he feared that Mr. Rowbothams effort to make
Dante out debtor to an English poet is a fail
ure.
Another point which the author is too posi-
tive is the historic reality OF the so-caled Courts
NJ Love. Modern investigators differ on this sub
iect but Diez. the foremost scholar In the circle
OF Romance studies either past or present, gave
the weight of his authority to the assertion that
no such courts were known In troubadour times,
though there might have been something that
bore the name at a later day. just as spontaneous
and individual acts on the part OF famous mime
singers were made the basis OF hard and fast
usage BY the initiative mastersngers. One OF the
few men in England who defended the theory OF
Dez was Huefer long the musical critic OF The
Times" But he. too had the prestige OF init
macy with ancient Romance languages and liter
allure. Halam voted the whole subject tiresome,
described the Courts OF Love as "fantastcal
solemnities, where ridiculous questions OF meta
physical gaantry were debated by poetica advo-
Gates under the presidency and arbitration of
tain ladies'" and declared that he never had the
patience to make a full study OF the matter. II 1t
were agreed that these so-caed courts were, like
mock trials at the present day, an occasional d.
version there would be no dispute. But writer's
OF the class to which Mr.. Rowbotham belongs in
sist that these courts, at time when ordinary
judicature was almost chaos, were systematical-
" arranged that appeal possible from
lower to higher and precedents were binding and
records kept in due form. This theory must be
looked on with scepticism by any one who has
made study OF single real suit at law in the
times of the Angesn Kings in England. The
haphazard way in which the royal will trickled
through the mouths of judges and commissioners
and arbitrator makes the scholastic accuracy of
the Courts of Love an anachronism. The poets
WHO should have been deeply interested in these
supposed courts are precisely those whose writ
ings have been searched in vain for proofs that
any such Institutions existed. The argument for
the Courts OF Love depends wholly on the book Of
an imaginative scholastic. who called himself An

Restore the Duty on Wool.

The sacrifice under the WILSON, Cor
man regime of the protective duty i'm
posed by the Mckinley tariff upon wool
and woolens has proved a great mis-
take. In the ten months between Sept
1, 1893, and June so, 1894, or under the
Mckinley law, we imported wool to the
value of Si,S01 AL and woolens to the
value of $7Ss4,711; while during the
similar period under the new tariff the
respective sums were S2j,970,907 and
$23, ,0S2, ,510 increases of AL and 2G9 per
cent. 1t does rot need extended argu-
ment to convince any sensible man that
at a time when the government reve-
nues pay scarcely half the government s
running expenses, ii would be foolish,
If not criminal, policy to continue to en-
courage by low tariffs the development
of ithe foreign wool trade at the expense
of the home market. If the Fiftyfourth
congress is called upon to help the
Cleveland administration out of Its
financial hole, 1t should insist as the
first condition off it's proffer of statu-
tory relief that the Mckinley duty be
re-imposed on wool and woolens. I'm

Hcw to the Line.

There Is general admiral ton for the
straightforward and candid manner in
which ex-senator Warner Miller is re-
deeming the pledges EN- mbodied in the
Saratoga platform. At a time when the
Republican place hunters of New York
manifest a disposition to play double
with or evade the excise question, Mr..
Miller stands up fairly. frankly and
marfully for the platform of his party,
and fears not to trust to the conscience
and character of the good citizenship
Of the Empire state, regardless Of
party His speech at Cooper Union the
other night has been like a tonic to
the perplexed Republicanism of our
neighboring state, recalling It's scat
tered senses to a realization of mex
orable duty, and frightening none but
the tricksters who can never compre-
hend the supremacy of principle and
honor over mere expediency.
The issued raised by Senator Hills
demagogic and irrelevant personal
liberty" speech must be met by the Re-
publlcans of New York, and met un-
fiinchingly. The Republican party can
stand defeat, should that be its tenn
porary doom, better than it can stand
a cowardly surrender of professed
principle. In its present shape the is

Republican the responsibility OF help

We place this confederation first for
