a MAN OF LITERATURE AND POLL
TICS

James Russell Lowell is dead This
removes not only the poet, the critic and
the politician, but as an aggregation of
those three spirits away the being of a
unique character. If it is yours to be a
politician, the treadmill of years, the
gin-horse furrow of practice and pro-
crustean eXaction of custom has taught
you long since that the politician has a
scare-crOw truth-that the Wanted god
dess of Verify you preach about IN ex-
plotted periods has sticks for arms, poles
for legs and cabbage for head-in
fact, is only poor disguise for Truth.
You may not tell this to any man, but if
you have spark of conscience III you,
YOU have said it to yourself.
If it has been yours to be literary
man, you know today that the influence
that turned your career that way was
the spirit of truth the subservance of
right has guided you on, and the conf
dence of sincerity has upheld you,
throughout. Literature, real literature,
has no heart, other than truth; it has no
strong arm to combat fraud, vice, and
injustice, but the arm of truth; it has no
mind to set up new standards and wipe
out antiquated forms that have served
their epochs. but the inherent faculty of
the truth.
1t hates demagogy, with which poll
tics is rife; and politics avoids literature,
when it cannot pervert it. Yet in James
Russell Lowell, is found these combative
elements. The search into the secret of
this combination in one man of inter
national repute is that Lowell made his
politics his patriotism. The boundaries
of his country reached farther than his
front gate; and his anXieties covered
more than his own hearthstone. His
convictions were convictions of mind
and not partisan distortions. His liter
airy instincts predominated. 1t is not
Just to surmise what would have been
the effect had he given all his time to
politics. 1t was the effort Of his char
acter that avoided this.
His was the true citizenship. For as
soon as the American people can elect
man to office who will serve his I'M
known, nameless, farthingle8s con
stituent as zealously as he does himself,
the United States of America will be at
the vestibule of Utopia

Morbid Wlnkins by Miners.

DIR. Smell persists in his opinion that
there is no reason for supposIug that nys-
tsgmus or the nervous disease which man
ifests itself in a morbid winking OF the eye,
so common among miners, is attributable
10 working by the imperfect ligh: Of the
safety lamp. The fact that the complaint
is found among the workers With naked
lights is in itself sufficient to throw doubt
upon the long prevalent theory.
The government inspector Of mines for
the midland district notes, on DR.. Stokes
authority, the case Of a man who, after
working with the Davy lamp for fourteen
years without injury, proceeded 70 work At
pit where candles were used. He bad
been employed there for three and one-haif
years. and during the last twelve months
he experienced symptoms Of nystagnus,
and had ultimately 70 leave work and seek

Mammoth Birds and ReptIIe..

Ages ago there were bird reptiles and
reptiian birds. Some had wings for flying
with a spread of twenty-five feet-veritabie
dragons, in Fact Others, forty feet in
length, had paddles for swimming like
whales. These latter lived in the seas.
though occasionally they came on shore.
1t is known from their petrifed droppings.
which are plentifully found to-day, that
they lived upon fish. One species Owed 70
great depths in the ocean and was most
rapacious and predatory. It had enormous
eyes to see with in deep water. its head re
sembling an alligator's. Another kind
with a very long neck inhabited the shoals
and proved upon the fishes Of the shadows.
The first serpents. too. belonged IN the
sea, and grew 70 be forty feet long. They
had no poison, but were constructors, like
the boa There were many kinds Of croco-
dies fifty feet from snout 70 tail, whereas
the biggest ones now are not more than
fifteen feet. During the same period lived
the birds with teeth, which were only dis
covered a few years ago. Biggest Of these
was the hesperornis, which stood six feet
high and had only rudimentary wings.
IL did not fly, therefore, but was simply a
swimmer and diver, subsigting on fish

fowl were wiped out by the giant swim

"CitOYenneS."

Looked at from the distance of century,
the fury of the French people, at the epoch
of the Revolution, against all titles of
honor and other distinctions seems anus
ing; but the matter was then far from
being something 10 be laughed at.
All titles were abolished save those of
citoyen or citizen for men, and cheyenne or
''citizeness" for women. So determined
were the radical opponents Of aristocracy
that it cost more than one man his life to
speak of another person by his former title
1t was not Louis XVI who was condemned
TO the guillotine, but Louis Capet." Yet
even in those troublous times there were
occasions when laugh at the political alb
surdities into which the people ran was not
only in order, but could not be repressed
During the awful years between 1889 and
1901 the Partisan people required to be en-
tertained, and much excellent music was
produced. On one occasion, when a must
cal programme was given before a great
audience, one of the singers, a woman, was
taken i'll and her place had TO be supplied
by another singer. The manager of the
entertainments stepped forward TO announce
the change. He began:

SENATOR SHERMAN ON THE SUB
TREASURY SCHEME.

The campaign in some Ohio coundies
is beginning TO warm up now that all
four political parties have nominated
state tickets. The Peoples party is the
only party that has as yet put up any
speakers on the stump. Their speeches
as we'll as their campaign literature are
full of mistatements. They say the gov
eminent loans bankers money at and 2
per cent, and say it ought to loan farm
ers money at the same rate. 1t seems from
the following letter, received Monday by
the editor of the Washington Republican
from Senator John Sherman, that Sher-
man has heard of no such loans by the
government. Writing from Mansfield,
o., August g. he says:
81 know of no instance where money
has been loaned by the government to
the banks at the rate of or 9 per cent,
or any other rate. If any such loan
was ever made it was without authority
of law. 1t is true that under the national
banking act bank may be made the de-
pository of public money received from
internal revenue and public lands. but
not from customs duties. This is done,
not for the benefit of the banks, but Olely
for the convenience of the people and
the security of the government. In
such cases the bank has to give security
in United States bonds equal to the
amount of deposits, and the money may
be drawn by the government on call. 1t
Is also true that during President Cleve
lands administration, at a time when
there was real of supposed stringency,
the then secretary of the treasury de-
posted in national banks large amount
of public money other than that derived
from customs with a view to relieving
the stringency. l believed and pro-
claimed at the time that this was nei-
Their authorized by law nor was it good
policy. The money should have been
promptly used in the purchase or pay
ment of the public debt No such de-
post was made by a Republican admin
istration, and the money so deposited
was Withdrawn as rapidly as was pru-
dent. l know of no case in the history
Of our government where money has
been loaned to individuals in this re-
spect. The proposition to loan money
to farmers at per cent is entirely novel
and without precedent. Very truly
yours, JOHN SHERMAN"

effected with Texas fevor or that have
been exposed TO it. The order was issued
because of the prevalence of the disease

because OF the presidents order for the
removal Of all cattle from the strip. 1t
is also stated that in view of Governor
Steele's order, all the strip cattle viii
have to be removed into or through
