fort 90 with greater speed, here's to the next
record breakerl
We find In the Hartford Cbardnt, n Repub-
lican journal In whose ownership and manage
mont Gen. JOSEPH r. HAwLBY, one OF the Sen
| ators In Congress from Connecticut, is assocl.
ated an editorial article which should be
profitable for reproof and Righteousness to q
good many Republican editors at this time:
JuSt aferthe war the late President wooLsEr-etarun
d uencdbik nomen gave room full Of Yale seniors
talk about the Constitution OF their country which
ono who was there will ever forget His manner,
always earnest and impressive took positive solem
nifty as he explained tho two forces work In the
| TEN, the contripeth and tho centrltuRal the
! place and function OF each. tho necessity for
both, and the peril Of allowing either to free
| itself from the check and countorpolsc OF the
other Keep the general Government OF the conStitu.
tona domain OF the states keep the States OF the con.
stitutiona domain OF tho general Governmenti-ths
was the burden OF DR. WooLRTs lecture In past years.
ho said had been the duty OF Intelligent patriotism
resist tho attacks OF extreme theory of State sovsr
eighty upon the constitutional authority OF the generAi
Government The war had changed all that IL al set
the pendulum swinging toward the opposite extreme
In the coming yosrsit would bo the duty of intelligent
patriots to resist the tendency to oxa extend the
authority OF the general at tho expense Of
the constitutional rights of the state President Wool
sEY's repubicanism was OF sterling quality his
scholarship"
President WooLsEYs doctrine was ard is
sound doctrine. but 1t 10 not sterling Republi-
canism. 1t shows. In fact, that he was Demo-
crat without knowing It bringing the general
Government into the constitutional domain OF
the States is the burden OF contemporary Re-
publicanism.
THEODORE DWIGHT WooLsEY would have op-
posed sternly the Bayonet bill. We wonder IL
this editorial article In the Courant Is not an in
dication hat Gen. HAwLEY will oppose that bill.
The testimony this summer as to the fail
ure OF our young men to be gallant or even be
at the seaside resorts comes too thick not to
receive comprehensive notice. From spots
whore the atmosphere once chucklod with the
sweet chickering's OF small talk. are heard only
feminine solilo1uies lamenting eolitude
Rocks which all along the coast used to hear
nothing but summer declarations and tho
preliminary converse thereto, now listen solely
to tie one-keyed wall OF deserted womanhood.
For example. the SAD ANDRoMEDA OF our es-
teemed contemporary Life, sings thus pathet-
ically In behalf Of her sex:
I'VE sit in groups upon the beach.
FUZZY mass OF summer dresseA
We break In little waves of speech
We give each other quick oaresses;
But though our laughter echoes gay,
" s.-AAc-s the crowds persistent humminR
Our thoughts are very far away.
We wonder whom tho mon coming
"oh, careless youth. in flannel clad,
Why waste this golden. perfect " eatherf
Let every lass!o and her lad
Go roaming o or the rocks together
For youth Is brief and time flies fast,
And waits for mono; the more's tho pity,
The summer time will soon be past
And autumn drive us to tho city"
The nymph who adopts Minsey's Weekly as
her organ chants her loneliness in less original
meas ure. but to the same effect
Break. break break,
On thy cold gray stones o sea
But oh for the presence Of Just one man
To come and make love to me!
"And we'll for every one
For every ono but
Oh. to be anywhere under the sun,
Except by tho tiresome seal
"Break. break. break.
On thy cold gray stone1 seal
ia give my fortune for Just ono man
To come and make lovo to me"
In the Yankee Bidie more analytical |
but mono the less rebelous spinster puts the |
prevailing thoughts and situation Of her COL |
leagues into verses In which the high poetic |
faculty doesn't In the slightest degree soften |
the hard practical sense with which this un-
wonted fact Is considered
- The Atlantic ocean s a tolerAbo ocean,
Perhaps desirable sea,
And the waves on the beach are good enough waves
But not good enough waves for me.
And tho sky above 10 pretty fair sky;
The surf there arc many to land,
But there's no man In sight from morning to night
And think the whole thing Is q fraud
For the waves u they curl
With their swish and their swirl.
Without young man are a bore to girl.
/" The Atlantic Ocean is a popular ocean
With people fond of the sea-
But the sea without men is dull kind Of thing
And It's no kind Of ocean for mo.
They rave DER the glow Of the sunset sea
And the moon with Its lane OF light
But in the broad day or beneath the moons ray
There's never a man In sight
And the sun and tho shade
And tho noon I'm afraid,
without young q bore to q maid.
The Atlantic Ocean ia good enough ocean,
pretty wei! advertised sea;
But without the young and all sort Of thing
Its no Kind Of ocean for
know that tho poets have sung OF the sea
As oft silly poets will sing:
But bare stretch Of beach and man within reach
Is very luRubrious thing
And the summer hotel
And tho surf and the swell
without young man bore to a bella"
In all our experience We can recall no such |
'lalnts from our coasts nor any such class
u poems: involving as they do question OF
