CUBAN SLAVES FREED.

The Queen regent OF Spain is show
ing that she has kind heart. An
impulsive outbreak against the gov
ernment broSe cut short time ago.
Much sympathy WAS felt for the lead
ers, who had bean arrested, and who
were expected 10 be doomed 10 death.
The Queen shared the prevalent sym.
pathy, and has pardoned them. Mer-
ciless prominent Spanish grandees
are indignant, but the people are
aroused to enthusiasm for their kind
hearted Queen. She has performed
another grand deed-she has libei ated
every slave in Cube. The Spanish
have been hard task masters ever
since they compelled the Indians to
work in the mines till kindly death
relieved thtm.' We have teen gangs
OF slaves in the streets Of Havana,
each one led by white man carrying
a loaded gun over his shoulder, or a
sword by his side. The
gloomy, downcast countenances Of
the poor victims OF Spanish
greed, were a striking contrast
to the faces Of our plantation hnndl
thirty years ago, which were usually
ready at the least provocation to burst
into bread grin and merry chuckle
There have been partial acts OF eman,
cipation in Cuha before, and there
was law passed in 1879 for the grad,
ual abolition OF slavery throughout
the islands, but the law was greatly
evaded, and men FIR whose freedom
It provided were detained ia slavery
and upwards OF 100000 negroes were
still in bondage. DsregardinV parlia
and i'll executed plans Of emancipa
ton, the kindly Queen has made ev
cry elave in Cuba a free man. Thi,
generous act leaves every government
in Europe clear OF slavery, Spain wa

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
MORGAN AND CHALMERS.

The election OF the Hon. j. b. Nor

gressional District is assured. From

that the Democrats are 80 united in
his support as to leave no doubt OF his
success. A few ofiice-seeking Demo

posing Judg, Morgan, but Chalmers
will receive fewer Democratic votes
than were ct for him two years ago,
while most a tie Greenbackers and
many Republicans will vote for Nor
gan. The candidacy OF Chalmers rep
resents nothing under the sun but
selfshness. Too big for either of the
two g,eat political parties, too small to
create new party, he has organized
the Chalmers patty, and in the hope
OF securing the negro vote he
has adopted the old methods
of the carpetbageers by psra1-
ing the district and striving day and
night 10 gray the blacks agains. the
whites. An Independent in Congress
exercises no more influence in leRi la
ton than block OF wood. He is mic
trusted by all parties and respected by
none. He usually votes against the
party he has deserted or which has
repudiRted him, but the party which
profits by the treason never respects
the traitor. What good Gen. Cba'-
mers can do in Congress for Rspub'

choice of the Democracy, the great
parry which has been intrustsd with
the administration Of the government
and will be in position ia Congress
to serve the country and the people
of his district. The people
of the Second District will
not hesitate between the self
nominated Chalmers and Morgan, the
nominee of his Iarty. Judge j. B.
Morgan deserves the indorsement OF

made Wis.,, safe, influential member
OF Congress, and he will no doubt be
elected by an increased maj nifty.
But the Democracy Of his district
must bring out the full strength Of
