These Cubans, or their fathers, have, for half a century, been more or less engaged in revolutionary measures to secure their independence. The money that has been spent, the property that has been destroyed and the prosperity that has been retarded, even overthrown by the promoters of these revolutionary struggles on the one hand, and by the Spanish Government on the other in resisting them, would make up an enormous aggregate- Add to this vast pouring-out of human and destruction of human life in these long continned and oft repeated revolts, and it will be seen that the cost to Spain of maintaining possession of Cuba almost beyond computation. Looking at the matter from practical and business point of view, and discarding at the moment all national pride and every sentimental consideration that would prompt Spain to refuse it.

an advantageous sale of Cuba should be desired. The latest proposition for the pur chase of the island emanates from- Cu bans themselves. It is said thai they nourish a scheme to offer $100,00000 in bonds, which are to he guaranteed by the United States. By such an arrange ment, if Spain should accept it. Cuba would become first an independent country as to Spain.

Then it would have to be received into the Union as a State. While the United States would indorse the bonds. Cuba itself would be eipected to pay them, therefore Cuba would not be a purchased territory like Louisiana, nor would it be abso lutely independent of the United States as was Texas, but it would occupy position unique and unlike that of any of the other States. On account of the heavy taxation and general mismanagement of Cuban af fairs, the island, which is one of the richest in the world in natural resources, has made in half a century but little real advance in wealth and pros perity. It has something over a million of population, of which some 200,000 are negro slaves and 50,000 Chinese coolies.

There is also a population ef some 000 free colored persons. Cuba is the chief of the cane sugar producers. It is celebrated for its tobacco and cigars. It is admirably adapted for the culture of coffee. It is a paradise for fruits, and its forests are composed of the finest cabinet woods.

If it were so condi tioned that its rich resources could be to the best advantage by an in dnstrious and enterprising people oper ating under wise and liberal institu tions, the future of this magnificent island would be assured. Its possession by the United States from every consideration of self-defense is. indispensable. That phase of the question is so obvious as to need no But we have been hearing for too many decades about acquiring Cuba to place any dependence in new schemes. Whenever the United States shall deem it necessary to have any sort of foreign policy, these stories about the purchase of Cuba may take on some color of probability, but not till then.

IS LEAGUE -WITH THE GOLD BUGS The efforts of. some politicians to eliminate the silver coinage question from the next national campaign will not succeed. The people of the West and South are greatly wrought up over the silver issue and are largely in favor of free coinage. Free ooinage is one of the demands of the farmers' organiza tion and it is bound to be one of the great questions of the campaign. Some days ago.

United States Senator John W. Daniel, of Virginia, addressed to a citizen of that State a letter giving his views strongly in 'favor of free coinage. After expressing at length his reasons silver should be put upon its merits as a basis for money, he made a vigorous and severe arraignment of the General Government, which has so long been in league with the gold bugs. He said First of all we need an administration In favor of the people and their money instead of one such as we hare now and nave had continuously, doing the will of the gold monopolists and falsely erying ont that sllrer will not circulate, we hare eeassd entirely to cola raid dollars. SUver la the onlv metal money that does freely circulate, and were the Secretary of the Treasury to pay It out freely to the bondholders they would cease to deary It.

The Government Is Itself the leader of the cold ring, and Its organising spirit. It lends out its money, extorted by needless taxation, without Interest to certain favored national banks, while they are engaged in a war upon the credit of Its own silver money. It makes pets of the classes who have eonsplred and banded together-to break down Us double standard, to squeeze the people and to clog the "world's prosperity." It furnishes models in its statutes and its practices for sub-treasury schemes. It is in collusion with its own plunderers, and if the masses can get power la representatives that will unflinchingly stand by them, freely coin their money and freelr circulate it to all allkn. they will conquer the vast monopoly that is overshadowing and crushing them.

If, the Democratic party will push vigorously for the free coinage of silver it will do much to disarm and weaken the third party movement, but if the Democracy shall fail to rally the people on this issue, which they take so much to heart, then the Democrats will have something serious to regret, and a grievous error to repent of. THE EEYOLT IN GUATEMALA. Quite exciting news comes to ns from Guatemala to the effect that a serious revolution has broken ont in that Be- public, and that although the. outbreak has been suppressed for the time being, after the sacrifice of 500 lives, there is reason to expect that the discontent will soon spread to all parts of the country and become irresistible. According to the dispatches received, it took three days of hard fighting to restore a semblance of order, and there martial law has been instituted.

