SHAKESPEARE OR BACON.
To the Editor of the Neao York s,s,,

To the Editor Of the Net0 York Sun !:
Mrs. Potts has lately published
in England book concerning Lord
Bacon's Promus. The following
notes reproduce its more striking
points:
The writer of the preface is of the
opinion that the similarities to
Bacon in Shakespeare arise merely
from the latter having borrowed
from Bacon. Many a tribute them
to their having studied the same
books. But this oDliges us also to
believe that from these books two
men so different derived identically
the same theories and turns of ex-
preston, tastes and antipathies. In
looking at the Promus it really
seems as If Bacon had been taking
notes for Shakespeare. We find in
1t hundreds Of notes of which no
trace has been discovered in any of
his own writings, or in any of his
contemporaries except Shakespeare.
In almost every department OF
knowledge and opinion we have Ba-
| cons mind in Shakespeare's writ
ings.
In many cases We have identical
forms of speech, words, and uses of
words not found in previous or con-
temporary writers.
There are recorded in the Promus
203 English proverbs, of which no
less than 152 are to be found in
Shakespeare, while scarcely one of
them is to be found in Bacon's own
writings. Why would he have
noted them if he had not intended
to have used them?
In one case we find two proverbs
combined in the Promus and also in
plays, and yet they do not occur to-
gether in the book from which Ba.
con took them.
There are few proverbs not in
the Promus that are in Shakespeare,
but these may be found in Bacon'S
letters and speeches.
There are 240 foreign proverbs in
the Promus, and 151 of them are also
in the plays. 1t is hardly probable
that Shakespeare had sufficient
knowledge of French, Italian and
Spanish to enable him to introduce
them and adapt sentiments from
them as if they were household
words,
The frequent occurrence in the
plays Of the wise saws of the ancient
leads to the conviction that they
were not taken at first hand from
the various classical authors, but
from the commentaries of Erasmus
and there are 225 of these Erasmu;
notes in Shakespeare. And it is re.
markable that they are not set down
IN the Prom us in the order in which
they occur in Erasmus, but are ar
ranged as if for a purpose.
In the Promus occurs the adage
ITO drive out a nail with a nail.
This adage is introduced in "Tht
Two Gentlemen of Verona" anC
also in "Coriolanus," and its setting
in both places is so peculiar anC
Baconian as to be most remarkable
We see Bacon's strong tendency tx
use antithetical forms of speech anC
metaphors founded upon his scien
tltic researches, and in both case.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1883-03-04

appears an original and erroneous
scientific theory of Bacon's regard.
ing heat. 1t is almost past belief
that any two men should, at pre-
cisely the same period, have con-
ceived the same theories and MADE
the same mistakes.
The few Latin proverbs which
were faEorites of Bacon, and often
quoted by him In letters and
speeches (though not in the Pro-
mus, are all in Shakespeare.
One Of his fayorites Bacon does
not use later than 1900; nor does it
appear in any play of Shakespeare
written after that time. OF $50
SMILES and metaphors in Bacon,
900 are found in Shakespeare.
In some of BacOn's letters, in
| which he discusses his writings by
name, there is allusien to another
class of writings which he calls
"works of recreation" without de
scribing them definitely. Sir Toby
Matthew, to whom these letters
were written, wrote to Bacon: "The
most prodigious wit that ever
knew is of your name, though he be
known by another"
Perhaps this does not prove thai
Bacon and Shakespeare were ideDt
zeal, but such evidence as it affords
might suffice to hang man if hi
were on trial Tor his life.

From out the leafy glades
Ran little babbling brooks IN friendly

Transporting from the lonely forest

Such tones methinks do ne'er become

to have gotten their deals pretty we'll set-
| tied up, so that the aggregate of outstand
ing contracts is undoubtedly relatively
small, especially if compared with
those of week ago. The shipping de-
mand for the last three or four days has
been quite good, and from all Indications
the outgo of lard and meats promises TO
show up pretty fairly for few days 70
come. 1t is known that freight room for
a round lot of lard has been contracted,
and while stocks of everything are liberal
at this point they are not excessive N the
country, and the price is now down TO a
point that the majority appear to believe
ought to induce liberal consumption 4
large amount of money that was locked uP
in margins has been released by the settle
ment of contracts. and this tends to more
ease of financial markets. There were NO
failures reported to-day, and the whole
situation was much improved, the general
opinion being the market was pretty we'll
on the bottom, and that now the worst is
over. Receipts of hogs are fair and ths
quality excellent-about 1920. rumOt
was circulated that one of our local banks
was in trouble, and this broke prices OF
considerably, and the closing was tame,
though when pushed to the point it was
found the Chicago banks were all right.
Pork was only moderately active, and,
while ruling somewhat irregular, was irmer,
though it closed at about the prices current
on Wednesday. Offerings were
very small in comparison with
the past four days and prominent opera
tors took hold moderately of nearly all
options. The spot demand was fair, cash
and June steady at 5000 under the July
option. July opened at $17O5, sold up
to ST. 1913, reacted to $685. under report
of bank failure, and closed at $16.S56
1872, which is 214@5c under closing
figures on change yesterday. Prices were
we'll sustained on call, although the offer
ings were quite large. Trading in lard
was confined within comparatively narrow
limits, the offerings being far less Urgent
than for several days past, and while
buyers stood ready to take fair amounts,
they were not disposed to pay the advance
generally insisted upon. Prices averaged
some frmer, but the closing was about the
same as Wednesday. Cash and June the
same to 211ac under the July option. July
opened at $685., sold up to $3.50, dropped
to 1866 and closed at 1910, gain for
point being made on call where there was
good demand. The provision markets
are now in better shape than the gram
markets, the latter being the source of
present weakness.

