"Cedareroft."


n IL ~ aVIAa " Ii a Osydfo AaIiot'
In passing from Oxford to West Chest
er / made a detour from the main road
and visited Ccdarcroft, the home of the
late Bayard Taylor. The place is in
charge of a courteous and intelligent
negro couple, who were busily engaged
in putting the house and grounds in or
der in anticipation of the arrival of Mrs.
Taylor and her daughter.
A farmer whose lands adioin Cedar
croft, said that Mrs. Taylor and her
daughter were very kind and polite to
those who made pilgrimages to Cedar
croft. ''They are a good bit like Bay
ard, he said. "He wa kindness and
courtesy personitied, and a master hand
to entertain by his talk and stories.-
Some folks thought a good deal OF his
lectures, but in comparison with his con-
versation. they were constrained and
unentertaining. Lying under the cedars
he would smoke his long-stemmed pipe
and talk about his travels, about books
and everything under the sun, in a vein
that was charming beyond my poor
powers to express. He has often kept
me by the hour; and though l am more
than ordinarily fond of music, l have
never heard a song in my life which
was sweeter to listen to than the care
less, half-earnest, half-jocular disserta-
tons in which B:yard was wont to in
dulge, as he pulled away at his pipe and
sent the smoke wreaths upward"
Another neighbor said. II used to 60
to school with Bayard. He was always
a fine fellow-chock full Of spirit and
snap. He was never so happy, boy or
man, as when he was doing some of us
a favor. Yes" he added, retlectively,
'Bay was agood neighbor; he did a heap
for the town, and when he died in Ber-
lin, Kenneth lost a friend"
''Your people about here" / ven
tured, 'came to think, after q while,
that he was considerable of q man, I
supposed"
'Oh, yes. Long at first, when he
was learning printin', and got to writ
ing poetry and wantin' to go to Europe,
folks thought he was kinder odd like,
but we got used to all that, and some of
us usedto read his books. He was a good
neighbor, and most of US around here
cried when he died"
1t was gratifying to know that Ken
nett was disposed to forgive the literary
transgressions. l passed on smiling,
and contrasted the different views Of
Taylor's Wilhelm schoolmate and Thorn
as Bailey Aldrich. Amid the signing
Of the cedars the ~latter's beautiful trib-
ute to Bayard Taylor came back to me,
and with a full heart / murmured the
closing lines, and felt that they were
true:
And when the summer winds sweep over Co
darcroft,
He'll come again. lean not make him dead.

A Letter from DIR. Yeaman.

Tn the Editor Of The Ledger:
GLASGOW, August PEI see IN the
columns of your paper something Of
a controversy about my position on
the question of prohibition. | sup
pose there was no such controversy
until the meeting of the State Con-
yention at jefferson City. There l
was twice interviewed by representa-
tives of the press touching this ques-
ton. In the first interview l was
asked If | was President of the Mis-
souri, State Prohibition Alliance. l
answered, Il am not. My distin-
guished friend, John A. Brooks, is
President of that Alliance" l was
then asked if l was chairman of the
executive committee of the alliance.
| answered, II am not / was then
asked if | would accept a nomination
by the convention if the platform
should have i'll it a resolution oppos-
ing prohibition. 1 replied. Eyes. L
am Il democrat, and do not propose
| dictate the utterances of the cOnven-
ton. l will accept a nomination if
rendered ne whether the platform
have an anti-prohibition or prohibition
plank in it yet l think the platform
should not and will not have either
At the second interview l was asked:
''Are you a prohibitionist?' My
answer was: "P~ersonally, l am a
prohibitionist. AS a democrat, l am
opposed to encumbering the platform
with any expressions on this subject,
for or against. 1t Is not a party
issue, and should not be made SUCH
My language was not reported with
exactness in the st. Louis Republican.
Fortunately for me, there were sew
eral very intelligent and reliable gen
tlemen in my room at the time of this
second interview, one of whom was
cautious enough to make 4 writer
note of my language. He has hi:

fairly with the opinions of men, ant
am satisfied that it has not intended
me any injustice. do not write Thu

A Committee of the Iowa legislature
has reported favorably upon a bill pro-
hibiting public officials from accept
ing railway passes. If members OF
the Wisconsin legislature were pro-
hibited from accepting such brides
commonly called courtesies--each ses-
sion of our State legislature would be
considerably reduced in length, fol-
lowed by corresponding decrease in
legislative expenses. besides a remev-
al of the obligations of members to
railway companies who seek legisla-
ton. No member who leaves Madi-
son Friday evenings during the ses-
sion to go home. to Milwaukee, Chica-
90, or elsewhere, to return Monday
evenings, on railway passes, can act
without bias in matters affecting the
interests of the people, when such in
terests conflict with those of the cor
porations whose passes they so freely
enjoy. Were it not that members had
masses there would be no adjourn
ments from Friday to Monday even
ings as is now generally the case. the
expense continuing as though sessions
we're held on Saturday and Monday.
