remarkable dinner purty assembled at
Clmmlx'rllnV last Saturday iiIkIu. Four
or (lvt (imminent nlUccm of tln govern
iiiont, formerly connected In mi editorial
cnjmclty whli Tin Clilciic;n Intor Ocean,
gave a dinner to n former nmimnlnu
cxlid r if tlint aMr, Senator I'lciro, of
Noitli ll.iliolu. TIiIh pretty little dinner
cm I led to mind tlio iroiiilnent part wblcli
newspaper men aio now plajhiK in pnli
llo nlTnlrri. It scorns to me thai wher
ever one turn In thin capital city he
unties upon iioVMuiHr men u ho are
wielding peat influence in h)IUIch and
other Ileitis of hninun activity. oer anil
above tho Inllnenoo which they natural
ly exert at wi Iters and editors. I do not
mm yet hopo that tho editors will ho able
to take the place of tho lawyoiM an tin
principal couiiouoiitN of tho ranks of
statesmen.
Probably tho lawyers will alwuyn lead
In this respect, ns it 1h right and proper
tlioy should. A mimowlint careful study
of both Henatoand house Iiiih convinced
mo that thelx-Ht preliminary training for
n national legislator In that acquired in a
law olllco. In court, ami in necessary fa
miliarity with tho Ihwh and parliament
ary usages. Tho training of tho law Ik
not Indispensable to success, hut It in
much in one's favor. Two of tho most
ucccssful men of their times In tho Iioiiho
of representatives, Jiiuich G. lllaluo and
a-imuel J, Randall, had not thin advan
tage. Neither over Htudled law. Olio of
tho most eloquent, witty and tiHcful
members of tho Iioiiho during tho last
quarter of n century, tho lato S. 8. Cox,
was not n lawyer. There nro many other
exception) to tho rulo, hut tho rulo never
theless romalim that nearly nil of tho
leaden on both sides of tho Iioiiho mid in
tlio Bcnnto havo had logal training and
experience.
Hut in purely oxcoutivo o likes tliin
rulo docs not hold good. Hero tho edi
torial training is fully aa good no that of
tlio law. Somoof tho most successful
cxccutlvo ofllcont of tho present govern
ment nro journalists, and the same thing
lina liocn truo of iiast adtnlnlHtratlons.
I wish hero to pause moinentnrlly to de
fend the U8o of tho word journalist. It
is a good, wholesome word, of well de
fined, precise moaning, perfect pedigree,
convenient application. It itinyns nn
propriatoly apply to tlio reporter mi to
tho editor, to tho desk man as to tho
special corresondont. A newsor is
journal of tho times, and nil of us who
help nialco journals nro journalists. It Is
' tho common fad among press workers to
any: "I am not n journalist, I am n
'newspaper man." But I protest against
that. Tho counselor does not call him
elf a "lawyer ninn," and only in de
rision la tho physician tunned a "medi
cine man." No such cant is Indulged In
by tho educator, tho architect, the min
ister, tlio civil engineer. Why, then,
tlio nwkwnrd, suporlluoua "nowapupor
man" as u substitute for journalist?
Daniel Manning did not object to be
ing called n journalist, and ho was mora
than that. IIo was a great olitician, a
Warwick, a party statesman. Ho inado
Qrover Cleveland president of tho United
States and served creditably In his cabi
net. Charles A. Dana was and la a
journalist, and ho was a cabinet olllcer.
Daniel Lamont was n journalist, and ho
helped make Grovor Cleveland, both be
fore mid after tho election of that gentle-
man to tho presidency. Another jour
nalist, and a good one, now occupies tlio
dollcato and responsible position of prl
vato secretary to n president whom ho
helped to inako. John C. New, proprie
tor of Tho Indianapolis Journal, and tho
present consul general to London, had a
strong hand In tho nomination mid elec
tion of Harrison; but there was no more
vital, well balanced, effective force in
that clTort than that exerted by Elijah
Ilalford as editor of tho principal paper
of Indiana.
Long beforo Gen. Harrison was uouil
nated (or, tho presidency, beforo ho was
much thought of for that otllce, I went
to Mr. Ilalford for data on which to
write n sketch of Gen. Harrison's career.
