Modern Light on Ancient America.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
The position taken by your correspondent
in your issue of Sept. 2, that Roman Catholic
Massachusetts,, 400 years prior to the birth
very interesting questions. At the time of
Columbus, the rotundity of the earth was
very generally denied, and the project of the
great navigator was very generally held to
be chimerical.
At that time the Roman Catholic Church
was near the zenith of her power, and her
influence in all matters was potent. A
declaration coming from her, that the earth
was rotund, that lands lay beyond the sea,
tnat the Cross had been planted there and
that the sons of the Church had given cen
turies of earnest effort to Outstanding
those pagans, would have conclusively set
tied the question and made the task of Co
lumbus q comparatively easy one.
If such information lay in the Vatican,
bearing so vitality on so vital question,
how is 1t accounted for that the Church was
covery OF new world" as were those who
had no possible access to such information?

Profit in American ships.

To the Editor OF The Dispatch:
In your article to-day on the above subject
You refer to some remarks made by Cramp,
of Philadelphia, who therein makes the wild
assertion that high class ships can be built
as cheaply hero as in England. should
like to ask one or two questions on this
matter.
First, it is publicly asserted in the press
and elsewhere that wages in England and
Scotland are about half the American
standard. Material Is low in proportion.
The shipyards are fitted up with machinery
as good as any in American yards, and you
will admit that the workmanship on the
Clyde and other points cannot be surpassed.
Manufacturers work for lower percentage
ofnroftts. How is it, then, that they cannot
build cheaper than here?
Don'tyou think, sir, it is little BIT out of
reason for Cramp to talk in that strain. In
1act your own remarks carry that expression
Win them. If remember right. only few
montns ago two vessels were wanted for
trade on the Pacific coast. and the order
went to the Clyde. Why let this money go
out OF the country if 1t is possible to keep it
1ny business is business, and Americans are
not gong to pay one-quarter or one-third
more for an article at home If they can get
1t cheaper elsewhere.
Then, as regards France and Germany
building ships, France always did build
you can hardly hold her up as an example
ot What Americans should do, as she is on
gne other side of the fence, and for this reason:
l, Americans get higher wages than En-
gllsnmen, then Germany pays still lower
wages than England, and therefore has the
balance in her favor to start with. Another
Inlng g OF which l know personally, and
which has been the case for II long time is
that you cannot find a shipbuildina yard
on the Clyde in which German. Swedish or
other nationalities are not employed as
arangltsmen. etc., and the same holds good
in the English yards.
Wen, sir, don't you think it quite natural
Iof germany, as soon Us she commenced to
seek foreign trade and commerce, and which

famous yards in the world, to commence

The Roseate Brazilian Views Held Out

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-[SpecidL Forty
Hebrew immigrants, who were persuaded to
leave this city and Philadelphia to try farm
ing under Government supervision near
Maranham, Brazil, returned to this port to-
day, much disgusted, on the steamship ALI
ance. One of them, Jacob Silver, of Phila-
delphia, said that when the party of which
he was member left the city for Maran-
ha m they believed they were going TO get
10L acres of land, house, two horses. u
yoke of oxen and SIS a month. They thought
this was to good to be true, and Silver went
to the Brazilian Consul at Philadelphia and
declared that his Government offered even
greater inducements to settlers.
A Government official visited their colony
during the first month they were there,
gave them $40 each, and told them that they
would be required to work Is days for the
Government for that and that they might
spend the other half of the money cultiVat-
ing their farms. They marched in BODY
to Maranham, l5 miles away, and protested
against this arrangement. The Governor OF
Maranham called out the militia and es-
corted the farmers back to their farms
They received only % in July, and they
marched to Maranhan again and protested
against the action of the Government. The
all put in prison. They were there 10 days,
when the newspapers Of Maranham called
attention to their suffering and the injnstice
of their treatment. The Governor released
them and they were shipped on the AL

SOME of the immaculate and stately old
parties in the English House of Lords OBJ
ject to the elevation OF Mr.. w. a Smith, the
Tory leader of the House of Commons, to
the peerage. They object because Mr.. Smith
has made money and fame as a newsdealer.
When it is remembered on what lofty grounds
men have been made peers in England
Charles lis beautiful batch of lords for ex-
ample-this latterday squeamishness among

of fact Mr.. Smith has better reason to be
proud of his good name as seller Of news

confer by letters patent.
