The ANTIQUITIES OF SAN Do
MINGo.-A correspondent of the
government commission in San
Domingo says that to land at San
Domingo City is to plunge sudden
~ into the past. The walls and
bastions frOwn as from q remote
age. Close to the wharf is the
first stone house built by Column
bus in the New World. Nearly
overhanging the landing is the
ruined palace, once the centre of
that splendid attempt at court
which the son of the discoyerer
made. A. little farther to the left
is the castle where Columbus was
loaded with chains and cast with
his brother into its cells. From
this very dock, Cortez, DeSoto,
Pizarro, Orondo and their com
panions sailed for the Indies, the
halls of the Montezumas, the Flori-
das, Peru, and for all the vast ter
ritory which was afterwards crush.
ed BY the power of Spain. To en-
ter the walls is to- step into the
tomb of centuries. Long, low
streets with solid houses, with
gloomy inner courts, upon which
great arehed porches look down,
ruined palaces with deeply zorro.
ded facaded, churches and con.
vents with rude architecture, re
calling medieval masonry and
feudal times-all give the idea OF
an exhumed city. 1t seems i'm.
possible for so many stains and
corrosions to have been produced
outside the dampness of a tomb,
The living sunlight which plays
over everything only adds to the
ghastliness.

a shapeless lump of reddish clay;
a sensual mouth, and a brutal
expression altogether.

The Telegraph Man.

Jug tlTSu Oi Tue iOdS 1lt5 Oh ..
T. b. Morse; so much so that
they are putting him among
Gulliver's Strulbrugs and are
giving him post norton honors
Whether, or not, he is acting
the role of Charles v, OF Spain,
and is putting bis admirers up
to their acts, is hard 20 tell.
Old Charles had his funeral
celebrated in his presence, with
all the forms of his church, and
was so well pleased that he died
shortly after. Now whatever
pleasure Morse may have in
his sobsequies, we hope he will
not, as get, go SO far in accom-
modating his fellow citizens
as to shuttle off this mortal coil.
He is hale, and well preserved,
at the age of eighty, al.d bids
fair 10 live a score of years lon
ger. Who can imagine more
felicitious condition of life than
Morse's? Honor, without de-
traction and without the fears
of assassination that the great
conquerer has, has been his por-
ton fortwenty-tive years. Can
q great bronze monument add
to his felicity? The telegraph
will be his perpetual monu-
ment. Some day a warring peo-
pie will cast his column and
statue into cannons, but neces-
sity will compel them TO pre-
serve his great invention.
The time has been when the
Congress of the United States
was the greatest body OF great
men the world has ever seen.
In 1916 it had not fallen from
its great reputation. 1t had
the wisdom TO recognize the
fact that Morse had nade d
great invention and conse-
quently gave him the assis-
tance he asked to erect the first
electric telegraph. Our nation
then shares largely with him
his great reputation.
1t is strange fact that near.
i ly all great inventors have been
poor and required assistance
from the wealthy. Up to the
present century this assistance
has been given by individuals
But now England and tle Uni
ted States foster the inventive
talent in every conceivable way

The Condition of the Levees.
WHO rs RESPONSIBLE.

we suppose demonstrate the in
sufficiency of those works and the
inefficiency of the State officers
who for some years back have had
them in charge. Certainly, mop
ey has not been spared by the Leg
islature to make the levees strong
enough to withstand any pressure
of water. There can be no excuse
on that score. Upwards of ten
millions of dollars are reported by
the Auditor of the State ashaving
been expended for the leyee pur-
poses during Governor Warmoth's
administrations sufficient sum
one would think to render them
perfectly secure. We do not say
that ten millions of dollars have
actually been expended on the
levees by Gov. Warmoth, for it is
reasonable to infer from the man
ner, in which the finances of the
State have been administered by
that functionary, that large part
of this sum has gone into the
pockets of financiers and bond
spectators. But Gov. Warmoth
cannot pretend that he has been
restricted in the matter of leyee
funds. He has had all that he
and his associates of the Board of
Public Works asked for, and yet
the levees are breaking in all parts
of the State, and the city of New
Orleans is threatened with an
overflow. The truth of the mat
ter is that Coy. Warmoth has
been so busy with his speeulations
and his political maneuvres, he
has found no time to attend to the
interests of the State. No one
knows under whose charge the
levees are at the present time. The
Board of Public Works had them
under its control till superseded
by the last Legislature, but the
new company created by that
body, it seems has not organized,
and so the levees for some weeks
back have been left to take care
of themselves. We have been
duly warned of the rising of the
river and in ample time tostrength-
en- them at every weak point, but
there has been no levee system
for some time. The consequence
is before us. Now the RESPONSE
bility for this state of things, it is
not difficult to locate. Gev. War
moth is the man. He has been
the atual dictator of Louisiana,
and is answeE,ble for all that hap
pens to her by the swelling of the
river. As his capital is not in
lands, we suppose he will hear of
the sufferings of the people of the
over1owed portion of the State
with serene composup. lis true
