from the X Y. World.
l'ulilic opinion in tliis country is not very
likely to lie mnoh inllnem-ed by tho urgency
with' which tho London Times supports what
it KceniH to inuuine to l.e tho designs of tho
United States on Culm. Certainly, nothing
could lie more amusingly brazen than tho way
in which tho Time denounces Spain as stupid
and imbecile .for her "meddling in tho New
World." tho said "meddling" being neither
more nor less than nn attempt of the Spanish
Government to put down an insurrection in
Culm, precisely as tho Knglish Government,
not vety long l,ut down nn insurrection
in Canada.
If anything could mal;o American more
than doubtful as to tho expediency of exerting
n hostile pressure upon Spain for tho purpose
of compelling the annexation of Cuba to tho
Union, it should certainly be tho extreme
eagerness shown by such journals ns tho
Time to see the United States setting them
selves to that work. Cuba, wrenched from
the grasp of Spain by our arms, would pretty
surely come to us in a condition which would
make the island, economically speaking,
worthless, and, politically speaking, worse
than worthless, to us for many a long year
to come. Tho only really wise and really
honorable action which our Government can
take in this matter the 'rhl has already
pointed out to bo tho exercise of our
friendly influence, with Spain on the ono
baud niid with Cuba on the other, to bring
about a calm and peaceful settlement of the
status of the island ly negotiations between
the people of the colony and the people of
the metropolis. We have also, unfortunately,
beoti forced to chronicle the practical failure
of tho first attempts of our Government in
this direction a failure duo to the worse
tban folly of President Grant in forcing a
scoundrel, a murderer, a man destitute of
honor and of character, into tho position of
our accredited envoy at the Spanish capital.
President Grant himself appears to have re
garded these iirst fruits of his "esteem, friend
ship, and respect" for Ma. Daniel E. Sickles
as being of such Blight consequence that ho
could not stay in Washington even twenty
four hours to consider the new aspect in
which they put the Cuban question, and tho
position in which they put bis own adminis
tration. Yet both are surely worth consideration.
That tho Cuban insurrection will take cave
of itself and work out a happy result for Cuba
with no interference of ours is utterly impro
bable. It may suit an indolent and undecided
' administration to believe that it will do so,
just as it suits Cuban agents in this country
to represent that this it is actually doing. But
what are the facts of tho case ?
The Cuban revolt began nearly or quite ten
months ago. Had it broken out before tho
revolution in Spain, it probably would have
been successful long before this time; for in
that case it would have commanded tho active
sympathy and co-operation of the vast ..in
jority of the inhabitants of the island, ns well
Peninsulars as Creoles. The intolerable bur
dens imposed upon Cuba by the sudden re
turn of the Narvaez government to power in
Spain bad been working out such a result, for
eighteen mouths and more, when tho system
of Narvaez, emasculated by his death, went
to pieces under the shock of tho revolution of
istis in Spain.
But though the actual Cuban insurrection
has been raging, as we are constantly as
sured, with extreme vehemence for so many
months, what do we see to-day:" It remains
still without any discoverable and accessible
headquarters in the island. Not a single sea
port has fallen into tho bands of tho insur
gents. "Ocean belligerency" they have none,
nor tne gnost. 01 any. r oroign htaces are
compelled to take the very existence of such
a thing as an "organized insurrectionary gov
ernment purely upon trust. W hue this stat
of things continues, it grows daily more aud
moue probable that the property-holders of
the island, coming to regard the rebellion
as a failure and as threatening to de
generate into a mere system of
-i i i
rapine, nnganuage, ami destruction, may
make up their minds that order with Spain is
bettor tban disorder without Spain, and so,
abandoning their hitherto inert attitude of
expectancy, may throw themselves with all
their force upon tho side of the Spanish Gov
ernment. To do this will bo to end the mat
ter, morally at least, in favor of Spain. For,
when this has been douo, Spain will rind her
self in a position to treat with tho Cubans
without any intermediation of ours. And
everything conspires to make it probable
that, whenever Spain comes to treat with the
Cubans amicably, the result will bo tho estab
lishment in the island of a practical autonomy
involving no closer connection with the
mother country than now exists between
England and her North American Dominion.
