CIHtN LIE AGI ~.

In 1870. during the Cuban troubles that
commenced in 1865, public sentiment in
this country in behalf Of the struggling
patriots resulted in the formation in
New York of a Cuban league. the object
of which was 10 use its influence in Sc
curing belligerent Fights to Cuba. In the
league were some Of the most prominent
New York citizens Of that day. a mass
meeting was held in Cooper Institute;
stirring addresses were made, and great
enthusiasm was aroused. The league
issued an address. prepared by Ethan
Allen. to the people Of the United States,
and did not stay its efforts I'm the cause
in which T. embarked until the trololes
on the island were ended by SPANS
promising the reforms the patriots de-
manded.
1t is now learned that some of the men
who were active in the league of 1870
have determined to reorganize 1t. and
that. after the reorganization, mass
meetings Of the Cuban sympa-
thizers viii be called. to be held at va
rious points in the United States. It is
the hope of the league TO influence Presi-
dent Cleveland to do what the league
Of 1870 could not get President Grant to
do. and that is recommend 10 Congress
national recognition Of the patriots.
The Chicago Times-Herald recently pub
lshed a biography and portrait Of ex-
Governor Francis II. Pierpont, who now
resides at Fairmount, w. Va. Mr.. Pier
pont came to Richmond from Alexan-
dria after the evacuation Of Richmond
by the Confederate troops and entered
into possession Of the Executive Man
sion here as our loyal Governor. He
proved TO be rather an amiable man, and
did us many good turns. For one thing,
he interposed to save from the wrath OF
some superserviceable court officials In
West Virginia several gallant Virginia
! cavalrymen. who had in the course OF
their duty made raids into West Virginia,
and for which they were most unjustly in
dicted by loyal grand jury. But loyal as
Governor Pierpont was, he was ousted
/ by the reconstruction acts of Congress
/ since which time he has been living in
West Virginia. He has now reached the
ripe old age Of 81 years, and is said &c
be almost as bright and aggressive as
! ever.

will be left undone. The silver men will
meet often and caucus over the develop
ments Of the situation. They will act
practically as a unit. It will be peculiar
if there is any divergence Of roads for
the various silver elements now. They
are bound by compact which they can
not part. They may differ on the issue
of the tariff, but it is believed that this
difference will not be great. The South
ern men are going to give their Western
brethren a great deal OF what they want
in the way of protection to Western In
terests and industries. They will not
fall out over these things. So the OPP
posing side will stand solidly together,
and the contest will wage fierce and hot
for four years.
These shrewd plays will be made on
each side for even the most Insignificant
things. The main stake will be the Presi-
dency in 1900, but there will be plenty
Of side plays having for their object the
election of United States Senators in

election Of members Of the House at the

The man who sits contentedly down and
says silver is done for has not looked into
anything. He puts light estimate upon
the men in the Senate who have vowed to
support silver to the last ditch. This is q
phase of the situation to which little
study has been given. The prospects are
fair that the sound money men will con-
troll the Senate after March next, but
their majority will not be large, IL it
should be majority at ALL The minority
is made up of strong, able men-legisla-
tors who have as much experience as
those on the other side. Teller, Morgan
and Vest it is cited, are matches for the
brightest men on the other side. The
political student sees that these men are
not going to fold their hands in the SEN
ate. 1T is certain that from the begin
ming of the first or extra session of the
next Congress these men, backed by a
solid following. will begin the struggle
Of their lives for mastery in politics. The
greatest game of politics ever played in
the Senate of the United States is on.
Every move to be made, and which must

PREPARING FOR LOANS.
Finance Committee to Further Cut
ApprOpriationS.

The finance committee met last night to
consider the appropriation ordinance intro
duced at the Council meeting Monday
night Controller Johnson was there with
his pruning knife sharpened in order to
further reduce the appropriations recon-
mended by the different departments. The
members of the committee present were
Chairman Wolcott, Messrs. Dewar, kirk
hoff Clark, Ohleyer and Cooper. Mr.. Allen
was absent. At the meeting of the Coun-
Gil Monday night Mr.. Cooper urged the
Council to refer the report of the controller
back, with instructions to increase the APP
preparations to the amounts asked by the
different boards and last night he protested
against further reductions. He was partic
ularly strenuous in his objections to the
proposition to cut down the estimate of
$50, 900 for cleaning improved streets to $685.
900, declaring that the Board of Public
Works ought to be given sufficient money
for that purpose. He also referred to the
fact that if the board found the streets
could be cleaned for less than $4,000 it
need not expend any more than was neces-
sary and the balance would revert back to
the city. He declared that he thought it
unwise to make insufficient appropriations
and then leave the city under the necessity
of making temporary loans during the COM
ing year. He said that it is only matter
of time until it viii be necessary to make
an increase in the tax levy and that he
thought it wiser to pursue that course now
than to hamper the city boards and then
be compelled to go in debt and pay interest
on borrowed money in the long run, Mr..
Coopers protests were not needed and aft
er Directing for an hour and a half to re-
auctions he left the meeting.
Even his departure did not restore har-
mony, the Democrats were quarreling
among themselves. AS the meeting was a
star chamber session and reporters were
requested to retire, just what further re-
auctions will be recommended is not
known. During a lull in the storm Mr.
Wolcott came from the room and an
nounced that the meeting would not get
through the entire ordinance last night as
it was necessary to get figures from some
parties. Another meeting will be held
he said. so that the committee may be pre-
pared to report at the regular meeting of
the Council Monday night
In the report of the Board of Public
Works, submitted ID the Mayor Jan. l.
1896, it was stated that the total cost of
cleaning improved streets during the pres
ent year would exceed the amount ex-
pended in 1S95-$69, 629. 76--as several miles of
new streets had been made in 1895. More
new streets have been added this year But
in face of this fact the administration
seems determined to reduce the amount APP
propriated for cleaning STREETS in 1897 to
about one-half what was actually expended
in 1885,
