CRITICISING GENERAL HAIR
RISON.
HAIR

Ex-President Harrison has been sub
jected to considerable criticism because
he advocated the interests of the big
corporations against the demand Of the
people for lower railroad fares. He is
said to have received a fee equal to
his salary when president. He is ac-
cused of lobbying for the railroads be-
fore the legislature, and the like. At
last the matter was taken up by one
of the cloth, a Methodist minister, who
has the largest congregation in In
dianapolis. During the course of a
sermon a Sunday or two ago he said:
Monopolies Cypress and rob the peo-
pie, wealth is too unequally distributed
Great corporations debauch the public
conscience. There are 1855 miles of
street railway in our country. and
these are bonded and stocked for
about $4,000 a mile. Would not s. geo
a mile be a reasonable expenditure?
Why, then, this additional theft and
burden of $4,000 a mile2 Why So Geo.
600 of stock on -, 0o0 of property IRE
ferring to the local company)2 And
when an outraged people are held by
the throat and robbed of an amount
sufficient to pay the dividends upon
this outrageous sum, how the soul of
the patient longs for the men of '76.
Shades Of Jefferson, of Patrick Henry
and OF Washington, once more appear
and write new declaration of indie
pendence against such unjust tyranny
Can anyone imagine the president Of a
street railway company approaching
George Washington and offering him a
$4,000 fee 30 justify such an iniquity
and defend such an outrage upon the
rights Of the people?
All this is declared to have been
aimed at the ex-president. Perhaps it
may not all have been anxiety for the
public welfare and there may have
been just a little religious pioue to
prompt so great a display of patriot
ism.
How far man may go in selling
his ability to defend a corporation or /
a person is a fine ethical question. but
the American people do expect that a /
man who has been president of the
United States viii exercise the finest
ethical judgment in engaging in legal I
or other business. This they have a |
right to expect. It is not probable
that ex-President Harrison has done
anything to disappoint this expecta-
ton

AMBASSADOR HAYS COURT
DRESS.

Ambassador Hay is being hauled over
the Goals for having worn a regulation
court dress al a royal function. Thus
the Denver Post says it had expected
better things of the ambassador. and
that the Notifying experiences of the
Chesterheldian Breckenridge at the
cars coronation shrould have given
him pause in his mad career. The
Post says it may. of course be said
that certain costumes are prescribed
for such court functions. but as a mat
ter of common sense. it wants to know
what authority exists to prescribe a
costume for an American ambassador
representing the entire American peo-
PIE in an official capacity. beyond such
costume as good taste and a decent
respect for the prevailing fashions
would dictate? It says we have no
court dress in America. and that people
here TO every public function wear the
clothing in use today; that if they had
the hardwood to fix themselves up in
knee breeches and their scarecrow con-
comitants, the good sense Of the people
would boot them into the Atlantic
ocean. It Is all very well to say that

A BALLAD OF THE FLEET.-45o
B. C.

When We loosed from blue Piraeus,
Under the Violet Crown,
The sun hung over the masthead,
Like Pallas above the town;
The sun hung over the masthead,
And the land lay on the lea.
Where the gray eyes of Gdaucopis
Were the eyes that followed me.
We sailed away to the southland,
Where the maids are born 10 kiss,
We saw the daughters of Pharaoh
When We lay at NaucTatis;
And their eyes shone like Sciences.
But all that they said TO me
Was The gray eyes of Giaucopis
Are the eyes that shine for thee"
We cOasted the Great Kings country,
We looked on the Asian girls,
We saw the flash of their white arms,
The toss of their coal-black curls;
But out of their songs and dances,
The message that came to me,
Was The gray eyes of Glaucopis
Are the eyes that watch for thee.
Sometimes when the night wind whimpers
And whistles among the SparS,
And the sullen raindrop solashes.
And wet mist dims the stars.
At sight of their fearful beauty,
l think of q harbor quay,
Where the gray eyes of Glaucopis
Are the eyes that weep for me.
AS oft in the summer starshine
We lctter among the isles,
We can see the town lights twinkle
And beclxon across the miles;
But behind them and beyond them
A city l seem TO see,
Where the gray eyes of GlaucopiS
are the eyes that beckon me. 5f

when in Rome do as Romans do, but
in this case is involved really dear
principle which has its essence in dem
ocratic simplicity and that profound
seif-respect which should guide every
American who goes abroad in a repre-
sentative capacity, declares the Post.
It then goes on TO say that the pic
ture OF Colonel Hay in his court cos
tune will materially lower him in pub
lie estimation on this side OF the water;
that the spirit of opposition at the bot
tom of it is as far removed from DEM
agosuery as it is from fiunkeyism;
that people feel their national seif-re-
specG invaded by such exhibitions as
that made by Minister Breckenridge
and Ambassador Hay; and that they
admire manly respect for the customs
and ceremonials OF whatever court
their representatives may be accredited
to; but they do feel that our ministers
and ambassadors represent plain peo-
pie, who glory in their democracy, in
the fact that each individual, as no.
where else, is a potent factor in the
affairs of government, to unmake or to
make. who affect no antedeluvian or
searecrow styles in dress, and who feel
they should be represented by men who
stand for the Integrity, the glory and
the aspirations OF this country in their
own high character without the mere
tricious aid Of court dress which would
hanish TO humiliating obscurity anyone

