Those Kansas farmers who want a
special session of Congress and a law
authorizing the Treasury to loan
money to the people at low interest,
repayment to be made on the INSTALL
ment plan, are really not half so crazy

In the first place the idea has been

Besides, are these Kansas farmers

has given open encouragement to all
such schemes. What with pensions to
alleged veterans who lost legs or arms

walt whItman,s Fa me.

The New York sun has recently
printed an extraordinary story to the
effect that Walt Whitman's fame as a
poet grew ont of an absurd literary
hoax. The story originates in the
American edition of The Maclise
Portrait Gallery and is told as fol-
lows
An eminent Iittsrateur. Mr.. W. NJ. Rossetti.
laid q cunning plot to test the gnllibihty OF the
public in matters OF taste and criticism he aug
up an American "poat" who had never written
poetry 10 his life, and in all he had written was
bombastic. coarse. conceited aud irrelevant, or
generally meaningless.
CYSTIC preface, and engaged some really
clever feiows-Prof Dowden. A. G. Swim
burne. Robert Buchanan. &c-to aid the
scheme BY nnstinted and indiseriminate lauda,
fion. The bait took. Men who had never read
Washington Irving or Whittier echoed the
cuckoo cry. and ''Walt Whitman" was the
nOblest transatlantic tone" yet heard.
Professor Bayne, ia an able article in the Con-
Temporary Reuieg december, is7D. pretty well
shock the bean out Of the puppet poet but
him on. and ike a spent ball he may yet roll
on ianguidly for a time.
Setting aside the question as to
whether the whole English-speaking
world could be thus gulled, the story
is monstrously impossible on account
OF the character of Ro setti. That
eminent man was absolutely incapable
Of perpetrating a hoax on the world
Of literature or art. Sincerity and
earnestness were as much his personal
characteristics as they were the shib-
boleths of tine school with which he
was associated. He was neither a
humorist nor a literary experimental
list. He was a worshipper of beauty
and inspiration wherever he found
them, and the ~vulgarity and bad faith
of the act attributed to him would
have seemed in his eyes the ultimate
abomination OF Phillistinism.
Besides the concurrent judgments
as to Walt Whitman's genius are not
fairly stated. The jackenapes, Swim
burne, might, perhaps, be a party to a
hoax, though, indeed, it is not much
in his line; but it must not be forgot
ten that Tennyson is M ofthe warm
est admirers of the Camden sage, and,
if we are not mistaken, it was he who
spoke of Whitman as Americas sweet
est voice.
Nobody has been more abused by
the critics at home and abroad than
Walt Whitman. There is not a STAN
dard review in existence which has
not picked the flesh off his bones with
red hot pincers. Poor old Blackwood
fairly had spasms over the Leaves of
Grass when it first appeared. But, in
spite of all. the fame of the poet has
broadened and his influence has in
tensified as years have rolled on. He
will never be the founder of a school,
but as a clear, truthful voice, as a sim
cere exponent of nature, as an anti
dote to sham, to phariseeism and phil
listinism he is one of the great teach
ers OF the age.
