In an article, upon the Press" the Rich
moud Wing says :-"Newspapers are very ex-
peosve and exaetug. They involve greater
outlay of money and require more labor and
time perhaps, than any other enterprises.
Their publishers therefore, find it necessary to
practice that caution which prudent men OBJ
serve 10 every department of business. Ifthey
did otherwise they would be foolish. A news.
paper is like an individual who is always before
the public, and if it foolishly blurts out every
thing that pops into its head, it may ruin itself
at any moment. 1t must have due regard to
its own Interests while it serves with fidelity
the interests of che public"

ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA.
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10.

The Spanish Minister at Washington has
been officially advised that his Government has
conceded to American citizens on trial before
courts-martial 10 Cuba the right to select coun-
sci for their defence. In the opinion of the
Spanish Government the treaty of 1875 was
not sufficiently de6ulte to meet such cases in
the event of resurrection 10 the Island, but the
pre- scot arrangement settles the question and
disposes of the reported difference between the
Upitsd Sites and Spain.
10 this connection the Washington Repub.
can, paper. wholly il the Interest of the pre-
scot adnlDist alton, has loug double loaded
editorial 10 day upoo the administration and
the Cuban Government, 10 which it says that
the President is DESTROYS of responding to the
evident wish OF TIE American p ople that the
Government shall DO everything that it can
Icgitima1ely for the advancement oil the later
estS OF the struggling republicans on the island
OF Cuba" But it adds -"Whatever the
Presidents personal sympatbies maybe, it is pos
tive that he has not allowed them to influence
bun IN his official ira lsactions, and the policy
OF the Adm nlstration is not for war, but for a
digpifed and determined maintenance of the
obligations Of ous Government, at the same
time demanding the same recognition of the
obligations of other Governments 10 return. y
Nevertheless according to the Republican, the
President and Secretary Fish who, it says, are
in perfect accord on the sui j"ct have not
hesl!aieG to point out iu the most distinct man
ner what they believe to be the inevitable re-
suit in the future of the present condition of
affairs in Cuba, viz: The independence of the
Island of European control. But they have
never threatened recognition of that ipdepen-
dence as the alternative of any act or failure to
act by the Spanish Government"
