THE SLAUGHTER OF AMERICANS
IN CUBA.
That tho Fpnniarda who are attempting to
Bubdao tho Cuban insurrection aro not nion
trlio are capoblo of appreciating or under
Standing magnanimity and impartial justico
Is certain. They belong to the very worst
tlasHCH of Spain, and they regard Cuba as a
tich prize that belongs to them for purposes
Of plundor. It has ever been the theory since
Cobunbufl discovered America, that tho Now
World was valuable not as an empire, but as a
mine from which the mother country could
draw wealth. The colonists who settled per
manently in tho Spanish provinces ere long
fjrore considered on much the name footing
ftfl tho aboriginal inhabitants: they were al
lowed no voice or vote iu tho management
Df their affairs, and they were ground under
loot by rapacious oflicials, whoso only idea
XT&n to fill their own pockets at all hazards.
It is thin unscrupulous and irresponsible class
(hat make up tho volunteer forces who prac
tically control tho Spanish fortunes in Cuba
at this moment. Those men, cruel as they
lire rapacious, having once tasted blood, are
like tigers, who will not be satisfied unless
their murderous propensities are pandered to.
Their desire for slaughter is only second to
their love of gain, and when they can vent
Ihoir cruelty on no one else, they turn on their
Own loaders as fiercely as they do on their
natural enemies. Those men are totally
imablo to understand tho neutral position of
tho United States Government; and tho lack
Of a sufficient naval force in the Cuban waters
to protect our interests, with the detention of
the various expeditions fitted out at our
porta in aid of the patriots, have been con
strued as indications of favor on our part to
wards tho Spanish party, and it has doubtless
enoouraged them to perpetuate outrages that
they otherwise, would not have dared to at
tempt. It is d satisfaction to know that we have
JlOW a sufficiently imposing naval forco,
bndor a judicious commander, who will
floubtless make the name of the United States
tespocted by tho Spanish authorities. On tho
13th instant Admiral lloll had an interview
With the Governor at Santiago de Cuba in re
ference to the execution of certain American
Citizens. Three men were shot by the Spa
nish authorities without the pretense of a
trial, and some of them it is known were not
on the island with any hostile intentions. In
leply to the Admiral's demands for an expla
nation, the Governor gave as an excuse that
lie was unable to resist the clamors of the
Volunteers for blood, but promised that in
future prisoners should be tried. It is
Raid, however, that as soon as the squad
ron had left the place, orders wore
issued not to bring in any prisoners, but to
kill them on the spot. It is certainly tho duty
of our Government, for the present; at least,
to preserve a strict neutrality: and American
citizens who join filibustering parties will
Lave to run all the risks. At tho same time,
we have a right to demand that our citizens
lit least shall be proved guilty before a projier
tribunal before tho Spaniards are allowed to
tvxeak thoir vengeance on them. The town of
Santiago de Cuba was thrown into a paroxysm
of fright by the advent of tho American
squadron, and a little wholesome terror of
American power will have much effect in mak
ing the Spaniards carry on warfare in a civilized
manner. At tho same time it is necessary for
them o know that we are in earnest, and
that the continuance of American neutrality
Will, in a very groat measure, depend upon
their own behavior. The statement of the
Governor is a confession of his inability to
control his subordinates, and an acknowledg
ment that the real representatives of Spanish
authority in Cuba are irresponsible bands of
ruffians, who recognize no law but their own
torutal instincts. On this account Admiral
Hoff ought to be allowed a large discretion
in the discharge of his duties, so that he may
act promptly when there shall bo occasion for
liim to interfere between the Spaniards and
their victims.
JOHN CHINAMAN.
