The purchase of Cuba by the Unite

patchns from Washington inform us tin
a part of Minister Foster's mission hoi
is to aid in the negotiations to bo take
by our government and that of Spain fc
the transfer of Cuba , nnd that Sccrotar
Frolinghuyson is anxious to buy , Spai
is willing to part with the Island for tli
sum of $50,000,000 , which is a low figui
when compared with the price montionc
when the matter was talked of during tl :
administration of ProsidontGrant. Fifl
millions is , indeed , a small prlco for BUC
a productive island , but in buying it v
would bo obliged to purchase , a wholcna' '
supply of revolutions and insurrection
and it would perhaps cost us moro to tal
care of it than it ia really worth.

but it would not do for Iho republic of tl
United States. Wo hove all the torritoi
now that1 can bo clllciontly governed an
utilized. Wo want no territory sopa

When Columbus discovered Cuba mi
lions of natives inhabited the island bi
they lirwo all long since disappears
having boon exterminated by the Spai
iards. The present population is 1,500
000 , of whom nearly two-thirds m
whites , the remainder being ncgroo ;
inulattocs nnd Chinese. It is estimate
that there are 200,000 Spanyarda by birt
on the island , of whom 30,000 are troopi
10,000 are oflicors , and all the rest ai
moro adventurers or fortuno-huntor ;
The Spaniards inonopoli7o all the place
of honor and profit under the goveri
montas well as moro than half the lucn
llvo positions outside of ollicinl circles
The Cubans who number over 000,00
fill the places that nro not occupied I

professions and trades. The negroes an
colored people comprise one-third of tl
population. There uro from 30,000 '
40,000 Chinese all men , forming an in
portant element ia the laboring force i
the island.
The island of Cuba is 700 miles Ion ;
and varies in breadth from 30 to 1 >
miles. It is a most productive counti
in nil the exuberant vegetation of tl
torrid zone , and yields many of the del
cious and valued fruita of moro temporal
climates. It has n perpetual summo
and two crops are oft n produced in
single year. It is rich in tobacco , suga
coffee , fruita ; it hns millions of acrca <
foroata of the finest and most value
woods ; rich quarries of marble that hav
never boon worked ; nnd mines of golc
copper , tin , silver , iron , coal and aspha
turn are there only waiting dovolopmcul
The history of Cuba ia one of oppro :
aion nt the handa of Spaniards , nnd it i
no wonder that the Cubans are anxiou
; o throw off the allegiance to Spain an
3ocomo annexed to some other countrj
or oUo become independent. Wo aha
not bo surprised if the proposition t

Cubans need moro than any

nomont that Cuba becomes a republic ,
bearing the friendliest relations with our

irising Americans , with capital to invest

ho people will take now life.
FUSfOXAr IOWA ,
The democratic and greenback loaders
n Iowa have dctcrmiucd upon a fusion
or the coming campaign. The idea of
both parties is that by combining they
JM. carry the state , or at least elect a
dumber of congressmen. They base this
lope upon the results of the election of
ast year. The combined greenback and
ilomocratio votes on governor then was
only two thousand less than the republi
can candidate received , wMlo for supreme
court iudgo the majority for the republi
can candidate was only 817. . .On the
ogislatlvo ticket the result was apparent
y even moro encouraging to the combi
nation. It -possible Uioro to figure a
Bmall majority against the republicans ,
on the whole state.
Iris almost certain that the hopes of
the fusionUts will not bo realized. The
circumstances wore moro unfavorable
Republican succesi ia the camp >
of the fall of 1883 , than they can over

was not a pop.

urtyvra. disgusted with its course on
the question of prohibition , and another
partwai made bitterly hoity0.by the
deteat of Judge Day. Those circumsbn-
cos united to wolljthe Democratic
vote from 31 per cent , of all the bal.
ots cast in 1880 to 42
per cent , in 1683
The bitter nmmooities aroused by pro.
ubitiou agitation have been healed , the
objections to Governor Sherman will be
out of the way , and resentment over the
defeat of Judge day has subsided and
the presidential campaign is
sure to re
vive the enthusiasm of republicans
