of j. p. Schmidtman who had such
prominent place in the preparation of
the Wisconsin University publication

The sum of opinion appears to be this:
Democratic gains everywhere. The ma

The sentiment in favor Of the Chi

The attempt to secure international
bimetallism has proved a failure. and
it is now more apparent than ever tina

question. Free and unlimited coinage

The Turk in Real War

Edhem PaSha owes a sword of honor
to his master, the sultan, and a military
reputation to match it to the English
correspondents who Travelled with his
headquarters. Perhaps this is little to be
wondered at. These gentlemen saw the
Greeks retire whenever the Turks adj
vanced, and having never seen war,
which there has been no chance to see
in twenty-five years, concluded that the
rOut was due to the swift Greek compre-
hension of Edhem's overmastering
strategy. A different opinion was held by
a good many observers at a distance,
who saw in many things. particularly
the long delay after the capture of La
rissa, evidence that the direction of the
turkish arms was not such as would
nave. led TO success against a real army.
The Greek was merely the simulacrum of
one. Officers and men went into the war
as into a tableau vivant-prepared for a
passive pose in uniform.
Mr.. Frederick Palmer. who has contrib
uted to the current number of The For
rum the first study of the campaign from
the military side which we have seen in
American print. touches these Turkish
shortcomings at several points Of detail.
Thus, exemplifying the case Of Edhem's
task, he says:
IAN the surprises Of the Turks were
made by daylight. How much more com
plete would have been the paralysis of
the Greek army had the Turks appeared
before the heights OF Domoko at dawn!
IL lie IuThlSn OFFICER, now
ever, the chess board work of European
military science is a mystery. A night
march no more occurs to him to post his
pickets properly. He does not mind sac
rificing his men, and often does not mind
sacrificing himself. needlessly. Not until
after his breakfast-coYee and a cigar
cite or two at 10 O'Clock in the morning
is he ready to say to his men: IF you
love Allah, advance" be-
lieve that a continental army equal i'm
number to that OF the Greeks would have
sent the Turks back up the pass after
they had debouched into the plain of
Matt"
This is the view of a competent observ-
er who was longer on the scene than
any other. 1t accords well with what is
probably the most plausible estimate Of
Turkish EFFECTIVELY when put to a real
strain. That is hat the Turk Is still n
natural proficient in the art OF war-a
fact due largely TO his religions belief.
which provides sensuous enjoyment TO
the highest order to those who die in
battle. II Is, on the other hand. that the
Turk will not trouble himself largely
with the science of war: no more than he
will with the sciences Of peace. And war
annually grows more of a science and
less OF an art This is something, by the
way. which has a great deal to DO with
German military supremacy. It was the
German mind that applied most Of the
science observable in this campaign.-Ex-
change.

RELIGIOUS EDITORIALS FOR
SUNDAY.

For many years the position we have
taken in regard to the Westminster
Revised Version, issued in 1881, was
that it was a very useful work, a de-
cided help to a clearer understanding
of the Holy Scriptures, much Of a COM
mentary, and a necessary part of a
Bible readers equipment. We read it
for some years daily, out returned to
the Old Version, that of James, as it
is called. because Of it's beauty and
rythmical prose, and because long
reading had made us familiar with it
somewhat. We do not believe that the
Westminster Version will ever super
sede the other. There are hundreds Of
changes in the new Version which a
more complete critical apparatus, a
better supply Of Goddess and a more
thorough knowledge of the Hebrew n
Greek han hat possessed in the time
Of King James required. But unfor-
tunately many changes were mad
that were not imperative and to the
loss of the melodious and delightful

Some Of the critics have expended
time in essaying to trace some OF the
sources of Tennyson's poetry. We
lately mentioned that others have
sought to show how Shakespeare, Mil
ton, Burns and other great poets were
indebted to the a%ncients as we'll as to
poets Of later time. The same kind of
criticisms obtained even in the time Of
Greek poets. 1t is no new thing. No
great poet ever borrowed without
transmitting the thought into m and
more precious gold. In the recently
published life of Tennyson-a most
noble production-the great poet in
some letters to friends refers to pass
ing criticism upon his own supposed in
debtedness to poets who preceded him.
In one place he writes:
Il could multiply instances but I will
not bore you, and far, indeed, am I
from asserting that books as we'll as
nature are not, and and ounght not to
be, suggestive to the poet. I am sure
that l myself, and many others, find a
peculiar charm in those passages of
such great masters as Virgil or Milton
where they adopt the creation of a
bygone poet and reclOthe it, more or
less, according to his own fancy. But
there is, / fear, a prosaic set growing
up among us, editors of booklets, book
worms, index hunters, or men of great
memories and no imagination, who
impute themselves to the poet, and so
believe that he, too, has no magma
ton, but is forever poking his nose be-
tween the pages of some old volume
in order to see what he can apprOpri-
ate. They will not allow one to say
Ring the bell" without finding that we
have taken it from Sir P. Sidney, or
even to use such a simple expression
as the ocean "rOars," without finding
out the precise verse in Homer or
Horace from which we have plagiar-
rized it (fact).
He amuSingly tells in another letter
how he was criticised for not copying
nature when in fact nature was the
sourc and cause of the criticism upon
what he had written. He writes, and
1t is indeed suggestive:
when I vas about twenty or TWEEN
ty-One I went on a tour to the Pyren-
ces. Lying among these mountains be-
fore a waterfall hat comes down one
thousand or twelve ndre feet, I
sketched it according to my custom
them in these words:
"Slo~w-dropping wells OF thinnest lawn"
When I printed this, a critic informed
me that lawn" was the material used
in theatres to initiate waterfall, and
graciously added, "Mr. T. should not
go to boards of a theatre, but to nature
herself, for his suggestions" And I
had gone to nature herself"

Women in Finance

Lecturing on this topic before the
American Catholic Historical Society in
Philadelphia, Miss Agnes Repplier said:
I'VE exaggerate our present response
bility, fancying the wrongs of humanity
are waiting for us to redress them, and
we underrate our Importance in the past,
forgetting or ignoring the fact that for
the thousands of years in which the
child man. as Mrs. Grand patronizingly
calls him. has sailed his little bark
through the ocean of life we have sailed
it with him. sometimes steering him safe
ly in rough waters and sometimes up
setting the boat. The most lamentable
consequence of this mental confusion is
a tendencyto look after man rather than
to look after ourselves. to help him to do
his work. for which assistance he is most
ungrateful, rather than map out distinct
ly and practically our own sphere of
labor. to base our most strenuous efforts
of reform upon the past failures OF men
rather than upon our own past failures,
which are serious enough to merit plenty
of attention"
The lecturer believed that women have
a natural talent for affairs, even in the
face of the melancholy contradictions in
everyday life, and noted the character
and capacity OF French women who
were the heads and leaders Of business
In many forms. She said that figures
were. after all. only the outward husl.
Of fnance. and that the mans knowled1s
offgures did not for one moment give the
wife's knowledge of money and what II
can be. reasonably trusted to buy. The
lack OF training was to be deplored, as
in the case Of inherttances. which were
almost always left without proper safe
guards. the brother-in-law working un-
told mischief, the woman 5ecomin1 the
natural prey Of unscrupu.oue spectators
and roguea.