The importance of a knowledge of tho charao
teristiea of John Chinaman increases with the
probabilities of his emigration into every
portion of the country. That he possesses
Home qualities which, under proper regula
tions, will prove eminently useful, cannot bo
doubted; but, like tho rest of mankind, vices
ftnd weaknesses are strangely intermingled
with his virtues, and we can scarcely expect
to secure the services of an embodiment of
human perfection for the small sum of twelve
dollars a month. As domestic servants they
have given great satisfaction on the Pacific
Coast, They appear to possess what has prac
tically become a lost art among the ser
vants on tho Atlantic seaboard, the capacity
Of obeying instructions literally and faithfully,
and of doing exactly what they are told to do
exactly in tho manner proscribed by tho lady
of the household. After a Chinaman is told
to scrub a floor, wash dishes, or make a bed
in a particular way, he gladdens the heart of
tidy housekoepor by his unvarying adhe
. rence to his instructions. Some of tho Cali
fornia matrons find it difficult to overcome
the repugnance to their employment as oooks
which is inspired by the reports of a Chinese
fancy for peculiar diet which from time to
time have been disseminated in this country;
and it must be confessed that the prospect of
having rats, mice, or bird's nests served up as
if"TUSCd daintica ia Lyno wean agreeable
fastidious American, to JUsa ta
the Chinese it should be Bald, how
ever, that, where this prejudice has
boon overcome, they hate astonished and
delighted their employers by thoir skill and
economy in preparing palatable and wholo
some food. Nor is this rosult surprising
when wo remember that cookery is almost
esteemed as a science in China, and that a
careful writer on that cotintry expressos, as
the result of his observations, tho opinion
that they occupy in cookery a position above
the English and only below tho Fronch.
They cat many strange articles, but they are
guiltless of wasteful extravagance and the
destruction of the better qualities of good
food which is constantly occurring in nearly
all American kitchens. Tho Chinese aro
almost universally addicted to tho uso of
opium, but this serves as an effectivo substi
tute for tobacco and ardent spirits; and while
they no doubt shorten their lives by tho uso
of their favorite stimulant, they do not suffer
their love for it to interfere in any way with
their daily labors.
As tho Chinaman appears fully competent
to furnish a good day's work for small wages,
it is not surprising that ho lias rapidly grown
in favor among tho employers of tho l'acific
coast, and that he is gradually working his
way Eastward in spite of the antagonism
of those whose whole grand aim is to
secure high wages for a small amount
of negligent work. The nation will
be disposed to welcome and protect
those who can help to develop its resources.
It is reported, however, that tho natural cun
ning and greed of the Chinaman crop out
fearfully when he becomes an office-holder in
his native land, and that ho manages by fraud
and extortion to plunder the natives in a
manner that would even astonish the Row
officers of Philadelphia or the operators of
the whisky ring. A strict embargo should be
established against Chinamen of this descrip
tion. Wo may need lessons in cookery, in
dustry, or economy, but angels and ministers
of grace defend us against the introduction of
any new tricks of plundering officials !
THE HOW OFFICES.
Tim exorbitant fees of the How officers is one
of the most powerful incentives to corruption,
violence, and rascality in the partisan con
ventions of this city. When we considor tho
nature of the power exercised by tho delegates
who are selected to nominate candidates for
Sheriff, Recorder of Deeds, City Treasurer,
Register of Wills, etc., we need not be at all
astonished at the disgraceful character of thoir
proceedings. The men who seek these offices
are frequently, if not generally, of a low grade
of intellect and capacity, who openly aim at
plundering their fellow-citizens, not merely
by obtaining tho legal fees, which far exceed
a just compensation for the service rendered,
but by fraudulent extortion. Tho delegates
to the City or County Conventions practically
decide who shall exercise this privilege; and
as no special capacity except greed and un
scrupulouMioss is required, their choice is un
restricted, and their decision is usually dic
tated by base and degrading influences.
Eargidn and corruption, bribery and favori
tism, fraud and force, are the main agents em
ployed, under the direction and manipulation
of the insidious "rings" which rule tho city.
These rings are in themselves evils of no small
magnitude, for tho active and energetic
spirits they cement together by tho cohesive
power of public plunder exert a most de
grading influence over every ramification of
municipal government.
Moderate salaries should be substituted for
the prevailing fees and percentages; and if
this change was effected, tho offices would bo
filled by better men, who would do better
work at less cost to the public. The custom
of pouring fortunes into the pockets of the
scheming politicians who acquire these posi
tions is not only unjust and oppressive, but it
demoralizes the whole domain of local politics
by stimulating into activity and prominonce
the worst elements of society. In tho depart
ments at Washington, men who receive a
salary of three or four thousand dollars per
annum faithfully discharge duties which are
infinitely more important and intricate than
those which our How officials charge from
twenty to forty or fifty thousand dollars for
neglecting; and the Treasurer and Assistant
Treasurers of the United Stutes receive, pay
out, and faithfully account for hundreds of
millions of dollars without receiving a tithe
of the compensation awarded to City Trea
surers. Ono of the most essential prelimi
naries to a successful reform movement is to
bo found in the direction wo have indicated.