This may or may not bo a sensible and
satisfactory solution of tho Cuban question as
it presents itself to-day. But it assuredly
will not be the solution which President
Grant's administration has been looking for.
Its consummation would be an open defeat
and humiliation of President Grant's adminis
tration. It is perfectly true, of course, that tho suc
cess of the propositions made by our Govern
ment at Madrid, and ruined (if they are
ruined) by tho advocacy of Sickles, might
have ended in very much the same solution
as this. The examples of Mexico and her
sister Spanish-American States are not calcu
lated to tempt intelligent Cubans into desiring
Cuban independence. But if Cuban autono
my without independence had been secured
through the good offices of America, not only
should we have made Spain our friend by
helpins her honorably out of a cruel difficulty
we should have admirably prepared tho way
for the eventual annexation ot Cuba by at
taching to ourselves tho best classes of tht
Cuban population.
If Cuban autonomy w ithout independence
is achieved now without us, it will seem to
have been achieved in spite of us, and a situ
ation pregnant with the finest possibilities for
the influence and tho reputation of the
United States will have been scandalously
sacrificed by tho frivolous political incapacity
nnd the sad moral obtusenoss of tho mau
upon whom radicalism, for its own purposes.
chose to thrust the Chief Magistracy of the
nation.
FISK ON THE SUSQUEHANNA.
From the S. V. UeraUU
We expected it. We knew there could not
be an eclipse of the sun but war would fol
low, and here it is. In the vulley of the Sus
quehauna there are stirring times. That
hitherto placid region was tho chosen abode
of tho angel ol peace, but bo. poor rustic,
has wiped the smut from his fragment of
smoked glass anu ms iorehoad, folded the
little linen he owns, packed his Russian
leather bag, Wid tukcu his. departure, slipping
away by an express train, having been sur
prised with bis wings out for repairs. In his
stead comes, slowly rising above the line of
the horizon, tho burly figure of Fisk, Jr., the
hero of a hundred fights and victories the
man of interior linos anil exterior equanimity.
There is a hum of many voices a hubbub, a
clamor the noise of hustling and jostling,
nnd tho dust of the struggle fills the air, so
that tho only thing that isdeliuite is Fisk, Jr.
He comes out as round and clear as that p.irt
of the moon that first thrust
its impudent periphery between
us and the sun on Saturday last at
ono minute past five 1'. M. He is the only
thing that is well defined: but there are other
figures dimly seen in fho edge of the glory
that Mazes out from his person like the
circle of splendor around a Chinese giant
made of fireworks. There is some myste
rious creature named Ramsey, touching whom
tradition and history are equally silent: there
are live hundred persons, called tho "indig
nant public," gathered together in Albany
and shouting for liamsey; there are captured
trains, burned bridges, judges furiously an 1
rapidly issuing in junctions; tho very air is
darkened with writs and with sheriffs hurry
ing madly up and down with those puerilities
of the law. Then there is tho Governor en
couraging tho diversion by declaring that
whoever trcts possession shall be protected
therein: and, better than all, there are the
militia soldiers marching through the blue
and rose-colored lire, tho excellent band
playing:
"t' est nn famcnx regiment
l.e regiment ilu la Grande Ducliesse."
Hurrah for the militia!
Then we have the Governor again
This
time ho threatens to apply the radical cure of
martial law, which, as is known to all "mussy"
persons, both in this country and Europe, has
a "stniL' like a viper, seize the road in the
name of the Executive, and run it as a military
line under the urgency of a military necessity.
The very announcement of such a plan had a
soothing effect. Tho belligerents were astou
ihhed, sobered, and finally soothed, at least
for the moment. They appeared as if re
joiced that any person or power came be
tween them to "hold on" to them and calm
the "burly burly" even temporarily. It was
agreed to hand tho matter road, quarrel,
and all over to tho Governor, saving the
rights of the contestants, let him retain
it for a while, and then see how it would
"come out.'' Governor Hoffman, in the
meantime, "went in," as invited. He ap
pointed a gentleman to represent him a sort
of condensed railroad king assume the re
sponsibility and "work" the road on the "one
man power" principle. This has been carried
into effect, and all refractory members are
likely to bo pushed aside equally, after tho
fashion of Oliver Cromwell and the first Bona
parte. The precedent may herald a grand re
volution in the matter of railroad manage
ment, for if the Governor's man is able to
"tool tho coach," after the others have failed,
why not an executive man be appointed to
run each line or all the lines in the State,
under authority of law? Good may "come
out of evil."
