In welcoming the international gold
miners convention at Denver Gov. ALvA ADAMS
spoke thus Of the attractions of q metal of which
he was supposed not to have q high opinion:
"only behind the banner of gold does there trail
the hungry. enthusiastic. unframed hosts OF the
human race. It matters not what land bore them,
what faith guides them, what altar hears their
prayers, what color 0oD tinted their skins; every
heart pulsates with tho same love OF gold; NO chasm
Of creed or race that win not be bridged by lives and
swords In its pursuit."
But the gold must be won by means OF gentle
methods or the Governor will have none OF 1t.
"If gold 10 to come only with the crimes of n
CoRTEzo or q PIzARRo." he said, "if it Is to inspire
only avarice and greed, 1t had best remain in its
unfathomed vaults" Did CoRTEz or P1zARRo
ever do anything that could compare in atrocity
with "the crime Of 1887 10 not even the gold

The "Zionists +" among the Jews In this

that there is a duty for them nearer at hand
than that of raising Zion In Palestine. 1t 10 our

future but also that OF the children Of American

In reference to these remarks of the Je'OisA
Messenger. we may say that q very large pro-
portion OF the RuSsian-Jewish immigrants who
have come to this country within recent years
are speedily Americanized. They learn the
English language without delay; they take out

in our consular service, and those who have

Although tho attack was exceedingly
bold, being committed, It is said, in
open day, and not far from the con
sulate itself, Consult General BURKE's ap.
peals for the arrest and punishment
of the assailants were wholly fruitless,
until he asked for q warship and received
assurances that the San Francisco would
be sent to him, with the Raleigh to follow.
When this was made known the capture Of
one Of the robbers was effected forthwith.
1t is plain that Morocco understands that
the rights Of protection under our Gag are
like those possessed by other countries.
But the most effective way Of maintaining
such an understanding is nce moro seen
to be that of displaying that flag over an
armed vessel In the chief Moorish port.

but the enemy stood behind their intrsnch-

there was another battle Of serious oharac-
ter, and the report from tho field wa that

this time the Brazilian commander got up
his artillery. and operations against Ca
nudos were begun in earnest. The siege
became close. There was c~annonading,

TONIC, the Counsellor, whom they regarded

against q Government which had become
