WHO ('AN MAKK HINDIXO AGREE
MENTS IN BEHALF OF CUBA?
From the X. Y. World.
Onr proposition tbnt Sp.iin ndvniico a step
beyond the miggHtim of Custoliiv, in tbo
Cortes and give independenco to tho Cuban
colonihts they, in turn, making duo pesou
uinry Mipnlntioiis in pnymeiil for the publio
property 'f Spain oti tho island bus pro
duced n result which vefore"uv nnd intended.
It linn promoted inquiry uniting- rollout ins
journalist whether there be any existing power
or organization in Cuba competent to speak
nnd act in the matter in behalf of the inhabi
tants. Tho New Orleans J't'cu.'i'tifi, com
menting on the proposition of tho WofUl,
makes tho following pertinent suggestions:
"xpnln mny le willing to well C uba to t tie Cubans,
Imt wlui are t lie t'uiaii? There must he some au
thority competent to buy, and wllli power to pledge
the consent of a people, ami wtih the menus of re
deeming that pledge. There m nothing In tuo present
condition ot the Island to show that there is such
hiirmonv uinong the Inhabitants that the concession
of Independence would find them In a frame of mind
towards each other to create a new government that
would go peacefully into operation. There are In
ternal motions riiglng, and It Is not to ho assumed,
as a mutter of course, that they will drop all ani
mosities at the moment when they are lelt free from
external pressure to contest for the maslery among
themselves. Willi which of these factious will Spain
treat and what chance Is there that, if she he willing
to treat, she can llnd a governing body competent to
contract, or, after contracting, to administer the
island with that degree of peace ami good order
which Is necessary for the lullllinent of obligations,
and Is, In fact, the humane end for which tho propo
silion for sale Is advanced and recommended 'I
"It these dillleultics could be removed or provided
for. ami a Hale of Cuba be ellectod, with the reason
able certulntv that It would be an end of strife and
opening of a career of pca e in the Island, and, if It
tailed, it were believed that the l iiited Statesdo not
recommend the sale, anticipating a condition of
things on the Island which would compel the Cifcjnnn
to tluow themselves on the protection of tne United
Mates for relief, then Spain might lie disposed at
once to close with the propositions and leave tho
Cubans to work out their own ends as best they may.
Perhaps, in consideration of the manifold and op
portune advantages t0 hi'iseir, she may be willing to
take the money and dismiss from thought all con
templation of the conseUonees. ltut even In that,
event, If Is a very serious question for the United
States, whether they are ready and willing to con
tribute to such results, with a lull view of all the
embarrassing consequences that are to follow. It is
something to be thought of with a great deal of de
liberation." These nre some of the perils of frco Cuba
to which we alluded, a day or t wo ago, as
coming to the surface here in the quarrel
brewing between Mr. Lemns and Mr. Mucins;
but if it be a fact that an overwhelming ma
jority of the inhabitants of the island (exclud
ing the Africans) desire to be completely rid
of Spanish control, and that is their upper
most political thought, we think the perils
mny be practically avoided. If, on the other
Land, it be tmo that, by reason of tho exist
ence of irreconcilable factions amongst the
colonists, or for any other cause, there is not
nnd cannot be at present on the island any
power representing tho people which is com
petent to receive from Spain the boon of
political freedom, do acts necessary to secure
it, and maintain in tho future ' liberty pro
tected by law," then onr plan canuot bo car
ried out, even if tho governments at Madrid
and Washington consent and co-operate.
Tho view of tho 1'ici'iiine necessitates a se
rious consideration of the pretensions of Ces
pedes and his Ho-called insurgent government.
Whom and what does it in fact represent ?
