PROSODY VS.. PATRIOTISM.
"Harper's Weekly In It's New Manifesto
tin Of loryism.

From the Council Bluffs Nonpareil.
Nearly the whole of the last number
of Harper's Weekly is tinged with a
spirit of toryism, the like of which has
not been so plainly apparent in that
journal of civilization" since the days
when 1t opposed the war, and carica-
tured Lincoln. The older generation
who remember the dastardly course of
the Weekly during the trying times of
the rebellion are not astonished at the
course il has assumed in connection
with the Venezuela crisis, a course
which only has a duplicate in the rabid
utterances of the New York Evening
Post on the same subject Not only
has the mugwump Weekly taken an
editorial stand against the message of
President Cleveland, but most of hts
contributors take a whack at the ex-
ecutive. Prominent among these toad
les is the novelist. William Dean How
ellis, who relates his emotions upon
reading the Venezuela message. This
is his opening paragraph:
I'm common with the rest of the
American people l was greatly stirred
the other day in reading the presidents
message concerning the Venezuela
boundary dispute. / did not like his
having four relative pronouns in one
sentence toward the close of his mes
sage, and upon the whole the litera-
ture struck me as turgid and clumsy;
but l accounted for that by the excite
ment he must have been in when he
wrote 1t, and / felt a responsive thrill,
which took to be a patriotic emotion,
as l read IL. l recalled the behavior of
several disagreeable English people 1
had met at different times. felt a re-
surgence of the Indignation which the
treacherous attitude of Great Britain
during our civil war reused in us all;
l remembered the injuries done us by
that power during our colonial and
revolutionary period; and / am glad
that we We're about to extirpate, extin-
guish and exterminate her in behalf of
the South American continent l have
not a map by me. but the precise geo
graphical position of Venezuela does
not matter. and IL never did"
The whole article Is written in the
same insulting strain. With all due
respect to Mr. Howells and his perfect
knowledge of the number of relative
pronouns il is proper TO put in a single
sentence. II must be said that he by
this illumination forfeited the last rem
nant of respect due him as a writer by
the American people. We presume that
there were tories who wrote exactly i'm
this fashion of the Declaration of In
dependence. and of the constitution.
and the other fundamental documents
of our country. II is rather a pity that
some of the good old ways of punish
ing toryism have gone out of fashion
The Weekly is a tide-water and a
turncoat which long ago lost what lit
tie influence II ever possessed As for
Mr.. Howells he is reserved for the fate
OF cad who will put prosody above
patriot ism.

MRS. CODDARD'S CASE.
An Important Question to Be Deter
mined by Judge Mediation. :
AS TO THE INTERVENTION
A Fifty-Dollar Horse and a Trade
Get Into Court-Other. SuitsA
and Cases to Be Tried
Answers.

Judge Mediation will be called on this
morning to determine whether or not
Mrs. Sophia Goddard shall be debarred
from intervening in the big attachment
suit of w. A. Clark & Bro, against the
Kenyon Connell Commercial company,
because of a mistake made by her at
torney, Mr.. Shelton. The attorney Sc
cured permission some time ago to file
suits in Intervention in four attachment
suits against the Kenyon-Connell COM
pany, but through an alleged oversight
he neglected to file one in the Clark
case. the most important suit in the lot,
until after a default had been entered.
Yesterday he filed a motion to set aside
the default on the ground that 1t had
been prematurely entered and that he
was prevented, by inadvertence and
mistake. from filing the complaint on
the day preceding the expiration of the
time alleged to file 1t. Mr.. Shelton also
filed an affidavit in which he alleges
that the complaint in Intervention in
the Clark case was originally filed on
Dec 81, and afterwards in the cases of
the California Powder Works, National
Tube Works and Z. Schneider & Co.
Subsequently the last mentioned case
was dismissed, and on the 10th went to
the clerks office and asked one of the
deputies to file the complaints and was
given the papers In the cases. He
picked out three of the complaints, and
without examining them closely had
them filed. The next morning he read
the morning papers and saw that he
had filed a complaint in the Schneider
case instead of the Clark case, and he
hurried back to the court house to COR
rect the error. but found Attorney F.
f. Corbett there ahead of him, and that
a default had been entered in the Clark
case.
Deputy Clerk George Dougherty made
an affidavit that Mr.. Corbett had re-
quested him to enter the default at 1920
O'Clock in the morning and a few min
utes later Shelton came in and asked
to have his complaint filed. Shelton
claimed that his complaint had been
left at the clerks Office the day previ-
Gus, which Mr.. Dougherty denied. The
matter will be heard by Judge McHat-
ton this morning. f-.7 90

Touching Verses.


Touching Verses.
IL was a year ago this evening that the
great powder explosion occurred. One of
the sufferers OF the explosion has written
the following:
What means this line of cripples
Seen on our streets to-day?
Which tells of one sad. awful night
When carnage held full sway.
And carried fierce destruction
To many. many homes,
That equals any battle tale
Told of in musty tones.
For in yonder graveyard
VIII rest till Judgment Day
The bones OF many comrades
Whose souls have passed away.
Just one year ago tonight,
Since we heard that awful sound.
Whose thunders Jared Butte City's hills
For many miles around.
The horrors of that awful night
Sink deep.like poisoned dart;
The memories OF the anguish caused
Would melt the strongest heart.
We know ST. Peters watching
Some people OF great worth
In law. with its trickery.
Who laugh with murderous mirth.
Ger the power OF money.
Mingled with legal sway:
Ger many. many cripples
Seen on our streets each day.
In courts of justice
The laws for rich and poor
Seem somewhat slightly mixed.
To open wide prisons door.
To the rich man with his millions,
Which gives him legal sway
To lay many bones in graveyards
To sleep till Judgment Day.
Only Cripple.
