FRANKLIN SOCIETY.

At the regular meeting OF the franklin
Society last evening, Mr.. Edward Fuller
read paper on Criticism and Culture >
He said that any word widely inclusive
| 10 hard TO define. And when we talk OF
culture, IL is more vague than when we
talk OF philosophy, or poetry, or religion
| However, he defined culture as in itself a
| point OF view--it implies the capacity
for Judgment from O standard that is true
to the facts both OF life and of art. With
out culture we can have no real criticism,
and without criticism we can have no
real culture.
There exists an Impression that culture
Is simply knowledge, yet one may have
untold accumulation OF facts, be expert
Ia scientific nomenclature, deeply versed
In historical learning, acquainted with the
best literature, and still be anything but
cultured observer. Culture is q habit of
mind, and not merely OF knowing things,
but OF looking at them in the right way.
lmlght recount to you the record Of many
things very learnedly, and yet not throw
upon them single CLEAN of illumination
Dir. Fuller's second definition OF culture
was that 1t is a criticism OF life. There
must be something besides the mere
chronicling OF facts to make of history
literary work. There must be the way of
looking at facts, the art Of combining, of
explaining. IL must have charm of style,
lie said there Is vast amount of
AuoWleuBe III tnlS COuutry-Our public
school system Is based on the grad grind
system of filling up the little pitchers
with facts. The main result OF this is to
create false atmosphere Of intelligence.
The public taste of the moment, untem-
pered by the matured verdict OF the criti-
cal few, is quite as likely to be wrong as
right; but In the long run the public
taste Is sound. Sitted by the process of
centuries, the public judgment stands.
The writers OF the day, who come from
the ranks OF thotimperfectly educated, |
never weary of proolaiming their entire |
emancipation from oil reverence for the |
past. They put forth novels, poetry, os-
says, in very ecstacy OF tluency, with |
superficial cleverness; thus we have a lit !
erature OF which 80 per cent. will bo for |
gotten before tho end Of another century. |
The education which teaches us to |
know that things are so without teaching |
us why they are so-the ethical system |
which shuts out of life most OF the inn |
pulses by means OF which life has any
charms for mankind-these are the two /
factors, then, which we must dispose of |
before We can hope to solve satisfactorily
the problem of higher national culture.
This lecture was the closing one for the
season, and the society adjourned at tho
call OF the secretary.

the caucus tonight, are hereby notified TO
go equipped with their Gatling guns, and
any other "o,d thing at all" that will serve
TO 90 battle, for the hottest time is
promised that this ward has seen for
long time. IL Is expected that nearly
every vote will bo challenged by one side
or the other, and II tho beligerents
40 not come to blows, it will
DO because large squad OF police will DO
there too. All Joking aside, the hench-
men oil both factions are hustling for all
they are worth, and every available voter,
OF whom II is suspicioned that
he may be inclined to stay at home, is be-
ing drummed into service. The North
End Is lively today with vehicles used for
thls purpose, and IL the Lovett ticket
wins 1t is predicted that the second dis
demonstration beside which the night
before the Fourth Will palo in compari-
son.
Queer and unfounded rumors are afioat
about attempts to assault Geneva Mills
operatives. 1t was reported that wCSnan
operative was assaulted last night while
gong nome. There is no truth in this,
Tor Captain Baker and Sergeant Thomas
followed the woman i'm question
TO her home and nobody made
any sign of assault, nor attempted
10 follow her. Ii Is furthermore believed
report OF an occurrence the night previ-
Gus is true.
AS the story goes, she was accosted
night before last by disgruntled woman
who used TO work at Geneva
and who called this operative
"scab." The operative squared
on" 1t is said, and knocked the other
woman down. She got up and wanted
more, 50 was knocked down again. The
police say no complaint has been
lodged with them, so they
cannot vouch for the report.
They do assert that while the officers
have been watching the operatives there
has been no trouble. Captain Baker is
doing all he can, but says that Of course
he cannot send policemen TO watch the
homes OF the workers night and day, nor
Is II TO be expected that the police are to
follow them wherever they go.
