A leading Democrat of Colorado
writes to a gentleman in this city of
the necessity for the Democrats of Utah
guarding against surprises in the mat
ter of electing delegates to Chicago.
The letter is SO timely and so full of
needed warning that we give it YER
batim, emitting only the name of the
gentleman to whom it is addressed and
that of the writer 1t is dated at Den
yer, May IS, 1896. and reads as fol-
lows:
hope neither yourself or other DEM
ocrats of Utah will consider it imperti-
nent in me to call your attention to the
very great Importance of guarding
against surprise when your convention
meets for the purpose of selecting del
egateS to the national convention.
L would be very Notifying for any
one of the silver states or territories
to be misreDresented at Chicago and
most unfortunate for the silver cause.
The administrat ton forces are working
quietly everywhere and unless you are
VigiFant you may be beaten. The plans
of the goldbugs were we'll laid in Colo
RADIO, and although we beat them at
all points, we had to fight for it and
they were able to make They had,
thorough federal officials, set up the
pins for an administration delegation
and if we had not put forth all our
energy and strength we would have
been beaten. And yet their work had
been so quietly done that our people
knew nothing of it until the state con-
vention had been called. Believe me,
you cannot afford to ignore my warn
ing.
This warning is most timely and as is
said in the above letter, the Democrats
of Utah cannot afford to ignore it. It
is known that an agent of the admin
istra.ion is in this city bearing with
him letters from men prominent in the
party, who are only too glad to do the
bidding of Grover Cleveland. Let no
Democrat think that because the party
in Utah is overwhelmingly for free sill
yer there are no administration Demo-
Gratis in the state who will work to fur
Their Mr.. Cleveland's objects in securing
control of the Chicago convention in
the interest of gold. Every precinct
and county convention in the state
should see to it that none but true blue
Democrats are sent to the state conven-
ton. And when that convention meets
every man proposed for election as a
delegate to the Chicago convention
should be asked to define his position
on the financial question. General rep
utation won't do: everything must be
certain. The possibility of Michiganiz-
ing the delegation must be avoided.

YESTERDAYS SENSATION.

To say that the account in yester-
days Herald of what appears to be
murder. with an attempt to burn the
body of the victim, created a great
sensation, would be to state the case
mildly. That the supposed victim, Miss
Clawson, has been murdered, remains
to be proved. That she has myster-
iously disappeared is certain. The cir
cumstance of the heating up Of the
furnace at the little Scandinavian
church at that particular time is re-
markable. The finding of human bones
in that furnace after that fire, together
with a butcher knife and razors arid
metal attachments for wearing ap-
parel, is strong circumstantial evidence
that crime has been committed. In
its revolving character it rivals the
crimes of Holmes. 1t is the first of its
kind that has ever occurred in this
city.
There can be no doubt that a crime
has been committed. Who was the
perpetralor or perpetrators and who
the victim remains to be determined.

and more surely than any contem-
porary poet. He has a trained thirst
for nature; but his worship of nature
never weakens his reverence of man
and his brooding over mans destiny.
On the other had. he has little pas
sion. a small measure of drama tic
sense, but moderate gift of movement
or of color. and-what is perhaps a
more serious want-no sure ear for
melody and music. This concen-
tration Of poetry on ethics and even
metaphysics inv Olives very serious
limitations and much loss of charm.
The high merit of Arnold's verse
is the uniform level of fine, if austere,
thought embodied in clear, apt, grace
full, measured form. And we
must confess that in exuberance of
fancy in Imagination, in glow and rush
of life, in tumultuous passion, in dra-
matte pathos, Arnold cannot claim any
high rank at ALL
A very just estimate of Arnold S
poetry. But when poet has such
limitations as are here set forth he
is lacking in some of those very essen
tials that make poets great 1t is
because of these limitations that Ar
mold has never been popular A uni
form level of fine thought can be found
in prose writer's. thought as fine as
ever came from Arnold's brain Har-
rison tells us that Arnold's graver
pieces sound like some echo of the
imperial ''Meditations, cast into the
form of a Sophoclean chorus. The in
f1uence of the Roman emperor upon
the English writer was very great, so
great that when his son died he turned
to the fluctuations" for that comfort
and solace which most people at such
times find in the Bible. But most
readers will prefer Aurelian thoughts
in Aurelian language.
1t is doubtful if in all his poems
there can be selected passages such as
Arnold himself selected from Shake
speare and Milton, in his Introduction
TO Wards English Poets, as poetic tests,
which, eff we have tact and can use
them, are enough even of themselves
to keep clear, and sound our judgments
about poetry, to save US from fallacious
estimates of it, to conduct US to real
estimate"
1T would he idle to attempt to say on
which Arnold's future fame will de-
pend, his prose or his poetry, but it is
sure that on whichever it rests, it
will be high, not the highest, along
with that of Addison and Steele, for
few can expect to be classed with
Shakespeare or Milton.
1t will be long time before truer
or really more appreciative estimate
of Matthew Arnold's position in litera-
ture will be given than this one by
Frederic Harrison.

FREDERIC HARRISON ON MATTHEW
ARNOLD.

