Briefs. The gold reserve has again fallen below the hundred million mark, and another bond issue is talked of. The government may have to apply for a receiver. Mr. J. Pier pont Morgan would probably get the office. How many residents of the Brick City are aware that a brick is a parallelopipedon It is said that the coming consti tutional convention of South Car olina will disfranchise the negro. If the white people of that state are not careful, their efforts to suppress black men's votes will suppress their own. The workingman's three worst -enemies are, first, the rumselier; second, the seditious demagogue; third, the oppressive and dishonest employer. The labor problem is a great one, and yet how easily observation ot tne iolden Rule would solve it. Some workingmen would strike if working for the most .generous and just of employers; and some employers would drive Job into striking. V Ballots not bullets shou'd decide public questions, and yet every American should have arms and know how to use them. When Columbus discovered -America, the Bahamas were inhab ited by a race of simple, virtuous and kind-hearted people. Fifty years later, they had been utterly exterminated by Spanish cruelty and avarice. The Anglo-Saxon found North America a howling wilderness; he has made it the seat of the world's i. t' 4. t: cv i i greatest civiiizaucn. i nc opaniaru found in Mexico and Peru a civil ization superior in refinement and industry to his own; after 300yeais he was driven out; leaving nothing but shattered fortresses, tombs and idol-sheltering shrines to tell he had been there. The Rio Grande marks the line between what the Anglo-Saxon lias made and the Spaniard has left. It you find enterprise or im provement "south of that line, you are almost sure to find a Yankee or Briton connected with it. Brazil is not so bad, but that is because the Portuguese is more enterprising and less, bigoted than bis Spanish cousin. Spain, so the dispatches say, has paid the Mora claim. Our state department is silent, but, not "for 200 years, has the hidalgo paid a debt unless he had to, or hoped thereby to get another loan. And yet those who think the Spanish people all bad, and the Snanish armv composed of cow- ards, are greatly mistaken. The Spanish people are naturally as honest, kind and intelligent as any in the world. But their merits are obscured by a bigoted priesthood and a moth-eaten aristocracy, who da not want the people to be pros perous or progressive. The Spanish soldier has demon strated that he is brave. From 1481, when he stormed Alhama, -until 1588, when the Armada was shattered, nothing on sea or land successfully withstood the power of Spain. The Moor, the Italian, the Frenchman, the Turk, the German, the Aztec, the Peruvian, and smaller nations and tribes too many to mention, went down be fore Spain's 1 steady infantry and dashing cavaliers. Even sea-girt Hiritain trembled. For 300 years Spanish armies have been miser ably officered and equipped. Even under these circurr? stances, the Spanish soldier has shown that he is brave and hardy, and if given a chance would prove a worthy descendant of Alva or Don John. But Spain, as a nation, has com mitted every crime and deserves every punishment. Ir the international yacht races at New York last week, the Eng- lish vessel lost the first race, won f the second by accident and refused to sail the third. It is strange that two gre2t nations can take I such interest in so trivial a thing. It is disheartening that rich men can spend so much money on" such matters while there is so much misery and igrorance in the world. The Turks 0 on butchering the Armenians, while mutual jealousy keeps the powers of Europe from interfering. Soon there will be no Armenians left, and then the Turks will feel like they can afford to behave themselves. This Recorder. DISSOLUTION NOTICE.
