It has thrée times upset the majorities in congress within a few years. And the sugar senators would say so themselves if they hadn't got through talking. It is not patriotic THE PLATT NOISE. R. PLATT sang a song, and shortly thereafter called himself an ass. It has been said that Mr. Platt once had a fine tenor voice. The inference is that it has turned itself into a large, irregular and intolerable bass, Perhaps, however, he didn’t intend any music when he last sang. but merely a call for his friends to come up and declare themselves for your uncle Levi. THE COUNTRY’S INTELLECTUAL WEALTH. 1 1S A POOR STATE that hasn't a favorite son, The favored one may belong to either of the great parties, but he is there. In most ases he has been discovered already, and in the others he is putting his head up for recognition with a smile at the front of it that illuminates all the local skies. We haven't heard precisely from Kansas, but Mrs. Lease thinks it has a favorite daughter. HURROO! THE CAUSE of Ireland makes no progress. The contribution-box may be passed as persistently and the Irish members of parliament may quarrel as eloquently; but the English are not evicted and the snakes of landlords strike for their blood- money with all their old rapacity. But what the Irish lose in Ireland they gain in this republic; and at this time of year everybody wears the green and a pipe in his hat-band, and hurroos with all his might for the late Mr. Patrick.

And it is a pity. It ought to be the priv- ilege of conquerors to be gen- erous, especially where there is no question as to the entire loyalty of the conquered. THOSE CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS. HERE IS A KIND of Christian humility that is not consistent with self-respect. The old question of taxation without representation comes up with the differences between the English and American branches of the salvation army, and it is possible to imagine both a dishonorable peace and a Christian revolution. The Ballington Booths have a great property responsibility devolving upon them, and cowardice is not praise- worthy in either a Christian or a social organization. Is it not advisable to put more tea in Boston or New York harbor, wholly of the gunpowder kind ? FREE CUBA. E CUBANS deserve their independence. It would be a crime on the part of this government to refuse to recognize their rights as bellig- erents. The Spaniards are angry because of the slight justice done them by this government. “The impudence,” say they, “of the United States interfering in our glorious work of butchery!" Well, the butchery has gone on too long. It is time to be fair in behalf of justice. It is better than to be obsequious to barbarity that calls itself international law.
