TIE Rev. Dr. Carlos Martyn, in his lecture on Christian Citizen ship before the Y. M. c. A. yester- day afternoon, stated that the ad- ministration of Chicago by Mayor John Hopkins (DemocraD was one of the most corrupt in the history of that city, but that the adminstra- tion of his successor, Mayor Swift, (Republican) is model of reform q and the cleanest ever known in Chicago. This statement is at variance with the representations of Chicago newspapers. The Chicago Chronicle claims that the admins tration of Swift is as corrupt as that of his predecessor in office, and recently the disclosure was made that over 1000 Fictitious names were on the pay rolfof the municipal government and thatsthe City of Chicago was being plundered by this "model of reform govern ment to the extent of several thous- ands of dollars every month. The truth is that the admins tration4of Mayor Swift is as corrupt as any that ever held Chicago in the palm of it's hands, and that Republican Mayors in Chicago are quite as cor rupt and incompetent as any of their Democratic predecessors.
 The GRAPHIC very much dislikes. to question any statement of a, minister of the gospel, putin this instance Mr. Martyn's statement is tt variance with the facts, at least if the statements of Chicago Demo- cratic newspapers are to be believed.

Dire Poverty In Newfoundland.

Incoming steamers bring reports of dire destitution along parts of the New foundland coast, owing to the bad fish cry, poor prices for the catch and the retrenchment policy of the government. The usual annual grants in aid of roads. bridges and other public works have been suspended this year, owing to the colony's financial difficulties. These impoverished people are in desperate circumstances, and it is feared that numbers will starve during the winter.

PINE BLUFF. ARk.s NOV IS. 1895.
LARGEST DAILY CITY CIRCULATION,
CUBA'S DECLARATION
 OF OFfNDEPENDENCE.

The Cuban revolution for inde- pendence began on the 24th of February. It's declaration and provisional constitution came to us in dual form under date of Sept. 16. By this we learn that the new Island State ssto be officially known as the Republic de Cuba. The constitution comprises twentyfonr articles which, are generalin nature and temporary in application. It is intended evidently to take the place of our Articles. of Confederation, but it is much less sdignified and comprehensive document. It sol emnly declares the separation of Cuba from the Spanish Monarchy and centralizes most of the powers of the govefnmentin in a Council. z
 This Council is composed of a President, Vice President and four Secretaries. in the respective de. partments of war, the Interior, Foreign Affairs and the Treasury. The control of all branches of Government rests in their hands, except the power of managing the revolution which is assigned with almost dictatorial sway to the General-inr rCbief, who is assisted by a. Lieutenant General At presentyMaxime Gomez and Antonio Macee hold these offices, They have direction of all the armed forces and military operations, and have especial privileges in the Council.lS baA .1susl8asE l. s8e,.
 The last article of this document provides that it shall remain in force Two years, unless the war ends be fore, when an assembly of represen- tatives from the people shall be con vened for the purpose of electing new Government and of amending the Constitution, if circumstances by that,time make a more elaborate form of government necessary.
 1t would appear that these men, upon whom the destinies of free Cuba depend, are more familiar with the handling of the sword than pen, and the most singular part of the document is, although it declared for republic, no provision is made for governing power among the people. To be sure the lack of a Congress Of similar body of citizens can he readily provided for at the close of the war, and if they can but get along until then it will be much better for the native non combatants, so far as Spanish tyran- ny is concerned.
 Take it all and all, it is evident the leaders of the Cuban revolution are bent on independence. They know this must come first or civil organizations will be of no use, and they' do not propose to hamper themselves with any unnecessary government machinery. They are no doubt wise in getting their freedom first and leaving all else to albright future to be isaugurated by liberty.
