SPAIN IS NOT PLAYED OUT.
Some of our hasty countrymen say
fiippantly that Spain is played out
Never were they more mistaken. The
country is still there, as strong by ma
ture as ever, with resources. ineXhaust-
ed and almost untouched. If France be
richer in soil, Spain is richer in mineral
wealth, and, indeed, is said to be the
richest country in Europe. 1t is over
running with natural wealth; its hills
bring forth copper and its mountains
iron, while it's magnificent coast line
opens its broad-armed ports to invite
the commerce of the world.
Thus situated, no country in Europe
has greater opportunities. 1t needs only
that the Spaniards of today should
come down to the hard ground of real
ity, and on this solid basis reconstruct
the fabric of their country's greatness.
A nation is made up of individuals; it's
strength is merely the combined
strength of millions of men; and the

might be counted, tits impossible to
count when you come to the third and
fourth-yes, and tenth-generation In
Guiding all these, the Spanish nobility
has been estimated, incredible as it
may seem, to comprise nearly one-fif-
teenth of the whole population How
is a higher class so numerous to be
supported? Some may become officers
in the army or navy, but for the great
er part there is no hope of anything
that they can accept, except some po-
sition under the government. To Sc
cure such places, however humble they
may be, or however petty the pay,
there is the fiercest competition.
STRUGGLE FOR APPEARANCES.
"a Spaniard would rather die than
not keep up appearances. If he aspires
to a position in society he will try to
appear rich. or at least Independent,
while in reality he may be desperately
poor. To this end there are two things
which are more important to him than
food or drink-a carriage and a box at
the opera. To show himself on the

In the night he robbed his guest OF 2OO
ducats, and the officer heard him beat
out barrels heads and fill them with
plate, money and jewels" The Span
iards, having saved no provisions, were
forced to buy a few wretched horses,
(which they killed and did eat. ana
some small quantity of butter that the
common people brought also to sell.

the land surface of the globe, and a
twenty-sixth of its total area 1t has
half a dozen men TO manage 1t-ac-

600 of men and women of the more or

the land, he may go for days across 1t

continuous view of a fiat disk. whose

squat, shrinking, unkempt villages and
its sandy districts, wooded with thin
birch or evergreens. Everywhere 1t IS
new, rude and untidy.

Mere beauty alone has been the
weapon by which Otero, the dancer, has
conquered her world. In all the cap

of America she has danced very indif-

the public's interest and admiration.
Hers is the gift by which Helen of old
set the civilized world on fire. Just

REPLY TO TAXPAYER.


Slidell, Ia, Aug II, 1898.
Editor st. Tammany FARNEa:
In your issue of Yesterday there
is a communication from one who
signs himself Taxpayer" He
seems disappointed that he was not
consulted about the election procla.
nation, poor fellow. He has yet
to learn that life is partly made up
of disappointments. but makes his
protest to the wrong parties. lie
should have protested to the Super
vlsors of Election, and not to the
public, and then the Supervisors
would have known who to consult
in the future. But as Taxpayer"
is too general, suppose they must
still 60 on in ignorance. And that
is not all, Mr.. Editor. This ssTax-
payer" has another just cause for
chick. There was no excite
ment, no emitting or shooting, not
even ight-only quietness and
peace. Not even stolen tally
sheet. Such disappointments as
that come only once in life time.
do not suppose he could bear two.
I And, poor fellow, the Ninth Ward
Democratic Club did not consult
him about calling its members to-
gether. But, Mr.. Editor, he did
not state that their Second Lieuten.
ant said that the election would be
all right, even if the notice was
short and tickets were not sent,
and on Monday, before the election,
tried to get the Campaign Com
mittee to take the nominee off and
put their Second Lieutenant on,
and when il was not done, there
Immediately goes up q cry Of lille
gality. And this same Second
Lieutenant, who now sits so high il
the councils of the opposition, wa
only a few months ago advocating
! combination against those TO
whom now he seems to be chic
adviser. But then Mr.. Editor
"Taxpayer" perhaps was not calle'
into consultation on those matters
and of course he was ignorant o
all the moves made ON the politica
chess board of Slidell. Such jig
noring of such an important per
. sonage as Taxpayer" should no
be tolerated, and l would advis
him to tell his troubles to tn
Mayor elect Of Slidell.
Hoping that the Supervisors Q
Election ana all others intereste
will consult the wishes of thi
individual Taxpayer" in tn
future, l remain,
