BLACK IS MORE WHITE.

There is a rewriting of the verdict
that has of late been passed upon Gov.
Black of New York. In a very care
full review of the incidents that have
occurred since his inauguration, made
by a correspondent of the New York
Mail and Express, reasons are set
forth showing cOnclusIvely to the mind
of the writer at least, that Governor
Black is to the full as independent and
as free from the dominion of the Plat
ring, as he was asserted to before his
election. This news will be very ac-
ceptabIe to the Republicans of the
country of the better class, who are
opposed to all ring rule in the party,
at New York and everywhere else.
Whether it is really true or not is an
other matter, and this can only be as
certained by those who are on the
ground and have fair opportunities of
judging, until such times as the mat
ter is more openly demonstrated. 1t
was so openly and broadly asserted
that Governor Black was a man of
most independent character, at the
time his nomination was made during
the campaign, that it was a real dis
appointment to be told las the press
asserted at the time his appointments
We're being made, that he was merely
the tool of Senator Platt, the recOg-
nized boss of the Republicans of the
state. This assertion is now cOntrO-
verified upon the authority of the later
acts of the governor, and upon his re-
fusal to be controlled by PIatt's wish
es in the matter of that Greater New
York charter. From several indepen-
dent sources the information comes
that Black is the power in that state
destined to break the rule of Boss
Plat, not because he is trying to sup
plant him, but because he is the natur-
al leader of the movement for more
Independent action in state politics.
Should this prove true there is more
hope for the Republicans of the state
| than has been generally INDUCED. The
| bossism of Plat has been a most per-
nicious influence in the state, and has
prevented more Republican success
! than any Ohter one thing. Platt rep
resents to the fullest degree the spoilt
| system, as we'll as the money and the
one man power in politics. This may
do in Nevada, but it will not do il
| New York, where the strength and
wisdom and real ability of the part!
require the harmonious working of {
host of clear headed men to the same
end. If Governor Black can dethron'
this element, so cOnspiCuously ram
pant in Plattism he will have dom
work of real reformation for which
the Republicans of the state and tn
country will not refuse him the highes
honors.

the stock market give dividends. The
firm used assumed names and titles:
If the hacker of the concern is I'M

appears. 1t is only once in a great
while that he has attached his real

reasons for this fact, one being the
hope that it will be more difficult for
the law to hold him and the other that
he is usually on the postoffice depart

viously been connected with an illegal
enterprise, and the department will
not, therefore, deliver mail addressed

THE CUBAN WAR.

Gomez. the commander-in-chi Of
the Cuban armies, is called by the in
surgents the old Chinaman;" the
Spaniards call him The old Fox, and
among the Americans, as Sitting
Bull" He is not a Cuban, but was
born in San Domingo. After the ten
years war, from '6S to rs Gomez ac-
Cepted a lucrative position under the
Spanish government, but responded to
the call of the Junta and skipped out
of Spain to Paris, and then back to
Cuba to take command of the army of
liberation. He is a great soldier and
thoroughly understands the work be-
fore him. He has not had his way
entirely but will, in the future. He
is a remarkable man; at the age of ~
years, he possesses all the fire of youth
tempered by experience.
Gomez will wear the Spaniards out
and carry on a campaign of desolation
which also seems to be Weyler's plan;
between the two Cuba will be a sad
picture to look upon. Columbus
found it inhabited by half a million
naked people who lived upon the spon.
taneous growth of the Island. Spanish
greed and Spanish cruelty completely
Obliterated the native Cubans; but il
their place another race of people hav,
come to pay back the debt of ven
geance against Spain.
The war may continue for month
vet the end will be the freedom o
Cuba.
