Rudyard Kipling.

f@[PLTNG'S recovery from an illness
n which threatened his life Is a
y matter for general congratula-
ton. 1t cannot be said that kipling
is a great literary man, great poet or
a great novelist. But he has given many
indications that he is likely to become
great. He is only thirty four years of
age and Shakespeare had not accom-
plshed much at that age. Besides Kip
ling is undoubtedly the best we have IN
the literary world to-day, and there is
no one to take his place. One prnsi dent
succeeds another. ore king >u:7eeds an
other. one pope or one priest another.
But when Longfellow, Tennys IN, Dick
ems, Shakespeare or Hugo dicl the
world felt a distinct loss. Such men Of
genius are never replaced. So Kipling,
while not yet a great man, shows many
marks of genius, shows himself to be
rare stLdlnt of human natu e and Is
counted to do some great work before
the passage of many more years.
kipling was born in Bombay, India
He has been reporter war correspond
ent, traveller, hunter, explorer, novelist
and poet His first verses and stories
were written while working as a
reporter in Bombay. He contributed
stories in various journals of India
many of which were collected under the
title, plain Tales Of the Hills" Then
came Soldiers Three" THE Gadsbys,"
Under the Deodars" and THE Phan-
tom Rickshaw." His first book of verses
was entitled Departmental Ditties." A
London reviewer says:
Mr., Kipling stands out like a sharp
shooter as the Interpreter and champion
of the private soldier. In his verses he
pictures the hollowness of society life in
the garrison and the bubble bursts with
a loud report of laughter mingled with
tears"
kipling's most notable recent produc-
ton was the "Recessonal," which stir
red all England by its virile plea, Lest
we forget, lest we forget" His latest
production was Take Up the White
Mans Burden which has been the
subject of parodies by scores.
Mr. kiplng arrived in New York
| from England only about month ago.
! He was made a social lion. but did not
| like it bit. AT some receptions in his
| honor his verses We're set to eXecrable
music and We're sung, but he plainly
showed that he was bored. 1t was at
one of these all night dinners that he
caught cold which developed into
pneumonia, from which his life was for
few days despaired of

Spain's Troubles.

T@ ample of her admirals and gen.
erals for suffering defeat at the
hands of the American pigs Admiral
Montejo, whose fleet was blown out of
the water by Dewey. and the COM
mander of the Cavite arsenal have
been placed in prison to await trial.
The prosecution of General Linares, in
command at Santiago. has been order
ed, and it is likely that Cervera will
be court -martialed.
After all, the aftermath of the war
is not so bad on the American side as
it is likely to be on the Spanish side
of the water. We have some bad
smelling beef to investigate, we have
to decide whether Schley or Sampson
deserves the credit for doing up Ger
vera, we have to discuss Hobson's
propriety in permitting himself to be
kissed, we have to depose Eagan for
talking too much and We jump on AL
ger for incompetence. But nobody on
this side of the water has yet been
accused of cowardice. and there is no
investigation pending respecting any
officers cowardce. We have our trou-
bles, but they are not so bad as Spain's.

Magazines on the War.

EFT us hope that the monthly
magazines will soon find some
material to work on other than
the Spanish American war. There is
very little in the war articles now being
published that was not covered in the
newspaper dispatches at the time the
events occurred. A little by way of
"Reminiscences was all right but month
after month since the war ended the
magazines have been crowded with
war articles until one searches them in
vain for something new to read. Every
officer of the army or navy who would
consent to write seems to have been en-
listed to write for some magazine.
And still they come. 1t was thought
that surely the straw had all been
threshed in February but the March
magazines give us some more. The
Century has 1.-THE Winslow at Car
denas," by her commander, Lieutenant
Bernadou; "Cable-cutting at Cenfue-
gos' by Lieutenant Winslow, who COM
manded the boat expedition that did
the work; part four of Lieutenant Hob
sons narrative, describing his prison
life in Santiago and observations of the
siege; the first of Major General
Greenes papers on the taking of Ma
Mia.
Harper's for March has president
Mckinley signing the utimatum" and
Senator Lodges history of the spanish
American war"
Scribners' for March continues Colonel
Roosevelt's papers on THE Rough
Riders"
McClure's gives sketch by H.
II. Lewis of General Wood at San
tiago," and continues Captain Alfred
T. Mahans papers on the naval lessons
of the war Self Culture covers the
Hawaiian islands and has an article
by Rear Admiral Roe on the idea of a
defensive alliance between Great Bri-
tain and the United States. And so it
runs with all the magazines. The light
magazines tell stories of the war and
the heavy ones are still discussing the
problems of the war.

