The Cattail Question.
There ia at last, in relation to Cuban
affairs, something akin to a union of feeliug,
leading to a similarity in the main features
of the calls fur immediate action on fthe
part of the Government of the United
States, in the tone of the press here uud
elsewhere throughout thc country. And it
is surely to be desired that tho Washiugtou
authorities will, ere long, find time to give
the subject the moro serious attention it
demands. That Cuba mnst bc governed iu
consonanco with onr mutual interest is as
olear to the governing element in other na?
tions as it is to ourselves, and that the
ohanges necessary to the production of that
condition should be modo at a time wheu
thoy can be effected with the least possible
humiliation to any governmeut, is tho well
defined right in tho conduct of the case. It
is, therefore, in the light of present feeling,
passing events, aud general anticipation,
perfectly clear that there cannot possibly
occur a bettor juxtaposition of favorable
circumstances than exists ut present for
firm but rightful interference of tho Ameri
?can people, to protect their own and native
?Cuban interests from needless injury to
rightful change, and from altogether unne?
cessary bloodshed and loss of life to either
of the parties now iu armed coutentiou
there.
Wore Coba allied to Spaiu geographically,
or in any way rendering tho dominance of
Spanish Government there mutually bene?
ficial, an effective expression on either side
might well bo deemed unwarranted inter?
ference; but with tho conditions recognized
as they aro universally, and thc geographi?
cal condition auch as it is, tho natural inte?
rests of Americans are acknowledged to bo
such as to legitimately warrant action which
under other circumstances might seem im?
proper.
Any proper effort we may mako is in
behalf of a people of homogeneous indus?
tries, lying, really, within the circle of our
own boundary, and commercially, and me?
chanically, and socially identified with us;
while in all savo the enforcod duty of giving
sustenance to a stranger government, oarricd
on by stranger authority, entirely in tho in?
terest of a stranger geople, Cuba has
nothing whatever in common with Spain
not even blood to any effective extent, and
therefore desires to govern herself as shall
best advance her interests in common with
those with whom, in tho natural necessity
of ber position and other substantial pecu?
liarities, she is naturall}' allied.
Ours is the position of a nation allied !>y
every tie recognized as natural by nature it?
self, as well as by civilization, naturally in?
terested that un island lying within in our
own waters, and commercially interwoven
in our trade, shall be privileged to direct
its own affairs and destiny, as shall, in the
nature of her case, seem best calculated to
insure the enjoyment of her naturally pro?
ductive soil to the natives by whom it ia
cultivated, and by whom the system for the
use or disposal of their producta should bo
defined.

CASH ASSETS JANUARY 1, 1800, $1,171,000.
INCORPORATED 1804
Has been in operation but four years, during
which time it has assured a largor amount than
any Company in tho United States, during a cor?
responding period of existence. Ono of the chief
causes of its organization, wa? the forfeiture by
several Northern Companies of tho policies of
Southerners, during the war. The leading officers
of this Company protested against this injustice,
and on its consummation, withdrew and orga?
nized the "GLOBE MUTUAL," on principles moro
liberal and just than those yet adopted by any
other Insurance Company. In the event of death
in battle or in a duel, tho equitable value of tho
policy will be returned to the boird. ALL other
Companies forfeit it. In case of suicide, thc
FULL Policy is paid. No restriction on travel.
This Company bas, in its guarantee fnnd of
$500,000, an element of strength possessed by no
other Company. It offers tho entirely new feature
of Probability Endowment, which gives tho
largest possible sum for tho premium paid. No
other Company posso.-sos this feature. Insures
children of any age. In tho moderation of its
Sromium ratos,"in tho variety of its tables, in its
ividenda and in tho security offered insurers, it
invites comparison with any other Company.

remembered that this seat was contested by
Col. Jacob I*. Reed, (Democrat,) who re?
ceived a majority of 3,000 votes over H?ge;
but Congress, in tho exercise of a discre?
tion which smacks strongly of party rule,
decided not to hear thc claims of any one
who was in?ligible when a oandidato by
reason of political disabilities. Hence was
H?ge, who was tho only other candidate,
aeated. And if there ?H no other consolatiou
left us in this result, we mny at least enjoy
the satisfaction of knowing that his pre?
sence in Congress will necessitate a very de?
sirable vacancy on tho Supreme Bench ol

BEAUTY.-How to secure a olear, smooth,
beautiful, healthy skin, is the desire of all,
and this is within the reach of all. The
skin becomes discolored, rough, eruptive,
by tho virulent, unhealthy condition of the
excretions and insensible perspiration-that
is, secreted by its functions, and expelled
through ita pores. The skin is one of the
chief outlets for the expulsion of the hu?
mors or elements that the absorbent vessels
reject, to nourish and sustain the blood;
hence, theso irritant humors poison the
delicate skin, nod we bavo Pimples, Blotch?
es, Sores, either simple or malignant, ac?
cording to tho condition of tho perspiration
and humors secreted by the skin. Now,
tho application of cosmetics only hide theso
defects, and increase the irritant condition
of tho ukin. Use Heiuitsh's Queen's De?
light, and it will be found a perfect remedy
for these disorders. M24
