must suffer for the wrong which it has
done; the wrong that can never be OBJ
liberated. This is remorse, and Poe
impresses on the mind its gloom and
its power, by means of painting the
surroundings in colors as dark and
tragic as the theme itself. Charles
Dickens employs the same method !.
Recall any of his novels. and notice
that achenerer he fcrites Of tragedy, ne
describes stormy night an London.
Each time one sees the clouds lowering
over the oppressively vast city and
hears the rain dripping, dripping on
the wide stone streets and sees the
street lamps Pickering and f1aring IN
the darkness, and beholds the black
sluggish water of the Thames flowing,
flowing with all its ugly secrets toward
tie ocean.
Thackeray, and George Eliot
abjure this method. They. consider
it theatrical and STACEY. Tragedy
is enthroned IN the human heart and
surroundings, neither add to it MOI
detract from it. The skies may be
ever SO bright, and the earth filled with
sunshine and flowers, or the day may
be gray and calm when Hetty Sorrel
approaches the scaffold to pay the pen.
atty Of numbering her baby. the
anguish of her soul is too deep aud vasi
vast to be affected by the weather.
| W hen George Osborne tells Amelia
goodbye before the Battle of Waterloo
it makes no difference to that devoted
wife whether the parting takes place in
cyclone or in the hotel at Brussels. II
| is like tearing out-her very heart. for her
to give him up at all. and she will be
as miserable IN ball room as ina
cave. When Othello smothers BESIDE
monia the stars are shining lambent,
bright and clear in the heavens, but
the agony of his heart is greater than il
there were an huge eclipse of sun and
moon.n That sympathy of nature
would be relief to him; but this peace
fulness increases the tumult of his soul.
Without turning to external objects
for aid, Thackery, George Eliot, How
ellis and Shakespeare use the tragic ele-
ment in literature with more force
than do Edgar Poe, and Charles
Dickens; therefore they are the
greatest writer's. Hence we con-
clude simplicity is the highest outcome
of culture and real tragedy, is indie
pendent of dramatic surroundings.

The New Orleans Picayune thus
describes the Populist: 1.-The typi-
cal Populist is best described as a
man who attributes his failure to
prosper to the tyranny and corrup-
ton OF the government, and who
proposes to provide an escape from
the hardships Of his lot by increasing
the power OF his oppressor. For the
most part his theories are vague; but
his animus is essentially identical
with that of the Socialist, who is At
war with established institutions and
the existing order Of society"
