year ago The NATIONAL TRIBUNE gave
space to few lines regarding the location and
decoration of Mai Ned Brooks's grave at Ar.
lington, the lines meeting the eyes of cousins
in Minnesota, and of his mother in far-ofI
Japan. 1t may be of interest to his many
friends to know that o most appropriate grants

carved with his name. rank, and span Of life,
the stone banked with ivy and the mound with
green sod, no more ittisg and tasteful resting
place for the ashes of soldier can be seen in
Arlington. The whole is under the special
care of attendant. Hither came on Me-

The French Government has an
nounced its definite intention to ut once
reduce Madagascar to the condition of a
Franch Colony, and the rest of Europe,
with some selfish grumbling at losing
q market place, acquiesces i'll her design.
This shows the hypocrisy of the European
opposition to our interference in Cuba.
Madagascar is about four times the size
of Cuba, and has from three to four
times as many people. They formed an
independent kingdom, which had existed
for centuries, and they seemed entirely
satisfied with their form Of Government.
France had no earthly reason for interior
ing with them, except that she wanted
their trade. Therefore she picked quar-
rel with them, sent an army thither,
overthrow the Malagassy Government,
talked for awhile about establishing
Protectofate over the island, and now
ends by Incorporating it bodily with
France, and subiecting it to the French
tariff system, which shuts out foreign
competition and reserves all the trade of
the island to French merchants. We
made treaty with the Queen of NADIA
gascar in 1881, by which imports from
the United States were not to be taxed
to exceed 10 per cent, but it is not sup
posed that the French Government will
pay the least regard to this. Our trade
with the island has, however, been small,
while that of England, Holland and
Germany has been considerable, since
100000 people, even though they be
semi-civilized, must buy an immense
of the products of factories.

CoNsUL-GENEgAL FITzHUeH LEE
has had bis first interview with Captain
General Weyler. 1t Is said that the
interview was every satisfactory" In
cidentally it is remarked that one of
the objects of the interview was to get
permission to see Thomas Dawley, an
American citizen and an artist sent by
New York papers to get pictures Tor
them. He is in prison as an "lncom-
municado." The Captain General could
not authorize the Consul General to see
the prisoner, as it was against the law,
but he would try to have the matter
arranged 1t is hard to see how such
insulting shuffling as this could be
" satisfactory" to an American official.
1t should have been made the subject
of instant and indignant protest. The
authorized representative of foreign
Government has the fullest right Of free
communication with its citizens who
may be under arrest, and Sen. Lee
should have vigorously asserted this.
That is his business in Cuba. He is
sent there to protect American citizens
and to get the fullest information posi-
bic relative to any Of them who may fall
under the ban of the authorities. To be
allowed to see Dawler was not merely a
courtesy to be extended by the kind IN
diligence Of Weyler, but an absolute
right, which should be instantly accord
ed. We hope to hear that Gen. Lee
has awakened to fuller knowledge of
his rights and duties as an American

TIME brings its own revenges. -Four
years ago many weakened, short-sight-

Kinley as the wrecker of the party.
Even as late as the assembling of the
present Congress number of Repre-
sentatives held up their hands in horror
at the suggestion 10 re-enact the Nc

GOLD IN UTAH.

=
1t is believed that the gold in sight at
Mercur, Utah, is farsmore plentiful than
in the South African gold fields, and
that the product inside of year or two
will be much greater. The deposit is OF
much the same character as that in
South Africa, and is worked in the same
way-by the cyanide process. This is
revolutionizing the production of gold
all over the world, the same as dynamite
did that of silver, and there is every
reasonable support for the belief, as
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE has been pre-
dieting for years, that gold will soon be
relatively as plentiful and cheap as
silver. The old slovenly processes of
gold mining are being replaced by new
scientific methods which save SO per
cent. of all the gold the assay shows.
Under the old methods it did not pay
to handle ore which ran less than $50
to the ton. Under the new, profits can
be made out of ore which runs as low rs
So or 81 to the ton. At Mercur it
averages from 30 cents to 81 to get a
ton of ore on the dump, and not over 81
to work it, so that the cost of extracting
the gold does not exceed at outside So
ton. The ore runs all the way from So
to $50 a ton in gold contents, and there
is apparently no end to it. Six of the
principal mines have already 100000
tons in sight, and this is only the be-
ginning. The place is an abandoned
silver camp in what is known as
the Camp Floyd District, and
had at one time a population Of be-
tween 5000 and 1000, but which
was deserted when the price of silver
slumped. There are, now works there
which handle from 100 to 200 tons
day, and an establishment is going up
which will work up 500 tons day.
The population has suddenly doomed
up to 1000 again, and it is expected
that it will REACH 10000 in few
The deposit has been explored
down to a depth of 600 feet without
finding any diminution, and every in
dication shows an output of gold similar |
to that of silver by the famous bonanza
mines. 5a

AFTER 1892 certain men wanted to
have the whole responsibility of the Nc
Kinley bill placed on VIM. Mckinley.
They made him their scapegoat. He
had been their marplot. Nobody else
had anything to do with it. He for
mulated the measure, all by himself, and
forced it through. Now these men are
loudly claiming that the bill was only
McKinley's in name, and dozens of men,
beginning with Gov. Dingley, of Maine,
are asserted to have been the real archi-
tects of the measure.

THE British Government is row en-
gagged in bullying the Hawaiian Govern
ment to force back upon them one Ash
ford, who was the chief of the con-
spirators against the Republic set up in
the islands. Ashford was taken red
handed in treason, and as to his guilt
there is not, and cannot be, the slightest
doubt. The Hawaiian Government dealt
very mercifully with him when it SEN
fenced him to Punishment. 1t is an act
of insulting arrogance for England to
insist that he shall be taken back into
the country, and TO threaten force if he
is not. We sincerely hope that the
Hawaiians will stand fast, and dare Eng
land to do her worst. The Americans
are watching the case very earnestly, and
they will act with a promptness that will
astonish the world if England attempts
the least exercise of force. OF course
England waited until Congress was on
the point Of adjourning before she made
her demand.

YOUNG WOMEN As RAEMAIDs.

How far England has yet to 20 in the prog
ress of temperance is shown by the fact that
there are in London alone more than 1900
young women between the ages of 20 and %
serving behind the bar who are daughters of
u,en ranking as gentlemen. OF these over 400
are the daughters, sisters, nieees of clergy
men of the Church of England, over 200 are
the daughters of army officers, nearly 200 are
the daughters of physicians and surgeons and
about 100 state that their fathers held commits
sions in the navy. There are between $1,000
and 10000 bsrnsids in England, without
counting the women employed as bookkeepers
cashiers. etc, in the drinking places. They
are nearly all English. But few Scotch girls
go behind the bar. and practically no Irish
girls. The experiment Of having women as
barkeeper5 tried in New York, but was q
failure. as we'll as aroused strong anta2onistic
public sentiment, even among the men who are
ia the habit of visiting those places.
