SPANS campaign in Cuba is costing
her fully 100000 a day. which would
be severe drain upon a prosperous
country, while Spain is one of the
poorest in Europe. She is now appeal
ing to England to help her out with
substantial pecuniary assistance, on the
ground that she is also fighting the
battle to preserve Great Britain's West
Indian possessions from the ravenous
United States. She asserts that if Cuba
becomes free, and is annexed to the
United States, she evil become another
California IN prosperity" and this will
induce Jamaica and other islands to
want to follow her example, and become
part of the United States. This is a
queer argument for mother country to
make, but then Spain always was queer.

FALL AND WINTER WORK.

.Ie. every comrade make two things
prominent features of what he proposes
to occupy himself with this Fall and
Winter. Let him resolve TO do some
good missionary work for The Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE, and also for the
Grand Army of the Republic. The
best way that he can exert himself to
develop public opinion in favor of vet
Grams rights, and of National justice
toward the veterans and their Deepen
dent ones, is by extending the circulation
of The NATIONAL TRIBUNE. Every
where that it is read it builds up friends
for the veterans Every number con
tains something that gives the reader a
clearer and better idea Of the great work
done by the veterans in saving the Ma
ton and laying the foundations Of its
present greatness and prosperity. That
the people know too little of this is the
greatest obstacle in the way of proper
appreciation of our services. There Is a
strong element which is bent on decrying
to the utmost all that the veterans did,
endured, and sacrificed. The only real
spokesman of the soldiers and sailors
is THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE. 1t con-
stantly presents the actual facts of the
great struggle in most convincing way,
and every time it does so makes friends
and admirers for our heroes.
Every comrade should make it a
matter of personal interest that the
paper be given the widest possible cir
culation. Let him not only subscribe
for it for himself and family, but make
an effort to get all of his comrades to do
likewise. Nothing else will contribute
so much to the development of the
GAR, and to the success of the cam
paign we are entering upon for veterans
rights.

The priest Of St. Josenh's Church

The priest Of st. Joseph's Church,
Port Huron, Mich, seems unaccountably
ignorant of tie regulations of the Catho-
lie Church. Last week the comrades of
William Sanborn Post attended to the
grave the remains of Fred Smith, one
of their number. At the door of the
church the priest met the pall-bearers,
and requested them to remove their
badge as it was contrary to the rule of
the diocese TO allow regalia of any So
ciety not approved by the Catholic
Church to be worn into the church.
This simply shows that the priest does
not know his business, and has not kept
up with matters in his own Church.
Ten years ago the Plenary Council, in
session at Baltimore, took the status of
the GAR. into full consideration. The
matter was brought before it by Com
mander-in- Chief Kountz-himself a
Catholic-who appointed three Catholic
oomrades-Gens. Z RF9psecrans. Newton
and McMahon-to represent the Order
before the Council After a thorough
EgF7 =
examination the Council decided that
the GAR. was not Secret society after
the manner of those upon which the
Church has placed its ban, but one to
which Catholics may belong with en-
tire propriety. This decision has since
been reiterated and explained repeatedly
by Archbishops, Bishops and other pre-
lates, and is understood and accepted
IA 81
everywhere, except by some unusually
stupid or cranky priest such as the one
at Port Huron seems to be. He has
probably on y recently come over the
line from Canada, and not yet caught
onto United States ideas

the time has come when we must stand
| up squarely to the Monroe Doctrine, or
else make an ignominious retreat and
| surrender all future thought of that
much-boasted principle. This is not to
be thought Of We do not believe any
one in the country, outside of few such
| emasculated creatures as Larry Godkin
and the editors of Harpcr's Weekly and
the New York Times, can think of it.
The Monroe Doctrine has been strongly
Endorsed by all parties in this country
for three-quarters of century. and they
will be a unit in supporting it. We
cannot submit it to arbitration. 1t is
one of those things of which we alone
must be the judges 1t is personal to
us, and not within the province of any
one else to decide for us. Nor do we
see where there is any room for arbitra-
ton upon the question of the boundary.
England gained nothing in Guiana but
what the Dutch had previously had,
and Venezuela nothing but what the
Spaniards had previously enjoyed. What
these were is clearly set forth in multi
tude of authoritative documents, in
which the British fully acquiesced up
to the time when they began to want
the gold mines in Venezuela.
There is nothing left for us to do but
to vigorously insist that Venezuela shall
be left in the occupancy of her own
territory, and that England withdraw
to such as are unquestionably hers.
She will do this if we are resolute in
our insistence upon it. She is simply
making a grand bluff, as is her custom,
and hopes that it viii succeed. 1t can
not and must not succeed. We can
not abandon the Monroe Doctrine with
out deep National humiliation. To do
so would make us contemplate in the
eyes of the world. We would never
presume to talk about having policy
again, for every one would jeer at us.
And SO far from weakening in their adj
herence to that principle, Americans of
all parties are more deeply attached to
it than ever. Instead Of having it cur
tailed and weakened they want it made
a more vigorous living idea than it ever
has been.
1t is incredible to think that war may
be the result Of this. OF all the
Nations of the world,,we are the most
unlikely to be attacked, and especially |
.
by England. We are incomparablv
the strongest Nation in the world, for
the reason that we are the freest to go
to war if we choose. BefJre Great
Britain, Germany, France, Russia or
another power can 90 to war she must
look carefully about her, and see what
her immediate neighbors may think and
do. We are the only one that can 90
to war regardless Of the attitude of any
or all other countries.
The outcome will be that England
will buster until she sees her clustering
will not avail, and then come down
with what grace she can.

