UNCLE TOMS CABIN.
Lowell Admired the Genius In It MOI

Lowell Admired the Genius In 1t More
Than the Moral.
It was the opinion of James Russell
Lowell, says Charles Dudley Warner,
in the Atlantic, that the anti-slavery
element in Uncle Tom and Dred stood
in the way of a full appreciation, at
least in her own country, OF the re-
markable genius of Mrs. Stowe. Writ
ing in 1859, he said: From my hab-
its and the tendency of my studies l
cannot help looking at things purely
from an aesthetic point of view, and
what valued in Uncle Tom was the
genius, and not the moral" This had
been his impression when he read the
book in Paris, long after the whirl of
excitement produced by its publication
had subsided, and far removed by dis
tance from local influences. Subse'
quently, in a review, he wrote: I'VE
felt then, and we believe now, that the
secret of Mrs. Stoves power lay in that
same genius by which the great sue
cesses in creative literature have al
ways been achieved-the genius that
instinctively goes to the organic ele-
ments of human nature, whether under
white skin or a black, and which dis.
regards as trivial the conventions and
fictitious notions which make SO large
part both of our thinking and feel
ing. y The creative faculty OF
Mrs. Stowe, like that of Cervantes in
Don Quixote,' and of Fielding in 'Jo-
seph Andrews overpowered the narrow
speciality of her design, and expanded
local and temporary theme with the
cosmopolitanism of genius"

writs of Mandate Against Secretary Kim
caid Asked For.
SALEM, Or, May 1.-Two suits ask
ing for mandamus writs to compel
Secretary of State Kincaid to audit
claims against the state and issue war
rants in payment thereof were fled in
circuit court, department No. 2, Marion
county, today.
E. D. Shattuck, circuit judge of the
fourth judicial district, is plaintiff in
one suit, and A. B. Croasman, mer-
chant of Portland, is plaintiff in the
other.
The petition for writ of mandate
in the case of Judge Shattuck is to en-
force the payment of salary due. The
petition sets out that plaintiffs salary
as circuit Judge for the state of Oregon
is $4,000 a year. payable quarterly; that
$3.50 became due April 1; that since the
quarterly payment became due, and
prior to beginning action, petitioner
presented duly verified statement of
his claim to the secretary of state, and
demanded that it be audited, and
warrant for the amount thereof drawn
on the state treasury; that the secre-
tary of state refused and still refuses
to audit the claim or any part thereof
or issue warrant on the treasurer for
the amount claimed.
1t is further alleged that the proper
state officials have duly and regularly
levied tax for the purpose of paying
the current and other expenses of the
state government for the present year,
and that the taxes are now in the
course of collection, the greater por-
tion thereof having been already col
lected and is in the state treasury.
The same general statements are set
out in the petition of Croasman, the
basis of which is that he furnished, at
the request of Superintendent A. N.
Gilbert, of the state penitentiary, sup
plies necessary for the maintenance of
the institution to the value of $40. An
itemized account, verified by the oath
of petitioner and certified to by the
superintendent of the penitentiary, it
is alleged, was presented, and the sec
retary of state refused, and still re-
fuses, to audit the claim or issue war
rant in payment thereof.

stice Proposed.

| ATHENS, May 1.-The legislative
chamber finally secured quorum and
held a sitting this afternoon, great
crowds filing the building. The pub
lie galleries were filled. The new min-
listers were seated on the government
| benches.
M. Ralli, the new premier. without
delay addressed the house. He said
the first care of the government would
be to reorganize the army. Without a
reorganization of the military forces,
it would be impossible to carry on war
and conclude an honorable peace.
Happily, the army, which was worthy
of a better fate, maintained it's spirit
unimpaired. The country might rely
upon it with confidence. He besought
the legislative chamber and the nation
to cooperate with the government.
Meanwhile the government asked the
chamber to agree to an adjournment.
NJ. Delayannis, who recently retired
from the post of premier, said that
there was no need of vote in the
chamber regarding this subject. There
could be no possible objection to an ad-
journment. In the name of his party,
he desired to say that all of the mem
bers present would give their whole
support to the new cabinet, as long as
the Turks occupied an inch of Greek
territory. The main object of their
solicitude would be to devise ways and
means to drive the enemy from their
country.
M. Philarlos said the princes ought
to be recalled from the frontier. The
crown prince was evidently too ia
tigued to lead the army. This remark
was followed by applause from the gall
leries.
One of the members of the chamber
expressed astonishment at the reports
of lack of action on the part of the
Greek fleet.
M. Bali then confirmed the detailed
reports received concerning the Greek
victory at Velestino. In regard to the
movements of the army in Epirus, he
said that the retreat had been orderly,
with the exception of part of the in
fantry, which had been infected by a
panic, originating among the inhabi-
tants of the villages. A motion to ad-
journ was adopted, general assent be-
ing given. M. Delyannis approached |
M. Ralli at the conclusion of the ses-
sion. The ex-premier and The new
premier shook hands. This incident
was heartily cheered. The members

Opal Found in Grant County.

