THE safe arrival of the yacht Octsyia and
the delivery of her cargo to the Cuban Pa
triots has revived public interest in the
progress of the revolution on the Ever
Faithful Isle. The fact that the yacht
eluded the vigilance of the Spanish block
ade feet with so little difficulty is accepted
as positive proof that the navy of Spain is
the next thing to being worthless. 1t also
serves as sufficient answer to the assertion
that in the event of war between this ceun-
try and Spain our navy would be compelled
TO cope with superior naval power. At
the same time the British blockade rum
ners succeed in landing contraband cargoes
for the benefit of the Carlists on the "Span-
ism main," and :he indications are that poor
little Alphonso will soon be compelled either
to give up the war for the maintenance
of his authority in Madrid, or abandon his
efforts to sustain himself in Cuba. When
it is remembered that the revolution on
the island has outlasted half dozen gov
ernments at Madrid, the chances for its sue
cess seem to be encouraging. Even the an
nouncement that Spain has sent IS, 900 ad
ditional troops to quell it must be accepted
as favorable indication of the strength of
the Patriot cause. When the same blus-
tering announcement was made regarding
the shipment of reinforcements numbering
only 500 or 1000, there was reason to be-
ieve that the insurgents were exceedingly
weak. Now, however, that Spain is forced,
under circumstances requiring the presence
of all her troops at home, to send such a
large body to Cuba, there is reason to be-
ieve that the instruction is formidable.
And the more formidable it becomes the
more urgent will become the necessity
from an American standpoint for an imme-
diate suspension of hostilitias. We cannot,
as a nation, afford to allow this Interrupt
ton of our commerce to continue much
longer, especially in view of the fact that
it must end eventually in the downfall of
Spanish authority.

IT'S noteworthy fact that the Demo
cratic party, while disclaiming any respon-
sibility for the color line in politics, has
never placed colored man in nomination
for any Office except in the District of Co.
lumbia- Under peculiar circumstances a
colored man was nominated..to be alderman
from one of the wards in Washington under
the old corporation, and was creditably
supported by his Democratic friends. If
the party had done, or would do, as much
in other sections, it would be entitled to
belief in its assertions of cordial submission
to the existence of equal suffrage. Instead
of that, however, we find that the bludgeon,
knife, pistol and torch are the Democratic
offerings to the black

PERsH1Ne, Aleck McClure's Copperhead
candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania,
refuses to resign the Office of judge which
he now holds although McC lure has advised
him 10 do so. The old reptile is right so
far as selfish considerations are concerned,
for if he should crawl out ofthe sunny spot
which he now enjoys, the people of the
Keystone State would see to it that he
never should find another. True to his
Democratic instincts, he holds on to the
public teat like grim death 70 a defunct

THE newsless scribblers have already
begun to tell US what the President will rec
ommend in his next annual message. Some
ofthem have been shrewd enough to predict
that he will consistently adhere to his past
record as regards the finance question and
the integrity of the nations promises to
preserve intact the achievements of the war.
OF course this is all guess work. but 1t is no
doubt good guess work for all that.

England is nursing trouble respecting her
future king. She has been there before, and
to step from the quiet, pleasant, prosperous
reign of Queen Victoria into the shadows OF
political chaos engendered by the want OF
moral stamina and manly dignity on the throne
is a change which augurs no good, and one
which the English may we'll deprecate. The
majority of her kings, however, from the willy
Hanoverians to that old injudicious skinfint,
George ", never cast . shadow of morality
sufficient in size to be seen at the first glance.
Most of them had mistresses, and those who
had not, lost no time in getting some other fel-
lows, and if the fellow objected, his head was
very liable to be walking through London sup
ported by pole or resting quietly upon the
gate-posts of the city, and it was no use to kick
against it in those days. But gradually the
Magma Charta has brought a better era to
English subjects, and now the composing and
disposing power nestles in great measure in
the broad and ample arms of Parliament. If
the Prince Of Wales does not deport himselfsc-
cording to the English idea of propriety they
have simply to repeat the interesting serio-
comic tragedy of Charley the First, and that
will settle it.

The respective regulations of the candidates
for gubernatorial honors in Pennsylvania run
something like this: John F. Hartranft, for
honesty, integrity and patriotism, cannot be
successfully assailed. In contrast with this is
the name of Cyrus L. Pershing, whose nomina-
ton is scarcely announced before he is proven
to be bribe-taker, an active and earnest rebel
sympathizer, the flexible tool Of vast corpora
tons, to whose bidding he Bonded, often shield
ing them in the Legislature at the expense OF
the then overtaxed and debt-burdened farmers
and mechanics of the State. How do they
compare? The Reform Democracy, for some
mysterious reason, is truly unfortunate in the
selection Of its standard-bearers.
Pershing and Bigelow. One q sympathizer
with everything that has tended to the disin
tegration of the Union; the other man who
is Republican at heart but has allowed his
Unsuitable thirst for personal political aggran-
dizement to lead him into the paths Of a mis-
cradle infdelity. This is q peculiar brace Of
men, viewed from whatever standpoint you
please. It is, however, characteristic selec-
ton of the Democratic party; for it seems
quite necessary with it to either choose radi-
cally ong-hesded "lost cause" sympathizer
as standard-bearer, or else renegade Re-
publican. A happy medium is.an impossible
thing with the Democracy. They seem to try