While we continue to throw the shield of law
over the present system of extravagant com
pensation for one species of publio service,
the rings will always endeavor to secure not
only these lawful prizes, but to invent other
methods for enriching their favorites at tho
expense of the public.
MORE WAX.
Si.oaxakf.ti, the celebrated wax-works man,
has written another epistle. The Count Von
Bismark, to whom ho addressed his last, has,
wo regret to say, not yet found time to indite
a suitable reply. For this reason the "Judgo"
found it necessary to address himsolf to some
one else, and he pitched upon tho Connate,
sioner of Internal Revenue, propounding to
him certain queries in his capacity as "At
torney of the Southwestern Distillery Associa
tion." This "Southwestern Distillery Assn.
ciation" appears to be a gigantic concern, in
proof of which it controls not loss than forty
different distilleries, and, what is still morotr.
the point, rejoices in the possession of the
"Judge as its attorney. Poonle who know
the "JudKo" as well as ho is known in this
latitude will bo inclined to sympathize with
tho "Southwestern Distillery Association,
upon which has fallen a greater burden of
ailliction, in tho shape of the "Judge," than
is generally meted out to the manufacturers
of the ardent, even in tuis tneir day of sor
afflictions. In this connection, we should like
to know if the patent butter machine in which

RATIONAL ADVICE.
Titk President, it ia reported, devotes tho lire
long day at Long Branch to a perusal of the
New York pnpors. This fact, if fact it bo, is
highly important. It shows that Long Branch
is about tho dullest place for a summer resort
that is to be found on the Atlantic coast. Why
can't the Branchors got up a military excite
ment of some sort, as was done at Capo May?
Now that the war is over, nothing appoars to
afford his Excellency more intense and proper
enjoyment than witnessing the evolutions of
militiamen. "Tho troops" invariably "receive
thoir old commander with cheers," which is as
creditable to "tho troops" as it is gratifying to
the "old commander." It is true that wo
have seen quite enough of war, and are dead
in earnest when wo cry "Let us have poace !'
But these frisky militiamen, albeit so enthu
siastic in tho presence of "their old com
mander," are tho most peaceable fellows in
tho world. Thoir slumbers are not even
disturbed by visions of wor; and the idea of
fighting is as far removed from thoir waking
thoughts as it is foreign to tho wishes of tho
whole country just at present. If New York
had sent her famous "Seventh" down to the
Branch, instead of up into tho country, Presi
dent Grant would have been afforded a far
more rational amusement than that of devot
ing tho dog-days to a perusal of tho New York
papers. But if tho people at the Branch aro
bent and determined upon boriug tho Presi
dent to death in this fashion, wo would adviso
him to forsake that locality, and betake him
self to Atlantic City. Our Fire Zouaves will
be down there in a few days, and ho will find
these "troops" quite as ready to "receive their
old commander with cheers" as as were tho
Grey lleservcs when iu camp at the (Jape.
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A REVOLU
TION. It appears that the leaven of tho revolution
which overturned the Spanish Bourbons has
not as yet ponetratod tho Western extremity
of the Iberian peninsula. It is stated that a
Scotchman doing business iu Oporto has been
sentenced to six years' banishment from Por
tugal by the Government of that country, for
tho simple offense of proclaiming Protestant
doctrines to the members of his own house
hold. This manifestation of bigotry is en
tirely opposed to the spirit of the ago. In
every other section of Europe, except Home
itself, the intolerant spirit of the middle ages
has been replaced by comparative freedom of
conscience. Bismark and Von Beust togother
have regenerated Austria, and Serrano and
Castelar have regenerated Spain, whereby the
two great strongholds of bigotry have been
entirely overthrown. Dom Luis, the present
ruler of Portugal, has the reputation of being
an enlightened and liberal-minded monarch,
but if such iniquities as that just referred to
can be perpetrated, even with his tacit con
sent, he enjoys a reputation quite the re verso
of what ho deserves. A golden opportunity
is now afforded him to make his mark in his
tory. If he should refuse or neglect to em
brace the opportunity, the old story of tho
Bourbon downfall may have a counterpart
close at hand before the lapse of many years.
The PoETitY of Official Life. The New
York Hcralil has unearthed a poet in the Cus
tom House of that city who wishes to resign
his position because of conscientious political
scruples. Barniun should secure this man
and re-enter the show business without delay.
