Columbus Voyage.
Times-D Democrat AUG. 3rd,

Yesterday 400 years ago the
greatest discoverer of modern times,
Christopher Columbus, set sail from
Spain for his remarkable voyage which
was to open Il new world to civiliza-
ton. The Importance of his discovery
its effects upon the world-has been
more appreciated every year. 1t was
the turning point in history, and must
chrouologists properly fix ON 1892 as
the beginning of modern history.
The discovery oi ii new continent
created at once Il new activity in Eu-
rope. 1t instilled Il spirit of adventure
into all the nations of Western Europe;
it developed cher merchant marine,
stimulated IN and awoke them
from the ~lethargy of medieval times.
1t was at once recognized that a new
era had dawned on tire world, and
that America was destined to play an
important part in its future history !;
but neither Columbus northe most taI-
seeing prophet could foresee the future
magnitude of America, and that within
tour centuries, the greatest aud richest
OF civilized COMMITTEES would be found
on this side of the Atlantic.
As the fourth centennial of this dis
covery has drawn nearer, the demand
for II proper celebration of the event
has grown stronger and stronger aud
the In;ed States. as the Iaost power
ful 81 the countries which owe their
origin TO Columbus discovery, has
naturally asserted its right to take the
leading part in any Columbus festival.
1t has arranged for the great Column
bian Exposition in Chicago, which will
wei. illustrate the wonderful growth of
this country during four centuries !;
and it will celebrate in proper style
the anniversary of Columbus discov-
cry.
Yesterday marked the first event in
his vcyage-tlle departure of the fleet
from Spain. Not until Oct. IA, can we
celebrate its arrival, for the voyage
across the Atlantic which now requires
but little o than five days, then
called for a trip of seventy-two days
from land to land.

THE ADJOURNMENT OF CON-
GRESS.

The first session of the Fifty second
Congress has at length come to an end,
the passage of the worlds fair bill and
the sundry civil appropriation bill hav-
ing completed the business which has
retarded the adjournment for more
than a week past. The intense heat
and the general desire on the part Of
the members to secure a short period Of
rest before the opening of the active
work OF the presidential campaign
have caused a general demand for ad-
Journment, and it has been evident for
some weeks past that as soon as the
last of the appropriation bills were out
of the way the session would be sum-
marily closed. ts.s4.r s.t.
Judging from the amount of legisla-
ton actually accomplished the first ses
sion of the present Congress has not
been a great success, but it must be re-
membered that the two houses were
controlled by opposing political forces,
which prevented all possibility of an
agreement upon anything not totally
divorced from live political issues. To
the credit of the Democratic House it
must be said, however, that it proposed
a number of importaat. tariff reforms,
which the Senate promptly rejected,
while it was found practically inlpossi-
BILE to greatly reduce the public expen-
ditures because of the additions that
the Senate made to the general appro-
priation bills and the practically con-
tinuous character OF the appropriations
made 10y the preceding Congress. -
The CONTROL of the House by the De-
mocracy was, nevertheless, of vast ben
eft to the country, because that fact
put it out of the power of the Repucli-
cans of the Senate and the administra-
ton to resurrect the ,force bill. The
efforts of the Democratic majority of
the House in the direction of tariff re-
form, eve if unsuccessful owing to tile
opposition of the Senate, have, never
t~heless, gone on record as a pledge of
the determination Of the Democracy to
bring about "a reduction of tariff bur-
densand amore economical adminlstra-
ton of public affairs should the party
be entrusted by the people with full
CONTROL of the Government.-Picayune

The robber tariff must go. The
revolutionary and reasonable Force
Bill, to which the Republican party
is committed, must be downed. The
rich shall not be made richer and
the poor poorer by corrupt legisla-
ton. The laborer is worthy of his
hire and by all the eternal gods he
shall have it. There shall be no
negro domination in the South; the
negro shall be protected but he shall
not rule, for that rule means ruin
Upon these principles the great
Democratic party stands or falls and
the fall of that party means the fall
of free government.-Er.

MIR. Blaine at Deaths Door.

Mr.. Blaine had an alarmingly i'll turn
last Sunday morning about 10 o clock and
for time it was thought he was dying.
All stimulation was thrown aside in the
apparent imminent presence of death, and
the suppressed facts of his illness were
tacitly admitted--the long denied Bright S
disease, the occasional intervals of deliri-
um, the long hours when he has lain in
capable of speech or motion, and the other
distressing features of his illness. Two
physicians We're at his side all day In
the afternoon Nh Blaine rallied and there
was marked change for the better. In
the evening the doctors left him, saying
there was no danger of death during the
next y hours. Senator and Mrs. Hale
We're present during the day and in the
afternoon President Harrison called to in
qure-3n person after MI. Blaine's condi-
ton.
Monday he was more comfortable and
at II a. m the three physicians in attend
ance issued the following bulletin. AL
though Nh Blaine condition during the
Last week has given serious anxiety, yet
at the present moment he is decidedly
better and he is in no Immediate danger.
1t IS impossible to predict what changes
may occur, but his condition this morning
gives more hopeful feeling as to the
progress Of his disease.
MI Blaine maintains this evening the
hold he secured this morning when his
condition showed slight Improvement,
