SPANISH IN FICTION.

One of the most remarkable curiosi-
ties of literature is the alleged Spanish
which runs in broad veins and lies in
rich pockets through all the strata of
the fiction relating to Mexico and our
Southwestern border, whether that fic-
ton is in the form of novels or newspa-
per correspondence, magazine sketches
of cities or phamphlet biographies of
bandits.
The writers of the novels being usu-
ally residents of our Eastern cities or
of England, have access to Spanish
dictionaries and ravage their pages at
will, capturing a great many lone
words. But Spanish syntax and Span
ish idiom are not so lightly captured,
and the poor kidnapped words are as
badly misplaced and as i'll at ease as
would be Texan cowboy in the draw
ing room of an English lord or u
cockney swell accepting an invitation
to treat the crowd at an Arizona bar.
And then these writers have a great
aptitude for putting into the mouths of
their Mexicans words which. although
found in the Spanish dictionary, are
unknown to the Mexicans, for among
the latter the Spanish names of many
common things have fallen into disus
and in their places are used words I'M
known in Spain. Again. these novel
lists are fond of making their Mexicans
use words (peppered with exclamation
points, which their readers are led to
| believe are the most satanic maledic-
tons, when in fact Gf they are not
quite imaginary words) they are the
most harmless and milk-and- watery
! exclamations-about like gracious

The Southwestern Railrood s,rito

1t will be difficult to see how anyone
has been benefited by the strike recent
~ lnaugurated by the Knights of Labor
in the Southwest; it is easily seen how
multitudes have been injured. In the
first place, $4,000 men have been out of
employment for about month, repre-
sentlng an aggregate loss in wages of
about S2.O00,000. The loss to the peo-
pie caused by the prostration of bust
ness has been still greater perhaps,
though impossible of computation; and
greater and more impossible to meas
ure has been the moral influence, both
upon the thousands thus idle, and upon
the whole army of wage workers who
have taken sides with this most I'M
called-for and i'll advised strike. In
this battle there is nothing to be gained
by either side and much to be lost. The
Missouri Pacific employees had no grew
ances, and have claimed none. If they
had they were bound by an agreement
to present them to Mr.. Hoxie for con-
sideration. There is no reason why the
discharge of Hall from the employ of
the receiver of the bankrupt Texas &
Pacific should have precipitated strike
on the Missouri Pacific, even granting
that any body of men may dictate
whether or not an employe may be re-
tanned or discharged. AS is usually
the case, the majority of the strikers
simply followed the lead of incompet-
ent and hot-headed leaders.
BY this blunder much temporary loss
must be sustained by all parties, but
like many another evil, good will in
eVitably result. 1t will serve to
teach laborers not to trust implicitly
reckless and fanatical leaders; it will
show that where the laborers have a
real grievance public sentiment will be
with them, but will not sustain them in
violent and uncalled-for action. The
discussion of this case will call atten-
ton to the unjust determinations be-
tween capital and labor wherever they
exist, either in laws or in customs. The
proper adjustment of the relations of
labor to capital is the greatest problem
of the hour and one the solution of
which needs cool heads and honest,
conscientious, wise counsels. Labor
and capital must be friends. They are
not antagonistic, but mutually depend
ent. Let no man cry Labor against
capital" nor try TO draw q dividing
line between the laborer and the cap
italist. Many men are both, and there
are all grades between the millionaire
capitalist and the unskilled laborer at a
dollar day. Some are capitalists in a
small way-many are laborers; and this
great middle class must not be ground
to death between the milestone of mo-
nopoly above, and the nether-stone of
labor.

goodness or lido tellr' In copcen-
trated curses the Mexicans have as
much to learn from the Americans and
English, as they have in the mechanic
arts. What Byron calls ssthe English
shibboleth Cd d-n' has a thousand
times the intensity of any Mexican oath.
The fact that the Mexicans, Indians
or Chinese who come in contact with
the Americans learn their ..cuss words
with such alacrity and use them at ev-
cry opportunity shows that these words
''iill long-felt want with these
rude, simple and uninventive people.
The tourists who write letters about
the Mexicans are of two principal
classes. The first are the ..cultured,"
who have learned more or less Italian,
because it is considered by the British
aristocracy to be ''the thing" and be-
cause it is the language of the opera;
although probably few of them would
ever be able to understand single sem
tence of Italian upon the stage. They
dote upon '.Florentine art and make
frequent familiar illusions to Lorenzo
de Medici and his kinfolks. They
sprinkle their Mexican letters lib
orally with misused Italian which they
coolly pass off upon their readers as
the current language of "the land of
the Montezumas. Why they seem to
think that bad Italian makes good
Spanish is not clear. Perhaps it is on
the principle on which the American
lady " proceeded when she wished to
tell her German cook something about
a chicken, and she called it .skeeken,''
''sicken," ''chacken" ETC., sure that
some bad English pronunciation would
be good German one. The substitu-
ton of Italian for Spanish is at least as
old as the letters of Elsler and Freder-
ika Bremen from Cuba; not, however,
that those famous women used bad
Italian, like our cultured American
tourists.
The second class of tourists make no
pretensions to intimacy with any tony
Tuscans, ancient or modern, or with
keramics and culture, and they spare
us crude chunks of the Spanish diction-
airy; but they wish to show their famil-
iarity with the language of the people
among whom they are travelling, and
they sprinkle their pages with the man
gled remains of the words and phrases
they suppose they have caught by
ear (their own ears, not the words
ears). The result is far more ludic-
rous than any assault upon English
as she is spoke" by a Frenchman or
Italian.
