Ond of tbe Madrid papers has lo cated the source of Spain's troubles. The name of the culprit is Chris topher Columbus. Under the royal auspices of Spain he discovered a new continent and hoisted over it the Spanish flag. . That ib believed by the Madrid analyst to have been the germ of Spain's future decline. To be sure, the nation seemed to reach its period of greater glory at a later date, but it is assumed to have been but a deceitful and daDgerous expansion. If Columbus, who was an Italian carpet-bagger, and one of those eloquent visionaries to whom it is nerilous to listen, had but kept away from the court of Ferdinand and Isabella all would have been well. Some other nation would have discovered America and been compelled to stand it. , Spain's de velopment would then, it is argued, have been along the northern borders of Africa, a region with which it bad close relations, and with which it fought as well as intermingled for centuries. Therefore, it is contended that the dust of the great but baleful navigator should not be removed from Havana to Spain. If sovereignty must be relinquished, oil the emblems of bad luck ought to go with it. If Columbus were alive he might have something to say in extenuaticn of his voyage of 1492 and of some of it3 sequels personally unpleasant to himself while he still remained in the flesh. Fate was not particularly kind in making him an explorer. It was from no malicious premeditation that he went into the new continent business. If he had never met and married a prcttv Portuguese girl whose father was an old sea dog with chests full of charts Columbus might have lived and died the skipper of a fishing boit, equally obscure and happy. But those ancient manu scripts, which were the chief part of his wife'sjnheritance, fired the im agination of Columbus. He took the superficial view that discovering a new world would not necessarily ruin himself nor tbe country he represented. There was no way by which he could foresee that an early Spanish-American revolutionist in a colony founded by himself would some day clap him in chains and "send him back to Spain. Ferdinand lived long enough to feel uneasy when Columbus was around. The prophetic soul of the monarch may have warned him that there are two sides to running a continent as a Toyal diversion. Some balm for the Spanish mind is found in the thought that tbe . present embarrassments of Spain ere due to a geographical and quite ac cidental cause over 400 years ago. Tbe Norsemen discovered America leng before that, and were smart enouah to keep quiet about it. So were the sailors now known to have visited the coast of Brazil before Columbus. The Asiatics who pre viously entered America by crossing Behring Strait also maintained a prudent reserve. But the Genoese enthusiast, treated the matter ef fusively, and poor Spain, overcome by a false sense of grandeur, weakly consented lo take the continent. "Worse than that, Magellan, deluded by the specious fame of Columbus, went roaming about the Pacific, and in 1521 saddled Spain with the Philipines. If there had been no bright-eyed Lisbon girl with a truck ful of old maps there would have been historically no Columbus, do Cuban question, aid presumably, no Dewey. The Madrid editor does not so back far enough. There is a woman in the case, as usual. Deev resembles Grant. lie is original and audacious. Nobody o ever heare him grumbling about any inadequacy of means at hissommand or the character of the task to which hp is assigned. He does his work promptly and cheerfully with the forces at his disposal. - He does it so thoroughly that it will never have to be done over ngin by- him or any body else. Dewey will, in history, have the primacy among the fighters of the Spanish war which Grant bad moD2 those of the war of secession. The contest for second and third Dlace among the great personalities of the war of 1898 may be keen, but the first place belongs to Dewey. The Snia !

At this time the child had been sick for about ten days and was having about twenty-five operations of the bowels every twelve hours, and we were convinced mat un less it soon obtained relief it would not live. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea-Remedy was recommended, and I decided to try it. I soon noticed a chance for the better; by its continued use a complete cure was brought abont and it is now perfectly healthy. L. L, Boggs, Stumptown, Gilmer Co., W. Va.
