A FErULANr DIPLOMAT.

Lord Cranbrook has published in the
London Times q private letter written TO
him in ISL by James Russell Lowell, then
our minister TO England. Among other
things Mr.. Lowell writes: "My head is
humming with the three P's--piscatory
rights. pigs and Paddy. But / like to
keep my word, and so to distract my mind
from the irritation of the fieas aforesaid l
compelled it into your service in hammer
ing out the verses written opposite"
By piscatory rights Mr.. Lowell meant
the questions arising out of the outrage on
American fisherman in Fortune bay, and
the consequent dispute as to the interpre-
tation of the fishery clause of the Wash
ington treaty. By "pigs" Mr.. Lowell re-
ferred to the unjust exclusion of American
pork from the European markets. mat
ter that involved the commercial interests
of thousands of Americans TO the extent
annually of many millions of dollars. By
paddy" which is the third IRRITATING
flea" that prevented Mr.. Lowell from
easily making rhymes for Lord Gran
brooks autograph album, Mr.. Lowell
meant to refer to the arbitrary arrest of
and imprisonment of certain persons of
Irish birth but claiming the protection of
our government as American citizens.
The only interest that Mr.. Lowell took
in the wrongs of these Irish-Americans
was to make them subject of Jest with
an English Tory aristocrat. This indis-
Greet and hippant reference to
nfH nTa of An II
est possible importance is a
fresh illustration of the fact that a
man may be fine scholar and a man of
high poetic genius and yet be wanting in
good sense and diplomatic prudence, A
foreign minister who could write so con-
temptuously of his grave duties was not fit
for his position, and had this letter been
presented while he was still Minister to
Great Britain it would have probably oc-
casioned his recall, but Lord Cranbrook
kept his secret and Mr.. Lowell came home
and lived long enough to write such sorry
poetry as the following concerning Grover
Cleveland:
We, who look on with critic eyes,
Exempt from actions crucial test,
Human ourselves, at least are wise
In hOnoring one who did his best.
A poet, who could rise to the lofty fight
of the "Commemoration Ode" with its
splendid lines on Lincoln, who "did his
best" when Cleveland was doing his worst
to make Lincoln's best a failure, stopped to
fly very low when he selected the Demo-
cratic political woodchuck as the theme of
! a serious panegyric.
And yet this weakness is perhaps char
acteristic of genius, for Frederick the
| Great and Louis the Fourteenth both
wrote wretched poetry; Marlborough and
Bacon took brides; Napoleon habitually
| told lies and turned pale at the sight of a
spider; and Nathaniel Hawthorne outdid
Lowell by writing a fiattering campaign
| life of Franklin Pierce. 1t is pity that
| genius cannot always see the truth and
tell it as frankly as Boileau did when he
said to Louis the Fourteenth: "Your
majesty can do anything you wish; you
wished to make some very bad verses and
your majesty has succeeded perfectly"

BETw ZEN THE GATES.

wHITriER's LATEST POEM.
Between the gates of birth and death
An old and sanity pilgrim passed,
With look OF one who witnessetn
The long sought goal ut last
80 thou whose reverent feet have found
The Masters footsteps in thy way,
And walked thereon Us holy ground,
A boon of thee pray.
s'Mv lack would borrow Thy excess,
My feeble faith the strength OF thine;
need tiny souls white saiutliness
To hide the stains OF mine.
"The grace and favor else denied
May well be granted for thy sake.
So, tempted, doubling, sorely tried,
younger pilgrim spake.
"Thy prayer, my son, transceDds my git;
No power is mine the sage replied,
"The burden of q soul 10 lift,
Or stain OF sin to hide.
"Howe'er the outward life may seem,
For pardoning grace we all must pray;
No man his brother can redeem
Or souls ransom pay.
Not always age Is growth of good;
It's years have losses with their gain;
Against some evil youth wIthstood
Its hands may strive In vain.
With deeper voice than any speech
OF mortal lips from man to man,
What earth's unwisdom may not teach
The Spirit only can.
SNAKE thou that holy Guide thine own,
And, following where it leads the way,
The known shall lapse in the unknown
As twilight into day.
"The best of earth shall still remain,
And Heavens eternal years shall prove
That life and death, and JOY and pain
Are ministers OF Love"
John Greenledf Whittier.

The Worlds Gold.


