POPULAR STUDIES IN LITERATURE.

could say again and again: az read
Livy with the greatest delight, inter
est and admiration"
Tactitus (b. ~. ID. 6l?) has n far diff
fcrent reputation. His works coISti-
tutc. even when viewed i'm the light of
modern historical research, the most
important historical productions OF an
tiqu!ty. While his style is difficult
concise almost TO the point of eXtrem-
est condensation. still he was a con-
summatc artist in words. and those who
are able to read him enjoy him. In
conscientious love of truth. in fairmind-
edncss of judgment, Tacitus has never
been surpassed by any historian.
1t was necessary TO mention these
great historical writer's OF antiquity be-
cause they are the reprcs entatlVe types
by which all other historians are often
judged. Ilerodotus is the accurate and
painstakinG obscl ver who is also the ar
tistic scene painter; Nenophon the
pleasing narrator OF his own expert
cnces; Thucydides the conscientious
and scrupulonSly careful investigator
and weighcr Of evidence: Tacitus the
analyst OF motives and OF the causes OF
events-the founder OF what may be
called the philosophy of history: while
LiVy is the graceful ana captivating
writer of a story-thc historian who
writes not to establish truth and rec
ORD 1t. but to please his readers.
Coming down Ia modern times. v.c
shall of course find that historians diff
fer quite as much as they differed in
classical times. and that The quality
which is n pronounced merit in one his

other Taking the writer's IF English

much To say that the completely salts

A FAMOUS 81 DINNER.

The Bryan, 16 to ], Jefferson, 81 a head
dinner, was n prodigious success, not
only in numbers. but because it con-
sisted of the people"-a term only
properly applied to all sorts of people
gathered together in happy harmony,
or a unity of righteous wrath. The
Richmond Times says that the dinner
was attended by "a motley throng."
and not exclusively by Scribes, Phari-
sees and hypocrites, who devour
widows houses at sitting. and whose
evening suits, kid gloves and silk stock
ings set them as n class apart. But MIR.
Bryan continues 10 blaspheme says the
Times. 1t asks:
Why will he lillen a New York politi-
cal dinner to the Lords SuDrsr and
why will he liken n returned politician
to the sinner who falls upon his knees
TO ask forgiveness of the God whom
he has offended?"
The answer is easy: Because Moses
and the prophets liken small things TO
great and vice-versa. without in either
case disrespect to the great or undue
eXaltation of the small: because rheto-
ric and logic approved such compari-
sons, as they reach no further than the
point to be illustrated and emphasized
by the comparison. and the more effec-
lively they do this. the better; and
finally, because Mr.. Bryan is not famil-
lar enough with gambling dens of Wall
street, drinking pens and SUM sinks
to Draw any of his figures of sooech
from them,-though he well knows that
III speaking fgura;lvcly, there can be
no just impeachment of his virtue or
plctY, no matter from what decent
source he may take his figures. Accord
ing TO these lily-wh!tc critics of MIR
iiryan, the term Of THE Lamb of
Cod forsooth. is blasonemous. be-
cause it likens the son Of God to the
young of quadruped; ana Christ bias
phemes continually: according to the
same Pharisaism: as when lie speaks
IN the Sermon on the Mount cc tie
motley throng lie is addressing as; the
salt of the GARTH" THE sons of Cod
ana what, from the Pharisaic stand
point. could be more blasphcmous and
sacrilcgious than that? But all that
tnusty chaff was thrashed out nearly
l9oo years ago. oh, We Pharisees. who
gag at Il gnat and swallow q camel.
But the 81 dinner was the largest ever
given in this country-5.OO0 people being
participants. with Bryan and O. II. p
Belmont both present. and the latter
giving every voluntary pledge Of ldel-
ity to the party. its platform and nom
inee. 1t was signiiicant,-ayc. prophetic
(eVen though we be accused of bias
phemy TO say so); and it demons ;rat ed
that If money be the God of some
among us, the main body of the people.
In a political and patriotic sense. stin

our fathers loved!
