The Deceived spapinrds.

Ruskin says that one of the most
restful things in the world is to d,scov-
er the height, and breadth, and depth,
and intensity of ones own ignorance.
Senior Pi Margau, Spanish Republic
an leader, and editor of FL Nuevo Reg
linen, seems TO be taking some rest in
that way. Great emergencies develop
great men. At last there has appeared
a Spanish editor with some horse sense.
Senor Pi INDUCES first in some re
marks on this war; the drift of which
is, II told you So" He says that for
his part he always was opposed to war,
and did not see any reason for not rec
ognizing the independence of Cuba.
Then he points out the fact that in one
battle the Spanish nation lost eleven
ships and six hundred sailors, and that,
as a result, the enemy has got Manila.
There is also likely TO be a fight in the
Atlantic Ocean, and Senior Pi inquiries,
with shiver, IF victory does not ia
vor US there, what will become of us?"
Without absolute certainty on the
subject of a future life, ii would be i'm
possible to answer this question, but We
can assure Senior Pi Margall that the
chances are that more Spaniards will
be, and that Spain herself will be likely
to meet the fate reserved for nations
who rashly provoke quarrel with a
foe many times too big for them 1t is
refreshing to find a man who seems able
to understand these statements when
once they are made. Ii is the most
hopeful sign that has appeared in the
Spanish press since the beginning of
hostilities.
Then Senior Pi explains how it hap
pened that Spain so confidently under
took this war. He says that it was all
due to an objectionable deception. THE
country has been deceived" he ex-
claims, with pathetic dismay. Here
tofore the United States have been rep
resented to be merely a nation of mer-
chants, unfit for war, incapable of
standing a long struggle, lacking a
navy, and imbued only with a greed
for gold" This is bad enough, but ii
is not all the wrong that Spain has
suffered. Listen, ahi listen TO this:
Ii was concealed from us that this same ma
tion had fought two wars with Great Britain,
one with Mexico. and also the Civil Var in 1861
which gave liberty TO the slaves
As an argument this is not much. but
as a swan-song of the Spanish editor
it is most beautiful. The light that has
| dawned upon Senior Pi Y Margall is
something stunning. Up to this time
he and his countrymen have been de-
ceived in some of the commonest facts
The times., 1898-06-21

of general history. Any Spaniard who
reads English and can command the
price of a history of the United States
may confirm the statement of TSenor Pi.
He will also find in that history some
other interesting facts which go to
prove that the whole business of the
United States is not, as has been sup
posed, the canning of pork. If all this
trouble and expense-we are nation of
shopkeepers and the war IS costing US
a million dollars "a day-has been
caused merely because the Spaniard
was deceived in our history, it might
have been a good thing for the peace
at-any-price people to distribute some
literature of a primary school sort
among the 40 per cent of the Spanish
population who can read. The density
o. such ignorance is something appail-
ing. 1t almost accounts for that prod
uct whose origin has hitherto been en-
veloped in mystery-the Spanish lie.
