Speaking Of railroads. the Santa Fe
is doing greater business at this point
than ever before. 1t is astonishing where
1t all comes from, but the big smelters
are using raw material at the rate of sew

as they run the railroads will continue
business. The Santa Fe must be doing

The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1895-11-30

Sarah Beruhardt. in her one thous-
andth interview, Is said to have ex-
pressed her mad admiration for Julia
Marlowe. Now ! don't believe Sarah
ever said IL. She did rave over Clara
Morris once, for Morris was quite her
style. But Mariowe. should not ex-
actiy call il the yearning of the star
for the moth. nor yet the passion OF
Heine's palm for the pine. but rather
the longing of the range for the re-
frigerator.
The old question of the laureateship
is up again in England, and the tide
of favor seems to set toward SWIM
burne Undoubtedly Mr.. Swinburne is
the greatest living English poet, indeed,
since his brother i'm Apollo is picking
okum In prison, he is the only one left
US now. Swinburne is a great lyric poet,
perhaps he is almost too much of a
poet Sometimes the matchless COM
pleteness of his rythm almost drives one
to distraction. English ears were not
made for much rythm. What with his
rythm and rhyme and ALTERATION, his
meaning is frequently quite subordinat-
ed He repeats his pet rhymes over and
over. just as Homer takes those great
laundering lines and hurls them at
you again and again for very delight in
his own thunder Swinburne is thor
oughly a Greek. in his thought and
treatment, as well as in his theme.
The Greek tendencies are discernable
in every detail of his verse, even in his
indomitable love of joining an ad-
jective and a verb to merely do the
work of an adjective. It's the old trick
of Homer's.loud sounding sea-" Some
times / think Swinburne himself quite
forgets his meaning in the delight OF
his measure. He can do anything with
poetic measures. He has even initial
ed the Sapphic measures perfectly in
stubborn. unyielding English syllables.
He is intoxicated with melody and
drunk with sound. He is like a bac-
chante singing himself hoarse and
scourging himself with rods at the
Eleusinian mysteries. And yet he is a
mighty singer AS Oscar Wilde said
of him;
And he hath been with thee at Thes-
sally,
And seen white Atlanta fleet of foot
In passionless and fierce virginity
Hunting the tusked boar His hon.
eyed lutte
Hath pierced the cavern of the hollow
hill,
And Venus laughs to know one knee
will bow before her still.
And ne hath kissed the lips of Pros
erpine.
And sung the Galilaean's requiem,
That wounded forehead dashed with
blood and wine
He hath discrowned, the Ancient
Gods in him
Have found their last, most ardent
worshiper.
And the new Sign grows gray and dim
before its conqueror
lie Temps. the great Paris journal,
makes the following announcement:

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
full and ambitious French theatre has
been announcing that 1t has reached the
height of indecency. I wish that one OF
them really would reach those glitter
ing heights some day and then direct
their energies into some other channel.
The Scotchmen seem to be the gods of
the hour among the devotees OF ephem-
eral literature just now, and the gen.
tlemen who were last year wearing
Trilby neckwear are cultivating bonnie
briar bushes in their coat lapels. Mr.
Ian Maclaren and Mr.. Crockett have
written some very fresh and satisfac-
tory stories. They are all in dialect,
er. not understanding them, will not
recognize their faults and will take
their virtues for granted. Seriously,
though, they have virtues and very pro-
nounced ones. They are simple and
they are direct. They are full of the
quaint patho0of a sad people and the
dim landscapes Of a bleak country. But
pathos In itself is not greatness There
are some facts and conditions that are
in themselves pathetic, such as poverty,
loneliness and death. A mere newspa-
per account of them is pathetic. That
Crockett and Maclaren handle this ele-
ment Of pathos simply and without be-
coming maudlin, is greatly to their cred
1t, but / doubt IL IL gives them any very
high rank In literature. 1 doubt il local
color alone ever gave real greatness to
any man. There is a sameness and mo-
notony about the work of these two
Scotchmen that all too plainly asserts
their limited powers and limited imagin-
alton. Apparently. living has taught
them but few lessons, that life is sad,
that the world is Scotch and that crea-
ton is made up principally of heather
and bonnie briar bushes. Local color,
as kipling once remarked. is danger
Gus weapon. 1t is the element of wo-
men, they seldom write about anything
else. The greatest artists, like Turgen-
eff, have always used it with an almost
niggardly care. There are places in
novels where you can fair
ly feel him refraining from assisting
himself by somber Russian landscapes
and the thread-bare. pathetic Russian
peasant. Certainly Mr.. McLaren's most
ardent admirer cannot call him versa
tile. One likes to read about sound.
active. healthy men of the world some
times, and not always about a collection
Of melancholy freaks. There is a weari-
some sameness about the romances of
old men and old women and boys and
spinsters. who should have married and
did not. The world is really not respon-
sible for age or celibacy and gets tired
Of having the romances of these sad old
people thrust forever in its face And
then in these plaintive Scotch romances
the men are always preachers. 1 won
der IL the population of Scotland is en-
tirely made up of preachers? One
thing. these Scotch story tellers will
do, they will supply the Sum
day school libraries for generations to
come.

speakers will be prcsent.-Lcader.
The more Of such meetings that we
have the longer will the day of renewed
prosperity be delayed. They are not
held for the good Of labor, but for the
purpose of agitation and for creating a
spirit of unrest and dissatisfaction in

then comes strikes, lockouts, business
depression and hard times. Our labor
aeitators should be promptly suppressed
just as any other disturber of the peace
would be suppressed.

We have heard good deal about
Puritanic administration in our local af-
fairs lately. This cry is made only by a
demagogue or a boodler. No one has
asked for Puritanic system from any
one. All We have ever asked for, is
that the laws we have be en'orced. If
man steals he is punished. Why ?
Because the law SAYS he must not steal
If saloon man runs his business after
IL o'clock p. IN. or on Sunday we want
to see him punished. Why? Because
the law says he must not do so. All we
ask of Alderman Howe is that he en-
forces all the laws enacted for the gov
eminent of the city. Nothing more.
Nothing less.
