He adds: "PersOnally we have nothing
against Aguinaldo. We do not regard
ourselves as his enemies or his intimate
or personal friends. Agunaldo is himself
a person of lever rank. who has little or
no education and no knowledge of how
governmental affairs should be conducted.
lie is a creature Of circumstances having
placed himself at the head Of & reVolu-

people Were ripe for it, and in spite Of
the fact that he once sold out to Span
iards, he was nevertheless received with
open arms upon his return and placed
himself at the frCnt in favor of revolving
against Spain. which was popular with the
people. In this manner he pushed him
self to the head of the revolutionary
movement. But his government the peo-
pie cannot trust. We do not know what
he is going TO do next. His lieutenant
general is a Chinaman. with no education,
and is scarce able TO Steak the Spanish
language, and this is 10 large extent the
character of men with whom ne has sur
rounded himself. They are not men OF

the people can place confidence. We cam

for Spain. She became in a short
time the great explorer and colonizer
of the world, and her brilliant con-
quests were well calculated to turn
the heads Of any people. Her adj
venturers went forth and conquered
and plundered the simple people of
the new world OF untold treasure,
which was poured into the imperial
treasury and into the pockets of the
people. They ravaged South and
Central America and Mexico with a
cruelty and barbarity that almost sur.
pass belief Never were there hung
rier or more inhuman freebooters
than those which she sent forth to
the western world, and never did rob-
bers and pirates alight upon richer or
easier prey. Ready to hand and to
be had for the taking, from the peace
full inhabitants, were such treasure
and wealth as the world had never
before dreamed of.
Simultaneously with these cruelties
abroad came the inquistion at home
and the persecution Of the Jews.
Whoever reads of them will find that
the present generation of Spaniards
come By their cruel instincts honestly.
In this era Spain annexed to the
crown the major portion of the west
ern continent and seemed likely for
time to add to it the best portions of
Europe. At one time practically the
whole of South America, Genital
America, Mexico and the whole of
the present territory of the United
States west of the Mississippi together
with the peninsula of Florida, ac.
knowledged her sway. But this era
did not last long. Her European al
liances began to fall off, the stream
of wealth from the west did not last
always, and she had not the wit nor
ability to make up for the gains of
robbery by those of industry. At the
time of the Napoleonic wars she fell 4
victim to the ambition of the Corsi-
can, who placed his brother on her
throne; later a Frenchman of the
house of Bourbon came to the sue
cession, and within the present cen
tury she lost all of her American pos
sessions except Cuba and Porto Rico,
which she now holds by so slender a
thread. She has only her pride left,
and that is founded, not upon the
present, but upon very questionable
plst.-E1.

of the comet discovered recently
by Professor Perrine of the Lick
