SummaryResumen
The newspaper reported that the government of Santo Domingo discovered the remains of Christopher Columbus and appropriated $10,000 toward a monument, while calling on other countries to contribute. The accompanying editorial commentary questioned whether Columbus deserved such a monument, comparing his voyage to the everyday business pressures faced by merchants.
El rotativo consignó que las autoridades de Santo Domingo descubrieron los restos mortales de Cristóbal Colón y sufragaron 10.000 pesos para la fábrica de un monumento, recabando contribuciones de otras naciones. La glosa editorial acompañante ponía en tela de juicio si el descubridor merecía semejante homenaje, equiparando su travesía a los afanes cotidianos con que lidian los hombres de comercio.

The Bones of Columbus.
Peek’s Sun.
The government of Santo Domingo has dis
covered tlio remains of Christophor Columbus,
aud has appropriated $10,000 towards a monu
ment and calls on all other countries to con
tribute. We never have been able to see how
Columbus was entitled to credit for discover
ing America. Discovering America was his
business, aud by strict aitention he was mo<lj
erately successful. But be‘had no ruinous
competition to contend against, like our dry
goods merchants and grocers. He also got all
the time he wanted, and no interest to pay. If
Columbus bad been obliged to discover Amer
ica in sixty days, the probability is he would
no more than got his goods unpacked aud
nicely displayed on the shelves when a draft
from the bank would come in, and he would
have to take care of it. Then it would have
been seen what kind of a man Chris, was. If
|ie had met his paper promptly, and not asked
the bank to carry it for him a few days until
he could get some matters in that he had
standing ont, we should be in favor of giving
him a monument three hundred feet high. But
history does not show that he was any more
deserving of being handed down to Dosterity
than dozens of others, who have Itood the
hard times and come through with their capi
tal unimpaired. As we look at it, Columbus
