Present-Day Thoughts.


A glance over South America:- IL
is safe to- predict that, though there is
am uninterrupted stretch of land from
Arctic TO Antarctic i'm the American
continent, there will never be a strong
sense of unity between the two halves
of The continent. As time goes on
and rs wars Of conquest as well as wars
Of commerce, grow into more disfavor
with the human family, there will
undoubtedly be many attempts, like
that of Blaine's reciprocity Treaty, to
bring 10 pass vital union between
North aud South America 1t will be
found too that the approaches in rela-
ton 10 such treaties Of the future will
nearly all take their origin in candid
expression of brothery feeling on the
part Of North Americans. As an
example, look for a moment AT the
generous, almost Quixotic, way in
which the United States took up the
Venezuelan dispute, and with how
little regard or gratitude her noble
-elfforgetfulness is viewed by the Lit
tie Venice Of South America. This is
typical Of what will always be our
experience in dealing with the coun-
tries ON the mainland. south of the
rropic Of Cancer.
The Farmville herald. [volume] (Farmville, Va.) 1890-1934, 1899-09-22


1t may seem daring to prophesy so
far ahead, and yet one is almost
tempted to say that, though "Never
is a long day" there never will be
friendship Of vital character between
ourselves and our southern neighbors.
Mastins and foxes do not run together.
Our ideals are so different and our
leading men so keenly in touch with
all classes Of society, that we cannot
understand aud sympathlze with the
swaddling clothes that bind and con-
fine the voting unit in a South Ameri-
can Republic. Our constant struggle,
expressed i'm the reform movements Of
all GRADES. is to secure for the hum
blest voter "A voice equal in influence
to that of every other voter, no mat
ter how superior in wealth, or educa-
ton, oropportunity. And furthermore
the whole people accepts without any
violence, election after election, the
verdict Of the majority. In the south
ern republics, almost without exception
and particularly i'm the Central
American Republics, the voting ma
chinery is so thoroughly in the hands
of the reigning government and the
army. that revolution becomes almost
the only way Of voicing dissatisfaction.
SO
Destiny would seem to indicate that
the future Of South America will
scarcely be influenced by ideals other
than those now there And therefore,
one can scarcely look upon it as likely
20 experience a broad and rapid de-
velopment. Brazil, the greatest and
,he latest of southern republics, Is
practically closed to American and
British enterprise by reason Of restrlc

Distrust Of the people of their own
c.untry and of the greatest republic on
the American continent is the keynote
of the policy Of the republics Of South
America. Viewed from our more en-
lghtened standpoint, these fiery and
dispuiadous neighbors Of ours do not
understand what human liberty means
aud their republics are tyrannies, in
many cases, tempered by assassination
aud revolution. They regard their own
people with suspicion, then they enter
tain the same feeling for each other
aud are constantly pickering among
themselves over arbitrary lines that
might well be swept in one vast South
American federation. The unreason-
ableness Of their enmities is seen in the
fact that practically all Of the South
American republics belong to what are
called the Latin races, and hence have
ia large measure a common history, a
common literature, and a racial tie.
The Farmville herald. [volume] (Farmville, Va.) 1890-1934, 1899-09-22

Yet their common origin is the very
thing that explains their internal rest
lessness, their continental disputes,
aud their attitude toward ourselves.
The Latin races As we now know them,
and even as they were in the days
when Venice was in its glory, cannot
understand what il means to give free
dom of political choice, and freedom of
religious view to the least as well as to
the greatest Of their members. Even
SD advanced so artistic, and so power
ful q nation as France, may be used as
the strongest possible Illustration of
what Republic is under Latin man
agement The common people are re-
garded by the rulers as mere children
who need watching and whose most
simple acts are constantly under the
eye Of the government, by means Of
the spy system. What is bred in the
bone will come out in the life, and
though South America has entirely
freed itself from Spanish and Portu-
gese dominion, the setting up Of gov
ernments-some of them closely mod
elled upon that Of the United States.
has neither made for quetude among
themselves nor FIR progress that at all
keeps pace with the rest of the world.
This amount Of justice, however, must
be done to the rulers of all Latin re-
publics-they know the characteristics
of their people for plotting and unrest,
and undoubtedly have to watch them
closely i'm order to produce anything
of a permanent character in the way
Of government. See how the dregs Of
humanity asserted themselves in the
Reign Of Reason and the Commune in
France. These two occurrences illus
trate the very dangers that are always
possible in Latin republic, and hence
explain why it satisfies Latin Repub-
lie to give freedom to the people in
word only.

