AN ISLAND or MAsSAcREs.

this one.
Next the buccaneers seized the I'm
happy island and wreaked vengeance
on the Spaniards in such manner
that even the old chronlclers tell of the
worst of the atrocities only in the Latin
tongue.
Presently came the French, and for q
brief space there was some sembiance
of peace. But in 1893 the negroes re-.

SERPENT OF AESCULAPIUS.
Worship of Snakes led 20 Adoption of
the Mystical Symbol


the Mystical Symbol.
1t has been pointed out by Or. Bou.
din that the worship of the serpent
was so universal in antiquity chat all
temples came to be known as "dra-
coma" serpent houses).
However that may be. serpents were
kept in many Of the temples OF an.
uQuity. notably In those Of Apollo.
whose son. Aesculapius, is represented
in ancient statuary carrying a serpent
intwined round n staff or round his arm.
The serpent indeed. came in time to
be the special mystical emblem or SYM
Dol Of the Aesculapian art.
The serpents Of the ancient Greek
temples Were in all probability relics
Of that primitive serpent worship
which was at one time universal among
prehistoric peoples and has not died
out among many savage races Mt the
present day.
And "voodOo," or obj" serpent wor-
ship is still said to linger in the West
Indies among the descendants OF
slaves.
In Haiti especially, where negroes
were dumped down from Africa by the
old slave traders and were kept in re-
serve before being sold 10 masters in
the surrounding islands. voodoo has
defied Roman Catholic missionaries
and priests for ages. a French naval
officer who visited the court of the
Haitian potentate Soulongue i'm 1910
described a voodoo ceremony where
cannibalistic and other orgies were in
dulged in.
1t is noticeable that the cock and
black goat which were solemnly eaten
on this occasion were both of them
sacred to Aesculapius. Hence we may
infer that the Aesculapian cultus was
originally an innocent form of yoodoo
and at the same n primOrdial religion.
The extreme antiquity of serpent
worship seems. indeed, TO be limited
at in Genesis, where the devil appears
IN the guise of the snake god intent on
The ruin Of man. In the story of the
hrazen serpent healing qualities are
attributed to the image.-Lancet.

CLEVELAND Is DEAD

Grover Cleveland, the only Dem
ocrat elected President of the
United State since the Civil War.
died at his home in Princeton. n.
j., last Wednesday morning. after
a lingering illness from a compli-
cation of diseases.
In speaking of the death of the.
eX-president, William j. Bry am
said:
The death of ex-PreSid,rt
Grover Cleveland brings to a sud
den end the phenOn email career of
one of the strongest characters
known 70 tho political world during
the present generation. Like
every commanding figure, he had
jealous supporters and earnest
opponents. but those who differed
from him were as ready as his
warmest friend to concede to him
the possession of elements of lead
ership to an extraordinary degree.
lie was deliberate in action. firm in
conviction and ever ready to accept
responsibility for what he did.
Few men have exerted a more
positive influence upon those asso-
ciated with him. We are not far
enough from the period in which
his work was done To measure ac-
curately his place in history, but
the qualities which made him great
are a part of the nations heritage.
and universal sorrow is felt at his
DEATH
Cleveland was not a preacher or
a moralist. He formulated and
uttered no theories of morals or
government. He relied upon his
own strength to carry through any
issue nom matter whom it might affect
or what his friends or his party
might think. He was often desig-
mated brute by those whom he
offended. Certainly we have never
heard of him being called lovable
man, even by his admirers. He
vetoed more bills in four years than
all his predecessors had in the his
tory of the republic. Precedent
had no terrors for him. He sent
federal troops into Chicago, against
the opposition of the Governor.
He sent the British ambassador
home in disgrace. He upheld the
Monroe doctrine in Venezuela at
the risk of war with England. He
antagoniXed labor by federal inter-
ference; he antagonized the mill
tary vote by vetoing pension bills:
he antogonized public sentiment
by planning to restore to her throne
the Queen of Hawaii: he antagon-
lied the north by trying to restore
southern battle flags; he antagon-
lied congress by refusing to sign
the Wilson tariff bill; he antagon-
lzed his own party in countless
ways.
Probably Mr. Bryan is right in
saying that we are not far enough
from the period in which his work
was done 10 measure accurately
his place in history.
Aman whohas held the high Office
of President of this Republic must.
of necessity, havea place in history.
but whether that place be one for
praise or censure, time alone can
demonstrate.

POPULAR ELECTION OF SENATORS

For the Democratic platform to
declare for the election of United
States Senator's by the people is
not to make new demand or ask
for radical change. The question,
though never so urgent as now,
has since the foundation of the
government been under discussion.
The reasons for the change are:
That il will prevent the corruption
OF Legislatures: the disturbance of
Legislatures by contests over the
senatorship; the improper use of

Denver.-A Republican special from
Colorado Springs Saturday says: On
the official count in FL Paso county de-
ponds the election of the congressman
from the Second district. John Mar
tin, Democrat, has Il plurality of about
2,1O0 over w. A. Haggott, Republican,
according TO unofficial returns from
the district outside of Ell Paso county.
In forty-nine out of the sixty-one pre-
cincts in this county McDonald's plu-
rality is ISIS. Estimating Haggott's
plurality here as the same as McDon-
AIDS, Haggott has to gain only about
222 votes to tie Martin in the district.
Ell Paso county's decreased Republi-
can plurality this year is due to the
fact that hundreds of Republicans, in
their anxiety to scratch for the local
independent ticket, which had no ma
tional or state ticket, forgot to write
the word Republican at the top of their
ballots, thus losing their votes for Taft
and Mcdonald.
