Philistinism.
Against the Phistine everywhere Heine
waged so determined war. and there is so much
sincerity in his enthusiasm for political ref
ormation. that it would be absurd to belittle
the character OF his uttcrances on serious topics:
but 1t is impossible to extract an organized
message OF deep sociological or philosophical
import from his prose-the prose OF poet
conversing familiary. AS for his poems. they
bear burden OF reforming zeal they are
simply Short swallow flights Of song that dip
their wings in tears and fly away This ele-
ment Of pathos. the touch OF fearful emotion,
is never absent from Heine for in his
earliest days his representative disposition had
much to bear His schooldays were like Shell
ley's-a kind Of pursatory. and all through his
life fate contrived to wound him. 1t wounded
him most VIXEN he was least able to bear it-in
his closing years, surcharged with physical
misery. But he gives the clearest insight into
his character when he says. on page 30 Of this
volume. Il have at this moment to shake my
cap and bells to Danish the sad thoughts"
No misfortune could blunt the trenchant
point of his pen. no cruelty of enemies
could daunt his spirit. Strength Of char
acter, he says. somewhere was what he most
believed in: and the cap and bells jingling mer
rily through the record of his career show that
his courage was an invincible fact. The record

tion. worth reproduction. Of the wit. the roman
tic sentiment. and the charm which flowed
without an effort from the authors brain. Be-
cause Of this the work has value which lovers
of Heine's personality and gifts will recognize
while they deplore the general clumsiness of
the scheme for which the editor is responsible.
The reprinting OF the poems in the book can
satisfy one. for even granting that 1t Is
useful to them associated chronologically
with letters and other prose writings. their in
clusion really throws new light on Hcine's
development at this or that period The ind
vdualty and the lyric note of the poems have
disappeared under Mr. Dexters painstaking but
quite uninspired hand. Since he has abridged
the book in respect to it's prose he might also
have shortened it by number OF poems. a new
edition OF the work without the latter would
make a popular sketch of Heine.

VOICES AND VISIONS.

'homas Bailey Aldrch in Scribner's MagaxiuA
In youth. beside the lonely sea,
Voices and visions came 10 me.
Titania and her furtive broods
Were my familiars in the woods.
From every flower that broke In flame,
Some haf-articulate whisper came.
In every wind felt the stir
or some celestial messenger.
Later. amid the city's din
And toll and wealth and want and sin.
They followed me from street to street.
The dreams that made my boyhood sweet.
As I'm the silence-haunted glen,
So mid the crowded ways Of men
Strange lights my errant fancy led.
Strange watchers watched beside my bed
III fortune had no shafts for me
In this aerial company.
Now one by one the visions fly,
And one by one the voices die.
More distantly the accents ring.
More frequent the receding wing.
Full dark shall be the days In store.
When voice and vision come no moreI

The Financial Situation.

BY Southern Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, June 13.-The fnan-
cial condition of the country, as
viewed from the Treasury stand
point, shows general improve
ment. Bank and commercial fail
ures are fewer. Europe is buying
our grain in greater quantities, gold
shipments have ceased at least for
the present, confidence is being re-
stored ard money is not so tight.
TIE Treasury net gold has increased
from sS9,O00,000 to $91, 100000, and
the demand for email money in the
West will have the effect to further
increase the Treasury gold. The
rate of exchange is sufficiently high
to warrant the shipment of gold
abroad, but the fact that CONNER
cial paper is for sale in London has
a deterrent effect. There is a gen.
eral feeling that the worst is passed,
the weaker financial institutions and
business firms having succumbed,
while those that passed through SO
far unscathed are the stronger for
having weathered the financial
storm.
