CAMPAIGN OPENS.

Advices from Washington say that
Colonel John H. Carroll, vice chair
man of the democratic state COM
nlittee of Missouri, has been in
Washington for the past couple of
days. Colonel Carroll has been con-
sulting with senators and represen-
tatives from Missouri regarding the
conduct of the campaign in that
state. 1t seems to be the present
intention to open the speech making
campaign at st. Louis Immediately
after the adjournment of congress,
somewhere towards the end of
August, perhaps.
Senator Vest will open the cam
paign there. Senator Coke will also
participate, and Colonel Carroll
expects that Vice President Steven
son, Speaker Crisp, Senator Daniel,
of Virginia, and Representative
Baily, of Texas, will make few
speeches in the state. Mr.. Wilson,
of West Virginia, chairman of the
ways and means committee, will
make a speech at Kansas City soon
aft + the adjournment of congress.
Colonel Carroll says that Governor
Stone and Ex-Governor Francis and
their friends will / e expected to go
actively into the campaign and tax"
the stump. He says that he cam
paign will be conducted squarely on
the Kansas City platform. 1t seems
that Il report was sent abroad that
the managers of the campaign ex-
hibited tendency to ignore the
platform adopted at Kansas City,
but Colonel Carroll says this is a
feint of the enemy; that every dem
ocrat in Missouri stands squarely on
the platform, an the contest will be
fought on that line.
Colonel Carroll says that the
heaviest part of the campaign work
must be done by home people. He
intimates that the congressman will
have to go in deep. Colonel Carr III
expects to roll up an old fashioned
majority, and says that while the
speech making part of the campaign
will not begin for some weeks yet,
that organization is being now per
fected, clubs are being formed and
all the preliminary work of the con-
test being arranged.

MARK TWAIN As 4 CRITIC.

From the Boston Advertiser.
Prof. Dowden's life of Shelley, in
which the biographer justified all of
Shelley's faults, not to say crimes,
had evoked good deal of criticism
OH both sides the Atlantic, but we
have seen nothing better than Mark
Twain's "Defense of Harriet Shell
ley" in the July number of the
"North American RerieU." He
writes of this biography as follows
"This Shelley biography is a liter
ary cakewalk. The ordinary forms
of speech are absent from it. All the
pages, all the paragraphs, walk by
sedately, elegantly, not to say
mincingly, in their Sunday best,
shiny and sleek, pcrfumed, and with
boutonnieres in their buttonholes; it
is rare TO find even chance sentence
that has forgotten to dress. 1t the
book wishes to tell us that Mary
Goodwin, child of l6, had known
affections, the fact saunters forth in
this nobby outfit: Mary was her.

pain meaning by that that she had
not always travelled on asphalt; or,
as some authorities would frame it,
that she had been there herself a
form which, while preferable to the
books form, is still not tC be recon
mendcd. II the book wishes to tell
us that Harriet Shelley hired a wet
nurse, that commonplace fact gets
turned into Gancing master, who
does his professional bow before us
in pumps and knee breeches, with his
fiddle under one arm and his crush
hat under the other, thus: "The
beauty of Harriet's motherly rela
ton to her babe was marred in
Shelley's eyes by the introduction
into his house of hireling nurse to
whom was delegated the mothers
tenderest ofiice.'"

TENN YSON.

Works of Tennyson, Authors Edition,
Macmillan & Co., s1.75. Tennyson's Rela-
ton to Art and Modern Life, by Stupford
Brooke. G, p. Putnam Sons.
In one respect, that of continual
correction, the art of Tennyson re-
sembles that of Pope. One would
hardly suspect the changes which
his poems were undergoing during
the poets life. A comparison of
some of the various editions extant,
shows the studious care with which
Tennyson practiced his art. He was
continually reshaping his thoughts
that they might be thoroughly
conformable to the beauty which he
saw in nature. With all the great
models before him he chose SIM
plicity and stateliness as the two
characteristics of his life work and
all his ambitions tended to these
ends. Few words and fit was the
KEY of his ultimate success. No
where is this 30 manifest as In his
own edition described at the head OF
this column. He never lost sight Of
the poets duty. Progress was hii
watchword. The muses. were evel
beckoning him on and 1t was hi

SOME AMUSING BULLS.

From the Boston Herald.
Pat isn't the only creature in the
world who makes those absurd re-
marks we call bulls. Frenchmen,
Englisbmen and all others make
them with equal frequency. Even
Americans make them, as witness
the statement made by writer in
one of New York's best evening
papers, apropos OF the death of a
great American statesman, some
months ago. "Mr. Soandso," wrote
this strange individual, "spoke no
last words"
A French bull, all the worse for
having been written and not spoken
hastily, WAS made by certain Paris
ian, Gallon by name:
"My Dear - -, left my
knife at your lodgings yesterday
Pray send it to me if you find ii.
Yours, GALLON.
"P. S.-Never mind sending me
the knife; have found it."
There is also note written by
Gallon to his wife, which he sent
home with q basket Of provisions,
the postscript to which read:
"You will find this letter at the
bottom of the basket. II you should
fail to do SO let me know rs soon az
possible"
A Scotch lady once made an anus
ing remark, which comes very apt
under the head Of Lulls. 1t appears
that she was conversing with friend
upon the smoking habit, which she
declared to be vile and destructive
to health.

