is a story Of a volunteer soldier In our
civil war. and the remarkable feature of
the tale is said to be its vivid portrayal
OF battle scenes. These are the perfec-
ton Of realism. battle itself say the
~claquers. most of whom. like Mr.. Crane
himself, seem TO be % that tender age
which precludes the idea that he or they
have ever seen war. Out of the fullness
OF their joy in this newly arisen literary
light they have feted him. have written
him up in syndicate articles. have pub
lished his portrait and have doomed
him in every possible style until even
people who read very few books are
familiar with Mr.. Cranes name
But now comes General McClurg, OF
Chicago. who IS older than MIR. Crane
and has been a soldier, inc who. after
reading the book. pronounces the tale
trash. it's choicest descriptions sheer
fies as a coward and a simpleton. If not
an actual lunatic. mo thrill of patriotic
devotion to cause or country ever moves
his breast, and not even an emotion Of
manly courage. Even a wound which ne
finally gets comes from a comrade who
strikes him on the head with his musket
to get rid of him: this Is the only Red
Badge of Courage which we discover in
the book" says General McClurg. mo
intelligent orders are given. No in
telligent movements are made. There
Is no evidence of drill, none of discipline.
There is a constant. senseless and pro-
fame babbling going on, such as one
could hear nowhere but In a madhouse.
Nowhere are seen the quiet, manly, self
respecting and patriotic men, Influenced
by the highest sense of duty. who In
reality fought our battles. No soldier
ever saw any approach to the battle
scenes in this book"
Mr.. Crane modestly explained to- an
interviewer recently that he drew his
idea of conflict from the football field,
and that this really was his inspiration
seems probable from the verdict of his
latest critic.
The whole affair is not OF general in
terest in itself, but serves to illustrate
the risk Of premature exploitation Of
genius. Mr.. Crane may possess genius,
but there are SOM advantages in the
old method of permitting 1t to make its
way by its own Irresistible force. The
public likes to do a little discovering Of
Its own.

MIR. CLEVELAND AND THE FREE
SILVER MOVEMENT.

-
Administration PAPER are quoting
with much approval Hon. Chauncey NJ.
Depew's recent remarks commencing the
firm stand Of Mr.. Cleveland on the
money question, OF. rather, on the silver
question. The silver question is only a
phase Of the money question: very i'm
portant one, il Is true, and the most
prominent one at present. but still only a
phase. Mr.. Cleveland deserves credit
for being on the right side Of this ques-
ton. but on other phases Of the money
question he has been very wrong, es-
pecially in his unqualified Endorsement
of Secretary Carlisle's vicious scheme
for substituting State banks of issue for
national banks. The Journal would not
detract an iota from whatever credit be-
longs to the President for his present
attitude Of opposition to the free coinage
of silver. but II should be remembered
that he is largely responsible for the
present agitation of that question. The
free silver movement is a direct sequence
and result of the attempt Of Messrs.
Cleveland and Carlisle 10 relegate the
~ 4tSStiOh W tnc rear W Oii2Sii6
the currency question to the front. This
they did by causing to be introduced in
Congress a series of preposterous cur
rency bills which. although they were
soon knocked to pieces and buried out
Of sight. started a popular discussion of
the currency question which led directly
up to and became an annex of the free
silver craze. Had General Harrison
been elected in 1892 with a Republican
Congress there would have been no at
tack on the national bank system, no at
tempt to re-establish the wildcat"
State bank system, no repeal of the Nc
Kinley tariff law. no attempt afterwards
to relegate the tariff question to the rear
by making the currency question promi-
nent, and. finally, no wild demand for
free silver imitation. 1t takes a Demo-
cratic administration to breed financial
vagaries. Messrs. Cleveland and Car
Isle ought to do all in their power to
stem the current OF the free silver craze,
for they are largely responsible for its
existence. and 1t has It's natural home
and greatest strength In their party.