II no worse dangers beset the republic
than the court dress of Colonel HAY,
there would be no cause for apprehen-
sion. In the case of Mr. Breckenridge,
1t was wear the court dress or not at
tend the coronation ceremonies. How
it was in Colonel Hays case is not
made plain. If it was optional with
him 10 wear a court dress or not. then
he is deserving of all that is being said
of him. If it was not, then he is not
deserving of it. A predecessor of his,
James Buchanan, very soon settled the
matter in his case.
There is reason to believe that Col
onel Hay would not cfafe at an order
requiring a court dress, for he has
shown disposition to cut very wide !
swath in London. he having assumed
to call the United States embassy the |
American embassy. and himself the /
American ambassador instead Of the
United States ambassador. He is not
ayerse to display, and a court dress is
a grand display.

Thackerv In Good Society.

J. E. Chamberlin in Nineteenth Century:
I remember hearing in Boston from
one who was alive at the time, q queer
story of Mr.. Thackerays visit 10 that
town. Mr.. Thackeray brought from Eng
land a letter Of Introduction to an i'm
portant gentleman of Beacon street. By
him he was most Hospitality entertained
and passed from dinner party to dinner
party. But Thackeray's interest in the
capital of New England did not end with
Beacon street dinner parties. He had
heard something of the eminent men OF
the town. and at that moment hap
pened to be particularly interested in
Theodore Parker. He wished very much
to hear this celebrated Unitarian
preacher. He mentioned his desire to
his host The Beacon street gentleman
seemed much surprised. but. without
abatlng any of his outward courtesy, and
making some valid excuse, took him to
Kings chapel on Sunday morning, in
stead of TO Music hall, where Parker
preached. At Kings chapel. the Beacon
street gentleman said people of the best
society might always be found.
mild-mannered man. not fond of a
struggle to free himself from his enter
tainer's clutches. He saw that 1t was i'm
possible for him to get on Sunday TO
Music hall But during the week he
heard that Parker was to deliver dis
course at a funeral of a rich and public
spirited merchant. Thackeray went alone
to the funeral, and was greatly interested
and thrilled by the address. He also saw
many people who looked as IL they We're
more interesting than any he had seen
at the Beacon street dinner parties. He
went home that afternoon to dinner, and
found that his host had invited to meet
him several gentlemen of the best So
Thackeray could not help telling about
Parker and the funeral, and confessing
how much he had been impressed by the
preacher and the people. His host was
visfbly distressed, and presently man
aged to whisper in his ear, Il beg of
you Mr.. Thackeray, to remember that
Mr. Parker does not belong to our best

What mean. nasty. able man Editor
Dana of the New York Sun is. For
instance: The Democratic party has
been committed since 1896 to what is
in effect a general war on wealth and
business. The fortunes accumulated
under the protective system are too
small portion of the hoard to deserve
any special anger from the Bryanites
They have seen the impossibility of
making other than a protective tariff.
did they desire to do so. but they have
more important work en- hand. They
want to debase the currency, to get
control Of the supreme court, to ;rn-
pose special taxes upon the rich, to
keep the federal courts and army from
protecting the property of corpora
tons and citizens. even in an armed
rebellion against law. What mighty
results would follow If they should
carry their points. The tariff is an in
significant thing in comparison. The
Bryanites, are not breaking their heads
with worry as to how the government
revenue shall be obtained Private rev.
enues are what they are concerned

The Denver Republican does not be-
lieve that any substantial progress has
been made by Senator Wolcott and his
colleagues in the direction of interna-
tional bimetallism up to the present
time. 1t is, it says. true that the En-
glish government has granted an audi
ence to the representatives Of this
country and France. and has taken the
proposition submitted under considera-
ton. but nobody believes that England
is DISPOSED to substitute bimetallism for
gold monometallisgn. either now or at
any time in the visible future.

The New York Tribune, in comment
ing on the sugar schedule, says that
one fact is frequently overlooked in
considering this problem OF rates,
namely. that the regular session of con-
grass next winter can speedily remedy
any defect which results in harm to an
American Industry, but cannot as cas-
lily reduce a duty which cannot be
proved TO be higher than safety re-
quires. If a low diferential in favor of
refining should be followed by increased
Importation Of bounty-paid refined
sugar. as some apprehend, that fact
would prove the need of a higher duty
and the possibility of raising a larger
revenue. A special act to remedy such
a defect, after definite proof. could be
passed without much doubt or diff
Guilty. But If the duty should be fixed
somewhat higher than is necessary or
wise. it would be practically impossible
to obtain definite proof of the fact. and
the attempt to reduce a duty by special
act would be attended with the utmost
difficulty. All things considered. it is
better for the Republicans to err on the
side of safety. as respects public opin-
ion OF their action. and it viii hardly
be denied that there is some risk of
d.sfavor and loss in adopting meas
ure which adds more than sixth TO
the market value of sugar stock.
There is no question that the leading
Republican papers are very much wor-
ried over the sugar schedule. lest it
come back to plague the party at the
elections in 1897.
