Even the mountains appear TO smile with
satisfaction. In all the scenery ever read
about in guide books and letters of travel
it was the valleys that smiled. Here the
valley sleeps, and grows beautiful and
takes on the color Of health and the digni-
ty of repose; it is the mountain that SMILES,
with a wide, green grin and radiant,
verdant brow-probably from delight in
the scene which its good fortune enables it
to behold through all eternity. Tho
mountain which has pushed itself nearest
the little gem Lakeland I think that is
what Wononscopomoc means-is an abrupt
and interesting knob of the Taconics.
Some one has said they should be called
the Laconics, because they have SO little
to say.
Probably they think silence their best
part, for the visitor who climbs to the top
of this knob talks enough for all concerned
He goes into ecstasies of rapture and an
orgie of exclamation points over the beauty
Of thescene spread out before him. The
lake, with its near by but diminutive
neighbor, Wono1pakook, the darkly wood
ed Shores the long slopes covered with
forests, titled fields, snug farmhouses and
winding roads, the rolling hills Of Berk-
shire and Ltchfleld counties. aud far away
in hazy perspective, out easily discern
ible, the Harlem valley and the Hudson.
At the foot of tho hill nestles the villassof
Lakeville, with its spires and mills-not
enough OF the latter to mar the scene with
much suggestion of mammon-and little
distance away down the valley the wide,
straight street Of quaint old Salisbury.
This panorama Of nature is not grand
It is simply beautiful, quiet. pleasing, sat
laying. The enjoyment Of scenery de-
ponds largely upon the person, for, as DR..
Holmes says, "One need not go to Berk-
shire unless hs has mountains in his head,
nor to Nahsnt unless he has an ocean in
his soul. Nature plays atdominoes with
man. You must matoh her piece for piece"
It,is true, also, that to some proeatc minds
there Is nothing In the world where there
are not people, hustle, commerce, plenty Of
money, devils. To than the lake, the for
est, the glen, are SO much waste. They
have no oceans in their souls. no mountains
in their heads.
The theory that environments Of natural
beauty arc necessary TO the growth of poets
must be In part true, for Bryant came
from this region, besides poets of lesser
fame; and it YVES q comDoaplace looking
native rho recalled to me, as we talked Of
the hack of soal for scenery in some people,
that when Miliet painted ''Ths Angelus"
he didn't know and NO enc knew that he
had great picture till one day an litter
ate man with soul in him came along,
saw the painting and exclaimed: my
Godl the Angelusl / can bear the bella"
Aud then Miliet knew he had great
picture, and the world has since accepted
it as a masterpiece.

A PoLITlcAl RLuNnER.

Democrats can afford to view the locai
political situation with philosophic
calmness.
This Police Commission pRrtisanship is
e Republican blunder. Time will demon
strate that, as time demonstrated that
Reeds partisan ruling in Congress was a
mistake. View it as one may. no party
can afford to be unjust or unfair, as no
merchant can afford to be dishonest.
Some merchants seem TO obtain riches,
seem to be successful by course Of
swindling and cheating, but the appear
ances are deceitful. They cannot sue
ceed.
IL is precisely the same In politics.
Quay seems to succeed, but Lincoln did
succeed. Foraker has certain sort Of
temporary, ignoble success, but Carlisle
has success.
The possession of an official place that
one has not the sense, the discretion,
the justice on the fairness to fill will not
benefit Jester and the Republican party,
or Wiley and the Republican party,
any more than 1t would crafty a blind
man TO put his sightless orbs to the peri.
patetic telescope st the corner Of Market
and Fourth streets.
Sensible and impartial men will not
endorse the sctlon of Mayor Wiley In
making the police force partisan and In
putting unfit men on 1t. Sensible and
impartial men cannot do otherwise than
hold Mr.. Jester In contempt
When the heat Of the contest subsidies
these men viewing the situation calmly
will condemn the action Of the Police
Commission. Free Americans love
justice and fairness in politics as the
boys love them in dog fight
or a base ball game. This princi ole
of fair play is so we'll instilled
In the minds Of Americans that the
division Of the police 30 as to give
FIVE places to Democrats and suggest the
position of dog catcher for "over

hurt the Democrats as bad as Ii will

Wiley is not different from any of these
smsll-idead, selfish and microscopic
politicians In any other respect than that
Of smaller territory His aims and
small ambitions are equally vulgar and
equally false. He is outraging justice,
fairness and good sense as they outraged
fairness, justice and good sense in a
larger way. he will meet defeat
as they met disaster. Mr.. Wiley Is an
educated and moral man under the
tremendous pressure Of political zeal
The cases cited above differ from him.
Quay is not educated nor moral; Foraker
is educated but not moral; Malone is
neither educated nor moral; he is simply
political roustabout. Mayor Wiley
will meet with no better success than
any of his predecessors met.

