WHO WROTE THEMg

We now have it over bis own
signature that Sir Walter Scott
did not write the Waverly
novels. The genuineness of the
letter cannot be doubted, and
his denial of their authorship
IS plain as language could
make it. Bryan says it is 16 to
I that Bacon wrote the Shakes
pearan plays. The critics as
sure us that Homer is a myth,
snd that Christ never preached
tie Sermon on the Mount. The
scraps from "burning sappho's"
pen have been pronounced
bogus, and it has been demon
stFated that if Moses wrote the
Pentateuch be did so long after
he was dead. Mrs. Cleveland
stands accused of writing her
husbands messages, while the
Speeches of the Queen emanate
from her prime minister. We
cannot even be sure, in referring
to the Chicago convention.
Jones he writ the platform :"
Whittier are we driftinga In
this wild wreck of literary
worlds, the wholesale icono-
clasm of authors, can we lay
