The President snd the Congress of the United State* are chosen to !o>k to the Interests of 70,000.000 of Americans. This to their chief business while they are In Office. It is a heavy responsibility and the very highest honor. All kind* of questions come up for their consideration and every one "f them should be considered carefully. deliberately, 'patriotically. < * th? M*hi of the interest of the people j whom they have to serve. I One of the question* presented for the J consideration of the President and Congress 1* the Cuban question. There are those In Congress and there are those out of It who desire to rush pell mell Into the Cuban question on *ome seemingly heroic line. They want to orate and thunder stud blucter. not stopping to think what hi right and just and prudent, or what it may coal Senator Klkln* grave utterance to a strong thought In his great speech in the senate the other day when he said that a hostile declaration against Spain might cost this country 1300.000,000 without firing a shot That was a startling though: put in the roost startling way. But the ?? not all that la to he con sldered. Untold misery goes with every war. killing, maiming, bankrupting.desolating. And even this is not all. If duty calls us to the Xront ive would not stop to count the coat. The first question to consider Is, What is our duty? Our duty is to guard our honor and our Interests first of all. Whatever we do or attempt to do for other peoples must bo done with due consideration for our elves. This country Is no knight-errant stashing around to pick & quarrel or even to defend somebody who needs defense. It may seem tike a selfish theory, but governments are established principally to look to tbe welfare of their own people. w-'? mtiJt mme TOC weiiare ui uum fter. There has been a great deal of talk about Cuba, and great occasion for great part of iL Wc know that Spain la conducting a savage warfare on the Island of Cuba. Cuba Hes very near to us and the trouble there Involves large American Interests. It Is a serious situation at our very door, and therefore a situation de| mandlng above all things the reign of reason. If Congress and the country will give the President a fair chance the country will not suffer In Its honor or Its Interests by the policy which he will advise as Che result of careful Investigation and the most tfcoughtful consideration. We fe have waited this long. Let us have a little more patience. The man ax tne ncaa <n aw cmuu.t branch of the government is an experl: enced man of public affairs, is courageous wise and prudent Let us trim him until he shall prove himself unworthy of the farther confidence of his countrymen. TIm Colored ftacaln Badnto. Some of the leading colored ra^n of "Washington have Just held a meeting, the forerunner of a series of similar meetings the object of wrhich is to Induce the colored people of Washington to deal with colored business men. banking and other institutions managed by colored men, and to do their trading wHti men of their own race In preference to white men.

Things are Retting at white heat In Spain, and the dou are getting each other by the ears. Thi.i is literally true, the accomplished duke of Tetuan having given vent to the exuberance of hla feelings by boxing the ears of the distinguished opposition Senator Comas. We carry debate to very great lengths in this country, and in the dlacussion of public questions we occasionally become very warm In the region of the collar, but ft Is not tho habit of the American cabinet officer to box the ears of the Ameri can senator to emphasize the disagreement between the two eminent gentlemen. U 5>?w:k\ i<oI')tetAQ<L^ai!t5r^v'nv ar* tn I VSKiZ&KSrZ&t&tP**;:? Everything to at sixes and seven?. The policy of the government 1* enormously costly to the people and wretchedly unsuccessful. The country Is going down hill steadily and rapidly. The people are not prosperous and their leaders cannot lead them. Spain is distinctly "in the sere and yellow leaf." It has had a good deal of past, is having a terrible and inglorious present, and to the eye of faith has no j future to speak of. I Illiberal Cambridge. The cable brings the announcement' that the great Knglish university of Cambridge has voted against conferring degrees on women. This is very illiberal action, unworthy of Cambridge or of any other institution of learning. The degrees which mark scholarly accomplishment should be given tf? tho?e who deserve them, without rt-garil to race, sex | or any other condition* If a woman proves herself worthy of a degree in any branch of learning. Cam bridge or any other educational insuui- 1 tlon should feel Itself honored by confer- j ring that degree. Some of the fore mart 1 Institutions do confer degrees on women, and they lose nothing In standing by con- j ferring them. The fact of a degree Is not the important thing for anybody, man or woman, j and of those emitted to a degree, to be de- 1 nied it on any account. Is no loss. The requirements which entitle to a degree being there, it will be possible to go