THE GRAND JURY.
They Propose to Go and See the Social EVIL
in Person To-Day.

In Person To-day.
Again the oft repeated assertion must be
made, that the grand jury wrestled with the
social evil question for two hours, yesterday.
The august body got together at 10 O'Clock
and went into fragments by an adjournment
at ~ O'Clock. The jury have
considered the social evil question
in nearly all it's phases. First, ssthe social
evils were named and their places of habi-
tation were designated in the McKibben-
Cochren ct al. letter. The jury didn't
wholly rely on this informatiod, thinking,
maybe, the signers of this letter didn't ex-
actly know, so inquired for
who may have had property in the vicinity.
frequenters of these dens of ini1uity. Then
inmates each house had. After this
special stress was laid upon the
ownership of the houses devoted to auch vile
purposes. 1t was then made subject of in
quiry whether these practices propagated dis
ease, other than death dealing immortality.
Witnesses we're examined upon all these
phases, and the local columns of the Pioneer
Press, under the sound judgment and sagaci-

all these witnesses together, and indecently
published their names, to the utter confusion
of families and the annoyance of the indi
viduals thus named.
The last phase of the question will be
taken up to-day. mother words, the grand
jury will visit "the designated houses and
see for themselves. This determination of
the grand jury discloses their purpose in sum-
moning one of Bill Kings reporters as a So
cial evil expert before them. He was not
examined yesterday, but has been reserved
for to-day to steer or direct the jury to the
several palaces. During their travels, in a
casual way, the jury expect to get much in
formation out of this attache of Bill Kings
paper.
The grand jury have the job on hand yet,
but expect to wind up the business to day.

THE LAST CUBAN REVOLT.

Spain, once the leading power on this
continent, holding under the sway of her
naughty monarchs Mexico, large part of
South America and the West India
Islands, has seen her power fade away
until Cuba, the magnificent gem of the
Antilles, is the last jewel of her tiara re-
naming. For several years the unfortu-
nate and unjust policy pursued by the
Captains Generals sent out from time to
time to govern and at the same time to
pillage the unhappy island, have so alien
ated the Inhabitants that they were long
since driven to revolt against the rule of
the home government, and rebellion
more or less violent has for nearly score
of years been fermenting upon the
island. Some months, perhaps a
year or more ago, it was in
dustriously given out by the Spanish
Government that the insurgents had been
pacifed and that extraordinary reforms
would be inaugurated that would make
Cuba more loyal to Spain than
ever before. But during the long
series of calamitous agitations and
civil convulsions the valuable es-
tates of the planters have been de-
stroyed, sugar mills and plantations have
been wrecked and the wealthy owners
reduced almost to beggary. Within few
weeks, as was published in this paper, a
fresh revolt has burst forth. A convoy
of troops escorting commisariat and pay
masters supplies has been captured by
the insurgents and the Government
forces put to flight. The Spanish Gov
ernment undertook at the time to sup
press the news and declare IL was
of trifling consequence, but it is at
length forced to confess that the
outbreak is more serious than was
at first announced A force of fifteen
thousand fresh troops will, it is stated,
soon be forwarded to fill the depleted
ranks of the Cuban army, and like their
predecessors, doubtless, fill the inevita-
BILE graves upon that loveliest island of
the ocean. Again plans of reform are
discussed and self rule after the manner
of English rule in Canada for pacifying
the Cuban inhabitants, but this conces-
sion is opposed by the naughty hidalgos
of the Spanish Cortes, and the chances
are that Spain will cling with the pride
of Spanish beggar to the tattered rem
nants of her ancient colonial glory until
Cuba, like her other American dependen-
cies has slipped from her palsied grasp
forever.

AND WHO Is MY NEIGHBOR?

The lady who labored so assiduously
for the physical and spiritual wants of
the heather of Borrioboola Gah and left
her own household duties uncared for,
and let her own children grow up in a
semi-savage state, was the representative
symbol of sham philanthropy. Teles-
copic philanthropy and telescope char
ity, and telescope religion are the cheap
and easy outbursts Of large and well de-
fined class of would-be reputed public
benefactors, never one Of whom would do
an act of home charits-or sacrifice a
single self h pleasure to minister gentle
comfort to the starving neighbor or the
dying heather in the back alley. And
in America, as well as in other countries,
there are starving heathens in back alleys
men, women and children who don't
know much of anything about the Bible,
and know still less from their association
with their fellow men and women of the
kindly influences that the Bible casts
around and disseminates amongst those
who bask in its comforting rays.
The "Thunderer" of the English press,
the London Times, portrays with much
energy the superior necessity of home
missions as contrasted with the long
range and expensive efforts to convert the
heather.
In modified degree its premises and

If anybody supposes that the present

checked it will be well enough to show
him what the demand for our breadstuffs
in those countries is Our export OF wheat
to Europe during the last fiscal year
reached total equivalent Of 160,000,000
bushels For the current fiscal year our
export of wheat can hardly fall short of
100000, 600 bushels, with large increase
in other cereals. The past year our
breadstutts have exceeded the value of
our cotton exports twenty-five per cent,
while for the year ending June next it is