Joyce Heth, the Mermaid, the Woolly Horse,
the What-is-it ? and the bogus Gorilla wore
comparatively tame as curiosities by the side
of this conscientious politician. If Collector
Grinnell should not prove so hard-hearted as
to refuse to accept his resignation, we should
be pleased to have him pass a few weeks in
this city immediately after his conscientious
scruples are satisfied. We should bo do
lighted with the opportunity to introduce
him to Messrs. Stokes, Adairo, Davis, Bunn,
Cloud, and Hong, who aro utterly deficient in
his most remarkable quality that of consci
entious scruples against the holding of office
but whose cases might not be entirely hope
less if they were permitted to view with thair
own eyes the poetical marvel of the New
York Custom House.
"Lf.t us Have Peace!" A very affecting
story is going tho rounds of tho press con
cerning the manner in which Millard Fillmore
and Thurlow Weed were recently reconciled
to each other, after having been at logger
heads for ever so many years. We aro glad
to see that these two venerable persons
fully realize the injunctions of Scripture, but
why should the publio be troubled with an
account of their peacemaking ? It is of about
as much importance to the world at largo,
and especially to the world of politics, as the
friendly embrace of a couple of well-preserved
fossils of the Carboniferous period, after an
earnest but unsuccessful effort at swallowing
each other.
Waoneh, the musician of tho future, should
be looked after. The people of the present
ago are quite incapable of withstanding tho
torture of a style of harmony which belongs
to the forty-fourth century. A celebrated
German tenor, it is said, was driven to com
mit suicide by participating in the rehearsals
of a fantastical operatio effusion by Wagner,
entitled TrMn and Isolde, and now conies a
report from Munich that a famous pianist has
been driven to madness by the same intoler
able affair. If the suppression of Wagner is
at all possible, it ought to be effected at all
hazards.
TIIK CITY DEMOCRACY.
On Saturday tho card of Mr. Joseph N. Peirsol ap
peared in Thk Evening Telegraph. It Is a docu
merit full of pluin talking, aud reveals some curious
manipulations of tlio tauer wires so sacredly con
ceded froai tho eyes of the profane multitude, and
bo adroitly pulled by tho managers when an unanN

points of interest to the meek publio. It matters but
little to us as Republicans whether these conflicting
elements are reconciled or not, as our standard
bearer, Mr. Joseph if. Murcer will unquestionably be
I'lM'.tl'd llOVt full tr. .1.- l.. In nnntaat WS DTeSeilt
.4i w 111 U U II I V G iu .
the subject as a trustworthy indication Of the disor
ganized condition of tho Democracy In this city, and
m a lair sample of tha luuvliublo Uiaiulu juU?A it li
jipejieacifg Uuouguout uie country.
Two days after the City Democratic Convention
adjourned, Mr. Peirsol, who was not declared nomi
nated for City Treasurer, addressed a note to Mr. S.
Gross Fry, who wag declared nominated, politely re
minding him of the faots that tho convention was
organized In violation of the rules, and that violence
and fraud pervaded Its entire session. He asked for
nothing but an honestly-conducted convention, and
appealed to the nominee for a redress of these out
rages by a reassembling ot the convention.
Mr. Fry, two days afterwards, found leisure to
cscupe from his onerous ami responsible dmica ns
President or the 8pnico and Plnn Streets Hallway
Company, to reply with the requisite air of Indigna
tion. He disclaimed all knowledge of the facts al
leged, and declined to wasto the time of the dele
gates simply to gratify the whims and caprices of
aspirants for public favor.
In answer to this laudable push of rhetoric, Mr.
Peirsol publishes six allldavits of delegates to tho
City Convention, with detailed specifications of the
points in complaint. Daniel F. Kelly, delegate
from the Fourth division of the Twenty-first
ward, swears that on the ballot lor
City Treasurer a young man voted for Mr. Fry
upon the calling of the names of himself, his
brother, from the Seventh division of the Eighteenth
ward, and Iiobort lllckey, from the Seventh divi
sion of the Twenty-eighth Ward. And he further
declares that, although Enoch W. ('. (ireenc. Presi
dent, and John Robbing, Jr., Secretary, personally
knew him, they refused his vote on the plea that It
had been recorded. (Jeorgo Stahl, delegate from
the Third division of the Thirteenth ward, swears
the convention was not conducted fairly; that
it was unsafe to vote as one chose;
that the names of hlmseir and Oeorge W. Suhrlver,
from the First division of the Thirteenth ward, were
voted upon by others for Fry ; that while the Peirsol
delegates wero consulting in the rear of the room,
the Fry delegates voted upon their names; that the
convention was conducted by a mob ol outsiders,
and was unfair from beginning to end. John
McSheeley, delegate from the Ninth division of the
Second ward, swears he saw men on one ballot vote
live or six times for Fry, many of whom were not
delegates; that he never witnessed such
a corrupt convention; that the Peirsol
delegates were ill-treated and their votes
otten disregarded; and that he believes Peirsol
wo. ild have been nominated on a fair ballot. James
S. Watson, delegate from the Sixth division of the
Twentieth ward, swears that It was a common
occurrence for men to vote on names not their own,
and that his name was thus responded to although
bo was within ten feet of tho tellers.
