spain's Treatment of Columbus.

From the Mexico Two Republics.
Some Of the Spanish papers in the contro-
versies of the past few weeks have accused
Americans of ingratitude toward the land
which sent Christopher Columbus on his
VOYAGE Of discovery While Spain OF rath-
err Queen Isabella, is entitled to the credit
Of that great navigator's achievement the
former has no special reason for pride I'm
recalling her treatment of him.
Columbus himself was not Spaniard,
and 1t was only after years of weary wait
ipg that he secured the authority and aid
TO make his first voyage. After the first
excitement of his discovery wore off Col
umbus experienced oil the fickleness, in
gratitude and treachery of the Spanish
character From one of his voyages he was
sent home in irons. After Queen Isabella's
death the king, Ferdinand, who never was
friendly to the one man who had made
his reign famous, treated him with shame
full neglect and Columbus, who had added
a new world to the possessions of Spain,
died in poverty and disgrace. 1t was char
acteristic of his adopted people and of the
migrate king that a pompous funeral was
accorded to the remains of the man
who, while living, had been turned out, like
an abused and abandoned horse, to die in
penury and neglect. The dust of Christie
pher Columbus now reposes In the cathe-
dral of Havana. Should Spain be driven
from Cuba il is TO be hoped that in aban-
doning the last of her American possessions
she will leave on the soil of the new world
discovered by him the remains of the great
explorer of whose achievements and glory
she proved herself unworthy.

Savannah is a wonderfully beautiful city,
with broad streets, numerous open squares
and white-paInted buildings and a cheerful
sense of light and space. It is one of the
strongholds of the old Southern aristocra-
cy, but its sultry climate is too subversive
of energy to make 1t an agreeable resi-
dence for a Northerner. In the winter it Is
filed with people who either come for the
season or stop on their way to and from
Florida. In the country roundabout the cli-
max is reached of everything that Is un-
interesting in Southern scenery The broad
river looks like floor of red thing, so
smooth as It and so discolored by the red
soil through which it flows. Like the wo-
man in Bonaventure we were conscious of
some ruffling of our Northern blood when
we failed to find the names of the streets
An entire absence of signboards or guide
posts that would give you a clew to the
locality seems to be a Southern character
astic. This Indifference to small things that
affect ones personal comfort extends to
such unimportant matters as door or win
dow fastenings.

publican.
We afterward, in moving toward Savan-
nah, found the farmer of the region better
informed, and the weird cemetery of Bon
aventure gave abundant evidence of the
love of the people for flowers and trees. The
Enclosures of dingy-colored sand, the moan
of the leafless branches with their long
streamers of gray moss darkening the air,
the somber murmur of the river-all these
combine TO make 1t one of the most de-
pressing places in the world. The rhythmic
motion of the moss as it sways back and
forth, and the soft rustic of ats tendrils
swelling at intervals into a great volume
of sound, reminds you of everything that
is unearthly and eerie of which you have
ever heard-the Greek fates, the witches in
Macbeth. the song of the valkyrie the
chant of Deborah, or the lamentaton of
Job-but when one moves about this place
of graves, quite another feeling follows
this first impression. Every square plot
where the dead are laid, is a small paradise
of poisoning things. Masses of purple vio-
lets, of hyacintns and jessamine and cam
elias, bloom in the shade of trees scarlet
with the holly berry and glistenlng with
leaves and high above swings the long
tassels of the moss and the birds build
their nests in the huge limbs of the dead
trees. 1t would be worth while just once
TO see Bonaventure without the presefice
of the omnipresent tourist. One would be
spared the memory of comments like these
Il don't see why every one tells you that
you must come out here. Net a macadam-
lied road or spear of grass anywhere. We
wouldn't put up with such slack ways in
