Points and Paragraphs of Things
Present, Past and Future.
The frequent lynchinga which occur
in this country are an index finger that
points to the fact that the people do
not think they are getting justice in
the courts. Let the courts remember
it, and let jurors do their duty.
The X-ray experiments have ceased
to be experiments, but are now down
right business operations. A few days
ago two officers of the fire department
of Norfolk got into a difficulty when
chief Martin J. Ryan was seriously
shot in the thigh. By the use of the
X-ray it was found that the ball ranged
downward and directly in and lodged
near the bone two-thirds of the distance
from the knee to the hip. It thus had
to be located by looking through con
siderable thickness of flesh and bone,
which was easily done, and the ball was
so Avell located that it left little trouble
to take it out.
Truly the work of science is wonder
ful and the progress of this age is daz
zling. The cigarette habit is ruining more
of the boys and yoitng men of the
land than many suppose. Recently in
Salisbury a boy thirteen years old died
from the result of cigarette smoking.
His sudden sickness baffled the physi
cians at first but they learned before
his death, which followed in
a tew aavs, mat ine disease
was the result 01 cigarette smoKing.
Though quite young he had been
smoking for years. We saw three small
boys at a railroad station a few days ago
smoking a cigarette together. One
would whiff and then another. They
were testing bkill at swallowing the
smoke.
Surely the effects of the cigarette
are dangerous and all prudence ought
to be used to keep boys from using
them.
Nothing is more important to the
young, both male and female, than wise
and extensive reading. Youth is tne
time in which to do much, profitable
reading, and alas ! too many persons
put off the readi ng of books until they
find themselves so pressed with business
and the duty of bread-winning that they
can not get the time to read.
A good man who writes much for the
press recently wrote this paragraph :
'How I wish I had read more when
young of the kind of reading that would
have had the effect of making me a
more useful man than I am ! But the
past can not be recalled, and I will haye
to have the assistance of glasses to get
into my head what once I could have
got without their aid."
Let the young men and young wo
men, the boys and girls, who read The
Commonwealth, wisely take the sug
gestions of this earnest man of frosting
years, and read several good books every
year. It is one of the best investments
ot time that they can ma&e.
The colored man, Isaac B.Allen, who
was elected Councilor to the Governor
of Massachusetts at the late elections,
seems to be a disturbing element in
Republican circle up there. The Re
publicans are offering him large sums
to resign. He is reported as saying
recently :
"A few days after I was elected 1 met
on the street a man whom I know well,
who said : 'Allen, your fortune is made.
There is no need of your worrying any
more about earning a living. I have a
check for $5,000 in my pocket, and it's
yours if you will resign or get out as
Councilor.' 'Never,' said I, 'I am in
this to stay. , It is a race matter with
me. You have not got money enough
to buy me out.'
"Next two men came to my house
and tendered me a check, for $10,000 if
I would go to Europe for a year 'for my
health.' as they expressed it. They
said that the money was contributed by
prominent Republicans. On my refus
al they said they would 'make it $20,-
000 if I desired. I thereupon ordered
them to leave the house, and could with
difficulty restrain myself from throwing
them oat bodily: : 1 put my racer above
money, party, of anything else, and I
would not diserace it.. - Yes. sir,: I'm
coim to advise the Governor, and anal
be on band at every meeting of the
. council.

