Goodness" he was of generous catholic
sympathy, and could write as tenderiy
OF Burns as IL the Scotch bard
had been his erring yet best beloved
brother; he comprehended the warmth OF
the Irish heart and wrote "Kathleen,"
which that eloquent Irish LAWYER. James
7. Brady, said made him love Whittier
even when he BRADY was Democras de-
spising the abolitionists and all their
works he had a well of gentle humor; he
relished wit; he was pure, sweet. humane.
gentle, yet courageous and just; at once
q man of emotion and intellect, of feeling
and fine reason, of Unborn shyness and
outward modesty.
The poet of nature, Of legend and hui
man life, probably he has done his best
work as the poet of the devout and relig-
ious spirit of reform. For everything that
promised help and higher life for the peo-
pie Whittier has worked from the glowing
hours of his youth until the last dim day
of glorious old age. The oppressed, the
afflicted, the fallen, the outcast were al
ways Whittier's clients. For them he was
always ready to war with hot invective. or
labor with soft persuasion; he was a man
of feeling, force, moral might and insight.
He was the last survivor Of that
extraordinary band of gifted men
who, in 1885, cast behind them
all the prizes of public life that
their genius and culture could have easily
won and gave themselves no thoughts for
the morrow. for pelf or self until the
negro's ehackles were broken and the
black blot of slavery sponged by Lincoln's
hand from Americas fair cheek. When
Whittier wrote the following lines in
memory of the English philanthropist.
Joseph Surge, he unconsciously drew his
own picture, SO we reprint them now:
Thanks tor the good mans beautiful exam pie,
Who in the vilest saw
Some sacred crypt or altar OF . temple
Still vocal with Gods law;
And heard with tender ear the spirit signing
As from its prison cell,
Praying for pity, like the mournful crying
Or Jonah out OF hell.
His was the golden pens and lips persuasion.
And fine sense of right.
Aud Truths dlrectness, meeting each occasion
straight as line OF light,
His faith and works, like streams that inter-
minge,
In the same channel ran:
The crystal clearness of an eve kept single
shamed all the frauds OF man.
Phe very gentlest of all human natures
He joined 10 courage strong,
And love outreaching unto all Gods creatures
With sturdy hate Of wrong,
Tender as woman; mauliness and meekness
In him were allied
That they who judged him by his strength or
weakness
Saw but single side.
And now he rests: his greatness and his sweet
ness
No more shall seem at strife:
And death has moulded into CAIN completeness
Tho statue of his life.
And round his grave are Quietuie and beauty,
And the sweet heaven above
The fitting symbols OF life of duty
Trsusfgured into lowell

WHY SULLIVAN FELL.

The defeat of Sullivan is due chiefly to
his bad habits. Given the finest physique
of which We have any record in America,
Sullivan has abused his health SO persist
entity for ten years that at "a years Of age
he is completely defeated by a man of 26.
While it is true that a man begins to grow
slowly old at Is, or perhaps %, for the
most perfect agility and most versatile
command Of his muscles, and that, there
fore, Corbett's youth and quIckness gave
him decided advantage over Sullivan, new
ertheIess alcohol is chiefly responsible for
the great slugger's defeat.
Men older than Sullivan. like George
Godfrey and Joe Goss, have made q very
bitter and obstinate tight in the prize ring
against younger men, but Sullivan's bad
habits had greatly impaired his fitness for
the prize ring; when he gave his farewell
exhibition in Brooklyn the Eagle reported
that his corpulency excited great surprise.
aud old pugilists shook their heads and
said that no man but Sullivan could hope
to win in such an obese condition. The
fact that his training had failed to remove
his superfuous flesh was regarded as a bad
sign.
When Sullivan fought Mitchell in
France it was evident that he was begin
ming to break down, and it was only the
scientific training of Muldoon that re-
stored him to fit condition to fight Kill
rain. His victory over Kilrain was not
remarkable, for Kilrain has been beaten
easily since by Corbett. Muldoon has
since refused to undertake the training of
Sullivan, and has expressed the opinion
that Sullivan was but ghost of his former
self so far as muscular agility was con-
cerned.
Alcohol has gradually injured Sullivan's
digestive organization so that he does not
assimilate his food properly. and the re-
suit, as is always the case in strong, full
blooded men, has been obstinate corpu-
lency that two months of training could
not remove. Probably it would take
year, perhaps two years, of total abstinence
from alcohol to put Sullivan in fit con-
dition for a successful prize ring contest
with q man like Corbett.
Ten years of incorporate drinking have
changed Sullivan from an agile and power
full athlete into clumsy, because corpu-
lent, gladiator. The same weakness that
ruined Dempsey has defeated Sullivan.
The fate of such men is a good temperance
lecture to young fellows who desire to
keep in perfect athletic condition from
year to year; they cannot afford to touch
the bottle early and often.

Logan always said, also victory for pro-
lection. The South has always sought
since the war to upset this victory for the
Union and protection: tried to upset 1t
within the constitution by substituting
tariff for revenue only for the Republican
protective tariff. The Northern Demo-
cratic protectionis.s have always succeeded
in adopting compromise tariff plank.
like that of 1883, but this year the South
has smashed the compromise plank and
adopted free trade. and by the mouth OF
Watterson the South SAYS she means ex-
actly what she says; she wants British
''free trade" untainted by any. suggestion
OF protection.
Why does the South want tariff for
revenue only7 She wants it for the very
same reason that she wanted it in 1882, in
1916. in 1861. She wants it because she
rightly thinks it would ruin the industrial
prosperity of the North, of which the
South has always been jealous and is jeal-
Gus today. The South. outside Of few
spots like Atlanta, Chattanooga and Bir-
mingham, Ala, has no manufacturing to
speak of compared with the North, and
worse than all this, the great mass Of her
people do not desire Northern capital
or the growth of manufactures. To
raise cotton, rice, sugar; to remain chiefly
an agricultural people is the main am
bition of the South today, and for this
reason she believes in tariff for revenue
only, or "free trade" as expressed by the
British revenue system, and is anxious to
upset protection, which she rightly be-
lieves is making the North rapidly rich.
Because it is enriching the North, the
South hates protection, and will hate it
until the South ceases to be provincial,
narrow and bigoted people.

No longer forward or behind

Blow through the autumn morn.
Yet shall the blue-eyed gentian 1909

And the pale aster In the brook
Shall see its image given.
The woods shall wear their robes OF praise,
The south wind softly sigh;
And sweet. calm days in golden haxa,
Melt down the amber sky.
Enough that blessings undeserved
Have marked my erring track;
That whereso'er my feet have sweryed.
His Christening turned me back;
That care and trial seem at last,
Through memory's sunset air,
Like mountain ranges overpaSt,
In purple distance fair;
That all the jarring notes Of life
Seem blending in psalm,
And all the angles of its strife
Slow rounding into calm.

And so the west winds plays
And all the windows of my heart

Of the unwilling of the Grady monu-
ment here II was reported to Com
mander-in-chief Palmer that the Grand
Army post OF this city had marched in
the procession In which confederate

an order from Gen. Palmer in which he
commanded that hereafter G. A. r.

such parades.
In reply to this the boys of that post

they declared that, while they had no
apology to make for their action, they
would have preferred that the flag had
not been carried as IL was inappropri-
