transfer the power to the other side and
range the Senate with the democratic

republicans, like Ferry of Connecticut

Michigan, have been elected by the aid o
Democratic votes; but there is no reason
whatever to distrust their thorough going

Tia Cuban War.

from the New York Herald, April 81
The growing proportions of the Cuban war
are well indicated in our dispatches from
Havana to-day. 1t is now several months
since we were informed that body of Cuban
rebels had burst through the famous trocha
and were marching westward, holly pursued
by Spanish battalions. According to the Of
fetal records received from Havana they we're
flying before their pursuers; for so the Spanish
reports have constantly represented the Cuban
patriots since the beginning of the war of indie
pendence. But now, after running away from
the Spaniards for six years, they seem sud
denly to have formed the curious notion of
taking refuge in Havana, and in order to pre-
vent them adopting this desperate course the
great Va'maseda has hastily gathered force
Of thirty thousand men 10 block the way.
What is most curious is that an enterprising
general like Valmaseda finds 1t necessary to
fortify his position at Colon against those fu-
gitive bands the Spanish soldiers have been so
long pursuing. A glance at the map will show
the importance of the change that has taken
place in the condition of the Cubans. Two
years ago the instruction was confined within
the limits Of the Central and Eastern Depart
ments. The few scattered partisans who dis
turbed the Cinco Villas district were no logger
important and were wholly unable to make
head against even the weakest Spanish column
But to-day an immense army, almost under
the gates of Havana, is compelled to fortify
itselfto stop the progress Of the insurgent
forces. 1t is evident that the struggle is rap
Idly coming TO close, for the tactics adopted
by the patriots must soon render Cuba IN
tenable, and Spain will be compelled to relax
her gratp-just as she was compelled to aban-
don the attempt to reconquer St. Domingo
The Cuban torch is rapidly settling the ques-
tior. Every plantation destroyed cripples
Spain and lessons her power to continue a
struggle that must end in the freedom of
Cuba

President-Making.
From the New York Graphic

A great deal of Presideut-makiug is going
on here at the North, and while the Blaine
men are hobnobbing, and the Allen men are
taking account Of stock, and the Hendricks
men are taking the census of their unmatched
chickens, the part the South will have in the
election is generally overlooked. The enfran-
chisement of the negroes gives the Southern
States a total of 13S electoral votes, IS less
than the number requisite for the election of
President. A united South, with two or three
Northern States, would be amply sufficient 10
sweep the country. But the South is not a
unit, nor is it desirable it should be. Still,
there is prepOnderatIng element in the South
ern States which will have great weight, and
60 far towards turning the scale. 1t is hard
10 believe that Louisiana will be the battle
field of the campaign; but the candidate that
has the greatest Southern popularity and can
secure the strongest backing of Southern
States will be sure to win. But the Presi-
Dental pipe-layers seem to leave the prefer
ences Of the Sodth out of the count altogether.
we may be pretty sure that neither convention
will finally commit itself TO q candidate that
has not a strong Southern support.

THE compulsory education law proves
TO be the next thing to failure in New
York One great obstacle to its enforce
ment is found in the successful attempts of
vagrant children to deceive the ''truant
agents who are charged with the duty of
experimenting them. The youngsters in
variably give wrong addresses of their
parents or guardians. Besides this many
poor people require the aid of their children
in earning their living. Altogether, while
the object is to be commended, it is apparent
that the law is incapable of effecting it.

The Washington REPUBLICAN has another
enigmatical utterance on the Third Term ques-
tion. "He has not yet spoken, but when he
does he will speak with certainty Of tone, and
he will prove himself loyal and patriotic
citizen"-thus, in effect, says The REPUBLI-
CAN. This is rather indefinite. We do not
believe Mr.. Evarts or Judge Fullerton would
admit such an answer as this. 1t is as am
biauous as The average Delphic oracle 4
single sentence in black and white would be
worth million such utterances as this. If 1t
is consistent with Presidential etiquette to
give the Washington REPUBLICAN authority
to speak this mystery, we should think he
could probably speak out boldly without frac-
