Whatever there is Of the Celt in his work seems
spontaneous and part Of his nature The beauty
Of his poetry is slight and feeting but it IS
genuine, and he holds unshaken an honorable
place among the minor singers Of the time
Mr.. Money-Co is ambitious. There are
suggestions Of a philosophical turn Of thought
in his verses. He IS always in earnest. and
never more so than when he is stirred by the
appearance Of beauty. Yet some Of his best
themes fail TO give him a really lyrical impetus
and his choice OF epithets occasionally sToils
such effects lie within his grasp. The first
poem in his book, THE Alhambra." contains
this feeble stanza:
land Of flowers and sapphire skies,
Where seraphs walk in sweet disguise
OF earthly maidenS vesture!
Meseems you keep within your eyes
The first vast virginal surprise
OF Gods creative gesturel
The last two lines Of this fragment are gro
tesquely forced. But at times Mr.. Money-Coutts
resists the temptation to be precious" and
then he writes pausibly and even winningly;
without much music, but with touch that is
not unpoeticaL The Inquest represents him
at his best We quote it intact thus:
Not labour kills US no; nor joy:
The inCredulity and froWn,
The interference and annoy,
The small attritions wear us down.
The little gnat-lfke buzzincs shriIl.
The hurdy gurdies OF the street,
The common curses Of the will
These wrap the cerements round our feet
And more than all the look askance
OF loving souls that cannot gauge
The numbng touch Of circumstance,
The heavy toll Of heritage.
Y. ic 80. ro,.h but 7 ifa ba. c1avS.
The night less mOuntainously lies
Upon our lids than foolish days

In all his poems Mr. Arlo Bates Just hovers
on the brink Of poetry. He has delicacy Of feel

So far as the question of the Philip
pines goes. the business has been done;
1t was done when Dewey entered Ma
Mia bay on the first day of May, and it
cannot be undone by rejecting the
peace treaty which was agreed upon
by the representatives of the two ma
tions concerned after tedious negotia-
tions covering period Of many weeks.
The democrats who oppose the per-
manent retention of the Philippines
should be able to see that the question
of tho ratification of the treaty is one
far above party, and is matter OF ma
tional honor. No representative OF
the people who has the truest interests
of the nation at heart will for one
moment stand in the way of the conclu-
sion of peace because he cannot now
see just how we are to solve the
various new problems which have
been brought before US as part OF the
results of q victorious war. The rati-
fcation of the treaty is national duty.
The question of the ultimate DISPOSE
ton of the Philippines is legitimately
q political and party question.

their celebration on the twenty fourth

THE reorganization of the state
militia in every state of the union is
one of the most important problems
that is to be met during the coming
wear. The militia, while each state
should have control over its:own forces,
should be organized on uniform plan,
and the arms, equipments, and form of
organization should be the same all
over the United States. The result
would be reserve army of magnificent
proportions, and ready for any emer
gency.

held and numerous speeches delivered
in the ancient tongue Of the Gael.
These addresses were reported the next
day in the Freeman's Journal In Gaelic

The Marquis Of Salisbury is not

has been advised to indulge In more
exercise than was formerly his habit.
Whenever he can ride, he prefers 1t to

Ing used by him on every available oc-
casion. Mr.. A. J. Balfour once tried
to persuade his uncle into liking for
golf, and he induced him to try a
game or two on the links. which were
prepared at Hatfield. But. as mat
ter of fact, Lord Salisbury has no more
fondness for outdoor recreations than
Mr.. Chamberlain has.
