CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS.

In to-day's issue we print in full on the
first page the instructive letter addressed
by Pope Leo to the archbishops and
bishops Of Spain, Italy and the two
Americas on Christopher Columbus and
his great discovery. Everyone who is
familiar with the life of the great Italian
navigator and discoverer is aware Of the
fact that to Spain is due the entire credit
of equipping Columbus for the voyage
which resulted in the discovery OF the
New World, and hence it is appropriate
that the Pope should give Spain the first
place in this letter. 1t was Spain that
gave Columbus the necessary money,
men and ships to start on westward
voyage to find passage to eastern Asia,
after he had vainly sought aid for many
years from other European countries.
Had it not been for the eloquent pleading
of Father Juan Perez with Queen Isa-
bella to furnish Columbus with the
means for making the voyage, the discov-
erer of America would have died in OBJ
security and future generations would
have never heard of him or paid honor to
his memory. Friday, August 8, 1892, was
the ever memorable day on which Colum-
bus set sail from Palos, in Spain. His
little feet was composed of the Santa
Maria, the Pinta and the Nina, the first
being the flag ship of which he was adj
miral. It was placed under the protec-
ton of the Blessed Virgin and bore a
banner on which was representation of
the Saviour. The men in the Santa
Maria numbered sixty-six in all, the most
of them being from Seville. There we're,
however, one Englishman, one Irishman,
two Italians and.two Portuguese on the
flagship, but on the other two ships the
sailors were all Spaniards. The entire
number in the first voyage was 100. Be-
fore sailing they all partook of holy COM
munion and received the benediction of
Father Perez. On Friday, October IL,
1892, Columbus landed on one of the
Bahama islands, which he called San
Salvador, which means Holy Saviour.
That day is the anniversary which the
Pope requests the hierarchy to celebrate
with august ceremonies. President Har
rison has designated Friday, October 81,
as the day to be observed as legal holt
day in commemoration of the event.
The date fixed by the government does
not agree with that which the Church
has selected, or that which history gives
for the discovery, but the discrepancy is
owing to the change from the old to the
new STYLE of reckoning time.

DEWITT TA1MAGE, while recently in
England, told his audience that the
Queens name is never mentioned in
America without eliciting rapturous ap-
plause. He told them also that when he
prays in America for the President he ie
apt to add "God save the Queen" We
venture to say that Talmage is the only
American preacher who prays for Vic
toria and that his prayer for her is not
likely to do much good for the old
woman.

JUDGE THOMAS CAVITY, Judge VIM
Mitchell and Hon. Daniel Buck, the
nominees of the Democratic party for
judges of the supreme court, are we'll
known throughout the entire state.
Judge Canty's ability is recognized by
all and there is no doubt of his election.
Judge Mitchell is admitted to be the
ablest jurist on the supreme bench.
Daniel Buck is popular with all classes
of the people and has been an ornament
to the bar of the state for many years.

A NAN named William Henderson, who
is prisoner in Glasgow jail, has con-
fessed that he is one of the murderers Of
Lord Leitrim and Lord Mountmorres
who were shot in Ireland about twelve
years ago. The prison commissioners
are investigating his story but outside
police circles the confession finds few be-
levers. None Of the persons concerned
in the killing OF the two landlords have
ever been brought to Justice.

The venerable Col. John H. Stevens, the
oldest resident of Minneapolis, declined
to be candidate for presidential elector
at large on the Democratic ticket, for
the reason that all his time is devoted to
the interests Of agriculture, horticulture,
forestry and promology. He thinks that
in his old age he can serve the people to
much more advantage in agriculture
than in politics, and we are inclined to
agree with HIM.

appropriations BY the Republican party.
Il now takes $40o, Ooo. 600 70 meet the
expenses Of the government, or about IS
per capita for every man, woman and
child in the country. The Democrats
can run the government more economi-
cally than that. They favor the imposi-
ton Of a fair tariff on imported goods to
defray the expenses. and that tariff will
serve as sufficient protection to Ameri-
can industries. High protective tariff is
species of robbery which takes money
from the masses for the benefit Of the
Carnegies.

MI. MCCARTHY sdysstnAb 8IC0r the IOrMd-
ton OF tho Liberal ministry an adjourn
ment will b taken until the usual meet
ing in January, and then the first thing
introduced will be the Home Rule meas
ure. The New York Sun is Of the opinion
that the Irish members will make grand
mistake If they allow British measures
to be first passed, with the single excep-
tion of bill for the payment Of members
including an arrangement to transfer the
costs of elections from the candidates to
the community. It is pleasing to record
that the Irish members of both wings are
resolved to work together in the interest
of Ireland and act with extreme caution
to prevent the Liberals from getting 80
strong that they could act Independently
of them. They will block the way OF
legislation for Great Britain until the
Irish question is settled to their satisfac-
ton. They suspect the Wings, and
though they have the utmost confidence
in Gladstone they will see to it that his
party cannot delay granting justice to
Ireland. The Home Rule bill OF 1886 was
forced from Gladstone after he had failed
to subdue the Irish by coercion. The
Irish members axe now in position to
coeree Gladstone, and his party to keep
their pledges. Tie Liberal party has no
working maj rity without the Irish men,
bers and the latter are determined to
keep it in that predicament until Home
Rule is given. United Ireland, the organ
of the Redmondite party, says that dur
ing all his political career Mr.. Parnell's
policy was to remain steadfast and in
flexible in any position he had deliber-
ately taken up until he had forced his
opponent into tight corner. and felt
himself strong enough to drive good
bargain. The Irish party will follow the
principles of the great Irishman and in
sist on the Liberal party dealing first and
finally with the Irish question, and AS far
as in them lies, they will force the Liber-
ais to keep their promises.

Gen. Wolse1ey on 1relands

Gen. Lord Wolseley has written the
following letter to Rev. David E. Viii
hanson, of Kirkmaiden, Scotland, and
disown his Irish kinship: am afraid /
cannot claim to have drop of Irish blood
in my body; and my grandfather was the
first of my belongings who was born in
Ireland. We are Stafordshire family,
and come from w olseley, where we have
been for at least three or four centuries
before the conquest of England. am
very fond of Ireland and of the Irish
people. among whom I was brought up.
I have been very little there, however,
since I was boy. remember seeing
the book you refer to years ago, which
gives an account of my boyhood full OF
inaccuracies. But life 10 too short to
correct all the nonsense that is published
about one nowadays, and I have no
time for such work, even if I had the
inclination to put busy bodies right.
Irish history is wrapped in Qbscurity
One thing only is certain, that there
never was kingdom OF Ireland. No
man ever ruled there until we conquered
it. At present the only prosperous part
of Ireland is that region where the peo-
pie speak broad Scotch, and have Scotch
names, and are Professionals like the
Scotch.
Ny family's connection with ireland
began with a Colonel Wolseley who
fought in the Protestant North, and won
some hard fought battles there, as you
will find in Macaulay's History Of l689-90.
Our Irish property is, however, I am
sorry to say, in Wexford, Carlow and
County Dublin. We used to be on very
good termswith our tenants; but now ]
hear from my COUSIN, Sir Clement
Wolseley, that none Of his people ever 60

wishes, I remain, very sincerely yours,
