n.en,tion of n Poet by Wordsworth.


What is a poetl To whom does
he address himselfi And what IAN
guage is to be expected from HIM
He is a man speaking to men-a
man, it is true, endowed with more
lively sensibility, more enthusiasm
and tenderness, who has greater
knowledge of human nature ana
more comprehensive soul than are
supposed to be common among man
kind; a man pleased with his own
passions and volitions, and who re-
ioices more than other men IN the
spirit of life that is in him; delight
ing to contemplate similar volltlons
and passions as manifested III the
goings on of the universe and habit
ually impelled to create them where
he does not find them. To these
qualities he has added disposition
to be affected more than other men
by absent things, as if they were
present; an ability of conjurlng up
in himself passions which are indeed
far from being the same as those
produced by real events, yet (espe-
cially in those parts of the general
sympathy which are pleasing and
delighAuD to more nearly resemble
the passions produced by real events
than any thing which, from the mo-
tions of their own minds merely,
other men are accustomed to feel III
themselves; whence, and from prac-
tice, he hss acquired u greater read
mess and power In expressing what
he thinks and feels, and especially
those thoughts and feelings which
by his own choice Or from the
structure OF his own mind, arise IL
him without immediate external eX
element.

THEY ARE BECOMING DEMOCRATIC.

The capitalization of the trust
organized last month is reported
to have reached the billion-dol-
lar point which was considered
remarkable. This month, how
ever, there have been signs that
the perils of this ballopning of
stocks are at last being recog-
nized. OF even more serious
significance have been the pro-
tests of protectionists newspapers
against the liberation Of these
combinations to advance prices
and restrict production. For
example the Philadelphia Led
ger, published in that citadel of
protection declares itself as fol-
lows
Congress has a weapon within
reach to give the death stroke to
nearly all of the rapacions trusts
now existing Most of these COM
binatlons deal in American pro-
ducts of which they have OBJ
tanned monopoly. The duty on
the foreign product is so high as
to be prohibitory or nearly so.
1t is gross perversion of the tax
ing power to impose tariff which,
without yielding revenue to the
Government, enables trusts to
plumber American citizens. In
every instance where domestic
monopoly puts exactions upon
the consumer congress should
repeal the duty and thus free the
public from oppression.
In similar vein speaks the Chi
cago "Times- Herald" one of the
two Chicago papers owned by Mr..
Kohisaat, who has been so con
spicuous for his ardent support Of
President Mckinley. In an edi-
torial criticising the St. Pau
"Pioneer Press"-probably the
ablest Republican paper in Mimi
esota--for the violence of its at
tacks upon the "monstrous dig
archy of monopoly" the Chimes
Herald" specifically accepts the
democratic and populist and silver
republican remedy which it's con-
temporary is urging with SO much
fervor Its words are as fol.
lows:
1t is undoubtedly the duty o
legislators and courts to protec
society from the aggregations o
capital which destroys competi
ton in order to enhance prices
For these there can be no excuse
protection, or defense. So whei
TIC X lollGcI icSS dCCidlCS tlld
it is the duty of the republican
party to repeal every protective
duty under the shelter of which
it's beneticiaries haze organized
trust or combination of any sor
to advance prices, it meets tn
views of the "Times- Herald" t
dot. The purpose of the pro
tective tariff was to foster indus
tries, not to protect monopolies.
Such declarations as these i
republican papers of great in
huence, supported as they are b
all the elements in the oppositio
party, are giving new life to tn
cause of tariff reform.

Gov. PINGREE told New York
audience some plain truths when
he declared that the trusts will
divide the people into sharply
defined classes, masters and
slaves. The tendency OF the
trusts, he said, "is to place all
business in the hands of few
men, whose only ability lies in
their power to make money. All
employees will be subject to these
men and they will be treated as
tools, to do the bidding of their
mercenary masters, 1t needs NO
prophet or philosopher to predict
what effect this will have, indeed
is already having upon the indie
pendence of the people. Men
cannot be machines and free men
at the same time.

