Was Columbus a Pirate?


The Sunday-school idea of Christopher
Columbus has recently suffered consIdera-
able mutilation. The fact that we are SO
soon to celebrate the 40Oth anniversary OF
the discovery OF America has naturally set
the historians fresh upon the trail OF the
great discoverer. New sources OF historl-
cal information have been found IN the
archives of Europe and instead OF being
a sanity individual. who proceeded 20 dis,
cover this country on the most approved
Sunday school literature plan, Columbus
was as wild blade as ever sailed the seas
over. In the first place 10 IS very Oubtful
whether Columbus was his real name.
In the next, 1t has been shown conclu-
siyely that he was pirate, and that he be-
longed TO one of the most merclless bands
that ever scuttled snip. Later on IN
life Columbus was shipwrecked on the
shores of Spain. and he was induced by
circumstances. to give up his piratical pro-
fesslon aud marry IL is freely charged
that IN the New World he plundered the
Indians in order 10 satisfy the rapacity OF
his patrons IN Spain, and he also became
slave-trader. In short, Columbus was
the product Of his time. and not much
better or worse than the rest Of his con-
tempOrarles.
The attempt of one of his critics, Mr.
Justin WinsO-. TO make him out mean
spirited creature. however, falls entirely
to the ground. The man who conceived
the bold project of sailing round the world
of waters. penetrating that mysterious and
illimltable ocean, and continuing until he
came 10 India on tho other side. was no
coward. IL was the most adventurous
conception that has in all the centuries
dswned upon the mind of man, and 1t will
forever vlndicate Columbus from the
charge Of craven spirit. No matter
how many dark crimes he was engaged in
IN that dark age. no matter how many In.
dians he sold into captivity, that splendid
dream of adventure. which resulted in the
discovery Of America, will always entitle
him to be ranked among the worlds great
est men.

LESSONS FROM HISTORY.
How James X. Polk and Franklin Pierce
Were Nominated.
IT. .fBe r,Tffo,. n 8 ybo D,sn1fcb.

To NE Ediior Of the DlsDdtch'
One Of the tenets of the old Democracy
was tersely expressed in these words :
Measures. not men" Mr.. Bolts proposed
an amendment, Measures and men" but
the Democrats stuck to their own.
TIE application Of the principles herein
inoulcated resulted invariably IN the sue
cess of the national Democracy.
4 shall clte two memorable instances
from our party annals in confirmation oil
tha preceding statement.
IN 1894 Martin Van Buren, the pet OF
General Jackson and the idol OF his party,
opsniy opposed tho annexation of Texas.
Democratic measure. He did this because
he felt suro of his strength, or, IN other
words. he felt sure that he was stronger
tdan his party.
When tho National Democratic Con-
yentiou of that year had assembled there
was manifested considerable want OF
unanimitv. Mr.. Van Buren, received.
though. a clear majority on the hrst ballot
Of an the votes.
But subsequently, losing ground, the
New York and the Virginia delegations
deemed IL advisable 70 retire and consult
separately. Upon returning 10 the con
ycntlon Mr. Koane. Of Virginia, on behalf
Of his delegation, presented the name or
IHluNS T.. IOlk anu WIS ttNOuNth ~ AA3
New Yorkers, who Immediately thereafter
withdrew the name Of Mir Van Buren,.
TpOn the next OF ninth ballot Mr.. POLK
received all the votes, and ut tho ensuing
election defeated Mr. Clay, the idol OF the
Wings, by a majority of 70 votes in the
electoral colleges.
Not content with smashing one party
idol, virginia later on proceeded 20 smash
& whole group that had been set up III the
baltimore convention of 1852.
Lewis Cass. James Buchanan, stephen
4. Douglas. and William l.. Marcy were
tho Big Four OF that period. Ballot
upon ballet WAS taken without result
~ c01y0nticu merely voting pluralitles-.
till the Virginia delegation, having retired
for consultation, returned aud cast their
votes for Fran kiln Pierce, of New Hamp-
shire. VINO on the forty-ninth ballot re-
ceiyed the unanimous vote of the conyen-
ton. -.
The wisdom of the image breaking Yir-
einlans was approved afterwards, when
General Scott. big with the. prestige OF
military renown, received the electoral
votes OF Massachusetts,. Vermont. Tonnes
see. and Kentucky and Franklin Pierce
all tho rest.
Shall we not do well TO follow the ex-
annie of tho men OF 1914 and 1852?