NEWSPAPER OPINION

The Ball Fight aud the Prize Fight.
San Francisco Bulletin.
In California bull ighing was kept M
on q small scale for some time after the
American acquisition. That was so long
ago that few remember we evsr had such
an institution" But right here in,San
Francisco another brutal form Of amuse-
meat has secured some unaccountable
recognition. The prize-rIng contest Is not
whit more elevating than the hull fight.
By some sort Of jugglery, athletic clubs
which are only such in name, have been
allowed to institute this brutal sport.
and to gamble upon the Issue. Every
p~'ze ring in this city has been the centre
Of the mesnest kind of gambling. At the
most recent of these brutal exhibitions a
white man and negro from Australia
Illustrated the progress OF civilization and
morals In this city by pounding and
mauling each other. 1t was reported
that more than hundred thousand dol
lars were stsked on the issue There
was great disappointment among the
fancy because it was not as bloody a
time as had been expected. The money
staked did not change hands. In short
the brutal instincts were not gratifed to
the extent that had been anticipated
Mexico sbolishes the bull fight as an evi-
dence of advancing civilization. 1t lost its
place long ago In California. Now let
the prize fight so. There must be q defest
ia the civilization Of a community that
{ e -.es such exhibitions Of brutality.

His Career ENDED.


New York Herald
Inspector Byrnes looked out of bis win
dow on funeral procession yesterday.
Nothing worthy of note in that2 Yet
there was, at least Byrnes thought so,
for the man who was taking his last ride
had given him good deal Of trouble, and
1t is barely possible that he wasn't over
sorrowful at what he saw. Tne career
of George Faeth was at an end He was
on his way TO little nook in the grave
yard, leaving behind him the memory OF
deeds which taxed the skill OF our best
detectives Faeth was one of the shrewd-
est burglars Of his time. He used to
boast that no man ever made safe which
he couldn't crack. He was a genius in
the art of robbery, had studied its ins
and outs for years. was ready TO take all
sorts of risks, could have earned hand
some income by honest toll, but preferred
to pursue burglary as a trade. His life
was dramatic and full of hair breadth
escapes. BE loved his Jimmy" and had
not only pried open many warehouse
door but also the prison door ia conse
quence. If society had been turned up
side down and rascaiity accounted virtue
F1eth would have had bronze statue In
Central Park. But there is widespread
prejudice against ssoupdrels, and grim
death has borne him to the obscurity
which his cowardly life had fairly won
for him. SO Byrnss looked through
the window and experienced a sense of
relief as the slow procession passed out
of sight.

idea that Republicans should be treated
fairly in political matters have an object
lesson in the behavior Of the Police Com
mission in distributing the appointments
on the police force on the Republican idea
of fairness The commission was appointed
to ensure partisan police force.
The police force has been made more
partisan than before However this may
agree with the engagements aud agree

Washington Post.
The people OF this country of ell classes
are practically agreed In their opposition
to the importation of criminal and pauper
Europeon laborers, and they are in
thorough accord with knights of Labor
and the members OF other like organiza-
tions in insisting that the importation
and employment Of such labor as tends
TO degrade the condition OF our working
classes should be rigidly prohibited. A
singular misapplication Of this generally
accepted principal is shown In the protest
made week or two ago by the laborine
men Of Norfolk, Neb !, against the employ

at Genoa In the cultivation OF the fields
In the state devoted to the growth Of the

Not Hope. nut Fenr.

Philadelphia Herald.
The labored efforts Of the Republicans
to create the impression that the nomina
tion of Major Mckinley as the candidate
for Governor Of Ohio has had an inspirit-
ing effect on the organization Is amusing.
The convention which nominated Mr.
Mckinley was controlled by the enemies
OF Senator Sherman. and the main pur-
pose Of delegates was not to nominate
Mckinley or any other man, bat to hu-
initiate Sherman. With such purpose
plainly In view 1t is not within reason
that the work of convention could have
good effect on the moral party More
than any other man In Ohio, Senator
Sherman has the confidence OF the Re
publlcans and the studied purpose to
insult and disgrace him will be resented
In all parts OF the State Even the can
didate is not certain TO escape the blows
OF the indignant Sherman followers
Major Mckinley represents the high
tariff notions Of the Republican party as
exemplihed In the Revenue bill which
bears his name, and is expected that the
beneficlaries OF that legal robbery will
contribute literally toward a corrupt ion
fund for his benefit But taft reform
sentiment is making rapid strides In Ohio
and so far from Major McKlnley's nomi-
nation inspiring hope 1t is spreading con
sternation throughout the State.

To the Editor Of the EVENING JOURNAL.
SIR-Please allow me space in your
valuable paper TO express my feelings
regarding the actions Of the recently
appointed Police Commissioner Charles
Jester Everyone knows how he OBJ
tained this position and how he has
proven himself q Judas to those who
were successful in securing It for
him. he has not only deceived
them, but he wilfully lied to friends
who would have staked their lives on his
honor. he certainly is not man ia my
estimation capable Of selecting honorable
men for the police force OF this city,
whore he has outraged all honorable
feeling and destroyed the confidence that
was reposed in him. and II he wants Ia
regain the good name that he once had,
he certainly should resign his commits
