TENNYsON.

THE death of Alfred Tennyson, Baron
D'Eyncourt, removes from public ken the
greatest poet of the Victorian age. This
place he held in the common estima-
lion of the best judges, and the popular
approval confirms it. Individual opinion
may dissent. Some Of us may claim for
our own Emerson more rare if infre-
quent note; our Gallo brethren may
sound the praise of Hugo and some may
laud the earlier lays of Swinburne, who
may yet tread in Fennyson's footsteps
as Laureate. But the universal judg-
ment will stand. Exceptions do not
disprove the rule.
A sane, healthful. modern, not unver-
satile genius was Alfred Tennyson's. He
has written of death in "In Memoriam {"
as no other poet has done. He has glori-
fed the misty Arthurian myths for Eng
lands pride. He has written of modern
life as freely as Clough, and has even
written dialect poems, preserving for
us the quaint and rugged phrase of the
north country. As dramatist Tenny-
son was comparative failure, but not
from lack of the literary ability.
His dramas are untheatrical, but
far and away better adapted to the stage
than Swinburne's Boutwell," A" or Shell
leys or Coleridge's closet dramas. In
this day, when farce comedy" and
" burlesque" hold the stage, it is as well
for great men to fail as dramatists. Yet
Tennyson's was only that comparative
failure which men call the success
destinie.
Quantity as well as quality attest the
mans greatness. He lived serenely as
a poet should and spent his long and
sunny life coming the gold of noble
thought into fitting rhyme. He will
not be forgotten.

NEW York State is free of debt.

An interesting attempt to outline q

temporary, the Pawtucket Tribune in

This is not very alarming program.
We might criticise in detail By pointing
out that sugar. coal and lumber in the

the wool growers of the West, and that

SILENCE Is CONSENT.

The admirers of Grover Cleveland in
the North and East have looked anx-
iously in all his letters and speeches for
one word in reprobation of or dissent
from the wild cat banking plank of the
Democratic platform. They have not
found it.
Silence is consent. Against the mere
negation of approval the Democrats can
place the explicit fact that Grover
Cleveland has consented to rest a pro-
portionate part of his ponderous person
alty upon the wild cat plank of his
party's platform. He has not rejected
it. He stands upon it.
Mr.. Cleveland must come out posi-
lively and definitely against wild cat
money. He must give positive pledge
that he will veto any wild cat banking
bill, or the friends of honest money in
both parties are justified in voting
against him. Nothing less than this
will save him the electoral vote of a sin
gle Northern State.

CONSTRUCTIVE SUICIDE"

The Pittsburgh Times of April 9th,
printed the article below, from one OF its
staff correspondents. This version was
at once followed by another, and con-
trary statement, but we are inclined to
think that Secretary Blaine means what
he says. The Times said:
"If any answer had been needed to the
ANONYMOUS story that Secretary Blaine
was complaining that he had been
badgered and bounded by friends of
President Harrison into writing his cele-
brated letter declining to be candidate
for the Presidency. Mr.. Blaine himself
answered it to-day.
I'm the course of conversation with
representative of the Times, and one OF
the leading physicians of the country,
who has recently attended the Secretary,
the physician remarked:
al see some of the newspapers con-
tinue to connect your name with the
Presidency, Mr.. Secretary
promptly, as an answer to a question
upon which The had done deliberatlng,
Mr.. Blaine responded: The position is a
most laborious and exhausting one. He
has no voice, no alternate, no substitute
| upon whose shoulders he can shade re-
sponsiblity. There is Vice President,
| but IN our VI OONOlhhiOhO ~ NV"
not permit him to assume the powers
and duties of the President, except in
case of the death, removal, resignation
or disability of the President: 1t does
not contemplate the Vice President as an
occasional acting President for day or
two. or week or two, when the man
who has been elected to that office may
need rest and recreation.

The gathering of reliable information
on the condition of the many crops, and
the effect which the weather is having
upon them, by the U. S. Department Of
Agriculture, Weather Bureau, and issu.
ing the same in the form of weekly
crop bulletin, has grown to be one of the
most important works which the State
weather Service Division of this Bureau
can do.
The bulletins are called for by newspa-
pers, exchanges, farmers clubs and in
dlvlduals, and it can be readily seen. that
by following them from week to week
one can make a close estimate at any
time of the condition of any crop in any
county, State or country at large.
The reliability of the bulletin depends
upon the number of correspondents. and
in New England this year we wish to
have no section unrepresented. Frank
ed blanks will be furnished on applica-
tion to this Office, and any person offer
ing to make the reports will confer a

THEIDEAL FARMER.

All sorts of advice, says the Free
Press, have been given by agricultural
writers and others as to the way In
which to become successful farmer
and how to make farming pay. The
most intelligent and at the same time
comprehensive statement of the subject
that we remember to have seen, how
ever. is that given by Secretary Rusk OF
the agricultural department to MIR. Frank
q Carpenter, the well-known newspa-
ner correspondent. Here is the whole
case in a nutshell as regards the ideal
" .'He must be sulleien'ly well educated
IN science as far as it is applicable to
agriculture, and he must be intelligent
enough to study his surroundings and to
amply his knowledge to the conditions
about him. The farmer OF the future
will be business man, able not only to
compel his soil to do its best in the mat
| ter of production, but to study the mar
kets and know what will sell the best, and
what will command the highest price.
This farmer will keep his accounts like
any other business man. AS to the ques
| tion of his education, when you consider
that he must have a knowledge OF al
fine principles of animal and plant life
that he must understand the constitu
emf elements of soils and fertilizers, ant
that he must have some knowledge o.
meteorology, chemistry, and the othel
sciences closely connected with croI
raising. YOU win see that the ideal farm
or of the future will have to be not onl!
a brainy but well-educated man."

Each day, Most people need to use it.

Already reports of forest fires have
begun to come from various parts of
New England aud no little damage has
been done. The most of them seem to
have been started by careless sports
men. Too much care cannot be taken
by those who have occasion to build
fires in the woods and fields at the pres
ent time. In most parts of New Eng
land there is little or no snow. The
streams, too, are low, and everything in
the woods is in dry and infamable
state. Under such conditions only a
slight act of carelessness on the part of
a fisherman or a hunter will imperil
valuable property.