Altogether it is the most magnificent, en
tertaining, and distracting muddle of modern
times. It is better than the anti-rent war;
fifty times better than Grant's visit to Long
Branch. (How is it he didn't go to Saratoga,
since there are races up there V) Nobody
would think of comparing Bisuiark's Sadowa
war to this war on the banks of the beautiful
Susquehanna; for Bismark is not so stout as
Fisk, and whereas that war lasted only seven
days, this will last a great deal longer.
There is no use to make the comparison
m rintim with all the great events of our
time, from the :() tl'ttitt to the battle of
Prince and Turk. It is sufficient to say that
this surpasses them all in the dramatic and
epic elements, and we are confident that if
Fisk owned a poet, Achilles, Ulyssus, Dio-
mcdes ana all those fellows would appear as
atomies beside him. the contusion ot the
thing is so beautiful. It is so exquisitely in
comprehensible. This indeed, is, critically
speaking, the great point. All ordinary up
roars are soon seen through. We know them
as we know the incidents of a ride in a city
horse-car. Aud it is this familiarity that
breeds contempt for them as commonplaces.
We defy anybody to have a similar contempt
for Fisk's doings. He evidently believes in
Burke, and means to be sublime by keeping
jusl m i lie outer uiuii oi popular comprehen
sion.
No doubt the public would be sorry to have
this fine row degenerate into a simple thing
that they could understand: but this need not
cause them to regret that Fisk has written a
letter explaining his case. He does not ex
plain it, ot course. He is not so foolish as to
make these matters plain. True, he seems
for a moment to argue very straightforwardly
that be acts in the interest of owners of the
majority of tho stock, and that bis object is
to make the Susquehanna Railroad, connect
ing Biughamton with Albany, less a branch of
the Erie tban a main line that in conjunction
with the Erie will connect the West with the
East by the Albany and Boston road. Here
we can see a good and legitimate purpose,
and also a plain reason for the opposition of
tho Central, that great rival of Erie that now
has exclusive direct communication between
Albany and the West. This, therefore, is
simple enough; but, as we have said, that
very fact is against it, for surely Fisk is not
inclined thus to come down from the throne
ho holds as tho Grand Panjandrum of modern
muddles, and stand before the world simply
as a shrewd manager of railroads, careful to
be in the right, touch seft-abnegution is not
possible: so wo shall suspend our faith in his
proclamation till we bear what the other side
says.
IS THE REVOLUTION OYER?
l'ruln tin' liiflimoml Examiner.
Two spirits now rend the Pa-publican parly.
Ono urges it to bold its power by violence;
the other urges it to widen its foundations
by justice. One whispers that tho revolution
is not over; tho other gives the caution that it
is time to take in sail. Bout well believes
that the angry passions of the mob have not
yet spent themselves; Greeley believes that
it is best to call tho dogs off. All, under the
fiery spur of old Thad. Stevens, finally agreed
to let in upon tho South the Black' Sea of
universal negro suffrage, under the idea that
that would bold in check the Southern vote;
but the extreme wing of the party is
not now clear that this will make a suro thing
of it. Thus Brownlow sought to harness
Tennessee by enfranchisement on the one
hand and disfranchisement on the other
Thus Wells urged upon tho Reconstruction
Committee that bo could not manage Yir
ginia unless they would disfranchise 2" ()()
ltebels. Thus his party of them)
voted to keep on tho wrists of Virginia the
manacles of tho test oath. Thus Buutwell
wrote to Tennessoe backing up tho proserin
tive policy of Stokes. Those party loaders
would drive tho South into radicalism drive
them with negro votes, and take care to have
a majority of negro votes. Out of tho Union
they would bold the South with the bayonet;
iu the Union they must hvld it with negro
voters. It is tho policy which England acted
on so long in Ireland tho government of
sheer force. It is tho policy which Austria
followed in Venetia and Eombardy. It is tho
system of Russia in Poland force, aud
plenty of it.
