SOCIALIST Editor Challenges Chancellor A n
drews to Debate the Question
of Socialism

Readers of The Independent will
recollect the address on socialism de-
livered by Chancellor Andrews OF the
university of Nebraska before the
state bar association, published in The
Independent of January Is. His
criticisms of "1oose socialism seem
to have stirred up the "kangaroos, as
the S. L. P. adherents call them. In
q recent letter from the editor OF Will
shire's Magazine, the irrepressible ii
Gaylord encloses a copy OF challenge
he has sent to the chancellor, saying:
Upon reading Professor Andrews ad-
dress on socialism in your paper l
despatched him the enclosed letter.
If he accepts it will undoubtedly re-
suit in a debate which will create
great interest throughout the coun-
try" The challenge is as follows:

by a horse which stands patiently while its
rider makes love to a pretty girl in the W n

Level and can press her hand, while If he
were on foot he could only express his
emotion by the gestures that Spanfard or

Where Columbus Spent His Last Years

1t now belongs to an English company,
and occupies the old Cartuja convent, at
which Columbus spent the last four years
of his life. The chapel. an exquisite gem
of architecture. is still preserved and Kept
In perfect condition by the tile company
Under It's marble floor the remains of Co
Iumbus were laid before his devoted brother
Barthelomae brought them from Valladolid,
where he died, and from there they were
taken to San Domingo by his daughter-in-
law This convent is associated with the
sorrows of Columbus, and the pavements
of the cioisters have been moistened by his
tears
There are several other important fac
tories about Seville. On the opposite side
of the river, in the suburb known as Tri-
ana, thousands of busy workmen live and
produce almost everything, from steam en-
gines to perfumery. That is also the home
of the gipseys, who are the pure-blOoded
descendants of the Moors, and have always
been numerous and important part of the
population. in Granada. There may be
seen the most picturesque types and cos
tunes in all Spain. On holidays Triana is
a lively place. The peasants play the ma
tional games wearing the national cos
tunes. dance the ma tional dances and sing
the national songs.

! Old Seville has all the requisites for a
great and prosperous city except enterprise
| on the part of it's inhabitants, who are too
| poetical to be practical and too indolent to
make great progress. As some one has
said: They make love to their neighbors'
| pockets and see heaven through the golden
| juice of an orange as they lie on their backs
| in the cool shade. a picture of contentment
and sweet idleness. They breakfast on
glass of water dine on an air on the guitar
| and sleep in hammock suspended by cob
| webs"
Nevertheless there are several important
manufactures in Seville, and the lower
classes of the population are always busy,
Notwithstanding their gay and happy air
They are Industrious. ingenious and eco
nomical; they are temperate, obedient and
amiable and the frequent homicides are
due to jealousies in love affairs and quar-
rels among gamblers.
Factory Costing 100000.

"Fabrica de Tabacos,'' an enormous build

coed by high-class artists of the eighteenth
Five Thousand persons, mostly
women are employed here in the manu-
facture of cigars, cigarettes and snun,
and in society they have caste OF their
own A Seville cigarette girl ranks So
ciany above the operatives in other manu-
featuring establishments and the employees
of the mercantile shops. and, although they
are so numerous it IS a matter OF pride
to have been employed there. They wear
distinctive costumes, which, however, are
difficult for a stranger to Identify. but
resident of Seville can pick out the cigar
reras at bull fight or a theater or on the
promenades at any time.
Another important establishment is the
Pickrnan tile factory at Cartuja, sub
urban village, which is probably the oldest
and most noted porcelain mandatory IN
Spain 1t was established as long ago as
400 by the archbishop of Seville, and its
products are superior to those of any other
establishment.

IT Is said that Cuba will have the
wreck Of the Maine raised, at her
own expense, to clear Havana
harbor of the obstruction. Should
It be done, it is thought that the
mystery. of the explosion which
destroyed the warship, and which
probably decided the fate OF Cuba,
may be partially explained. 1t
Ras always been believed by Amer
nan naval men that it was caused
BY the explosion of mine or tor
pedo underneath the vessel, while
the Spanish are of the opinion that
Il was destroyed by an internal ex-
plosion of her own magazines, per-
haps caused by spontaneous COM
Bustion. If it be shown to have
been an external explosion, it will
probably never be known by whom
she diabolical plot was laid and
bow it was executed.

and no irrigation has been neces-
sary owing to the abundant rains,

ing the months of April and May
nearly all the crops will mature

in this country we cannot depend
on the rain fall, and no one

to turn on the water when it is
needed, and quite an improvement
has been added to irrigating facili-
ties by placing the pump on a flat
boat in the river, so that it can be
moved from place to place as needed,
and all danger from the erosion of
the treacherous banks OF the Rio

The San Antonio Fair Asso-
non has determined to have the
usual racing events at the fair,
despite the new law prohibiting
betting on races. There will prob
ably be less enthusiasm than usual
over the races. but true lovers of
horse flesh cannot but feel the same
thrill in witnessing a contest Of
speed, between fine horses, whether
they have anything at stake or not.
1t will tend to make the race-track
more respectable, in any event.

Susan B. ANTHONY accuses the
South of being slow and non-pro-
gressive, which conclusion she
arrives at, on account of the COM
paratively small following of the
Eoman's suffrage cause in this
section. 1t may be lack of progress
IN Miss Anthony's eyes, but the
the Southern people regard the gen.
eral Indifference of the women of
the South to the cause as result
Of contentment on their part with
The existing order as it affects them.
Women are perhaps more highly
honored in the South, more warmly
cherished by the men, and more
protected from contact with the
world than in those other parts of
che world, where the woman sui
fragist rubs elbows with the woman
whose highest aim appears to be
go take care of her poodle dog. Love
Of home and home ties are still the
strongest sentiments in the South,
and we are content to have it so.
BTay Heaven protect us from
progress, if it means that our women
shall feel constrained to clamor for
the ballot and the political
privileges ri which are still mo-
nopolized by the men in nearly all
Of the states of the Union Perhaps
some things in that line might be
better done, should the fair sex
undertake them, but the loss in
other respects which the country
might suffer through such a change
Konld probably far outbalance the
gain.
