q guisa de protesta, celebraronse

mas que en- Ell anterior.
Quien conozca personalmente
al Cronista sonreira sin dudar
al leer estas lineas y pensara
que no puede ciertamente arro-
jar piedras contra los certame-

cientes algunos, sobre mi con-
ciencia, pecados de literature
horalesca, y aun dire que peco
actualmente, sin grandes pro-
positos de enmienda; pero es
que en- Catalina los certamenes
literarios tienen dos aspectos:
uno poetico, vamos al decir. Y
otro politico.
Han hecho mucho dano 4 la
literature, pero han producido
bien d la politica. En-
este ultimo concepto, los Juegos
Florales de villa Y cortijo han
cooperado grandemente a la
obra de los autenticos, de los
solemnes, de los que han dado
q nuestra literature los prime
ros poetas. Asi, los certamenes
literarios catalanes tienen otra

de la fama, tienen aspecto de
renacimiemto, de trascendencia
politica, como los de Catalina:
la actual orientacion valencia
nista, es hija de los certamenes
de ''Lo Rat Penat'.
Asi Sc puede observar que la
celebration de certamenes esta
en- raZon directa de la intensi-
dad del movimtento politico. FL

sion de reunir unos cuantos es-

MARK TWAIN PAYS
TRIBUTE TO VICTORIA

New York. May 2S.--Fsing Edward.
through his private secretary. Lord
Knollys, contributed message of good
will. and Mark Twain made charac-
terstic speech at dinner given last
night by the British Schools and Uni
versities club at Delmonico's in honor
of the late Queen Victoria's birthday.
which since her death, has been cele-
brated throughout Engands vast do
mains as Empire day.
DIR. Clemens paid this tribute to the
late sovereign:
AS a woman, the queen was all that
the most exacting standards could re-
quire. AS a far reaching and effective
and beneficient force. she had no peer
in her time. among either monarchs or
commoners. AS monarch she was
without reproach in her great office.
One may not venture, perhaps. to say
so sweeping thing as this in cold.
blood. about any monarch that pre-
coded her, upon either her own throne
or any other. 1t is a colossal eulogy.
but 1t is justified. In those qualities
Of the heart which beget affection in
all sorts and conditions of men she was
rich, surprisingly rich, and for this she
will still be remembered and revered
in the far off ages when the political
giories OF her reign shall have faded
from vital history and fallen to place
In that scrap heap of unverif1able odds
and ends which we call traditions
Which is to say in briefer phrase, that
her name will live always. And with
it her character, q fame rare in the
history of thrones, dominions. princi-
palities and powers, since it will not
rest upon harvested selfish and sordid
ambitions. but upon love- earned and
freely vouchsafed. She mended broken
hearts where she could but she broke
none"

WILL FREE IOWA MAN
FROM MEXICAN JAIL

Washington, May 25.-The state de-
partlnent is ait work in an effort to get
out of Mexican Jail an American cit
izen who for eight months has been In
generated at Guadaajara, unable to
secure d trial or even n date for trial.
and on a charge which is claimed to be
so vague and indefinite that he does
not even know how to prepare Cor trial.
His friends, after making every effort
to secure some assistance from the
Mexican government, have appealed to
Washington. The case was taken to
the state department by Representative
Dawson. of Iowa. on behalf of ]. r..
Randleman. of West Liberty. brother
OF the. unfortunate American.
The prisoner is ID. r. Randleman. an
engineer ON a Mexican railway. His
train was involved in an accident in
which Fatalities occurred. The Mexican
law is severe in such cases. 1t is
claimed that Engineer Randelman was
entirely blanesss and he wants a
chance to prove 1t and meanwhile to
get bail He can get neither trial, bail
nor assurances that he Is going to be
tried. The case has developed some
remarkable features and is expected to
be pressed by the state department
with good deal of urgency.
