CHICAGO, July 8. Dispatches re-
ceived from the Chicago Herald's expe-
dition in search of the landing place on
this continent of Christopher Columbus
announces that the spot on which the
new world was born to civilization has
at last been found and marked by an
appropriate and enduring memorial.
This spot is Watkins Island,
Bahamas, and to prove that it
was the San Salvador of Columbus
it is only necessary to look closely into
the record left by Columbus himself
and compare it with the island as it eX-
lists to-day. A careful comparison of
the description of San Salvador as given
by Columbus himself. with Waiting
island as it was found by the Herald
explorers, leaves no doubt that Wat
ling's island was the place on which
Christopher Columbus landed IN the
early morning of Friday, October II,
1892.
Accordingly, on June -, the Herald's
monument was erected upon the pietur-
esque headland, which is the southern
shore of Discovery bay. The site
chosen was an admirable one in every
particular. 1t is only 200 yards from
the very sand beach on which Columbus
landed and commands fine view. not
only of Discovery bay. but of all the
coast north and south.
Under the monument was placed a
bundle of newspapers, containing copies
of all the leading journals of the United
States. and portraits of many well
known editors, making the monument
more than ever an American newspaper
Offering to the memory of the great dis
governor. In the surmounting shaft
were placed a number of stones which
friends had forwarded from Chicago,
the shaft itself beng capped with
block OF granite from the new Herald
building.
At o'clock, June 10, the gun of the
Nassau fired a salute; Gov. Main, of
Watling's Island, drew the Stars and
Stripes from the shaft of the monument
and hosted them to the top OF the flag
staff, and, amid the cheers of the assem-
bled crowd of citizens. sailors and Wis
itors, the Chicago Herald's monument
to Christopher Columbus was dedicated
to the memory of the great discoyerer.

BLEEDING THE PATRIOTS.

The fact that Independence day was
at hand has been growingly apparent
for some time past, and its arrival is
being proclaimed with the usual noisy
effervescence. Adult and nervous peO-
pie sometimes lose a part of their en-
thusiasm over the occasion, and give a
mental kick at JOHN ADAMS for giving
Young America in the unfolding ages
the cue how to celebrate the Fourth of
July. The wisdom and patriotism of
century have not been able to devise
any substitute for the original method
of vOicing the appreciation of the good
work of the fathers when they went on
their big strike against the authority of
the arbitrary relative over the water.
and resolved TO set up for themselves.
They did a bigger job for their poSterity
than they imagined, and there has been
no greater success anywhere III the eS-
Enlistment OF a nation. Powder was
burned, drums were beaten, and all the
martial paraphernalia they had was put
on duty in making the break with the
reluctant predecessors of the great bac-
carat banker. 1t is patriotic TO remem-
Der them and glOrify their legacy. Until
Y outhfuI humanity learns to initiate
Gen. WASHINGTON, as remarked by his
sable attachment, and do ''its laughing
inside" there must be racket when
the celebrating business is on its pro-
gramme. All the great strides of lib
city have been along the war line, and
patriotism has smell of powder. When
the Fourth of July brings no ear-Splitting
hullaboo, it will be we'll to stop and see
if there is not chaSm for the inherited
institutions a little ahead. To shrivel
the ability of the young to celebrate by
imposing burdens upon the essential
material is to put tax upon patriotism.
Yet that is what has been done in the
MCKINLEY act. Every one of.the mill
ions of young patriots on duty this
morning has to pay from 40 to so
per cent. more for his fireworks and
explosives than would be necessary if it
were not for the high duties: They
were higher last year than before on
account of the sinking of a steamer in
midocean containing $4,000 cases of ex-
plosives. This enabled the wholesalers
to go MP from s. cents to S1.40
box. The tariff on imported fire
crackers is s cents pound. This will
add about 80 per cent. to the re-
tail price. Young America will
take note that nearly one-third
of his money goes to Mckinley
ism. Four-ffths or more of the fire.
crackers are made in China and Japan.
The art is not so well mastered in any
other countries. Young America may
be little inconsistent, but he will have
the foreign article, because it does the
celebrating better. Not half-dozen
packs out of a thousand exploded on
this glorious anniversary or Whereabouts
were made in this country; and yet, for
the benefit of these half-dozen, the con-
sumers must pay one-third more on the
whole thousand. The day must be eel
ebrated, at whatever cost, but it is well
enough for those who furnish the boys
the money for explosives to note that
they are paying two cents on each
bunch of fire-craekers in order that a
few manufacturers may have more
profit on their product.

ALBERT EDWARD.

