And it is library which any scholar

allows himself, is in literature. 1t need

value fiuctuates from day to day with
changes in the market price of silver
bullion. We do not need to say to a

who can hold when he pleases and
sell when 1t is to his advantage, who
takes all the profits.
Looking at the condition of silver
standard countries today; looking at
the curse which a deprecated currency
has been in all times and in all places,
we cannot conceive surer expedient
for increasing the disparity between
wealth and poverty, and for enabling
this same greed which our correspond
ent abhors to fasten and to fatten
upon the mass of helpless mankind.
The kind of reform that we need is
less legislation, the repeal of the acts
that look toward special privileges, the
rigid repression of monopolies and
powerful combinations that seek to
crush out competitors, and the secur-
ing for all men an equal opportunity
before the law. When that shall have
been accomplished, and the faith of
men in the miracle-working power of
tariff acts or money acts, or any other
kind of act to create value, to increase
wealth, to make men richer by taxing
them, to cherish liberty by taking
through the strong arm of the law
from one man in order to give to an
other, is forever abolished, we will have
made one mighty stride toward bet
ter things. Meantime, each man who
wants to see clearly and to do his duty
will be helped most by remembering
that it is the frailties and iniquities
of human nature that are responsible
for most human suffering and wrong,
and that a reform which is to produce
important and lasting results begins
with the Individual OF one thing we
may all be sure; that the evil and the
opportunities for evil that are visible
today could ask no better ally than the
success of the cause of free silver.

CONCERNING THE POEMS OF EMILY
DICKENSON. =.

The truth of the adage that zone
mans meat is another mans poison"
is never more strikingly illustrated
than in the matter of minor literary
preferences. Concerning the great
ones of Parnassus. two opinions are
not permissible. To the man who can
not read Shakespeare we have moth
ing to say, for he writes himself down
thereby as unworthy of consideration;
but when it is question of appreciat-
ing writer's of our own day upon whom
only temporary and provisional
Judgment has as yet been passed,
there is room for some very pretty
quarreling.
Apropos of the announcement that a
new series of the late Emily Dicken-
sons poems is about to be published,
a writer in the New York Tribune took
occasion recently to denounce the pop
ularlty OF her previously published
volumes of verse, and to assure the
public that their vogue was a sort of
temporary insanity; that the books
had long since been relegated to OBJ
scurity, and that the forthcoming
third series would meet with a chill
reception on it's appearance.
Now, as a matter of fact, the sale
OF Miss Dickenson's poems up to this
time has amounted to some twenty
thousand copies, a sale unprecedented
in the annals of modern verse, and
one which certainly indicates that the
books have, in popular phraseology,
met some want. The amount Of non
appreciation with which Miss Dicken-
sons verse has met is small both in
volume and force compared to the ad-
mlration which it has aroused. The
opinion of one reader of intelligence
and good taste in literary matters is
at least as good as that of another,
and, other things being equal, the pre-
sumption is usually in favor Of the
individual who is able to extract a
deep delight from some literary per-
Torrance rather than in the favor of
the person who cannot see what it is
all about, and scorns to make the
attempt. The burden Of proof lies with
the critic, and the fact that any given
critic is debarred by temperament
from approaching the rare quality of
the poems in question is the misfortune
Of the individual rather than the fault
of the poetry.
1t is true that Emily Diekenson's
poems are not easy reading" They
are too subtle, too singing in quality
and too irregular in form to commend
themselves to the vulgar, but twenty
thousand is surely large majority Of
the elect. The late William H. Hunt
once said: ut is easier to eat milk
toast than to play the violin, but it
does not meet the same want" There
are plenty of minor poets who are
more tuneful than Emily Dickinson,
but as their accounts with their pub
fishers show, they also "do not meet
the same want"

SOUND MONEY CLUB.
One is Organized at the Great
Northern shops.

