that the shipment of Spanish goods
for the Centennial is perhaps Que of
the most convincing Of all possible
refutations of the Cuban war rumors;
more than that, it will confirm many
persons in the common belief that
there has not been at any time a
reasonable fear of rupture or a suf-
ficient cause for the menacing atti-

lie curiosity will wax hotter over the
cause of Secretary Robson ssnaval

hoped that the correspondence which
Mr.. Fish is preparing to send to the
House will solve the problem. If il
does not, Congress ought to push its

japanese oddities.

The Japanese turkeys do not quite
come up to those of their kind in
America. Their flesh does not be-
come so succulent and tender upon
diet OF rice as upon meal and corn.
The japanese have an odd name for
this bird, signifying the ''seven col
ored face" from the changing hues
of the gobbler's gills. In tue same
way their name for the crab, an ami
ma that walks "seyen ways"
Speaking Of curious names reminds
me of what the coolies say about
chestnuts and sweet potatoes. These.
poor fellows, who perform the most
toilsome and prolonged tasks for a
mere pittance, whe 'bear the burden
and the heat of the day." in the
fullest sense of expression have a
hearty appreciation of good food.
Toiling as they do for daily wages
that would not purchase the food for
a child in our country, cheap food is
the necessity of their lives. Hence
it is they feed largely upon sweet
potatoes, the cheapest of all edibles
in Japan. Chestnuts, which are
known as ''nine mile nuts while not
excessively dear, are generally hey
ond the means of the coolies. But
they delight to fancy that sweet
potatoes are almost rs good rs chest
nuts, and they accordingly dub the
potatoes eight nile and half rool.'
which makes it only half q mile
short Of tho chestnut. A man who
lives on chestnuts can go nine .Iapa-
nese miles (about twenty-five and !,
half English miles, in a day, while
l -
he who eats sweet potatoes can go
eight miles and half twenty one
and quarter English miles, hence
names. Notwithstanding what seems

Their endurance and strength are tru,

I have ridden sixty miles between

Spencer.

But whether Mr.. Spencer carried
his political practices in this case to
the length of bribery and embezzle-
ment or not. there has been a general
understanding for several years Of
the system Of which he is the full
favored fruit: What he has been
doing in Alabama is Just what Casey,
Kellogg, Billings and Packard have
been doing in Louisiana, what Ames
does in Mississippi, what half a
score Of other typical carpet-baggers
have done since reconstruction in
other unfortunate States, and what
Grautisnn his upheld by patronage,
by troops, and by enforcement laws.
Eleven Of the high-toned Legislators
who elected Spencer to the Senate
we're rewarded from Washington with
Federal appointments. Congressman
who voted to extend the opportuni-
ties Of Grantism by means Of a new
Force bill, and whom their cohstitu-
ents declined to re-elect, we're appoin-
ted by wholesale to Consulships and
other comfortable places. And the
system still goes on. The President
Of Kellogg lawless Returning Board
has lately been paid off by berth in
the New Orleans Custom-H House, and
tue author Of Durelps most scandal
GUS orders has been nominated Us
DurelPs successor.
There is a strong feeling in the
Republican party that these scandals
must be stopped without another
months delay. They have brought
the party So near destruction that IL
only escaped by the blunders Of its
opponents; and the best men Of the
old organization which elected Lin
coin, fought through the war, and
freed the slave, are satisfied that Re-
publicanis,n is not worth preserving
any longerifit only breeds corruption
and upholds fraud and violence:
This seems to be a good time for re-
form, and there is perhaps no s'prac-
teal politician IN Washington who
offers more tempting opportunity to
the true reforiner than The Honorable
Mr.. Spencer. Nothing that 4 Repub-
EIcan Senate could do would give q
quicker impulse Of prosperity to the
party than sending this gentleman
black to the private life he is fitted

the Republican is opposea to tile
abolition Of the Returning Board and
afiirms quite positively that the
House bill looking to that end will
not pass the Senate. We suppose
that settles it. We had hoped other
wise; we had hoped that tue univer-
sal obloquy justly incurred by those
professors of the black art who I'M
dertook to reverse the decree of the
popular will as expressed in our last
State election would have some de.
terring effect. 1t now appears that
we were over sanguine. The Repub.
lican has said it. Neither the House
nor the Senate is to be the judge Of

the Judge, and the United States ar.
my is relied upon to enforce it's de.
cisions. ''ro guard against any ac.
cidents,'' says the Republican, "the
Senate has a billo of its own" etc
One of the accidents thus to be guar,
ded against is a Conservative ma.
jority.
In another article in the same is.
sue the Republican deprecates the
denunciation of that ''gang Of rob
bers which has justified a total dis
regard OF law, and an almost unpar

"A Washington telegram, says:
"The real obstruction to Pinchback's
admission to the Senate at present Is.
the question whether there is q de jufe
government in Louisiana Until this
question is settled by the Committee
on Privileges and Elections, Pinchback4
will not succeed in. obtaining votegof
the Senate. Should Governor Kellogg
appoint, new mau the latter would
staLd in no better position than
Pinchback."
How much longer must we wait for

has been sshnm ing and ha-ing" over
Louisiana for two years or more. and
is apparently no nearer 4 couclusion
than at the outset. Is it not possible
for a body representing all The States

Let the Currency Alone.

4 ! ,, a
thing that Congress can do with the
question Of finance is to do nothing
at all. AS it stands, the Republican
party Of the last Congress is respon-
sible for the Resumption Act. Let
it have all the glory of, it; and SO far
as it is unpopular that party will bear
the odium; SO far as it is popular the
Democratic party will be censured
for any change that is made in It,
even if it should be to better it by
fixing an earlier date for resumption
and arranging the necessary details
upon a sound and sensible plan.
No plan that can be devised will
be good that the Republican press
and speakers will not argue and de
clare it to be disguised scheme Of
imitation: Moreover, it is evident
that the Republican minority in Con
gress, being divided on the hard
money question, as is also the Demo
cratic majority, the legislation pro.
posed can never be acted upon by
party vote; and what is far worse, all
the ingenuity Of Republican party
tactics would be exerted to defeat
sound legislation and if possible Sc
cure positively bad legislation in the
House.
1t has already been clearly demon
strated that the Republican minority
in the House of Representatives is
actuated solely by the desire to rem
der the Democratic majority power
less and then taunt it with it, and to
lead it into error and then fiercely
denounce it. A strong and we'll dis
ciplined minority can always do this.
Nothing would please the Republi-
cans better than to get an imitation
measure through the House Of Repre-.
sentatiyes, holding the Democratic
party responsible therefor, and then
defeat it in the Senate by a Repnbli-
can majority, with a great flourish Of
trumpets.
We therefore believe that since
good legislation is impossible--for
the Republicans still control the Sen
ate and the Executive-it is better
that there be none. If the House
|should pass resolution declaring it
to be inexpedient to tamper any fur.
Their with the currency question, and
satisfy the country that the existing
laws should stand -unrepealed, hold
ling the Republican party responsible
for them before the people, it would
| be about the best thing it could do
both as q party measure and for its
| effect on the business Of the country.