LINCOLN'S LITERARY ABILITY

From a lecture by X. W. Glider.
Both Napoleon and Lincoln attained
their power of expression partly
through great practice in youth.
Napoleon wrote romance and history.
Lincoln wrote verse and composed
speeches. Napoleon failed as a
literary man; Lincoln certainly did
not make any great success as n
lyceum lecturer; in fact, his style
was at it's best only when his whole
heart was enlisted.
Napoleon's art, when once ac-
quired, was the making of phrases
which pierced like the knife of a
Corsican or tingled the blood like a
trumpet's call. His words go to
their mark like the stroke Of light
ming. Lincoln's style was not
marked by flights of rhetoric, nor
had it any wealth of scholarly adorn :
ment. 1t was without, for instance,
the brilliancy of Lowell. At its best
it was characterized by great sim
plicity and directness, which in
itself is an artistic quality. In
addition, there is an agreeable
cadence not overdone except in one
curious instance, where, in passage
of the second inaugural, 1t degen
crates into actual rhyme. Their
there is quaint homeliness and
humor of illustration, along with {
most engaging frankness and intel
lectual honesty. The reader ha'
both an intellectual and mora
satisfaction in the clearness anS
fairness OF the statement. All thi
effects agreeably the literary form
and helps to give Lincoln's style, a
times, the charm OF imaginative
utterances; for imagination in liter
ature Is essentially the faculty o
seeing clearly and the art of stating
clearly the actual and direct truth.

THE BLACK STOCKING.

From the Chicago Herald.
From Paris comes the edict, "The
black stocking must 60" This does
not mean that white stockings are to
be the rule. On the contrary, white
is no more correct than black. Gray
in all sorts OF shades, is the proper
caper, and the limbs of beauty will
be clad this summer in AL the shades
of a morning mist. No one will
regret this change. The black
stocking has been in the ascendant
for nearly ten years-iust why, 1t is
hard to tell. 1t was neither beauti-
full, sanitary nor comfortable. 1t
produced the optical effect of
lessening the size and spelling the
contour of the leg. The dye was
sometimes poisonous; the whole
effect was bad. The black stocking
was a delusion and a snare. No
one will regret that it is to go. 1t
ought to have been east out long
ago.

POLITICAL.
KANSAS POPULISTS.

KANSAS PoPULIsTs.
On the 18th inst. the state cam
paign was opened by Kansas popu-
lists at Topeka. Governor Waite of
Colorado, was the principal speaker.
Governor Llewelling also spoke.
Speeches were also made by Mrs.
Anna L. Diggs and Mrs. Lease. The
meeting went smoothly enough until
Mrs. Diggs stepped upon the plat =
form. Mrs. Lease, her relentless
enemy, sat just behind her. After a
few opening remarks, Mrs. Diggs
said
"But for tie infamous traitors who
are trying to stab the party to death
in our own ranks, we would win this
battle easily"
AS she said this she turned scorn
full look upon Mrs. Lease, which
caused the blood to rush to that
lady's face. When Mrs. Diggs had
finished, Mrs. Lease took the plat =
form. She rose to her full height,
looked daggers at Little Mrs. Diggs,
and said:
'But for the infamous business of
writing malicious and villainous let
ters and kilograms about Governor
Llewelling a year ago by pretended
leaders of our reform movement it
would be in a better condition to-
day"
"You are a liar! You are liar!n
yelled the little woman, as she
rushed across the platform and shook
her fist at Mrs. Lease.
"Sit down." said the speaker.
"Mr. Chairman, have the plat
form and must not be molested.n
Then Mrs. Lease continued to
score Mrs. Diggs numerically.
When the meeting closed, at which
5000 people were present, Mrs.
Lease invited Governors Waite and
Llewelling to dine with her at her
hotel. A carriage was called and
the three were off.

A MISSOURI PATENT.

From the Hannibal Journai.
Charles johnson has invented q
patent hens nest that Is very great
convenience to Biddy, and 1t is an
automatic persuader for her to do
good work. When the hen ap-
proaches the nest q wicket door
gently opens, and after she passes in
1t closes and the hen has private
apartments all to herself. The egg
OF its own weight opens a trap door
and rolls noiselessly out of sight.
Then when the hen arises, puts her
hands In her pockets, and gets ready
to walk out, not seeing the egg,
thinks she has made o mistake and
lays another. This sort OF thing Is
repeated until the heft Of the
chicken buds In the hox below
touches on q spring and Biddy ID
fred out OF the apartment.

