THE WICKED FRENCH PRESS.

The American newspapers are hav>
ing delightful inning now over the
Panama Canal developments.
1t is amusing to note with what a
look Of sorrowful reproof the pious
press of America gaz on the venal
Journalists Of the Partisan Capitol.
1t has actually came ont in evidence
that the Panama Directors advertised
very heavily in the Partisan news
papers and the said newspapers re
turned the obligations by quitting the
great canal scheme, Awful wasn't
it,
Now the APPEAL is of the opinion
that there are not five newspapers in
all America who would not have done
the same thing.
We feel quite positive that had a
Panama Canal Director enclosed
check tothe 1IoRNING APPBALfor 5000
francs accpmpani. 4 by an advertis-
ment to 60 top Of column It to
reading matter for one year, that we
would have the check turned into
American money as soon as we could
reach the Bullion Bank, and the adv.
of the canal, puffs of the Directors
etc, would have appeared next morn>
ing.
OF course we are only speaking for
ourselves.
Possibly that Yestal Virgin of
Nevada journalism, the Reno Gaz-
cite, whats the matter with two
hundred shares, AllenD would have
taken different course and the i'm
maculate old dame in Virginia City,
the Evening Chronicle, would doubt
less returned the check.
These are two of the FIVE Ameri-
can journals we had in mind, when
We accepted them from the general
IN of poor, weak, frail newspapers

BIERCE AVID RILEY.

The Sacramento Bee again Jumps
on Ambrose Rierce for having said
in the simple frankness Of his soul
that James Whitcomb Riley was not
a poet. The Bee argues that his last
book Of poems has cached the sixth
edition in the East aud quots some
verses under the head Of Gems from
Riley"
These verses do not in any way
bear out the assertion that he ia a
poet.
Here is sample:
o the drum!
There is some
Intonation in the grum 90
Monntony of utterances that strikes
the spirit dumb,
As We hear
Through the clear
And uDclouded atmosphere
Thy p4lpltating syllables roll in upon
the ear!
This certainly isn't much of any
thing but fantastic rhyme, and fan
tastlc rhyme does not constitute
poetry.
Rley's dialect verses suit large
per cent of the population.
The poem that has for a refrain,
The gob-e-lin will git you,
IF
you
don't
look
ont.
Is the most popular OF all Riley's
verses, but no one viii seriously cal
such stuff poetry.
Dialect verse is always popular
with the misses, not because it IS
good, but because The masses can
appreciate anything better
Some one, We think it was John
Hay, wrote Of man who said.
I'm hold tie nozzle agin the
bank. till the last gal OTIS ashore,
and he became popular poet in the
newspapers on tie strength Of that
line Of wretched slang.
Some years ago Bierce wrote
masterful piece Of verse FIR the Ex-
aminer called the The Passing
Show"
No stated er poem than this
has been gritten IN America for
quarter OF century.
TIE grandeur Of the lines and the
consnmmate art of the versidcation
caused the poem to strike one az
succession Of magnificent chords of
music.
twas an effort which Bierce will
never surpass, no matter how long he
lives, but it scarcely attracted any
attention.
Rol en- NJ Daggett, a poet himself,
and judge of it, said of this piece of
Blerce's verse:
"The poem has never been sur
passed but once in the English Ian
guage and that was when Gray wrote
his "EIegy in a Country Church
Yard"
