Is AIdrich a Poetg

Special to the Globe.
By what eanons of literary taste does the
o b pronounce T. B. Aldrich a poet =?
One might expect such judgment emanating
from the yunphilosophical Minneapolis Jour
nal, but certainly not from the Glob e.
with it's broader mental horizon. Aldrieh is
not even mentioned in the college catalogues.
The only contemporary poet who is recog-
nized in the U. of NJ catalogues is the late
Whiteomb Riley and certain other popular
idols are merely rhymesters, entirely innocent
OF imaginative compass and lofty sentiments
whose feeble offerings would pass unnoticed
IL composed in the form of prose. The rank
OF poet is not determined by his apparent
popularity with the multitude. Longfelow
who occasionally hovers about the dividing
line between poetry and prose. commands
vastly more readers than the unapproachabIe
Shakespeare. Surely the editor could not sign
his name to any of the insipid emissions OF
our so-called poets. OF course he has read
Macaulay'S essay Robert MONTGOMERY 8
turkey-carpet poetry.
The G o b e suggests that Aldrich's critic
was refused admission to the columns Of the
Century, But is 1t not true that one may
be good critic and at the same. time5a bad
poet? 1t Is limited in high quarters that the
chief of poets, Shakespeare, might possibly
have made great blunders as critic A critic
needs taste and some imagination but not
necessarily creative genius.
There is altogether too much of the 'tpat-
ting the shoulder and hail fellow well

school children and silly women. Give them
due praise for respectability But do not flat

MARY WAS TOO TRUSTING.
Sorry She Lent John $500 and Her
Affections.


John P. Lund was arraigned in the
municipal court yesterday on a charge
of obtaining money under false pre-
lenses, the complainant being Mary
Olson. The case was set for Dec. IA,
at 8 o'clock. Bail was fixed at $753.
If the allegations in the complaint are
true, then Mary cannot appear before
the public in any other light than that
of a cruelty wronged woman. 1t would
seem that she was passionately in love
with John, who appeared to recipro-
cate the lively sentiment which she
manifested for him, and Mary lavished
all the wealth of affection in her young
heart for him.
The complainant alleges that he had
Mary as means Of accomplishing the
same. Nov. %, as the plaintiff AYERS,
John, considering things ripe for a
decisive movement, asked her in q
yearning way to be his wife.
Mary appeared to have been waiting
for this question for many weeks, and,
with all the ardor of youth, she an
swered yes. According to her, John
fixed the marriage date, and, as she
had no reason to believe that he was
trif1ing with her affections she lent a
willing ear to all suggestions as to
their mutual welfare which he chose
tC make. John was just half out nf
FUNDS and he needed the money with
which to carry on an important bust
ness enterprise, SO he asked Mary how
she was fixed financially. She replied
that she had $500 in the bank, which
she had carefully saved out Of her
earnings. Claiming that he would
make it all right after marriage, John
induced her to loan him the amount,
so she claims. Then, too late, she dis
covered that he was married and
learned from his own lips that he
could not be hers

COLLECTION OF DEBTS.
Would Have Laws for That Purpose
Repealed.

To the Editor Of the Globe.
However much may differ from
you on many points, 1 want to
say that your editorial under the
head of Gambling Going On" has my heart
lest approval. 1t is hard to realize to what
an extent gambling in some form is carried
on in this country. The desire to 'get some
thing for nothing, or much for little" has got
to being almost universal. The gambling
spirit is responsible for all schemes for
protection" that have ever been proposed
The manufacturers wanted to ''get much for
little just as much as the free silver men
did, and both of them still have the same
desires. The money lender wants chance
to get higher rates for their capital than
they or anybody else can make it earn so
they all favor a currency secured by bonds
and thus force the people to pay interest ON
money that Is not needed for business
You have several times referred to e'The
Legal Tender Infamy'' and favored abolishing
the legal tender quality of all money Will
you please explain how bills could be coll
lected by legal process, where there Is no
contract unless something is legal tender?
Would not every one be almost compelled to
have written contract for everything he sold
unless he had perfect confidence in the one
he sold to?
the legal tender qaulity of something Is to
abolish" all laws for the collection of debts
and depend only on honor" Credit would
be extremely restricted, interest rates much
lower, speculation almost eliminated from or
binary business transactions and Drobah1v
far less lesseS made than now. Legal tender
would no longer be needed

claimed any intention to talk partisan poll
ties but assured his hearers that confidence
was necessary to prosperity. The price of
wheat was low. but he predicted better
prices soon. and even increased prosperity
next season. as the shortage in the wheat
crop of the world would accrue to the bene-
mt of the farmers of this state as time
progressed.