While prospecting upon the noun.
tain back of Canyon City, Grant
county, searching for pocket lodges,
Clyde Lockwood and Ed Chambers
panned out a fine looking specimen of
opal, which glows with great bril-
liancy when held up toward the light,
and which would make magnificent
ornament If properly cut and polished.
The boys found the stone away up near
the head OF Long gulch, above the
mining bitches. Believing that there
are more in the vicinity of where this
specimen was picked up, they will
keep an eye open for opals hereafter

conference yesterday with the insur-
gent leaders at Paleokastro. The Gre

however, cut the discussion short and
reiterated that their motto remained

soon terminate. 1t is pointed out that
while Turkey was forced into the war
by Greek aggression and the counsel
of certain powers. she will not gain
any advantage by defeating Greece for
for the beneht of the Slav element

troops in Greece are all the Turkish
government could desire.

In his cell Gin Pom prayed, and pro-

He was attended by two Christian

when the moment came for the march
to the scaffold he neryed himself and
walked calmly up thesteps. He showed
no sign of weakness on the scaffold,
and lent his assistance to the fatal
preparations.
The crime for which he died was one
of the most atrocious in the history of
the Northwest. He literally hacked
his victim to pieces. His guilt was be-
yond question. He confessed last
night, expressing penitence.

of walls and floors and festooned with
dragging shreds of blackened strips of

DIET AS a MORAL AGENT.
Experiment introduced In q New York
Rsformatory.


A queer food experiment is being
tried at The Elmira areformatory, in New
York state, says the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. All civilized nations hold out
some induoement to the criminal in
confinement to sooner secure his release
from legal restraint. A certain amount
: time is always taken off for good be-
havior. The criminal has often been
aXhorted to this end by father, mother,
brother, sister and by others who had
his interest at heart. His manhood, his
future, his ambition and his hope of
!uick relei7e from confinement have
been appealed to, and in many cases in
vain. Now it is to the mans stomach
that the appeal is to be made.
The proposed experiment contem-
plates a somewhat enlarged scale of die
tary privileges, increasing from grade
to grade, from lowest to highest, so
that within due and proper limits of
Indulgence of the appetite by prisoners
in prison reformatory for crime they
2an out CT their own accumulations have
the privilege to select meal by meal at
their pleasure, provided always that
they keep their expenditure within the
limits OF indulgence allowed by the
government of the reformatory. The
prisoners, under the wage-earning sys-
tenn of the reformatory, rs it is at pres
ent must earn their living and keep
4 credit balance to their account, re-
spectively, in order to progress toward
their release by parole. A prisoner, to
maintain credit balance must needs
restrain, regulate and exert himself in
manner which accolnplishes and
shows his improvement; but hitherto
the diet rate has been inhexible. 1t is
believed that if more latitude is allowed
and the prisoner has chance of tick
ling his palate occasionally with mince
pie, juicy roast or other homelike
he will be more likely to make
an extra effort to reform. In other
words, 4 he has an inviting menu to
choose from for breakfast, dinner and
supper, he will get up and hustle and
be q man. -; e..

| the finance committee and arranged a
program for getting the bill into the
senate. According to agreement, the
| bill will be reported to the. full COM
mittee tomorrow, if the republicans
find they desire to hold it no longer,
and will then be passed on to the sem
ate as soon as the republicans make it
manifest that they have majority
favorable to its being reported.
Allison renewed his efforts to secure
consent to having the. bill reported
after tomorrow meeting without con-
ditions, but the democrats would only
agree not to insist upon holding the
bill in committee for detailed inspec-
tiou after the republicans had shown
they had clear majority in committee
favorable to the bill. Allison accepted
these terms.
This arrangement will throw the re-
sponsibility of deciding the length of
time the bill shall be held upon Sena-
tor Jones, of Nevada, who holds the
balance OF power. The indications are
he will not lend himself to any pro-
longed consideration OF the bill in COM
mittee. He practically said as much
to his friends. The democrats expect
thu bill will be held in committee two
or three days. After it is reported the
bill will be allowed to lay on the table
ten days or two weeks.
