the more congenial company of his fell
low-traitors, he will congratulate himself
and them that the imbecile hero worship
or designing schemes of few Northern
Doughfaces has enabled him to add to the
ashen laurels which crown his paricidal
brow another leaf to prove his victory
over the long-delayed, though justly
earned, demands of retributive justice.

'"Too MUCH cotton again" is the cry Of
the Southern newspapers now that the price
for this years crop of that staple is being
fixed. We suppose the reason Of this gorge
of the cotton market is the Incidence OF
colored labor; at any rate we learn from our
Southern Democratic exchanges that the
great curse of that section resides in the
fact that 'the niggers won't work"

THE Republicans of Greensboro, N. c.,
did not celebrate the recent victory in that
county (Guilford) and the State at large,
and the explanation is now made that they
omitted their jubilee for fear of wounding
the tender sensibihties of the Democrats.
They declare they were not afraid to cele-
brate, although threats were made of vio-
lence against them if they attempted it.

RELIGIOUS and doctrinal definitions have
always been the puzzles of the world.
One seldom knows precisely what mean
ing his neighbor may attach to the re-
igious phrases he uses, or what measure OF
sanctity he holds religion in, but the editor
of the Sunday Herald has told US how
lightly he holds the expression "grace be-
fore meat''-and we now comprehend him.

THE North Carolina Republicans pro-
pose to redeem their promise and adjourn
the constitutional convention, to which
they have elected majority of the dele
gates, as soon as it meets. This is right;
but the temptation to remodel affairs in the
interest of retributive justice, and thereby
undo the infamous Democratic gerrmander-
ing of the State, must be very tempting.

The Wilmington Journal corrects this err
Tor, and we make use of the information
to beg Mr.. Canady' pardon. He is simply
a "scalawag." But whatever in the opin-

of loyal people comparatively respectable.

rFrom the Philadelphia Inquirer.l
Valmsseds cannot be making very rapid
progress against the Cuban insurgents, when
he has Ito make 80 much out of two or three
skirmishes. OF course, he has succeeded in
every case. With so many single instances of
success, 1t is little strange that the sum total
should figure up such conspicuous failure to
smother the revolution. We are almost afraid
that Valmaseda is rather miserlyin his econo-
my of truth. ..-.- .-.- ~.
From the Philadelphia Bulietin.l e.
The Spanish Government has ordered another
forced levy of one hundred thousand troops
"for the purpose of speedily ending the war"
with Don Carlos. We have heard great deal
of talk about the speedy ending of the wars
of Spain at home and in Cuba, and we have
learned to regard such talk merely empty
brag, which is not more worthy of respect than
any other absurd thing, and not at all as an
indication that the Spaniards really intend to
accomplish something. .
tFrom the Omaha Republican,
The feeling in favor of free Cuba is in
creasing in the United States. Spain has no
sympathizers among our loyal people; unable
to govern herself at home, rent with factions,
corrupts to the hearts core, her hold on Cuba
cannot be much longer continued. It would
be wise and judicious policy for our Government
to accord to the struggling patriots of Cuba bel
ligerent rights. Some Of the South American
Republics have acknowledged their independ-
ence, and 1t may be policy for US consider the
propriety of doing 30. ..iI ~ 81, ~ 80