Tie Bank of En&iand, which is, the
great depository Of bullion in the realm,
says Macmillian's Magazine, holds at or
dinary times in its vaults $l25, 100000
The bank of Germany hollis $500, ,0O0,-
600 Of bullion in gold and silver
The Bank of France usually holds
$475, 100000.
The United States holds in the Treas
ury and in the various National banks
somewhere about 100000 900 in gold
aud silver.
The increasing wealth of the varops
nations is somewhat remarkable
During the last ten years the Bank Of
France has more than doubled its re-
serves. The Bank of Germany in 1881
held about $40, 600 in 1889 it held
$lSG,0o0, 000
In June, 1876, the amount of gold coin
and bullion in the United States treas

Free Coinage.

1t is almost certain that the congress
which conyenes nexf month will pass q
free coinage bill, pntting silver where it
rightly belongs, on parity with gold.
AS the President is known to oppose
this measure, the impression generally
prevails that he will veto any free coin
age measure, but the following express
ion from the President, quoted from the
New York Tribune, would indicate that
he will approve the bill:
Il often sign bills passed by congress
for which | would not have voted if in
Congress. I hold that it is not sufficient
for President to be opposed to meas
ure to venture to interpose his veto. |
believe that the veto power is only prop
erly exercised when some act has been
passed by congress- without sufficient de-
Liberation or care, or where some man
ifest error has been committed. | know
that different view has prevailed at
times, and that the vetoes have mnlti-
piled within recent years. But do not
see now the President has any right to
set up his judgment against the mani
fest will of congress when that will has
been expressed in thoroughly delibe-
ratiye manner, after careful considera-
ton of the subject, and when no mani
fest error or encroachment upon consti 4
tutional rights has been made"
If the bill be passed it will certainly
be the manifest will of congress- and
a bill which has passed in former sem
ate and has been discussed in at least
two former sessions OF congress, must
certainly have been considered in a !
thoroughly deliberative manner, after
careful consideration of the snbject.n
The President will not veto The bill.

The District Court adjourned last
week without the grand jury having
made anything more out of the Christ
man murder case han if it had been an
affair of no importance. We do not
know where the censure properly be-
longs, but certain it is that the court Of
6cers and good many people in the
community might have done more
toward ferreting out the perpetrator of
a cowardly crime. A quiet, dilligent
and inofensive night watchman, in
small and peacable town, was killed at
an early hour on the morning of July
29th and every circumstance points to
the conclusion that it was cowardly
assassination. Five pistol shots were
heard in quick succession from the To-
callty where the dead body of Chris
man was afterwards found, AID many
people, sleeping in the neighborhood,
heard the shots, one of them even testi-
flying before the coroner's jury shat he
saw the flash from his window. All
these facts were brought out with suf-
6cient cearness before the coroner's
jury, and other circumstances brought
out, which justified the coroner in cans
ing warrant to be issued for The arrest
of Albert Myers upon suspicion. An ex-
amining court, before which the accused
was ably defended, held Myers for the
grand jury. Three months later the
case came up for inquiry before grand
jury and, to one on the outside, it looks
as if they merely threshed over part
of the old straws, by reading The testi-
mony taken before the coroner and ex-
amining court, and then dropped the
matter. The majority of the better Cit
izens of the county will certainly depre-
cate and deplore sach lax invvstiga- |
tion All good citizens should deplore
it. Time and public money expended to
punish assassins is time and money well /
spent. Such deeds as this committed /
and the assassin permitted to go free, /
with no other punishment than the I
L knowledge that he rests under sus oicion
and carrying the weight Of his own
guilty conscience, leaves stain upon
the good name of any community which
time will never eface.
We, ofthe newer western states, are
often uDjustly accused of being more
awless, than the people of the older
states. We can only live down such
Unjust accusations by vigilanily ferret
ng out offenders of the law. Such lax
ty of effort as has been shown in this
affair, fixes the stigma upon US with a
show of our deserving it.

saying Hip, hip, hurrahu' to celebrate

mill machinery and the mill started up
again, after less than twenty four hours
shut down, with entirely new power to
drive it. The two smaller engines,
which had to be run with quick motion,
are now retired and the new Corliss now
does the same work, and will soon do
nearly double as much, with lazy mo-
ton that seems no effort at all. 1t

side it with his eyes closed could scarce

engines are being removed and the
space they have occupied will be filled
with additional pans and settlers.
