TRUTH FROM THE PRivATES.

Some interesting opinions of General
Otis are quoted in a series of inter
views with the Nebraska and Utah
volunteers published by the San Fran
cisco Examiner. These views coincide
exactly with private advices received
by The Herald from responsible officers
and privates in the regular and volun-
teer service in the Philippines. H. Z.
Sleater of battery a, for instance, says:
Just tell them Otis is n. G. If he is
good for anything nobody ever found
= it out. The only thing he ever had
well in hand was his typewriter
L. S. Burnham of company c, First
Nebraska. remarks: THE people here
in the United States do not understand
the Philippine situation as Otis has
persistently misrepresented it. He
words the dispatches of the press cor
respondents to suit himself, cables
that the situation is well in hand and
fails to mention the disasters of the
campaign. The boys are all very glad
to escape from there with their lives.
My advice would be to remove him at
once and substitute General Miles"
or fifty interviews. To be sure they
are only the opinions of what admins
tration papers call obscure people,
just plain privates of the line who
have fought and endured nardships
and risked their lives daily for months.
The American private, however, has
brains and knows an officer when he
sees one. He fails to appreciate a
commanding general who never gets
near the firing line and does his cam
paigning by proxy. He doesn't under
stand the value of man who sup
presses facts and falsifies his own and
the correspondents reports. Moreover,
the American private has an unpleas-
ant habit OF speaking his own mind,
so that the country is finally in a fair
way to learn the truth about the
Philippine situation and the trusted
representative Of the administration in
command at Manila.

wrapped was It in it's own ideas, so
occupied with its own exploits, that IL
took no cognizance of the great move
ments that were going on, in science,
for example. or in philosophy or even
in art. Scarcely in all literary history
are to be found Instances of men of
equal mental caliber so little concerned
with the spirit of their age as were
Hugo and his followers. How little like
Goethe, in whom the whole mental
movement OF his age seemed. if not
to have originated, at least to have
been reflected.
A second of these characteristics was
the indifference Of the school to pre-
cision of speech and what may be
called the verbal nicetieS of the au-
thor's art. Liberty became license.
Emancipation from the rules preScrib-
ed by classicism for the use of authors
resulted in the disregard of all rules,
even those of innate good taste Words
were used without regard to their
senses Sentences were used without
regard to the exigencies of dramatical
construction. Poetical figures were
used without regard to their inherent
appropriateness. Both in poetry and
in prose, the French language, once so
exact and so definite in it's use of
words, so chaste in its employment of
metaphorical speech, so we'll ordered
and logical in all its emplovments, be-
came inexact, outre. and given to every
sort Of disorderly irregularity and IL
cense.

xV-SAINTE-BEUVE.

Victor Hugo was the creative genius
OF the romantic movement Sainte-
Beuve was its expository. its critical
genius Indeed, it may well be ques-
toned if the influence of Sainte-Beuve
in that development of literary ideals
and literary style in France in the
nineteenth century, which is usually
spoken of as the romantic movement,
was not even more efficient, more. vital,
more productive of significant result,
than that of the great poet and i'm
aginative writer who is generally re-
garded as the head of the movement
Salnte-Beuve, who was born in 1904,
and, therefore. was two years young er
than Hugo. was at first intimately as

HISTORY MADE TO ORDER.

In its newly-acquired zeal for the
administrations policy of suppression
and Justification in the Pacific, Mr..
Hanna's organ in this city says that
Kitchener would not permit CORE
spondent of any paper to accompany
his army on the final march against
the enemy, which march eliminated
the victory of omdnrman."
SO? There's history to order for
you! In the Free Public library of this
city is a most fascinating story of
K1tchener's great campaign. 1t was
written by Mr.. G. w. Stevens. CORE
spondent of great London newspaper
who accompanied Kitchener through
out that campaign, saw the battles of
the Atbara and Omdurman and entered
Khartoum with Kitcheners army.
Representative correspondents of
other London dailies were with
Stevens and chronicled the move
ments of the Egyptian army in dis
patches to their papers.
1t is true that Kitchener exercised a
censorship on all mail and telegraph
matter sent out. But he did not do
as Otis has done-change newspaper
dispatches to read in approval of his
own work and in contradiction of their
original meaning. The Sirdar either
allowed matter to be sent as it was
written or refused to let it go at
all. Besides, Kitchener censored news
10 prevent the accidental discovery of
his plans by the enemy. Otis is charged
by all the correspondents in Manila
with altering their dispatches so as to
deceive the American people. That is
the difference between Kitcheners
way and Otis.
The American people prefer the
honest way.