HE FLOORED ONE MAN.
G. n. Anderson Could Not Handle
Two Highwaymen, However,

G. R. Anderson in the employ of Moren,
the tailor, residing at Twenty-fourth street
and Tenth avenue south, is the latest citizen
to suffer at the hands of highwaymen. He
was walking home about o'clock Friday
night on Tenth avenue south and had Just
reached Fifteenth street when two masked
men with their voices toned down to the
proper pitch of gruffness, jumped out from
the shadow of a building and with drawn
guns commanded Anderson to halt.
Then, although Anderson had not cent
or other valuables on him, he did what many
other men have foolishly done in like cir
cumstances, he struck out boldly with his
right hand and with such good effect that he
landed one highwayman in the gutter
But nothing daunted, Highwayman No. 2
immediately struck Anderson stunning blow
across the head with the revolver and the
latter went down all in heap.
Then the robbers hurriedly went through
his clothes and left without finding any
thing to reward them for their trouble. An
derson started to his feet and called wildly
for the police. but not a guardian of the
peace could be found for blocks around

In Minneapolis. Last night shortly after 10
O'Clock ]. f. Avery, a medical student, and
son of DR.. Avery, of the health department
was walking south on Nicollet avenue, with
nothing on his mind but the idea Of reaching
home as soon as possible. He was not looking
for trouble or thinking Of trouble and there
fore did not expect any. Shortly before he
arrived at the corner of Fifteenth street
he saw two men and woman on the cor
ner near the Free Baptist church engaged in
conversation. This was nothing unusual and
he would have thought nothing of it IT, as
he was about to pass the group, the two
men had not showed revolvers in his face
and commanded him to hold up his hands.
Mr.. Avery. like a sensible young man.
held up his hands while one of the highway
men put his gun back in his pocket and
proceeded to go through the clothes Of their
victim. All that was forthcoming was so cents
and small gold watch. These the robbers,
male and female, took and departed, leaving
Mr.. Avery to think it over. He Immediately
went to nearby drug store and reported
the matter to the police, describing the men
as being short, wearing felt hats and hand
kerchiefs over their faces for masks.

TWO PROVINCES CLEARED.
Insurgents I'm Havana and Pinar De-
Rio Scattered

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12-The arrival
of Gen. Weyler at Havana has been
communicated to the Spanish legation,
the circumstances being substantially
those given in dispatches from Havana
In addition, the fact is made known
that Gen. Weyler,. having brought with
him two squadrons of cavalry, trav-
ersed all the region of Pinar del Rio
province and thence through Havana
province, which it had been said
were overrun with insurgents. The suc-
cessful march of these two sqnadi1ons,
headed by the Spanish commander, is
accepted as showing conclusively that
these sections are comparatively free
from insurgents, and that their forces
are in no such numbers as has been re-
ported. Concerning the reported de-
tention Of the ship Laurada at the
seaport town near Valencia, Spain, no
special significance is attached to the
subject, except as indicating a pur-
pose on the part of Cuban sympathiz-
ers in the United States to arouse feel
ing on the ground that the ship is an

commercial transactions.

senior de LONE, Spanish minister was
at the state department today and it
Is understood that his main purpose
was to confer with Secretary Olney re-
gardlng the Laurada. No announce
ment has been made of the attitude Of
the United States, but there is good
reason to believe the officials of both
governments will act together to pre-
vent sensational developments and TO
keep the Laurada from an enforced
entrance into a Spanish port, where.
IL Is belleVed, her entering is designed
to stir up conflict and possible riot
among the excited populace.
capt. Hughes, who was indicted at
Charleston, S. c., is no longer with the
vessel, but she is said to be still the
property of Messrs. Hart & Co.. OF
Philadelphia, who owned her through
out the filibustering~ prosecutions.
AS an evidence of the superstition
that the Lauradas movement to a
Spanish port Is designed to precipitate
some indignity to the American flag
which she flies, it is pointed out that
she has chosen to go to the Spanish
port, which has shown the most ex.
element during the present trouble.
1t was there that student riots were
aroused and an excited mob threw
stones at the Americana consulate. and
allegations are made that a Cuban.
formerly connected with the Cuban
junta at New York, headed this demon
stration at the American consulate,
with view to stirring up a conflict
between the two governments. This
fact is cited in connection with the
arrival of the Laurada, as the same
man. it is asserted here, is arousing
a popular. demonstration against the
Laurada, hoping to cause an insult to
the American flag which will provoke
a rupture.
The foregoing is the view made
known to the state department author
tiles here. The Spanish authorities
claim that they have full right and
power to maintain the peace at Valen-
cia and prevent riot by denying entry
to the Laurada.

some evidence before it was allowed and Mr.

the work done for which he had charged the

In asking for information. it developed that
Mr. Arctander had secured a Judgment OF
$20O, GOO against the stockholders, which case
was now in the supreme court for the thru
and final time. The attorney thought that
about GOO would be realized.
We'll, the creditors will not get anything
anyway, will they?'' asked the court.
