this would be one of the effects.

EVANS FOR CONFIRMING.

Mr.. Evans took the ground that it
was incumbent upon the senate to
confirm, and declared that no blame
could attach to the senate; the respon-
sibility would rest with the executive.
Several senators made remarks of
greater or lesser Importance, and then
Senator Smoot took the floor to speak
against the confirmation.
He carried out his intention, too,
and made a vigorous argument in sup
port of his position.
1t would be improper to confirm this
appointment in the light of past
events; would be highly un-Democrat-
ic. This senate was elected upon a
platform declaring unequivocally for
silver and was placed in power by
the votes of men and women who be-
lieve in silver If the governor wants
to make this matter a question of
politics LEI him do so, but the senate
should meet him and refuse to con-
firm, and if in vacation he sees fit to
appoint these men, let him bear the
burden of the responsibility and do
not throw the same upon Democratic
senate.

AGAINST CONTINUATION

Senator Hamer led off the argument
against the confirmation of Mr..
Nicholson on the ground that it would
be highly improper and impolitic TO
confirm this appointment of the gov
ernor, of a radical gold standard man,
by Democratic senate. Hamer made
a first rate argument, not only in the
opinion of the astral scribe but in the
Judgment of several senators who
afterward commented upon it.
SENATOR GAINES VIEWS.
Senator Game took the ground that
the appointee complied with the law
in respect to being a Republican, and
that under conditions presented it was
the duty of the senate to confirm. The
law provides that the board shall be
non bipartisan in character, and the
executive had made his appointments.
Mr.. Game held that when it came to
selecting Republicans the governor
had to choose men who were identi-
fed with the national Republican
party.
Aquila Nebeker, president of the
senate, is something of a humorist in
his way and when he notes a chance
to get joke on the other man, calls
to his assistance a peculiar twinkle of
his bright blue eye, which said twinkle
he raised yesterday as at this point he
inquired of the senator how he would
regard the position of the governor in
view of the report that he was under
stood to have voted for the Bryan
electors.
This caused some merriment, and
the answer of Mr.. Caine, not being
waited on the waves of clairvoyance,
is not made a part of history.

habltable by Europeans. showing that Brit
ish land hunger has been tempered with a
wise discretion as to what is the best.
The longtime policy of Great Britain has
been to want all the EARTH 1t had ac-
quired much before other European govern
ments became aware of British success in
absorbing the worlds land. When they be-
gan to find themselves shut out of the mar
kets of Great Britain other European ma
tons saw the Importance of Selling foreign
lands, and since that period the competition
in real estate has been very active. 1t is
not love Of conquest, glory or mere power,
or even the land hunger which melted rul-
ers to make war in the olden times, but it
is the desire, or rather the necessity of mar
kets in which to sell the surplus merchan-
disc Of the home plants and to purchase raw
materials that impels Great Britain, France,
Germany, and even Russia to seize Asia
and Africa and frequently to fight their
half civilized or jbarbarous peoples into such
subsection that they will agree to become
hewers of wood and drawers of water for
them. Most of the jealousies and conten-
lions between the governments named grow
out of disputes over divisions of territory
in Africa and Asia. For this purpose great
navies are being built and immense armies
are maintained. Great Britain and France
are talking of war, not because they care
for the glory of ruling Egypt or the Soudan
or disputed portions of Africa, but because
the markets of these countries are valuable
now and will become more important 1t is
not greater power or domain that causes
Russia to covet Constantinople, but because
such possession would vastly enhance the
commercial Importance of that dominant
power.
The governments which are gradually alb
sorbing the Orient those of Christian
nations or peoples The only potential ma
tons in the world are those whose peoples
are Christians, while the people that are
being plundered Of their territory are pa
gans. Even Mohammedanism seems not to
have power to maintain itself against the
spoilers. The Sultan would not last long
if those who covet his territory could agree
upon it's division. He has temporary po-
tency because Germany is his hacker and
Great Britain dare not be an open foe.
Just now the appropriation of the pagan
and barbarian earth is going on rapidly.
Africa, at the door of Europe, has been
divided but not without quarrels. France
has recently seized Siam. The vast but
decaying empire of China is being appro-
priated piecemeal by Japan, Russia, France
and Great Britain. More recently Germany
has appeared on the scene and appropriated
a slice. The distribution will go on until
China will be absorbed The next dissen-
sions of the Christian powers will be regard
ing their respective portions. Happily. the
partition Of China cannot but benefit its
millions

DISPOSAL OF HERRoN,s REQUEST.

