TYPICAL AMERICAN.
A'SKETCH OF ‘THE BRAVE LEADER
OF THE COWBOY REGIMENT.
Roosevelt is a Man with a Future Who
Learned Human Nature on the Prairie:
and Who Can Turn His Knowledge tr
.Account Upon the Tented Fields.
Theodore Roosevelt has so much an-
deared himself to the American people
by his cheerful optimism that the
president of his alma mater once saw
fit to make apology for it. The sub-
sequent events have shown that the
student was the master of the sage,
the scholar the head of the school. This
is
notable circumstance probably .had
more efiect in shaping Roosevelt’s
public career than all he learned within
its walls, and will certainly do him a
vastly greater service than any parch-
ment diploma. which that ancient in-
For had Presi-
dent Eliot seen fit to laud Roosevelt’s
course on the Monroe doctrine instead
of to deprecate it, that pluckypyoung
American might well have asked with
Daniel O’Connell, "What have I done
wrong now?"
Since leaving Harvard Roosevelt
has been more familiar with the herd
book than with Horace, yet he has
found time while administering law to
the ranchers and rough riders of the
West, to make more notable contribu-
tions to American literaturethan any
public man of today. But he is no
mere dilletante maker of books and
fine phrases.
Whether as a rancher on the banks
of Bitter Greek, or as chief of that de- '
partment at Washington which aims
to purify the spoils system, and to re-
form the public service, Colonel Roose-
velt has invariably proved himself to
be a man of fixed convictions" and of
rare courage. “I would rather see this
Administration turned out because it
enforced the laws, than to see it suc-
ceed in violating them,” is a charac-
teristic phrase of the man, and which
gives his character in a nutshell.
Phrases like this might be culled from
his sayings, but it would be only a
rosary of Roosevelt’s manly straight-
forward qualities. He speaks as
straight as he shoots, and Roosevelt’s
record as a cowboy is 23 bulls eyes out
of a. possible 25, while astridc a mus-
tang in full gallop.
His first step after leaving Harvard
with the blessings of the faculty, was
to mend New York politics. For two
hundred and fifty years the‘name of
Roosevelt has been connected with the
business interests of the metropolis. It
‘is a name associated with one of the
oldest of New York‘s streets, and with
one of the most serviceable of the city’s
hospitals. Colonel Roosevelt’s debut
in public life was conceived with the
view of making manifest the influence
of the scholar in city politics; and in
this purpose he succeeded sufficiently
to give increased power to the Mayor
of New York and to take away from
the aldermen the power of confirming
apflintments. He was also the can-
didate of the Republican party for
Mayor of New York in 1886, his op-
ponents being the late Henry George
and Abram S. Hewitt.
Col. Roosevelt, however, was destin-
ed to be identified with New York poll-
tics later on. But meantime he was
making the most of his opportunities
to shape his own and the'country’s
future. 'Two years after leaving Har-
vard Roosevelt wrote a. history of the
Naval War of 1812. The book took
high literary rank and paved the way
for his entrance into public service,”
assistant Secretary of the Navy. The
vigorous style of this initial work did
much to arouse the country to the neo-
essity for an enlarged navy, and to
quicken the patriotic sentiment of the
country, which was then beginning to
be tinged all over with burnished hue
of gold. A year afterwards he gave
the public some glimpses of his stud-
ies of pioneer life in a work on ranches
in the West, and of the “Hunting Trips
of a Ranchman',” which are filled with
delightful reminiscences of western
fife; and in which much that was worth
knowing has been rescued trch fore-
~ fathers or from mere hearsay and tra-
dition. His experience hunting the
bison or the buffalo, and the physical
wiriness then developed'will prove as
useful to him now. in Cuba as his
knowledge as a student of naval his-
tory made him an invaluable aid in
the Navy Department in preparing for
the present war with Spain. He
brought to the navy the experience
and researches of a scholar, and he
now brings to the Roosevelt rangers
the skill, endurance and exploits of a
horsemen who is as happy in the sad-
dle as other men are while in bed.
That Colonel Roosevelt understands
the west and its matters, and appre-
ciates them, is proveu by the hearty
manner in which he has elucidated its
phases in his many works. And in
nothing is this broad and American
view so well borne out as in consider-
ing the number of thOSe works which
treat of the noble examples of the west,
and of the bounding nature of tho
backwoodsman that. Roosevelt. has
given to the reading communities of
the East. In the view of this descend-
ant of the early Dutch settlers of New
Amsterdam, the winning of that vast
Empire nursed ’by strong men, and
taught by fate to know Ichoval’s plan
“That man’s devices can’t make a.
man” ought to be the great theme Of
our statesmen. For it is upon the
character and prosperity of the west
that much of our future as a nation
deneuds. Colonel Roosevelt, there-
,fm‘e. is never weary‘ of telling in the
Eight volumes of his entitled “The
.Winning of the West,” of the part
which the frontiersman has played,»
and of the part which his descendants
will play all through the coming years
in shaping our national future. Hav-
ing thus thoroughly familiatized him-
self with the West and having ab-
sorbed of Its large sympathies and 01'
no less successful at the National Cap-
ital. There the scenes were ghangcd
but not the man. He was as popular
in' Washington as he was in Dakota.
and when he bade good-bye to his col-
leagues ’recently, to actively enter into
the Cuban campaign, his omce 3'?