But there aro broader views in tho Repub
lican party. This class of thinkers (and it
seems to comprise the abler Republican news
papers) do not believe that tho South can bo
successfully governed in this way. They d
not believe that an enduring Republican party
can be built up in the South by such means.
Mr. Greeley is the leader of this wing. Hi
still Hies his banner "I'niversal Amnesty and
Universal Suffrage." "It is not a victory to
day that I seek," he exclaims, "but to win in
the war." He wishes to appeal to tho interests
and judgment of tho whites of the South, be
lieving that, until ho can divide the whites, it
will be impossible to form any solid Repub
lican party among us. Therefore ho patronizes
Walker in Virginia and Senter in Tennessee.
He sees tho Walker Republicans drive the
point of the wedge into tho ranks of tho whites
in Virginia, aud he thinks a few more blows
will divide them into two parties. He be
lieves it is madness to attempt to govern tho
South permanently with tho negroes alone,
and that they must appeal to tho wealth, tho
intelligence, and tho virtue of this section.
Governor Brownlow seems to have reached
the same conclusion in Tennesseo and he
had tried tho othor plan. Tho President,
Secretary Fish, Secretary Cox, Secretary Raw
lins, tho New York flutes, the New York
C"Htuu rei'til, the Springfield J! pthlien u, the
Chicago lii jiiiliet)i, and the Chicago Tribune
agree with Mr. Greeley. Secretary Boutwell,
Wendell Phillips, Secretary Cre'swell, the
Washington (' rntiie, General Butler, repre
sent the Mountain.
The latter ore not instructed by tho result
in Virginia, where tho party which put the
test-oath iu the Virginia Constitution were
beaten by that very blunder; nor by tho result
in Tennessee, where the very expansive foreo
of freedom spontaneously burst tho hoops
and bauds which confined its spirit. "Push
on the guillotine!" they cry: "Mississippi and
Texas yet remain and we have not done with
Virginia."
There is undoubtedly dissension in tho Re
publican camp: it remains to be seen which
element will triumph. Tho President is
bound in honor, as well as in feeling, to Vir
ginia, lie has a powerful backing: but Bout
well (whom the President hates) is strong in
will, has Butler at his back, and trusts to the
idea that the revolutionary fury is not yet
over.
Which will win? We bet on Horace Gree
ley and the President. Tho Northern people
are fired of strife. Northern capital is tire 1
of the unsettled condition of tho South.
Northern sense of justice demands that we
shall have done with a system of repression
and force. " The spirit of the hour is a gentlo
spirit: the spirit of war and of diabolism
spreads her wings at tho first grey streaks of
the morning.
THE FOREIGN POLICY OF THE ADMIN
ISTRATION. From the X. )'. Sim.
In his inaugural address, referring to our
foreign policy, General Grant told the coun
try that he should deal with nations as equita
ble law requires individuals to deal with each
other: that he should protect native and foreign-bom
citizens wherever their rights were
put in jeopardy, and wherever our flag floated;
that while respecting the rights of all nations,
he would demand equal respect for our own;
and that if other powers should depart from
this rule, he might be coirclled to follow
their precedent.
These brave words foreshadowed a bold
and vigorous policy. They received tho warm
approval of our own people, irrespective of
party, and arrested tho attention and excited
the comment of foreign powers. The Eng
lish and French journals, reflecting, no
doubt, tho opinions of their leading states
men, tried to argue themselves into tho belief
that these declarations were capable of a paci
fic construction, while they freely admitted
that they betokened a determination on the
part of the new President to conduct our
foreign affairs in a spirit more firm, decisive,
and truly American than bad of late years
marked our history.
