A Denial Answered.

When the contract TO carry the mail from
Fort Worth, in Texas, to Yuma, In Arizona,
was recently awarded to J. L. CHIDEsTER of
Arkansas, as the lowest bidder, and at "a
little more than onc-third Of the present
rate sor the same service there was much
speculation as to his ability to execute the
contract in good faith. and also as 10 his
personal means to stock this long and costly
route. CHIpEsrER had previously been IL
contractor or sub-contractor ON a small
scale, and was hardly known at the depart
ment, except as hundreds Of others are
officially known in that limited capacity.
After it became notorious that this Oh
scure individual, living in the interior OF
Arkansas, and having no public connections
outside of it, was able to get two Senators
OF the United States to go upon his bond.
with penalty of nearly half a million be-
tween them and one Of the Police Commits
sioncrs of this city for another hundred
thousand surprise was naturally excited. as
this is one Of the kinds Of surety which
most responsible people, and particularly
men Of business, are careful to shun. When
The Sun published the names OF the princi-
pal bondsmen, the statement was denied. and
seemingly ON the authority Of these very
parties.
In order to silence any doubt on this point.
we now give a copy Of the bond and qualiii-
cations, showing that Senator BARNUM has
bound himself for $4,000, secured by i'm
proved town lots, farming lands, cultivated
and mineral lands, located at Lime Rock,
| Conn; Senator J. L. JONES OF Nevada for
$1,000 secured by improved and unim-
proved city lots in San Francisco and Gal
weston, Tex; DE WITT CLINTON WHEELER
for Sl00,O01 secured by uncultivated lands
in Chippewa county, Wis., and cultivated
lands in Huron county, Mich; and j. p.
ROBINSON for 100000, secured by unculti-
waited lands in Conway, jackson, Faulkner
and johnson counties, Ark.
1t is well understood at Washington that
the Senatorial sureties were procured
through the influence Of S. W. DORSEY, the
carpet-bag Senator from Arkansas, whose
alleged connection with various unsavory
Post OIlce jobs is now under Investigation
| by the House of Representatives.

So the prospect is that the bill for PEN
sioning the police will pass, and unless de-
feated by the Governors veto, will become a
law.
Such legislation may be appropriate I'M
der monarchical government. 1t is wholly
out Of place in republic.
There is no more reason why policemen
should be pensioned than why clergymen,
expressmen, counter jumpers, lawyers, bar
keepers, railway conductors, bootblacks,
newsboys or persons Of any other calling
should be pensioned.
Policemen are fully paid and very much
ovcrpaid now. II they are not contented, let
them resign, and their places can be salts
factorily filed at half price.
The wages Of other people are going down,
or have gone down. This legislation makes
a new and very extravagant provision for
those who are already receiving compare
lively extravagant compensation. 1t In
creases our taxes and saddles labor with
new burdens to build up a privileged class.
Equality in government aud no pensions
This is the true. democratic, republican doc
trine.

The Cuban Revolution Not Ended.

The fireworks expended by the Spaniards
over the complete pacication OF the Island
Of Cuba were wasted, for the revolution is
not dead Little by little the bombastc an
nouncemcnts Of MARTINEZ CAMPos have
been narrowed down to the exact truth-thc
surrender OF five hundred and six armed
men, and the submission Of several thou
sand unarmed men, women, and children
MARTINEZ CAMPos made traitors Of few
recreant Cubans and these men bribed
majority of the Cuban Congress and the Of
flcers and rank and file Of a single army
corps-that in Camaguey, the district in
which Congress was assembled. Through
cmissaries supplied with forged evidence Of
q general surrender, CAMPos next endeavor-
cd to bring about the submission Of the
whole Liberating army. The plot was clcv-
erly planned, and, as far as his tools went
obedently executed; but as far as the Gu
ban army Is concerned, ii has signGlly failed.
The result of all the Spanish gold he spent
and all the cleverncss he brought to bear IL
this Five hundred and six armed men have
surrendered and MARTINEZ CAMPos has, as
Commander-in- Chief Of the Spanish army in
Cuba, and acting in the name Of the King Of
Spain, officially recognized the belligerency
Of the Cuban patriots.
The hardest blow to Cuba-and we regret
TO say its the effect which has been pro-
duccd in this country by the widely circu-
lated falsehood. AT the very time when the
Committee Of Foreign Affairs Of the House
of Representatives was examining Impair
TALLY and in detail the real condition OF the
war in Cuba, messenger from the counter
Revolutionary Committee OF Camaguey and
their Spanish colleagues arrived at this city.
With haste that seems to us unaccOuntablc,
the three agents in this country Of the con-
stituted authorities Of Cuba at once threw up
their commissions. One of these Cuban rep
resentatives, Don JOSE ANTONIO ECHEvER-
RIA, was at that time in frequent Intercourse
with the Committee Of Foreign Affairs. with
whom he had had several lengthy inter-
views, and for whom he was preparing ire
futable proof that Cuba was entitled TO at
least an acknowledgment Of bclligerency.
With strange infatuatiOn, Mr.. EcHEyEI,-
RIA, without waiting for any documentary
cCrroboration Of the verbal statement made
by the messenger from Camaguey, hurried
of to Washington that same night, and re-
qucstcd the Committee Of Foreign Affairs to
discontinue action in the matter.
There IL ample proof to-day, as will be
seen by letters Of President VICENTE GAR
GA, published in another column, not only
that the revolution Is alive, but also that
the Congress which REASONABLY dissolved
itseli ana not represent the spirit Of its con-
btituents. We have not heard that Mr.
NhLVERRIA has Withdrawn his request To
Inc Committee of Foreign Affairs, and as II
~ unlikely that he will ever again represent
euoa systematically either here or else.

What good will Mr. HowEs speech do {?

incalculable in value. 1t Is an arraignment,
by conscientious Republican Senator OF n
man who has come into the Office Of Presi-
dent by means Of fraud and corruption-a
man who has been false to his party and
false TO his country. II plucks from the
brow Of HAYES all the honors properly per-
tanning to high Office fairly won and faith
fully administered. 1t holds him up before
the whole world, the fathess, base, bar
gaining, corrupt politician that he Is. IF
Mr.. PACKARD was not elected Governor of
Louisiana" says Mr. Howe nothing can
be more certain than that Mr.. HAYES was not
elected President Of the United States. With
out the electoral vote Of Louisiana the
whole world knows that Mr.. HAYES had not
the votes in the Electoral College necessary
TO constitute an election. And If Louisiana
did not vote for PACKARD, the whole world
knows that Louisiana did not vote for
HAYES. PACKARD received nearly 1900
votes more o than some Of the HAYES
electors"
1t is true, as Mr. HowT asserts, that the
whole world knows these facts, and II is true

The speech Is In the interest Of politica in

come comparatively useful citizens.
