I imiii t'nrrnt Toplon Compiled Kvery lnr lor the Evening Tles;rali. POSITION Of.TTIK ADMlNNTK.VriON ON THE ri;i5AN QyKSTION. From the X. 1'. IlcrahK Ah Hie time is niirniu:liin when the policy of the adiniuiHtratiot) with regard to Cuba will he wade jiuhlie in the l'rosidenfR iucsnaf,'o to Congress', there isniit irully some nnxioty to know, imrlictiliirly anmng the large clasn of otir eitizeiiH Mho warmly sympathize with the CuhuiiH. Mhat tho rrcnil.'nt will nay and what lie will recommend. Wo think the informa tion mc have received will enable ns to satisfy the anxiety of the people ou this tmbjoct. The message of the President will be the direct expression of his own Belli imcntH and views, and we shall see none of the red tape stylo or diplomatic subterfuge of the State Department iu it. The President, we believe, will first state the course and action of the Government on the Cuban question. We shall know, pro bably, the facts relative to the ofterod media tion of the United States with Spain for the independence of Cuba through General Sickles nnd whether any other agencies have been employed. We shall learn, no doubt, what 'the motive was that inspired this ofler, the manner in which the friendly offer was received, the state of the case as it stands at present, and the prospect of any mediation or negotiation being practicable in future. Then the President will, we think, vindicate the action of tho Government, in enforcing the neutrality laws in the Beizure of Cuban expeditions and vessels, as well as in tho case of the Spanish gunboats. lie will also indi cate, we believe, his own views as to what the future course of the Government should bo, and leave tho matter with Congress, either for special legislation or for an expression of opinion for the guidance of tho administra tion. There can be no question as to the sym pathy of General Grant for the Cubans and as to' his desire to see the Cuban revolution successful. He has frequently expressed this. It accords with his well known republican sentiments, with his love of republican insti tutions, with his broad views of American policy on all American questions, and with his desire to extend the power and gran deur of this great republic. We saw in the case of the Maximilian empire and Trench occupation of Mexico, when he would have marched an army across the Uio Grande and driven the intrudors out, bow broadly national and bold he was on a great American question affecting the stability and progress of republican in stitutions on this continent. Looking at his whole public history, his character and ex 1: pressed views, there is every reason to be ieve he is heartily in favor of Cuban inde pendence, lie has strictly enforced the neu trality laws because it was his duty, as the Executive of the republic, while he regre ttod the necessity of thus indirectly favoring Spanish despotism and hindering the cause of republican liberty. Nor is he insensible to the sentiment of the American people which calls for the recognition of the Cubans. He has had the hope, too, that the SSpauish Government would appreciate the moderation of this ceuntry and would listen to the advice and overtures he has offered. We think that had the lamented General Rawlins, or any other high-toned American patriot, been at the head of the State Department, instead of Mr. Fish, belligerent rights would have been accorded to the Cubans or their independence acknowledged before now. Having confidence in the patriotism and wis dom of his Secretary of State, General Grant was not willing to act even upon his own views or wish, though he is firm and bold enough to do to when a crisis comes or any question culminates. The Cuban question has come to a point when we believe the Pre sident feels it will be proper for the Govern ment to act decisively in support of the Cuban cause, and that his forthcoming message to Congress will show this. We understand there is a great pressure made upon the Government, and especially upon the Secretary of State, by a secret ser vice of Spanish agents in Washington, to pre vent the President touching the Cuban ques tion in his message. But all this, there is good reason to believe, will prove unavailing. No doubt a great deal of Spanish money is being used in this country, poor as the Spanish Government is. The prize at stake is a valuable one. The Spanish Regency has re fused a hundred millions of dollars for Cuba. Spain has drawn forty millions or more of revenue a year from the island. An army of hungry Spanish officials have fed upon the unfortunate Cubans. Of course Spain would willingly spend large sums upon agents in this country corrupt Americans and others to prevent the United States recognizing the Cubans and to enable her to hold on to the island. Of course the Socretary of State would not be influenced directly or know ingly bv Snanish cold, but mav he not indi rectly and unwittingly? It has been ru mored and a Boston newspaper gives cur rency to the rumor that Mr. Fish s son-in-law receives large fees from the Spanish Gov ernment for some service. As lare a sum as forty thousand dollars is named. This cen tleman, when he was Private Secretary to President Pierce, dabbled in the Nicaragua land and emigration scheme under Colonel Kinney, and, therefore, seems to have a taste for such outside speculations. We do not charge Mr. Fish's son-in-law with anything. and he may get forty thousand dollars, or anv other Bum, for fees from the Spanish Govern ment in his profession as a lawyer: nor do we say the Secretary of State has been indirectly Influenced by him. But we state it as a rumor. and only remark that it seems to be a curious circumstance in connection with the persistent opposition of the State Department to the recognition of the Cubans. Mr. Fish is a weak, timid man, and no doubt is easily in fiueneed by those near to him, though he may be higuly honorable ana patriotic nimseit, He is unfit to handle questions of great na tional policy where comprehensive