THATROBBER ALCOHOL.

Edward Everett Hale breaches
mighty temperance sermon IN the
close of article on the poet, Robert
Burns. He says:
"The English government of that
time has been much ridiculed because
for the noblest poet of the time, 1t
could find no gift but the office of an
exciseman. But it should be remem-
bered that, at that time, at least, no
one supposed that governments were
formed to provide for poets, or that
the provision for poets was one OF
their duties. We live in state of
high civilization, as we think; but
even with us, if you have man like
Hawthorne or Howells you have to
make him consul; if you have lady
who writes poetry you have to make
her a postmaster. 1t is fair to the
wretched ministry of the time to say
that Burns himself asked for the office
of exciseman, and it is more than
probable that the selection of the Of
fee was made by himself.
"And he died in his thirty seventh
year, so young! And we should have
had so many more treasures from
that warm heart and ready pen, that
sympathetic friend of everybody who
desired friend, if
off!
ssIf he had been able to resist the
temptations of liquor.
ssLet it be remembered then, that
men of his gift, men who have this
exquisite fiber of brain and sympathy
of heart are the special of this special
devil. And let it be remembered that
taste not; touch not; handle not;
seem to have been known, even by
pure and temperate men in Scotland,
in their effort to suppress drunken
ness. Such, men, if they counselled
poor Burns, only counselled 'modera-
tion.'
GAS if there could be moderation in
playing with fire!
cit would seem that no man, wo-
man or child, not the father who low
ed him nor the mother who bore him,
no one probably but his poor wife,
ever begged him or even asked him
to give up whisky, wine and all intox-
icating liquor.
"What would the pages of temper
ance literature be to day, had Robert
Burns been taught in his childhood of
the dangers to which poets are the
nearest? What would it be, had the
ready sale Of social glass been pro
hibited by law? What would it be
had he lived in social order where
gentlemen hate and despise drunk
enness? Where would it be, had not
all Scotland combined to defeat his
prayer when he asked the good God
that he might not be led into tempta-
tion?'

ford, where two little dogs, whose
master, Edward McDade, was drown

seen every morning trotting through
Milford and Oldtown to the ferry
landing where their master went into
the river, and then going back the
four miles home, after satisfying
themselves that he has not returned.

perature found to be 50. The magazine
was locked and the keys given to Cap
tain Sigsbee. The men went to their
hammocks in the forward part of the
ship soon after 8 O'Clock.
THE explosion occurred at 9:40 o'clock
and hence the awful and overwhelming
loss of life. No one can yet give con-
nected account. About ten men who
were in the forward part of the ship
were saved, and of these several had
their hammocks slung on the lower
deck. The explosion split the big ship
in two and threw these and one marine,
who was sleeping on the Superstructure

though naturally they haunt the minds
Of many Americans. They should be
entertained only on absolute compul-
sion. A spark of misdirected national
feeling might cause terrible mischief.
The attitude of Spain at this agoniZ-
ing moment will either efface the mem
ory of the De LONE incident forever or
revive it with added circumstances of
bitterness and evaporation that can
not be contemplated without shudder.
The calamity sends pang to every Bri-
fish heart"
The Morning Post in an editorial of
profound sympathy expresses the hope
that certain American Senators who
have allowed themselves to talk rather
wildly" will suspend judgment. The
paper does not believe in the torpedo
theory and thinks the disaster the result
of an accident, but it fears the real
cause will never be Unknown.
The Daily Chronicle says:
British sorrow and sympathy are lit
tie less vivid than if the casualty had
happened to one of our own ships.
1t thinks the theory that the boilers
burst absurd; and, after expressing the
opinion that there is mo apparent justi-
tication of foul play" it suggests that
some new and dangerous explosive,
which was on board with Il view of eX-
pertinent should an occasion arise, ex-
ploded spontaneously after suffering the
process of mechanical decomposition,
and so fired the magazine.
The Daily Mail says edit0rially:
lne suspicion of Spanish treachery
exhibited by section of American opin-
ion looks ill beside the account of the
splendid gallantry of the suspects in
saving drowning Americans, and it in
dIcates an ugly temper toward Spain"
The Times editorially expresses pro-
found sympathy with the United States.
With reference to certain opinions
heard in America" it says:
Fortunately for America and for the
world, the United States is not govern
ed by persons of this type
80 far not only the governments, but
the people of America and Spain have
acted with good sense, good feeling and
dignity. 1t is fervently to be hoped the
investigation will prove the cause of the
disaster an accident, although the con-
ditioDs which can have led up to such
an accident in such circumstances are
rather obscure"
