IT is getting more evident, day by
day, that neither Turkey nor China has
any real Government. They can neither
protect their own people nor foreigners.
This is a matter to which the civilized
world cannot be Indifferent. 1t is q
scandal to Europe that the ignorantand
besotted oabal which assumes to rule at
Constantinople is allowed to continue its
travesty Oh Government. 1t matters a
great deal less who gets the country that
it does that massacres of Christians and
missionaries should be stopped. The
same is true of China. Itmay be neces-
sary that they either be absorbed by
other countries, which will give the peo-
pie protection, or that they be placed
under protectorate of several countries.
Anything is better than the present con-
dition.

many hard knocks and as much tough service
as fell 10 any man who went in with the

charge he decided that he could do better than
return to the Old IorkState. and, after prospect.

tied, OF all the places in the country, at Amelia
Court House. Va just what induced him TO
make this selection is not known, for moro
unattractive region for an energetic young
man could hardly be found. But he was of the
kind which makes opportunities, if they can
not find them. After casting his shrewd eyes
around, Comrade Virgins concluded that there
was money in an old soapstone quarry near
the place. if it was worked right and he pro-
ceeded to work it right. He has built up big
business for bis apstone-scentiicall known

hundreds of uses for 1t, and Comrade Virgins
no more lets one Of these escape him than he
would a fat pig on the march to the sea. He
also discovered that there were remarkable
medicinal qualities in fine spring near his
quarry, and he has built UP good business in

IN the days of James G. Blaine,
Hamilton Fish or William NJ. Evarts
France would have been brought up
very sharply for her conduct in Made
gascar. Under some pretext or an
other she has laid claim to that large
and ropulous island and is now trying
to reduce it to possession. Upto this
time we have not recognized her claims,
but continue on terms of amity and
friendship with the Queen and her
Government. There has been no rea-
son developed why we should not. But
France has chosen to act in very ugly
way to all of our citizens and represent
atives who have not espoused her cause.
Ex-Consul Waller has been arrested,
tried by court-martial and sentenced
to 20 years imprisonment. We
have not been informed as to the
reasons for this extraordinary and cruel
punishment. One of our gunboats en-
tering Madagascar port did not salute
the French, but the representatives of
the Queen. rs was proper, and the
French took great umbrage at this. At
another time they assaulted and insulted
one of our boats crews carrying the
American FLAG. 1t would seem that
this is an occasion for the State Depart
ment to act energetically and promptly.
So far, all that is known of Mr.. Walters
offense is that he had received an inn
portant concession from the Queen,
which the French wanted for their
citizens.

The news from Cuba continues ex-
asperatingly uncertain. The Spaniards
send out news of victories over the in
surgents," "repulses of assaults, with
great loss to the brigands," etc, and the
Cubans vie with them in reporting sue
cesses Not one of these stories has the
earmarks of real news. There is enough
general information, however, to warrant
the belief that the Cubans are more than
holding their own. They have not lost
any territory or suffered any serious de-
feat, in spite of the extraordinary efforts
made against them. On the other hand,
they seem TO be gaining in aggressive
ness, while the SpaniarCls are losing con-
fidence The opposition in Spain among
the common people in Spain to sending
their sons to die of uomito in Cuba daily
gets stronger, and the Kingdom 5 finances
cannot stand the strain Of the expensive
war. Capt.-Gen. Campos hassubstantlally
confessed failure; and his removal is re
garded as certain. As lie was universally
esteemed as the ablest man in Spain
for this work, this is regarded as
great victory for the Cubans, and gives
them more hope than anything else. 1t
is reported that the Cubans have organ
lied Provisional Government, with
capital in an inaccessible part of the ISL
and, and will shortly appeal to the Gov
ernments of the world for recognition as
belligerents. Ii they do this they will
at once be recognized by Haiti, Santo
Domingo, and some of the South Amer
lean States, and this will give them the
right to fly their flag upon the high seas
and have their own ship. The greatest
of Spanish statesman. Senior ri y Mar
gall, is out with a statement that the
only way to end the Cuban war is to
give the Cubans complete selfgovern-
ment, as an integral part, not depend
ency of Spain. The main trouble with
this is that the ,Cubans Will not believe
in its sincerity. They have before re-
ceived concessions while under arms,
only to have them substantially nullified
when they laid down their arms.

A MODEL CAMP.

The Secretary Of War has ordered
the establishment of a model modern
militarycarnp on the battlefield of Chick
amauga. The camp will be garrisoned
by two companies from Fort Thomas, at

Salem Nights, a Major for gallantry at
Fredericksburg, Lieutenant-C Colonel for

LOUISVILLE TEMPERATURE.

