more detrimental to the safety Of the nation
than the contest of sections.
Happily there has been virtue enough In
the American people 10 overcome all these

year with all the organisms of government
in at least formal working order, and the
authority of the law prevails. There is still
danger, IL is true. bat the corrections are

Cuba-A Speck of War.

The dispatches from Washington this
morning have decidedly threatening as
pect. If such utterances from the American
cabinet do not raise breeze in Spain, and
indeed among all the leading nations Of
Europe, it will be very surprising. The
crowned heads of Europe have looked on in
wonder that a successful general like
Mr.. Grant, being clothed with the executive
power, and becoming commander-in-chief
of the army and navy, should have beer
willing to settle down in quiet to simply
rule in peace the nation that had clothed
him with power. They will now conclude
that ne was only awaiting to gather up
strength from the depicting effects of the
internal strife, and will row strike out to
achieve new honors. There will doubtless
be commotion in every capital of Europe,
as there will be concern in every
state of the Union, until the situa-
ton OF the Spanish question is fully
understood. 1t may be remarked that i;
this issue with Spain arises simply in the
American Cabinet as a matter of expedient
policy, independent of any complications
that affect the honor of the country or its
commercial interests, there will be no posi-

Ing comes with intensity of anguish. The
seed of the drunkard's disease continues al
most invariably to bear bitter fruit to the
end of life. III it does not weigh the sower
down to an early grave it leaves a cankerirg
desire In the physical man that annoys and
renders dangerous every temptation. So of
all the sowing OF early life. If there is
sowing to the wind, there is the reap
ing OF the whirlwlnd. The calami-
ties and wretchedness OF life may
not always be traced to the date of the
sowing, but the sowing has been done some
time and somewhere along the PERIODS of
life, most likely in early years. If we could
trace back the life OF the defaulter, or any OF
the other forms of sin in which men are
suddenly overthrow, doubtless there could
be found the very period of sowing. The
laws of nature in the moral world are no
less certain than in the physical world. In
both, it Is true, " whatsoever a man soweth

AS the fading light of the third term dis
appears under the dswning stars of Morton,
Blaine and Conkling, MIR. Grant seems to be
following the example of the wise steward
in the scriptures. 1t is proposed to retire
Gen. Humphreys, the chief of the corps OF
army engineers. and place Mr.. Babcock in
his position, an Office to be held for life, and
one of the most responsible in the gift of the
president. One can readily understand the
policy of Mr.. Grant in placing his personal
friend in such place, and choosing just
such a man as Babcock. Upon no other
principle than that of PERSONAL advantage
could such an act be accounted for. The
chief of army engineers will have charge oil
all the internal improvements that the gov
eminent engages in. The Improvement OF
all harbors and rivers, and the building of
all Notifications are directly under his
charge, and these afford the most ample
opportunity for jobs and rings. Now, if
there is man in or out of Washir gton that
h as the SAVIOR of ring rascalities about him
in an undisguised forms that man is Bah
cock. His first distinguished operation in
that line dates back to Black Friday, though
he had shown himself no SLOUGH in engineer
ing the Ssnaca sandstone msneuveh, and
several previous jobs. Then his record con-
corning the Washington City frauds was
clearly exhibited in the investigations there.
From penniless man, not long out of the
military academy of West Point, he has be-
come millionaire, and counts his blocks of
fine buildings at the capital by the dozen.
He has been very near the president. on his
staff. and accompanying his person, and
has indeed been the go-between that has
secured advantages and favors for
those seeking fat Jobs and subsidies.

ident may have secured from him.

signed for him.

Why Official Thieving Gees ON.

In many OF the departments of the gov
ernment service there prevail schemes Of
lcaud and peculstion. This evil has grown
into large proportions under Republican adj
ministrstions. The exigencies of the war
Afforded the occasion and opportunity for
vast amount of stealing, and since the close
OF the war the custom has been kent nm.
The reason that this continues on from wear
10 year Is that those who are detected in
these crimes are not treated as criminals
and punished as they should be. From the
dismission of Mr.. Cameron down to the
dismission Delano we have no examples
made that would cause the offenders to fear
the punishment that was due to mslfeassnce
in office. No cabinet officer has been dis
missed with such disgrace as to prevent his
being assigned to some other position of trust
and profit There is, therefore, no terror in
wrong doing, and the successors follow in
The same course of corruption without let
or hindrance. While the whole country cried
cut sgaisst being longer disgrsced by VIII
liams, of landaulet notoriety, the president
sees nothing to hinder his occupancy of the
chief bench in the Supreme Court. This is
specimen in the high offices. The same
course has prevailed in the subordinate DO
sitions. After squsndering millions of
money in the district government, causing
the whole system government over the cap
ital to be changed, Mr.. Grant, thought Shep-
herd capable and fit to be appointed admin
istrator upon the bankrupt assets OF the city
under new regime. This system has pre-
vailed of simply letting offenders pass down
and out of one Office into another. This has
caused the plundering to go on. Why was
not Cameron publicly disgraced7 Why was
Delsno permitted To resign with a white
washed character? There was sufficient
reason for his dismissal. Great frauds were
perpetrated IN his department and vet he
retires with the appreciation of the presi-
dent. Such was the case also with one of
his postmsster-generals, who was persuaded
to get out of the way, and bore with him the
most affectionate and fearful regrets of his
excellency.
As long as such custom prevails, con-
tinuation Of corruption will prevail. When
men are dismissed in disgrace, or punished
as criminals for criminal acts, then. and only
then, may we look for the pillsging to cease.