Can it be made tho nucleus of "a governing
body competent to contract, or, after con
tracting, to administer the island with that
degree of peace and good order which is ne
cessary for the fulfilment of obligations, and
is, in tact, the Humane enu lorwmcn tne pro
position for sale is advanced and recom
mended" by the World ? If it cannot, then
the popular emotion in the United States
in respect to the existing sedition on the
island has no basis of fact or reason; Cespe-
des, with all his allies or supporters, is an
idle, aimless, wicked disturber of the public
peace and tranquillity; and it would be an
outrage for the United States to accord to him
a belligerent status. Thus far, to be
sure, there has been little evidence as to
when and how political power was, by popu
lar consent of those concerned, given to tho
Cespodes government, and as to tho manner
in which it has been exercised. Even tho
locality of the new government is not cloarly
established. AVo have statements of forty
thousand men being under his command, but
no explanation of where they are making
military operations. Certain it is that they
have fought no battles where tho record of
killed or wounded on either side would indi
cate an engagement of magnitude. Neither
have the insurgents captured any considerable
town, nor do they hold free access to the
ocean. In a word, they are now wanting in
most of the elements which, in the domain of
international law or according to the prece
dents tho UnitodiStates has established, would
justify this nation in recognizing them as a de
fmio belligerent State. But, notwithstanding
all this, we have been under the impression
that there was on the island a repressed con
dition of feeling and opinion which, on pro
per mediation of tho United States with
Hpain, would quickly spring up, organize, and
demonstrate its competency to assume and
meet all obligations necessary for a new gov
ernment. We quite agree with the Vintyune in respect
to the undesirability of Cuba, at this time, as
a portion of the United States.
"WHAT WE SPEND FOR USELESS
FOREIGN MINISTERS.
From the X. J'. ,Vim.
A report presented to Congress last session,
in connection with the reform of the diplo
matic and consular service, shows conclusively
that while the representatives of European
powers make it their paramount duty to pro
mote commerce and industry, our agents in
foreign countries do nothing of tho kind, and
content themselves with pocketing their sala
ries and pushing, their otHeiul claims upon tho
consideration of tho Old World aristocratic
anti-republican society.
Tho report in question further declares that
in tho eleven smaller South American States,
England, with an aggregate commerce of
iiM),(i(l,()()0, spends annually but pjo (too
for diplomatic and consular representation
and France, with tjj'.io, 000,000 f commerco'
only 50,000; while tho United States, with a
commerce aggregating uarely ll',,ooo,000,
fire mulcted in tho annual expense of $17:1,00'.).
In European countries, Franco, with a
trade of ;.-,0,000,000 with her English
neighbors, only upends i:;),00 annually for
a legation and thirteen consulates: while tho
United States, with a trade of $l';o,ooo,ooo,
employs twenty consular officers in England,
besides a minister, at an aggregate annual
cost of $11:1,000. In Belgium, Great Britain
upends ".0,000 annually for a minister and
two consuls, with a trade of :.;,000,00f); wo,
with a trade only of $,"i,O00,OO(), or loss than
one-tenth of that of England, employ six
consuls and a legation, at nearly hulf as much
expenditure as England.
In Ecuador our diploniatio and consular
THE PAIL f EVENING TELEGR A PIT PHILADELPHIA , FRIDAY,
establishments cost almost as much as tho
entire gross amount of the aggregate value of
imports and exports nnmoly, about $20,000.
In Japan, with a trade of $1,500,0 )0, we
pay upward of $'.'.",000 to our official repre
sentatives. In Mohammedan countries wo pay $ii 1,000
for official agents, with a trado of only
$ I', 000, 000; in Portugal, $28,000, with n trado
of $500,000; in Denmnrk, $L'1),000, with a
trade of $1, '.'00,000. In Tent we pay $2.".,0l):,
the snme amount we pny in Cuba, though
with the former country tho trade amounts
only to $700,000, and with the latter to
nearly $ 10,000,000. It is well said in tho
Congressional report that "such a system im
poverishes the people by abstracting from
their pockets mony hundreds of thousands of
dollars, to be lavished upon ministers who
attitudinize, as Talleyrands among tho Pata
goninns, while trado which might enrich our
people slips from our" hands and passes to
other markets of the world."
These and similar facts disclosed in tho
report that has been submitted to tho Senate
from tho Joint Committee on' Retrenchment,
go far to corroborate tho opinion which wo
have repeatedly expressed in regard to tho
woitLlehMiess of our diplomatic and consu
lar system. We fully agree with the commit
tee in its opinion that '"other considerations
besides commerce are certainly worthy of at
tention in connection with foreign coun
tries." But we agree with it still more
thoroughly in its additional statement that
"commercial intercourse affords ono of tho
most practicable means of testing the. effici
ency of tho foreign service, and tho value
which it yields as compared with the oxpendi
tuie which it involves."