Washington Was strewn With flowers.
and there was scarcely a dry eye
among those various officials who call-
ed to say farewell. .
It is Frederic Harrison who says
that “the man of culture in politics is
one of the poorest mortals alive.” But
Col. Roosevelt has shown that the man
of culture can wield great influence in
political life; and that men of culture
have as great opportunities before
them in American as in Europeanlife.
It is the lot of too many men of so-
called culture that they really are not
men of culture at all, but that they
whom Matthew Arnold called “‘our
barbarians."
cal, jejune class, who are steeped. with
an insousiance proportionate to their
desire to patronize the plain people,
only learnt the wisdom that Roosevelt
could teach them it would not be so
difiicult to reconcile politics’and the
scholar, in this country.
When Colonel Roosevelt was asked
one day what he would do with the city
young men if he had the power, "I’d
order them to work,” said he as quick
as the snap' of a gunlock. “Ihave
tried to do this by example," contin-
ued he, “and it is what I have preach-
ed; for myself I’d work as quick be-
_ side Pat Duggan as with. the last de-
scendant of a patroom: it literally
makes no difference to me as long as
the work is good and the man is in
earnest.” No such wisdom as this was
learned at Harvard. And it is no
small tribute to the confidence which
this man is capable of inspiring even
in men who never saw him—and most
of whom were also aware that he had
never been in action—that volunteers
from every part of the Union mor‘e
freeiystaked their lives upon Colonel
Roosevelt’s judgment and were less
afraid to did if necessary in his com-
pany, than if he were a West Point
graduate and a. full-fledged military
commander.
’ Roosevelt is a man with a future
who has learned human nature on the
prairies, and who can turn his knowl-
edge to account upon the tented fields.
If the war progresses he is also mor-
ally certain to make a. creditable rec-
ord there. He is no mere cantlng
theorist, but a. broad guage practical
man whose education in the world be-
gets the highest confidence in his ca-
pacity to face the future—a. future that
is quite likely to have no room for
mere men of leisure. but. which may
be depended open even to put itself
to same inconvenience in order to
make room for men of the stamp of
Theodore Roosevelt. ’ .
Spanish Cruelties.
John Gilmer Speed discussing the
Spaniard says of them: “Still, after
all that can be said for them, it must
he confessed that the Spaniards as'a
whole are cruel and bloody minded
judged by our stander _. They may
not be unkind parents, r, among the
”peasantry, unkind husbands. But what
no English speaking people can stom-
ach is the national passion for the
bull fight. No passion or sentiment
anywhere in the world is so compre-
hensively and intensely national as the
passion for “tauro-machia” is today in
Spain. There was a time when bull
fighting had a. comparatively slight
hold on the northern provinces, but
that time is past. Just as the broad
.“faja,” or girdle, is the one article
of dress which is worn by all the com-
mon people of Spain, otherwise as
various in costume as all the rural
populations of France and Germany
“put together, so are they all united
in their love for this amusement. The
man who will not save up all his pen-
nies to pay for admission to a grand
Sunday or Corpus Christi “corrida de
toros” is either an inveterate spend-
thrift or no Spaniard; and if ’he leaves
his wife at home he is a. bad husband.
What. we Americans cannot and never
will understand about bull fighting,
even when we have managed to master
all the intricacies of the game itself,
is how a gathering of both men and
women can laugh and cheer, and clap
hands, and throw their hats into the
ring when a. living disembowelled
horse is making his screams heard
above all the uproar. On the whole,
we would rather not understand it.
There is one Spanish woman for whose
memory all Americans feel some rev-
erence—Isabella the Catholic, who
pawned her jewels to fit out Cristobal
Colon—and it is pleasant for us to re-
member that Isabella the Catholic set
her face sternly against bull fighting,
and would have abolished it in her
dominions if she could, but even Isa-
bella was not strong enough for tint."
Equal to the Occasion.
Err-Secretary William M. Evarts was
for a. long time the most skilful of all
public men in polite and pointed repar-
tee, says the Ladies’ Home Journal. At
a reception in Wasnington he was once
drawu into- a discussion between two
women.
“Mr. Eyarts,” said one, “do you not
think I am‘right in saying that a wo-
man is always the best judge of an-
other woman’s character?” .
“Madam,” replied. Mr. Evarts, “she is
not only the best judge, but also the
lest executioner.”
Speed of the Gulf Stream. ‘
Three miles ‘an hour is about the
average speed of the Gulf Stream. At
certain places, however, it attains a
speed of fifty-one miles an hour, the
