'.Adyices from conservative sources
lead us to believe that "A force of not
less than six hundred soldiers, prefera-
ply eight hundred, should be at once
available at I4eech Lake and vicinity. We
believe such a force needed not only to
rescue General Bacon and the survivors
Of his command, but properly to over
awe the agency Indians in whose profess
sion Of friendship and neutrality no one
acquainted with them puts credence. A
general outbreak at or around Walker
would probably result in the massacre of
many citizens. In a country as heavily

-ze Four Greatest Poets.

Who are the four greatest poets of the
world? The question was one, we gather
from Sir Edward Hamilton's mono.
graph, which used to exercise Mr.. Glad.
stone. About the first three places in.
deed he believed that there could be nc
reasonable question. They must be as
signed to Homer, Dante and Shakes
peare. But about the fourth place Mr..
Gladstone found geat difficulty. He
considered that there were four COM
petitors-Eschylus, Virgil, Milton and
Goethe. We wonder how many of our
readers would at a first guess select Mr..
Gladstone's final choice? 1t was Goethe.
Who, in recent days, have been the
greatest masters of English? This was
another question which Mr.. Gladstone
was fond Of considering. He decided in
favor of two as greater than all others
Cardinal Newman and Mr.. Ruskin. 1t
is interesting to recall the fact that Mr..
Morley, in lecture, answered the same
question. According to him, the great
masters Of English in our generation
have been three-Carlyle, Macaulay
and Mr.. Ruskin. The last named alone
appears, it will be seen, in both lists.-

A PROBLEM TO FACE

Our contemporary, The Express, crti-
cises rather sharply Rev. Dr. Bliss, who
has been preaching Christian socialism
to large audiences in Los Angeles of late.
The gravamen of the charge is that DR..
Bliss has gone altogether too far in
declaring that the whole fabric Of So
ciety and government is rotten to the
core, and that it must be overturned
before we can hope for better conditions.
Well, does our neighbor wish to as
sert the logical alternative that our
social and governmental fabric is sound
to the core? Hardly.
The fact is that both social and indus
trial conditions are badly out of joint
all over the world, and in this country
they are urging US to a crisis with great
rapidity. What is the meaning Of the
tremendous aggregations OF wealth,
first in corporations and then in syn
dicates of corporations, known as
trusts? Was there ever a country in
which wealth concentrated so rapidly
and manifested such mischievous in
fuences as in the United States today?
And while the wealth is concentrating
in few and fewer hands, the great mid
| die classes as we'll as the laboring
masses are being forced down, and down,
| and down. A blind man ought to be able
to see this tendency of the times, and an
optmist would have to admit that it
must be stopped within some bounds,
and that right speedily, if we are to
avoid a violent overturning Of things.
If the country is wise it will listen
to the first ENJOYS of the new order of
| things, who, like DR.. Bliss, come with
olive branches in their hands. They are
the men to save us from dangerous ex-
| tremes.