through life with a reasonable degree of happiness, the degree being withheld. PmImI Coavtnlmeri. It is good policy for the government to provide the people with all the postal conveniences that the revenues will allow. Under the former administration it waa held that there were too many postoffice* in the country and that none should be established closer than three miles apart. The present administration will pursue a more liberal policy. Postoffices are to be established wherever It is shown that for convenience a new office is ri-aiiired. This, as we understand it. la without regard to the three mile limit idea. The right plan is to put a poatofllce where there i* need of it. This plan will be of great benefit to rural communities, and certainly people living outside of the cities have a right to all the postal facilities that may be given to them at reasonable coat. Every part of the country helps to make it and support it and should be treated with due consideration. A Charleston dispatch in the Pittsburgh Sunday Dispatch predicts a warm four cornered Democratic fight for the United States senatorwhip should West Virginia be carried by the Democracy next year. The contestants are to be Col. John T. McGraw, ex-Governor MacCorkle. ex-Governor Wilson and the present Incumbent, Mr. Faulkner. They may aa well save their powder, for there will not be a Democratic majority In the legislature. Should fate decree it that way, however, the fun would be fast and furious and highly entertaining to the galleries. A coolness 1* said to exist wtwwn rne Emperor V/MUm and his royal uncle, the prince of Wales, because they cannot agr?*e on the eastern question. It Is said that the prince has openly InmilteJ the emperor by the withdrawal of the Britannia from racing until the contest f??r tho queon'a cup during Cowes week Is settled. Thus has a sporting event been made to serve Its part In a great diplomatic controversy. The Democrats In the senate have come to the sensible conclusion not to filibuster against the tariff bill, and to permit Its friends to pass It without unnecessary delay. This is the wise coutsc. The country's patience has already been sorely tried and tho man or party that seeks to delay the effort of the Republican party to make rock! It* promises will bo held responsible at the first opportunity. If the President had told the i"?nat? that ho had a Cuban policy ahd stated what It was. that body might not have fdreed th'?* Morgan resolution through and created such a scare In executive cirri. at ih?? capital.?Register.

It would be of immense benefit t?? him to have the advantage of the advice ami superior Judgment of that astute orgun.

LETTER FROM THE SAVIOB. 4 Cariosity of MUuinrr Said to be In XtllflUM, Among the countless curiosities of literature which the search for centoniital relics has brought to light, a particularly curious one has Just been published In the Mason, <Mlch.)( News. It purports to be nothing l<**s than a literal translation of a letter written by Christ himself, and found eighteen mile.-* from Iconlum sixty-three years after the crucifixion, the original Hebrew copy of which Is said to bo still In possession of a certain family In Mesopotamia. The copy furnished the News was brought from (England by Mrs. Herbert, of Plainwell, sixty-three years ago, and was extremely old when I It came into her possesion. In fact. It crumbled to pieces with age, and Its owner, who sincerely Ix-lleves It to be the word of God. set about Joining the I tiierea together, a task which took lier weeks of persevering labor to accomplish. As for the letter Itself. It Is a simple exhortation to keep the Sabbath; ^WlertpJijfiandmenta; to "fast for m-v - in every year, beginning with Uood Friday;" to cause them that are baptized to go to church and receive the sacrament*. And be made members of the church; together with other good advice, such as a modern pastor might write a member of his flock without any pretense that It was of divine origin. Doubtless, however, that which led to Its having been so long and sacredly preserved?almost worshiped as u fetich?is the concluding paragraph, which runs thus: "Remember, he that hath a copy of this letter, written with my own hand and spoken with my own mouth and keepetti it without publishing it to others, shall not prosper; but he that publishes it to others shall be blessed of me. and though his sins be In number as stars of the sky, and he truly believes In ine, they shall be pardoned, but If he believe not ill me and my commandments, I will send my plagues upon him and upon hie children, and upon hit cattle; and whosoever shall have a copy of this letter In his house nothing shall hurt them, neither lightning, pestilence tior thunder, and If a woman t?e In labor and a copy of this letter be about her, and she firmly put her trust in me, she *hall safely be delivered. You shall have no tidings of me but the Holy Scriptures until the Day of Judgment. All goodness, happiness and prosperity shall be In the house where a copy of this letter is to be found."