(leorge V. Schriver. delegate from the First divi
vislon of the Thirteenth ward, swears that men who
were not delegates voted six or seven times for Fry,
one of them upon his own name; that tho conven
tion was unfair from the beginning; and that had it
been conducted fairly Peirsol would have been
nominated. F. II. Deal, delegate from the Seventh
precinct of the Twenty-third ward, swears that his
name was noted upon for Fry, and that he saw
others treated likewise.
In corroboration of these affidavits Mr. Peirsol
gives a protest signed by one hundred and sixty-oue
delegates, constituting a decided majority of the
convention, declaring that convention to have been
organized and conducted in violation of tho Demo
cratic, rules, and asking the Chairman of the City
Executive Committee to have the convention re
convened at an early day. Mr. Peirsol justly char
acterizes the manner of the convention as scan
dalous, the frauds as unblushing, and the protest as
a thing unparalleled in the history or political con
ventions. The City Executive Committee having
been appealed to fruitlessly, he turns ror redress to
the people. He grounds his claim upon a proposition
that shows his consciousness or nn invincible integ
rity, and pleads his cause with an argument that
scarcely another in his place would dare to use. lie
says he has "acted thus far as an humble but con
sistent Democrat, who 'asks for nothing but what
is right, and will submit to nothing that is wrong.' "
The only semblance of reparation doled out by
the Executive Committee comes in tho shape of a
convention to revise the rules governing the Demo
cratic party, which is to assemble to-morrow morn
ing, to receive the genial aud copious hospitalities
of the Democratic Association of Pennsylvania.
Either the chucking of this poor pittance, or the
ominous protest of the majority of delegates, or proba
bly both, disturbed the placid repose of Mr. T. Gross
Fry In his "musings with the universe," "by the
deep sea, aud music in its roar;" and from Cape
May he energetically despatched a telegram on
Saturday to Colonel Greene. lie mildly requested
that the City Convention, ir possible, be reconvened,
that his nomination may not be tainted with the
slightest doubt of regularity and fairness. The old
adage says, "Procrastination is the thief of time;"
and Mr. Fry must either plead a "Itlp Van Winkle"
slumber, despite the increase in the price of horse
feed, or else be considered a receiver of that pur
loined article. Colonel Greece, however, comes hand
somely to his relief, and regretfully assures him that
a special meeting of the City Convention requires
the written request of one-lifth of the whole num
ber of delegates ; his duty and pleasure require a
compliance with this rule. Thus, matters remain
considerably mixed up, with fair indications of a free
light all around.

HERRING'S PATENT j
FRANKLINITE BANKER'S CHEST. I
Pkkkyvilli Station, Pennsylvania RR.,1
June 13, im. f
Messrs. Fakkki., herrino a Co.,
No. 629 Chesnnt street, Philadelphia.
Gents: A persistent but unsuccessful effort waa
made on the night of May 29, 1S09, to drill the
Banker's chest received from yon a few menth ago.
From facts that have come to our knowledge, It la
evident that the attempt to open It was renewed on
Sunday evening following. Finding all efforts to drlU
It useless, the effort was then made to break the
lock. The hammering was heard by parties In tha
neighborhood for several hours, but supposing it to
arlne from the rnllrnm1 man nUnii,. . ,.i
- .vjuwvui a uuiuuuvfl
rail, excited ha 4!n,i ntm tnnta with th. .i
of the drills, were left. It Is evident that Uiej were
not only prepared, but perfectly familiar with the
construction of yeur Chest.
That they failed is another evidence that your
Banker's Cheat aro what yoa claim for them, Bur.
glar-Proof.
Respectfully yours,
W.P J.BAIJSBACK,Jlgent.
