Copperas merely precipitates solid matter

Politics and Commerclalism.

A manifest and increasing evil in
American government of late years has
been the control of offices and govern
ment policy by the power of capital cen
tered in trusts, corporations and similar
combinations. In the February Atlantic
John Jay Chapman traces the rise and
history of this Development He shows
that it has been the inevitable result of
the condition Of the country, divided into
two bitterly opposed parties, who have
been sustained by these corporations,
which contribute to both, control both,
and play each against the other for their
own purposes. He believes, however,
that change is at hand, the rise of citi-
zens' movements, of which the recent
struggle in New York is an encouraging
type, shows that the masses of the people
are aroused, and will eventually suppress
the evil. He demonstrates that our insti-
tutions were particularly susceptible to
this disease of commercialism, and that
the disease was acute, but that it was
not mortal and will be cured in the end.

Mr.. Choate spoke from the topic, "Our
Profession" and when once he had en-
tered upon its true meaning he spoke
with ring of belief which gave his words
perhaps the greatest charm of I'll. Of
Chicago he said that it had furnished
two of the greatest jurists of any day,
Abraham Lincoln and Lyman Trumbull,

memory was awakened in the minds of
his hearers OF the only rival Webster had

ty of the lawyers profession and declared

The Literary Will o. the Wisp.

In literature, as IN every other art, it
may be said that God makes two kinds
those who do things and those who know
how; and that though the former, if they
will, may attain some command of the
faculties of the latter, the latter, the men
who have only the keen appreciation of
the accomplished book, may sooner pass
through the needles eye than into the
blessed ranks of the real makers of litera-
ture. Such a law SO stated seems harsh
and dracOnic, Perhaps but so is the law
of the survival of the fittest, Of which it
is preamble. It's soundness is attested
by every appearance OF a magazine, with
it's unwritten record Of hopes deferred and
manuscripts returned; even in the print
ed pages one finds poems and stories
whose little glow and brightness seem less
due to spontaneous fire of inspiration
than to laborious blowing of a meager
spark of talent. We all know the men
and women, probably more of the latter,
who, being gifted with a keen enjoyment
of letters, make of themselves apprecia>
tive and penetrating critics: and then with
the common yearning of mankind for the
unattainable, must waste good paper and
good years of their lives in striving to
do by rule what God intended to be done
only by instinct. It is this spectacle
which keeps your man of sensibility al
ways supplied with tragedy, and your
man of action with his standing examples
of the follies of Literary fellers.'' The
one sees the poor struggler, his wagon
hitched to the STAR his worldly interests
perhaps dangling unmarked in the dust,
lavishing cheerfully the best of his life on
the hope of getting his name into the ia
BILE of contents Of a magazine or on the
back of a little Bodley Head book of
verse. And, on the other hand, the COM
Portable Philistine, the wooden manufac-
turer, or the railroad superintendent, cries
out with much scornful putting of cigar
smoke against the waste of human life in
pursuit of a thing that when you get it
leaves you with your hands full of air