A Fair Exchange.

7 AMAICA. according to Kingston
dispatch, is on the verge of a
political crisis which may involve
bloodshed. The colony is not at all sat
isfied with its treatment by the imperial
government. 1t is virtually bankrupt
and receives no financial assistance
whatever from Great Britain. Similar
refusals of financial assistance have
been made by the English government
to Barbados and other islands of the
West Indies. The congress of Jamaica
was convened yesterday, according to
Il dispatch, in order to ascertain whether
or not some relief can not be obtained.
The best thing for Great Britain, and
at the same time the best thing for the
United States, would be to bring about
a fair exchange. The Philippines would
be Of much greater service to Great
Britain than are it's possessions on this
hemisphere. They are close to India
and other British possessions, and are
close to China, the coming scene of
action. To hold the Philippines Great
Britain would have to add nothing to
dts present force in the East 1t is build
ing up a great eastern empire, and the
Philippines would be desirable portion
of that empire.
On the other hand America belongs to
the American continent. 1t has no bust
ness in the Eastern hemisphere. II
should devote it's energies to building
up a mammoth republic in the Western
hemisphere until all the American con-
tinent shall become part of the United
States of America. That is likely to be
brought about some time.
To mutual advantage this country
might well surrender the Philippine
islands to Great Britain in exchange fol

End of the Fifty-Fifth.

MATTE Yesterday the f' 1If.i 1;a
M congress has passed into his
tory 1t has been in session
during one of the most eventful periods
of the nations existence and it has APP
propriated more money than has been
appropriated by any of it's predecessors.

sent session of congress at $675,SS5, 4S9.

During the life of the congress which
ended its existence yesterday a war
has been prosecuted with Spain, treaty
| of peace has been negotiated, the terri
: tory of the United States has been
! largely extended. War revenue meas
ures were adopted which are likely to
remain in force for several years yet
on account of the expense incumb ant
on holding the territory acquired. This
congress has revised the tariff through
the Dingley law and the war revenue
act. An effort was MADE to effect a
general treaty of arbitration with
Great Britain but it was defeated. A
law was passed for the protection of
american seamen and the pay was ad-
vanced of officers and enlisted men in
the volunteer army. Additional judges
shave been provided in the fifth and
sixth judicial circuits.
The Nicaragua canal bill failed of
passage and will have to take its
chances with the next congress. The
Hawaiian government bill, the shipping
subsidy bill and the anti-scalping bill
also failed to pass Agreement was
reached in regard to appropriations for
public buildings and for the Pacific
cable. The army bill was passed,
greatly increasing our standing army.

Pope Leo's Illness.

80 Y a recent dispatch it appears
u that the pope is in a critical con-
dition and is not likely to sur
VlVe many more days. The pope en-
tered on his ninetieth year last Thurs
day and is in the twenty second year
OF his pontif1cate. OF two hundred and
sixty-two predecessors in the papal
chair only seven reigned more than
tWenty-one years. and the average
reign has been only seven years. Ten
died within a month after election and
one lived only three days. Plus IN
reigned twenty-five years.
In case of the death of Pope Leo the
tifty-tiVe cardinal bishops. priests aud
deacons will Immediately meet in con-
claNe and proceed to vote until Il pope
is elected. 1t is very seldom that any
but an Italian is elected to the pom
tiiical chair. OF the long list of popes
one was German, ten We're French
men, one was Portuguese, one a Greek
and two We're Spaniards. There is no
likelihood that any but an Italian will
be elected to succeed Leo. XIII. TO the

Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget,
The tumult and the shouting dies
The captains and the kings depart;
Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and a contrte heart.
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest We forget.
Far-called our navies melt away
On dune and headlands sinks the fire
Lo all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!
Judge of the Nations. spare us vet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget
If drunk with sight of power we loose
Wild tongues that have not Thee in
awe
Such boasting as the Gentiles use
Or lesser breeds without the law
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
For heather heart that puts her trust
In rocking tubs and iron shard-
All valiant dust that builds on dust
And guarding calls not Thee to guard
For frantic boast and foolish word
Thy mercy on Thy people, Lord.
Amen.
