ing? Would the Times Herald itself un-
dertake to straighten cut the above stanzas
and subdue the prominence of the gram
matical fractures? Could these cracked me-
tres and lenses ever be put straight without
dislocating the thought? Would the poets
consent to such an operation? What could
be done, except to quote the verses ex-
actly as they stood. and point out their
salient qualities? If there was error in
this course, a full apology will be gladly
rendered to the rising and bounding poets

But the Times Herald itself makes one
remark to which exception can be taken on
the score of that truth which it so vigorous

Some time ago the 'Chicago Times Her

eulled from the joyous and ebullient inspi-
rations Of the poets of the Middle West
The Times, deeming il both unpatriotic ana
unappreciative to allow these lyrics TO pass
unnoticed by the country at large, made
extracts and accompanied them with com
ments, which, though they may have been
inadequate, were at any rate sincere. This
appears to have offended in some way the
journal which stood sponsor for the original
poems, and it now declares:
We consider il our duty to insist that the
homegrown poets Of Illinois shall have fair treat
Inent.
Then il goes on to say that the old rules
and regulations which obtain in the maga-
zine offices do not apply 10 these poets, and
that thought is all, and all is thought The
idea seems to be that instead of mildly re-
marking upon the wreck of the English
language which the ballads in question
seem TO have left behind them as proof Of
genius, we should have insisted upon recog-
nizing the genius and the truth, and let
the grammar alone.
Il is far from The Times intention to
crush or even to discourage any budding
flower of poetic talent which may be found
in the land. But in order 70 lead to the
recognition of such talent it was necessary
to give specimens, and that was what we
did. Il was impossible to find specimens In
which the broken rules OF grammar did not
protrude like quilts upon the fretful por-
cupine, and In which the originality of the
writer's was not displayed in tense and

Makes an Interesting Enquiry
Mr. c. N. E. Eliot, Second Secretary of
the British Embassy in Washington, and
the British representative on the Samoan
Commission, yesterday had an interview
with the Acting Secretary of State about
Samoan affairs. Mr. Eliot wanted to know
something in regard to claims fled By
American citizens in Samoa on account OF
damages sustained by the bombardnent of
the outskirts of Apia by the cruiser Phil
adelphia and British gunboats. Mr.. Eliot
was Informed that very few of those claims
had been received by the department. He
said that Engiishmen residing in Samoa

however. to submit the suits of their
subjects to arbitration, but the United
States, while accepting the proposal in
principle, has thus far declined TO enter
into it. The ground taken by this Gov
ernment is that the main question to be
decided Is whether those responsible for
starting the outbreak against Malietoa are
not liable for all damages, and that this
phase Of the matter should be settled be-
fore an attempt is made TO determine how
much damage was sustained by each indi-
yidual Samoan, Englishman, or American.
and an apportionment made according to
whether the damage was inflicted by Brit
ish or American warship5. Under the pro-
posal to which the United States objects,
Germany could not be liable for any in
demnity as her warships did not partici-
pate in the bombardment. An important
element in the case is that part of the
report made to the three powers by Chief
Justice Chambers concerning the cause of
the uprising, in which Mr.. Chambers places

An objectionnbIe Racket.


Captain Chadwick, Of the New York, has
come forward with suggestion about
Dewey celebrations which is worth some
attention from the cities which are think
ing of getting up such festivities in the
future. He comments rather severely on
the racket made by the steam whistles in
New York on the day of the naval parade,
and says that this noise was so great that
orders on shipboard could not be heard,
and even the bugle calls were deadened.
He says that this multitudinous footing
was an intolerabIe affection, and that no
other nation except the Chinese would have
made such noise to express joy and graft
tude.
There is some nervousness and a great
deal of common sense in Captain Chad
wicks remarks. Probably, to the ears of
three-fourths of those who saw the naval
parade, the sound of the whistles was
either pleasing or unobjectionable. To the
remaining fourth it was torment The
question at issue seems to be whether it is
iustifable to torture some people in order
to afford a small pleasure to other people.

HARRISBURG, Oct. 9.-The mandamus

that he was mistaken when he rejected
the Democratic certificate from Chester
county on the ground that the Democratic
party did not POLL per cent OF the total
vote at the last general election. He says
he discovered that the Democrats did east
a sufficient vote to entitle them TO a sepa-
rate column on the ballot. He consented
to receive the certificate as of the date
it was presented at the department and no
mandamus was issued. This settles the
matter and the fusionists in Chester county
