The claim Of the Democrats that the Speak
-r now stands first in the line of Presidential
succession, because the Senate has no regular
ly elected President, this session. will hardly
bold water. IF the Senate, however, should
persist in the folly of keeping Mr.. Ferry in
the chair Of Henry Wilson, everybody will
wish success to the advocates of the new
theory.

1t seems almost Incredible that any traveller
should have placed in his baggage quantity
of dynamite such as thst which has killed so
many persons st Bremerhaven. But familiarity
with dangerous things breeds an unwiso con-
tempt for them. Some months ago lecture
on this class of explosives was delivered at
Hoboken, illustrated 10y experiments. Just
before the lecturer stepped on the platform,
an anxious committeeman approached him
and whispered that no package had arrived,
and perhaps something else might be substi'
tuted for the proposed experiments. 1T is all
right smilingly replied the lecturer; 81 have

TUF pRISJDENT AND CUBd.

The statement of the opinions of tho Presl-
dent and his Cabinet on the Cuban question,
which we publish this morning. is made. as our
careful and well-informed correspondent re-
marks, on high authority. Undoubtedly it
gives the most complete and accurate view OF
the situation obtainablo until we are put in
possession of the official correspondence. 1t
confirms what we have often said during the
course Of the recent Spanish excitement MS to
the character of Mr.. Cusbing's negotiations
at Madrid. They have been uniformly
friendly, and IT would appear from the most
recent OutgivinCs of our State Department
that they have even been marked by sort of
cordaity for which We were hardly prepared
in that quarter. The Government OF King
Alfonso u ready To 90 10 great lengths ID
meeting our demands, and to make the most
reckless promises with every indication OF a
sincere desire TO keep them. Whatever modi-
fications We are disposed to insist upon in the
existing treaty we shall probably obtain, and
there seems to be 10 great difficulty in getting
reasonable assurances OF far Treatment Tor Cur
citizcn, in Cuba and sone redress for past III
jurics.
Nevertheless the Spanish ultimatum,' we
are told. il not entirely satisfactory. Tile Ma
did Ministry has presented two alternative
PROPOSITIONS either one of which would remove
many of the causes of dissatisfaction now ex-
isting in this country, although they do net
quite accord with Gen. Grants ideas. AS orr
one great "cause OF dissatisfaction" accord
ing to the message. is the continuance of hos
tiltics, and the one great object OF orr
djnlomacy now is to insure the cOnclu-
sion of peace, We may safely infer
thnt these propositions look toward the
termination of the war, and there Will be great
curiosity to know what they are like. The
President favors the autonomy of Cuba under
a Spanish prOtectorate, mud possibly con
federation Of the Spanish American colonies.
This is perhaps the solution which he medi-
tates proposing ia his special message during
the present session OF Congress; and we
are free to SAY that We see no way out
Of the Cuban trouble so just to all
the parties in interest. 1t would save
the honor of the sensitive Spaniard; 1t
would give the patriots Of Cuba the substaD-
tial freedom for which they have been strug-
Cling so long and CALAMITY, and it wonld
guard the interests of the United States in the
West Indian waters. But we have no reason
so far 10 believe that Spain is ready to agree
TO it, and whatever the President means to
propose, it is evident that he has been prepaI-
ing for an angry il not q mcnacng answer.
The spirit of his message was one of dictation
rather than friendly advice, and the great
question now is whether, if Spain continues
unable to propose a satisfactory plan, he in
tends to enforce plan of his own.

On other points, tho interview with Gen.
Schurz, printed in other columns this morning,

Mr. Conway's lecture on dragons contains a
broad review Of class Of myths found
throughout the early literature of widely sepa-
rated nations. The similarity Of the dragons
believed in by different races OF men Ii quite
remarkable; but the theory that all these
quaint creatures we're simply representations OF
foes and dangers, starts the question as to how
is happened that In so many cases men should
have hit upon forms 80 nearly alike. In his
lecture upon Oriental religions Mr.. Conway
brings to bear The wealth of his own acquain-
lance with the subject, aud points out that
they contain much thought Of value beneath
the crust Of superstition.

Some idea Of tho ferment into which the
public mind has been plunged by tho revival
of the School question In its various phases
may be gathered from the correspond
ence on the subject which we pub
lish this morning. The more fully the views
of all classes are expressed, the clearer IL
becomes that the only safety for Common
School system rests In standing just where We
are,-on the one hand fOrbdding any sectarian
appropiiations, and on the other avoiding by
all means the effort TO drag the question into
national politics. The moment we pass from
the present settlement, an agreement upon
any practical basis seems to become impos-
sible. 1t is a most dangerous subject for the
people TO permit demagogues 20 be fooling
with.
Our Philadelphia correspondence shows that
the revival efforts of MessrS. Moody aud
Sankey arc awakening great interest in that
city, Exceedingly unfayoiable weather has not
interfered with the size of the audiences so
much as at first reported; on fair days the
crowds have been immense. The interest, too,
is growing. Special facilities afforded by the
railroads bring many people from distance
on excursion trains, and there has also been
marked increase in the number Of those who
attend the inquiry meetings. 1t is an admirable
feature OF the present revival that il is almost
wholly free from the excuses which character
lied most Of the previous ones. while the work
effected il none the less real, and 10 more
likely to be permanent

Curious Death from Hydr0pllobia.

The death from hydrophobia which oc-
CURED in Brooklyn last week is in some
respects noteworthy The victim was a
large, robust man, of temperate habits.
The dog that bit him showed no symptoms
of disease, and Is still alive, apparently in
perfect health. The wound was inflicted
accidentally when the man and dog were
at play; it healed kindly, and no marks
were left. The patient however continued
anxious and morbid. He consulted a
physician, and was assured that there was
no danger Still he lived in constant
dread of hydrophobia, passing sleepless
nights, and often subjecting himself to va
rious tests in fear of discovering traces of
disease. Finally, on the nth of June,
eight weeks after the bite, the first symp-
toms of hydrophobia were manifested.
Spasms superened, and the patient died
in great agony. The case is anomalous,
but not without parallel Just about
year ago one Mccormick died in New
York city under much the same circum-
stances. All that seems to be established
in regard To hydrophobia does not conflict
with the developments just noticed. The
prime condition Of the disease is, that the
animal communicating the virus should
be excited, which has been the case with
all healthy dogs whose bites have proved
fatal. Chicago Tribune, June rs.
