PORTUGUESE TO CELEBRATE
DA CAMA'S DISCOVERY

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
A celebration is about to take place
in several cities of the United States
and in some other parts of the world
which will furnish an impressive Illus
tration of the rise and fall of nations.
The Portuguese residents of New York,
Boston and Philadelphia, and, of
course, the Portuguese of Portugal are
going to observe, on Aug. 29, the 400th
anniversary OF VasCo De Gama's dis
covery of the passage to India. This
event has a special interest for the
United States, for it was India, and not
new world, that columbus was look
ing for when he discovered the Western
hemisphere. When the Turks, by the
capture of Constantinople in 1853, cut
off the road to India by way of the
Mediterranean and the Red sea, and
also by the Mediterranean and the
Black sea, Europe was forced to look
for route by way of the Atlantic.
Columbus, in the service of Spain, on
the theory that the earth was a globe,
proposed to look for India by sailing
west. Da Cana and the other Portu
guese sought India by going south and
rounding the continent of Africa. In
the rivalry between the two nations
Portugal was successful. Columbus in
1892 discovered what he thought was
India, but what Were some of the ISL
ands of America. Da Cana, rounding
the Cape Of Good Hope in 1893 and re-
turning on Aug. %, 1899, found what
the world knew was India, for his
ships brought back rubies. emeralds,
silks. satins and other articles which
that country produced.
The events Of those days, four CEN
turies ago, had a decisive influence on
the fortunes of many nations, and pro-
foundly affected the history of the
world. When the Turks threw them
selves across the course of trade to In
dia by way of the Mediterranean they
passed sentence of death upon Genoa.
Venice Pisa and the other little coun-
tries in their quarter of the globe, and
the task of finding new avenues for
trade with the Orient devolved upon
the great maritime nations. the lead
ers of which in that day We're Portugal
and Spain. These were the only coun-
tries whose rights were considered in
the business of maritime adventure at

draw people to church, and why
shouldn't watermelon? High class mu-

other words 1t is all wrchg to sell a
country and its people. but it is so near
ly right to buy a country and it's peo-
pie that the campaign should be more
vigorously prosecuted in order to make
good our title. AS every purchase ne
cessarily implies sale, the force of
this reasoning is not apparent. 1t is
not an easy matter to believe that those
people who profess to see no wrong in
the purchase of the islands, would at
once become frantic with virtuous in
dignation at the moral iniquity involved
in their sale. AS between buying and
selling the senator seems to make a
rather refined distinction.
On this point the senator is not only
inconsistent but Illogical as well in his
assumption that we must either fight
the natives or sell them to some other
country. No such alternative exists,
and certainly those who object to the
policy now being pursued have never
advocated selling the islands or their
people Nevertheless, it is a stereotyped
plea in favor of that policy, that we
cant sell the islands,
But the most significant statement
Senator Stewart makes is the one to
the effect that we are now in the ISL
ands for the purpose of giving the ma
tives an opportunity to rule themselves.
This if true, is a revelation to many
intelligent people and it naturally sug-
gests the query, What are we fight
ing about" So far as the public is
apprised, that is exactly what the ma
tives are demanding and all that they
are demanding. Why has not some one
authorized to speak Informed them of
the purpose to give them an opportu-
nifty to rule themselves? They cannot
be expected to know it unless they are
told. If the administration had, at the
outset, declared it's purpose to give the
natives an opportunity to rule them
selves, it would have changed the
whole aspect of the situation. There
would probably have been no fighting
with the Filipinos and no Philippine
question to-day.

II RECENT newspaper interview
reports Senator Stewart of New
\ ada as being in favor of more
vigorous campaign in the Philippines
That was to be expected EVERYTHING
that the Nevada senator does is done
with all the zeal of his vigorous nature.
But in this interview, as reported his
language lacks the accuracy, Clearness
and strong logic that usually charac
terize it.
In the first place the senator leaves
the reader in some doubt as to what he
Neally thinks concerning the merits of
the Philippine question. One would be
quite justified in reaching the conCu-
sion that he disapproves of the general
policy, but he does not say so. He
assumes that the policy has been adopt
ed and that there is nothing for US to
do but to enforce it in a vigorous cam
paign. He is reported as saying that
1T makes no difference whether we
had a right to buy those islands or
whether Spain had a right to dispose of
them. The fact remains that we did
buy them. and we are there now to
give the natives an opportunity to rule
themselves. Maybe our arguments are
rather strong, but that is apparently
the only way to deal with those people
We cannot sell them. If we should, it
would be to some monarchy, and the
people of the United States would
stamp with unanimous disapproval the
sale of a country and its people"
Taken in its entirety, this is curious
logic. The senator first tells us that
whether We had a right to buy the ISL
ands or not, makes no difference; We
did buy them. Then he declares that
the people of the United States would
stamp with unanimous disapproval The
sale of country and it's people. IN

N \ UGH of the material that has
IV recently reached this country
from Rennes is an EXPRESSION
Sf surprise that France should have
permitted itself to become so deeply
stirred over the Dreyfus affair. Most
of this comment is not instructive; it
simply expresses wonder because of the
Rll-prevailing excitement. without at
tempting to account for it in a rational
manner
In turn, the American public. man
afesting the warmest interest in this
famous affair, is not trying to account
for the conditions that have wrought
France uo to frenzy in way that
seems unnatural and utterly unwar-
Tantable. We take the French temper
Rment into the general account: we
realize the Importance of the military
factor in its relation to stable gov
ernment: We have some idea at least of
the treachery and the social scandals
that stain European diplomacy; we rec
pgnize the bearing of the anti-Sometic
crusade-and there we rest, more inter-
ested in the procession of actual events
than in the sociology that is involved.
These events are sufficiently dra-
matte. They succeed one another in a
onatter that chains public attention.
They have been so intense and so SEN
sational as to leave the watching world
no anticipate even more stirring Incl
dents. Drastic as was Sundays crime
that may cost the life of NJ. Labori, the
attorney who, through thick and thin,
had stood by Dreyfus, it is not hastily
no be concluded that the affair is to find
its climax in this possible murder; on
the contrary, somehow the popular eX-
pectation is that there will be more of
tragedy and of crime.
In any event, however, this latest
black deed will serve to strengthen in
their opinions those who from the first
have been on the Dreyfus side. They
do not forget that Henry committed
suicide: that Esterhazy is a fugitive
in London, wasted in health ana des-
sined, so eminent men say, to go stark
mad if he lives two years; or that
rhe grim list of Dreyfus tragedies is al
lIeady long. 1t is indisputa bic that the
sympathy of the great majority is with
fhis prosecuted Jew. The deplorable
tragedy of Sunday does not, at least,
weaken his side of the case.

~ THROUGHOUT Deer Lodge county
and, indeed in a wider area of
the state, more than common
interest is taken in the tragedy that
resulted in the death of Eugene Cul-
Imam
This victim Of brutal murder was one
of the oldest of this county's residents
He was a Montana miner; in many re-
spects he was a typical prospector.
CITY life did not attract him; he pre-
ferred his miners cabin and the soli-
tude of the hills. He had been thrifty
and prosperous. 1t was known that he
had means. He was man Of excellent
repute and of orderly life. He enjoyed
the respect of the people in the sparse
ly-settled region, in the northern part
of Deer Lodge county, where for
about third of a century. he had
spent his days as the lord and master
of his modest little domain.
A few days ago this man was eound
dead. Some of the neighbors had been
in quest of him, the fact of his sudden
disappearance having awakened their
suspicious. Without delay the sheriff S
office took up the case and the effort
to clear up the mystery Of this mur-
