That excavation on the north
side came near causing a terrible
catastrophe Saturday. The runa-
way team barely missed running
into it, and if they had it, would
have torn the wagon to pieces, kill
ed the little negro on the wagon
tongue, and perhaps killed the
mules. We suggested some time
ago that railing should be put mp
there. Somebody will have dam
ages to pay yet if it is neglected.

Those who ~prophcsied that the collapse
of the carlist cause would be speedily
followed by the suppression of the Cuban
rebellion can now movea RECOMMENDATION
Of the whole matter and revise their cal
cuIatiOns in accordance with present
facts. Since king Alfonzo ex%tinguisned
his cousin, every available man, musket
and dollar which Spain possesses has been
turned toward Cuba; yet the insurrec'
ton, instead Of falling back before this
formidable reinforcement, has held its
" at all points, md In some places
rapidly advanced. Even the Madrid
| kilograms, heretofore uniformly favorable
to the government, have lately assumed
quite a different tone, and do not hesitate
to acknowledge that the difficulties are
increasing rather than diminishing,
Such a confession from such n source u
proof positive that the rebels have lost
nothing and gained much. And 1t Is a
proof very nearly positive that Il move,
ment which has gained 10 firm a foothold
in the face of tremendous odds, ana WIN
out the smallest outside assistance, car
never be thoroughly suppressed
The Cuban insurrectiOn was not Il
sudden outbreak, the result Of Temporal!
dissatisfaction and trifihg grievances j
is the logical consequence Of centuries o.
misrule. Tho people have been abused
and plundcrcd until armed resistance
became n sacred duty and the only hops
of dcliverancc. They will fight to tn
last, and accept nothing short OF indie
pendence rs a reward for their fighting
And while we do not think the Cuban'
capable Of self-goyernment, according u
the American idea, yet we believe Una
any sort of government, short OF ute
anarchy, i. preferable to the vile system
which Spain CO established three hundre'
wears ago and clings to as obstinately no,
, AZ then. Turkish tyranny, about which
30 much is being said, is benehcenc
itself compared with the ruthless oPpre'
| sion that reused the Cubans to revolt,
