BLAMING IT ON COLUMBUS.
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.

Bush, clerk of the hotel uorrance, prov

years I have been almost a constant suf
ferer from diarrhoea, the frequent at
tacks completely prostrating me and
rendering me unfat lor my auty ai mis
hrol. About two years ago a traveling
ealesman kindly gave me a small bottle
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarhoea Kemedy. Much to my sur
nnee and delieht its effects were imme
diate. Whenever I felt symptouiB of the

the attack with a few doses of this vai-
neahla remedy. The result has been
very satisfactory and almost complete
relief from tbe affliction." For sale by

About one month ago my child, which
is fifteen months old, had an attack of
iHarrhnpii n wnm nh ied bv vomiting. 1
it such remedies as are usually
given in such cases, but a8 nothing gave
relief, we sent for a physician and it was
nnder his care for a week. 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,
