The partisans of Christopher Column
bus will have to grid their loins anew to
defend his claims against Lief Erickson,
the Icelandic discoverer of America. Not
long ago static was erected in his honor
at Boston. and now a petition bearing
many eminent names Is TO be laid before
congress. 1t will recite the fact that in
the approaching celebration in this city
In 1889 in honor of the centennial CT the
constitution ii would be fitting to include
commemoration of the discovery OF
America by Lief Erickson. the lcelander.
IN the tenth century, and TO allow that
period, to take an honored place IN the
Jubilee of republics, in 1882. The
petitioners state that tins DIS
covery Is based on authentic
documentary evidence that has been
buried for centuries IN the archives OF
the Catholic church of Rome. These
documents, they claim. were seen by
Columbus when he visited Iceland IN
February, 14,11. thus provided the great
explorer with information which made
his subsequent expidition TO America a
successful one. The object of the petit
ton, therefore, Is to secure the co-oIera-
loii Vi coDSItS> IN tfSuA hS eicSc AS
cords Congress viii also be asked to APP
propriate sum of money sufficient to
defray the expense necessary for tins
purpose. and also for the erection here OF
reproduction of an Icelandic Viking
hall. in which viii be displayed collec-
ton OF relics from the Viking period.
The moving spirit In the matter IS Miss
Marie Brown. an eastern lady who has
devoted several years collecting data
upon this important subject.

LINCOLN AND WASHINGTON.

NTurat HalStead. of the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette, delivered a speech
at Columbus. Ohio. Monday night. in
which he contrasted some of the char
acteristics of the two greatest of the
American presidents. from which speech
the following extract is taken:
I'VE lose something of the value of
the memory of Washington by that I'M
tutored idealization that eXalts him into
something almost superhuman, and 10 a
place SO cold and lofty that with our
conscious deficiencies we cannot clasp
him with sympathetic confidence. If
the time comes when Lincoln shall be
first in the hearts of his countrymen,'
| it will not be because he was command
er-in-chief of hundreds of thousands
of armed men. whereas. Wash
ington only led thousands. or because he
was essentially man of tine people and
a poor man, while in Washington was an
aristocrat and rich. but because through
the photography of the press as well as
of the camera of the period. we know
Lincoln better far than Washington
could be known, even to his contempor-
aries: and we love him because he was a
man like ourselves. 1t is one of the
privileges at the time in which we live to
know men as they are. And love that is
stronger than hate, seeks knowledge,
thrives upon it-grows and blooms with
what it feeds upon-and bears fruit that
is purple and golden.
Lincoln had what we might call press
facilities superior TO those enjoyed by
Washington. He wrote a pagraph for
a newspaper about himself, and Wash
ington never did that. He was less SEN
sitIve about the newspapers than YVES
Washington, and the newspapers that as
sailed Lincoln Were to those that abused
Washington as hornets to gnats. Lincoln
never got swearing mad about the papers
that stung him, and Washington did.
and he had a thousand provocations to
| Washington's one. He used the news
popers. When. he wanted to proclaim
that his object was to save the union
with or without slavery, he wrote to
Horace Greeley. His most trusted adj
wiser was an editor-Thurlow Weed-a
maker of presidents. welding a power
Office could neither give nor take.

WESTERN MORTGAGES.
The American Banker.

The American Banker.
1t has been argued that the fact that
SO many of the farms of Iowa, Nebraska
and Kansas are mOrtgaged Is an evidence
that the west is incapable of supporting
its large and rapidly increasing popula-
ton. This is not true. and no reasoning
could be more fallacious. These three
great states above mentioned are peo-
pied largely by young men who have
left the over-crowded stvtes of the east
to carve their fortunes from the vast pos
sibilities of the west. They came to this
country with little Or no capital. unless
indomitable courage, pluck, energy and
determination be classed as available as
sets. Many of them have availed them
selves of their homestead rights and
after they received their patents from
the government they naturally desire
capital to make Improvements, to build
better homes, to stock their farms, and
to engage in those enterprises which are
today developing the west SO rapidly.
They find this capital in the hands of
eastern bankers and investors, who are
willing to loan it with the farm as secur-
ity. These mortgages are rarely fore
closed. In not one case in a thousand
probably Ill five thousands the in
weston compelled to invoke the aid of the
law to collect the money he has adj
vanced. 1t is the eastern capital that
has found investment III west
ern securities. western farms.
western railroads, and west
ern manufactures. that has made
the rapid development of the west posi-
bic. And the day is coming when the
west will rank with the east in popula-
ton, wealth, prosperity and culture. The
''rowdy west" exists only in the imagi-
nation of the prejudiced, and it is these
preiudiced individuals who are raising
such hue and cry about the worth
lessness" of western securities. Forum
ately the men who are investing their
funds in western securities have investi-
gated for themselves and know that the
assaults of the brokers and gamblers of
Wall street are uncalled for and unjust
