man of Lord Derby's character does not leave
the Cabinet without knowing why, neither
does he lie about it afterward; and the i'm
preston remains that it was the purpose of
the Ministry-hidden 1t may be under some
diplomatic disguise-to seize part OF the Sui
tan's territory with or without the Sultan's
consent, for the reason that England needed
a station in that part of the Mediterranean as
safeguard against Russian aggressions.
The scheme was wonderfully like famous
project once entertained by certain American
statesmen for whom the British conservatives
professed q boundless affection and respect.
A quarter of a century ago, when the slave
power was grasping madly after new territory,
it was impressed upon the Democratic party
that the interests of the United States re-
quired them to seize the island of Cuba, with
or without the consent of Spain. In 1854 our
Ambassadors at London, Paris and Madrid
James Buchanan, John Y. Mason and Pierre
Soule-met at Ostend, by request of President
Pierce, and published the Infamous Manifesto
in which they declared that Cuba was neces-
sary to the United States, and that If she re
fused to sell it to us we should be justified
in wrestling it from her" If we possessed
the power So shocking was this doctrine
and so coarse and brutal was the manner of
its ayowal, that when the Ostend Manifesto
was first printed in Europe it was regarded as
forgery.
If our recollection is rot at fault, the con-
servative statesmen and newspapers of Eng
land surpassed all the rest of the world in
lofty denunciation of American rascality, when

Cuba for the protection of our own foreign
and domestic interests and they looked with
the gravest apprehension upon the growth of
so barbarous and INSCRIPTIONS Power. That
they should do a similar deed themselves only
proves the shrewdness of Mr.. Greeley's remark
upon this affair. that it was not the wicked
ness of the design that shocked Europe, but
the coarseness of the manifesto.

CYPRUS AND CUBA.

Lord Derby observed, with great deal of force,
in the course of the acrimonious debate raised
by his revelation of the causes which led to his
quitting the Cabinet, that when a man felt
impelled 20 leave the Ministry on account of a
certain policy adopted by his colleagues. he was
not usually at fault in his recollection of what
that policy was. He asserted in the House Of
Lords that he resigned Office mainly because
Lord Beaconsield had decided that 1t was
necessary for England to seize and occupy
Cyprus and a part of the Syrian coast, with
or without the consent OF the Sultan" Lord
Salisbury declared, with most offensive as
perity, that the statement was not true.
Lord Derby nevertheless repeated it, Just
wherein did lie the error we were not told for
the conservative lords were shocked at the idea
of discussing the secrets of the Cabinet; so
the matter dropped with emphatic denials on
one side and emphatic assertions on the other.
But of course everybody sees that states

In fact, the well managed companies
of this character are, with rare exceptions,

have the peculiar facilities and ties which exist

Cardinal Franchi, the Papal Secretary of Stnte,
who is lying at the poiut of death, seems TO have
combined In his distinguished career the elegance
and brilancy Of the churchman Of the old school
with many of the moro serious qualities which best
fit the priest of the present day. he has
passed much Of his life amidst the splendor
of courts. He began the diplomatic career twenty
five years ago in Spain, where, as charge Patfaires
ad interim. he won universal popularity by his
charming manners and his correct department.. In
later tunes after representing the Holy See at some
OF the small Italian courts, no returned to Spain,

the magnificent tastes of a grand seign-
eur He was a favOrite with Plus TX,
who made him cardinal in 1873, and on
the death of Cardinal Darnabo in the following
wear placed him at the head of the congregation of
the Propaganda. In this position, having general
supervision of missions throughout the world, he
was the official of the Papal Court with whom
American bishops and priests had the most
intimate relations. After the accession of Leo XIII.
he changed places with Cardinal Simeoni, taking
the Secretaryship of State, for which his diplomatic
training would seem TO have especially fitted him,
and transferring to the more strictly &C.
olesiastcal Simeoni the congenial functions
of the Prefecture of the Propaganda.
In the eonclave which elected Leo KILL, Cardinals
Franchi, Simeoni and Bilio were the only other
candidates who had votes enough to make the
smallest appearance Of party yet their few adj
berents could not be SAID to constitute opposi-

"Why are peaches so poor" asked purchaser the

The friends of Mr.. Potter have broken out In

General Butler, to whose interest it is to
puff the National party into as big figure III
the public eve as possible, predicts, as let
ter from staff correspondent states, that the
Nationals will cast 100000 votes in this State
this Fall and even the moderate takers in the
group to which this remark was made would
only declare that the vote would not be
as much as 100000. The mere mention of
even this latter figure in connection with a
party which has just chosen its first State
committee may seem wild to those who are
not yet sure that the National organization
does not look a good deal bigger in the fright
ened eyes of sober citizens than it really
is; but it must be admitted that
the new element is showing greater
strength than before. This Is certainly true
of the Allegany Congressional District, which

Solicitor Rayner's report upon the Metropo-
lis disaster differs materially from all previous
verdicts that have been passed upon II. Inc
Solicitor exonerates the owners of the vessel
who were believed to have sent a rotten
ship to sea, by declaring that it was In
sound condition when it left port. lie
utterly discredits the testimony OF the ship
builder, who asserted that he was directed by
the owners when lengthening the vessel to
cover up rotten timbers in the stern with
sound wood. Mr.. Rayner finds it difficult to
believe the statement of man who
voluntarily cOnfesses his share of reSpon-
sibility in a manslaughter which cost nearly
a hundred lives, as against the owners who
were expendlng an immense sum in having
the vessel rebuilt, and who would naturally
desire to have the work thoroughly done.
Mr.. Rayn'r also criticises the Life-Saving
Service severely, and recommends an investi-
CATION of its conduct in this affair as well as
of the action of the New-York and Philadel-
phia inspectors of vessels.

Yesterdays session of the convention of the

assumed prominent place.

The election for members of the North Caro-
lima Legislature which chooses Senator Merri-
mons successor takes place to-day. There are
other issues at stake, but this is the chief, and
the contest has narrowed down into a bitter
rivalry between Senator MerrimOn and Gov
ernor Vance. A letter on another page de-
scribes the political situation in the State,
where one party is practically disbanded
and the other is divided into warning fac
tons and tormented by host of independent
candidates. Neither division of the Democracy
expects good faith from the other. and there
is considerable speculation as to the course of
the Republican members of the Legislature, if
it becomes apparent, as it did when Judge
Merrimon was elected, that their votes can
tnrn the scale. Four years ago the Republic
cans defeated Vance and elected Merrimon /;
now, if they seek only partisan advantage,
they will defeat Merrimon and elect Vance.
If Mr.. Vance has been correctly reported of
late years, his presence in the United States
Senate as a red-hot Democrat is calculated to
be of service to the Republican party.

A statement in our Washington dispatches
of the position of the Administration in the
South Carolina case, shows that the apparent
delay in action is merely to allow the matter
to be officially brought up, if indeed
il is ever necessary. 1t may not become
so. The tone of the press of the
State has grown suddenly less belligerent
and more disposed to treat the matter dis
passioDately. This is a sign, perhaps, that
while the old South Carolina disease may be
expected to break out now and then, the at
tacks are growing shorter.

For a number of reasons, having to do
chiefly with the way the accounts of fire in
surance companies are kept, the statement
just issued of the condition of the companies
doing business in this city seems to have
made less favorable showing, in some
respects, than the facts warrant. An article
on another page explains the manner in which
this came about. and sets forth grounds for
feeling that this report is encouraging one
This view is abundantly confirmed by the adj
-ditional statement sent down from Albany, in