ABOUT SPAIN.
GEANDEE SPIEIT, COLONIAL
POLICY AND AGRICULTURE.
Some Rambling Thoughts.
BY "NEMO.
(Copyrighted.) -
(These "Thoughts," by a layman,
are read in five hundred thousand
homes, scattered in every State of the
Union. In this county they will be
found week by week m the columns of
this paper only, as we have made ar
rangements with the author for their
exclusive publication.)
Allow me to cantinue and conclude
a necessarily brief consideration of
Spain as a decajing nation. In last
week's "Thoughts", the assertion was
practically made that a nation must
have some ideal before it beyond the
forcing of a creed or tne piling of wealth.
In both of these directions Spain has
been at fault. Three further enervating
causes have been at work undermining
its national strength.
The Gsandee Spirit : For centuries
after the destruction of the Roman
Empire by the Goths and Vandals, the
human intellect was almost benumbed.
Until the Renaissance and the Reform
ation a pall of darkness was over all ;
the nobles being almost as untrained
as their serts, and the serls being utter
ly crushed by those of .nobler blood.
Humanity in Europe lay like a giant
chilled by the cold. But since that
time stimulation oi thought has caused
the great heart of the world to throb
witbrincreasing power, till the life of a
common humanity thrills, in large
measure, even those most separated by
birth and wealth. Each age has had
peculiar characteristics ; ours is the
"People's Age." But against the ten
dency of the people to think and act,
hope and accomplish, the proud and
stubborn spirit of Spanish grandeeism
has stood forth with fierceness. Yet
just as Canute by his word could not
hold the sea in subjection nor Mrs.
Partington sweep back the waves with
her broom, so no dynasty or power, even
hoar with age and crusted with heroic
deeds, can withstand successfully, by
narrow-minded repression, the rising
tide of human aspiration. If it turn a
deaf ear to the cry of the poor for life
nd libertj-, for education, for hope,
the cry will not die out but its pleading
tone will be turned in the fierce and
fateful growl of a cornered beast. Thus
has it been with Spain. Far more oi-
ganized and dangerous than Nihilism
in Russia, is Anarchism in Spain. The
Kingdom is so thoroughly honey-comb
ed with the sentiment of a lawless
breaking down of the government, that
the men in power try constantly to
divert public thought from home affairs,
and are glad of Anything in foreign
lands that will form a safe outlet for the
combative spirit. They are under the
hopeless necessity of watching and
guarding against the home population
as thoroughly as they would have to
watch an invading army. I believe I
am safe in saying, not even excepting
Russia, that no other nation in Europe
but Spain is in this anomalous condi
tion. It stands revealed before the
world as a nation that has not controll
ed the growth of hope and thought, but
withstood it instead ; with the eneyita-
ble disaster coming nearer every day.
Colonial Policy : 1 fear if we look
back at the conquests of three or lour
centuries ago, when constant tidings ot
new continents, wealth, etc., tired men's
adventurous souls, the skirts of no na
tion will be found entirely free from
innocent blood. With a few notable
exceptions, in spots, like Rhode Island
under Williams, Pennsylvania under
Pennr and Maryland under Calvert,
cruelty and illiberality have almost uni
versally accompanied the work of estab
lishing a new colony. But gentler
times have brought gentler methods;
and various nations seem now to vie
with each other in the liberality and
excellence of their colonial policies.
Take England for instance. Its illiberal
treatment of its most valuable posses
sion, now the United States, has entire
ly passed away ; so that at the present
it is practically true that many small
possessions in various parts are better
ruled, bettor prospered, and stronger as
dependencies than they would be as
separate and independent governments
The policy of England and other nations
who try to rival her in colonizingactiv
ity, is to look only for indirect results
from good government. Internal de
velopment is aimed at with the confi
dent hope that the resulting prosperity
will react favorably to the home coun
try by reason of increasing trade, etc.
But Spain's policy has remained un
changed while other nations have
marched onward. Her colonies have
always been regarded as fair prey to be
stripped, of everything valuable that
was compact and transportable. The

fierce greed of Cortez and Pizarro Is
apparently unchanged. Whatever po
sitions of power were open for filling,
have seemed to be regarded as the right
ful heritage of the Spanish nobility
without any regard as to fitness, or the
benefit of the country they ruled oyer.
Indirect gam from the develop menl of
a colony has never been regarded with
such favor as the direct results by
squeezing out taxes and farming out
productive positions. This is simply
another evidence ol the mad spirit of
self-destruction that has possessed Spain.
The enevitable result has been the loss
one by one since the end of last century
of the very jewels of her diadem of
empire.
Agricultural Uupeogressiveness :
About the beginning of the I6th centu
ry Spain possessed a religious fury very
adroitly mingled with greed, expelled
the Jews and Moors and conficated their
property. By so doing it inflicted as
severe a national injury to itself as
France did when it drove out the Huge
nots, stripping itself of its best farmers
and mechanics, tradesmen and mer
chants. In 1609, if my memory serves
me right, Spain gave a further fatal
blow to itself by expelling all the Chris
tianized Moors. As a result up to the
present, agriculture, the necessary basis
of national prosperity, is very undevel
oped. The most primitive instruments
are still in use and great regions that
the Moors had made productive have
fallen back to wildness. Similar short
sightedness characterized her abroad.
When Pizarro landed in Peru the strip
of land fifty and more miles wide stretch
ing from the ocean front to the foot
hills of the Andes, supported a prosper
ous population oi about 700,000. The
patient Peruvians had made this sandy
desert blossom like the rose by vast ir
rigation works. In some cases they had
constructed aqueducts hundreds of miles
long and eyen pierced mountains in
order that this particular region might
be watered. Now the desert is again
triumphant. The conquerors seeking
those things alone that could be gained
by the sword, neglected the real essen
tials of prosperity, until now only a few
thousand exist where hundreds of thou
sands were once prosperous. The same
lamentable neglect was shown in Mexi
co. 'The strange creatures whom Mon
tezuma ruled were exceedingly progres
sive in the5r way. But their works and
plans and agricultural gains were scat
tered to the winds by their blood-thirsty
conquerors. Now the spiritless Peon
seems sunken beyond all hope of revival.

THE NEW HOOK SPOON FREE
TO ALL.
I read in the Christian Standard that
Miss A. M. Fritz, Station A., St. Louis,
Mo., would give an elegant plated hook
spoon to anyone sending her ten 2
cent stamps. I send for one and found
it is useful that I showed it to my
friends, and made if 13.00 in two hours
taking orders for the spoon. The hook
spoon is a household necessity. It can
not slip into the dish or cooking vessel
being held in the place by a hook on
the back. The spoon is somethinf
housekeepers have needed ever since
spoons were first invented. Anyone
can get a sample spoon by sending ten
2-cent stamps to Miss Fritz. This is a
splendid way to make money around
home, Very truly,
