THE praise accorded George E. Lemon
the pension agent and proprietor OF The
National Tribune, since Lis death, Is
wholly undeserving. His love for the
old soldier was wholly mercenary. He
made fortune out OF 1t and the fact that
by his will he gave it away proves moth
ing. Dead men have no use for money.
In lis methods he was almost black
mailer. His interest in those applying for
pensions had Lemon as the chief be1efi
ciary. The immense fortune he acquired
is proof of this. No man used the ''old
soldier racket more than he. No man
profted more by it. II instead # what
he devised, what he made in securing
pensions was made public, the real char
acter Of the man would be known. His
money was made from pensioners and he
made lots OF it. He had pecuniary in
terest 10 increasing grand army posts
and every bit OF work he did in this line
paid hun well. He has earned no graft
tude and deserves none.

some sort of roller run over the roads
while in plastic condition, Just be-

people from driving over the roads
before freezing, he would station a
few good marksmen with rifles at reg

not think he will insist On the marks

SOME official facts are now coming re.
garding the death of Maceo. From these
1t appears that his death is due to the
treachery of Zertucha who for a long
time has been doing service as spy in
the Cuban camp. He kept the Spaniards
informed of the movements of Maceo
and furnished them information as to
when and where Maceo would cross The
trocha. Il is said he will soon throw off
the mask and guide Weyler's forces
through the province of Pinar del Rio

NOTWITHSTANDING the failure of banks
business Is improving. The balance OF
trade continues to be largely IN our favor
There is better tone to business IN the
large commercial centers than there has
been for some time. The fact that Sc
many banks could have collapsed without
panic as a sequence, shows that people
have confidence in ultimate and not dis
tant Improvement There have been just
as many miles of railroad built IN 1896 as
in 1885, All signs are to the effect that
good times are not far off.

THE severe comments made upon the

IT begins TO look as though Weyler
had really crushed the rebellion in Cuba.
1t is said Gomez is now seeking terms of
surrender. The death of Maceo seems to
have dlsheartened the patriots. But
Spain will never recover complete pos
session of Cuba. Even though the pres
ent rebellion should fail there will be
periodical uprisings and Spanish govern
ment can be maintained there only az al

home government will realize from the