at the half door of family confidence to
catch the word of trusted truth. And, not
only this, bargain was attempted by
government officials to induce one of my
servants to steal my books and papers
| from the Office of which he had charge.
But my honest black boy could not be
bribed by white suoundrels, who had con-
troll of the rich wealth of the public treas
ury to bribe with; and, not only this, the
people conducting this prosecution were so
depraved that they naturally called ia
women to exercise powers that belong to
women to obtain advantages
that other means had failed to bring.
Power is great accompanied by coward
ice, Juctice is greater accompanied by
courage. The public has been made to
believe have taken from the treasury
millions of dollars. That belief has been
brought about by persistent and contin-
uous charges of misled newspapers. Gar
field knew it was a lie. Arthur knew it
was lie. MacVeagh knew it was a lie.
Brewster knew it was lie. Bliss knew it
was lie. All of them from the stalled OK
feeding at the rich trough of accident to
the meanest worm which fed from the re-
fuse swept from behind him, knew it was
lie.
intended to give you full statement
of the conduct of the prosecution, but
as I go over the ground I find
it will take too much of your time to re-
cord it. What have said is but the shadow
of an intimation of the truth beyond.
With proper regard for generations that
ows that cover their shame. 1t lays its
cold hand upon the black face of what the
government calls justice. Let the Gu rtain
be raised by others.
To sum up, it may be remarked this is
supposed to be free government of an
Anglo-Saxon people, founded upon the
eternal principles of equal and exact JUS
tice to all men, and yet the history of
this trial shows that at the very
capital of such a nation, where
the government is tangible fact and a
visible agency, it has been shown it is pcs
sible to organize conspiracy of vengeance
under the mask of legal prosecution that
did not stop in its Internal career until it
had exhausted the arts of bribery upon
everybody connected with its intended vic
tim, from his associates in business to the
cook in his kitchen. STEPHEN w. DORSEY.

GERMANY.

BERLIN, June 21.-FIoods have occurred
in Silesia, attended by water spouts. A
large part of the town of Hershburg was
submerged, and the houses of adjacent
villages were flooded. The railway near
Salesbrunn was washed away. A number
of cattle persisted. Dispatches from Bres-
lau state that during the last twenty four
hours the river Neisse, at the town of that
name, has been most alarming, the water
having reached the highest mark since
1929. The Evangelical school and church,
two barracks and part of the postofice are
submerged. Disastrous floods are also re-
ported in Bohemia and Moravia. The
danube is expected to overflow its banks
shortly. as the river Inn and the mountain
streams are rising rapidly. The quay at
Linz is flooded.
BRUSSELS, June 81. The trial is pro-
ceediug at Marcheen of FAMINE, of Bolard,
the French adventurer, who by pretending
he knew Victor Hugo, Gambetta and other
prominent men, obtained 100000 francs
from local bankers, fled to France, but was
extradited on demand of the Belgian au
thorities. In the proceedings yesterday
the prisoner declared that Gambetta paid
him a large amount for procuring impor-
tant German papers concerning Bismark.
He also said the money he was embezzling
had really been paid him as bride for
members of the French chamber of depu-
ties.

NEW YORK.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. ]


New YORK, June 21 The market was
inclined to be weak in early dealings, tks
Vanderbilts particularly so. New York
Central fell to $1.19. Rumors of the cut
ting of passenger rates between the lines
running west of this city were circulated
by the bears, and the market was vigor-
ously hammered. In the last hour stocks
improved throughout the list, New York
Central selling at $1.2018. st. Paul and
Delaware, and Lackawanna were quite
active. Pullman advanced to 1:314,
Lake Erie & Western rose 81 per cent.
and there was good deal doing IN Ontario
d Western. Wabash common and pre-
ferred regained the losses of yesterday
The fact that there was no mage
failures among operators in grain
and provisions helped to restore confidence
in Wall street. At the last stocks we're
quite steady throughout, without any ex-
citement or rumors calculated to influence
either side and the feeling decidedly bet
ter than earlier in the day. Nc special
reason is assigned for the late break, ex-
cept that floods in the west were threaten
ing, and that the market had more sellers
than buyers. 1t is fact that seFegaf of
the largest buyers have recently 5eon
straining every nerve to unload theiEg kGla
ings at higher figures. The break in UA
ion Pacific was the first indication of a
rupture in that pool, and the break IN UH-
| ion Pacific led to the slump. Some sur
prise was manifested that Western Ua-
ion should have yielded so
easily to the bear attacks and the
Wabashes, which have been so we'll ssp-
ported. The bulls proclaimed that the
work was only "a healthy reaction" while
the bears chuckled with glee and pocksted
their profits.
There is beginning to be talk that New
York Central is down to per cent
basis, and that the West Shore road, doing
its best, can scarcely expect to put New
York Central below the limit of safe
per cent. stock. The decline in Western
Union is owing to the disappointment of
Western Union officials in not obtaining
an immediate removal of the injunctIOR
against the payment of dividends. The
transactions in Lackawanna and st. Paul
have been enormous. In almost every
stock there were large offerings. Opera
tors differ materially as to the nature of
the movement. Very shrewd bankers cm-
slider it a liquidation resulting from the
Chicago failures. They say the distrugt Of
commission houses has been aroused, and
country orders to sell have glutted the
markets. Others allege that leading opsr
ators gave out large selling orders with
the idea of dressing the market in order Co
permit covering. The weight Of opinion
inclines to the liquidation theory. What
ever may be the cause traders have heoE
an important factor in the result Nearly
every trader of prominence has boon
an active seller and heavy hammerer Of
stocks.