a Century OF Trial

1t is happy thought that amid all the
exigeDcies Of national existence the Ameri-
can government has had century of trial,
and that the ship of state hath outridden
every storm. Toe old staunch vessel has at
times been very badly manned, the pilots
have often lost their bearings, the sea has
been'Iough. aud the rolling waves have
caused her to labor as on the verge of found
ering, and yet she has always advanced
before the gale and regularly come into a
haven of calmness and peace. Neither re-
bellion in Rhode Island, secession In Mass
achusetts, nor notification in South Caro-
lima impaired the foundations of the gov
eminent. Nor did foreign war check in any
considerable degree our general prosperity
The most perilous era of all our history,
during the last fifteen years, was dam
gerous because 1t divided, instead OF COM
bining, the strength of the nation. When
the Southern states, with misguided
sectional spirit, elected to leave
the Union there was "a sentiment
in the North that bid them go. Then there
was danger Of a disruption OF the govern.
ment, but the policy advocated by the lead.
ing Republican papers of the land did not
prevail, nor would the North assent to the
mad spirit of the South. Then there was
another period of danger when American
Abolitionists went to Eogland and there
concerted plans with English manufacturers
to secure from the English government rec
ignition on the basis of the abolition of
slavery, pledging the anti-slavery element
of the North to hinder the prosecution oftbe
war. There WAS great danger thel. But.
happily, the agents of the Southern Confed-
erscy were suspicious and demanded guar
aDtees that were not readily given, and the
negotiations were brought to en- end. The
war progressed. and, though the integrity
of the Union was impaired snd yet grosns
un1er the burdens by it imposed, several
occurrences since the close of the
war have been perilous, notably
the attempt to dsplace Andrew johnson
from the presidential chair by impeach-
ment, and the dispersion OF the Louisiana
legislature by force of arms. But for the
failure of the former and the forbearance of

When the clergymen visited the president
to intercede for the Indian peace policy his
excellency is reported as saying that he was
going to place all money matters In the
hands of the army, and with the church, in
which he had so much confidence, he pro-
posed to leave the rest OF the management
of Indian affairs. This was probably one Of
the presidents jokes, but it was not warmly
received. He must have forgotten that he
was addressing Christian gentlemen, and
imagined himself In the presence of sports.

bility of the administration receiving the
support OF the country or ofcoDgress. There
have been certain uttersnces from the
Eastern press that have foreshsdowed
the present movement, viewing the
independence or acquisition of Cuba
from point of commercial advantage. The
promise Of cheap sugar, and a saving to the
nation OF s25.OOOO0O per year, are weighed
In the balance with the possible cost of the
acquisition. The object Of these uttersnces
has doubtless been to populsrze the idea OF
the acquisition in some way.
1t is too late in the administration of Mr.
Grant to make a popular movement in
favor Of a foreign war at the pref
ent time. The country cannot and
will not endure an ipcret Sc of public bur-
dens ct the present time. A declaration OF
war would be equivalent to the levying OF
direct taxation, for at the present time our
country would scarcely carry her bonds to
Europe to dispose of them there for such a
purpose, and it would be equally idle to
offer them on the home market. 1t would
scarcely be attempted to dispose OF them here
as our bonds were during the late
would warrant the government to surround
such bonds with the advantages then
offered, and American capital would now,
as then, demand to be paid literally for its
patriotism. In ordinary times, and under
Other circumstances, Mr.. Grant might have
counted on the support OF Democratic con-
gress in Initiating a war against Spain. Blu,
in the present financial condition ofthe coun-
try the representatives of the people woula
scarcely vote for any aggressive warfar
upon a foreign power, even though there
were a prospect of great commercial advan-
tage In success. The hazard Of warfare
would permit no risk of increasing the pres
ent burdensome debt.
Now, ifever, it behooves the American peo-
pie to follow the principle of non-interven-
ton. Our tender consciences may indeed
be stirred with the existence of slavery
so near our borders, and our hearts
thrill with patriotic sympathy with
the libsrty -loYing Cubans,' who have been
slsughi cred without pity under our eyes for
years, yet just now our consciences will
have to grumble and our sympsthies be
bottled up before we can afford to be philar-
thropic to any very great extent. Further,
until we have little better assurance that
we can provide for our own states better Sc
curity in selt-government. it will not be po-
lite to be thrusting our protecting care over
the dominions of other nations. When the
Democracy takes the whole reins of govern
ment in their hands, and prosperous times
prevail in our borders, it will then be tine
enough to consider the question of the &C
QUESTION of Cuba.
If we remember Alright no very extensive
appropriations were made for the naval de-
psrtment by the last congress, and it would
therefore be wise in Mr.. Grant to be little
careful in rebottoming the old rotten hulks
that compose what is called the American
navy.

About the coolest thing, anu the most i'm
pudsnt, that has appeared in the newspa-
pers lately, is that of the Philadel-
phia Press talking about the election
frauds in Baltimore. Never since the
days of plug uglies have had we a
very deep interest in Baltimore as place
of political purity, but for Philadelphia to
put in any sort OF reproof upon any place in
the dominions of Uncle Sam, for illegal vot-
ing, is very like Satan reproving sin. They
have had their arms to the, elbows
in the oallot-box at every election,
stuffing in he votes like cook dressing a
fowl, and never stop till all the mountain
counties OF the West are heard from, in or
der that they may know just how densely
the box must be packed. After a secopd
thought. we rather conclude that the Press
article was intended as little bit OF ssr-
C3Sm.
