How the Odes to Pyrrha and Chloe Sound

The difference between poets and 9th
er men who make verses,-not doggerel
but correct Verse,-always distinct, is
sometimes startlingly emphatic. Not
long ago Glanced to take up two books.
One was translation of Horace (the
Odes, and Epodes-with the exception of
the eighth and twelfth; omitted as min
listers do certain stanzas when they give
out hymns, and with more obvious rea-
SOM by learned man, a doctor of phil
osophy. The Doctors edition, bristles
with erudite notes, and has the Latin
text side by side with the English metri-
cal translation. 1t is beautiful edition,
and convenient for reference, but the
translation has less poetry than old
Christopher Smart's literal prose ver-
sions. The other was an unpretending
volume in sad-colored cloth, "a Little
Book of Western Verse; by Eugene
Field, who is only newspaper man,
containing among other good verse,
paraphrases of the freedman's son, as
full of poetry as fine boy is Of mischief.
The learned one--it is very amusing
holds up Horace as one of the linen of
deep moral instincts, in whose hearts
the law was written, who have acted as
conservative moral force. 4 y

ties were such men, with a higher inspi-

Mr.. Cleveland's reported utterance
concerning the unftness of Mr.. Edward
Murphy for the senatorship can have but
one purpose, and that is to defeat the
Troy aspirant. Practically it amounts
to a proclamation by the President-elect,
who will soon have the immense patron
age of the government at his disposal
that vote for Murphy will be an af-
front to him. 1t is impossible to con-
strue it otherwise than threat that I'M
less the representatives of his party in
the legislature of New York do Mr..
Cleveland's bidding they will suffer for
it. 1t looks like an indefensible and very
indecent performance. Of course the
Mugwumps will praise it simply because
Cleveland has done it, without regard to
the quality of the action. But suppos-
ing Hill had been elected President and
Carl Schurz was prominent candidate
before the legislature for Senator, and the
former through newspaper interview
The Portland daily press., 1892-12-29

Mr.. Cleveland's attitude in the Muir
ply senatorship case. will, we fear, have a
very depressing effect upon the cold-toed
boys who have been round getting the in
fluence of the Democratic representative
and other prominent Democrats in their
vicinity under the impression that it will
count for much with the incoming Presi-
dent. Murphy has a very large majority
of the Democratic members of the New
York legislature pledged to his support,
and the New York bosses are for the
most part on his side. His enemies are
chiefly Mugwumps. But Mr.. Cleveland
sides with the latter as against the for
mer. 1t may not be that this indicates
that Mugwump influence is going to be
more potent with him than Democratic
hereafter, but his attitude toward Muir
ply will create fear of that kind that
will send the cold shivers down the
backs Of good many Democratic aspir-
ants.

If it turns out that DeF'reycinet is i'm
plicated in the Panama scandal the
future of one of the most promising
statesmen in France will be blasted. He
was one of the most prominent candi-
dates for the Presidency when Carnot
was elected, and as minister of war has
done great deal to bring the French
army up to its present remarkable state
of efficiency. His past career has been
such as to make it difficult to believe
that he could have been corruptly con-
nected with the Panama matter, but the
same may be said of many others who
have been implicated beyond all ques-
ton.

An, helpless like that little tyke
Ben alwais In the way.
fGoe, max y merrie with the rest,'

But with frown catcht her gown
And hong until her side.
That boy did love his moder we'll,
Which spake him faire, ween;
He loved to stand and hold her hand
And ken her with his cen;
His cosset bleated in the croft,
His toys unheeded lay
He wolde not goe, but, tarrying soc,
Ben allwais IN the way.
Godde loveth children and doth gid
His throne with Soche as the e,
And He doth smile in plaisaunce while
They cluster at His knees;
And sometime, when He looked on earth
And watched the BARNS at play,
He kenne with joy lyttel boy
Ben allwais IN the way.
And then moder felt her heart
How that it ben to-torne,
She kissed tche day till she ben gray
The sh0on he wa to worn;

