Cuba Again.
tFrom the Omaha Republican

lrrom the Omaha Republican.
Spain has shipped 200 of the troops here
tofore spoken of for the subjugation of Cuba.
This is deeply to be deplored. We did indulge
in the hope that she would abandon the de-
sign, and "let the people go Free" But If she
still hardens her heart and viii not listen to the
voice of reason and justice, we hope they will
never return to their homes and friends, If
they have any. The patriot Cubans have here
tofore acted on the defensive; but now, under
the leadership of Spaterno, they propose tax
ing the Initiative and conducting an aggressive
warfare. They have already commenced to
destroy sugar plantations and every descrip-
ton Of valuable property belonging to their
oppressors. 1t is now war and retaliation to
the knife, and the contingent of 1000 Spaniaris
will have their hands full, and invited to q
feast OF blood. For seven long years this san
culinary contest has continued, and up to this
time there is no indication of a cessation of
hostilities on either side.
European Governments will not interfere, as
1t is so far from their territories. But we have
an interest in the contest which other nations
have not. The island is contiguous to our
coast; is in fact bone of our bone and flesh of
our flesh. The sediment carried down the
great Father of Waters forms the island of
Cuba. 1t is geographically attached to us.
1t dominates our Gulf of Mexico, and 1t is to
our interest to have her Independent of the
effete monarchy of Spain. Spain is now, and
is continually torn by internal dissensions and
civil war. The people of Cuba are not Span
iards. They are only an outlying dependency
of Spain. They have no voice in the Govern
ment; no representation in the Spanish Cortes
They are ruled with an iron rod, which every
impulse of their nature revolts at If our
Government would grant them equal bellig-
erent rights in our ports they would soon hew
their way to independence.

NOTWITHSTANDING the energetic attack
that has been made upon the Indian Bureau
by the army of disappointed and discharged
office seekers, coupled with the thorough
investigation which followed the assault, no
evidence up 10 the present has been pro-
duced which can in any respect reflect on
the honor and integrity of the Commits
sioner. The majority of the newspaper
press, which, at the Inauguration of the
attack, took decided stand with the often
sive party, have seen their mistake, and
frankly acknowledge their error. Those
who attack the Commissioner directly, at
tempting by their innuendoes and incon-
sistent runors to abate his extended popu-
larity among all the better and high-mind-
ed class of citizens, are becoming satisfied
now that his administration OF the Indian
Bureau has been a work consc.entiousIy and
well performed, so far as it is a human DOS
sibility to control Alright the multifarious
and intricate dulles of the office, which is
acknowledged TO be the most complicated
of any under the General Government.

quite IenSIny speech, lnQeeQ. we,
have italicised the more important words
omitted in the refining process. The econ
omy of this condensation to the Associated
Press revenues was somewhere in the
neighborhood Of the tolls on two hundred
words Prodigious But was it done for
economy's sake2 We think not. There
is too much method IN it. When we note
the character of the words stricken out there
is this popularity about them, which must
strike every reader as too singular to have
been accidental. They all relate to the
value and beauty and cost of our form of
government, which was preserved by the
war. and the guarantees needed to preserve
the blessings for transmission to posterity
which the Government was originally de-
signed to secure to us as a nation. The
very first words obliterated were these ::
1--WE believed then, and believe now, that
eve had a good Government. Now,
the rebels did not believe any such thing
then, and they and their Democratic sym
pathizers do not believe any such thing
now, unless they can have the control and
management of the Government. Tha
was all they tried to secede for in 1869 81,
and they declare they would do the same
thing again under like circumstances. How
tendelly and gushingly sympathetic 1t was
of the Associated Press agent to prune out
that little sentiment, as we'll as the next
following, which is perhaps mors uncon-
genial to our Southern ex-rebel Democratic
friends "How many of our comrades of
these days. said the President, paid
" the latter price (death) for our preserved
" Union ! Let their heroism and their sac.
"rifces be ever green in our memory.
"LET NOT THE RESULTS OF THEIR
SACRIFICES BE DESTROYED. The
" Union and the free institutions, for which
" they fell, should be held more dear for
/" their sacrifices
Those golden words had no significance
in the eye of the New York Associated
Press Condenser They were deemed un-
fit for Tor unpalatable in the Southern mar
ket. And the Associated Press Just now
appears to be enacting the character of wet
nurse to the Southern Democracy.
See how kindly it softens the next sem
tence Of the President by looping off the
words part we took in the war;" and
therefor the single word
"past." No one can deny but this is a
triumph of economy. Five words were
saved at single swoop and the slight mod
ification of one word by the change of an T
to an s. OH for these condensing talents
to apply to some of our verbose local and
other correspondents. But we can't have
them. Simonton has monopoiized all the
condensing powers Of the news world to |
use in the refinement Of the long-winded |
speeches of the President He never re-
members to use them on "Ice GORGE and |
coal miners riots" sensations. Siney's
trial, Beecher's trial and Gov. Tilden's
and speeches on Canal Reform
Ire occasionally showered upon US with the
most unstinted iberalrty.

oldiers' gathering, and having allusion to
Ioldiers' sentiments and feelings regarding
warfare, on whichever side they fought, |

A SPECIAL from Jonesboro, Ga, to the
New York Herald, gives some startling
information regarding the feeling of enmity
which exists between the blacks and whites
in that section. The latter have prevented
the blacks from organizing militia compa-
mics, and charge them with having stolen
arms from the armOry of the Clayton vol
unto rs, a white organization. The stolen
arms were fund IN 4 colored school house