As everything that relates to Louis
vile is now of great interest to the com
rades, we are glad to give place to the
following, in which comrade Bereman
shows that he is on intimate terms with
the isothermal line, and can explain its
pecularities with great clearness.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: / clip the
following from YOUR issue Of Aug %:
Louisville claimsa Summer temperature
from two to five degrees lower than that of St
Paul, Chicago, Cleveland New York, Phila-
t,clphia and Washington. Just how she
twists tire isothermal lineto account for this
we do not know. She claims it, however.
The claim is natural and just one For
the last 30 years | have observed every Sum-
nierttliat the quotations Of the thermometers
at St Paul and Memphis give about five de
grcss higher temperature on the same day at
st Paul than mt Memphis. . This difference is
accounted for, think, as follows During the
Summer season the sun Is at its northern
dcclmatiUn--that is, on June u or - it is
perpendicular at the tropic Of Cancer We,
therefore. who live in the high ATTITUDES, see
the sun rise IN the northeast and set in the
northwest BY an examination of 10 alma
macs for any year, you will observe that the
sun rises for ST. Paul an hour earlier and sets
an hour later than it does for the people at
Memphis. Hence, iorany given day in June,
the sun shines two hours longer at the former
place than at the latter and the nights for
cooling are, OF course, two hours shorter.
This difference of two hours more sunshine at
St. Paul, with two hours less time in the
night to cool off than at Memphis, WILL in
my judgment, account for the excessive heat
in these northern latitudes-J. A. BERE-
MAN, Mount Pleasant, Iowa.

Duty TO THE STATE.

| THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE has always
had a very warm side for Theodore
Roosevelt. He is brainy, be is intensely
in earnest, and he is thoroughly Ameri-
can. He is a veryowealhy man, and as
blne-blooded as any American can claim
to be, but he has net for an instant acted
as though these facts separated him IN
the least from his tellow-citizens From
his boyhood he has taken an active
share in the life around him, and no I'M
known and poor youth has worked
harder to make place for himself. He
has always been active in the real work
of politics, without any of the dilletant-
ism of many rich young men, who aim
to play the part of young Engllshmen
who think they arc born into "the gov
erning class" He went out West and
roughed it successfully with the cowboys
OH ranch, which he still owns, and
which he has made n model property.
Recently he told an interviewer what
he would do with the rich idlers if he
had the power:
4 t...a Il a1,,,~
and work ont an ideal of mine-the Theory
nf tine duty Of the leisure class 10 the com
munity. ] have tried to do 1t by example,
and it is what | have preached first aud
foremost, 10 be American, heart and soul, ami
TO 90 III with any person, Needless OF any
thing but that persan's qualification. For
myself, I'd work rs quick beside Pat Dugan
as with the last descendant OF a PATRON;
itiliterily makes no difference to me 50 long
as the work is good and the man IS in earnest.
One other thing, Id like to teach the young
man OF wealth that he who has not got
wealth owes his first duty tn his family, but
he who has means owes his first duty TO the
State. Ii is ign0ble to Try TO hemp money
on money. j wonld ;prt ach the doctrine OF
work to AL, and 10 the men OF wealth the
doctrine of urTemunerdtiye work.
This is the right doctrine. No man
has "a moral .lightto be idle. No man
has the right to separate himself from
the community, be indifferent to its con-
dition and development, and contribute
nothing to its betterment. As in time
of war, it is his highest duty to fight for
it; so in time of peace similar duty is
incumbent upon lIim1to contribute his
share to making the community in some
way better and more prosperous. He
should find some way, in which he can
be useful to his fellow-men, and follow
it with industry and rgourage. A rich
loafer is in general more reproachable
than n poor one, because, as a rule,
his light is greater. There are thou
sand ways he can mike himself useful,
even if he does net care to make money.
There are social, political, and scientific
problems of the highest importance TO.
the welfare of the community which he
can work out Or, at least, help to work
cut. His employment at anything will
be a most Wholesome example, if no
more.

The Navy Department has done
wisely in ordering that none but Ameri
can citizens Shall be employed in the
Drafting Division. The propriety of this
is SO apparent that it is wonder that
it was not done long ago. 1t should go
still farther and order that none but
American citizens should be employed
in any Division, and this example should
be followed by all other Departments.

As TO WHISKY.

Iffolks will drink whisky they should
take care that they drink the very best.
Louisville Inns the reputation of produc-
ing finer whisky and more of it chan
any other city in the world. There are
sc distilIeries in the Fifth Internal
Revenue District, of which Louisville is
the center. These make about 15,000,-
600 gallons of fine whisky year, and
use about 100000 bushels of corn, be-
sides rye and malt. This means a pay
ment to the Government in Internal
Revenue of s16,50o0O0 year, and as
the liquor always demands high, and in
many instances fancy, prices the amount
Of money involved in it is immense.
