What a comment upon the so-called
enterprise of American capitalists is the
announcement that, owing to the I'M
usually brisk trade between New York
and West Indian ports a considerable
number of large British steamers are
on their way to this country to be used
in carrying freights Again, what can
be thought of the ability of those
American captains of industry" who,
when applied to by the japanese Consul
of New York, in the name of his govern
ment, for estimates of dredging ma
chimes, replied that they were not
prepared to undertake the work, and
that it would consequently serve no
purpose to make the calculations asked
fOr2 Here are opportunities of labor
that our skilled mechanics in the ship
building and machinery lines would
only be too glad to improve. But
because our capitalists are too stupid, or
too timid, or too lazy, or because they
cannot compete with foreigners and
make the same large profits that they
are accustomed to in dealing with our
own people, they reject those opportu-
mites and keep their mechanics in en-
forced idleness. Could the business in
terests of this country be more glar-
ingly mismanaged: Could greater in
competency preside over production and
trade: Is it not high time the people
of this country took their industrie:
into their own hands and employed
themselves?

NOTES..

\ contributor of Commonwealth, a
labor paper published in Port Angeles,
W. T., gives the following definition Of
Socialism;
For the purpose Of this article we
shall define Socialism as that school of
reformers who seek the regeneration of
society by means Of the naturalization
of land and capital; who regard the in
diyidual as the child of the State, and
propose to make the State, through a
system Of otficialism, the guardian of
the individual to the extent Of giving
$50 each according to bis necessity, and
procuring from each in the form of
effort, according to his abilities
The purpose of the article" Is self
evident The "ettect' of it is to show
that the writer knows nothing Of what
he talks SO gIibly about.
Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1889-08-17

"To accuse competition Of causing
wrong is not less silly than to blame
steam or electricity for railroad disas-
ters," observes LIBERTY Is such prop
osition tenable? How would it read
put in this way: ITO accuse war of
causing loss of life and destruction of
property is not less silly than to blame
powder for disastrous explosions?" or,
"To accuse a murderer Of having COM
mitted a crime is not less silly than to
blame a weapon for accidental injuries?'
Is not this absurd on its face? Would it
not be far more appropriate to say: "To
accuse Liberty of talking nonsense is
not less silly than to blame ignorance
for being illogical"

BOWrfng.
At the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. FL.
L. Flash yesterday morning, their daugh-
ter, Clara Lynden, was united in mar
riage to Mr.. Edward Rennie Bowring by
the Rev. Elias Berdsall, pastor of st.
Paul's Episcopal Church. The cere mony
was of a strictly private nature, the only
guests present being Miss Dolsen, MIR.
81. L. Flash Jr.. Mr.. William Bowring,
Mr.. Alex Wilberforce and Prof. Loeb,
who added to the interest of the pro-
ceedings by an exquisite rendition of
MendeIssohn's "Wedding March,"
Mr.. Bowring is to be congratulated on
the charming partner who has chos-
en- to walk the path of life
with him, for, in addition to her
well.deserved title of "belle of
the town." Mrs. Bowring possesses
admirable qualities not only as society
lady, but such as will brighten the
hearth of the domestic circle. She was
born in the old-fashioned city of New
orleans, where Mr.. aud Mrs. Flash were
prominent society leaders previous to
their removal to this town.
Mr.. Bowring, who is native OF st.
Johns, Newfoundland, has long been .
resident of this city, and has established
an unblemished record both as social
and business man. At first engaged in
the real estate business, he some time ego
purchased of Mr.. Maxwell his coal in
,rests, and is now successfully conduct
ing the agency here.
The happy couple left on the noon
train for San Francisco, they having de-
cided to pass their honeymoon at Monte
rey, Santa Barbara and Coronado, after
which they will return to this city and
establish their permanent residence here.

TRUE POETRY DEFINED.
Prof Rice Attempts to Contradict So
PREVAILING Nofions

Prof Rico Attempts to Contradict Some
Prevailing Notions.
Prof. Thomas R. Rice, the head OF
the department of English at Columbia
College, delivered an instructive lect-
ure on ''Shakespeare's Dramatic Con-
struction." A great drama, he said, is
made up of two elements; first, emo.
ton, and second, action. The problem
of dramatic poetry is to convert an
emotion into an action, and in showing
this Prof Rice used 'Othello" as an
example of the perfect English drama
He also gave some useful hints regard
ing the composition of poetry as fol-
lows:
''The true theory OF poetic art, the
poetic movement in all ages and among
all peoples, is the movement of the
human spirit bound in the letters of its
acts. These letters are the rules OF
poetic construction. To affect to be
outside of them is to be essentially I'm.
poetic. TO break the law is to pro.
duce discord and ugliness; to
obey the law is to produce poem. As
the kind of poetry becomes grave and
thoughtful, the laws of poetry become
not only more difficult to understand,
but also more difficult to apply. Ex-
pand the ballad into an epic and even
the genius of Milton stumbles, even the
art of Virgil fails, in applying at all
points the laws of narrative poetry.
Expand the song into an ode and the
world, having brought forth one Pin.
dar, seems unable ever again to appre-
ciate or to apply the highest laws OF
lyric expression. But there is one kind
of poetry that in the strictness, the
goodness, the majestic force of its COM
peling and restraining laws goes even
beyond the epic art of Virgil, even
above the lyric art of Pindar. Ora.
matte poetry as fashioned into sys-
tenn by Sophocles, and, under changed
conditions, perfected by Shakespeare,
reaches its results by obedience to such
laws of form and movement as tax the
mind to the uttermost. To under
stand these laws rightly and to apply
them successfully is feat that has
been accomplished by hardly a half
dozen Of the greatest poets. IN. Y.
Tribune.
Mower County transcript. [volume] (Lansing, Minn.) 1868-1915, 1889-04-17

The ancient sock was kind cf
slipper or low shoe, generally worn on
the stage by the actors of comedy; the
buslin, on the other hand, was a sort
of boot. often very rich and fine, and
of a purple color. worn by the per-
formers of tragedy. It covered not
only the foot, but the midleg. and was
tied underneath the knee. 1t was gem
orally of a quadrangular form, and the
sole was very thick, by which men of
ordinary stature raised themselves to
the elevation of the heroes they repre-
sented. Hence in ancient classic au-
thors we find that tragedy is figura-
lively designated by the buskin, as
comedy is also represented by the