Regarding as we do our diplomatic and
consular system ns a miserable failure, so far
as the promotion of national interests is con
cerned, nnd entertaining but little hope of a
change for tho better, we think it is timo for
our merchants, through their regular Cham
bers of Commerce, to deviso means for the
improvement of our commerco and naviga
tion. They may tnko for granted that nothing
of the kind will ever be done under our pres
ent system of representation in foreign coun
tries. We are a great nation only in imagi
nation Bo long as we do not possess our full
dinre of tho commerco nnd enterprise of tho
globe. Previous to and during tho war we
were all absorbed by tho slavery question,
and tho financial speculations since the res
toration of peace have been rather turned into
the channel of local operations than towards
commerce, industry, and navigation.
That a change is necessary in this direc
tion, in order to vindicate our claims as a
commercial and enterprising people, must bo
obvious to the careful observer of our na
tional vicissitudes. But sinco the impulse
which is given in Europe to foreign commerce
and navigation by able nnd industrious offi
cial agents is not vouchsafed to our people, it
behooves our Chambers of Commerco to tnko
hold of this vast subject, nnd we know of no
public bodies in our country who could do
justice to it more effectively. These organi
zations in our principal cities are composed
of our most distinguished merchants and ship
owners. No one can excel them in practical
experience mid genius for elucidating this
question, and for taking measures that may
restore prosperity to our mercantile enter
prise. The zeal displayed by ministers of
commerce in Europe might be advantageously
emulated by our mercantile chambers, with
the invaluable difference that tho energy of
tho individual citizens would prove far more
eil'ective than the costly machinery of gov
ernmental direction, and give at tho same
time a startling lesson to the supinenoss of
tho administration and its host of do-nothings.
WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH OUR CRIMI
NALS ?
From the X. Y. Tribune.
It is a grave question. Forty-six thousand
four hundred and seventy-six commitments in
New York city alone tell a dark tale; and how
many in the land beside ? The twenty -fourth
"Report of the Prison Association of Now
York" states that some fifteen thousand hu
man beings are confined in our State prisons
for grave crimes. What are we to do with
these armies of men who war against society 'i
The old fashion was to hang them, kill them,
get them out of the way and their places
were quickly filled. The natural man was not
only at enmity with God, but he loved to hunt
his fellow-man. Twice have we witnessed this
human hunt driving on men tracking the
criminal as if they were hounds and he a
beast; ferocity was on every face, and the
quiet blood of quiet country folk was hot as
that of the sleuth-hound. This old ferocity
is not quite allayed; the hunter instinct is
not altogether suppressed; wo do not like to
be seen flocking to a hanging now as to a
banquet, yet we hate the criminal more than
the crime.
But the world moves; we get what consola
tion we can out of that. It moves, and this
"Report" proves it. We rind that, in every
State, great, melancholy stone palaces havo
been built for our criminals, in which we give
tht-m decent places to sleep, decent food to
eat, and mostly decent clothes to wear, and
we set them to work to support themselves.
In some cases, too, we try to reform thorn,
nnd give them a desire for an honest life.
We thus begin to recognize that they are
human, not devilish. But wo forbid them to
speak; they cannot open their mouths to
make a sound from year's end to year's end,
day or night, summer or winter. Think of
it, you man who are a talking creature try
it lor a week or a day : One man in the Ohio
Penitentiary has been living so, or dying so,
for over twenty years, and he is an imbecile,
of course. "Better an imbecile than a mur
derer," you say. So do we, if that is tho
choice. But is it ? In tho present system of
Tennessee the criminal is allowed "Sunday
liberty" that is, on Sunday he may "talk,
sing, write letters, read books, or walk about
the yard"' and, strange to say, it makes him
bi tter; it is nn "aid, not a hindrance, to dis
cipline," so his keepers sny. Will it not do
to try this a little further? After all, tho
criminal mny be human.