Nor played upon the f1oore,-

Thu question Of annexing Hawaii to
the United States 10 one that will soon
occupy the attention OF this country.
Chairman Blount Of the foreign affairs
committee of the house Of representa-
tivee, is making a quiet canvass Of the
sentiment Of that body and some action
may be taken by the house before the
present. session closes. England has
long had oovetous eye O this group
of islands, and should she secure them
she would gain al important strategic
point in the Pacific, midway between
India and North America. The people
Of Hawaii are very friendly to the United
States, and her leading men f%oreseeing
that the country is destined to be alb
sorbed by n Of the great powers would
much prefer to come under the flag OF
the United States. Hawaii would be a
desirable acquisition and her annexation
would create no political disturbance OF

and peacenble and their habits and
modes of life would not be disturbed
we're Hawaii to seek shelter under our
flag. The United States cannot afford,
at least, to let any other power get on

SPOKANE is thoroughly aroused over
the proposed establishment OF q mill
tary post in that enterprising city, and
her newspapers TEEN with interviews,
letters and editorial articles on the sub
ject. The Review says:
II would be at once an attraction and a
source of lasting wealth. It would add
value to every piece Of property in Spokane,
and at the same time make q market for
the products Of the surrounding country.
This opportunity can not be dfo1pad now
and picked up later on. The war depart
ment is carrying out a general policy that
will soon be completed. and when these
posts are established they will be estab
lished upon a substantial and enduring bn-
sis. They will probably stand for centu.
ries and will grow with the developments Of
the country. Helena has already secured
such a post. There is room between tina
place and the coast for another. II Spo

Henry l.. Wilson, one of Spokane'e
most enterprising citizens, says of tn
proposed post: "1t would bring her,
5000 u and no producers, ane
consequently nc charge or burden upo,
the energies of the people. 1t would
afford a large, lasting and sure marke
for all sorts of farm produce" All o
which is interesting, and true.

most important organizations of women
in Germany. 1t was organized about
twenty years ago by the house wives of
Berlin for the purpose Of improving the
quality OF domestic service in that city.

bring about a l%essening of the burdens

SUCCESS. In addition to dealing with

IT is refreshing to read, after the rub
bishy talk Of Rudyard Kipling about
America, the opinion Of a trained OBJ
server on our institutions. The French
government recently sent here M. Paul
Deschanel to study the labor question
in this country. In al interview on his
return to Paris the deputy said:
saw there things that astonished me.
The first was the individual energy and the
free initiative Of the citizen toward the
government. Everything is done in that
country without the intervention of the
authorities. The workmen repel every such
encroachment on the part Of the authorities
as they would stamp out a plague, and the
legislators themselves have no influence
upon the workmen. In a word, state
socialism is entirely unknown, or, at least.
banished from the country. The second
noteworthy point is the genius of simplif-
cation displayed alike by workmsn and
manufacturers. They reduce labor to its
minimum, and invent and use tools which
push forward the work with astonishing
rapidity. and at the same time render it
much cheaper than that of European coun-
tries. Both employers and employees show
a surprising knowledge Of practical life.
This is the very essence and spirit OF
American institutions in a nutshell.

The house committee on public build

The house committee on public build
ings and grounds has asked that two
days be set apart for the consideration
of bills reported by that committee. The
committee on rules has not fixed the
days, but if the time is set apart it is
the intention Of the building committee
to pass one bill for each Of the new
states. The Helena bill is on the cal
endar, we'll toward the top, and il any
bills are passed at this session the ap-
preparation will DO made for a building
in this city. While the people Of Mon
tana, in common with the people of
other states, appreciate the necessity of
economy in public expenditures they
feel with Senator German that there is
an economy of u%nwisdom as we'll as an
economy that is wise. There is no saw
ing to the government in paying rents
for it's officials in various parts of the
city when by erecting a new building it
would save this expense. The money
appropriated, if the bill passes at this
session, would not become available for
some time any way, but the government
can never buy a site SO cheap again and
we hope congress will see the advisable
ity of taking the first steps at once.

boom has fallen with a dull thud since
the rejection of the extradition treaty
which he negotiated with France. One
of the most experienced republican law
yers in the senate says the treaty "must
be regarded by all diplomats and author

most vulnerable state papers ever pre-

THOSE republicans who are counting
on the loss of electoral votes to the dem
ocrats in certain of the southern states
through the third party movement are
hoping against hope. AS election day
draws near the voters Of the south will
make sure that their action is not the
means of re-electing Benjamin Harrison,
the friend and champion Of the force
bill. A vote for the third party in one
OF the southern states will virtually be a
vote for Harrison. The men of the
south will not risk the enactment of a
law which would result in their disfran-
chisement, and that is what the ~re-elec-
tion OF Harrison would bring to them.
We do not believe that any supporter of
the force bill will ever be president of
the United States, after this year.