His Game at the Duke of Rich
mond's Country Seat Some Years
Ago.
1t is not generally known that the
Prince of Wales breach of hospitality
in playing baccarat in defiance of the
express wishes of his host at Tranby
Croft was by no means his first offense
against the laws of hospitality and also
of good taste, says the New York Re
corder. He acted in very much the same
fashion some years ago at GoodWOod,
the country seat of the Duke of Rich
mond. Ever since his marriage the
Prince of Wales has been in the habit
of visiting the duke during the annual
GoOdwood races, with the princess and
a large party of royal guests.
The Duke of Richmond, who is now
an old man, is very independent of
mind and possesses great force of char
acter. His horror for gambling is we'll
known. and when. a few years ago, the
princes taste for baccaret became the
talk of London, the duke, on the oc-
casion of the heir apparentS next visit,
told him of his aversion to games of
hazard, and eXacted pledge from him
that under no circumstances should bac-
carat be played during his stay.
The duke makes an inYariable rule of
retiring every night punctualiy at 10
O'Clock, no matter who is present, and,
coniding in the promise of the prince,
although it had been somewhat reluc-
family given, the old peer went quietly
to bed at his usual time. On the third
day of the races. however, the duke,
who had as usual biddeu his royal
guests good night at 10 o'clock, had oc-
casion to come down stairs again about
an hour later.
His horror and indignation may he
better understood than described at
finding the whole royal party seated
around a table in the library and play
ng baccarat for very high stakes, with
1.-THE Prince of Wales acting as banker
So great was the dukes wrath that he
openly protested to the prince against
the way In which his confidence had
been betrayed, the latter presenting
but sorry spectacle during this re-
buke, for he could find no good excuse
for his extraordinary behavior.
The card party was broken up IN
great confusion, and it was never re-
sumed during that or any of the subse-
quent visits at GoodwOod.

ment with frequent explosions. 1t does
not appear that the efforts to reduce the
ocean record greatly enhances the dam
ger. There is probably nothing that
savors of the river recklessness in the
management of the boats. 1t is under
stood to be only question of capacity
of machinery and equipment to realize
the prophecy that the ocean passage can
be reduced to two or three days.
If there is greater danger, 1t
will probably be mainly due to
collision with other boats or ice.
There have been races during nearly
the entire history of steam navigation
of the ocean. The first Atlantic pas
sage was made by the Savannah in 1919.
In 1888 the first race was won by the
Great Western in fifteen days, the dis
lance s, 125 miles. This has been grad
ualIy reduced as the ships have grown
in capacity and perfection. That of
last year was the most exciting, and
made a new record. The Teutonic made
the 1850 miles from Queenstown to
New York in days Is hours and q
minutes. The City of Paris was not far
behind. The latter has just crossed i'll
days hour and 40 minutes. There
are three other 1O,OOO-ton boats of the
great passenger lines that are now com
petiug in speed, and will make the year
more notable than the last for races.
These are the Majestic, Teutonic and
City of New York. Tne Majestic, on
her latest voyage, rather cut under the
record with 1850 miles in days %
hours and 20 minutes. The Teutonic
expects to improve on It's remarkable
time of last year, and the City of New
York does not propose to lag far behind.

ONE IN KANSAS.

While the Republicans are kindly
solicitous lest the Democrats should
blunder to their hurt in the selection of
national candidates next year, the Dem
ocratS exhibit suitable reciprocity, and
would aid the Republicans to get their
men in the field. Ire spreading con-
viction that BLAINE is not in it will en-
able all the ''fayOrite sons" to push up
toward the front. Among the latest is
the one from Kansas. The Republican
papers of that state are generally work
lug it, and, as singular as it may seem,
it is not for INGALLS,. The surviving
Republican senator, PLUMB, is the man.
If he fails of the first place he viii be
an eligible for vice president with any
man likely to be at the head. Kansas
is conceded to be a very doubt
full state, and PLUMB is the most
popular Republican in it. The rea-
sons urged for his peculiar ayaila-
bility are notable. His strength is in
the fact that he was opposed to all the
distinctly Republican measures in the
last congress. He not only voted
against the MCKINLEY bill, but made
some of the best speeches in opposition.
He furnished the Democrats with ma
terial hardly less effective than that af-
forded by Mr.. BLAINE in their rout of
the MCKINLEY party last November.
Then, Mr. PLUMB is opposed to the
dominant element of his party on the
silver question, and did not attempt to
conceal his dislike for the force BILL
These incidents might not help to fire
the heart of the protection and Bourbon
elements of the party, but they would
have to take him. 1t would be little
awkward for Republican apostles to
urge PLUMB on account of his record,
but it comes so near the Democratic
line that it would make trouble for the
Democrats. He is personally popular
man, too, especially with the news
paper men, having been one of them,
who worked his way up from the case.
The PLUME boom may not be as large
as mans hand just now, but it has
possibilities in if that are hardly found
] in any other direction.

