Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1898-09-07

The REPUBLICANS of this Legislative
district are unanimous for the return
Of Senator Davis; and there is grow
ing sentiment among the opposition
that he should be retained at his
present'p post. He is one of the most
conspicuous public mon of the day
and brings the state he so prominent
ly represents before the world as has
no other senator before him. The
voters of this legislative district in
favor of his election will cast their
votes for Senator Jones, as we'll as
for Foss and Schain. They are the
Republican nominees for the legis-
lature and at the session next winter
will cast their votes for him. Let the
voters reflect that a vote cast against
one of those candidates is a vote
against Davis.

PUBLIC OPINION
Reflected by Exchanges

Editor Donnelly, hasz evidently
been called in to prescribe for the
fusion ticket and its chief ornament
Judge Canty. At any rate the caus.
tic red paint artist of the Representa-
tive thus diagnoses the case and
touches the pulse of the patient
"He (Canty) would destroy ! fifty
parties, and sacrifice the whole
human family to help CAVITY. He is
sharp, active and shallow. He wrote
a book upon the money question,
called "Horse Sense," which any re-
spectacle horse would be ashamed to
father. If he had named it Ass
Sense" it would have been about
right. He proposed to settle the
issue between gold and silver by
mixing a dollar of gold and silver
fused and melted together! ! No
wonder he is fusionist. He is run-
ming now as the candidate of a party
very much like his fusion dollar-a
compound of incongruities.--Grant

There was time when Albert Berg.
the present efficient secretary Of state
and republican candidate for re-elec-
ton, was not so we'll thought of as
now among republicans throughout
the state. At present he is very pop
ular and gaining in public favor
every day. This leads many to the
question. why the change in senti-
nent in his favor? There can be but
one answer for there is but one
feason--his superb business qualifica
lions. He is at at all times ready to
do the business of his office and does
t in such ! way that those who come
in contact with him mark him the
right man for the place and say so
when they get home. That is the
way that he has secured the support
that he has all over the state and we
predict his election this fall will be
~ much larger majority than
lsual.- Willmar Argus.

DRAMA AND LITERATURE.
Their Distinctions and the Relation Of
the One TO the Other.

Their Distinctions and the Relation Of
the One TO the Other.
The painters have long protested
against any judgment of their, work
in accordance with the principles of
another art, and at last they have
succeeded in convincing the more
open minded of us that what is of
prime Importance in picture is the
way in which it is painted and that
its merely literary merit is quite
secondary. They are not unreasor-
able when they insist that the chief
duty of picture is to represent the
visible world, not to point a moral
or adorn tale, and that in the ap-
probation of a picture we must
weigh first of all its pictorial beauty.
Nor are the sculptors asking too
much when in a statue they want
us to consider chiefly its plastic
beauty.
Now, the orator and the dramatist
ask for themselves what has been
granted the painter and the sculptor
they request that an Grafton or a
drama shall be judged not as litera-
ture only, but also in accordance
with the principles of its own art,
and here the literary critic is even
less willing to yield. He may ac-
knowledge his own ignorance of
perspective and of pigments, of
composition and of modelling; he
may confess that here the painter
and the sculptor have him at dis
advantage, but he is not ready to
admit that he is not to apply his
own standards to the works of the
orator and of the dramatist.
On the contrary, he maintains
that the speech and the play, if they
belong to literature at all, are, by
that very fact, absolutely within the
province of the literary critic. He
cannot see why that which the ora
tor and the dramatist may write is
not to be read and criticised exactly
as that which is written by the nov
elist and the essayist and the poet.
Indeed it is almost a misrepresenta-
ton Of the literary critics attitude
to suggest that he has need to main
tain this position, for it is rarely
even limited to him that he is not
fully justified in employing the
same tests in every department of
literature
Yet nothing ought to be clearer
than the distinction between the
written word and the spoken, be
tween the literature which is ad-
dressed to the eye alone and that
which is intended primarily for the
ear and only secondarily for the
eye. 1t is the difference between
words written once for all and
words first spoken and then written,
or at least written so that they may
be spoken. When this distinction is
seized, it follows that oral discourse
is not necessarily to be measured on
the same scale as written discourse.
It follows also that the speech and
the play may be very good indeed,
each in its kind, although they may
fail to attain the standard of strictly
literary merit which we should de-
mand in an essay, a story or a
poem. = Professor Brander Mat
thews in Forum

NORFOLK, Neb., Aug. 17-tSpecial Tele-
gram. The Third district congressional
convention Of the fusion parties was held
in this city last night, and at about 6
o'clock this morning John s. Robinson Of
Madison was nominated for congress by the
democrats and the populists. The free sill
yer republicans refused TO endorse the NOM
nation and adjourned expressing their de-
termination of having Samuel Maxwell, the
present incumbent, run independent.
The plan provided by the fusion bosses
called for a Joint convention Of the three
parties when the time for balloting should
arrive. Numerous conference committees
were appointed and much time con-
sumed in preliminaries after the three
conventions had each been organized in
separate halls, and majority and minority
reports referred to the conventions and much
wrangling and considerable bitterness re-
suited. The latter was particularly notice.
able in the free silver convention. The
democrats and populists finally met in Joint
convention, and the nomination of John s..
Robinson was the result. The delegation 5
of two counties, Dixon and Cedar. declined
TO vote on roll call, but nevertheless the plan
of the leaders as mapped out in advance was
carried through.

CHICAGO, Aug. 17.-Another blow has
been struck at the Canadian Pacific by the
Chicago-Sr. Paul roads. At this season
there is always an exodus Of farm laborers
from Ontario and eastern Canada to Mali-
tobs and this year it is larger than ever
before, over 5000 passengers having been
hauled in one week. Formerly the Cana
dian Pacific had a monopoly of the business.
II was able TO load its trains with eighty
passengers TO the car. Now the American
lines have gone in as competitors for the
business and have succeeded in diverting a
large amount Of the business via Chicago
and St Paul. Last night 400 of these pas
sengers were brought here by the Grand
Trunk special train on the Milwaukee &
ST. Paul took 200 OF them 10 st. Paul and
the others were divided up among the other
roads. Similar parties will be brought here
tomorrow and August % and more may be
brought later.
