Then through the throng were seen the great

State were stationed on each side OF the short
flight of steps leading up from the altar to the

generals with drawn swords.
The first OF the Imperial party to appear was
the Dowager Czarna mother OF the Emperor,

Empress wore a crown and an Imperial mantle,

THE LATEST NEWS ABOUT SYM
BOLISM.

The decadent spirit of the age, say
the Paris correspondents, has acquired
a new habitation. Literature and art
were not sufficiently intimate express
sions of it, and it has now embodied
itself In domestic furniture. The
prophet of this new incarnation of de-
cadence is one M. Carabin, who says
what he has to say to the world in the
shape of chairs and tables. Now. as
all students of early English and East
Indian furniture already know, very
fine and noble. as well as very subtle
things can be expressed through these
mediums. But NJ. Carabin- has nothing
of this nature to express He claims to
work out of the same inspiration which
has produced the school OF the SYMBOL
lists in literature and art, and. as NAV
readily be imagined. his results ara
somewhat extraordinary His furni-
ture is deliberately carved, but his
carvings follow no known lines OF

ON A SUPERIORITY OF EXCEL
LENCE IN FICTION.

In bright but embittered essay in
the Lotus, Mr.. Walter Blackburn Harte
attacks Ian Maclaren because his
books ARE not pictures Of human life
anywhere" Such work as his, says the
young critic, belittles the worth of love
and sacrifice, integrity Of mind and
truth, by making them appear COM
mon possession, whereas we know there
is but one true man in ten thousand
81 never met so many generous, vir-
tuous, self-sacrifcing people in my life
in two hemispheres as 1 found in Mac
laren's little Scotch village" Mr.. Harte
declares. Goodness, he argues, is
achieved at a tremendous cost to hui
the price that is paid for 1T, and giving
each CLEAN of goodness it's due setting
of sordidness and black selfshness,
that we can rightly estimate it's worth.
This is a novel point Of view and an
interesting contention, but it seems to
US that Mr.. Harte's tacit assumption
that, while we are reading it, a piece
Of literature Is all that we know about
life, invalidates his arguments. Fiction
is always selection. There Is no such
thing as the creation Of cosmos in
literature, and any writer's work nee
essarily involves large reference to the
knowledge imbedded In the readers
consciousness. The readers OF "The
Bonnie Brier Bush are not in the least
likely to be led into error about the
per cent of rectitude in human nature,
for each mans own heart, as he reads,
furnishes the background Of sordidness
necessary to throw the traits depicted
into high relief In precisely the same
way we are left as unframed by the
realists as by the romanticists, for we
correct too hideous presentment Of
existence by our own consciousness of
a fundamental joy in life. Writers of
fiction have far less influence over our
basal conceptions Of what the world
and the people in it are like than they
fondly imagine. 1t Is only the very
young who can possibly be led very
far in either direction by them. If,
however, we are forced to choose be-
tween black and bitter realism and
an impossible idealism in our fiction,
give us by all means the latter, as long
as there is the slightest possibility that
in some small measure we may be
shaped by what we read.

representations of writhing human fig

corner to give flavor to the compost

though a fool, can see that, while M.
Carabin's execution is marvellous. his
conceptions are repulsive. And so it is
that the reduction of the symbolists'
inspiration to the form of chairs and
tables is a gain to the cause of sanity.
for when once it is made evident that
the fundamental notion of any artistic
movement is not beauty, that move
ment is doomed to a speedy end
And, as the craftsmen are taking
symbolism up. the litterateurs are
abandoning it. M. Maeterlinck, the
prophet of al symbolists, who has been
riding the bicycle diligently of late,
is reported as saying to his latest inter-
viewer: AS to symbolism, my dear
fellow, doesn't it strike you that it Is
being overdone? For my part, 1 am
tired of it, and have accordingly de-
cided to do something quite different
in my new play which 1 am now writ
ing"

the cult is, of course, final. The SYM
bolists have had their brief day of
repute, and it is passing, as every
fashion in art which is unrelated to
beauty must pass. M Maeterlinck.

the right and wrong Of 1t are fairly hid
den in a confusion which it may not
be base for us to suppose it was in
tended to create. For whatever was
done in this matter from first to last
somebody else. We do not find that
there is anything strictly or technical
ly illegal in the transfer made by Gov
Clough. We do find in the whole his
tory of this matter, from beginning to
end, that everybody concerned in it is
possessed and devoured by two forms
OF anxiety. One is that the railroad
company should not come out sufferer
in the long run, and the other is that
for each step taken responsibility
should be showed upon somebody else.
We find that executive action is de-
Tended by opinions of the attorney
general, and the opinion of the at
torney general rests upon decisions Of
a court, and all three of them run up
against the commissioner Of the gen
eral land Office. or the secretary of the
interior, or the Lord knows who at
Washington. Anyway, everybody al
ways has some splendid reason why he
acted just as he did, being compelled
to do SO because some other person
acted just as he did
But in none of these combinations of
act and motive does it chance that
either the railroad company or the
persons or concerns laying claim to
the lands through it ever come out
ter another and one official after an
other has dragged along with this in
demnity land business until 1T is as
difficult to fix responsibility for what
happened as it is to put your finger
upon the man responsible for some
curious transaction in a city council.
All the persons involved in the Hast
ings & Dakota business, including men
of both parties attempt to trace their
several actions to the opposite decisions
of Secretary Noble and Secretary Hoke
Smith. We venture to say, however,
that seldom has there been seen any
such solicitude for the preservation of
individual rights as has been displayed
from first to last toward this company,
ity has always been in dispute.