Iu giving mo what I wanted Mr. Ilalford
incidentally predicted that his frlond
would bo tho next president of tho Unit
ed States, and described to mo in detail
tho forces, inlluencos and conditions
which In fact afterward did combluo to
fulfill his, prophecy. It was faithful ad
herouco to these principlea and ability to
inspire others with the samo spirit
through the columns of tho journal of
which ho was editor that made Ilalford
such n potent factor in tho raising up to
the presidency of Benjamin Harrison.
As 1 huve said, on every hand we see
evidences of the capacity, usefulness and
great influence of men trained in the
maklr.g of newspapers, Successful con
struction of nowspnpera is after all the
highest of sciences and greatest of arts,
since it involves perfect understanding
of human nature. So why should tho
successful editor not make a successful
government executive? It Is a pleasure
to record i ho fact that two of tho most
noteworthy personal successes under this
administration havo been made by jour
nnlibts. First Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Clarkson has by common consent
uiado tho most distinguished pcrsounl
success of tho Harrison, teglme. Ilia
popularity Is greater than that of nny
other olllcer of the government at tho
present moment. Though a second rata
officer ho is consulted as often and relied
upon as implicitly by tho president as
any member of tho cabinet. Ills wife is
Mrs. Harrison's closest friond. Even a
success like this has not turned tho mod
est editor's head. Uis ambition is still
In tho lino of his profession, and ho In
tends hastening tho da when ho can re
turn to the making of newspapers.
Another successful olllcer of the ad
ministration Is I'ublto l'l Inter 1 aimer,
also a veteran Journalist. It was but a
fow days ago thai President Harrison
said to one of his friends! "There Is one
bureau of the government about which I
havo censed to havo anxiety. I have no
sort of worry nlxiut the government
print Ing olllco, which every one tells mo
In managed liolter than It him Ix'en for
many years." This is high pi also, and it
will Im) readily conceded that none hut
mi oxK?Heuccd printer and publisher
could so iniuingu that great office as to
deserve iU Mr. Palmer's editorial train
ing, and his alworptlon of the traditions
nnd tho human nature of tho print shop,
now stand him In good play.
Among the most effective workers In
tho various World's fair Interests which
havo been soalilvanil numerously repre
sented hero of lato, I saw memlers of
tho editorial fraternity gallantly con
spicuous. Col, Elliott Hhepanl was tho
handsomest mid most ixillshed of tho
Now ork workers, while tho round mid
good humored Jmnos W. .Scott, of Chi
cairo, mid tho gityly howhiskcml, keen
eyed Col. Jones, of St, Iuis, were as
marked for their energy and judgment
as for their (terminal attractions. These
latter two aro tho men who by sheer
force of newspaper genius have within
n few yenra built up about tho finest
printing proeilles In their respectivo
cities.
When wo mingle with tho bright mid
tho big men of our times, journalists, or
those who wero once Journalists, are at
ourolhovH. Census Commissioner Por
ter was a maker of uowsuiicnt. CapU
Meredith, who manages that great work
shop, the bureau of engraving and print
ing, has from boyhood had two hands
ntaincd with honest printer's Ink. Sec
letary Hlalno and Chief Justice Fuller
started out In life iw reporters in tho same
town. Occasional visitors to Washing
ton, and men who while hero nro sought
out by tho most txiworful cabinet minis
ters and senators, aro Editors Medill mid
Nixon, of Chicago; Wattorsou, of Itils
villo; Hnlsted, of Cincinnati; Charles
Emory. Smith, of Philadelphia; Agnus,
of Baltimore; Ilubloo, of Milwaukee;
ltaeowator, of Omaha. McLean, of Tho
Enquirer, lives In royal stylo hero, con
sulted mid courted by men of loth par
ties. There nro many journalists nnd print
era In congress. Some aro one, some the
other, mul not a fow both together, for
there is and prolxibly always will Iki a
strong link liotweoii tho trade and the
profession. Senator Hawloy, of Connec
ticut, has leen an editor for a quarter of
a century. Senator Hearst likes news
papers ho well that ho has bought one
for his sou in San Francisco. Senator
Teller owns n good nowHpaer iu Colo
rado, nnd Senator Joe Brown, of Geor
gia, edited a country newspaper when
ho was a young man. Senator Plumb,
who has been almost everything in his
time farmer, lawyer, court roKirter,
soldier, stockman, minor, millionaire
also added to his accomplishments tho
Betting of typo and writing of editorials.
