ROMAN STANDARDS.

From All the Year Around
In the Roman army there was very
highly-developed system of military
ensigns. which, just as among modern
nations. were regarded not merely a.
rallying point for a given body Of
men, but as an emblem of the state.
and were therefore surrounded with "A
veneration which degenerated into
idolatry From a tactical point Of
view the Roman standards were 81
more importance than the flag of the
present day, for the movements Of the
troops were entirely regulated by
them.

carried forward, planted in the ground
or turned toward the rear, in obedi-

were planted before the generals tent

Peter Kline is not highly reputable
citizen. \ charge from him would be
accepted charity By the people. But
he makes no charges. The charges We're
made by Judge Allen and Henderson,

If the voter is trying to arrive at an
honest conclusion he will study these
proofs of Kline at length. Knowing
klines reputation as citizen he will
pause before accepting Klineis state

If he is Populist he will try to impeach
that evidence in his own mind.
After the voter has picked ali the
weak spots in kline's statements let him
again turn to Henderson'S and Aliens
letters. They say that Lewelling has
countenanced corruption in Kansas City,

not make this statement blindly. They

Morton might talk 10 the English farm
ers and tell them how he had put his
foot down on an irrigation scheme to re-
claim large amount of western Kansas
and Nebraska lands, because it would
become competitive with eastern farms
and reduce the price of farm products.
That would please the English farmers
as much as Wilson pleases the merchants

THE MYs lERY OF GENIUS,

From the St James Gazette.
Exactly the same problem that con-
fronts us in the case of Shakespeare
meets us in the biography of all men of
genius. The degrees OF genius may
differ, but this problem is omnipresent,
whatever the degree of genius. From
the case of Chaucer, the son of Lon
don vintner, TO that of Lamb,
the son of lawyers clerk. and
before Chaucer and since Lamb,
this problem is omnipresent. We are
perpetually astonished, or in our
thong are inclined to be
astonished, at the surroundings amid
which genius makes its appearance.
Would the marvel he really lessened,
we ask, if we changed those sur
roundings? Scarcely one whit.
The opportunities of genius NAV
possibly he improved. though it would
be a singularly audacious person who
would undertake to improve them. Il
may be wished that Lamb should have
been saved from all ne suffered for so
many years from pecuniarv and other,
yet direr, distresses; but who can say
that the consequences of such an i'm
reference with his fate would have
been really favora bic to the unfolding
of his genius? But, however this may
be. no such interference would have
created or increased his natural endow-
ment. 1t may be true that in country
churchyards lie ''mute inglorious Mil |
tons"-that is, poets who never had a /
chance of showing what was in them. 4
An alteration of their circumstances /
would not have given them genius, it /
would only have provided them with /
that chance they lost.
Thus, 10 explain how the Homers, |
the Dantes. the Shakespeares have /
arisen exactly when and where they 1
have arisen surpssses any critics pow
ers-is a task beyond the reaches Of /
our souls" The apparition of geniW
is one
or those mysteries which Heaven
VIII not have earth to know.
To maintain that il Is impossible il
should appear in the son of a country
tradesman shows the grossest igno-
rance of all literary history-shows, we
say. that those who maintain such
notion do not understand the problem
with which they take upon themselves
TO deal

In the CoLFAx CHRoN1c1E of a recent

OF which this is portion:
'rIHED OF PoPULrsM."

Here we are. Bro. Goodwin, slightly disfghreI
That was cute Democratic trick 70 put lick
out on the P0pulites and side-track them be-
cause Hicks was Democrat all the way through
ii am any judge.
The only portion Of this clipping which
has any semblance of truth is Pats dec
laration that am Democrat. The 9th
er assertion, that my candidacy was q cute
Democratic ''trick, =" il, as far as had any
connection Herewith, an UNQUALIFIED
falseh0od, an unwarranted Islander. an
objectionable reflection on my integrity,
an uniustifiable attempt to bring me into
disrepute with those who had placed their
confidence and trust in my custody, and
no man who has proper appreciation of
the character OF another would 80 flip
PANTY cast such aspersions on the name
of that one, whom he does not know.
In justice TO me think the Chronicle
should reproduce this, and request all
Populist papers to do likewise, as that
was the class which the author sought to
break my influence with.
/ went into that race on the platform
OF principles enunciated in my announce.
ment. 1t was an open, honest candidacy
on that line, and no man shall say play
ed such contemplate role Pat assays to
assign me, without having the falsehood
nailed, no matter what the consequences
may be. G. d. HICKS.
We take pleasure in reproducing the
above from the Shreveport Progress, Of
which Mr.. Hicks is the editor. He seems
to hold himself especially sacred from
the criticisms and jibes of newspaper cor
respondents. just why he should be 80
"touchy" in this matter we fail to under
stand, for there certainly was something
funny in the zeal exhibited by the Popu-
lites over their Democratic candidate.
Pat hardly intended, nor did he init
mate that Mr.. Hicks was personally COM
promised. In his assumption that the
Democratic good fortune, of having two
candidates in the field, was trick or put
up job, he may be wrong, but, from the
statement above, it is apparent that the
squib complained Of was at least half
true, and, while the other half may have
been little inconsiderate and offensive,
the injustice in it has to be inferred as
sort OF logical sequence. Mr.. Hicks can
didly admits the soft impeachment of Pat
that he is Democrat, and that is ample
reproach in PopuIite eyes. He shouldn't
kick so tremendously over little railery
about his late slky:rocket experience.

President Cleveland on his re-
turn to Washington found radical
change for the better in the tariff
situation. Senator Teller, after
his very sensible speech, telling
the Republican Senators that they
no longer had any reasonable ex-
cuse for delaying the final vote on
the bill, clinched his argument by
forcing a test vote on motion to
lay the bill on the table. That
motion received the vote of every
Republican present, % in all, and
every Democrat present-among
them Senator Hills in all, voted
against it, as also did three Popu-
lists. That vote removed the last
vestige of doubt about the passage
of the bill, and leaves Republican
fiillibustering without a leg to
stand on, the Republicans, having
claimed that they were justified in
using the tactice they did by Demo-
cratic opposition to the bill. They
will now be given last chance to
agree upon time to take the final
vote. There is feeling of relief
to know that the end is in sight.
The Senate committee has con-
cluded the taking of testimony in
the bribery case, and it is believed
that the report will state the belief
of the committee to be that Buttz
attempted to bride Senators Hun
ton and Kyle. The committee is
now taking testimony concerning
the sugar trust and its alleged re-
lations with Senators.
Attorney General Olney, in an
swer to resolution adopted by the
Senate lastweek, asking what action
had been taken against the trusts
under the act of July2, 1890, has
furnished the Senate with the rec
ord of a suit begun against the
various firms composing the sugar
trust, which was dismissed in the
u. s. Court for the Eastern District
of Pennsylvania, with costs against
the government, appealed to the
Circuit court, which affirmed the
action of the District court, and
which is now before the q. s. Su-
preme court OH appeal. Mr.. Olney
does not say 80, but it is inferred
from his communication and the
accompanying documents that he
considers the much-talked-about
Sherman antitrust law worthless
one. Other people suspicioned as
much when it was first proposed by
Mr.. Sherman as substitute for
more stringent measure proposed
by Democratic Senators.
