THE CUBAN QUEsTIoN.-The war in Cuba
has now lasted for nine years, and has in.
volved, it is said, the loss of three hundred
thousand lives, on the part of the Spanish
troops, while the Cubans have lost about
sixty thousand. The island bids fair to be-
come graveyard for all Spain, besides
being so big bill of expense that the
mother country can never hope to pay her
debts Had Spain given Cuba her liberty
ten years ago, she would have saved hun
dreds of thousands of lives and hundreds of
millions of money. 1t was not necessary,
however, to give Cuba her liberty to stop the
war The patriots only asked to have
hand in the government of their own island,
and nothing but Spanish pride has stood in
the way of such an adjustment of affairs as
would have been to the advantage of both
parties. The prospect of cohquering the
insurgents is to-day as poor as ever, and it is
probable that at the next session OF Congress
a more determined effort than ever before
will be made to have our government recog-
nize the Cubans as belligerents.

The GREAT STRIKE.-Among the calami-
ties of the great strike is the fact that it oc-
ours Just as the bountiful and almost un-
paralleled wheat crop of the West is ready
for shipment. Eighty cars loaded with new
wheat arrived at Toledo on Saturday, and
had there been no interruption of transpor-
tation, every available freight car in the
West would have been necessarily employed
from this on in getting the golden harvest to
the lakes and seaboard AS it is, there is nc
telling what harm may be inflicted both
upon producers and consumers.

DEPRECIATION OF RAILROAD SECURITIES.

within the last three years the actual loss in
the shrinkage of United States railroad Sc
thousand two hundred million dollars
more than the entire national debt. If all
the banks in the country should break, one
half paying nothing and the rest twenty
cents on the dollar, the loss would not ex-
coed that inflicted by the depreciation of

Later adyices than the above show that the strike
is very general Throughout the country, and that
the strikers are at almost every point reinforced
by large mobs of idle and dissolute persons and
that gross outrages perpetrated in almost every
section, In pittsburg affairs remain pretty much
unchanged, the mob having possession of all the
railroad property, and preventing the running OF
any trains.
