WRITING AND READING.
The Literary Impulse Sometimes Ar

The Literary Impulse Sometimes Ar
rested By the Scholastic.
The history of literature furnishes a
number of instances OF the literary i'm
pulse arrested by the scholastic. An emf
nent one is the case of Gray. the small
ness of whose production has been often
lamented and much disputed over. Gray
himself had some fine words about I'M
spiration'' In explanation of it,; but the
Immediate cause was the final overmas-
terry of the writing by the reading habit.
Amiel, whose morbid. mystical journal
Intime" attracted SO much notice a while
rifed by the sentiment OF the infinite" or
some such thing, is what he thought was
his affection. Aud Marx Pattison, suf-
fering from the same disorder, adopted
this ~euphuisric accountaof it and wrote to
the editor of the Journa5 to disclose that
there was "in existence at least one soul
which" had "lived through the same
struggles, mental and moral, as Amiel."
The trouble, in plain words, was that both
wanted to write, but loved too we'll to
read. In theirs and in the case of Gray
there Is a touch of pathos, because at bot
tom they discover Il grave weakness OF
will. This is happily absent from the
cases of Matthew lArnold and Lowell,
who may also be cited, l think. as kan
pies of the scholastic bent. developing
somewhat at the expense of the literary.

Rave They Won a Victory

The reporters tell as that the Davis
gang were very jubilanG last week yer
the passage of the Board of Finance
confirmation bill, over the Cover
nor's veto. Perhaps they may modify
their jubilee before they are much
older. They may find that the bill is
very far from doing what they expect
of it. They may find that they are
in the very worst kind of a fix the
moment they try to apply it.
Taken at its best, it is a most blum
dering and bupgling piece of legis-
lation. It needs at least one more
act, and perhaps two, to give it any
value. These r not yet on the
statute book. 1t is doubtful If they
will ever get there. The validity OF
every part of the bill is questionable,
and If it ever gets before the Supreme
Court. God help it, if there is the
ghost of an excuse for overthrowing 1t.
Neither is there the least chance for
delay In the adjudication. The law
of 1889, under which a rapid decision
was reached ON the New Charter
question, is still operative. So Mr.
Davis's triumph may yet turn to gall

The Winter Race Bill.


The Winter Race bill will unques-
tionably become a law. We do not
care to discuss it on it's merits. These
are plain enough on the surface. The
most interesting thing about them is
their strange contrast with the mo-
tives which inspired it.
But the question of local import
ance is as to what figure Robert Davis
cut in its passage.
just as we foresaw, all Davis Hud-
ION followers voted against it. We
suppose Davis will use this as an
argument to hold Mr.. McLaughlin's
misplaced friendship for him. But
did these votes mean anything? (,
There were eight Democratic votes
from Hudson, five of which Davis
controlled absolutely. Now, if these
eight men had been in earnest, they
could simply have talked the bill to
death. Nothing would have been
easier on the final day in the last
hours of the session. One spark OF
determination would have done it.
But if Davis was not a consenting
party to the bill, this would not have
been necessary. The extent of his
power was shown in other direc-
tions. The man who whipped the
Senate into overriding the Governors
veto, had plenty of power to kill a bill
aimed at the injury of his political
tally" and benefactor, if he wanted
to do it. One firm word from him
would have been enough. But the
word was not said. Davis did not
want to say it. In his heart, he
wanted to see Mclaughlin Thrown
down." and so. like a coward and a
cur, he surrendered him to his enemies,
covering himself with the gauzy
shield of the Hudson votes.
We do not know if Mr.. Mclaughlin
will let himself be tricked by this
hollow mockery of friendship. Ger
tainly, NO one else is deceived by it.

New Jerseys Worst Legislature.

1t is useless to heap up condemna-
ton upon the defunct Legislat ure OF
1898. We may safely leave that to
our Republican contemporaries.
They will say all that is to be said
upon the subject. They cannot say
more, for the language of condemna-
tion has no power to exceed the
deserts of that infamous crowd of
hcodlums and corruptionists.
1t would be an exaggeration,
probably, to say there were ten wholly
honest men out of the eighty-one who
made up the two Houses. 1t would
be equally an exaggeration to say
that over a dozen or SO possessed the
brains or the position beftting even
the humblest type of legislator.
In many cases, the men who
had the most brains were among
the rottenest rascals in the combine.
The New York World, this morning,
sized up the gang from n point OF
view most appositely, 1.-THE average
of intelligence and ability" it said,
Twas not much above that in a con-
vention of bartenders.n But in a con-
vention of ~bartenders there might be
a high average of honesty. In its
moral aspect, this Legislature a
only be compared with a convention
of burglars and pickpockets. Some
good laws were passed, but hardly
one because it was good. There was
usually a bride or some other base
motive to inspire the affirmative
votes cast even in good causes.
The race track measures attracted
most attention on account of the agi-
tation stirred up by a large and most
respectable element of the people. But
they were not really the worst work
done or attempted by the Legislature.
By the time the net results are ciph-
cred out, it will be found that the
other villanies of the session are SO
much worse that these will be thought
unimportant peccadillos.
To the honest citizen, who feels his
gorge rise at the iniquity of this eight
weeks carnival of crime, the most
hideous act of all must still remain
the last. Just to think of Mr.. Hutch
inson, Mr.. Salinger and the other
honest men of the House contributing
to a gift of diamonds for the agent of
the gamblers and the lobby who
presided over the House as Speaker,
is enough to drive the plain ordinary
man to suicide in despair of better
things. And yet these men not only
put up their money for diamonds for
the villain. who ought to have been
impeached, but they further be-
praised and be-slobbered him from
the floor of the House. until even the
fellow himself was appalled, and lost
his nerve.
What is the use of being honest?
What is the good of being staunch in
the right path, when iniquity brings
with it the same rewards and the
same honors?
Why should not Mr.. Flynn be the
tool of the race tracks and the Davis
gang, when even those whom he
trampled on and outraged slavered and
cringed before him because he had
graciously permitted them to live at
aIl2
OF all the shameful things about
this shameful Legislature, these clos
ing compliments were assuredly the
most shameful of all.