A sound money meeting was held az the
Great Northern shops yesterday afternoon be-
tween and O'Clock. about 200 employees of
the shops being present. The meeting was
addressed by ex-Attorney General Clamp and
Judge Flandrau. The former among other
things, said that while there was an irreures
sible conflict between employer and empIoye
as 70 scale or wages, yet as against the out
SIDE world the interests Of employer and en-
ploye were interlaced and any policy which
meant ruin to employers as a class would be
destructive. to employees as well. He then
showed in clear and convincing way how
produce general stagnation and paralysis Of
all business.
Judge Flandrau said that one of the princi
pal arguments of the free silver advocates
was that the free coinage of silver would
raise the price of the neeessaries of life For
his part he did not see how such policy
could benefit any man who earned his daily
bread by his daily toll. 1t was to the personal
interest of every man whose capital was his
brain or his Drawn to be renumerated with
dollars OF the largest purchasing capacity
whether he be g professional man or q me-
chanic. All history demonstrated the fact
that while deDreciating currency meant an
increase in the price Of the necessaries of
life, the wages Of workingnen would not he

was worth 100 cents the world over was none

1t was into this hotbed that hun
dreds of thousands of boys were
thrown from 1851 to 1865. They went
into it immature, rndeveloped boys,
and came out in those few years pre-
maturely men. Everything in them that
made for good or for evil in their fut-
ure lives had had the amplest oppor-
tunity for growth What they have
since been is very. largely the result
of the conditions that surrounded them
then. Upon them was put all the
strain that usually falls on our boys
at a later and maturer. age. That, on
the whole, the result was good is
doubtless true. If there were evolved
a larger growth of qualities that do
not go to make good citizens. the con-
ditions of the peaceful lives to which
they returned served to check their
display; while the qualities of self-re-
lance, courage and fortitude remained
to aid them in. the conquest Of a
place among their fellow workers.

WAR, A DEVELOPER.

Charles O'Connor the noted lawyer
and the nominee in 1872 Of those Dem
ocrats who could not accept the nom
ination of Greeley, said, in an inter
view shortly before his death, in which
his success at the bar was commented
on, that he was sure that he could
have achieved the same eminence in
any vocation to which he might have
addressed mis- energies. He showed in
this that marked self confidence which
is the characteristic Of his race, and
which, in the same interview, made
him say OF 1t that no Irishman ever
doubted for a moment his ability to do
anything. But the facts are against
the assumption Of the lawyer, and a.
man is but the product of the devel-
opment of the germ Of character born
in him, helped or impeded by it's en-
vironment. The abilities with which
he is endowed are unequal in GUAM
tity and strength, and always there
is some leading one that dominates his
life and determines his career.
All those various traits which make
up what we call character develop
slowly under the mild stimulus of
home life and peaceful conditions. The
reliance OH parental support in which
the youth of peaceful times are reared
is not calculated to develop early
those traits that go to form what we

conflict for a livelihood and a compe-

himself to gain them, that there comes
the stress and strain that develop

through months past, and whose splen-
did enthusiasm during the last week
contributed the final element of sue
cess. While we are proud of all who
took a part in this great event, we
are most so of the women, whose COM
mittees left nothing undone on their
part, and whose labors not only in
the special field of womens work, but
spreading over the whole scope of the
entertainment, gave grace and beauty
everywhere. Without the work of the
ladies we could have had the frame
work of satisfactory week, but they
added, here as everywhere. the final
touches that appeal most strongly to
the aesthetic sentiment, and to the
soft hearts that beat behind the worn
blue coats of the nations defenders.
The secret of our success is found,
then, in the fact that there was little
talk and much work. Those who had
in charge the conduct of this encamp-
ment realized from the beginning the
magnitude of their commission, and
their labors were adequately proper
toned to it. The handling of
such an immense crowd by
the transportation agencies, too
without confusion or undue delay
and without serious accident, is high
compliment to their efficiency and to
the tremendous labor that has left
them, as many others, completely ex-
hausted. Our festival week, then, is
over; and it leaves behind it no drop
of bitterness. We. of st. Paul have
had a royal time as entertainers. We
