Between these two lies the judg-

such, but not, let us hope, from
any sectarian bias on religious

ranked Mr.. Justin Winsor, who is

Mr.. Charles Deane, our highest
American authority on all questions
relating to the discovery and settle
ment of this continent. No serious
historical student would be likely
to claim that Mr.. John Fiske, for
instance, was as yet to be ranked
beside either of these as a histori-
cal scholar. Yet Mr.. Winsor, in

Charles Francis Adams, also a
high historical authority, expresses
frankly the opinion that it would

the whole, if Columbus had moi
discovered America, since some one
el Sc would undoubtedly have done
it within a century or SO, and the
long reign of Spanish cruelty might
have been averted. In this critic,

tits probably thai Columbus, if
he had visited America during the
last few weeks, would have found
that four hundred years had afford
ed no wholly satisfactory balm for
the sorrows of his lifetime. He
would have found that the majority
of Colum bian orators have talked
more a bout themselves and about
what their contemporaries have
than about what Columbus did.
And where he was the theme of dis
cussion he might have shrunk alike
from the overweening praise of
those who would canonize him as
saint, and from the rather blunt
assent of those who condemn him
as a sinner. These are undoubted-
ly multitudes of honest Catholics
to whom the most tangible side of
the anniversary day was the papal
dispensation which for once allow
ed them to have meat for dinner on
Friday. And on the other hand
the day seemed of no value to some
estimable Protestants except as
afording an opportunity to de-
