RAISE THE CSISTOBAL COLON
The Cristobal Colon was one of
the finest vessels in the Spanish navy.
She was launched in 1896 and was
classed in Spain as a battle-ship. She
had a displacement of 6,840 tons, en
gines of 14,000 horse power, a speed
of twenty knots, and carried forty
guns and four torpedo projectors. In
the battle of Santiago the Spanish
plan was to have the Cristobal Colon
escape while the other cruisers en
gaged the American vessels. While
the Almirante Oquendo, theVizcaya,
and the Maria Teresa were riddled
by American shot and shell, the Cris
tobal Colon was not struck, but ran
at high speed to the west. She was
not overtaken for fcrty miles, and
the surrendered only when the Ore
gon and the Brooklyn came within
range.
Admiral Sampson in his report
stated that the Cristobal Colon was
not injured by the firing from his
vessels and that she was not much in
jured by beaching, though she ran
ashore at high speed. The admiral
regarded the Cristobal Colon as the
best and fastest of the Spanish fleet,
and strongly recommended that the
vessel be raised. Lieutenant Hobson
made the same recommendation ; but
it is announced that the naval board
has decided against trying to save
this fine vestel because of the ex
pense. Nevertheless, the Cristobal Colon
should be raised. There could be no
better memorial to the greatest naval
engagement of modern times than
the reiuvenated Cristobal Colon in
the American navy. The name, the
affectionate regard in which she was
held by Spaniards, the rank she took
in the Spanish navy, the gallant dash
she made in the face of the Ameri
can fleet, all would make her an ob
ject of historic interest. As we are
soon to come into possession of the
Spanish West Indies, which Cclum-
hus added to the Spanish domain,
the association of a vessel named for
the discoverer of America, with the
transfer of the islands to a distinc
tively American nation, would be
appropriate.
Lieutenant Hobson's recommenda
tion was right. The presence of Ihe
Cristobal Colon in the American
navy would be a constant reminder
of American valor and seamanship
and would do more to inspire patriot
ism and heroism than any other
memorial of the war. The vessel
should be saved and repaired, no
matter what the cost.

Hoareeness in a child that is subject

Cough Remedy is given aa soon as the
child becomes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough has appeared, it will pre
vent the attack. Many mothers who
have croupy children always keep this

Carl Schurz has just warned his
auditors, at a meeting in New York,
that "the republic is doomed if the
policy of the present national ad
ministration prevails." When Schurz
and B. Gratz Brown, shortly before
the national conventions of 1872
were held, started in Missouri the
Liberal Republican party, Schurz
warned the people of the United
States that the republic was doomed
if Grant were re-elected. The peo
ple went right ahead and re-elected
Grant, giving him about the largest
majority that any president had re
ceived since Monroe's second can
vass. Suhurz's normal mood is one
of despair. No other man in this
generation has predicted so many
things that never did and never will
come to pass.
Spain is getting in a great way
about paying her debts, and fears
that the demands of the United
Slates will leave her no alternative
but repudiation. It seems that Bryan
financiering has never occurred to
her. Why not make 50 cents worth
a dollar, and thus reduce her debts
one-half; or, better, say, issue paper
money and clear herself on the debt