An interesting relic was unearthed
at Herman Thran's ranch in Carson
Valley last week by Jesse Osbourne,
who was working on the place. The
relic is a skull, which, from the size
and shape, would indicate it had been
a white mans head. The fact that
no other bones were found would
seem to corroborate this theory, and
from the tales OF old-timers it is pos
sible that II is a relic OF one OF the
cruelest massacres ever perpetrated
by the Washoe Indians.
In 1859 fierce warfare was carried
on between the Piutes and Washoes,
and at that time Exit" Carson with
four scouts rode into Carson Valley
from Eagle Valley. They lay in am
bush at the very place where the
Thran ranch now is. The Washoes
had burned house further up the
valley. murdered the man and kid
mapped the woman. Carson and one
scout left for the Alpine mountains to
follow up the band who had COM
mitted the deed and to rescue the
woman, leaving the other three. In
the night these three were surrounded
by the Washoes and killed, the heads
buried and the bodies left on the
ground, as was their custom, and after
forty years burial, the skull is on ex-
hibition to remind one OF those bar
barous days.

THE STATE WAS BUNKOED.

San Francisco Chronicle, April 22.-
The State of Nevada is plaintiff in suit
against John Buckley, administrator OF
the estate OF Catherine Welsh Buckley,
to recover s4.727 for her maintsinsnce IN
insane ssylums. The amended com
plant. which was filed in the Superior
Court here Yesterday. states that in 1850.
under the name of Anna Howard, she
was adiudQed insane in Nevada, and as
IL appeared that che had no property and
no relatives to pay for her maintenance,
the State Of Nevsds supported her. She
was sent to the asylum at Stockton, Ne
vada, paying the State OF Cslifornia Tor
caring for her there. When the asylum
was built at Reno, Nevada, she was re-
moved there as an INDECENT insane per-
son. and there died intestate on March
90. 1898. 1t afterwsrd transpired that
in 1880, when she was adjudged insane.
she had IS, ,Ss3 on deposit in the Hiber-
MIA Bank in this city. and at her death
she was worth sll 500. The complaint
states that J. b. Fitch, the Sheriff OF FL
ko county, was appointed in 1850 in Ne
vads as her guardian. and that be secured
her bank pass-book. and it is charged
that he concealed the knowledge OF it
with fraudulent. intent, his design having
been, it is alleged, to convert the money
to his own use. John Buckley succeeded
him as guardian in 1896 and took posses
sion OF the money, and he also suppressed
information as to her ability to pay. it is
alleged,

SHERIDAN KEPT COOL.

In the Winter Of 1875 went to New
Orleans as chairman Of a committee
Of the House of Representatives to in
vestigate and ascertain which of the
rival State governments had the true
title. Louisiana was in terrible con-
dition. Sheridan was in command OF
the United States troops there, and
it was only their presence that prevent
ed an armed and bloody revolution.
The old rebel element, as it was, had
committed crimes against the freed
men and the white Republicans which
make one of the foulest and bloodiest
chapters in all history. Sheridan had
much offended the white people there
by his vigorous enforcement of the
laws, and especially in letter in which
he had spoken OF them as bandits. l
stopped during my stay at the st.
Charles hotel, where Sheridan was also
a guest. When he came into the
crowded breakfast-room every morn
ing there were loud Kisses and groans
from nearly the whole of the assem-
bled company. The morning papers
teemed with abusive articles. The
guests would take those papers, under
score some specially savage attack, and
tell the waiter to take it to Gen. Sheri-
dan as he sat at table at his break
fast. The General would glance at it
with an unruffled face, and bow and
smile toward the sender of the article.
The whole thing made little impression
upon him.-From "Some Political Re-
miniscences, by Senator George F.
Hoar in April Scribner's.

Monstrous wagons.

Wells Herald: Three Of as large
freighting wagons as were ever seen in
Wells are now on the depot platform
waiting to be set up and taken to
Cherry Creek, where they will be
used to haul ore from the mine to the
Starr mill. They completely filed a
box car and appear stout enough to
hold all the lead that could be piled
on them. The axles are four inches
OF solid metal, with heavy wood above.
The thick double tires are six inches
wide and when they have once rolled
over the road, heavily loaded, 1t will
be left as smooth as a boulevard and
as solid as rock.
1t is reported that these monstroui
wagons will be pulled by traction
engine which is now at Toano. 1t il
also reported that the Glasgow Com
pany refused to accept the three wa
gons here because they are not of the
carrying capacity ordered. Every
thing indicates that the Glasgow &
Western company expect to handle ar
immense amount Of ore this season.
