CubAa Failure.
General Antonio Maceo, the well known


General Antonio Maceo, the well known
commander-iu chief of the Cuban patriot
forces, arrived in New York on the 30th ult.,
from Jamaica. He Is accompanied BY two
members of his staff Brigadiers Arcadia
Livetlal and Juan Rios Rivers. The general
has been wounded 81 times since the begin
ming of the campaign, and now carries in his
body four bullets. He says during the past
six years the patriots have been constantly
promised aid form this country, but up to the
present time they received absolutely nothing.
The strength of the patriot army to-day is not
much over 1900 men, but they are we'll armed
and drilled and in fine condition. They have
opposed to them over 1000 Spanish troops
who give the patriots not minutes peace.
The general asserts that there is not the
slightest truth in the report Of his surrender.
He says, II have made no terms whatever
with the Spanish government. am CON-
missioned here by tho provisional govern
n,cnt, and by The courtesy of Gen. Campos
was permitted to pass through his lines. The
war must continue. There is now no more
congress or standing government, and affairs
arc under the direction Of Manuel Calyer, the
head of the provisional government. Officers
are now in Jamaica on m important com
mission from Manuel Calver."

The Mark Lane Erpress says the agri-
cultural outlook is decidedly less favorable
than three week ago. Unless dry forcing
weather comes quickly the hope for an abun-
tlant cereal harvest must be abandoned. Grass
is everywhere abundant, and the hay crop
will be very large. The glowing reports of the
condition Of the crops in America and other
grain producing countries, added to the
quicsccnt state Of politics, has rendered the
wheat trade remarkably dull and almost stag
nant. Notwithstanding the adverse weather
and light foreign shipments for London trade
has been continually lcthargic, and the
amount of business SO insignificant as to
furnish no index of the course Of prices. En-
glish what ut the country markets declined
two shillings but farmers were not eager to
sell. Much Of the inactivity has doubtless
been owing to the suspense about the Eastern
question. AS a few days will probably deter
mine the course of affairs, movement in
trade, even If downward, may be expected
soon. Maize is lower and quiet in conse-
ouencc of heavy American shipments for the
week ending the 10th. The floating cargo
trade for wheat was dull at former prices.
There have been few arrivals at ports OF call
Maize yielded one shilling and one shilling 3D.

Political Reform.

All that Is needed to make ours the best
government in the world is for the people
to elect the best men in the world. A let.
ter In another column on the reform of
the Ohio Judiciary by the people, bv elect.
ing good judges, Ella sborates this idea. II
His0 expatiates upon the political duty OF
the citizen. We suppose that we shall
always continue the seemingly vain work
OF preaching homilies upon the political
duty of the citizen in a popular govern
ment. The sentiment that every man has
political duty is mol popular one that
Ia to say, il has no existence in the general
popular mind. The sentiment il Of polit.
ical right. 1t Is the right 10 vote. And
with this there is no feeling of duty 10
vote, and to vote right, aud of responsible.
ity to the rest for the way this vote is used.
| ThiS feeling has no existence in any de
gree that can entitle Il TO lie called popu-
lar. The mass know nothing of il, and
would scof the idea. They regarl the
vote as n piece Of private property, the
same as horse or mule, which they have
| the right TO uFe er not t0s uAe. or ahmae, aud
that is nobody's business. From this no
tion comes eaHily the idea that they have
the right 10 sell the vote. This has come
through much talk Of the right TO vote IA
II IL were a personal belonging, and had
no attending duty or responsibility, aud
therefore no reqnisitioR of capabiliIy. We
talk Of this ~ a government Of the people
but who ever thinks that the way the l,eo-
pie govern is by voling, and that every
man that votes does AN act 0f governing
and that this involves responsibility 10
all others Eor the way he governs, aud
makes il his duty 10 always exercise this
voice in governing, and requires him 10
have capacity to governH
If We say no one has the right 10 govern
who has not the capacity to govern we'll
| all will agree. But TO vote is to govern
therefore, logically, no one has the right
TO vote who has not the capacity to vote
with intelligence in public affairs. But
ever since Our government began we have
had continual talk about the right 20 vote,
aud In il no idea of duty or responsibility
IN v"ting, rof the prerequisite Of capacity
10 vote. And while we have thus been
degrading the vote, we have been multi.
plying the number Of elective officers, and
making Judges and Justices, and all kinds
sf subordinate judicial and administrative
officers, elective for short terms, upon the
theory that the nearer we brought all af.
fairs 10 the popnlOr vote, the wiser and
Purer wonld be their administration. Ann
