Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald
 Luverne Ala, July 3-The republicans of this county met here on June 3O and passed the following resolutions:
 Resolved, That the republicans of this county do not endorse any ticket put out by the popuist or democratic parties in Crenshaw county.
 Resolved That we pledge our support to the republican ticket nominated at Bir- nilngham, Ala.
 Resolved, That the time has come to cut loose from politicians who sell out the negro for a few dollars.
 This is considered as victory for the democrats, as an attempt was made to en- dorse the populist ticket.

Poetry and Meter.

Fortunately most modern critics leave
Milton unread, if not unwritten of, and
hence they are not called upon to essay
the dangerous, nay desperate, task of
getting an iambio scansion out of such
lines as
Burnt after them TO the bottomless pit"
"Shook the arsenal and fulmined over Greece.
Suffering, sustaining, quietly expecting"
"Fairer than feigned of old or tabled since"
1t must not for a moment be supposed
that these lines are instances Of Millions
carelessness. On the contrary, whether
right or wrong, they are the deliberate
results Of highly conscious art Mil
ton wrote the lines because they special
ly pleased his ear, not because he had
forgotten for the moment the tune "de
dunn, de dunn" When, then, our crit
les fall foul of our modern poets be-
cause their lines will not scan-by
which they mean scan iambically-they
are making an error in criticism and
attacking Milton and the Elizabethans
also. What they should attack is want
of melody, not want of the iambic fall.
The question is, Is the ear pleased? not,
Does the line go by a rule, which, aft
er all, is not really the rule? No doubt
many modern poets in their struggle to
get away from conventionality use
blank verse forms which are licentious
without being harmonious, and they
are of course to be corrected for such
faults. Let us. however, never condemn
a poet merely because his verse is not
as strictly iambio in structure as Dr.
johnson s Irene" 1t is part of poet 8
business to be perpetually trying to in
crease the scope and power Of the meas
ures he uses. 1t is better to fail every
now and again in such an attempt than
to keep always the beaten track of a
conventional and we'll worn prosody.-