 vioinity of Brockway's saloon on lnpra Rarraoue street, about 4:45 aam,i G@s F aot Saturday afternoon, were $. .tled to hear pistol shot, which ungs an allowed by scufling of men IS cut then a large crowd was seen to E so ss @I gregate in and around building
 East of the saloon.
 eosnI Graphic reporter hurried to the $f. .ou 10 to ascertain the trouble and IET if there was any. He saw Mas.E ,pd Raffe lying in 8 pool of blood ..sa tbe rear of his carriage shop and
 tbe same time noticed Sergeant L. Wilson hurrying Lawyer Tom oa,a, t,rmsbv off toward the police hey b 6ladquarters.
 r The scenes enacted and the large e Soud which had assembled made d difficult matter to ascertain who w3Md done the shooting or what it la llas Has about.
 Gssq 7s The facts as were learned from an ering ave witness after much inquiring Fea rla re as follows:
 ent T.J. Ormsby has his law office in colds little partitoned affair adjoining ons. as Pafe's carriage shop. He had been uIed Eboozing all day and quarrelled with
 Rafe On several occasions previous bat pats Go the shooting. How or by what nee' eaase the quarreIs had beer brought
 about could not be feared, but some the Bay it was over a waman, others say |ray ihe purchasing of a can of beer. 7.. About 4:45 o'clock Ormsby entered tb Rafa's shop. Raffe together with it Bn apprentic were at work on a ao earriage Ormsby began to abuse |n, RaAe and continued to curse hlm. |ole Rafe continued his labors and told 0rmsby to go away, that he didn't l |and care to have any words with him. n. Without warning Ormsby pulled a |e 29-caliber revolver from his pocket BI and fired at Raffe He was in the act of shooting again when the ap- ! prentice grabbed him. The ball en- tered Raffe's left breast, striking l. the collar bone and ranging down ward. Raffe suffered intense agony and could only be relieved after he had been given several doses of
 strong opiates. Drs. Hankison and Allen attended him. At late hour last night he was resting very easy.
 The ball lodged in the rear of the shoulder where it now is. It will be probed for as soon as the physi-
 clans see fit to do so. Whether or
 not, the wound would prove serious,
 had not been determined by the physicians at late hour last night.
 Ormsby was committed to jail by Prosecuting Attorney Sorrells with
 out bond. Ormsby is a lawyer
 about 50 years of age and is known
 to many as troublesome, disagree
 able kind of a fellow, especially so
 when drunk. If Raffe dies it will
 doubtless go very hard with him.
 Raffe was formerly in the employ
 of the Cotton Belt as a carpenter at
 the shops. He is an experienced
 carriage maker and member of I several secret orders of this city.

Thomasville, Ga,, Mare h 9. Pres ident Mckinley and quite a large party Friday made flying trip to Tallahassee, Fla. special train was provided by the Plant System and included two Pullmans, one extra coach and q baggage ear. 1t left iThomasville shortly after 10 o'clock and will return late in the afternoon. The president was look ing very we'll and evidently has been benefited by the trip. Among his guests on the excursion were Capt. Metcalf, retired sarmy officer and president of the Country Club of Thomasville; c. B. Parsons and Mrs. Parsons, of St. Joseph, Mo, J. Wyman Jones, Charles Chapin, G. H. Stone of Cleveland, Col. Wylie sand Mir. and Mrs. $. G. McLendon, att torney of the Plant system, Mel Hanna and Mrs. Hanna, Senator and Mrs. Hanna and the Misses Hanna, Assistant GSecretary Cortel- you and Dr. Rixey, the family phys ician also went along. At Monti- cello, the home of Senator Pasco, that gentleman and his family greeted the president. The senator could not proceed to Tallahassee, but by invitation the two Misses Pasco and q young son became
 members of the presidential party. At Tallahassee the party was re- ceived by Gov. Bloxam and local committee. The town had been elaborately decorated in honor of
 the president. Salutes were fired. an escort provided. d regular pro- gramme carried out and the visit
 made more of eeremonjous affair than any feature of the present Southern trip. The party was first driven to the State capitol, where 0 large crowd from the town and sur rounding had assembled. On the
 portico of the State house the entire
 party, including the governor and 9 the Floridan committee were photo- graphed.
 After brief rest, during which the ladies of the party W ere pre- sented immense boquets of beautiful violets, the party was driven to the Leon House, where an informal pub- lie reception was held by the entire
 party and an elaborate lunch served to about 100 persons. Gov. Bloxam sat on u right of the president and Judge Raney on his left. Then fol- lowed drives to points of interest and a visit by the president to a large negro college having about 200 students. A band Of music, a local military company and organ , ization of the students were assem- here in the presidents honor. No speechmaking occurred in Talla has, see, The party left there at 3.30 and arrived in Thomasyille 1t $40. An effort is gmaking to induce the pres ident to visit Tampa, but he is dis inclined to make the trip, and unless
 he changes bis mind will be in Wash ington late next Tuesday.
 tmaster-GeneralC Charles Emory 7 Smith it is believed, may stop in
 Thomasville on his way back north should the president be bere when
 the former reaches Georgia.
 Vice-President Hobart caught cold last night and deemed it pru- } dent not to go Tallahassee, but . moved freely about the house. He was improving this afternoon. J s6ra D v kSorroa1,a s rrax.o4+o