Tho past five months have afforded fre
quent occasions for putting the sincerity of
General Grant's manifesto to tho test. Have
the hopes it inspired at homo, and tho fears
tt excited abroad, been realized ? On tho
contrary, have not bis sonorous words turned
out to be the merest fanfaronade? Is there
an instance in the history of the country
when an administration has been so subser
vient to any foreign power as that of Grant
has been to Spain t
Jur neutrality laws, more stringent than
i nose oi any European monarchy, are in an
tagonism with the L'cnitlS of our iinnnlo
Nevertheless, the most conspicuous act of the
1"'"' nuimmsinuion is tne rigorous execu
tion ot this code against an oppressed colony
whose republican patriots, nobly outstripping
etery example of history, began their revolu
tion ny ueereeing tne abolition of slavery,
and are still struggling to throw off the yoke
of a despotism that has fostered tl le sliLvrt
trade, maintained a licentious Court, and for
bade the education of tho people, aud is now
ii.wuy iu won 10 sen us crown in tho market
overt of Europe. Indeed, so busy has tho
administration been in enforcing this ex
ceptional code in the interests of Spanish des
pots and slave-mongers, that it has not found
time to faithfully execute Some of the ordi-
j nary revenue laws of our own country.
Aim now nas the administration redeomed
its pledge to protect citizens whoso rights aro
not put in jeopardy merely, but are actually
siieiiiiced ? American citizens pine in British
prisons for words spoken on this side of tho
Atlantic, and no remonstrance is heard from
our Secretary of State. They aro shot in
cold blood .Mid without trial in Cuba, and our
State Department is dumb, while ono of the
national vessels stationed in the waters con
tiguous to that ill-fated island, and which
might have afforded protection to tho victims
of Spanish cruelty, is ordered homo to
convey the President and a portion of
his Cabinet on junketing tours to Long
Braiuh or Newport.
As to the Alabama matter, it; remains iu
ittttu (jio, and its management lias excited
such profound contempt in tho masses of our
citizens, that it is doubtful whether tho ad
ministration would not lose rather than gain
by attempting to stir it up again. Certainly,
unless it handles this stale subject with a good
deal more skill and in a far loftier American
spirit than Has characterized tho rest of its
foreign policy, it had better let it alone. At
all events, we ought not to Instruct our
Minister to sidle around St. James' Palace
with the air of a needy chapman dun
ning a haughty creditor, and begging to know
when it will suit the convenience of the
Foreign Secretary to look over our bill.
In a word, the foreign policy of this ad
miuistrutiou, proclaimed in sonorous phrases
from the steps of the Cupitol in March, has
thus far proven to be one of the most pusil
lanimous in tho history of the country.
CO-OPERATIVE EDUCATION.
From the A'. V. Tribune.
A self-supporting Co-oporntive Industrial
School for boys and girls was founded in
Keuttingen in Germany, in ls.'H, by Herr
von Werner, tho son of the Finance Minister.
Tho founder was a student of tho University
of Tubingen, and at tho tiino a poor vicir.
The institution was opened for poor and den- '
titute children, in order to show the possi- J
bility of using children's work as a capital for j
making such institutions self-supporting, and ;
of getting rid of tho degrading influence of '
almshouses. Ilerr von Werner was assisted
by an excellent lady, idio was his true helper
in housekeeping and needlework, which she
taught in his school until her death in 1-U.
'J hey worked very hard, aud wore sometimes
in want of food; nevertheless he was able,
in is lo, to buy four cows and to rent some
land. A great misfortune happened to him
at this time tho loss of his place as vicar
but, as ho could not swear over the symbolic
Poors, mo wovernment dismissed him from
his viearship. It was a favorite idea of Ilerr
Werner's not only to give bis pupils tho op
portunity to see different occupations, aud to
choose freely from them after somo expe
rience, but to keep them from 11 to IS out of
the way of tho dangers of life in largo cities,
when they could not have the shelter of
home-life, with friends. Ho therefore ad
mitted outside children as apprentices, but
they were obliged to pass a full year on pro
nation, and to remain lour years as
prentices.
UP-
With the assistance of somo friends, ho
founded, in ls."7, a paper mill and a credit in
stitution, in which every one belonging to tho
institution could tako a shore, large or small.