The Heron bequest is likely to come
into possession of the Art Association be-
fore many months. and it is not too soon
to discuss the question of what is to be
done with it. Formal action will hardly be
taken before the fund is turned over to the
trustees by the administrator, but 1t is
understood that the association favors the
immediate erection of building which
shall itself be an art monument and shall
serve as a museum and repository for art
objects to be accumulated in the future.
This plan has it's merits, no doubt, but
also it's drawbacks. Such a building, prop
erly designed and constructed, would be
desirable architectural attraction, but the
Heron fund is not sufficient to do much
more than provide the bare structure, and
of what value is an art museum with
empty walls and vacant corridors? 1t is the
hope perhaps the expectation, of the asso-
citation that further gifts will be made, but
the mere existence of building yawning
to be filed is not likely to suggest such
gifts A building alone will draw nothing
to it, Apart from the Heron fund the as
ISOLATION has now no capital 1t may be
years before this capital is added to. Would
it not be advisable to hold the money UNI
touched, investing it's income in the pur-
chase of works of art until at least the
nucleus of a creditable collection is made?
With the $4,000 or $4,000 a year which
would probably be secured an annual pur-
chase might be made which would form
a far greater attraction than the finest Of
buildings alone. Paintings and statuary by
great artists would not only attract sight
seers, but students. Their temporary hous-
ing would be a matter easily arranged 1t
is around collections of pictures that art
schools grow up not around art buildings.
Let the purchasing be put into the hands
of an expert paid for his services, and IN
a few years, even without other aid than
the fund now in sight, the association
would have something worth building a gal
lery for By that time, in all probability,
the possession by the community of these
art treasures will have aroused enough in
terest to draw out other gifts. There is no
cause for hasty action. The specifications
of the Heron will do not. we believe, pre-
vent such use of the fund, and it is worth
while for the association to consider every
phase of the subject before making final
decision. 1t is also the right Of the public
to offer suggestions, since the bequest Is
for the public benefit.

of the Navy Herbert. while Governor Brad
ley claimed the right to designate his
daughter by virtue of authority from the
present secretary of the navy. Upon inves-
tigation it turned out that Miss Richardson
had not been formally appointed and that
Secretary Long had authorized Governor
Bradley to designate some person. This
made the appointment of his daughter legal,
and Miss Richardson. although she had is
sued two manifestoes on the subject, grace
fully subsidized. Now, however, Miss Brad
ley, who is attending school in Washington,
has written her father asking him as a
favor to appoint Miss Richardson. So the
question is still an open one. 1t ought to
be settled as soon as possible to relieve the
tension and enable the vessel to be

A Chicago justice of the peace has de-
cided that poets must be paid for their
work as well as bricklayers or hodcarriers
We have scriptural authority that the la
borer is worthy of his hire, and as society
is now organized there is not much danger
of forgetting it. The decision referred to
places poets on the same high plane with
laborers and brings them under the opera
ton of the same beneficent principle. And
why not? The writing of a poem, even a
very ordinary one, involves several phases
of labor. There is the labor of learning
how to write and spell, the labor of acquir-
ing poetical ideas, the labor of conceiving
a poem, the labor of putting it in shape,
and perhaps other forms of labor, not to
speak of the expense of a poetic license.
The Chicago justice probably took all these
things into account. The case before him
involved a claim for the payment of $l525
for the writing and printing of "A Wedding
Symphony" composed by the plaintiff in
honor of the defendants marriage. 1t APP
peared in evidence that the defendant ac-
copied the honor, but declined to pay the
bill. The poet only charged $40 for six
stanzas, the odd $5.25 being for printing.
The justice gave him judgment for the full
amount and costs. few such decisions
as that will put wedding poetry on a solid
basis and tend to elevate poetry in gen.

Mr.. James Whitcomb Riley's skill in the
use of dialect was never displayed more
strikingly than in his Doc Sifers,'' where
the 104 quatrains are in reality monologue
with an illiterate man as speaker. To car
ry the story through 400 lines with the
limited vocabulary belonging to this man
and yet to sustain the interest and avoid
the too frequent repetition of distinctive
words and phrases is an achievement only
to be accomplished by a master. 1t is true
that longer poems have been written in
dialect-by Lowell, for instance; but Lowell
did not trouble himself to make the thought
of his characters and their language har-
monte. Hosea Biglow" thought the
thoughts of a statesman and expressed
them for the most part in the words of an
unlettered farmer, but when the farmer
vocabulary failed the phrases of the scholar
were used-and misspelled. Much as dialect
has been used in literature in recent years
there is singular lack of understanding al
to its province, even among writer's. Those
who comprehend thoroughly the limitations
of the personages they undertake to depict
and allow them to say nothing out of char
acter are few, indeed, and it is the lack of
this balance that has made much of the
dialect that has appeared in periodicals,
particularly in the form of fiction, so irri-
tating to discriminating readers. Mr.. Riley
early mastered the secret of presenting the
homely speech of the uncultured but in
telligent countryman in the manner in
which it is uttered, and his art is we'll mani