Barrillos ha vino- declared himself dictator, Revolution has been threatened for some time in Guatemala, hence the re volt occasioned no surprise in any quarter. The tyrannous acts of Presi dent Barrillos and the wholesale plundering of the publio treasury which has been going on are said to be responsible fortthe popular uprising. It appears that the President's term was drawing towards its close, but that being unwilling to relinquish power, Ba-rillos contemplated declaring himself dictator, thus retaining the control of the Government in his 'own hands for an indefinite period. These arbitrary acts of the President have worked up a very strong sentiment against, his Government, and on the occasion of the celebration of the the national holiday the smonlderino- disoontent ripened into open rebellion. dstauos, having the army, nromntlv attacked the revolutionists, killing many of them and finally succeeded in dispersing the mob.

A significant feature of the revolt appears to hare feaen its popular character. "It does not -appear to have been led by scheming politicians, bat waa a spontaneous outburst oz ine masses, drawn together on the occasion of the? celebration of tho nationa holiday. 'and was precipitated by the attempt of Barrillos to appoint the speakers. It was also made very clear that the outbreak was against the course of the President, who, through the indulgence of his ambitious designs and reckless expenditures of public money, has made himself thoroughly obnoxious to the people of Guatemala. The condition of affairs in Central America Is very threatening.

While Guatemala is in a state of revolt, Salvador is apparently massing troops on the frontier of the country preparatory to a fresh invasion of the territory of Guatemala. Honduras is almost in as unsettled a state as Salvador, so that the outlook for a general Central American outbreak is promising From the character of the revolt in Guatemala it is apparent that the masses have become tired of despotic Government and are determined to cast aside Barrillos with the hope of secur ins as Chief Executive a man who wonld devote all his energies to build in up the material resources of the State, and not to furthering his own individual interests. There is apparently a decided growth of republican feeling in the different Latin-American bodes no good to the would-be dictators AN UNPLEASANT TILT WITH CHILI. The dispatches of the past few days have reported the sudden development of a disagreeable episode tending to mar the cordiality of the relations of this country with tho new Government in Chili. The details' of the reported trouble are very meager, as little definite news has been received from the Chilian capital, and the officials at Washington are naturally very guard ed in their treatment of the matter.

It appears, however, that Minister Egan has had some trouble with the new Government. It seems that the Junta has endeavored to force Minister Egan to deliver up the political refugees who had taken refuge in the embassy buildings, and caused the locality to be surrounded by police to prevent free communication with the outside by the Legation in the hope of capturing some of the refugees. Several Americans have actually been arrested and thrown into prison. It is' understood that Minister Egan. acting under instruc tions from the Government at Wash ington, has strongly complained of the treatment received and has refused to give up the refugees.

It must be remembered tnat Minister Egan has been accused in Chili of having shown more than needful interest in the faction of the late Dictator Bal-maceda, and as a consequence has never been popular with the victorious Junta, but in that respect he but shared the sentiments entertained towards the country he represents, as ever since the Itata episode the feeling has been very bitter against the United States. The affair has occasioned some un easiness at asmngton, aithougn no actual trouble, as it is believed that the Provisional Government will promptly yield when it discovers that this country is prepared to take vig orous steps to assert its rights, and to assure the proper consideration for its representatives at the Chilian capital. As nsnal when anything serious oc curs, we are but inadequately provided with naval strength in Chilian waters. Immediately after the closing battles of the civil war the San Francisco was ordered home, so that at the present time we have only the ship Baltimore at the scene of action. Although the Baltimore is one of the new vessels.

and she is an excellent ship, she would be totally insufficient in case of trouble to do mnch single-handed. It is said that if necessary the squad ron ox evolution coma oe sent to Chilian waters, thus concentrating there seven of the new ships, which would be ample, force to cope with the Chilian navy: It must be remem bered, however, that it takes a long time for ships in the Atiantio to reach Chili. The Government should never have permitted the withdrawal of any portion of the force in Chilian waters until the pacification of the country was complete. The presence of onlv one American man-of-war at Valparaiso is certainly not sufficient to afford our Minister proper protection, hence it is probable that the whole matter will have to be settled diplomatically if settled at alL FENCING OUT MOEAL INFECTION. Councilman Claiborne's ordinance.

which is intended to drive ont of certain precincts of the city establish ments of evil repute, is well intended. and, if it can be' executea, should receive the support of all good citizens. There are landlords so desirous of making money that they care not for what depraved and unlawful pur poses their nouses are used, provided only the rental be forthcoming. Such house owners cause the infection of respectable neighborhoods, and work serious damage to adjacent property which had previously been occupied by respectable people. In such cases the rapacious and unscrupulous house owner ought to suffer.

We do not desire to see any violent and oppressive measures taken against wretched and unfortunate class. who. perhaps, are much to be pitied and not wholly to bo blamed. But they should be excluded from respectable quarters of the city, and there should be a sufficient law to effect such an object. The Sensitive 1 The majesty of Germany la hot to be tri fled with.

Von read ex tracts from the poet's writings, taking care. however, to declare that he did not agree with his theories. But this precaution.

