The Filtbusters ia Cuba.

Information has reached this city that the
schooner Shoters, with General Aquero's nli-
clustering party, effected landing on the coast
OF Cuba and that the vessel returned to Key
West with three men on board, two negroes
and one cuban, who had navigated the vessel.
The captain of the revenue cutter, George 8.
Boutwell,, took these men Into custody and the
collector at Key West has seized the Shoters.
The officials at the Spanish Legation have
no Information concerning the landing Of tho
fllibusters In Cuba. They say that inasmuch
on Cuban soil, they have no further interest
In the affair, II being now matter for tho con.

are satlsned that tho United states authoritieo
here did their whole duty in the matter, but
that the Custom House authorities ht Key

II is noticeable fact that every South
ern Senator who has spoken against the pas
sage of tho Educational bill has taken high
States rights grounds for so doing. A
Member from the South, in speaking of the
bill, this morning, said that he would op-
pose it because it was scheme to educate
the illiterate in the interest of the Repub-
lican party. Just how this can be is not
known, but the able NJ. 9. will oppose the
measure for that reason just the same.

WHILE we are not opposed to the selec-
tion of any one of tho distinguished citi-
zens who have been named as District del
egates to the Chicago Convention, we de-
sire to impress upon our readers the i'm
portance of choosing Colonel Robert G. In
gersoll as one. The presence of Colonel In
gersoll in the convention would give the
District a weight in its counsels which, it
is no disparagement to any other candidate
to say, could be attained by no one else. 1t
is very important that the District should
be ably and prominently represented in
both conventions. With Colonel Bob In
gersoll in the Republican Convention tho
District would at once take rank with any
sovereign State of the Union. zone blast
upon his bugle horn were worth thousand
votes" or words to that effect.

WE observe from the aspect of the
sidewalks that the Postal Telegraph Com
pany has been running its wires into the
ground pretty extensively for some weeks.
And we judge from the reported action of

diligent in running the company itself into
the ground. Sweet William is scarcely a
success

THE fact that A. NJ. Gibson was employed
by the Mormons to throw mud at Governor
Murray, of Utah, was alone sufficient to
warrant the Springer Committee in vindi-
eating that executive. In the channels
where honest men travel, it is taken for
granted that where Gibson is employed the
party or parties seeking his services have a
weak case, and depend upon chicanery and
cussedness rather than merit.
Bliss testified that Gibson was not
lawyer. So did Colonel Cook. If he is not
employed as lawyer, what is he employed
for? Even a professional bigamist has seen
the point.

the ne piuI Eitrd OF the SEASON, towering
in splrndoT far above the comparatively
pigmy efforts Of the so-called ''lords Of

green's ; the magnificent Japanese I'm.

made musical by cheerful songs OF birls
in cages suspended from every available
point in the hall, presented a scene
which in It's peculiar atiructiveness would
be hHTd 10 cInnl. oDd of which the ladies
Of Elko may we'll feel proud.

as eleven sets taking places on the floor