THE TICKETS FOR 's2.

1t seems to be safe to remark that any
and unfavored outside the state of New
York are mistaken.-Elmira Gazette
Oem.)
There are many who say that IL Gov.
Campbell can carry OHIO second time
and in the face of the odds apparently
against him, he will be a formidable
figure in the next Democratic conven-
ton, even though Cleveland's courage
in forcing the tariff issue to the front
had made the way for his success. This
would seem certainly to be the case
should Campbell consent to stand on
free-coinage platform, as he did two
years ago; for then the cry would go up
from the Democrats all over the West
and South that the time had come to
cut loose from the East.-Springield
Republican Qnd.)
So great is the Democratic fear of
James G. Blaine that the country is full
of lOw-lived BouTbOnS who would re-
jOice at heart over his physical break
ing down and enforced retirement from
public life. This is shameful. but true
none the leSS.--Cleveland Leader Rep.)
Should fortune favor the Democracy,
and should Gov. Campbell, handicapped
as he is, and against such apparently
desperate odds, succeed in defeating
the Napoleonic Mckinley next Novem-
Der, it would be great thing for the
Democracy. and great honors would
await the victorious leader. Such vie
tory would 90 far towards making him
candidate for the Democratic nomina-
ton for president. - Albany Times
(Dem.)
1t is to be regretted that any of our
Southern contemporaries should have
allowed themselves to be misled into
any movement especially directed
against Mr.. Cleveland. The movement
does not originate with them. 1t is
neither to the political nor the industrial
interest of the South to lend itself to
the schemes of partisan wirepullers IN
an attempt to discredit any leading man
In the Democratic party, and least OF
all Grover Cleveland. Surely the South
does not want to get any honest ana
progressive man "out OF its way
Baltimore Sun Qnd)
If Mr.. Blaine's health permits-and
his present course i'll recuperating his
energies affords the best promise in
that direction-he will be the next Re-
publican nominee for president, and he
will be, beyond comparison, the strong
est candidate the Republicans can Sc
lect.-Pittsburg Dispatch (Rep.)
If the Democratic party should con-
tinue. as it seemed likely it would be-
fore the sudden rise and growth of the
silver agitat ton last winter, to make
tariff reform" its one and only watch
word, and should wage the campaign
of 1892 as duplicate of that of 1888 on
this issue, Mr.. Cleveland would, of
course, be the logical and natural can
didate of the organization. But if free
coinage is to be recognized and affirmed
he can have no place in the race unless
he should revise his opinions and turn
complete political sOmersault. AS it
is now, the nomination of Mr.. Cleveland
on silver platform dictated by the
South and West would be as incongru-
Gus as the nomination of Mr.. Greeley OH
the Baltimore platform of 1872, propped
up by free-traders and enemies of the
negro.-Philadelphia Bulletin (Rep.)

garding Fred Douglass.
WASHINGTON. July 3.-Hon. Freder-
lex Douglass, United States minister
to Havti, who arrived in New York to-
day from Hayti, reached Washington
tonight. Mr.. Douglass is home
on vacation. To re-
norter he said the story that
he was compelled to remain indoors
during the recent trouble in Hayti was
a hoax. Speaking of the revolution,
Mr.. Douglass said for time things
were exceedingly uncomfortable. The
bullets whistled around in manner
which would make any one but vet
eran feel that he was in close quarters.
Mr.. Douglas said he had just come in
from. his country place and he got to the
consulate without loss of time. The
reyolutionists may have thought they
were going TO have an easy time or 1t,
but they were badly in error. President
HippOlyte was equal to the emergency
and they were soon glad enough to flee
to the mountains. lie had warned them
il would be dangerous to make the at
tack. but they thought otherwise. The
insurgents numbered about sixty, but it
appeared to him that they had million
guns and knew how to use them.
All was quiet now, he added, and he
did not think there would be any fur
ther trouble. President Hippolye has
taught the would-be revolutlonists
lesion which they will not soon forget.
He has shown himself a level
headed man and stands higher with his
people than ever before. The president
is exceedingly popular in Port au
Prince. The sooner Hayti, Chilli and
other countries learn the art of elect
ing men and keeping good ones,
said Mr.. Douglass, and not trying revO-
lutionary methods the better it will be
for all concerned. They do not now
seem to realize this, but he believed
the time is coming when they will.
There was no truth in the report that
the state department had recalled him.
