SPAIN AND CUBA.

The Spanish Senate's vote of 1874 to Il
in favor of the measure for the abolition
of slavery i'll Cuba must have been graf
flying to King Alfonso if he is sincere in
his declaration in favor of emancipating
the Cuban slavery. A prompt application
of the measure which has now passed the
Senate would convince the inhabitants Of
that island that King Alfonso is to exert
his authority for the amelio.ation of their
condition. What Cuba needs is the
adoption by the Spanish government of a
firm policy in its treatment; and the OK
ecution Of positive measures which are
even not the best that might be chosen, is
to be preferred to the vacilation of the
past. Cuba needs to feel that Spain will
provide a vigorous and just government
for its inhabitants, and the prompt inaus-
uration of the emancipation scheme would
contribute to that feeling. The measure
provides only for gradual emancipation,
and if Spain permits the outbreak of the
insurgents to continue. it is not improb-
able that amid the turbulence Of war the
slaves would gain immediate freedom.
Spain must rule OF abandon Cuba.

STEWART CASTLE.

The most expensive private residence
in Washington was nearly destroyed by
fire on Tuesday night last. 1t was the
property of ex-senator Stewart, OF Ne
vada, and was known as "Stcwart
Castle or "Ionest Miners Camp
The house, without furniture, cost $780,
900. 1t contained seventy rooms, in,
Guiding dancing hall and state dining
room, and each room was furnished in
most elaborate style, all the carpets, fur
niture and upholstery being made to
order. Most of the fabrics used in the
upholstery were purchased in the Vienna
Exposition of 1878, and much of the
furniture was made i'll Paris. The cost
of the building and furniture was not
less than q quarter of 4 million dollars
The insurance, which was originally
$3.50, 900, was reduced to less than half
that amount two years ago. The fire
caught i'll the heating apparatus, at about
5 clock, and although the entire fire
department. was out, the castle was nearly
all destroyed.

DIR. McCOSH AND THE BALLOT.

DR.. McCosh, the distinguished Presi-
dent of Princeton College, says that the
right to vote should be granted to only
those who are able to read and write.
lie does not doubt the wisdom of having
enfIanchiscd the freedmen. nor the eXpe-
diency of having permitted ignorant
white men to vote: but he thinks the
time has come for the requistion of an
educational qualification from voters
We agree with him. The foundation
stone of Il permanent republic must be
the intelligence of the common people.
Even Gambetta, i'll the infancy of the
French Republic, discerns this truth. If
every inhabitant OF the United States is
taught to read and write, there will be
intelligence enough in the land to pre-
serve it from the perils which beSet a free
people. If education is neglected and a
majority Of the people are ignorant, the
destruction of Il popular government
must sooner or later inevitably take place.
We believe in compelling a man to learn
to read and write us the price of the
privilege OF the ballot. We do not think
it possible or desirable to take the ballot
from the hands of any who now hold it.
on account of their ignorance, but we do
believe that laws should be passed deny
ing the ballot to young men who shall
hereafter come of age, until they are
able to read and write We would have
DR.. IcCosh' $ doctrine applied to white.
black and red men, giving the right to
vote to all who properly qualify them
selves to exercise it, and to none others.

1879.

The people ofthis country have peculiar
reasons for gratitude, in reviewing the
events of the past year. While other coun-
tries have sorely suffered from evils of all
sorts, We have been enjoying all sorts of
blessings. We have rapidly come to be
the master nation of the world. which TO
such large degree, we have fed. We
have passed the period of foreign depre-
citation or contemptuousc criticism. In fact
we are i'll more danger Of being spoiled by
eXtravaSant foreign praise than we ever
were Of being harmed by unjust foreign
denunciations
Peace and plenty: ample employment
for both labor and capital; Il renewal of
our old activity i'll the Way of railroad
building; the upspringing of manufac-
lures: the full employment of our rail
ways; the restoration Of confidence and
enterprise; the increase Of foreign immi-
grafton; the wonderful development of
our mining regions-thcSe are but few
out of many, causes for gratitude to
Divine Providence.

THE MAINE FRAUD.

Governor Garcelon prepared strange
Christmas feast for the people Of Maine.
His own party suspect that he loaded
their table with crow instead o. turkey.
and the outraged Republicans knew that
the viands he set before them were such
as no patriot would eat. 1t is not unnat-
ural that the intense indi .snaton of the
people of Maine burst forth on Monday,
when Garcelon attempted to remove arms
from the arsenal at Bangor to Augusta.
We do not approve of the resort to force
to compel the arms to be replaced i'll the
arsenal, but the action of Garcelon in
polluting the ballot box of his State was
hagrant enough to provoke an extraordi-
nary demonstration i'll such an emergency
as that of the present situation.
We do not approve Of lynch law, even
on the frontier, where courts are rude
and justice in them too tarly if not I'M
certain to be effective. But very respect
able people have been provoked to a re-
SORT to lynch law. and acts of atrocitv
are often an excuse for retIibutiyc vio-
lence. The barbarity of GarceIon has
been enough to incite an outbreak. even
in the staid Old theological town Of Ban
gor, if anything could, and he cannot
complain if his outrage, which has no
precedent within the law. is met by dem
onStratiOns which are not strictly COM
patib!e with law. What spectacle had
Gareelon prepared for Christmas In
Maine, While all the rest Of the world
was rejoicing III the blessing, of a Chris
tian civilization, this man. by his ini;-
nous interference with the sacred ballot
OF his State, had caused the people Of
Maine to blush for an offence and alfront
to the very spirit Of Christmas time