Senator Dawes, of Massachusetts, to
whom tho country owes tho establish
ment of tho signal service mid dual com
pletion of tho Washington monument,
was n country school teacher beforo he
was a country editor. Fifty years ago
Mr. Dawes was presiding genius of Tho
Greenfield Gazctto and Tho Adams Tran
script. Senator Picrco left journalism hut n
few years ugo. Gen. Banks, tho man
who was sjeaker u third of a century
ago, was an editor beforo ho was a
statesman. Representative Stockbrldge,
of Maryland, combines editorial duties
with legislative, daily writing articles
for tho paper of which he is one of tho
editors, The Baltimore American.
Fithiau, of Illinois, left n print shop to
go into polities, while Shivery and
(Jhcadlo, of Indiana, are still In tho edi
torial harness. O'Donncll, of Michigan,
is editor of ouo of the best papers iu his
Btato. Fnrquhar, of New York, has been
a printer for a quarter of a century, nnd
to this ilay prefers mi afternoon in the
government printing olllco to ngood din
ner. Moore, of New Hampshire, Is editor
of one of tho many handsomely printed,
well edited papers of which his state
boasts.
Stivers, of Now York, keeps n paste
(Kit on his desk iu tho house just such a
pot as ho used to dip in while editing a
paper nt Middletown. Laws, of Nebras
ka, was ono of tho pioneer editors of his
state. Amos Cummings is a newspaper
writer and worker known tho country
over. Hnusbrough, of North Dakota, is
tho editor of Tho Inter Ocean nt Devil's
Lake. Wickhnui, of Ohio, and Do Haven,
of California, wero printers years ago,
while Hitt, of Illinois, mid Darlington,
of Pennsylvania, havo earned honest dol
lars making stenographic reports for
now8paH.'rs. Joe Scranton, of Scrantou,
is tho editor of Tho Scrantou Daily lie
publican. Scull, of tho Keystone state,
lias conducted a country paper for near
ly forty years.
McCord, of Wisconsin, Is, as ho says
In his biography, "by occupation a pub
lisher, lumberman and farmer, and by
profession an editor." Delegate Caine,
of Utah, founded Tho Salt Lake Herald,
tho organ of tho Mormons, while Posey
Green Lester, of Virginia, Is ono of tho
editors of Zion's Landmark.
From what I know of tho ability nnd
loyalty of journalist statesmen, I am will
ing to risk my reputation on tho asser
tion that tho country would bo safo with
an editor in tho White House, eight
journalists in tho cabinet, and -100 print
ers, reporters and correspondents in tho
sonato nnd houso.

Nltw YoltK, Jan. SJI. In a preceding
letter were given a brief account of the
life and voyages of AIIktIco Vespuccius,
IkjIUt known as Aiuerlcus Vespuccius,
mid a translation of ouo-lmlf of his fa
mous letter to lorciiM) do Medici, In
which he dcRcrllies his discoveries. It
contains a coneiso account of the two
continent and of the Indian races which
Inhabit them.
It Is strange to read that where now
aro great civilized cities wero less than
four centuries ago Kpulous trllies who
went naked, wero cannibals, had neither
law nor government and had no religious
Ideas whatsoever.