Again: tho hixh seems to bo given up in nil
tho Mate prisons, but m Kentucky and Iowa;
nnd tho best superintendents say it is impera
tive that "our system shall not degrade moil
in their own esteem by harsh and rigid dis
cipline." It strikes us 'that nothing is likely
to be more degrading to a man than to have
his nuked buck cut and slashed with a whip,
unless it be to be forced to cut and slash an
other man s back with a whip. Have pity upon
your v-urdenH, O, Kentucky! O, Iowa ! if
not upon your criminals ! -Rind and intelli
gent discipline is tho only mode which has the
Pi i rt,Irm fallen man. So
all the groat superintendents agroe8Uch men
ns Brockwny of Michigan, and Pillsbury of
Connecticut, and Loo ot Kouth Carolina, and
McUweo of Tennessee, and Haines of M,issa
chusetts, and Wnrdwell of Virginia. Those
are wiso, able, thorough men, and years of
experience have proved to them that it will do
to treat criminals as men, not as beasts, if
therefore, we must have crimiuuls, let be
decent at least.
But not only have these great managers doiio
thus to the criminal: they hive also m.ido
leekless men work and pay all their expenses,
nnd also make a profit for tho tax-payers of
their States. What, do you suppose "it costs
in the Ohio Penitentiary to toed ("and fool
well), and bed, and c'otho, and doct r a crimi
nal man a year? Simply $51 ;)7. And now,
virtuous man, be of good courage $51 :7 cm
be made topuvidl your expenses except hotnj
lent. Who need bo poor, if ho will bo econo
mical? In some quarters has come up ft sense
less cry thnt those criminals must not bo al
lowed to work, lest they may in jure homo vir
tuous workman. It is senseless, ot course.
and will die away.
We hero ask attention to ono groat evil
whieb must bo corrected. Men liko those wo
have named, who havo devoted life, thought,
and energy to this important work, must, bo
sustained in it ny an good men iv an wiio
pay taxes, and all do. As it is and has boon,
they have been subject to tho whims of popu
lar elections, and hold their positions only
liko politicians. This should everywhere bo
changed; and they should hold their places
not only for their own good, but should bo
urged to hold them for our good and that of
the criminal man. Now bear it in mind that
the draft of our new Constitution, to be
voted upon in November, contains a provision
to place tho charge of our prisons in the h inds
of a competent board to be appointed by the
uovernor and. Senate, linn, and this only,
will secure us tne services ot our best nieu in
these positions. It is so necessary, so wiso,
so vital, that we shall hope for its unanimous
acceptance.
THE DEMOCRATIC TARTY AND FREE
TRADE.
From the X. Y. Times.
The Democratic journals insist that free
trade shall be treated as apolitical question,
nnd, ajove all, as a Democratic question.
They have no respect for tho suggestion that
financial and fiscal matters should bo diseussod
on their merits, irrespective of their bearing
on the fortunes of this or that party, i'roo
trade is political, they si.y free trado is De
mocratic; and any effort to separate it from
partisanship they ascribe to tho Republican
enemy.
How is it. then, that of the Democratic
conventions that havo been recently held not
one has made free trado a part of its platform?
All of them talk about reducing tho burdens
on industry and revising and amending the
system of taxation: but further than this they
have not ventured. I hey have not declared
free trade to be iiDcmocraticqiicstiou. They
have not identified themselves or their party
with the policy which their own journals
parade as essentially Democratic. Are wi to
accept the fact as evidence that, afterall, free
trauu is not a generally received article ot tho
Democratic creed, or as au admission that the
country is not ripe lor the promulgation ot a
frco trade programme?
We regard the extreme caul ion of the De
mocratic managers on this sub met as testi
mony to the popular strength of the move
ment lor practical revenue retorm which has
been large! y aided by the reports of Commis
sioner Wells, and which has its most effective
champions m tho Republican ranks. In this
estimate of the situation the Democratic con
ventions concede not a little. They virtually
abandon the pretense that tho present tariff
is a party measure, and confess that the
method of reform proposed by Mr. Wells and
prominent Republicans is that which best
commends itself to the judgment of tho
people. Tho monopolists have friends in
both parties.
"THE DOG STAR RAGES."
From the X. 1'. Ilerald.
