VOLUME 40. .NO, 17,288, BE A NICE DAyor o. rs pata - REST FoR You THE DEMOCRATIC BULWARK. Every new party movement, though ostensibly hostile to both of the old parties, is especially rancorous in its opposition to the Democrats. The Greenbackers, the Prohibitionists and the Popu- lists addressed themselves to Republicans more in sorrow than in anger, but when they came to deal with Democrats they were pas- sionately vituperative and wrathful. The explanation probably is that most new parties are radical offshoots of Republicanism, and to their traditional hatred of Democrats is added the knowledge that while that organization endures they can hope to be nothing more than an insignificant minority. ‘he principal reason why the Democratic-Populistic fusion of 1896 failed is to be found in the fact that Democrats and Populists are natural enemies and can- not be persuaded to act together. They are moving in different directions. We now witness in the attitude of the Socialists and the Inde-! pendence League of Mr. Hearst the same preponderating animos- ity toward Democrats. Neither of these parties is particularly venomous in its discussion of Republicans and Republican policies, but when Democrats and Democratic measures are under consid- eration Joth are whirlwinds of invective and violence. They hope) to defeat the Republican purty some time, but it is the Democratic party that they have reserved for destruction. | The Democratic party is not all that it should be. It has some bad leaders and it is committed to some highly objectionable courses. | It is worth saving, however, if for no other purpose than to con- found the enemies that it has made. While that party remains Hearst and Debs will not rule the Republic. MAKING AN AMERICAN. Secretary Root’s action in dismissing the case against Pouren, | , the Russian political refugee, is eminently just and self-respecting. In their pursuit of Pouren the Russian authorities showed not only NCS ON characteristic tyranny but a surprising disrespect for American pro- SSE MO LIN cedure. If, as they assert, Pouren is an ordinary criminal, it is a oe Necessary that they should prove the Jact.

FAT, gouty man, gorgeously attired—the Emperor Charles V.—sat {a his royal coach surrounded by courtiers. Through the throng a gria- zled soldier thrust his way, leaping to the step of the carriage. At ‘sight of the intruder, whom he recognized at a glance, Charies yawned and askec with a sneer: ‘Who ts this fellow?” ? “Iam Hernando Cortez,” angrily shouted the soldier. “I am the man who has won for you more provinces than your father bequeathed you towns!" The Emperor flushed with anger, the overbold speaker was thrust aside and the carriage continued on its journey. Thus did Cortez lose his last aope of royal recognition and learn to the full the bitter ingratitude of br-nces. It was the last scene in a wonderful career. Hernando Cortez was the son of an impoverished Spanish nobleman wh» wanted to make a lawyer of his boy. But Hernando had become |f- fectec by the “America craze." Europe was wild over the newly discovered treacure jand, and adver‘urers were flocking by thousands to the West Indies Cortez sailed for San Domingo in 1504, when he was only nineteen. His courage and wit quickly raised him ‘o l.cal power there, and in 1o07 he became Mayor of Santiago, Cuba. He was handsome, with gentle, winning manners, and was @ born fighter and leader, Also he had more than his share of Spanish cruelty. These qualities carried him tar, But he was not content with such wealth and adventure as came his way in the West Indies. Mex- fco had Just been discovered by Grijalla, It was (ike all new countries in those day's) hailed as a land of § fabulous wealth, Here was the chance for which (ore tez had been waiting. He persuaded the aexico on a voyage of “discovery,” With less than 7 soldiers, eighteen !orsemen and ten small cannon, he set sail on Nov. 1s, 1518. Tt Governor, hearing rv led him to fear the expedition might not be wholly one of discovery, sent messenger: to stop it and to place Cortez under arrest. But the young man refused to turn back, and sailed for Mexico before a torce could be marched to the port to restrain him. Cortez at last had his “chance” in life; a “cha have regarded as another name for suicide. With yy 700 men he was setting out to conquc. a ric.. and enormous nation of many million inhabitants. Landing on the Mexican ccast, he scared the natives t! -e by sight of his ships, by hie horses (the firrt ever seen in Mexico), and by the roar of his cannon. ‘Then he founded the town of Vera Cruz; burned his ships so that nix soldiers -ould have 9 rn Seven Hundred Men Against a Nation. | Cuba to send him to that any one else would ho Way of eser pe, and struck boldly in d against @ huge and hostile nation!
