WHEN THE federal prisoners at An
Jacksonville were being decimated by
lack of proper food and medicine, the
"humanitarians" of the North wouldn't
supply them With those necessaries, and
wouldn't allow the people of other
countries to do SO; indeed the federal
government positively refused even to
exchange them, so that they might, un-
der better conditions, have chance to
regain their strength and health. The
prisoners referred to were white men,
native or adopted citizens of the United
States. The men for whose sake the
H'humanitarians" would now make war
upon friendly nation, are foreigners,
large portion whom are negroes, who
wouldn't know what to do with Cuba
if the control of the government of that
island were entrusted to them.

THIS COUNTRY has certainly, so far at
least, gained no credit abroad, if at
home, from the Cuban imbroglio. Why
Spain was asked to allow the sunken
ship Maine in the harbor of Havana to
be destroyed with dynamite, except
that q further examination of the wreck,
possibly by commission appointed by
neutral nations, is what few unprejL-
diced and disinterested men can tell.

The MAINE commission reports tina

The MAINE commission reports that
the disaster to that unfortunate ship
was the result of powerful submarine
niue, but finds it impossible to place
the responsibility. And yet on such a
report, made by officers of the D. S.
navy, who naturally wish to remove all
blame from their fellow officers on that
ship, the jiugoes and filibusters would
plunge the country into war with Spain.

Row AMONG NEGRoEs.-For more
than year there hos been consider

of the colored people of Manassas and
about the same number at Brents
Vile. 1t eliminated last Saturday
night in quite a fraoas. The Manassas
crowd were invited to Brentsville, but
before they would accept the invitation
they wanted assurance that they would
be accorded proper treatment. Shortly
after they arrived whisky was circulat-
ed by way Of trests. end it soon began
to color the treatment the Manassas
negroes we're to receive. Pretty quickly
all was in C ferment. A pistol : 10
fired and man cried out II am shot.

THOUGH this country has been put
on war footing, its feet assembled at
Key West. and some of its naval ves-
sells sent to Havana, the fact that 8
Spanish flotilla is on its way from one
group of Spanish islands to another, is
said by the iingoes and filibusters to be
hostile demonstration and threat to
destroy American ships. There is none
so blind as those who will not see, but
such blindness SIS that referred to is e
pathognomonic sign of both mental
and moral strabismus.

Governor Bradley, of Kentucky, to al

slaves" though nothing is better known
than the fact that Mr.. Lincoln would
have allowed the slaves to be slaves
stih, if the South had agreed to come
back into the Union. But to Northern
republicans the cruel war will never be
over, and what Mr.. John Wise said
about Southern republicans is as true

WIEN A great misfortune had befal-

a dispensation of providence, Senator
Ransom, of North Carolina, introduced
a resolution making small appropria-
ton to supply their immediate neces-
sites, but, upon consultation with other
of the old time Senators. withdrew it,
for the reason that the Constitution
warranted appropriations for no such
purposes. But no such objection is now
made to the proposed appropriation Of
half million of dollars to supply the
necessities of people OF foreign coun'
try, and that, too, though such neces'
stiles are the legitimate result of theil
