IfSpain finds a rebellion on her hands in
Cuba 1t win be due to her own bad system
of government. A band of filibusters of the
size of Aguero's could make no Roadway
on the island were it not for the fact that
the inhabitants were ripe for revolt, made so
BY the plundering system of taxation to
which they are subjected by the home gov
eminent. Cuba is looked upon by Spain
simply as source of revenue, and the poll
cy of the Madrid government SO far as re-
lates to that island is contrived with no 9TH
or end in view than to wiring from the Gu
ban planters the largest possible amount of
money. The result, Of course, is impover-
ishment and consequent discomfort, which
makes the islanders ready to rise in revolt
against the home government whenever op-
portunity is offered.

Whether Mr.. Conkling prepared speech
in 1877 against the counting of Louisiana
for Hayes or not is not matter of great in
terest probably at the present time. The
question has recently suffered revival,
however, by reason of the statement of Col.
c. W. Woolley of Cincinnati, who said he
knew an ex-senator and two Representa-
tives who had read such speech. The ex-
Senator referred to was Mr.. Herman and the
Representatives Abram s. Hewitt and Da-
yid Dudley Field. All three of these per-
sons now deny that they ever read such
speech or ever had reason to believe that
such a.one was prepared. Col. Wooey's
informant is supposed to be Senator Jones
OF Nevada. Mr.. Conkling himself has de-
MED that he ever had any purpose to make
such a speech.

The Kentucky legislature has under con-
sideration a bill to change the punishment
for keeping gambling house from fine to
imprisonment in the penitentiary for not
less than one nor more than three years. If
Kentucky wants to get rid of her gamblers
this is short and effective way to do it,
But she ought not 10 confine her attention
to gamblers. Of late years her muir
derers have had wonderful luck in running
the gauntlet of her courts of justice and
coming forth unhurt. Her legislature ought
to do something to render their business
less safe than it seems to be at present.

The principal products of Maine used to
be hay and potatoes. Within a few years
Maine has begun to produce corporations
and the production has been growing with as
tonisbing rapidity. Last year no less than 25O
companies we're organized in the State for
various purposes, or alleged purposes, and
judging from the present outlook (no less
than ten having been organized in the pres
ent month) the record of this year is to come
up fully to that of last. How many of
these corporations are organized in good
faith, and how many are organized for
swindling purposes it is impossible to say.
1t is pretty certain however that a consider
able part of them never fulfil the objects for
which they are represented to be formed and
never attempt to.

Mr.. Eaton's scheme for counting the cleo
toral vote will undoubtedly prove highly sat-
isfacuory to the Democracy, inasmuch as
1t makes the two houses in joint convention,
with each Senator and Representative EMIT
led to one vote, sole arbiters of any dispute
which may arise. With an overwhelming ma
jority In joint convention such as the Demo-
crats will have Rext December, the Democrats
can afford to vote for the scheme and doubt
less viii vote for it. But the Republicans are
net likely to take to it so kindly. They have
not qnite confidence enough in the virtues
of the Democracy to commit so much power
to the hands Of the latter. Therefore what
may be It will certainly be killed in the
Senate. And it ought to be.

Mr.. Morrison triumphed in the House yes
terday by a majority of on the question of
considering his tariff bill. How long the
debate will run on nobody can tell. but most
of the members will desire to speak or have

that we are in for six weeks Of tariff talk.

cided the question already.

idea of the London papers seems to be that
any person who departs from this country
by steamer should be thoroughly searched to
see if he has any dynamite or internal ma
chimes among his baggage. They seem to
forget that baggage is searched by the Eng
lish custom officials when passengers land
at English ports, and that if dynamite and
clock work to explode it are carried il
to the country it is simply because the Eng
lish officials are negligent in the perform
ance of their duty. As long as England has
the power to protect herself abe ought not
to call on the United States for protection.