JHe 'was tried and sentenced- totwo months' imprisonment In a fortress, and i at present serving out his time of confinement.

Dixon and Dr. ZulU. are said to have at last suc ceeded in isolating the salts, or active prin ciple, of Dr, Koch's famous lymph, known as tuberculin. The salt which they secured seemed to have all the properties bf the well known member of the amide group known as creatin, and It occurred to them to see whether creatin would have have the same effect on tuberculous subjects as the lymph. A number of experiments were tried on smaller animals and on cows, with the most gratifying results.

Creatin produced precisely the same pathological reac tion as the lymph, and they are convinced that the active principle in the lymph Is nothing else than creatin. They Object to Steamboats. A European from Iohang, the scene of the worst of the recent Chinese trouble. puts an entlrelyidiflerent face on the aspect of matters there.

Baasington. Chattanooga, Tenn. Catholic Sympathy for the Jews. Letter From the Bishop of Dallas. The following ia from advance nroof slips of correspondence to appear in the next Issue of the Hebrew Staudard of New York: New York.

Sept. 11. Bt. Rev. Thomas Brennan.

Dallas. Bight Reverend Sir The persecution of the Jews ia Bussia haa reached such a magnltade as to arouse attention of everv friend of humanity, The dignitaries of the church have al ready spoken In language not to be misunderstood, expressing their abborrance of these cruel outrages and condemning race hatred as unchristian and in utter contradiction to the teachings of the faith. I need not refer to the utterances or their eminences. Cardinals Gibbons and Manning, the late archbishop of Vienna and other dignitaries of the Bo man Catholio church. I would be grateful to you for a word ex pressing your sentiments for publication in the columns of the Hebrew Standard.

Very respeeuuiiy. J. t. bolomox, tutor. Dallas, Sept.

18. My Dear Sir I beg leave to acknowledge receipt of vour communication of the llth and feel hon ored to be invited to raise my feeble voice in accentuation of the denunciations of cruel repression and crylug inhumanity toward the Hebrew population or Russia. pronounced by statesmen so eminent and ennrenmen so illustrious, isy ancenstry, citizenship and principle. I am a resolute foe of radical and religious persecution. The course of.

the Russian government to whloh you draw attention la at once inex plicable and Indefensible. No government. not even an autooraoy. ean nowadays, at any rate, set a aenanoa tne puono opinion of the civilized world. If Russia were not the colossal power ft Is, a European congress had been convoked to check Its mad and ruthless career of blood and brutality.

Bat Russia la mighty, her alliance ooveted and her armed prowess feared. Henoe are the powers and ratlneta of Europe silent in the presenoe of injustice crying to all humanity for speedy and radical termination and effacement. But. sir. I do hope that numerically weak, and otnerwise powerless, aa may De tne He-brewa of Russia, their voice supported, sustained and swollen by the voices of an Indignant extra Russian world will penetrate the mailed walla of the czar's secret ojuncils and lead hia advisers to pause and relent in the execution of their bloodthirsty policy.

In conveying to the Hebrew (standard the ex pression of my heartfelt sympathy with the wrongea, oppressea ana undone Hebrews of Russia aa well as those suffering in exile, aa those under the rod and the laah of the tyrant, I am proud, sir, that I follow the noble traditions of the church to which I belong. During the middle agea and at all times tne popes ana Disnops or the Cathouo church were and havebeen the defenders and protectors of your long tried and often obviously wronged countrymen. To me nothing seems so appallingly un just as tne condemnation oi a wnole race for the faults or even Crimea of a few. But if the 'test of universal freedom from offence be applied to anv race, which one can cast the first the Jewish na tion i i must confess myself, to a deep, a warm uu aoiiung ainair ieiing lor your people, whose checkered career is ao clearly bound up with all that la great and noble ana redeeming in the history of this troub lous and troubled, world of ours. Yeur history, sir, calls vividly to mind the patri arch, Abraham, founder of the Hebrew raoe, the law-giver Moses, the holy Judge eamuei.

In the civic and commercial progress of the metropolis of Texas, a recipient myself at the hands of mv Jewish fel- low-oidzens of so many of the civilities. courtesies and amenities of life, whloh make of America a land of such happy homes and generates gooa neignoornooas, 1 cannot but feel warmly when asked to exnresa an onin- lon on the subject which you bring to no- tioa. xso mo ainmy tne ravor or registering me an nnoompromlsing antagonist of the persecution or tne Hebrew people of Russia, and a hearty co-operator In any and every expression anu movement or sympathy in their regard. The cry of a persecuted neo- ple cannot fall In vain upon a free American's ever aympathetie and humane ear toooh without response the noble and mag na nuno us aeart oi its people to whose fathers oppression waa no stras ger.
