The Cuban Uprising.

The Cubaus viii never accomplish any
thing towards securing their independence
untI they have harmony among them
selves and have a leader OF acknowledged
ability In whom they have implicit conf
dence. They ought TO have learned by
this time that the srasmodic and morgan
lied efforts they make for the control Of
cuba arc certain TO be failures
The uprising which began last Sunday
accounts Of which are contained in our
dispatches to-day-show that the insurg-
ents are practically without "a leader or a
plan Of action. and that they are all
ready defeated. Indeed. II the accounts
are reliable there are traitors among
them who save to the authorities in
formation which led 20 the arrest Of some
Of the most prominent OF the Insurgents.
The insurgents are virtually fighting
among themselves over the question OF
commander There are two factions-that
in the north insists upon a brigand noto-
rious ia the north Tor commauder-in-chief.
and the faction in the south insists that

condition Of affairs what ground is there
for success against the organized forces
of Spain?
1t is stated, and it is probable that the
statement is true that large quantities
of arms and ammunition have been SNUG
gled into cuba within the last two or
three years. 1t is quite certain that the
Cubans Of Florida and New York have
contributed freely Of their means for rev
dictionary purposes. They are only
throwing their money away. Before it Will
be possible to make headway against
Spain it win be necessary 70 have
clearly defined plan Of action and leader
capable Of planning and conducting cam
paign. These little Instructions in vari-
Gus parts OF the island Of Cuba only serve
to show the weakness Of the Cubans.
And it is doubtful il there can be unity
of action and a definite purpose as long
as brigands are relied upon as leaders.
a movement for independence must be
based upon a kind Of patriotism rarely
possessed by a brigand.

In the midst of the hurry and rush of
the closing hours Of the session, says the
Washington Post, a story which was told
yesterday Of the Pennsylvania legislature
seems appropriate
The session of the legislature was about
to expire. In accordance with the usual
custom, the chair was occupied by "A rapid
worker, who was deaf to objections and
blind to objectors. His name was Alex
Mcclure Under his able management the
bills were going through at a lightning
express rate, when one measure was
reached that was particularly obnoxious
to a noisy minority Utterly oblivious to
the demonstration, Mr.. Mcclure declared
that the bill had passed.
over in one corner of the legislature
chamber one member was especially vo-
ciferous. He would not be quieted and
Mr. Mcclure was finally compelled to no
tice him for the sake of peace.
For what purpose does the gentleman
rise?' asked the chair.
Il want to offer an amendment to the
bill, was the reply.
TOO late said Mr.. Mcclure, without a
smile; offer it to the next bill The clerk
win read"
And the merry grind went on.

If clerPymen wish to know their rating
in the pondcrous sheepskin tones says
the New York Advertiser. they can find
il out by beginning with the very earliest
English law books in existence. In one of
the Black Letter year books il appears
that some one had been so un6ind as to
call a preacher a fool, with a good theolOg-
ical prefix to the fool. The preacher
brought suit for SANDER and the defend
ant justified. as the lawyers say; that is.
he claimed that what he said was not
SANDER but gospel truth and he showed
that the words spoken could not hurt the
clergyman, for that it was "a maxim of
the common law" that "a parson might
be a good parSon and still be a fool The
court so held. but said that had the words
been spoken of a. lawyer or doctor it
would have been otherwise.

It is gratifying to note that the differ
ences between the Southern Railway Com
pany and its employees have been AMIGA
bly, adjusted, and also to note the spirit
in which the negotiations were conduct
ed by both sides. Various meetings be-
tween employers and employees were held,
in each of which both parties We're consid-
crate and courteous. All Of the meetings
were harmonious and the conclusion
reached is said to be entirely satisfactory
Reason was exercised in conducting the
negotiations. with the result that the

Had the spirit that dominated the Chi
cago labor leaders and general managers
last summer obtained during the South
ern railway crisis, a disastrous strike
would have been the result. The settle
mcnt of the matter shows that strikes
are not unavoidable. nor are they neces-
sary to the maintenance of labor organi-
cations.

It is openly alleged that the defeat Of

Instinct Betrayed Him.

A curious story is told by our Vienna
correspondent, says the London News. A
young man, the representative of a large
firm, who carried a large sum of money
with him, recently spent the night at a
hotel at Presburg. AS usual, he remained
some time smoking in bed Suddenly the
burning cigar fell to the floor He bent
over to extinguish it, when he saw a hand

Tennessec's Election Laws.

The election law, in one particular, ought
to be changed. One of its provisions is
that voters, when offering their ballots
to the judges of election. must exhibit
their poll tax receipts. Isn't that bad
law? 1t is very easy matter for voter
to lose his poll tax receipt and quite
troublesome to get a duplicate receipt, par
ticularly if the voter lives a long distance
from the court house of his county.
Would it not be a much wiser provision to
permit only those to register who have
paid their poll taxes. The registration
list would then be the guide of the judges
of an election.
The contest for the governorship of Ten
nessee may turn on the question as to
whether there was general neglect to ex-
hibit poll tax receipts at the gubernatorial
election in some of the counties. The vot-
ers may have paid their pon taxes. but if
they did not show their receipts when
they cast their ballots their votes will be
declared to have been illegally cast.
The Tennessee legislature ought to be
quick to get rid OF such a law as that It
is too fun of mischief to have the sanction
of intelligent people.

It is peculiarly in keeping with the char
acter Of the ruling spirit of the Senate
that a committee of that body should favor
the Offering of prize of 100000 to any in
ventor of an aerial machine or APP
paratus. which would carry passengers
and freight, before the year 1900. The
Senate is itself a kind of flying machine,
hence, possibly, its friendship for flying
machine inventors. There would be no
need for bounty to the inventor of
practicable flying apparatus. Private en-
terprise would take up such an invention
and quickly make its inventor many times
millionaire. He could soon well afford
TO pay the government 800. 900 for patent.
The reward suggested would not stimu-
late the inventive genius of the country.
The prospect Of legitimate reward from
commercial sources is a much stronger in
centve to best Efforts than the Senates
proposed gratuity would be.

a Frenchman living in Berlin. says the
London News. AS Will be remembered.
the Emperor William, on the morning the
news of NJ. Casim.r- Perier's resignation
became known in Berlin, drove at once
at an early hour TO the French embassy.
NJ. Herbette had only just got up. and
when the illustriOus visitor put in his app
pearance he had just begun to dress. The
emperor, who had to be informed Of this,
amiably sent him word that he was not to
put himself out Of the way at ALL but
to come just as he was. He consequently
appeared in his dressing gown, and the
emperor jol<ed him about his early rising.
But then the emperor asked seriously
what he thought of the surprising news.

fed when the emperor told him about the
resignation, and more so when he found
the Paris kilograms confirmed il. When
the emperor took his leave, NJ. Herbette
accompanied him, but on opening the
door, he started back in a fright, for in
the hail were not only some gentlemen,
but several ladies' to whom he could not
possibly present himself in his costume.
The emperor smiled and said: Il see;
you can receive the German emperor in
your dressing gown, but ladies-that is