Tho hitherto imprinted half of this
letter is as follows:
Their wonHns aro Ikiws and arrows',
and when they prepare for war they
cover no part of their IkmIIos for tho sake
of protecting them, mid to this extent
are liko leasts. Wo, as far as wo could,
sought to dissuade them from these de
praved habits. Tho women, as I havo
said, walk about naked. To us it seemed
wonderful that among these women no
ono was seen who showed any bodily de
formity. These ooplo live 1(50 years, aro seldom
Hick, ami if they fall ill they euro them
selves with herb-i and roots. Tho air in
that country is very mild mid excellent,
mid, ns I Wfisnhlo to learn from the state
ment of tho natives, there is never any
pestilence nor any sickness which Is duo
to foul air, and except they die a violent
deatli they live long lives. I believe In
that country tho south winds aro always
blowing, and especially tho wind which
wo call tho east wind, and which is to
them what tlio north wind is to us. They
aro very fond of fishing, and their soa is
full of fish and nlounds iu overy species
of the finny trilw. Thoy aro not hunters.
I think that, since there aro many species
of forest animals there, mid especially of
lions, tcars mid numberless Bortmuts, nnd
other horrid mid ill shaped beasts, mid
that everywhere their foresta stretch out
long mid broad nnd tho trees nro of im
mense size, thoy do not dnrc, naked mid
without clothing and arms, to expoeo
themselves to such hazards.
The laud of thoso regions Is oxtremoly
fertile nnd abounds in numerous hills
mid mountains, boundless valleys and
mighty rivers, and watered by health
giving fountains; and stretching over it
nro vast, dense and scarcely pcnctrablo
forests, filled with overy species of wild
Iwasts. In tliat country tho largest trees
grow up without tho need of anybody to
plant them. Many of these trees pro
duce fruit which Is pleasant to the tasto
and useful to the human body, and somo
fruits, indeed, which nro tho opposite.
Tliero nro no fruits, howover, which re
semble those among us. Innumerable
varieties of herlis and roots are produced
there, from which thoy make bread, mid
thoy havo tho very best relishes and many
seeds, In every respect different from
ours.
None of tlio metals nro found there ex
cept gold, in which Inst thoso regions
abound. Wo had no opportunity to bring
any of it with us on our first voyage.
The natives made this fact known to us,
nnd used to say to us that iu tho interior
there was a great Bupply of gold, and
that It was not valued by them or held
tit u price. Pearls aro abundant. If I
should desire to recall tho particular ani
mals which nro tliero, nnd to writo con
cerning tho numerous sjiecies thereof
and tho multitude of them, tho tfisk
would Ihi altogether too long and great,
nnd I am certain that our Pliny could
not have touched u thousandth part of
tho species of parrots nnd other birds,
nor yet of tho animals which aro iu tho
same regions, with such a great diver
sity of iippearanco and hues that an ac
complished nrtlst would bo unablo ta
paint them.
All the trees In that country nro fra
grant, and somo of thoni produce elthei
mi oil or somo liquor. If their projier
ties were known to us I do not doubt but
that thoy would bo beneilclul to tho hu
man body, mid, certainly, if tliero ia an
earthly paradiso iu any part of tho world
I do not think that It is very far from
those regions. Their situation Is, as 1
havo said, toward tho west, in such a
mild ntmasphero that neither chilly win
ters nor broiling summer beats aro folt
there.
The sky nnd tho nlr nro ovor seronc
nnd free from thick clouds; tho rains full
slightly mid last only threo or four hours,
and disappear in tho semblance of a mist.
The heavens aro brilliant with magnifi
cent constellations and signs, nnd I have
noticed in it about twenty stars of as
great brightness ns wo sometimes oli
servo in Venus nnd Jupiter. I observed
their motions and revolutions, and meas
ured their lieripherlcs and diameters by
geometrical methods, and discovered
them to Iw of tho greatest magnitude I
perceived in tho sky there three stars as
bright ns Cnnopus, two of them very
clear, but the third olwcure. The ant
arctic polo is not figured with a Great
Bear and a Little Bear, as is our arctic
polo, nor Is there to Iw seen next to it
nny bright star, find among those which
revolve around it In a shortor orbit tliero
are tin ee which present the appearance
of a right angle triangle. Half the pe
riphery of these stars has a diameter of
nine and a half degrees. When these
stars Use one of them is perceived on
the left hand, of white color and consid
erable magnitude.