views and boldness of aotion are required, as in this one concerning Cuba. We hope and believe the President and Congress will take the mat ter out of his hands. The whole civilized world outside of Spain looks to the United States for a solution of the Cuban difficulty. Any other great power with the interests we hare in securing the independence of Cuba would have recognized the Cubans long ago. OvAr a vear has passed since that people have struggled Buooessfully against the power of Spain, and they are stronger to-day thau ever. They are entitled to recognition, and it would i. an Averlastiniz disgrace to the American re public if our Government should not speedily recognize mem. . DEMOCRATIC LOGIC. Some of the Democratio speakers iu the present canvass have discovered certain wou derful mares' nests. Unable to deny that tho present administration reduced the uationul debt during the first seven months of its I holding office by the enormous sum of $.-7,00,(i!0; that it is still continuing to re duce the debt nt the rate of nearly or quite 100, ()(, 000 per annum: that at this rate the m hole debt would be extinguished in fifteen years, while with a decrease of taxes by Sjt.M),(H !(,)( M) per annum, it would be swejeLir in twenty-throe years unable, we say, to deny these facts, the Democratic orators are finding fault with the pleasant prospects thus opened to the country, and doing their best to cloud them. We are told, for example, that a considera ble part of the surplus revenue comes from tho sale of war material by the Government. Well, supposo for a moment that it does. Is that any reason for ceasing to sell the old iiintcriu'l? One of the best features of Stan ton's administration of the War Bureau was the promptness with which he mustered out men and sold off material at the end of tho rebellion, thus bringing down tho war ex penses with a run from three millions a day to less than a tenth of that sum. General Grant, in succeeding kim, pushed the same policy still further, as in turn did Secretaries Sehofield and Rawlins; and the same was true of tho navy. At that time there was an outcry that we Mere going too fast in reduc tion that we might need the material; but we have not needed it yet, and are not likely to for some time to come. Had we hold on to the men and material, we should have lost both the expense of their keeping and the in terest on the money received from sales of goods. We should have totally lost, besides, many of tho goods themselves, which were perishable such as commissary stores, cloth ing, medical stores, and the like; while of others we should have lost a great part of their value by better or cheaper articles of the same nature being introduced, in time, into the market. To represent that this war material has been sold off, simply in order to produco a lictitious idea ot economy, is absurd. It was sold, and is now selling, as the propor mode of getting rid of what will not pay the ex pense of storing on a mere possibility of fu ture use. Moreover, the great bulk of these sales were effected under the lest adminis tration, not under the present; and yet, with less current revenue from this source, the gain in general surplus income of Grant s ad ministration has been remarkable. Tho only real force in the argument is, that this source of income must ono day cease. This is very true: but that day has not yet come, and when it does come, and we have no more war astets to help to defray the-war expenses, there will be more than enough to balance the loss from this source in new ways. If we are asked iu what ways, we will mention two in illustration. In the first place, the surplus of last year (which was ts,ooo.()0()) was reduced by a payment of !jjIS,Oort,fM')rt on extra bounties, and one of $ 7, ."00,000 gold (or, .i!i,.-00,0()0 currency) for the purchase of Alaska. Here we have an amount of s27,."iOO,ooo in these tM'o items alone, which wo shall gain each year hereafter; nnd hence these must be added to our account of probable receipts and our surplus revenue for each succeeding fiscal year. In the second place, the careful calculation by Mr. Commissioner Wells shows that the average annual increase of elasticity in the revenue arising from tho regular growth of the country is fully $!.", 000, ooo And, in deed, whoever notes the rapidity with which both North and South have recovered from the prostration of the war, the prospects of the crops, and the growth of population and 'power to pay, will not account this an ex travagant estimate. Upon the whole, therefore, wo do not feel alarmed at Dem6cratio discoveries of the sources of our surplus revenues, or at their despairing auguries for the future. We weathered the war and arrived at honorable peace, when the Democratic policy was capi tulation, and we shall weather the financial storms and come to prosperity, though the T i ,i 1 - 3 if juemocrauc policy ue repudiation. ACCIDENTS ON STEAMERS. From the Chicago Tiilmnr, The appalling disaster to the Stonewall, on the Mississippi, whereby some two hundred and ten lives have been lost, enforces anew a lesson we ought by this time to have fully learned. Congress has entire cuarge ot mat ters pertaining to commerce and navigation, and the means whereby such "accidents" as that wechronicled on Saturday can be pre vented are wen Known ana easuy proviueu. In the first place, nothing is better settled than tnat no Bteamer or otner vessel tor transporting passengers should be permitted to make up her cargo of combustibles, such as oils, hay, high wines, kerosene, petroleum, terpentine, gunpowder, cotton in bales, quick lime, or other extra hazardous substances. A f earful category of such catastrophes occurred during the war from carrying powder in pas senger steamers, or passengers in powder steamers, as the case might be. .three or four appalling disasters occurred on the Ohio since that time lrom ttie presence ot petroleum. And now a few score bales of hay send two hundred passengers