Descended From His Throne

face the audience, Satolli arose and,

he knelt and bowed his head. Cardinal
Gibbons took the beretta from the silver

unfolding it, held it high up so that the
audience could see it. Then STOPPING,
and with what seemed to be mur-
INJURED prayer. he placed it upon the
head of the new cardinal. Cardinal
Satoli rose and for the first time in it's

made a brief address and afterwards
celebrated mass. Archbishop Kain of

ceremonies closed by reading CABLE

Sixty employees i'll the freight account

The members propose to build at or

will each buy an acre from a plot Of

GENERAL GEORGE JONES,
nv is by no means such in health and
strength, and his mental vigor is quite
unimpaired. It is hard i'll these latter
days of the century to conceive that
there is a national character still above
ground who served as a drummer boy in
tho war # 1912, who had the honor Of
naming two states back Ii the thiTties,
who enjoyed an intimate acquaintance
with all the presidents since Madison,
who rode beside the Marquis de Lafay-
cite when that hero toured through
America in 1894, who sat in the lower
branch of congress with Polk and Bell
and Lincoln before they gained proni-
nence, and in the upper house with Clay
and Webster and Benton and Houston
and Corwin, and who bore a part in
most of the great political events of our
first half century as a republic. But
Jones is just such a figure. He has done
all those things, and in his book he will
sketch them out i'll a touch and 90 man
ner that cannot fail to charm the pres
ent generat1cn.
Jones, like most other public men OF
that time, was "a great believer In the
''code" and figured in seven different
duels, although u principal in only one.
The most notable Of these duels was that
between Cilley of Maine and Graves Of
Kentucky, in wbicn Jones acted as Gil
ley's second. The meeting occurred ON
the outskirts of Washington, near the
Marlboro road, and grew out of a &C.
bate in congress. jones was induced to
act as Cilley's second by Franklin
Pierce, then a congressman Rifles were
chosen as the weapons, ana three rounds
were fired. On the third round CiIley
fell dead with a bullet in his brain. The
sensation that eusued in congress and
throughout the country was extreme and
resulted eventually in the enactment Of
stringent laws placing dueling on the
same level as murder.
Four days after retiring from the SEN
ate. on March s, 1859, Jones was APP
pointed by President Buchanan as mill
lister to Bogota, New Granada (now Co
lonIbia). He remained there until No
yember, 1861, when he was recalled by
the Lincoln administration and shortly
afterward confined as a suspected seces-
sionist of great influence i'll Fort Lafay-
cite. New York. Since then he has
lived chiefly at Dubuque. la.
A signal honor was accorded him by
the people who knew him best on April
~, 1894, the occasion Of his ninetieth
birthday, when the state Of Iowa gave
him a public reception and banquet at
Des Moines, presided over by the gov
ernor and attended by both houses OF the
legislature, che executive council, the

~assiduity and success. That public, how
ever, was by no means England best.
The Ashburtons. the Granvilles, the
Clarendons were not OF it. The queen
and prince consort empha. . their op-
position to it. Reformers like Golden
and Bright did their best 10 divorce the
masses from it. But insular prejudice

prestige almost without interruption I'M
til the end. Yet he succeeded in arous-
ing III ~autagonism to British policy and
in forming an ideal Of British aggres
sion abroad that still obtains upon the
continent and in America.
Tho fact that there is no other nation
with whose Interests our own are so
bound up is often quite lost s'ght of in
view Of popular prejud ce against a pol
icy that men Ike to think still formed
upon the Palmerston model. The indis-
putable fact Of the superiority Of Eng
lish rule to that exercised by France or
Germany over subject nations is but
e ud2ingly admitted, because since
Palmerston's day men have been able to
see nothing in every new British acquisi-
tiIn but the brutal bullying of a weaker
power. No higher handed piece of ma
tionaI aggression has probably been per.
petrated within this century than the
recent invasion of Madagascar by the
French. But the world at large has
proved quite ~acquiescent, Had England
undertaken such an expedition, how
ever, the press Of two continents would
have exhausted the vocabulary Of con-
tumely. Yet no II at all conversant
with colonial history can doubt that
Madagascar would be a far better place
to live and work i'll under English
than under French dominion, and that
it would prove of vastly greater value to
the civilized world. England's position
today is startlingly isolated, and a
prime factor in her isolation has been
that she has cherished Lord Palmer
