Possibly the insurrection in Cuba may
be at last at an end, but it has been "sup-
pressed" 30 often in the last ten years that
some doubt may still be entertained
Heretofore, each proclamation to the eff
feet that the insurgents had been con,
qserred has only been the precursor Of
despatch from Madrid, saying that new
Spanish army had been sent out TO Cuba
to put them down again. Never has re-
volt against such odds possessed such long
enduring vitality. We may all hope,
however, that it is reslly over this time,
aud that the Spanish Government has
learned, by its very costly experience
tha. the cheapest way to keep Cuba peace.

rHE RUsSO.TURKISH COMPACT.

"Peace," they say, but surely, it is 70
peace. Fools marvelled at the intimition
Of a compact, and alliance between Russia
and Turkey! Why, with history before
US, that is what, months ago, and repeat
edly, We predicted as likely to happen.
The Turk had no right to exist at Con.
stantipople, nor in Europe, nor in the
Holy Land, nor anywhere.
But, the sting drawn from the Turkish
power, Turkey became sort Of negative
power. -
Thut is all passed. As most natural
Turkey joins with the power that has
fought her, against the "Povera," 50 call

crushed. .- e., ........-
The "Peace" that now is, is peace that
bring no peace. England is arming. 20
rapidly as possible, because her interests
in the East are not only in danger, but al
ready smitten, by victorious Russia.
But the evil of the modern barbarous
doctrine of non-intervention, is showing
itself. England and Austria ought to
have resisted Russia, from the beginning
Of the attack on Turkey. Now Russia
and Turkey are one, England and Austria
ought to act together. 1t looks as if, yet,
Austria, cold, foolish and selfish, was
ready 10 let England 60 into..the fight sin
gleshanded with Russia.
Prussia stands by, meantime, the secret
ally Of Russia Austria is the goose to be
plucked. Prussia-or the German EN-
pire, as the fungus thing, born yesterday,
and perish tomorrow, is called-is forced
to seek the annexation of the German
provinces Of Austria, down to the Adriatic.
The general conAagration in Europe can
not be postponed long.

WARRINGTON, D. c., March 6, 1878.
The worst enemy Of Mr.. Hayes might
almost be satisfied with the disappoint-
ments which he has had In the year just
closed. First and greatest the new party
was child which did not rise to the activity
of still birth. Matthews made Senator by
undignifed intrigue, gave no strength to
his inventor, and goes ont of Office by the
unanimous wish of the people of Ohio,
backed by the warm assent of citizens gen.
orally. Garfield, who was to be Speaker Of
the House, also by Presidential intrigue,
was miserably defeated for that position,
and can be returned to Congress only by .
miraculous change In the people of his dis
trict. 1t is fair to suppose that Hayes, II
he really ever had conviction of any kind
believed that the civil service of the country
ought to be reformed, and hoped to reform
It, yet by his own acts It has become demor-
allied to an extent that would make Grant
shudder, Is, to use common phrase, "de-
monetized," and nothing but an act OF Con-
gress can restore It to what 1t was q year
ago. The only possibility of mischief that
the administration has escaped has been in

For an Old Dominion and Mother Of
Presidents, Virginia seems to be deplora7
bly, lacking in the financial faculty. She
has been hard up before now, but never so
hard up as this spring. There is only a
little over 500 in the treasury; no money
is coming for taxes; the banks havealready
lent the State $l75,OOO, and won't ad-
vance apother dollar; and the Auditor
says, he can't really run the Office any
longer unless the Legislature supplies
him with funds. Such condition Of
things argues gross improvidence and
nismanagement in the past, and should
be warning to the Virginia financiers.

condition precedent to bis Inauguration, we
find that Mr.. Hayes is entitled to little credit
for services in the Office he holds, Time
alone can tell whether this comes from the
weakness Of the man, the peculiar condition
Of cur politics at this time, or from the fact
that goods Improperly acquired never briog
prosperity to the holder. There 10 great
deal of amusement found in the fact that
certain Senators were tipsy on the night the
silver bill passed. II was an all night ses
sion. The Post Of yesterday published
what II called Its llst of Senator'S who we're
not the worse for liquor. The fun Of this
list is found in the fact that It puts close to-
gether the names of Senator's who never
drink at all and of Senators who are never
sober. 1t Is understood that a correct list
of the inebriated ones would not take in
any who csme from east Of the Penobscot
river or west of the Pacific ocean.

the more selfish man is the more he enjoys

States, where there are prohibitory laws,
