Mr.. Mills to the Authors OF His Defeat

The Fort Worth Gazette has printed a let
ter which 1t says the Hon. ROGER Q. MILLS
wrote to a friend In Austin just after the
election Of Mr.. CRISP by the Democratic
caucus. Concerning his own defeat. Mr..
MrLts remarks:
Tho blow to mo IA much less than It 10 to the
Democratic party The authors of my defeat must be
rebuksd by the Democratic party or large element
that has been voting with will abandon rs in the
coming struggle. Tho defeat Of one man Is nothing.
but the defeat OF great cause is everything"
II this letter is genuine. 1t is frank con-
fession that the movement to elect Mr..
Mills as Speaker was a Mugwump and
free trade enterprise and nothing else. No.
body who understood the situation doubted
that such was the case. and here the de-
feated candidate squarely admits It.
The fact that Mr.. MILLS is capable OF TAX
ing Just this view Of the relative Importance
= of Democracy and Mugwumpery is in itself
sufficient justification for turning that
statesman down.
But Mr.. MILLS is quito right when he says
that the defeat Of one man Is nothing. while
the defeat Of great cause Is everything.
His personal sufferings are Of little conse-
quence In comparison with the safety Of tho
Democratic cause.

The Nickel Congress.

This name is applied In derision to the
Democratic House Of Representatives. in the
Nity-second Congress by some OF the Re-
publican apologists OF the Billion Congress.
In the Billion Congress the Republican
policy OF reckless extravaganza had full
swing, and that body went to smash In No.
vember, 1880. by the decree Of an indignant
, nation.
The Nickel Congress is thus styled. we
suppose. because 1t is pledged in advance
by every consideration Of honor. public
duty. and political common sense to o
policy exactly the opposite OF that which
has rendered the Fifty-hrst Infamous

any other man now In public life represents

OF voting, is the true cure for the evil" These

according TO DR.. vIaFussoN was written a.
early ns 12eO-so. Referring to tho date
1000. this manuscript records: " Wineland
the Good found. That summer King OLAF
sent LEFT to Greenland to proclaim Chris
tianity there. He sailed that summer to
Greenland. He found In the seq men upon
O wreck and helped them. Then found
he also Wineland the Good and ar.
rived in the autumn ut Greenland"
Almost Identical with this record Is
the account Of the discovery In the 30.
called longer Saga Of OLAF TRYaa-
vAsoN occurring in o manuscript dating
from about the year 400. The passage
runs: King OLAF then IA. d. lo0ol sent
LErp Ericsson to Greenland to pro-
claim Christianity. LEFT sailed that
summer to Greenland. He rescued q
ships crew at sea who were IN great
peril, and on this same voyage he
found Wineland the Good. and at the end OF
the summer arrived In Greenland" Again.
In the Collectanea OF Middle-age Wisdom,
q manuscript written partly In Icelandio
and partly in Latin. between tho years
l4Oo-145o. 1t is stated that southwark from
Greenland is Helluland, then Is MARYLAND;
thence It Is not far to Wlneland the Good.
., LEIF the Lucky first found Green
land" The same geographical position Is
assigned to vlneland In the vellum frag-
ment numbered 738 In the Arna- Magnaean
Library: From Greenland to the south.
ward lies Helluland. then MARYLAND: thence
1t is not far to Wineland." So. too. in an
other vellum fragment. probably written
about the year 14O0. 1t L. said: "South from
Greenland lies Helluland. then MARYLAND;
thence 1t is not far to lneland." The Eyrbyg-
gia Saga. the oldest extant manuscript. re-
mains Of which date back to about the year
1900. has the following words: AFTER the
reconciliation between STErNHoR and the
people OF Apta-hrth. THoBBRAND's sons,
SNoRRI and THoRLE1F. went to Greenland.
SNoRRI went to Wineland the Good with
KARIsErNI. and when they were fighting
with the Skrellings there In Wineland
THoRBRAND SNoRRAsoN. a most valiant
man. was killed." In the Icelandio Annals,
also. the oldest OF which is supposed to
have been written in the south Of Iceland
about the year 1850. mention ia made Of
vineland. Under the year 1871 1t Is re-
corded that Bishop ERIC UPPsr sought
Wineland." The same entry Is found in
other chronological lists.
Here. then. are q large number OF purely
historical references to the Morse discovery
Of America set down in such o manner as to
indicate that the knowledge of the fact was
widely diffused. Most Of them are earlier
in date than the three Sagas which Mr..
BANCROFT and Mr.. W1NsoR imagine to have
been the sole witnesses to the reality Of the
voyages to Vineland. They confirm the
utatapopfa NJ fhooa So0aa. huk taken nv
themselves. they would suffice to establish
the truth Of the discovery although the
Sagas had never been written. 1t Is well
that this fact should be put beyond ques-
ton In the year 1892. when the equally acci-
dental discovery Of the New World by
COLUMBUS is to be commemorated.