FERGANDo W"oD declines 10 contribute
any money t" t':e support of the Demo
cratic ticket in Ohio, and is charged with
having expressed ii desire that Governor
Allen may lie defeated. This fact is only
Of significance as an indication of the lack
of harmony between the Eastern and West
ern Democrats. It shows, in short, that
the Democratic party is so thoroughly di-
vided on the money question as to prevent
the possibility of reconciliation. Yet when
they meet in national convention to make
their nominations for 1876 we may expect
to see them clasp each other by the hand
and proclaim their renewed devotion to
Democratic principles. In other words,
they are so bigoted in their allegiance to
the name of their party that they will cling
to it in spite of their knowledge that it rep
resents nothing that is consistent or worthy
of the consideration of any true and loyal
citizen.

THE Lynchburg Wirginia) Star labors
hard 10 prove that he colored people have
no right to sit on juries. The constitution
of the State provides that ''all male citi-
"zens, twenty-one years of age, and not
lover sixty, who are entitled to vote and
"hold Office under the constitution and
claws of this State, shall be liable to serve
Gas jurors" But, says the Star, liability
"tO serve and the right to serve are very
different expressions" In the face of this
evidence of a wicked public sentiment
against the enjoyment of equal rights by
the blacks. we are told that the Southern
Democracy is honestly pledged to the sup
port of the war amendments to the Ma
tiOnal Constitution, and there are people,
even Republicans. who are foolish enough
to believe it.

THE New York Herald seems to think
that the reduction of the public debt last
month Of more than three and a quarter
millions of dollars will have some effect on
the Ohio election. No doubt of it aud if
the people stop to analyze the subject they
cannot fail to discover that under Repub-
lican administration the Government is
honorably meeting its obligations, and OF
the same time taxes have been materially
reduced. Under Democratic administra-
ton, based upon the principles of rag
money, the very opposite would be the re.
suit. Not only would the credit of the
Government be ruined by an unconstitu-
tional issue of paper money, but the obi.
cations resulting from the changes in our
COVE .nmentsl policy, growing out of the
war, would be repudisted.

GENERAL BARTLETT, the Republican,
who is running on the Democratic ticket
for the office of Ii utenant Governor in
Massachusetts, is the man who made the
Gushing Centennial speech at Richmond,
Virginia, last June from which the South
ern Democrats obtained SO much comfort
and encouragement. His Republicanism is
of the milk and water kind, which serves
to build up the Opposition and strengthen
the enemies of GOOD government

MONDAY OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES 4. 1871

The Democrats of Virginia have just
found out that they have no enmity to
white and colored Republicans in that
State, only they cannot intrust the State
government to such people. They say
there is no difference to speak of in the
platforms of the two parties, while there is
all the difference in men. They therefore
propose that the Republicans should vote
the Democratic ticket, and thus end all
political strife. Kind, is it not?

PRESS ABSTRACT.
/: President Grant, be-
Z ing called on, came for.
= ward and read quite q
l. lengthy speech. He said
d he had concluded to dis
d appoint those who had
D called on him first in the
d expectation of getting q
8 short speech, and had
7 jotted down some things
: he wished to say. He
: then expressed his graft
1 fcation In recalling days
{ when they had suffered
= together 70 preserve q
T Government they be-
I lieVed worth fighting
: for, and even dying for.
} We will not, said he, de-
ny TO any one Of those
: who fought against us
any privilege under the
Government which we
claim for ourselves. On
the contrary,we welcome
all such who come for
ward in good faith to
help build up the waste
places and perpetuate
our institutions against
all enemies, Us brothers
liz full interest with US
lin a common heritage;
but we are not prepared
to apologize for the past.
To guard against q re-
icurrence of those days
we must begin byguard-
ing against every enemy
preventing the prospect
ity of free republican IN
stitutIons. Said he: 81
do not bring into this as
semblage politics, GER
tainIy not partisan poll
tics; but 1t is q fair sub
Ject for the soldiers In
their deliberations to
consider what may be
necessary to secure the
prize for which they bat
tiled" The President
urged the cultivation of
Intelligence among the
people in regard to po-
litical matters, and said
II we are TO have another
contest in the near fu-
ture for our national ex-
istence, l predict that
the dividing line will not
be Mason and Dixon's,
but between patriotism
and intelligence on one
side and superstition,
am bition and Ignorance
on the other. In this
centennial year the work
of strengthening the
foundation of the struc-
ture commenced by our
fOrefathers one hundred
years ago at Lexington
should be begun. Let
US all labor for the Sc
curity Of free thought,
Tree speech, free press,
pure morals, unfettered
religious sentiments and
equal rights and prIvil-
eyes for all men, IRE
spective OF nationality,
color or religion. En-
free schools, and
resolve that not one dol
lar appropriated to them
shall be applied to the
support Of any sectarlan
school. Resolve that
neither State nor nation
shall experimentation
ave those where every
sEild in the land may
get q common school ed
Ication, unmixed with
Itheistic, pagan or Sec
.arian teachings. Leave
matters Of religion to the
amily altar; keep the
ihurch and State for
ITer separate. With
.hese safeguards I be-
ieve the battles which
'reated the Army Of the
tennessee will not have
)een fought in vain.
