TENNYsONIAN PREJUDICEs.
He Had No Love for "the Common People
and Spoke Disdainfully Of Them.

He Had No Love for "the Common People,
and Spoke Disdainfuiiy Of Them.
Rev Hugh Price Hughes. NJ. A.
At the bottom of Tennyson's jingoism. as Of
all jingoism, dislike. or at least distrust. Of
the common people. In one of his poems he
speaks of the common people as 1.-The many
headed beast" Oh. sadly significant express
SION Jesus Christ was absolutely incapable,
under any circumstances. or for any purpose.
of calling the multitude on WHOM he had COM
passion the .'many-headed beast" And I
venture to say that the true poet of the new
year upon which we are now entering, the
true poet of the twentieth century, will never
speak of the people thus. In ''Locksley Hall.
Sixty Years After Tennyson refers with de-
rision and contempt to household suffrage. He
expressed his horror and dismay that the rulers
of the British empire had to take 1.-the voices
of tine field" and 1.-The suffrage Of the plow; but
let us not unduly condemn TennysOn. If he
had not exhibited this particular temper in re-
lation to the poor he would not have been such
r representative Of culture in the Victorian
age. as in truth be Is. 1t would be most unrea-
sonable Of us TO expect that Tenuyson should be a
man of his great grandchildren's time instead
of being man of his own time. His prejudice
only proves that he simply represents the
nineteenth century of his day, with all its pecu-
liarities. And if he had not exhibited from
would not have been the mirror of the Victorian
nge. He was, in truth, the very type of the
Anglican and academic English gentleman Of
the nineteenth century. As the son Of a coun-
try clergyman and the child of the University OF
Cambridge. he exhibited some of the manifest
noblest and most splendid virtues of his race.
But he had the defects of his qualities He be-
ionged essentially to the old governing classes
that have so long ruled England and the British
empire. but who will not rule England much
longer, unless they accept the new ideas OF the
new era which we have already entered. Every
man who has eyes to see must realize that the
twentieth century will be both democratic and
socialistic. We must not be frightened by
words. for the fundamental tenet Of the CEN
fury thus described will be the dictum OF
Carpenter of Nazareth who said that "a man 8
life conslsteth not in the abundance of the
things which he possesseth." Claiming. whe
knew the ethical mind of Christ great deal
letter than most of those who are more ortho-
dox than himself, pointed out long ago that the
real cause OF war, which still desolates mankind
even in civilized countries, ia contempt for the
individual man. If those in authority recog-
nized the dignity and sacredness of every hu-
man life there could be no war in civilized
lands

Soil, Drain, Waste and Vent Pipes.

To tire Editor % The Evening Star:
A short time ego a board. of experts sub
mitted new set Of regulations in regard to
pipes and plumbers. I fail to see the sense of
that portion which relates to the location of
soil. drain, waste and vent pipes. They are to
''be located inside OF buildings" and be ac-
cessible for inspection. Pipes 30 placed in our
houses would be a nuisance They would take
up room; every one knows that nearly all our
houses are small and cramped. The sound
from them on the first floor would be annoy
ing and repuisive. II wouid be very hard TO
conceal them from sight and sound and have
them accessible.
do not think pipes need to be placed inside
10 keep them from freezing. They will not
freeze If placed ON the outside IL the water is
properly turned OF aud the flushing tank is not
allowed to click, which it will not do IL kept in
good order. Any pipes will sometimes freeze
in the house in the severes; weather If no ire is
kept at night. / have never had any pipes
freeze yet. In cold weather / always keep nv
fires over night. i have noticed . number Of
drsin pipes that have frozen up during this
cold weather and as far rs l could see il was
caused by the water not having been properly
cut off, think il would be q wise thing to
have an inspector to visit every house OCCASION

MIR. Hatcher mas charge OF the meetings.
The court of appeals yesterday decided the
case Of Wilson 4 Poehlmann against J. y. Her
bert, which involved the title TO the most val
liable piece Of property in this town. The
property il situated az the corner of Main
street and Washington avenue and was a few
years ago rented by the plaintiffs. with. as they
claimed. the privilege of buying il at certain
price. This was denied by Mr. Herbert, AID
since the value of the land has doubled he. Of
course. refused to convey il 10 them and they
brought suit in the circuit court for title and
being defeated there appealed to the court of
appeals. Mr. Herbert will be compelled to ac-
cept the original purchase price claimed by
Wilson Poehlmann to have been agreed upon
and in addition 70 refund the rents received
and pay the costs of the suit.

Flood the Fish Ponds.

TO the Editor OF The Evening Star:
Will you kindly, through your columns. ask
the District Commissioners to have the ponds,
provided Col. Ernst will give his consent. at
the foot of 18th street flooded? am sure the
fire department will respond promptly, as they
80 willingly did n few years ago. The beach is
a dangerous place for the ladies and children to
skate on and the ice is in poor condition, but
an inch or 30 of water over the ice on the fish
ponds will give them a surface like glass and be
safe place. Will Col. Ernst grant permission
of the use Of the fish ponds and oblige

To the Editor Of The Evening star:
1t being matter Of public concern ask the
use OF sufficient space to publicly request Mr..
Geo. W. Evans to give me Information that he
has neglected to give me on my private appli-
cation to him for it.
On the 10th instant you printed an interview
with Mr.. Evans relative to a bill introduced in
the Senate by Mr.. Chandlerto prohibit the cx-
istence of unauthorized military organizations.
Your reporter states that in that interview Mr..
Evans said there was treason to believe that
members Of the National Guard had taken steps
to compel the National Rifles to 'either Join
the guard or disband."
In view of the publication of that interview
addressed the following Letter to Mr.. Evans.
He has not replied to my letter, ard am.
therefore, forced to publicly ask him to give
me public reply. do not intend that accu-
sations shall be publicly made against the men
l have the honor to command and allow the
accuser to shirk or evade responsibility for
them. propose that Mr.. Evans shall either
give to the public the facts on which he bases
his assertion or publicly admit that he had no
knowledge Of any facts on which he based his
assertion or. by maintaining silence, leave the
citizens of the District to draw their own in
ferences in regard to himself and his assertions:

Dear Sir:

Senate by Mr.. Chandler.
''Presuming that you would not make such a
