DTSCONTENT IN CUBA.

Rumors Of q revolutionary outbreak in Cuba
are probably premature and exaggerated. Al
though martial law has been proclaimed and
hostilltles are reported from Guantanamo and
Matanzas, 1t is doubtful whether any real at
tempt has been made TO raise the standard OF
revolt In any quarter Of the island. Revolution
lists are most numerous and demonstratve in the
West In Cuba only a languid interest is taken
In politics, and while discomfort Is general ii Is
caused by economic conditions rather than by
oppression and tyranny. The independence Of
the island is not desired by patriots as eagerly
as il was thirty years ago. That is why so many
plans of campaign are confined to the American
restaurants, where the warriors and leaders are
In retirement.
Cuba in some respects is better governed than
Spain. There are no arbitrary arrests: the news
papers are not subjected TO censorship; public
opinion is allowed free expression; religious lib
erty is enjoyed, and there are few instances OF
tyranny or oppression. The Madrid Government
has endeayored TO revive the attachment OF
Cubans TO the Mother State by introducing
home-rue measures and removing so far as pos
sbe the pressure Of Spanish military rule. The
island is no longer governed as II was at the
| time Of the Virginius massacre. Apart from the
rapacity and corruption Of the Officeholdcrs and
| the destructive effects Of a ruinous economic
| system. Cuba Is neither wantonly mlsgOverned
! nor cruelty oppressed. The present Government

TWO SUGAR QUESTIONS.

The tariT-makers who allowed the Trust mo-
noposts 10 dictate the sugar schedule will have
TO settle two troublesome questions during the
remaining week of the session. One is the de
mand made by Germany for the removal of the
differential against its sugar. The President
has warmly supported this policy; the House
has passed a bill by which European beet sugar
will be placed on equal terms with West Indian
cane sugar; and the Senate will assume a serious
responsibility if It defeats the measure The pas
sage of the bill will be followed undoubtedly by
the removal Of German determinations against
American pork and thereby the risks OF Il tariff
war with European beet countries will be avoid
ed There is only one interest which will he
unfavorably affected by the maintenance of the
differential. That is the Sugar Trust. The
farmers who have pork to sell and the con
sumers who want cheap sugar will be benefited
by the removal OF the discrimination. Another
week will show whether or not the trust has
lost its grip upon the Senate.
The other question Is the relief measure for
the Louisiana and other American sugar-pro-
duccrs. II the bounies provided for b. the
Mckinley act had been paid for 1894, these pro-
ducers would have received over S12000OO0.
An amendment has been offered 10 the Sundry
Civil bill, appropratng $5,23S,2S0 for the pay
ment OF fraction OF the bounty-cighi tcntlls
| Of cent instead Of cents. 1t now remains TO
be seen whether the tariff makers will sanction
this compromise and do something to avert the
ruin Of the Louisiana planters, whose factories
are rapidly passing into the hands Of receivers,
or of the Sheriff in consequence Of destructive
Democratic legislation. The planters started the
season year ago with the Bounty law on the
statute books and the public faith of the United
States Government behind IL. In August the
bounty was withdrawn and they were left to
| shift for themselves, with their bills for i'm.

At THE CITY HAIL.

The Local right Of an American citizen 10
banker after public office and hustle for an open
ing Is inallcnabe and undispuied. but In indi-
yldual cases the advantage OF carrying impor-
tunlty 10 the verge Of riot Is less apparent.
The question of taste also comes in, but or
course there Is 10 use in disputing about that
The experience OF mankind down 10 the present
day confirms the wisdom Of the ancicnts in that
particular. whatever else II has rcfutcd. IL must
be admitted. furthermore. that 1t sometimes
seems n hopeless task TO convince anybody who
Is fully resolved 10 get on the public payroll
that those who have the power 10 put him there
are generally avcrsc to being mobbed and
maulcd. And yet we suppose that this comes
as near 10 being universal truth as any o,her
conceivable proposition Hence. since truth Is
mighty and must prevail, it is duty and a
privilege 10 keep right on declaring II. In fun
assurance Of a blessed Immortality for all who
contribute TO its ultimate triumph.
We are moved 10 make these brief remarks
by the spectacle now current al the city Ian.
There sits day after day. excepting when he has
been compelled 10 withdraw himself for repairs,
a comparatively new Mayor who has been In
vested with unusual powers for the express pur-
pose Of providing the people with better article
Of municipal government than they have Gus
tomarily enjoyed. 1t f. generally conceded.
moreover, that he Is man who understands
himself and his environment uncommonly well.
and does not feel the need of having his prefer
cnces formed for him by others But, neyerihe-
less, during the hours in which h. is accessible
TO the public and which. in our opinion. though
he has shortened them are still too long. he Is
surrounded, bcsegcd. trampled on, held up and
asphyxiated by n mob Of citizens who appear
to think that The only sure way 10 convince his
judgment, win his heart and fill the public Offices
with disintercstcd patriots is 10 reduce him 10
the last gasp.
From such knowledge OF the Mayors mind
and temper as lac has permitted his fellow-citi-
zens 10 obtain We have derived the impression
that this is Il mistake. and that gentlemen who
long 10 serve the municipality would be more
likely TO get the chance II they waited for an
invitation TO visit the City Hall. The Mayor 5
occasional use OF certain resonant yocablc
suggests an indispOsiiion on his part TO be co
creed Moreover, when we stop to think Of II.
and without regard TO the matter Of patronage
there might be considerable public advantage
i'm permitting him 10 live out his term. and he
would probably value that concession even more
highly than the privilege OF making the personal
acquaintance Of Il ma jorty OF those who voted
for him. We take IL for granted that. If ncccs
sary. he would go to the stake without a whim
per. but he knows the difference between a real
and a bogus emergency.

AGAINST the mon. corporation or private
Arm, can always be held to the performance or
n contract. while labor organization Is utterly
IRRESPONSIBLE. The announcement was made IN
the debate yesterday that If the bill becomes
law the railroad employees will incorporate their
organizations so that they may be held to strict
accountability Such result. If 1t can be
brought about would be a most efficient pre-
ventive of unreasonable strikes like that OF last
July in Chicago
The fire In the Brooklyn City Hall yesterday
morning fortunately did no damage that cannot
be repaired AT a moderate cost, with the excep-
ton Of the destruction OF the bell and clock.