/ For some months past what has been
published about Matthew Arnold has
been in the nature of an estimate of
the man and not of the man as an
author. This is owing to the fact of
! the publication of his Letters which
are charming in the extreme and re-
veal the truly high and delightful
character of the man. But his place
in the world of literature will be fixed
by his prose works and poems. AS a
critic, his influence has been great and
will continue to be. His controversial
writings, such as Literature and Dog
ma" God and the Bible and others,
will have little interest for future
generations, while even at the present
day they have lost much of their inter
est save for the charm of their style
In a recent number Of the Nineteenth
Century there appeared most appre-
cfative and just criticism of Matthew
Arnold as poet, critic, philosopher and
tneologian, by Frederic Harrison,
critic of only less eminence than
Arnold himself
Arnold has contributed many words
and phrases TO the language of criti-
cism, terms that are so apt and neat
stock of all who pretend to knowledge
of literature and to express an opinion
on it. AS Mr.. Harrison says, how
could modern criticism be carried on.
were it forbidden to speak of culture"
of ''urbanity," of "Philistinism, of
"the note of provinciality," of the great
style?" Rather poorly, it must be con-
fessed. 1t was Newman who first used
that happy word mote"
Most of Mr.. Harrison's review is de-
voted to an estimate of Arnold as a
poet. AS prose writer his place is
among the very first, and will not be
challenged. Not so his place as poet
His poetry does not appeal to the ordi-
nary reader, the reader who has en-
deavored to find out the best there is
in literature and make it his own. 1t
is always correct, dignified. elevated,
but it everywhere lacks passion, feel
ing, the power to stir the soul to the
SHORTCOMINGS
and limitations. Arnolds poetry
maintains this unerring urbanity of
FORM says Mr.. Harrison. Perhaps if
it did not always maintain this .'un-
erring urbanity of form" it would be
more popular, appeal to wider circle
of readers, readers none the less APP
preciative and capable of Judging of
its merits than the select but small
circle of readers that now find so much
solace III his poems. Our reviewer saws
that the full acceptance of Arnold's
poetry is yet to come; and in order
that it may come in our time, we
should be careful not to overpraise him.
not to give him credit for qualities that
he never had.
What Is the estimate that Frederic
Harrison pnts upon the poetry of
Arnold? A few sentences from his re-
view win tell it better than any para
phrase. He has more general in
sight into the Intellectual world Of our
age, anG he sees into it more deeply

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.

Public attention in the matter of
presidential candidates has beer chief
ly concentrated on those of the Repub-
lican party. Now it is turning to Dem
ocratic possibilities. and principally
because of the great fight in progress
between the gold and silver Democrats
! for the control of the Chicago conven-
ton. At present it looks as though that
! convention would be controlled by the
silver Democrats This makes it inter
ing as to who will be the candidate
in that event
The most prominent prospective sill
yer Democratic candidates is Vice
President Stevenson. If the Illinois
delegation is for silver that state will
push his claims with much ardor
Iowa will come with a silver delega-
ton and will be for Boies. He is
sound on silver, but his rejected plank
would be somewhat against him. 1t
does not show unqualified loyalty to
the old ratio of 16 to 1.
If Indiana sends q silver delegation
to Chicago. that state will want Gov
ernor Matthews as the candidate. He
is free silver man, and his recent in
terviews in which he defined his posi-
ton has brought down upon his head
the anathemas of such goldbug pa
pers as the Chicago lTines-Herald. In
diana has usually obeen considered a
doubtful state and candidate from
there would be almost certain to put
- na,ooorat;o oot,,,op
Missouri may present Bland, good
man, but no presidential candidate is
likely to be chosen from that state this
year
At the present time there are no 9TH
er prominent silver men mentioned as
possible candidates, But these four
furnish enough to choose a good man

THE LOVERS PREPARATIONS.
When He Expected to Meet His Pro-
posed Father-in-Iaxy.

It was o'clock in the magnificent
capital of the greatest republic on
earth, and the cleaning, oh. my dar-
ling, had gone glimmering among the
things that were two hours previously,
say the Washington Star
A gaslight burned golden yellow on
the corner of one of the beautiful
streets leading into Dupont circle, and
an electric light burned silvery white
two blocks down the street, when an
ambulance from the emergency hos
pital stopped in front of palatial
residence in that aristocratic neighbor-
hood and backed up to the curb.
One minute, or perhaps less, after
the ambulance had stopped, hand
somely dressed young man jumped out
over the tailboard and started toward
the steps of the house.
AS he did so a policeman, strollinS
leisurely around the corner beyond, OBJ
served the ambulance and instantly
sprinted for it.
Say" exclaimed the officer in the
usual chaste and elegant, not to say
Chesterfieldian manner, of an excited
guardian of the peace, whats the
rnw?"
There isn't any-yet," replied the
young fellow, with a world of suggest
ed possibility in the way he closed his
answer with the word yet"
whats the ambulance for?' insist
ed the policeman.
For future reference" said the
young man evaSively.
'Thats not what they are usually
for" argued the officer, trying to get
at the true inwardnes Of the situation.
NO" and the young man drew closer
and spoke very conffdentially; mo, but
it's different in this case. You see,
I'm going to ask a young lady's father
for her hand and as the cid man isn't
stuck on me, I thought it might come
handy for me to be prepared for emer-
gencies.''
The policeman gave vent to his ad-
miration in a low whistle and waited
until a servant came out and told the
ambulance driver to go back to the
stable.
