Suggestion of a Comparison.

Readers Of MCClure's magazine for
the current month will find in Miss
Tarbell's paper on Lincoln materials
for an interesting comparison. The
paper deals with the trying period just
prior to the presidential election of 1864
when the carefully matured war pol
icies of the administration were threat
ened with destruction by an epidemic
of restlessness among the people such
as is not without parallels today; and
when, for weeks and months, the great
war president was oppressed with 4
fear that popular impatienCe, provoked
by the very eagerness of the people for
substantial victories. might by a spasm
of political short -sightedness not mere
ly overthrow him but undo the whole
result of the painstaking work which
had been done in behalf OF the North
ern cause during the first two and one
half years of the civil struggle.
So great was this spirit of restless
ness that not only did most Of the Re-
publican leaders come to regard Lin
coins denomination as out of the ques-
ton, but one member OF his cabinet
secretly intrigued TO become the party
nominee. Nevertheless when the time
came, the sober second thought took
possession of the people and Lincolns s
denomination was practically unop-
posed. But after the convention had
adjourned, the popular discomfort
again took form, notably when, on July
ha
volunteers and toward the last of
August In that year, with election day
only little over two months removed,
the clamor of the people grew so loud
that not only Lincoln's friends but also
Lincoln himself concluded that his de-
feat was inevitable: and Lincoln on
August 20 wrote letter saying that in
view of the seeming improbability of q
reelection he was determined to CO.
operate fully with the president-elect
for the salvation Of the Union. Yet
when the actual issue was presented to
the people OF continuing the war TO a
victorious conclusion or agreeing to the
Mcclellan platform that 1t was a fall
ure and that the North should sue for
peace, Lincoln's reelection was over
whelmingly decisive, he receiving 2l2
out of 233 electoral votes.
While the dissatisfaction of the anti
imperlalists with the war policy OF
President Mckinley does not amount
in numbers or in respectability to that
which thirty-tive years ago menaced
Abraham Lincoln, it does by it's meth
DDS and especially by its eager seizure
of military disappointments in some de-
gree recall the chapter in war history
so vividly presented in Miss Tarbelrs
narrative. But now, as then, the ad-
ministration win be sustained and by
vote which will illumine the situa-
tion.

THE MAN WITH THE HOE.

Reprinted by Reauest.l
Bowed by the weight OF centuries, he
leans
Upon his hoe and gazes on the ground,
The emptiness of ages in his face,
And on his back the burden of the world.
Who made him dead to rapture and de-
Spair,
A thing that grieves not and that never
hopes,
Stoid and stunned, a brother to the ox7
Who loosened and let down this brutal
jaw?
Whose was tho hand that santed back
Whose breath blew out the light within
this brain?
Is this the Thing the Lord God made and
gave
To have dominion over sea and land,
To trace the stars and search the heav-
ems for power;
To feel the passion OF Eternity?
Is this the Dream He dreamed who
shaped the suns
And pillared the blue armament with
light?
Down all the stretch of hell to its last
There is no shape more terrible than
this
More tongued with censure Of the worlds
blind greed
More filled with signs and portents for
the soul
More fraught with menace to the uni
verse.
What CULTS between him and the sera-
phim
Slave Of the wheel of labor, what to him
Are Plato and the swing of Pleiades?
What the long reaches of the peaks OF
song,
The rift Of dawn. the reddening OF the
rose?
Through this dread shape the suffering
ages look;
Times tragedy is in that aching stoop:
Through this dread shape humanity be-
trayed,
Plundered, profound and disinherited,
Cries protest to the Judges of the World.
A protest that is also prophecy.
o, masters lords and rulers in all lands,
Is this the handiwork you give to God.
This monstrous thing distorted and soul
quenched?
How will you ever straighten up this
shape;
Give back the upward looking and the
light;
Rebuild in it the music and the dream;
Touch 1t again with immortality;
Make right the immemorial infamies,
Perfidous wrongs, immedicable woes?
o, masters, lords and rulers in all lands,
How will the Future reckon with this
Man?
How answer his brute question In that
hour
When whirlwnds of rebellion shake the
world?
How will it be with kingdoms and with
kings
With those who shaped him TO the thing
he is
When this dumb terror shall reply to God
After the silence OF the centuries?

Alger Disavows Pingree.

claimer of Pingree. 1t is in the form
Of a statement to the press denying
that a political alliance has been form
ed between them. Pingree, Alger says.
voluntarily offered to support him for
senator and he adds: "Of course l
could not refuse his offer, and natural
ly / thanked him for it. That was ex-
actly what l had done with hundreds

nonsense to hold me responsible for
what Governor Pingree may say. I
am powerless to control his utterances,
even if | had n right to try
Commenting upon this statement, the
Washington correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Press, who usually speaks ad-
visedly, says: Even those who have
been most persistent in asserting that
Secretary Alger must get out of the
cabinet, and in this class are included
many of the presidents close friends
and advisors, admit that the repudia-
tion of Pingree alliance, made by
General Alger, puts a new aspect upon
the matter. AS the demand for the
secretary's resignation arose from the
fact that it was feared his alleged
Michigan political connections might
embarrass the president, that demand
would seem to cease when those reput-
ed alliances were disavowed. General
AlEer has by his population of the
Fingree alliance elected to remain with
the national administration. 1t is pos
sible the secretary will make no more
formal announcement of his position
than is conveyed in his brief state
ments to newspaper correspondents. In
the face of General Alger's specific re-
pudiation it is not to be expected that
either the president, in person, or any
Of his immediate advisors will be dis
posed to convey to General Alger an in
timation that his presence in the cab
met no longer is desired. The compli-
cations were wholly of a political ma
ture and important only in a political
sense. There was no personal feeling
involved" g."
There are complications quite apart
from the PinEree episode which require
the selection of new secretary of
war. Chief OF these is the practically
pie that General Alger is unfit for the
place.

A Patient Community.

II a number of men should band to-
gether for the purpose of collecting
the filth from the sewers and after
ward throwing handfuls of it against
the doors of only one resident OF our
city the offence would not be many
times repeated before the police, with
out special prompting, would arrest
these deflers and bring them into
court for punishment. 1t is improb-
able that in such contingency there
could be found a single man of sane
mind and respectable habits among
the l2O, 900 odd inhabitants of Scranton
who would so far forget himself or
as to applaud the defilers and offer
them sympathy or help.
Yet there is printed in this city and
scattered broadcast every Sunday a
publication which not only throws
filth and the infection of filth into
every household that permits it to en-
ter but which is allowed by the city
authorities to do this with impunity
and is encouraged while doing it by
the financial support of prominent
business firms and others. This publi-
cation does not stop at vicious slander
of men in office or otherwise before the
public but it invades private life and
there trallcs in tattle, scandal and
blackmail, not simply innicting the
pain of publicity upon those in no
sense before the public for criticism,
but also embittering domestic life and
putting before the young a kind of
literature which the law distinctly and
emphatically bans.
1t is a patient community which
toleratcs such an unblushing prostitu-
tion Of the printing press.