BOTH RATIONS BANKRUPT. How will Qme* Pay the New War Dtbt Now Incurred t Chicago Chronicle: Both Greece and Turkey are literally bankrupt. Their \ debts are far in excess of their ability I to pay. and both nations have default* ed In the public Interest. The debt of Greece, with a population of 3.200.000. Is $1*5.000.000. The debt of New York City, with a little less population. in $111,000,000. th<- wealth of ? single ward In New York exceeds that of all Greece. Th* debt of Chicago. with 1,750.000 population, is onefourth that of Greece. The Grecian debt la 175 per head of its population. In 1S94. the list year for which returns are publish ed. Greece paid but 30 per cent of the Interest due on K>ld loans. Its bonds are held principally in England and Germany. The revenues of Greece amount to 120.000,000 a year,' and until the war came the expenses were ll.UW.VW less a > ? a.. This opened a fair prospect for th? growth of bettor public credit. Hut the Cretan trout)lei and the war have caused expenditure* gre.ltly In excess of the revenue. The bonds that were worth from twenty-eight t<> thirty-four cents on the dollar two year? ago, are now worth nineteen to twenty-two cents on the dollar, as quoted on the London 6tock exchange. In finance, the same as In politics and war, Greece has been betrayed by Europe. The Hdm <'f Lord Byron apply more sharply. If possible, to the present situation of Greece than to that of seventy-flve years ago: Trust not for freedom to the Franks? They have a king who buya and sells; In native swords and native ranks. The only hope of courage dwells. Hut Turkish force and Latin fr^ud Would break your snield, however broad. But the financial condition of Turkey is still worse than that of Greece. Its debt is tl.000.000.000. n.?t Including the indemnity of S100.000.000 levied by Russia at the close of the war of 1877, payable In lifty year*! Of this sum. singular as It nxiy appear, J30.000.000 was borrowed last year. Hut the intereaton this additional deb: was secured by a mortgage on the customs. Not a dollar could have tw??n obtained as a kvin without security. Th.- Turkish revenues amount to $S4,000,000. which Is $18,000,000 a year leas than national expenditure. There Is a deficit every year, and corruption pervades every part of the revenue system. The population of the Ottoman empire in Europe ana Asia is uuuui 22.000.000. n*rn?lo'a Good Fori nor. It Is better to be born lucky than rich. When Mr.Barnato was at Johannesburg > last year, says the London Figaro, he j determined to go to the races. "You'll j only lose your money." said hia friends, warnlngly. "Well. I won't take any with me," he replied, "and then I shall be all right." Arrived at the racecourse he saw a man with a peanut and fruit stall and asked him what he'd take for it. "Two hundred pounds." was the reply. "Done with you." said Barnato. "Well, wher?'s the money?" a*ked the man, as Harnato was proceeding to appropriate th*? stall. "Oh! I'm Mr. Harnato. It'll be all right." "Well, that's good enough for me." Within an hour llarnato had sold the contents of the stall for ?600. He paid I the man his ?200. staked the balance on j tho ruiv?* and won ?12?000 before the j end of the day. Perhaps It is not generally known now Mr. Barnato came to be married. The beginning!* of his fortune arc wild to have been due to the prudent purchase of diamond* in South Africa. These he deposited with a certain bar maid in Klmberiey. After a time he said to her: "Give mo my diamonds. I'm off for Europe. When 1 return we'll get marr,"I think we'll be married first," nhe replied, and those were the only terms on which he could get back his diamonds.