If evidence were wanted to prove that we
are in the midst of tho season when tho "Dog
Star rnges, " it will only be necessary to refer
to the catalogue of hot-tempered occurrences
that have occupied the columns of the news
papers for tho past few days. Here are a few
of them: The religious rows and muddles in
Chicago; the fight and scramble for the spoils
of the Charleston Custom House; the bloody
political rights in isarnwetl and Charleston,
h. U.; tne murderous l reaks ot a madman in
New Jersey, who, it seems, is iu tho habit of
having these amiable spells at this time of tho
yenr, which fact being known, by the way, it
is strange the maniac's friends did not take
care of him. Then we have had and still have
the fight among the Republicans in the in
terior of this State against the dictation of
the New York city radical rings; tho ran
corous political campaign in Tennessee; the
rows nnd riotings among the Massachusetts
Republicans in regard to the prohibitory
liquor law; railroad accidents, shocking mur
ders, and brutal hangings have been as plenty
as blackberries in August; and, finally, we
have just had a revival of the old anti-rent
feudal war in the shooting of several county
officers while in the performance of their
official duty. Verily, if all these things are
not enough to make tho everyday readers, as
well as editors, reporters, correspondents,
and all others connected with newspapers, per
spire at every pore, there is no use in having
i i. ..i :...ii-. -.ai,.
iioi nines puysieany, meuiuny, socially,
morally, political!', financially, or religiously.
The most prominent peaceful event of the
past few days is that grand achievement of
science, the successful landing of tho Franco-
American cable on our shores. That event is
a great victory of peace, nnd signally demon
strates that peace hath indeed her victories
no less renowned than war. We warn all
high-tempered people to keep their passions
m check at least until tho reign ot tho Dog
btar is passed nnd gone.
IS IiOUTWELL MUTINOUS?
Vm the X. Y, Onniitereinl Adtertixer.
lias tne administration a policy,'' It so,
what is the policy? Does Secretary Bout well
represent Uenernl Grant ami the administra
tion in favoring the election of Stokes as Gov
ernor of Tennessee? If the Cabinet is not a
unit on Tennessee, it is not the part of wisdom
for Secretary lloniwell to iuterferoin a family
quarrel. It may lie wisdom in the judgment
of the Secretary to aid in dividing and dis
tracting the party but our judgment would
counsel otherwise. If the President favors
non-intervention in Tennessi-o divisions, as he
iliil iu Virginia, Mr. Bout well has committed
an error, an unpardonable Plunder, anil an
act of insubordination deserving of tho
severest punishment. JNlr. Bout well may
have convictions that Stokes is a patriot, and
Senter a Copperhead and Rebel; but it Gene
ral Grant and the Cabinet think otherwise, it
is unwise, it is impolitic to volunteer a stump
npeeclii in helialt ot Mokes a speecli, loo,
which more becomes a ward spouter than a
statesman and tho Secretary of tho Treasury.
It may be that we are doino the bocrotary
injustice. It may bo ho speaks by command
of the President. What we complain of in
that tho people are in doubt as to the position
of Generul Grunt and his Cabinet on tho ion-
nessee wrangle. It would be a great relief to
the country if tho administration woulil Uohne
its policy. Keeping people in tho dark may
lead tuciu into error. Let us have light.
SECRETARY ROBESON'S OPPORTUNITY.
From tht X. 1'. Time. "
It is clonr that what u-n.s flT.Knrrotiirv

ter, would make him not only famous, hut

n'lf illustrious, it is rarer still to find ono
who, in Secretary Robeson's position, can
not afford to execute that stroke. His pre
decessor, during whoso short retention of tho
naval portfolio more reforms were consum
mated (thanks to Admiral Portor) than
ever before in fhfi same muion r,f u ma rtii
made ono grent misstep in his onslaught
upon tho "Indian names" of tho navy; for
this historians, antiquarians, editors, lec
turers, nnd legislators havo come down upon
him. All this his successor sees, and yet ho
does not withdraw the order. Tho reason,
doubtless, is that Admiral Porter ori 'inally
suggested the change, and now maintains it.
Hence Stnto legislatures, beginning with
Maine, New Hampshire, and so on, will pro
test, and feel outraged, in vain. Already,
tho olher day, wo noted in tho naval nows
what was doing with tho "Terror, late Aga
mentieus," nnd soon not evon this doublo
nomenclature will bo maintained. Hero,
then, appears to be a case of a good oppor
tunity for popularity which is not likely to bo
improved.