Uio next year occurred a great hail-storm
and famine, and seventy children left in tho
care of the community of Fluorn wero put
into tho almshouse. Heir von Werner went
to Fluorn, and, leaving some of these children
in the care of his friends, took tho rest into
his institution for a certain sum paid by tho
community. Ho now bought a water-mill in
connection with a large farm, so important to
the comfort of tho establishment. This farm
of three hundred acres, stocked with thirty
six oxen, ten horses, cattle, and sheep, was
conducted entirely by two men and those
children. They ground flour, oil, and bones.
It was very profitable, and very central for
sending vegetables and other provisions to
other similar institutions. From this time
they grew very fast. Tho paper mill made
every day from fifteen to twenty hundred
weight of beautiful paper, with the help of
twenty workmen and one hundred girls.
The large so-called Mtht r-JLutse contained
tho different bureaus under tho caro of ten
persons; tho needlework department with
forty girls; tho tailor and show workshops
with from thirty to forty. Tho Gottettliulfe
contained tho church and school-rooms, the
home for Herr von Werner (which seemed to
have belonged to oil the family), and the
sleeping-rooms for the boys and for a hundred
workmen, nearly all of whom have beon edu
cated in the institution.
This institution is now very large and quite
rich. It sends its travelling agents over Wur
temburg, Switzerland, and the Rhino. Tho
knitting and crochet-work and net-work of the
girls is sold for from thirty to sixty thousand
florins per year. The cotton mill is owned in
fifty shares; a wool factory and chemical labo
ratory occupy twenty bouses. A Kindergar
ten, a hospital and a bank, also belong to tho
establishment; also a ribbon factory, a ma
chine shop, a blacksmith's shop, shoemakers'
shops, a furniture factory, a tannery, a school
of design and engraving, and large machine
shop and steam works, and two thousand
acres of land. There are nine hundred chil
dren from two to twenty years of age, and
five hundred and eighty adults in twenty
three different establishments, entirely self
supporting. All this is blessed and guided
by ono head and ono largo heart. Tho capital
building, although tho work was all done by
members of the institution, cost sjjiL'Oi ,)()().
Sometimes tho whole town have given secu
rity for Herr von Werner.
MILLIONAIRES COMPLETING MONU
MENTS. From the X. 0. Jlepubliean.
The statement that tho New York million
aire, William 15. Astor, informed a company
of gentlemen at Saratoga the other day, that
he proposed completing tho Washington
Monument at his own expense, brings to mind
the fact that a similar patriotic action was
done some thirty years ago by two wealthy gen
tlemen, in relation to the Hunker Hill Monu
ment. Judah Touro, Esq., of New Orleans,
and Amos Lawrence, of Rostou, each gave
that object $10,000, which enabled the asso
ciation to complete the monument according
to the original design. That work, like tho
one at the nation's capital, had long stood ne
glected and unfinished, a reproach to the city,
State, and country, when these two noblemen
of nature did what was more for men of their
comparatively limited means than would bo
the completion of tho large work at Washing
ton by Astor, with his enormously overgrown
fortune.
About tho time Hunker Hill Monument was
completed, a festival was held, commemora
tive of the event, and tho names of Judah
Touro and Amos Lawrence were emblazoned
on a scroll upon tho wall, w hile tho President,
in mentioning their !ji'(),ooi) donation, gave
the following lines:
"Ames niKl Juilali, venerated names,
I'lit.ian ti iui'1 pruiiliet press tliee(iial claims ;
I.Ike KcncniuH coursers, rumilng uick ami neck,
Kacli aiils the work by jjivinn it u check.
t hrimiua and Jew, they carry out a plan,
for, though of dillereiit luith, each id la heart a
muu."
It may chance, however, that tho portion
of tho Washington Monument already built
will be torn clown; tho stones removed to
Jefferson Rarracks, near St. Louis, tho future
central capital of the nation, and tho monu
ment there will be completed by Astor, whoso
name will thus be handed down for centuries
in connection with a work which will com
memorate a nation's freedom as well as its
enterprise and good taste.
