CUBA AND COLONIZATION.

From the Pittsburgh Commerci ll-Gezatte.
Senator Hampton, of South Carolina is
reported as having remarked to Senator
Cullom, of Illinois, that he is sin favor Of
the annexation of Cuba for the purpose
of enabling the southern people to colon
iZe some of their negroes In the olG
slavery days colonization was not so pop
ular among the aristocrdcy OF the South,
bat the Shareholders rebellion wrought a
wonderful revolution as regards the status
Of the black man. There is something to
be said in favor OF the annexation Of Cuba.
but TO annex that island for the purpose Of
peOpling it with Southern negroes would
be a very ShOrt-sighted policy.
Southern statesmen may as well make
up their minds to the fact that the blacks
are among them to stay, and that the true
policy is to fit them for all kinds of skilled
labor, b. giving them an education and
recognizing their civil and political rights.
The Southern States possess the cheapest
labor in abundance, and by just and lib-
eral treatment can utilize il to great ad-
vantage. So long as the negroes are de-
MED their cOmmOneSt rights, are discrim-
mated against by unjust laws and treated
as social enemies. if not aliens. they will
never be desirable or profitable as either
skilled or unSkilied labOrers. As soon as
they are able to better their condition they
will leave those sections where the laws
and customs bear most harShly upon them
and seek homes elsewhere This they are
doing now. The most active intelligent
and useful viii be first to leave, so that the
least desirable classes will remain behind
to plague their oppressors. 1t is not col
OniZatiOn that is needed to solve the negro
problem, but the application of the i'm
mutable principles of right and justice.

The silly gable about Premier

A Privileged CLASS.

From the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
The forced retirement Of Henry Bergh,
Jr.. from the position at the head of the
New York Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, is, under the circum-
stances, a very significant assertion Of.the
theory that different rule of conduct
must be established for the rich and pow
erful than for the obscure and common.
Mr.. Bergh succeeded his uncle and
namesake as head of the society with
which he himself had been connected for
fifteen years. and until recently nothing
had been heard to indicate that his Servi-
ceS to that organization We're not salts
factory In an evil hour for himself Mr.
Bergh conceived the idea that the laws
against unnecessary cruelty to animals
were as applicable to the sports and van
tiles of the rich as to the labOrS of the
poor. He started by interfering with the
Hampstead COursing Club. an OrganiZa-
ton of the fashionable young men of New
York whose idea of sport is to turn rab-
bits loose and see hounds tear them to
pieces. Having followed that mp by at
tacking August Belmont Jr, and L. ID.
Morgan. for docking the tails of their hOr-
SeS, it will be seen that Nh Bergh had
been successful in aTraying the wealth
and fashion of New York against him.
The inevitable result followed and he re-
tired from the management of the organ
iZation last week Pro f0rma denials are
made that these two prosecutions had
anything to do with it: but the fact that
Mr.. Bergh's deficiencies were never dis
covered till he got into conflict with the
purse holders. makes it toleraby clear
that if he had not been so indiscreet as to
suppose that the law applied equally to
rich and poor. he would still be at the head
of the organization.
The practical rule thus laid down is in
structiye. The drayman who under the
incentive Of earning a good days wages
for his family OyertaXeS his horse. is to be
fined or hauled off to prison: but the mil
lionaire who inflictS greater suffering on
his horse merely TO follow a senseless i'm
ported fashion, must be held above the
reach of the law. The garbage hauer
whose slender earnings may make him
unable to provide the best feed for his
bOny motive power is an object for pros
ecution; but the gilded youth whose sport
consists of setting animals free and see
ing them killed, are above criticism. 1t
is hardly necessary to add the comment
that when an organization is placed uuon
a platform of that sort its days of useful
ness are ended.

OUGHT TO HAVE A MEDAL.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, Saturday.
Shortly before midnight Wednesday
river men and others about the landing
near the foot of Main street were start
led by the piercing Shrieks of woman
and the voice of man. The sounds
came from the river. and Mate Ed.
Wheeler, who has charge of the coal
gaugers' boat Tom Ross that laid moor
ed to the shore, rushed on deck with Il
lantern and saw two persons floating in
the water. Mate Wheeler is a veritable
water dog, iDasmuch as he has saved
score or more of persons from watery
grave, and lost no time in leaping into
the water. With great difficulty he
reached the drowning persons, and four
times he swan from about one hundred
feet from shore to a place of safety
with as many persons. Two were in the
water struggling against the current
and two others, mere children, were
floating on an overturned skif.
Besides the rescue of these people,
Mate Wheeler also saved and brought
to shore the skiff, a number of trunks,
and lot of other articles that were
cast upon the waters by the capsizing
of the skiff swells and waves of the
Newport ferryboat. The skiff and the
children were landed at the foot of Elm
street.
The parties rescued were a man
named Ike Miller and his family, who
were moving from Fulton to Aurora,
Ind, having their household effects in
the skiff, which was undoubtedly over
loaded. Miller had closed an engage
ment with Captain Tom Sargent, of
Aurora, during the day, and had taken
that method to remove his family. The
man could swim a little, but his wife
was about to sink to watery grave
when rescued by the gallant mate. This
makes the eleventh person Mate Wheel
er has saved from drowning in the Ohio
within the past year.
