Prof. Ferrero is right In thinking
that Christopher Columbus had no idea
Of what would result from mis- expedi-
ton as he turned his vessels westward
across the unknown waters. The pro
moters. poets and playwrights Of the
Elizabethan age were wont TO picture
Virginia" as a land of golden plenty.
The streets were paved with glitterlng
dust. About all that was necessary, in
their fancy, was to strike the rock and
streams Of gold would burst forth. The
Spanish explorers found in the lands
OF the Incas and Aztecs surer realiza-
ton OF such visions than the English
men did In their colonies. But no
dreams of Raleigh, Cortez or Cham
plain ever were so extrayagant in their
exuberant richness as the actualities
which the Europe of to-day sees when
the eyes are turned toward America.
The galleons which once filed the war
chest of a Spanish sovereign benefited
few with their golden cargo. The swift
sailing steamers of to-day scatter Amer

prosperous America TO the home lands

on all the time, being emphasized in
December. More money goes with the
thousands OF travellers who visit the
same countries every year. 1t is a ire
mendous drain upon Uncle Sam. But
he can afford it. What Europe would
do without the bountiful offerings of its
children in America is hard to imagine.

Even In this country. where the work
man is so accustomed TO seeing the old
methods replaced by new. there is not
always an Intelligent appreciation Of
the value of proposed Improvements.
And many of the arguments advanced
In opposition to progress are little bet
ter than those of the woman who is re-
ported to have said, when advised that
a substitute for whalebone had been
discovered and was likely entirely to
displace the old material, What will
the poor whales do for livingT or
course, ii is apparent to all now that
the final result of improvements intro
dueed has been to elevate the standards
of the workingmen themselves and
that in opposing this progress they were
working not only against the interests
of the public generally but against
their own advantage.

Mr.. WI Ting-fang recently expressed
the opinion that if the world spoke one
language. peace would prevail, and the
same idea has been urged by advocates
of Esperanto. But the experience of
this country is contrary to that idea,
for our two most important wars were
fought between men of the same speech.
The idea has little practical value, any
how. It is like the declaration of the
dltch-digger that if he had eight million
dollars he would have longer handle
on his pick. Universal peace is much
more likely than a universal language.

The object of that legislation was not

courts IN subsequent cases. Now the
Attorney General recommends an
amendment giving the government the
right Of appeal in cases where verdicts

great ~S2a, O00,oo0 oil fine case" is cited
as a striking Illustration of the need Of
such an amendment. Here the supreme
