do justice to Dreyfus and not condemn
him to a..lingering death in solitude just
to crafty an army prejudice against the

DOWN ON COLUMBUS.
If He Had Not Discovered America
the Spaniards Would Have
Had No Trouble.

One of the most delightfully."- humorous as
poets of our late antagonists is their utter
absence of a sense of humor. Some Ameri-
can jester having predicted that when the
Spaniards got through with the war they
would repudiate Christopher Columbus for
having ever discovered America, the Madrid
journals are verifying the prediction by as
sertin9 with truly 1berian profundity that
Cristobal Colon has turned out to be the
evil genius of Spain.
It is evident that if the old mariner had
been content with staying in the Mediter-
ranean and had not gone about bothering
monarchS to furnish him the means of dis
covering the new world Spain would have
no colonies, and having none she could not
lose them. Its i'll taking the treeks off
Helander," says the Scotch proverb, and by
mischievous activity of Columbus Spain
would have been thoroughly guarded against
such disasters as have now befallen her.
But even upon the Spanish method of
not the ages of plumber and cruelty which
have wiped out the Spanish ownership of
nearly half the world-our Madrid friends
forget that Columbus gave them three CEN
turtles of squeezing the colonies that fol-
lowed his discoveries in South America, and
four in Cuba and Porto Rico. Inasmuch as
Columbus was thrown into disfavor and
prison while he lived, we should say that
the balance between him and Spain was
still in his favor.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.
