Arthur and Cornell Removed.

Washington, D. c., July 12.-The removal Of
Collector Arthur and Naval Officer Cornell, of
New York, causes great deal OF comment in po'
litlcal circles here, because 1t is re.opening of
the contest between the Administration and
Conkling and is the first really aggressive blow
Hayes has struck in that fight Up to this time
the fight has been pretty much Of Conkling's
making, and he has been uniformly victor 1t
will be remembered that the President did once
before send in new names for the Offices that there
was a great fight over them in the Senate, and
Conkling secured their re lection, Now the Presi-
dent seems TO have assumed the offensive, and
has removed Conkljngs pets summarlly and ef-
fectively, for a time at least since the Senate is
not in session to either reject or confirm. Under
the law, If the Senate refuses to confirm when 1t
again meets In December, the old incumbents
will be reinstated, and will remain in Office until
new names are confirmed or until Congress ad-
Ourns again, when the President can repeat his
present tactics. Meanwhile, until Congress re.
cOnuenes, the new appOintees will hold the Offices
and draw the pay, and hence the President Will
be master of the situation until December. The
Presidents present action is IN accordance with
the advice which HarperS Weekly and the Curtis
FentOn wing of the New York Republicans have
been giving him very persisently OF late; but the
Presidents peacefulness while Congress was in
session Bnd aggressiYeness now are looked upon
here as a sign of cowardCe. The Presidents act
is undoubtedly intended to aid In fight being
made to prevent Conkling's return to the Senate.

PROBABLY the happiest little country
in the world is the Island of Cyprus
which was coded by Turkey to England
as part Of the late war treaty. 1t is
stated that real estate has doubled in
value since it became known that the
Island was transferred to England. No
greater compliment could be paid to
the stability Of government than this.
1t illustrates the difference between the
government Of England and that OF
Turkey. Every citizen of the Island

LOOKING SERIOUS.

A Washington dispatch under date Of
July 18th says the views at the war
department with regard to the Indian
war have again faced about. The
troubles in the northwest are now spoken
of as wearing . serious aspect" The
fact that the war department opinions
are generally about one day behind
those expressed in the newspapers,
leads to suspicion that the former are
now original. Sherman is now hasten
ing forward to the west all troops avail
able for the purpose. Garrisons on the
seaboard have been withdrawn, and
heavy artillery regiments have been
armed and drilled Is infantry, and are
en- route to the seat Of war. An official
list of the stations Of troops shows that
to-day there is only one regiment east
OF the Mississippi,-the Eighteenth In
fantry. 1t is intended to order that
west also. Official reports show heavy
artillery attachments armed with musk
cts to be performing effective service.
DISPOSAL OF PUBLIC LANDS.

ACCORDING to the address of Mr.. l..
=. Perkins before the Free Canal As
ISOLATION held ut Buffalo last week, the
Erie canal has not been much of an
elephant Oh the hands of the state of
New York, and the time has come when
the empire state can well afford to make
the canal free to commerce. Mr. Per-
kins stated that the construction of the
old Erie canal was authorized by the
legislature of New York, April 10, 1917.
Operations were commenced July 4 of
that year, and the canal was completed
and opened ON the Goth of October,
1895. Its estimated cost was ~, $780, 3S,
while the actual cost was 81 ,143,7 S9.
This expenditure of money had never
been felt by the people of the state.
After running for ten years the bust
ness had so TAR increased that it had to
he enlarged. Authority for this purpose
was obtained from the legislature May,
1885. The enlargement was commenced in
August, 1886, and it was completed in
September, 1862. The estimated cost
of this work was SO, 4O2 ,S63, while the
actual expenditure of this work was 49,
O0S,S5l. The length of the canal after
the enlargement was 500 miles The
average annual cost of repair per mile
was only $400. The state received for
tolls, from the year 1921 to September,
1866, inclusive, the aggregate sum of
500, 493, 1l9. During the same period
the cost of repairs was S21 ,O36,5l7, the
net profit being $72,907 ,60l. Certainly
this ~ good showing, and is n strong
argument in favor of the principles of
the Free Canal Association. This as
ISOLATION has recently been organized
and is composed mainly of merchants
and business men of Buffalo and and
New York City. The association is or
gained for the purpose of securing
such state legislation as will make the
Erie Canal free. 1t is argued that the
advantages to accrue the city and state
of New York by the increase of trade
would amply repay the state for the
cost Of maintaining a free canal and this
Is doubtless true As it would reduce tn ;
cost of shipping the produce of the west
to rate that would turn an immense
quantity Of grain that now goes to
Philadelphia and Baltimore back in
the old channel through the state OF
New York. OF course the producers o!
the west would be greatly benefited 10y
the free canal as it would place the
cost of transportation at the lowest
figure to be reached hy through water
route.

= SAMPSON AGONIsTEs.
The Sampson Agonistes was Milton q
last poem. It is called the most per-
feet poem, on the model of tile Greek
drama, to: be found outside of the Greek
language, and Shaw thinks it will give
one better idea of the pure, classical
drama than any translation of Greek
tragedy could. We wish to recon-
mend it, because Milton in this poem
has given: expression to his own suffer-
Jugs. Samp; son with eyes put out,
grinding slayishly for the Plilistines,
afforded Milton 4 picture somewhat
like himself, and he has seized upon
this and given us one of his most beau
tifnl poems.
TO NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. character
was remarkably pure and his person
wonderfully handsome. The service
Which he rendered the cause of liberty
was nearly as great us that done to it,
erattne. His genins is above that of all
other poets in sublimjty and sustained
flight.
Ills STYLE.
Miltou's style has often been objected
to as inverted and stiff. True, it has IT
the free rhythm OF Shakespeare, or of
later times, but Addison rather makes
Millions inverted style merit, rs a
thing necessary to raise the form and
outward expression to the height of his
subject. While Milton is often obscure
to the general reader, he has ontbursts
Of straight. forward, naked, vigorous
Englisl, in Paradise Lost which have
no parallel anywhere unless it be in
Shakespeare.
In conclusion. let me recommend
these great authors to your study.
Those who do not relish them now will
soon find their taste and their imagira-
ton quickened, and then they will find
Il mental refreshment and transporta-
ton in reading them, which nothing
else can give.
