Bowed by the weight of centuries he leans
Upon his hoe and &c g 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 despair,
a thing that grisves not and that never hopes,
StOlid and stunned, q brother to the ox9
Who loosened and let down his brutal jaw9
Whose was the hand that slanted back this brow9
Whose breath blew out the light within this brain3
Is this the Thing the Lord God made and gave
To have dominion over sea and land;
To trace the stars and search the heavens for power;
To feel the passion Of Eternity?
Is this the Dream He dreamed who shaped the suns
And plllared the blue armament with llght3
Down the stretch of He'll to it's last gulf
There is no shape more terrible than this
More tongued with censure of the worlds blind greed
More fraught with menace to the universe.
What CULTS between him and the aeraphimI
Slave Of the wheel of labor, what to him
Are Plato and the swing of Pleiades9
The rift of dawn, the reddening of the rosef
Through this dread shape the suffering ages look;
Times tragedy is in that aching stoop;
Through this dread shape humanity betrayed,
Plundered, profaned, and disinherired,
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 quenchedi
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 iG again with immortality;
Make right the immemoris infamies,
Perhdious wrongs, Unavoidable woes7
O masters, lords and rulers in all lands,
How will the Future reckon with this Mans
How answer his brute question in that hour
When whirlwinds of rebellion shake the worldG
With those who shaped him to the thing he is
When this dumb Terror shall reply to God
After the silence Of the centurlesf

The nance of the author is not altogether unfamiliar to readers Of the Century
and scribners MageMn n but never before has he aroused &C much enthusiasm.
Some of the Western papers are particularly JEALOUS in praise, M Of them,

snd most striking poem, with the single exception, perhaps, of Kip

WANTS CHANGE IN ACCOUNTS.



Alderman James NJ Dixon. chairman of
the Council street and lane committee
was before the finance committee yester-
day TO ask a change in the city treasuror's
method of keeping the accounts of the
street and lane department. Alderman
Dixon wants his department credited with
all amounts paid into the treasury. in
stead Of their going into the general fund
BY the sidewalks ordinance It IS made
the duty of the street and lane DEPART
ment to build the walks where property
owners fail 10 do so within the prescribed
time. When the city contractors bill goes
in for the walks, the amount Is deducted
from the appropriation of the street and
lane department, but when this is later
paid by the property owner. the credit goes
| into the general fund. The large amount
OF walks the department will have to
build in the near future win cut its APP
preparation down considerably, and the
committee viii have nothing to show for
the expenditures except the improvement
of private property. What Alderman
Dixon hopes is that the appropriation will
be credited with payments made on ac-
count OF sidewalk work. He says this
Will he more systematic way OF keep
ing the accounts, and will not leave the
committee in the position of spending ita
| entire appropriation with no public m
provements to show for Ii.
The water department is also affected
by the failure to credit payments on its
account to the appropriation and not the
general fund Repair work Is frequently
done by the department, and the bills
paid out of it's appropriation. When the
property owners pay, however, the amount
goes into the general fund, as in the case
of the street and lane department.
The present plan of keeping department
accounts has been In effect a long time,
and it is claimed to be the only correct
way OF keeping the accounts so that the
| expenses OF the various departments wiz
show distinct and clearly from tho reve.
nues.
