The Legislature cannot do better thar
hurry the passage Of the amendment to the
auction law. Much injustice and injury has
resulted from the enforcement OF the obsolete
enactment under which sales at night are at
present prohibited. 1t is impossible to hold q
successful sale Of paintings in the day time:
business men cannot afford the time to attend
except In the evening. and the picture sales OF
the winter have always been occasions OF no
little interest and agreeable excitement. Sew
eral OF Importance are now pending. but II
there be a failure on tho part OF the Legislature
to amend the claw, they will be indefinitely post
poned, or effected in Boston or Philadelphia.
There can be no excuse for delay In the mat
ter; the question is purely technical. and any
opposition to 1t must be inspired by improper
motives.

fully the religious was separated from the
secular education, would there not DO a re-
ligious atmosphere pervading the school at

send their children to the Catholic schools

Lord Byron's Centenary.

The hundredth anniversary OF the birth Of
ROBERT BURNS was impressively commomo-
rated throughout the English-speaking
world. The centenary Of WALTER SCOTT
WAS also celebrated on both sides OF the At
lsgtic. On the other hand, but little notice
seems likely to be taken Of the birthday of a
man incomparably greater than BURNS or
6ooTT In the eyes Of his contemporaries, and
always accounted by foreign nations, II not
by Englishmcn, one OF the very greatest
posts that his country has produced.
The evil destiny that made BYRoN's OK
istence IN agony followed him beyond the
grave. The author OF "Childe Harold" sac
rifced his life to liberats the Isles Of Greece
that he had sung, yet the double aureole OF
herolsm and OF genius could not in his native
land propItiate the public opinion which he
had outraged and estranged. His body was
denied the homage Of intsrment In West
minister Abbey. and it Is doubtful whether
any public honors will be paid to his memory
today by tho heirs OF a language that he did
90 much to Glorify.
BYRON foresaw the stress OF posthumous
depreciation and neglect that he would nave
to suffer. But no also believed that admira-
ton would In the end out-tongue detraction.
and that his fame was a imperishable as
tina English speech In which all that was
hest and brightest OF him was embalmed.

It is true enough that for nearly half o
century after BYRoN's death there seemed
to be o deliberate and concerted purpose. one
might almost say conspiracy, to bar his name
at all events out OF the Utmost shrine Of Eng

The Man who Looks Like Hayes.

We learn from the Chicago Mail that there
Is a gentleman in Chicago who bears 80
striking a resemblance to Mr.. RUTHERFORD
B. HAYE OF Fremont. Ohio, that he is fire.
quently mistaken for that wretched survival.
This gentleman Is, we presume, n worthy
and respectable citizen, and an ornament
and honor to the community In which he
dwells. He Is Innocent Of any crime against
FREQ government. He has never been tho
beneficiary Of an electoral fraud. Yet, all the
Same, ho has to bear the awful burden OF o
chance resemblance for which he Is In no
way to blame. He annot shirk 1t, he cannot
escape 1t. As long as HAYES lives and
he lives also. he must be the continual object
Of unjust suspicion, unwarranted aversion,
misplaced hatred and contempt.
Why, according to the Mail, 1t was only a
short time ago that the Man who Looks Like
HAYES attended as a guest a dinner OF the
Thirteen Club OF that city. The organization.
weinfcr from the name. Is especially designed
to combat unreasonable prejudices, and to
discredit sinister omens. II the Man who
Looks Like HAYES can ever, or anywhere,
be comfortable and consider himself as on
safe ground, socially and ps~ychoiogically, a
meeting OF a Thirteen Club ought to furnish
the time and place for momentary relief from
| the terrible strain.
Yet the presence at the table Of this unfor-
tunate and innocent person was no sooner
observed by the regular members Of the
club than they began to y him with
Rlances plainly denoting hostility and dis
like. Silence fell upon the party. At last a
member arose and remarked that q certain
person was present at tho table who was
Objectionable on various grounds, and that
1t was hoped no would leave the room at
once. The poor unfortunate said never o
word. Frequent experiences Of the sort have
taught him al outward appearance Of dumb
resignation, almost akin to apathy.
Then the Marshal Of the Thirteen Club
seized the Man who Looks Like HAYES by
the arm and led him toward the door, saying:
II guess you are the a Your name Is
RUrHERFoRD b. HAYES, and this isn't the
first time you've been caught where you
didn't belong" Somebody explained that
this was not r. B. HAYES, but only R. B.
HAYES's double, and the victim was not
| elected from the room. The violence, how
| ever, had been done. 1t Is moral, not physical,
injury that he suffers. Another stripe from
the lash Of unjust fate had sunk deep into
his tortured soul.
What will be the result Insanity and
suicide. or merely flight from the sight Of
men and self-appointed exile in some vast
solitude where no human being can ever
mistake him for B.. B. HAYEs2 The prob
lem has q melancholy fascination for the
psychological rorlancer. The situation is
one for ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON.
Next to being RUTHERFORD b. HAYES In
fact. what more frightful lot can be
imagined for an American citizen than to
resemble RUTHERFORD B. HAYES In personal
appearance?

The New York Wood Yard ASS

The Now York Wood Yard Association,
which puts all the men who apply to 1t for
relief to the severe practical test OF saving
and splitting wood. has had on tho average
since Nov. / twenty-five men a day welding
the saw and axe. There can be no doubt that
a man who ia willing to saw wood in consid-
Grafton OF food or money is either Industrious
or fond OF exercise. In fact, saving wood
might be taken rs the best test of a mans will
lingness to work. Thousands of mon. IL the
test were to DO made universal, would rebel
after the first two or three sticks.

Conrads, Medoras became synonymes
for mock sentimentality and meretricious
art; Don Juan, the richest storehouse Of
wit that exists In any language, was tabooed
as a medley OF obscenity and blasphemy;
even the deathless fourth canto of Childe
Harold was complacently described a. only
the sublimity Of the commonplace-the tr1te
thoughts and tame emotions Of the Philis-
tine raised. to use al algebraio similc. to
the tenth power.
But within the last twenty-five years a re-
action has set In. Once more has time justi-
fed the %soundness OF the dictum that In the
suffrages OF foreign nations We may see pre-
figured the verdict Of our own posterity. Tho
Judgment Of GOETHE, echoed by every voice
OF authority in France, Germany, and Italy,
has at last been accepted frankly and irrev-
ocably In England as well. From Mr.. MAT
THEW ARNOLD, who Is the sanest OF English
critics, to Mr.. SwINBURNE, who Is the most
dithyrambic, there Is now an almost
absolute consensus that in the galaxy OF
England's poets-with the exception Of
SHAKESPEARE and MILToN-BYRoN Is the
brightest star that from the point Of view OF
genius and It's creations, Sparta hath few
sons "worthier than he" 1t has also been
recognized that. compared with tho prolu-
sions Of some modern agnostio bards, such
works as Gain" and Don Juan" are not
particularly irreligious or indecent.
So that to BYRON, as to every man entirely
great In any direction. his hour has como at
last, and. though for q time shut out from
the full measure OF fame which wa his due.
he has now entered on his right inheritance
of honor. 1t matters not whether his oen-
tenary Is signalized by outward ~observances
Of conventional homage; the millions Of hu-
man beings to whom his verso is a precious
possession and unfading Joy. will gratefully
remember the day when he was born.