The Young, Mentally Powerful of the Tall
Tower, with gflded gin-shop basement, has
recently wandered into new fields of scandal
and calumny. After having spent his resources
of Tituperstion upon the Secretary of the Inte-
rior and Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and
finding that there was no responsive strain,
either the Iancies of the people or in the real
ties of the investigating committee, he quietly
withdraws his editorial force from that point
of attack, and, with his usual amount of execu-
tive weakness, concentrates them for the pres
ent in violent and unprovoked onslaught on
the private and public character of Solicitor
Smith. He has no direct charges whatever to
make, but, in order to satisfy morbid desire
to keep up the war so inconsistency inaugu-
rated, and so miserably executed, he clothes
himself in the raiment of conjecturer and i'm
AGNES manifold irregularities in the public
career of the solicitor. There is something
really pitiable In the style and manner by
which the young journalist struggles on In his
puerile assaults. If no more good has been
accomplished by the metropolitan press than
has been derived from the young mans COM
bat with the mythical Indian ring, it would
be a very proper and judicious thing for them
to turn their steam off and stop their presses.

but when the eliminating point comes in the

The rag-money josies who held an extended
and confused coDfab at Cooper Institute on
Thursday night were as complete gathering
of men who did not know what is wanted as It
is possible to imagine. Old Uncle Richard
Schell presided, more for the purpose Of seeing
how it felt than to accomplish anything to ad-
vance the interests of soft money, and the rest
of the silver haired resolving veterans wanted
to resolve once more before being gathered in,
Just to awaken the memories Of by-gone days.
This seems to be year peculiarly adapted to
this kind of. business. Old political fossils all
over the land, whose senses are seriously i'm
paired, seem to arouse themselves from leth-
argic sleep, and shaking their palsied hands
and smacking their toothless mouths cry out
"Brethren, let us resolve once more"
DR.. Mary Walker, bless her cosmopolitan
heart, has spent an hour with the lecture-go-
ing people of San Francisco. It is said that
she came on to the stage in her own graceful
way, with her panties tucked neatly in the top
of her little shoes, and her small white hands
slowed carefully away meath her coat-tails,
and staring calmly at her auditors for mo-
nent, finally settled her gaze upon cross-eyed
newspaper reporter in an orchestra chair and
said: "Ladies and gentlemen, see before me
one of those diminutive items OF humanity
whom his satanic majesty has chosen as his
special messenger to dog my footsteps and
every action, for the express purpose of so
ridiculing me and my dress as to force me to
yield to public opinion and take off my pants.
[Applause.l Ladies and men, 1 won't do it
for him nor any other man, and that settles
it." For some unknown reason the reporter
at this blast seized his chapeau and left the
hall. 1t is generally supposed that he was
disappointed.

Spain has offered Cuba peace. Satan offered
the Son of Mary dominion, power and princi-
palities once, and from all appearances it was
in the same spirit that Spain seeks Cancellation
now. Peace, peace after seven years Of merci-
less warfare to suppressl Peace, after fertiliz-
ing Cuban soil with the bodies of one hundred
and fifty thousand menI Peace, after carrying
waste and desolation and the torch into the
fair wales and hills of a once prosperous
province! Peace, when all hope of vanquish-
ing the patriot natives has fedl Peace, when
there is a cancerous sore at home sapping the
essence of her political life therel The stub
born and dsspotic people yield and offer peacel
Indeed, this is the grandest comedy of Spain's
existence-a ridiculous proposition. which the
Cubans laugh to scorn. No peace will be &C
ceptable to them save that which frees them
from the thrsldom of their hard taskmaster.
They want no such peace as Valmaseda feels
moved to give. They know full well the trick
cry ofthis scheming and cruel politician. They
feel that his proposition means simply quiet
submission to the power Of Spanish authority,
and a sinking back into the same old ruts they
were in before the war. This is precisely what
they have been fighting against with such in
domitable pluck and heroic valor for the past
decade Of years, and now, while their strength
is increasing and SPANS powers waning, it
seems mockery to them 10 be offered peace
which is virtually slavery. Valmaseds has
not judged his opponents Alright. They are
not the people he was fighting against four
years ago. The experience Of a long, dreary,
desolating strife has been q lesson to them
which they cannot easily forget. Peace one
year ago to them, even the peace the despot
now feels forced to give, would have been q
precious boon. At that time they had not
reaped the harvest Of heroism and fortitude
which comes OF long suffering and persistent
struggling for social and political liberty.
They had not suffered the merciless tyranny
a tyrant can show in q war of suppression.
They had not seen their houses in ruins, their
fields laid to waste, their comrades murdered
in cold blood, their wives and daughters out
ragged and shot. These sights have made them
heroic, it being heroism which nothing can
satisfy save a complete triumph of their cause.
Spain, by her inhuman and impolitic course, has
reused the tiger in this patriotic people, and
she will find her present Cancellation policy
dodge an utter failure SO long as she withholds
from them the simple right to rule themselves
with no allegiance to Alfonso's throne.