After theso como two other stars, hnlf
tho periphery of which has n diameter
of 12 degs., and along with them Is seen
another canopus star of white color. To
these succeed six other stars, the most
beautiful mid brilliant among dl the
eight other spheres, which have in the
face of tho firmament a periphe y of a
diameter of 03 dega. With them gX!3
)no dark canopus star of an linmensj
magnitude, 'liny nro seen In tho Milky
Way.
I discovered ninny other very beauti
ful Mars, the motions of-which I careful
ly noted and havo graphically described
In my lxok during my voynge. His
most serene highness Iiiih the volume
which I hope he will restore to me. In
that other hemisphere I saw things not
In harmony with tho doctrines of phil
osophers White lightning (St. Elmo's
fire) wan observed in the middle of the
night not only by myself but by all the
sailors.
Often have we seen the new moon on
the day v. hen it was Joined to the sun.
On Hiugle nights, iu that part or the
sky, Innumerable victors pass to mid fro
as well as burning fires.
Now, as I have said, we willed from
LIhImiii, which Is distant 1)0) (legs, from
the equinoctial line, through 10 (legs.,
which, added together, make alxiut 00
(legs., from which sum, since it amounts
to a fourth (Mirt of a groat circle, accord
ing to the true method of measurement
handed down to us by the nnclents,
It Is evident that, we have traversed
over a fourth part of the earth, mul
by this method wo, who Inhabit
IJsIkiii on this side of the equinoctial
lino iu a U0 J (leg., north latitude, are to
those who dwell iu a fiftieth degiee
beyond the same line In a southern lati
tude on mi angle of a lino which is in n
transverse direction; mid that you may
understand this tho more clearly, let n
ierpeiidieular lino, while wo stand erect
iu a straight line with the zenith, descend
to our head to them Uxii tho hide of tho
fin tli. mid draw ribs from them mid us,
itiesults that wo are In a straight line
mid on the selfsame transverse lino of
the same triangle, and let there lie drawn
tho figure of a right angle triangle, of
which lino wo have the oorresonding
one, and of this same pereiidicular let
tho base mid hypothenuso Imj drawn
from our vertical to theirs, and what has
Ixx'ii said concerning the cosmography
is sufficient.
These matters wero among tho more
imK)rtant of tho things which I saw on
Uiis my last voyage, which 1 called tho
third day,.for thore.wero two other days,
two other voyages, which at tho com
mand of his most Bcrcno majesty tho
king of Spain I havo made towards tho
west, iu which voyago I have noted won
derful things, ierformed by that sublimo
creator of all things, our God, and I
havo inado a diary of tho things worthy
of notice; to tho end that if nt nny time
the leisure should bo nfTorded mo, I
might gather together all thoso singular
and remarkable circumstances, nnd
writo a book cither on geography or
cosmography, in order that a remem
brance of mo might survivo to ixwtcrity,
and that tho vast workmanship of om
nipotent God, in part unknown to tho
ancients, might on tho other hand bo
known to us.
I therefore beseech tho most merciful
God that ho may prolong the days of
my life, nnd that by his good graco and
the health of my life I may bo ablo to
accomplish tho completo fulfillment of
my desires. I keep tho account of my
two other voyages in luyprivatocabinet,
and when his most hcrene majesty shuli
restore unto mo tho account of my third
voyago I shall endeavor to seek once
more my country and repose, where I
shall lie ablo to confer with learned men
and bo strengthened mid assisted by my
friends for completing my task.
Of theo I ask not a favor, if I do not
send unto theo an account of this my
last voyago, or rather my last day, as in
my former letter I havo promised unto
thee. ' Thou host known tho causo how
I was not able to receive from his most
serene majesty my original documents.
In my own mind I have been thinking
up to now to undertake a fourth voyage,
and this being accomplished, it was alsc
done witli a promise of two new ships
mid their armaments, that for seeking
now regions towards tho south iu the
direction of tho east I should pass
through the wind which is called tlu
African. In which voyago I think tc
accomplish many things, to the praise ol
God and tho advantage of this kingdom
and tho honor of my old age, and I lool
for nothing elso beyond tho consent ol
his most sereuo majesty. God granl
what may lie for tlio best. IIo knowetb
that which shall como to pass.
