was the Majors old commander. Martin visit

TWO MEMS LAURELs.

If ever poor fellow had hard work
TO win his laurels, and still harder work
to hold OH to them, it was CHRISTOPHER
COLUMBUS. 1t is perhaps one of the
penalties Of true greatness to be looked
upon as the prey of literary scalpers.
The lamented WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
has had an experience of that kind,
second only to the experience that the
fame of CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS has
been subjected to. AS time passed on,
it was thought that the regulations of
both COLUMBUS and SHAKESPEARE
were established beyond all contro-
versy. This has been a. deIusion. MIR.
DoNNELLY's recent assault on SHAKE
sPEARE and Miss BRowN'S effort to
transfer the laurel wreath from the
brow of COLUMBUS to that of LIEF
ERICKSON only demonstrate the per-
petual ctivity of the two elements in
human nature known as combativeness
and destructiveness. But for all that,
COLUMBUS and SHAKEspEARE are
going to keep on their feet. All rival
claims are now barred by the statute of
limitations.
1t is possible that LIEF Erickson,
the Iceland voyager, did set foot on
these shores. long before. COLUMBUS
landed. So did the Indians, but the
world was not benefited by it. 1t was

THE SPOTTER.

There is no more contemplate indi-
vidual than the professional Spotter, the
person who serves corporation in the
capacity of spy and informer, and whose
duties involve not merely the detection
of wronsdoing, but the temptation of
employees TO do wrong in order that
punishment may be visited upon them
and the Spotter obtain the reputation
for vigilance necessary to his cOntinu-
ance in tolerably lucrative, though
deSpieable position.
The fact was brought out ut a recent
trial in Chicago of Pullman conductor,
Who, by the way. was acquitted-that
the spoilers use every means in their
power, with, in many instances, the
conniyanee OF the company, to induce
an infraction of the rules OH the part of
Duke PULLMAN'S employees, and that
for the most trivial offenSeS fines are
levied with generous hand and the
already meager salaries of the con-
ductors cut down right and left in way
that means just that much more profit
for the corporation.
As for the actual stealing detected,
that, ii is asserted, amounts to much
less in year than the annual cost of
the spoilers. Ordinarily every man is pre-
sumed honest until proven thief. In the
Pullman service it seems that every
man IS regarded at least potentially as a
thief,and none is presumed to be honest.
That such system, degrading, revolt
ing and harassing, makes thieves of
men who would otherwise be honest, ,eX-
perience has proven. II men are to be
suspected they are very likely to give
cause for suspicion, whereas if they are
treated with respect and consideration
they are far more apt to respect them
selves.
If Duke PULLMAN would pay his en-
ployeS living wages, and, exercising
proper discrimination in the selection
of conductors, repose in them at least
as much confidence as the average busi-
ness man does in his clerks, he would
attain far better results. The spotter
system is wrong in theory and practice,
and public opinion should declare in
favor of its abolition.

PENSION THE NURSES.

The senate bill to pension the army
nurses, which has been favorably IT.
ported by the committee, should become
a law. 1t merits the support of the house
as we'll as the senate, and it is to be hoped
that some one may be found in the former
body to champion the measure and carry
it along to successful conclusion. No
more deserving body Of people than the
corps of nurses served the government
during the war. Their services were.
i'll fact, equally as important as those of
the men who did the fighting.
Hundreds Of brave men, who would
have died upon the battlefield or later
i'll the hospitals through lack of proper
and sufficient attention, owe their lives
to the devotion of the Self-Sacrificing
men. and women. too; for the nurses
comprised among their number as many
Of the latter as of the former. Many of
them, by the eXacting nature of their
duties, became broken down in health.
1t is certainly, then, the province-in--
deed, the duty-of the government to aid
these in the time of their necessity, as
much as it is to reward the services of
disabled veterans by substantial
monthly allowance. The pension it is
proposed to grant, s12 a month, is small
enough; and there should be no one, not
even the most rigid congressional econ
omist, to object to it.
The nurses rendered no less valuable
services to the Union because their mis-
sion was to cure instead of kill, and the
government has been already too slow in
making substantial recognition of the
fact.
