only narrow petulance rings the changes on
them to the ignoring of the fact that the

POETRY AND LAW.

The State of Indiana at last has what it
has long needed, a poetical officer, in the
person of Attorney general Hord. In his
recent lengthy opinion regarding the new
insurance laws the following extracts found
Insurance is a business in which the
whole public has direct and positive in
terest, and it is subject to the power of the
body-politic, which may command and en-
force compliance with such regulations as
may be established by legislative authority
for the common good. 1t is the policy of the
State to subject insurance business to its
supervision and control, for the better Sc
curty of policy-holders and the Auditor,
an executive officer of the State, has been
rendered the custodian of this vital and inn
portant trust invested in some degree with
power and authority to interrupt the prac-
tice OF oppression, imposition and fraud,
with which the people have been too often
deluged by the uncomfortable Vaccinations
of some irresponsible companies, the base
less fabric of a vision, and as unsubstantial
as an exhalation, bubble, or dream. The
great philosopher OF poetry must have had
some such institutions in view when he de-
clared that
"Tmagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown the poets pen
Turns them TO Shape, and gives to airy nothing
local hahitation and name"
Now that's something like" as the street
expression has it. Heretofore official opin-
ions have been dull and prosaic. Their pub
LEGATION was necessary, but they were of lit
tie interest to the general reader. Attorney
general Baldwin promulgated some learned
and frequent opinions, but they lacked
poetic fervor The facts were all right and
the construction legally correct, but in none
of them could you find positive exhalation
of genius. Mr.. Baldwin could not invest an
opinion on an insurance law with deli
cious sentiment as in the extract given
above. When his official opinion was asked
regarding the proper tax on dogs of divers
genders he could not answer it in a manner
to satisfy the longing soul and lift the weary
mortal above base worldly affairs. Mr.. Bald
win was au fat in the general duties of his
Office, and he was also real handy when some
body was wanted to make a speech; but he
was no poet. Mr., Hord is and the suspicious
beginning he has already made will cause his
future opinions to be looked forward to with
great interest by the literary world. Indeed,
it is understood that already movement is
on foot to dramatic his opinion on the road
law when it shall have been given. The
subject is full of contemporaneous human
interest, and a play based upon it, under
such circumstances, when produced with the
proper accessories, red lights and slow music,
must achieve great success. If this venture
proves successful, Mr.. Hord's subsequent
opinion on the decedents' estates act will be
worked into melodrama and produced with
startling realistic effects. Mr.. Hord is man
with possibilities.

THE first proposition of the free traders is
that their policy would reduce the wages of
laboring men % per cent That is conceded.
1t is asserted, however, that to Offset this re-

to the laboring man 80 per cent. on the cost
of his living. The first is fact, the second
what his living costs him, and see whether
the free traders proposition is sound. How
much will free trade reduce rent and the
price OF the ordinary articles of TODD?
