Cuba.

The United States is bound by
an act of Congress to grant Cuba
an experiment in self. ule. We
do not believe she will ever prove
equal to a stable form of govern
ment. The population is too
heterogeneous, too much turbu-
liant dark blood that has never yet
accomplished any thing in the
worlds history but revolution.
The United States will finally
have to have it by Cession VI
conquest. AS soon as they form
a government they will be ready
to antagonize our country. 1t
was a mistake to pass the resolu-
ton of Congress. The Jeffer-
sonian idea Of the equality and
disinterested goodness and pa
triotism of mankind is an tire
descent dream. II he had
been our first presiden. with his
abolition ideas, financial views
and drifting with popular clamor,
we would never have existed as
a government. 1t took II years
of Washipgton's and Adams
ideas of a firm government to
bring order out of the chaos OF
the revolution. aided by the fin
ancial policyl Of Hamilton and
Morris, The final destiny Of
Cuba is to become part OF the
United States, we need it in our
business and our government
has wanted it for the past fifty
years or more Free and tur-
bulant Cuba might form coalition
with, or annex to some foreign
country that would garter troops
there and give us trouble.

China.

The position of our govern
ment is, in our opinion, the only
correct one forit to pursue. The
objects for which We sent troops
to China. the capture of Peking,
relief of Legations and forcing
China to terms, has been accomp-
lished. China has signified her
willingness to settle matters by
appointing a commission to con-
fer with one from the allies, and
arrange a treaty of peace. Ger
many comes in and demands the
highest officials for punishment
by the allies, before entering up
on negotiations for peace. Our
government wants guilty parties
punished, but wants it done by
China by demanding it in treaty.
China will never, nor ought she
to surrender possibly her emper-
or, for the allies to punish and
humiliste him and his country to
a criminal level, Our country
has instructed her ambassador
and commissioner to treat with
the Chinese commission, and or.
dered all our troops to the Phil
ippines except 1. 500, left as a
guard to the Legations until
peace is established. We are
glad to see it act so independent
ly and right, regardless OF con-
sequences. 1t will disconcert
the powers who are itching for
Chinese territory, and will take
some of the self-conceit out of
Germauzs e rash emperor.

1t is stated that out of 80 con.
victions in England for drunken
ness 80 were for women and only
two for men, and that of the six
reformatoay institutions for
drunkenness that exist, five are
for women, and only one for
men. In this country, Father
Stanly. of Hartford. presiding
over the Catholic Total Abste.
nence Union last week at New
Haven. thus spoke Of the in
crease of inebriation among fash
ionaole women:
Drinking is decreasing among
men. but increasing among wo-
men, and that too among women
of the wealthier classes. It is to
be regretted that women who are
leaders in society initiate the
drinking customs of English So
ciety, and that the old American
ideas of responsibility in this
matter are fast disappearing"
This is deplorable state of af.
fairs, and must probably be &C.
cepted with great degree of al,
lowance. At all events, it must
be amongst the two extremes OF
society, the very low, and the
very high, whilst the great inter-
mediate mass of women are still
free from such charges. Rail-
roads and business concerns have
become so exacting as to their
employees abstaining from drink
that they are the most potent fac
tor for total abstenence now in
existence. as regards men.
