AUSTIN. THE ALLEGED.

That alleged poet, Alfred Austin,
has dipped into criticism, and has pre-
sumed to give his opinion of the
rhymes of one Rudyard Kipling and to
set the mark of his disapproyal upon
them. Mr.. Austin had much better
remain silent. As Poet Laureate he
is a dismal failure, and as a mere
jingler of verses he is a fraud. Once
in while he writes something worth
reading, but these occasions are far
apart, and his productions at his best
add little to the best poetic literature.
KiPling is open to criticism, but
principally because of his topics. He
is poet, and one of parts. The arts
of rythm and OF rhyme are his, and
he.has something more besides-he al
ways has something to say, and he saws
it-not in the conventional mode. but
after a manner peculiarly his own.
Even his "Barrack Room Ballads are
poesy, although the topics are uneon-
ventional. but he has turned out more
good things than Alfred Austin ever
did or ever will, II one may judge by
past performances. Tor Austin to
criticise Kipling IS pure foolishness;
an ordinary reporter or clerk might
as well start out TO find fault with
Addison. Kipling's poems viii live

REPUBLICAN 1Ns1N6ER1ry.

The New York Sun, stalwart and
constituencies Republican organ, in
leading editorial takes the ground that
the result of the late elections show
that the American people not only en-
dorse the trusts as all right, but re-
this be true, from a Republican stand
point, why did the Republican Con-
gress pretend to enact laws against
the trusts, and why, during the last
campaign, did Republican papers and
Republican orators remind the people
that the party in power would go af-
ter the combines, and would not only
enforce present legislation, but would
enact more? The fact is, the Republ-
can pretensions were insincere, and
the antitrust talk, when it was in
dulged in at all, was merely for polit-
ical effect and not meant.
The Sun declares that the people are
tired of ''the bowls of cranks against
the trusts and further says that the
alleged antitrust laws were merely
passed for the purpose OF meeting
halfway" the Democratic hostility to
such organizations Now that the
danger of Democratic supremacy is
passed for the moment, the mask is
removed from Republican pretension,
and the true situation is revealed. The
Sun specifically adds: There is little
fear that there will be more antitrust
laws at the coming session of Congress
or at the one next after it: and ii is
probable, so far as our own Legisla-
ture is concerned, that not only will
no such laws be passed or even intro
duced,''. but that measures already on
the statute book will be amended if
not repealed"
Here is frank admission by lead
ing Republican organ, that the Repub-
lican administration deliberately BAN
boozled the people upon the trust ques-
ton. We insisted before the election
that that was the fact; the charge is
now confessed as true.

4 WHOLLY WRONG PROCEDURE

z The action of the First Branch OF
Council, last evening, in electing sue
cessor to the late Harry w. Gartley
will not commend itself to the people
Of the Sixth ward particularly, nor to
citizens generally. There was no occa-
sion for filing 1.-THE vacancy in. such a
rush, for the ward was well repre-
sented upon the floor of the two
Branches by seven members, no i'm
lportant legislation was pending or in
contemplation, and general city cleo
ton is but two months away, when the
people OF the ward would have gone to
the polls and made a choice in the regu-
lar way. The only motive for the
action last night arose from purely
political desire to ada one additional
hold-over to the party list in the in
terests of officials and candidates for
Office. That explains the entire mat
ter. There was no thought of fairness,
and no consideration for the people of
Sthe Sixth ward. They were told they
had no rights in the premises a ring
Council was bound to consider, and
that however great the desire and how
ever just the proposition to allow the
vacancy to stand until election day, the
majority in the upper Branch were go
ing to act over the voters heads And
go ahead they did, 1t is renewed evil
dence. of the contention, long ago estab-
lished as fact, that the present Coun-
Gil is a body operating in the interests
of politicians and not in the interests
of the people, for whom the membeps
appear to have profound and very
conspicuous contempt

Henry Clay was twice defeated for

knoYledged until the day OF mis- death
James c. Blaine was twice defeated for

is true OF William j. Bryan. Whether
he shall again be nominated for Pres

he shall battle in the ranks, his eff

who have curruptly betrayed their

triumphed in 1892. Those who have
defeated the party cant become It's

titude two years and four years hence,

of the present follow its flag in united
effort for Democratic victory. Don't re-

To the Editor of the New York Times.
AS one of those Democrats who believed
IN the futillty of the denomination of Mr..
Bryan. and one who said so in these coll
umns last spring. and as one who also
kept his promise to remain regular in his
politics whatever the outcome of the Kan
sas Coty convention might be, and most Of
all, as one who desires the welfare of his
party and his country, l ask the privilege
of making retrospect of the campaign
which has just closed, with a view of vim
d.cating that forecast of our defeat and in
the hope that the Democratic party is
about to enter upon better days:
The denomination of Mr.. Bryan made
defeat almost certain. The horse was all
ready heavily handicapped, and when
Bryan was announced as his jockey we
were foredoomed to defeat. At the very
outset our candidate made blander
which was an almost incredible piece of
folly, in the foist.ng of the silver issue
upon his party by and with the assistance
of Hawaii, Alaska and Wyoming. as
against the advice of New York, Massa-
chusetts and Pennsylvania. A mans sense
is tested by the advice he will take. II
any one should take the counsel OF a
carpenter instead of the advice of a ply
stefan on the question of the amputation
of a limb. he would be put down as a
simpleton. When Mr.. Bryan. therefore,
insisted upon forcing this falacious issue
into the campaign again against the wis
dom of his own people, he took the posi-
ton before the conservative men of the
country as one absolutely deficient in
common sense. This is hard language. but
it Is no less than the truth.
Now the question is, what are we going
TO do about it? There is much idle talk
about the reorganization Of the Demo
cratic party How are the people who
are, doing this talking going TO reorganize
anything? The party machinery is COM
plete. and it may as well be said that
there is nothing the matter with Ii. The
trouble has been apd is that some OF its
operators have been woefuIly lacking in
skill. and they should have been turned of
long ago. In this country, as everybody
should know, and as His Eminence Cardi-
nal Gibbons recently observed In his lofty
and patriotic discourse in Baltimore. there
must always be two parties Those per-
sons who call themselves Democrats who
want to reorganize their party, win have
