Thc Importance of the Spanish Ian
guape.

4 correspondent writes us saying that
the .reatest difficulty he finds in extend
ing his business with Mexico is his
wan of knowledge of the Spanish Ian
guage, and although he employs a Span
ish clerk TO answer his correspondence
wi the American countries which
speak that language, he wishes US TO ad-
wise Young America to learn the Spanish
language if they want to do business in
this continent in the future. Our cor
respondent is right. We have said in a
previous issue Of Mexico ModernO that
the diff-reica In languages is somewhat
of a barrier 20 commerce.. This hemi-
sphere ia~ practically but two languages

Pata-. onia, witt the exception of Brazil,
and this Suggests very torclbly that the

1t is gratifying. therefore, that 10

is surplanting French and German.

is taught in all the colleges. 1t needs
to be q very narrow minded person who
denies that Spanish is the more useful
for practical purposes for Americans,
especially Americans of the future. 1t
is, and always will be, the language of
commerce from the end of Pat goina
and if this country hopes some day
to command the trade of the
Spanish nations, Spanish,
and not French or German, will be the
language more needed for them. 1t IS
the language more than $4,000 people of
this American continent, and unlike
the English, which is quite hard to
learn, the Spanish is an easy language
to acquire.-Mexico Moderno.

The Governors Reception

There seems to be some misunderstood
ing as to the the time of holding the
reception and ball for the governor. In
forming the various committees now is
to initiate the proceeding, and ge!
things in readiness for a successful re-
suit. After the committees confer
there will be time fixed to suit the
Governors convenience. 1t is desirable
that all should attend who may wish
to. The affair will probably come off at
the conclusion OF Lent.

"B. r. TiLLMAN. Governor.

COLUMBIA, S. c., May 28.-Jones, the
triple Edgeield murderer, is to be tried
at the next term of court in Lexington
County, the change of venue having
been made some months ago, but Solic-
itor n elson has had some doubts Of his
ability to secure the States witnesses
from Edge6eld, on account of the fact
that there was no provision made for
the payment of their per diem and
mileage. He accordingly wrote to the
Governor suggesting that he pay these
expenses out of his contingent fund,
and in response to this request the Gov
ernor yesterday wrote to him as fol-
lows:
My DEAR SIR: Your letter of yes
terday, asking that arrangement be
made for paying the expenses OF wit
nesses in the Jones case, came to hand
this morning. am very anxious that
no delay shall occur in bringing that
matter to an end, and I will pay out of

cover actual expenses, not to exceed
the amount named by you-S85. l do
this with the express understanding
that you will insist on trial at any
and all hazards.

whom the cohorts of Wall street nomi-

practically out of the fight IN 1892.
They were left in a forlorn condition

can play next year is to act as the
miners and sappers OF the other party.

The great work to be done is thai of

The talk of played-out politician
like Weaver is of no consequence, but
the spirit of his remarks pernleated all
the speeches and the entire convention,
and can not he disregarded. mr. CleVe-
land is the victim OF circumstances and
his own action. The engineers Of the
new movement know very well that
they can not retain their hold upon the
great mass of Republicans who COM
prise their forces if there arises in their
minds the slightest suspicion that they
are being led into the Democratic camp.
Consequently some Democrat must
serve as target along with tine makers
of Mckinley bills, and Mr.. Cleveland
happens to be the most conspicuous
mark. He greatly facilitated the exc

against free silver, thus presenting to
the leaders of the Alliance sufficient
excuse for designating him as slave
of Wall street-and mention Of Wall

Ingalls, Views,

HUTCHINSON, Kansas, May 27.-At a
meeting of Republican editors of the
Seventh Congressional District letter
from ex-senator ingalls, was read and
warmly applauded. Among other
things the letter said: The Republi-
can party is confronted with great
problems which threaten its supremacy.
If we are to succeed we must deal with
the issues of to-day as we dealt with
slavery, secessian and State sovereignty
thirty years ago. The Republicanism
of the future must readjust itself to
the changed conditions of American
life or it will perish. l wish to save it
from this fate by recalling the spirit Of
energy, aggressive and patriotic force
of the founders to the campaign of
1892. This will be Waged upon economic
and practical questions, and not upon
memories or motions. Harrison will
be renominated and Cleveland will be
his antagonist. IT we have courage
and conscience it will be AusterlitZ. II

promise with unprinci lied leaders and
sneer at honest differences of judgment

of the peoples party inaugurated at

craftsmanship, the men who have Or
ganized and controlled our great tinan-
cial enterprises, VIII have enacted our
laws and devoted lives Of fidelity to all
legitimate public interests, haven't
raised their voices in the clamor of dis
content which comes from the Cincin-

any considerable number of leading
men of either of the great parties of

of this new party. 1t will be largely
made up of perhaps well meaning, but

CLOSE ON ITS HEELS.
THE "CHARLESTON" SlxTY-FVE
MILES BEHIND The "ITATA.n

Both Vessels Going at Full speed-They
Were Met by the "ColimaD-Rumors
That the Insurgent Leaders VIII Give
Up the "Itata."
SAN FRANCISCO. May 25.-The first
authentic news about the Itata since she
left this port, was received here to day.
The steamship Colima, which has just
arrived from Panama and way ports, re-
ports that she spoke both the Itata and
the Charleston.
The Itata was met at 1852 o'clock
the morning of the 18th inst, going
south at full steam, sixty-ive Lailes
from Acapulco. At $50 p. m. the same
day the Colima spoke the Charleston
130 miles from Acapulco.
Capt. Remy, of the Charleston, asked
the captain of the Colima it he had seen
the Itata. He answered in the afir-
native, and then the United States
cruiser went straight on her way. Ev-
identity the Charleston missed the pirate
steamer by only about one hundred and
twenty miles, by putting into Acapulco.
The Esmeralda's rnn out of Acadulco
and back again, about the time OF the
Charleston's arrival, was clearly made
to warn the 1tata, which kept off shore.
If She has coal enough to carry her to
Iquique, she will be able to carry a. !,
to the insurgents, otherwise she ST
stop at Panama, where the Ca:". ..sUon
will probably catch her.
It is rumored here to day that insur-
gent leaders have agreed to deliver the
Itata to the United States authorities
or her arrival at Iquique and that there
fore the Charleston will make no fur
ther serious efforts at capture.
When the EsmeralGa first entered
port at Acapulco she saluted the fort
with twenty-one guns, which salute was
not returned. On the following day her
commander made an official visit to the
commandant of the military forces.