Similar treatment was implied if not

GEN. MALONE.
rights.

VIM. Malone was the son of an Irish
man who kept country tavern in
Southampton County, Va. 1t wasn't
much of a tavern, either, even among Vir-
ginia taverns, which are about as poor
as the law allows. But the fact that
his father was a poor, ignorant Irish
man was one that Malone never could
surmount or even get away from as long
as he lived in Virginia. Nothing that
he could possibly do or become would
give him place among the aristocrats
who ruled the State, and felt that politi-
cal place and preferment was their
birthright. Few men ever worked
harder to break the ban than he did
What would have been to his highest
credit in Northern State, was an ire
parable blemish in Virginia. His first
step in life was to secure admission
within the aristocratic walls of the Vir-
ginia Military Institute. His career
there was prolonged fight with the
housekeeping youngsters, who despised
him for his origin. He was farther
handicapped by his weak, diminutive
physique. Though he excelled the
others in scholarship, he was finally COM
PEELED to leave without his degree. He
adopted civil engineering as profes-
sion, and this led him into railroad
ing, in which he became very success
full. When the rebellion broke out he
threw himself into it with ardor, prob
ably hoping to raise himself socially by
his service for the conspirators. He
raised a regiment which he commanded
with such ability that he was soon given
a brigade, and then division. He dis
tinguished himself so at the defense of
the Crater that Lee regarded him as the
best General in his army, and indicated
him as his successor, in case he should
fall. The Military University of Vir-
ginia conferred degree upon him, and
the city of Petersburg voted him sword.
He resumed railroading at the close of
the war, and became the leading rail
road man in the South. But all this
availed nothing to take him into the
charmed circle of the aristocrats. He
found this out when he aspired to the
nomination for Governor of Virginia.
In his disappointment he left the Demo
cratic party, and placed himself at the
head of the Disconnected faction, called
Readjustcrs, and was elected to the SEN
ate, when he electrified the country by
coming out squarely as Republican,
and brought down on bis head a cyclone
of calumny and vituperation from the
whole South.

IT appears that the miners in Alaska

are right. The whole of that country

forty or fight" which gave England all

want any more free territory.

SLEEPS IN A COFFIN.
HE ALSO ASKED HIS CHILDREN TO
Do SO.
They, However. Continue to Repose

Papa Insists That They Are In
iUring Their Health.

Oakland, Cal, July 12.-Prof. Henry
Kraus, of this city, seer, musician and
psychist eats no meet, sleeps in a coffin
instead of a bed, with only a scanty
blanket over him and says that when
he retires to his gruesome couch his
spirit penetrates into the future and he
reads the destiny of the race.
Krauss seems to be an educated, up
to-date citizen and talks plausibly in
defense of his peculiar habits and his
spiritual achievements are all based
upon strictly scientific principles. His
coffin bed is constructed of rude pine
boards.
He says that the custom of sleeping
on soft beds is responsible Tor much
of the enervation in xJodern ciyiliza-
ton. \ hard, unyielding couch, he de-
clares, is conducive to rugged health.
AS for the coffin part of the pro-
gramme Prof. Krause says it is q daily
reminder of the brevity of life and is
helpful, as it enables him at night to
concentrate his mind upon the invisi-
BILE world.
If it were practicable, 7he~ says, he
would go naked. He has a great admi-
ration for Captain Won Schmidt, who,
without clothing, braves the wind and
rain on the Oakland estuary and who
is one of the most robust men in Cali
fornia. Prof. Krause has built six cof-
fins for his children to sleep in. but
they continue to repoSe on spring mat
treSses. He has succeeded, however.
in getting some of them % adopt his

COFFIN WAS EMPTY.
MEYERS HAS A GRAVE, But Is NOT
IN IT.
That is the Opinion of Some People,
, While others Hold Different
Views-DiIiSent Search Being
Made.

Gem, Ind, July 12.-The body of
Thomas Myers has not been found, but
gradually the story of how he was
put out of the way and a grave dug
into which an empty coffin was low
cred, is coming to light. The Elwood
Court of Foresters. of which Myers
was a member, claims TO have evidence
that he was poisoned and warrants
have been issued for the arrest of
several residents of Elwood and vicin-
ity. There has been intense interest
in the case ever since the discovery
of the empty coffin in the county GEM
etery at Clifford. The order of Forest
ers believed something was wrong. and
John Noble, the financial secretary of
the lodge, was detailed to investigate.
1t is announced that he is almost ready
to make the denoument. Many per-
sons believe that thorough search
of the locality about Gem win disclose
Myers body, while others believe that
he IS alive. But the members of the
Foresters who have made the investi-
cation are confident that they have
fixed the crime. They will continue the
search for the grave in which Myers
is buried and believe they will find it
somewhere near the village.
