An Americas Ill.rroa,ed.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Oct. 20.-At least
one American was ill-treated in the re-
cent shaking up in Venezuela. George
F. Underhill, formerly United States
consul at Cuidad, Balivar, Venezuela, is
the complainant. Mr.. UnderHill is the
owner OF a small ship repairing plant
at Cuidad, Bolivar, on the 0rinoca
river. He makes a good livelihood by
repairing vessels plying the orinoco
river. While engaged in this pursuit,
he complains that he was arrested,
thrown into prison and otherwise
roughly treated, for no other reason,
apparently, than to prevent his lending
aid, through the medium Of his repair
shop, to the revoIutionists. He was ar.
rested by the representatives OF the old
government. Mr.. UnderhilPs claim will
be investigated, and if the facts are
found to be az reported, a demand for
proper redress will be made upon the
new government.

The Columbian Idea.

The fight Of four centuries leaves
Christopher Columbus standing as q
colossal historic figure in a remote per-
spective. The admiration of the world,
the praises of the poets, the adulation
of the history, the lurid glare Of legend
have made him almost more than hui
man and almost taken him out OF
touch of real men and real things.
1t is the great glory OF Columbus that
he was a real man, moved by real i'm.
pulses, with real human weaknesses,
and vet a strong man whose strength
of character and intensity OF purpose
steered his course on a straight line
and furnished the marvellous motive
power for his career.
What We know Of the history of this
real man shows that he was made OF no
common clay. He might be discour-
aged, rebuffed, reviIed, treated ga mad
man. thrown into prison-still he held
to the n idea and nothing could shake
his belief in the thing he had reasoned
ont. Success was his vindication, and
vet he never knew how great was the
measur of his success, nor ever reaped
any considerable part OF the reward
which he had so richly earned.
The idea OF Christopher Columbus
was discovery. The Columbian idea Of
to-day should bo preservation. This
continent is more to us who inhabit it
than it was to the daring navigator who
discovered it. The great nation which
inhabits the greater part of this great