xVI-INDIvIDUALISM.
Toronto, Ontario.

The dominant note in the romantic
movement was 'individualism'-th
expression of the personal sentiments,
emotions and opinions of authors. The
disclosures" of Rousseau in his Con-
fessions," the ''self-revelation" of
Nine. de stael in "Delphine" and
,Corinne' (Delphine is the authoress
in her youth; Corinne is the ideal per-
sonage the authoress would have wish
ed herself to be-; the Memoirs of
Chateaubriand. the "Meditations'' of
Lamartine-were all so many stages
in a continuous development of that
literary ideal which eliminated in the
emotional lyricism of Hugo and Mus
set. And it is this ever-repeated note
of individualism, the constant express
sion of the ego, the treating everything
subjectively and not effectively, the
being always personal and not imper-
sonal, which distinguishes the real ro-
manticists from those who were not ro-
manticiSts, or who were so only in a
partial degree.
Victor Hugo is. of course. the repre-
sentative romanticist. He, indeed, was
almost the sole continuous member of
the romantic school. almost the sole
member of the school who never swer-
we'd from its first asserted principles.
OF all great authors in France Hugo
is the most individual" He is al
ways personal" In his writing, it is
his spirit. his opinion, his EGO" that
pervades the whole. In his lyric poetry
this was, of course. his strength. Lyric
ism is but individualism concentrated
and held in restraint and given pleas
ing form by art. In his dramatic poetry
it proved TO be his weakness. The ef-
fectiye drama, the drama people care
for, is Away impersonal. In his novels
it was partly a strength and partly
a weakness. The authors personality
is Astounding everywhere. Under some
conditions this means power; under
others it is ineffectiveness.
Several remarkable characteristics of
the romantic school followed from its
One was its indifference
to outside intellectual effort. So en-

The people of WATERFOWL, N Y, are
preparing to erect in that town a
statue of the late Roswell P. Flower.
The Watertown Daily Times thus
forcefully states the reason for this
honoring of Mr.. Flower:
There is certainly something in
county farmers boy, working up from
humble conditions to be a power first
in the political, and afterward in the
financial world, but more than that to
have won place in the respect and
esteem of his neishbors and fellow citi-
zens by. the strength of his character
and strict integrity of his life and
generosity of his deeds.'

his reader have due appreciation or
all this, he must have his reader under
stand the author. Hence arose that
method of criticism which he made
famous-by which. indeed. he gave 10
criticism an attraction as great almost
as that possessed by any other form OF
literary art-the method of the cause
rie" as it was called. The "causerle
critique" of Sainte-Beuve was based
partly on biography. But it was based
on much else also. The author was set
before the reader in all the clrcum-
stances of his life. his antecedents, MS
aims, his associations and his literary
atmosphere. Literary criticism in
Sainte-Beuve's hands became almost as
interesting as romance.
The great part of Sainte-Beuves
critical work was given TO the world
as weekly articles in newspapers his
life was as incessant in its grind OF
toll as if it had been spent upon a
treadmill. Il never have a holiday
he said. "On Monday, toward noon,
lift up my head and breathe for ABOUT
an hour. After that the wicket SHUTS

falcation that carries a clearly marked
moral. He says that he was advised
by friends to invest in a certain gas

been arranged by the man who owned
the control of the stock to put it I'D.
