THE AMERICAN MARINE +.

The annual report OF the comms-
sioner of navigation for the fiscal year
ended June 80 last. presents some in
taresting facts in regard to the domes-
tic merchant marine. The total nler-
]. chant tonnage at the close OF the fiscal
v year was 6,674,s69, a considerable in
! crease over the preceding year and
gregter than in any other year Of our
i history.
Nearly all of this tonnage is, OF
f course, in our coastal waters, our riv-
lers and our great lakes. The commits
y sioner is Of the opinion that the year
s ending June 80 next may witness a
L larger total construction than any
other year in our history.

chant marine is concerned, il: is shown
10 be making rapid progress and to be
] In d most prosperous condition. 1t has
no foreign competition, since every flag
but our own is excluded from the
/ coastwise trade. The coast, lake and
river fleets have in the aggregate a
tonnage far exceeding the carrying ca
pacity of the vessels of some nations
of good maritime position
1t is in the ocean carrying trade that
the United States is greatly deficient.
1t is almost thirty years since Ameri-
can vessels carried more than 20 per

REAL BRAVERY.
TRaytor Nav Fro I

Bravery is not always of the battle-
field alone. In the humble walks OF
life are found heroes who, altho not
welcomed by drum and fife and loud
acclaims from belching cannon, are
found men and women who should
have their names written high up
with those of the worlds most not
able deeds of daring and self-sacrifice.
We have in mind a woman left a
widow with six small children to pro-
vide for. Did she fall to pieces, and
let the children be scattered here and
there? Did she go around, pleading
the hard luck" graft? No; but she
went out ouse-cleaning, and by the
closest kind of economy, kept the
children together, gave them the
education a country village affords,
and today they are good men and wo-
men, and are able and do keep their
mother from want. 1t requires a GER
tain amount of bravery to walk up to
the cannon's mouth discipline and
pride helps do that, but this woman,
with load upon her shoulders that
many man would grow a-weary OF
and soon unload, was cast in q heroic
mould, and If we must say it, BRAY
er man" never existed than she. No;
there are not all of sea, of the battle
field. That man who conquers a vile
habit, the woman who returns to right
living, have fought and won great
battle and should be counted among
the worlds greatest heroes, as we'll,
for the man or woman who have con-
quered themselves, have passed thru
a. discipline that would have caused
many of our alleged heroes to bolt and
leave the field to the enemy.

CHIEF BLAcKHAwKs BURIAL.

TKeokuk Constitution-Demo
When Black Hawk died, however, the
interment services were imposing
enough to lead to the superstition that
time would not so shortly efface the To-
cation. He was inferred on spot des-
ignated by him previous to his death, a
little over quarter of mile from the
north bank of the Des Moines river, in
the northeast part of Davis codnty, Ia.
The body was placed on the surface
of the ground with the face onward the
southeast, and the body supported in
cheon. On his left side was placed a
cane given him by Henry Clay, with
his right hand resting upon it. He
was dressed in full military suit, which
had been presented to him by Presi-
dent Jackson. Three silver medals
hung over his breast, all Of which had
been presented to him by distinguished
persons during his visits to Washing
ton. There We're also placed in the
grave two swords an extra pair of
moccasins and some other articles of
Indian costume, with a sufficient sup
ply of provisions to last him three days
on the journey to the spirit land.
Around the body and the articles bur-
led with it were two large blankets,
closely wrapped. Two wooden forks
were then firmly driven in the ground
and pole placed upon them extending
over the body. Against this pole slabs
were set up in an inclined position
over the body. The whole was then
covered with sod to the depth of about
a foot. At his feet a Flagstaff was
placed, floating beautiful silk Amer
lean flag, which had been presented TO
him. The flag remained over Black
Hawks grave until the wind tore it
10 pieces, and long after the body had
post was planted by
the grave on which was inscribed or
painted some figures commemorative
of his deeds. Subsequently, Black
Hawks relatives inclosed the grave
with a rude picket fence and fondly
hoped that the remains of the war
chief We're at rest.
1t was not to be, however. One day
shortly, Nine. Black Hawk visiting the
grave found it despoiied. the head of
the body of Black Hawk had dsap-
peared. The next winter the rest of
skeleton likewise vanished.

THE NEW SPIRIT Nv CHINA.

Mr.. Denbys expert and authoritative explana-
ton of the anti-American movement in China
exactly confirms the views hitherto expressed
in these columns concerning the origin of the
movement and the new and more ominous
phase which ii has assumed within the last
few months. II began Il protest not against
the exclusion law in itself but against the
bitrary harshness of its administration. and

ar all surprising that such conduct here pro-
vOked resentment and remonstrance in China
nor can blame the Chinese for their vigor-
Gus protests, or even for their efforts TO make
their protests materially effective by means OF
boycott Of American goods.
Now. however. the movement has gone be-
yond that and has assumed the form OF pro
test against the exclusion law itself, no matter
how applied. The awakening spirit of nation
ality among the Chinese revolts at the idea
of their being Disseminated against and being
treated as an inferior race. The Chinese see
