Mr.. Leslie Stephen writes strongly,
but not too strongly, when he says in
reference to the correspondence of Pope,
"It is painful to track the strange de-
ceptions of q man of genius as detect
i've unravels the misdeeds Of an accom-.
plished swindler. Pope was confirm
ed liar, and he lied very hard indeed
about the publication of his letters.
Having by means of a trick secured
their publication by notorious pirat-
ical bookseller, he at once declared that
the letters were forgeries. Yet while he
was calling out for their suppression he
was really anxious for their sale. The
details of all his trickery and lying need
not be gone into here.
Pope, full of vanity and longing to
publish his correspondence, had pur-
posely employed notorious bookseller
to issue an edition in order that he
might then be able to say that the YER
sion was piratical one, and that in
self defense he must publish the genu-
inc text. The odd thing is that, though
the whole affair was exposed at the
time, it does not seem to have done
Pope any harm. DR.. johnson, indeed,
says that it did him good, and that the
nation was full Of praise for the admira-
BILE qualities Of candor. benevolence and
fidelity which the letters revealed. Here
is some comfort for any living literary
genius who has not yet published his
private correspondence. - Longman's

Wales Not . Faahion Leader.

Il Is not true, one now learns, that
the Prince of Wales is the leader Of
fashion. The heir apparent. in fact, is
not allowed to be aggressive enough to
be leader. One Of the proofs that he
does not lead fashion is that he wears q
silk hatwith a sack coat. 1t also proves
that he does not follow the fashion. The
real swells who do set the male fash
ions once resolved to make an innova-
ton during Ascot week. Sporting men
were dressing in light clothes and white
hats, whereupon all the men in the
swim appeared in black hats. black
frock coats and dark trousers. For some
reason the prince had not been notified

THE JUDGES REPLY.
They Agree That the Admission of
Witnesses VIII yitfnte the Election.

The following, which explains itself.
Is the reply OF Judge w. b. Martin
Mr.. w. w. Old and Mr.. r. 81. Hughes,
TO whom the judges of the approa CHI
Ing election referred for decision the
question of the legality OF admitting
witnesses to the count of the ballots
next Thursday night:
Mr.. e. ID. Bradford and others. Judees
of Election.
Gentlemen: We saw in the papens of
May 10 a communication of q large num-
per OF the judges OF election referring
10 us the questions, first, whether the
law permits the admission Of witnesses
as soon as the polls are closed and he
iore the poll books are signed and at
tested, ana second, whether, even II the
law does not distinctly contemplate II
their admission would be legal or not.
or tend in any way to vitiate the cleo
ton.
we have given the subject the thor
ough consideration that the flatterinp
confidence reposed in US demanded,
as follows:
i. We agree that there is no distinct
provisions In the law relative to the ad-
mission or witnesses to the canvass of
the vote, but we do not agree as to the
erect or the lack of such provision. two
OF us being OF the opinion that II is
u'Scretlonaiy with the judges whether
TO admit them or not at that stage
and one of us being OF the opinion tbat
the Judges have no right to admit Wit
hesses until after the vote is canvassed.
2 Though the law does not distinctly
provide for their admission, we agree
mat the mere admission of witnesses
to the canvass would not of itself viii
ate or affect the election.
THESE we understand to be sufficient
answers to the questions propounded
TO us. We do not understand that the
judges ask us anything more than orr
opinion ON these local questions. we
90 not understand that they ask orr
opinion as to the question of policy
whether TO admit the witnesses or not

the law leaves it to their discretion
