What They Lack I'd.

1t has been said, we believe, that
"a poet is born, not made" but even
a poetic birthright does not prevent
its owner from occasionally encoun-
tering adverse criticism on his early
efforts. While Thomas Campbell
was prosecuting his studies at the
University Of Glasgow, he occupied
apartments with an elder brother,
who, though no poet himself, wat a
most admirable critic, but a severe
one.
MI. Campbell had gone down to
the breakfast-ro0m one morning,
leaving the poet to follow at his lei
sure. After waiting for some time,
he began his meal in solitude. He
had nearly finished breakfast when
his brother entered with a copy of
verses in his hand, which he laid on
the table as an excuse for his delay,
at tue same time requesting Mr..
Cambpell's opinion Of their merit.
The reply was quite characteristic of
his brothers. peculiar dry humor.
sYour lines are admirable, Tom,
my boy" said the elder Campbell,
after calmly perusing the verses,
.but they appear to me to want f1re;;'
and suiting the action to the word,
the merciless critic committed the
paper to the flames. The poet bare

The Love Of Country.

1u8 AUSc VI OOuuIEys
The Chicago Herald rushes to the
defense of the British mercantile ma
rine, saying that the American Econo-
mist care very little for the mining
camp crowd" which Is also spoken OF
as "the silver paranoiacs."
Nothing can be more offensive to
by the Chicago Herald, than an effort
to increase the price of anything
Great Britain receives in payment for
goods sold. 1t is a tenet of the clas IS
represented by that paper that all raw
material, which English manufacture
ers re, GIVE in payment for finished
goods sha | be produced in great guam
tit 'es and at as many different places
as pos sible, that the prize may be low.
On the other hand, they wish to re-
strict manufacturing to England, that
the price of goods received for grain,
etc., may by high.
When this policy is not only at.
tackled lit does not matter whether it
is in favor of American silver, wool or
IRON but in addition al effort is made
to decrek Q sectional differences and
take from British shipbuilders and
shipowners tho 5000, 100000 a year we
are paying to them for oversea freights,
and turn that immense sun of money
to the service of American industries.
the Chicago Herald calls the Ameri-
can Economist the "organ of the pro-
tectees." and deprecates its effort to
force England TO adopt O silver policy
favorable to this country"
The Chicago Herald mas the same
love for the interests of this country
that Artemus Ward had for his wife 8
relatives.

WHO
The Constitution contemplates that
Congress he do it through a message,
but Grover Cleveland treats this con.
stitutional provision with contempt.
His latest method of influencing Com
gress is wholly unprecedented, and re.
calls Oliver Cromwell's treatment Of
Parliament. He assumes the right to
dictate to that body what sort of q
tariff bill it shall pass. prescribing
with unheard Of arrogance what con
cessions must be made in conference.

We res Taat Report.
The country would like very much
just now to read the report of the com.
mittee appointed to investigate the
charges of bribery Of United States
Senators by the Sugar Trust. The
committee has spent several weeks in
the investigation, and it must have
learned whether the charges are true
or not. # they r untrue there is no
reason why the committee should not
say SO. The only differences to be
drawn from the failure Of the COM
mittee to make a report are that the
charges are true. and that the report
is being held back because It would
affect the sugar schedule of the tariff
bill unfavorably. or else the committee
is trying to shield the guilty Senator'S
Tn People Not In 1t.
Atariff bill was finally framed to suit
the House, and now. after hard work,
a tariff bill has been framed to suit
the Senate. The next thing is to
frame q bill that will suit the Presi-