into eternity- Moreover, the Naval Committee, which sat two years ago to oonsider the means of saving life on board ot vessels at sea, or on our lakes and rivers, during such catastrophes. reported in favor of ono or two plans, which were lully tried and tested in New xork har bor with complete satisfaction. We reinem ber iu particular the settee-life-boat, con structed by John Foster, of Sandwich, Mas. sachusetts, Superintendent of Light-houses for the Atlantic coast, which, in its ordinary position, would not be observed to be other than a very substantial, but plain and inex pensive, sieamooat sola. Jiul in one minute it could be turned into a ticht life-boat. incapable of sinking, warranted to hold eight persons, with their provisions, and to carry them any reasonable distance in moderately still water. Even in a gale, four persons would bo as safe iu it as" in an ordi nary yawl. The committee reported unani mously in favor of this, and one or two other contrivances, and, had Congress acted upon their recommendation, by requiring all our inland passenger steamers to bo provided with one such settee to every six passengors, the two hundred and ten passengers by the Stonewall would have been wholly, or in great part, saved. The absence of ull provision for saving life on such steamers lossens the traffic and profits of tho steamers themselves, by compelling travellers to prefer railroads to steamers wherever practicable, though they are less commodious aud comfortable. The enforcement of any plan which will insure the safety of passengers, w ithout encumber ing a steamer by life-preservers and boats, w hich are of no use except duriug an acci dent, but by requiring their seats to be con- structed in such a manner that every seat on the steamer can bo metauiorphosod into a life boat at u moment's notice, would add largely to the business and profits of the steamers a will as the safety of the public. MR. GLADSTONE AND HIS PRISONERS. from the titfuburg Ccfnmerciol. The foreign telegraph has brought us a synopsis oi a letter irom Mr. Gladstone, ad dressed to the Town Council of Dublin, in which he returns thanks in his own name and in that of his colleagues in' the Oblnpt for the approval given to the couro of the Gov ernment in regard to Irish affairs. In this letter the Prime Minister also renders an ac count of tho reasons which induced them to roluse amnesty to the Fenian prisouers. J'-y the same despatch wo limrn that thn Dublin Amnesty Association are as little satisfied as ever with the refusal of purdon to the patriots, nnd that ngitaliou on the subject is to be kept up. In order to render it more effective, loenl associations nre to be foinmd all over tho island. One is thus reminded that Daniel O'Connell once lived nnd that he. being dead, his influence is still operative. Agitation was his secret, and by him and his coadjutorits arts were wondorfully deve loped and carried to perfection. l ew people in this country feel called upon to champion England, or to take her side in regard to any question in which we are not ourselves concerned. Still fewer are con scious of any temptation to take sides with England in a case in which Ireland happous to be her antagonist. American sympathies almost universally flow out towards the native island ot so many of our citizens. The eft'eot is also partly due to the prevalent belief, surely well founded among us, that the Irish have been misgoverned aud oppressed by the X.11UU. So strongly indeed do those considerations appeal to us in behalf of the weak against the strong, that we' sometimes fall into sins of partiality not very creditable either to our sense or our sensibility. At one time they prevent us from seeking correct information Hi)out the matter in dispute; at another time they operate like a cargo of iron upon the ship's compass. In the case of these Fenian prisoners, for instance, we are afraid the sympathies and even the prayers of many good-hearted and rather intelligent people are misdirected. Happily, we see no indications at present that the subject is likely to be a practical one with us or that anything more tangible than sympathy or prayers is demanded of Americans; and it would bo quite gratuitous cruelty in us to remonstrate against such airy co-operation. Jiut, it an attempt were made to convert tliesej ethereal weapons into others likely to be more effective; if our Government were again called upon to assume tho charac ter of intercessor in behalf of the men now "pining in British dungeons,-' it would be well, we think, for the citizens to comprehend the enormity of the crimes of which these miscreants were found guilty. It might also tend to mitigate anxiety, ard to suggest probabilities of justice being done the prisoners, it we recollected the conspicu ous facts in the career of the English Premier whoso letter we referred to above A Tory und a High-churchman in the beginning and for several years after he entered public life, he is now a liberal minister. The changes which have brought him into his present posi tion were gradually aud slowly made, and it has been manifest to all England, even to his enemies, that he gave up one stronghold of prejudice aud bigotry alter another in obe dience to the constraining power of reason and justice. Those who can remember a few years back, know that during tho troubles in Naples, when all England was agog and indignant about the horrible prisons in which tlie king kept his enemies, Mr. Gladstone went to the place, and by personal inquiry gathered the facts which warranted his own Governwent to interfere in behalf of the men confined and tortured. The drift of all this is, we think, that when such a man says that he would gladly release the incarcerated Fenians if lie thought it expedient to do so, we on this side of the Atlantic ought to believe him. W'e may, without self-reproach, leave him to deal with the question. PERILS OF THE SEA. The Alnrlnn Losnps) tor October and the Pre vious iiionma oi me i ear.
