Now that the the Spanish government ha begun to imprison resectable men in all parts of the island, mauy sympathizers and many who are working in the cities are leaving to join the rauks of the insurgent.; in the Held, preferring to die there rather than to run the risk of imprisonment. The financial and commercial situation of Cnba is growing worse every day and the raniah merchants are much discouraged. There is great enthusiasm among the Cubans.

Ilaynes and his monthly j ( publication, ' the Hawaiian, have always Iwen bitterly opposed to the new government. They are both subject j of ridicule in Hawaii. I account for j I Ilaynes' wild statements on two theo- : ries. He is piqued at the new govern- j ' ment and determined to revenge him- 1 self, and secondly, he Is probably iu the employ of royalists. "I admit the public debt has increased, and for two reasons. A system of exensive internal improvements has been carried on by the new government, exceeding anything previously attempted. Harbors have leen improve' 1 and hew wharves and quays have been built in anticipation of a great commerce from the opening of the Nicaragu cunal. Many new government buildings and school houses have been constructed, and the j militarv strength has been increased at great exitens. "Ex-Minister Thurston has denied over his sircature that he was opposed to the new government,, and asserts that he is heartily co-operating with it. "The present government Is increasing its popularity with everybody except Hie Kanakas. It represents a compact and earnest organization of t- e intelligent citizens of the islands Americans, English and Germans although admitted to be in the minority. There may be a change of the present form of government at some time, but there will never be a return to the Kanaka royalty. RUSTLING THE RASCALS.

fl WouM Select No Wan Hut llliurlf far rreHhlrnt. John C. N'ew, who was the righthand man of H.v President Harrison in 1SSS, and is so yet for all that is known to the contrary, has been interviewed an to the position of his chief. Since his statements have not been contradicted by tien. llurrison, or by any friend of his, It can bo taken for granted that they are "inspired." It seems, then, that the altitude of the ex-president is the conventional one of the priest who ti called on to be a bishop, who does not want the olllco and dreads its responsibilities, but who accepts it In obcdlonco to a solemn MMise uf duty. Gen. Harrison I not a candidate, says Mr. New. "He will not enter into the struggle for a nomination which could not bring hhn any more honor, but which would bring him more cares." Hut if he should bo called to active leadership by the party "ho will assume the duty as a trust from which his patriotism will not allow him to shrink." This is the langung-e of nn ancient Kornau rather than a modern liuliauian. If vox populi haul: "General, you must exchange the peaceful seclusion of your heme for the laborious turmoil of the white house," Mr. New says authoritatively he would pack up and go, and Mr. New hoi the opinion that vox populi issuing to do that very thing. Hesays the 'unmistakable drift of publie sentiment" is Harrison ward. Hut in order that that drift may not bo checked and turned in another direction Mr. New aunoiinees that "were Gen. Harrison's advice solicited lie would select neither Mr. .McKinley nor Mr. Uecd as the republican candidate for president." In other words, "public sentiment" is warned that if out of regard for Mr. Harrison's preference- for a private life he is uot called on to be a caudidate, it will not do to select cither of the two other men who are the leading aspirants for the nomination. While very unwilling to bj nominated, Gen. Harrison explains that it would be unsafe to nominate anyone else, and his friends are working hard to prevent the commission of such a blunder. What .Mr. New had to say on behalf of his chief could have beeu put in very few words. Gen. Harrison is anxious to be renominated and reelected. He is a candidate for the nomitiaion, and through his friends is workug hard to got it. llecogniziug the fact that Messrs. Keed and McKinley are at this moment his most formidable competitors he takes the trouble to point out what he considers their weak spots. One btands for a bill which cast the party two defeats and stands for nothing else. The other he alleges is responsible for the heavy appropriations, of the Fifty-lin, t congress. As an old politician Mr. New ought to have known that U would have been better to say Geu. Harrison yearns exceedingly for the nomination aud means to get it if he can rather than to print him as a Liucinnatus at the plow with his head turned over his shoulder looking impatiently for the arrival of the senators to inform him of his election and begging his friends to hurry thotu up.

It was the billion-dollar congre.vs of which .Mr. Uecd of Maine was speaker, and Mr. McKinley of Ohio was chairman of the ways and means committee, that passed the notorious high tarill measure known as the McKinley bill. Mr. liarrlsou was president of the United Mates, and it required his signature to make it a law. In the eleetiou following the McKinley bill, the democrats and low-tax men swept the cjuntry, notwithstanding that the manufacturers, who wete the onlyclass benefited by the law, contributed birf emiinaitrn sums for the success tif thehluh piotectioil cause. The republican journals, comment ing on the result of the election and the causes that led to it, universally admitted that the passage of the Mc. Kinley bill was the chief cause for the republican disaster. Those few persons who held the confidence of President Harrison openly stated that Mr. j Heed, as speaker of the house, had ! been warned by the president against ' the extravagant appropriations being made, and that Mr. McKinley, as chairman of the w ays and means committee, had been advised by the president not to build the tarill duties loo high. The president's advice and wishes were disregarded, and when the crushing rebuke of the people fell upon the administration and hurled it from power the friends of Uen. Harrison, if not the president himself, blamed Heed and McKinley for the misfortune to the party. Certain it is that from the election in lfctM up to the present time (ien. Harrison has had no love for cither Heed or McKinley. Therefore the statement of Mr. Now that were his (Harrison's) advice solicited he would select neither Mr. .McKinley nor Mr. Heed as the republican candidate for president will cause no surprise iu those circles where the fact'.i above noted arc so well known.

The republican niitionul committee continues to evploit Its bankrupt condition before the. people In otTerlng to locate the next national convention of tlmt party nt the city which will pay olf the committee's debt In addition to the regular bonus and donations. In one of these scandalous aniiouneumoiiti the committee's debt is said to bo forty thousand dollars, which has bet-u hanging over It since tho campaign of ls!This is the amount which Pittsburgh is Invited to raise ns tho price of making a bid for tho convention. A dispatch from that city in u republican paper says: "One of the conditions of the convention's coming here, it is reported, is that the iron and steel manufacturers pay oir the debt carried by the commit tec since thu last campaign. It is said that forty thousand dollars will cover tho amount owed." This declaration is us disgraceful us it is candid. It has been usual with the republican committees to "fry the fat" out of the protected manufacturers for the payment of election expenses. They are now to bo "fried" to pay for a "dead horse" to square up tho debt which "Tom" Carter, "l.et" Clarkson, "Hill" Campbell, "Oleic" Kerens, "yam" Fessenden, "Mike" De Young and their associates left outstanding at the closu of the profligate and disastrous republican campaign of lsU'-. It must be understood that this contribution of forty thousand dollars is required to pay the old debt of the committee. It is in addition to thu usual munificent sum contributed to pay the expenses of the committee, the convention and the favored individuals who enjoy the municipal hospitality of the place where the convention ia located. The proposition is plain. Any city desiring to make a bid for the con veution must agree to put up forty thousand dollars tirst, to pay the committees debt That is u condition precedent. The city making the mofit generous all around oiler in addition to this sum will get the convention. The Pittsburgh dispatch containing this scandal mentions the fact that Senator Quay is managing the transaction and extorting the contributions from the manufacturers. A party national committee is tho permanent representative of the party. Tho republican national committee is linancially bankrupt However it may be with that party, linancially, the committee represents its moral and political bankruptcy. Whether the committee can induce any city to pay its old debts and restore it to a condition of solvency is questionable. Hut whether that shall be accomplished or not the republican party's bankrupt soudition in morula and politics is irre trievableChicago t hronicle. NOTES AND COMMENTS.
