Gov RoBiNsONs veto OF the Omnibus
Charter is document of rare ability. 1t

the eye, while its st ylc is remarkably tersc

The Governor comedies that. as originally

root Of the evils that aillct the city, it be-
came IN the end patchwork # fragmcnta-
~ legislation, sclf-contradictory in some
parts, Of doubtful constitutionaity in 9TH

Looking at its scope and its details the Gov

nicipal Government, hut rather ~ an at

and secure fresh distribution of powerand
patronage for the benefit Of individuals.
Beyond all question the Omnibus bill was
liable to this objection. as was, Co still
greater degree. the charter of 1901. under
which TWEED and his accompliccs plumber
ell the city of millions of money; and as
was, only to less extent, almost every
charter and piece of charter that has been
inflicted upon this city for the lat twenty
years.
This brings us to the main idea that
undcrlics all the Governors objections to
the Omnibus bill. Ever since the Republic
cans came into power in this state they
have been trying to rule New York from
Albany. At the COMMENCEMENT Of this con-
spiracy to undermine the principle of self
government in it, proper application to this
city greedy Republicans in the interior and
corrupt Democrats in the metropolis joined
hands to clutch power, dispense patronage.

or elegance, and who can insist on
the Importance of this part OF the design.
But when u public building is to be erected
there is no one who stands in this relation
to its internal and special uses; and the
consequence is that the ambition OF the
architect cXpcnds itself on the exterior as
the thing Of principal importance; and hav-
ing made an exterior which he ilatters
himself is going to give him great
reputation, he sacrifices the interior TO the
conditions Of the outward form. The result
is an enormous expenditure for a purpose
that is poorly answered. and the public are
no better accommodated than they were be-
fore; while the chances are ten To one that
the exterior will confer ON the architect the
very opposite reputation to that which he
hoped to gain.

a depleted treasury seems to be altogether
unreasonable. We find the same inveteratc
tendency TO extravaganza which is the
most fatal inheritance Of the Second Empire
in other accounts OF the foreign department.
Thus the total set down for accessory ana
contingent expenses connected with mis-
sons and consuatcs amounts to nearly a
million, while the aggregate assigned to
like purposes in Germany does not reach a
third of that sum.
We may sum up the difference between
these rival countries, in regard to the man

Cool for the Tropics.

II il wore practicable To suppress the Cuban
revolution 10y Spanish cdicts, official reports
Of victories, or hgh-sounding proclana-
tions, it would have long since been buried
out Of sight Not year has passed since
its outbreak in October, 1868, in which it has
not been officially declared to be virtually
cxtingushcd; and not a Captan-General has
ruled in Cuba from the days of LERsUSDI to
the advent of MARTINEZ CAMPos, who has
not done his utmost to deceive the outside
world in regard to the real growth, strength,
aud vitality Of the revolution.
Spain and the Spaniards have strained
every nerve in every direction to make the
outside world believe that the suppression
Of the Cuban rising was not only pos
sibility but n certainty in the near future.
In this way they have clcverly Tended of
that terrible hugbear, foreign intervention
at Il very moderate sacriiice--that of truth.
But the tcnacity, pluck, and determination
Of the Cubans have brought Spain to the
end of her tcthcr. She can raise no more
money, and II pcnniless even for further re-
sistance. without ready cash, continu-
alton Of her rule is impossible; and the taxa
tion which she has found Indispensable for
the maintenance Of this rule is not only in
sufficient for her daily requirements but is
SO excessive as to paralyzc all industry and
10 destroy its own resources.
Uudcr these circumstances, when she
finds that she can neither conquer nor
bribe her enemy into submission when
she has expended almost her last dollar and
her last cartridge. when her shameful pro-
posals to buy of the prominent leaders Of
the revolution are scornfully rejected, and
when she intutively distrusts the men who
have hitherto been paragons Of loyalty she
turns To the children whom she drove into
rebellion. and after having. for eight long
years, vented upon them every species Of
persecution and cruelty offers them pardon
without reserve for past offences, provided
they will only return to the island, and by
such action enable Spain TO deceive the
world little longer. Thus she magnan-
imously offers To- return all enlarged prop
crty even that Of deceased people, with the
sole proviso that SUCH property shall not
be sold until two Years after the official
announcement Of the total paciilcation of
the island. Now, all such property was UNI

M1ssoUR1's New SENATOR The ap

MIssoURI's NEW SENAToR.-The ap.
pointment of Col. David II. Armstrong
to serve out Senator Bogy's unexpired
term is thought to be eminently wise.
Col. Armstrong is an old-fashioned Dem
ocrat, and man of affairs rather than
anything else. We learn from the Mis-
souri, press that he was Chairman of the
Democratic Central Committee during
the whole time when prescription and
ostracism were rife in that State, and
when the Radicals held carnival through
their measures disfranchising many thou
sands of people. This position he held
when Phelps made his first canvass for
Governor, and when Blair took his life
upon his sleeve and went out to battle
with the proscriptionists. More impor-
tant still, he was Chairman of the State
Committee when the passive policy WAS
adopted, which gave Missouri back to
the Democracy and paved the way for
the return of peace and prosperity to the
State, Col. Armstrong earnestly cooper
ating with the originators of that policy.
He has, indeed, been long and intimate
ly identified with the organization of the
Democratic party of that State, and OF
the Union. Twenty years ago he held
the position of postmaster under Buch-
anan. He preceded the present member
from Missouri in the National Democrat
ic Executive Committee. In former
years he was almost invariably member
of the Democratic State Conventions,
and as such had much to do with shap-
ing the nominations and platforms of his
party. He was one of the thirteen Free
holders who framed the present city
charter of st. Louis, and now holds the
place of acting President of the Board OF
Police Commissioners.
He is not brilliant speaker, but a
solid man, devoted to the interests of his
country rather than welded to his own
vain ambition. He will work intelli-
gently and vote right. AS the South
ameans business" in future, we think
Col. Armstrong will make valuable
Senator.
