A Candid Critic.

1t is not generally known that the
present shah of Persia is not only a
prose writer Of considerable merit, but
has also some pretensions to the charac-
ter Of a poet. Like the German king
who, according to Carlyle, declared
himself to he above grammar, 80 does
the Persian monarch consider himself
above criticism. Yet, like all poets, he
is glad to lend an ear to it when it is
favorable.
One day, however, having completed
a poem which particularly delighted
him. he deigned to read it to one of the
most prominent men-of letters attached
to his household.
What do you think of it!" he asked
after reading his verses aloud.
II do not altogether like the poem, -
was the candid reply.

Piled the offended sovereign, and there
was certainly much wisdom in the royal
words, for the misguided critic was
forthwith ordered to the stables to be

A few days later the shah, having
written another poem. once more desir-
ed to hear the opinion of the learned
scribe whom he had consulted before.
Hardly had. he read 8. few lines Of his
latest Incubation when the learned man
turned abruptly away and prepared to
run out of tho room.

THE G.. A. R.

The twenty-ninth annual encamp-
ment of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie closed last night at Louisville.
Resolutions were ADOPTED at the Ma
tienal Encampment yesterday declar-
ing it the sense of the G.. A. r. that all
old veterans should be favored by civil.
service boards and that such boards
discriminate against those heroes OF
the civil war on account of their age.
Another matter of interest was the
adoption of resolution fsvoring the
placing of flags upon every public
school building and introducing OF
military drill in the public school cur
riculum. Resolutions were adopted
asking Congress to make an annual ap
preparation to defray the expenses of
conducting Memorial Day services in
national cemeteries. The committee
on pensions protested against what it
called the "grudging doing out" of
pensions, and demanded q liberal con-
structiou of the pension laws in order
that the pensioners might get "the just
due which the country gladly con-
cedes." The report was unanimously
adopted. A resolution was adopted re-
commenting that Congress should pass
q law equalizing the pensions of war
widows, SO that all shall receive at least
S12 month. Some of them are now
receiving from IS to $40 month.

The BOND SYNp1oATE.-In respeo

The BOND SYNpIcATE.-In respect
to the gold engaged in New York yes
terday for shipment by to.day's
steamers the bond syndicate makes the
following statement:
"The impression has become general
that the members of the bond syndi-
cate entered into an agreement with
the United States treasury to. maintain
the 800, coo, GOO reserve until October
l, prox., and that upon that date said
obligation will cease and terminate.
Such is not the case. The bond syn
dicate fulfilled all its obligations to the
government in June last and has not
since been bound in any way to the
treasury. 1t is true that it has from
time to time since June last paid over
various sums in gold coin to the treas
ury. which have suffioed to maintain
the reserve, but it has done 30 volun-
tarily and will continue to do SO in the
same spirit and for the same motive.
So far as October is concerned it has
no relation to the action of the bond
syndicate and it will continue to de-
post gold until the LIST of November,
and the lat of December, and the LIST of
January, if necessary, and If existing
conditions make it feasible TO do 30.
But neither the bond syndicate nor
anyone else can control the ele-
ments. But the idea that its relations
to the treasury situation will be any
different on or after October i. from
what they are now and have been all
along, is erroneous and should be cor
rected.N