THE NEGRO AND THE MULE.

From the Chicago Record.
Why is it that the negro is SO sue
cessful at managing the mule, and is
30 unsuccessful at managing horse?
1t is generally admitted that both
these propositions are true. The
negro is a noisy driver; while he is
teaming he is constantly shouting at
his beast of burden. The mule 10 by
no means as sensitive to noise as the
horse is; he is less excitable and
more patient. The horse's excite
ment exhibits itself in violence, that
of the mule in stubbornness. The
phrase "horse sense" Is founded
upon absurd error, for the horse
actually has very little of that which
humanity terms "sense." Yet have
we a right to expect any vast amount
of sense in an animal whose eyes are
so constructed as to magnify objects
from eight to twelve times theil
actual size?
While it is true that the negro
soon ruins the average horse, it il
not true that he is more successful
than other people in the manage
ment of the mule. The mule l,
adapted to every class of driver, bu
the negro can be adapted only to th'
mule, and this, We suppose, is really
why we indulge the humorous heres.
that nobody can get along with th'
mule but the negro. The fact is tina
the mule is the only quadruped tina
can get along with the negro.

HUDsoN's ARBITRATION BILL.

HUDSON'S ARBITRATION BILL.
Representative Hudson, of Kansas,
has introduced a bill in congress
looking to the prevention and set
tlement of strikes. 1t provides that
all disputes as to wages, hours of
work, the right to discharge or quit
work, shall be submitted to three
arbitrators appointed by circuit
court, in all cases where the courts
or United States military authority
may be invoked. Persons guilty of
disturbing the property of employers
without having applied for arbitra
ton shall be deemed guilty of
malicious mischief. The same rule
shall apply to employers who reduce
wages or discharge men without sub
mitting the case TO arbitration. In
all of the last cases employers shall
be liable for the full amount of
wages. until the employees shall find
other employment, the period not to
exceed one year, nor can they call
upon the United States forces for
protection until they have applied
for arbitration.

THE MILLENNIUM.

Answer to Query in 81. Louis Republic.
The word "millenium" means a
thousand years. 1t is not found in
the Bible at all, but is used to denote
the thousand years mentioned in the
twentieth chapter Of the book of
Revelation, where st. John, the
divine, saw an angel come down
from heaven, having the keys OF the
bottomless pit and great chain in
his hands: Sand he laid hold on
the dragon, that old serpent, which
Is the devil, and satan, and bound
hima thousand years, and cast him
into the bottomless pit, and shut
him up, and set a seal upon him,
that he should deceive the nations
/ no more till the 1000 years should

THE STRIKE.

The strike has not entirely abated,
though the conditions are much
improved.
Efforts have been made by both
sides to effect a settlement 30 that
the business OF the country might
resume its normal calm.
After the strike began it spread
perhaps as no similar movement in
the history Of the country has
spread. II has effected almost every
branch of business and completely
paralyzed many of them.
Eugene v. Dobs, president of the
Railway Union, managed the strik-
ers. The movement grew rapidly.
Riots became 30 frequent and so
dangerous in Chicago and other
cities that troops had to be called
out. The controversy went on and
feeling was intensified until a war
rant was issued for the arrest OF
President Debs ON a charge of
conspiracy. He was released on
giving bond in the sum Of 10000.
He issued a proclamation urging the
men to stand firm and cautioning
them not to violate the law.
President Cleveland issued an
order practically putting Chicago
under martial law. This was done
after much property had been de-
stroyed.
A conference between the leaders
of the federation OF labor was held
but nothing was accomplished. The
conference sent a telegram to Presi-
dent Cleveland asking his aid and
advice in settling the strike. The
president decided to appoint an
arbitration commission. This com
mission is to be chosen under the
O'Neill arbitration act of 1888, and
will act to adjust difficulties between
employers and employees at the
behest of either party or the presi-
dent.

TAYLOR is A REFoRMER.

Chas. H. j. laylor, the new
recorder of deeds, has caused stir
in colored circles at Washington by
announcing a new policy. He says
he prefers for official positions under
him competent poor people to the
colored "society" dignitaries. He
says he came from Kansas, where
"society" does not flourish and
aristocracy is at discount. He
announces that his administration of
the office will be made on n simon
pure democratic basis. He says he
does not object to base ball, but can
not allow games to interfere with the
regular business of the Office, and
hence those who desire holidays to
witness base ball games will, it is
likely, soon have a general holiday
from the office. He says he objects
to girls in the office chewing gum
while on duty. These are among
the reforms Mr.. Taylor proposes and
over which colored society is agog.
