IN THE OLD BAY STATE
REPUBLICANS MAY GAIN ONE IN THE
HOUSE.
Representative Moody Sounds . Note
of Warning ms to the
--,.-..... House.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
HAVERHILL. Mass. August 10.-A rep
resentative of The Star today asked Con-
gresham w. H. Moody. member OF the
committee on appropriations, to give his
opinion as to the general result, and par
ticularly as to the probability of the re-
publicans holding their majority in the
House.
4 should think We ought to have 100000
majority In Massachusetts, possibly more"
said Mr.. Moody. There are some very
strong republicans who are opposed to the
policy OF the administration, commonly
known by the rather meaningless title OF
Imperialism They are more important
than numerous and the effect which they
will have upon the election cannot be an
swered until after 1t has occurred. The
same men are intensely opposed to the
present democratic party.
According to my observation most Of
the gold democrats who voted for McKin-
ley four years ago will do SO this year.
The reafhrmation Of the silver plank OF
1875 aids the republican party very much
In Massachusetts, and / should think 1t
would do so throughout the country.
The German Vote Unchanged.
Although We have many Germans in
our state among the best of our citizens.
We have not what is known as a German
vote. l know of no reason why there would
be much change among them in this cleo
ten.
The record of fulfillment of pledges by
the republican party has no parallel in re-
corded political history. l think the people
understand this and are more ready to trust
new issues to the republican party, which
has talent for practical legislation, rather
than to the democratic party. which has a
genius for laundering.
Result of a Democratic House.
I'VE expect to gain one congressman in
Massachusetts. possibly two. 1 have, how
ever. very great fear that unless every
effort is made, We shall lose the control of
the House. This would mean the introduc-
tion and passage by the House of a bill
for the free coinage of silver True, 1t would
not pass the Senate, but 1t would threaten
stable conditions and render certain an
other campaign upon the silver issue. The
victory this year for Mckinley and the
control of the House of Representatives by
the republican party in my judgment re-
moves the silver issue from party politics
and RENTS it where it belongs, to the do
main of economic discussion.
1T is hard to make people understand in
this part of the country that there is any
question about the election. They forget
that there is no real election in a large part
of the southern states and that great
body OF electoral votes and congressional
seats are taken possession of by the democ-
racy without an opportunity given to us
of a fair contest"

History.

Interest Aroused In Their Art and
History.
From. the New York Times.
At first glance the subject of book plates
will doubtless appear quite dry to many. If
not to most people. The subject seems to
lack vitality. Book plates are at the best
nothing bnt dead leaves" So reasons the
layman. 1t Is only when we begin to read
the lines of Warren and realize the varied
lurking interest to be found in book plates,
in the heraldry they so largely signify, in
the bits of forgotten history, the political
aspects and changes that book plates re-
veal to the patient student and investi-
gator that a realization of the fact comes
at last that there Is something in book
plates after all. They have story to tell
us, and Warren was the first writer to real
lie 1t and to point 1T out to others to whom
1t was q revelation.
Book plates sprang into favor and use
ccgnate with the Advent Of printing, if not
before. Book lovers and collectors thus
marked their volumes and often engraved
upon their CHOSEN plates warnings against
those who boffowed but returned not again.
AS marks of Ownership they fulfilled their
destiny. but no one thought of studying
them and Of considering the art that en-
tered into them until Warren came and
modestly wrote "a Guide to the Study of
was done great host appeared who rev
eled in the treasures that he found and de-
scribed. y al
The engravers Of book plates were found
to include some notable names. Durer,
Bartolozzi. Rewick, and Hogarth were
among those who 50 wrought The rise of
the book plateifrom the mere typographical
label was developed. step by step, until
of the graver's art. with centered interest
that was threefold.' viz: In the artist who
designed and executed the plate, the owner
of the plate. and finally the design form
itself.
The field of book plates was speedily
found to be wide and growing one. and
Warren did not pretend to compass it ali.
He strove only to excite in others the inter-
eminently successful, and to the labors of
Warren have since been added those of
Bouchot. Cariander. Castle. Hamilton,
Hardy. Labouchere. Slater. Warnecke,
Fincham and our own Allen but without
impairing in any way the value of war
ren's work.

FOR THE MIGHT-HAyE-BE

For The Post
was going to write to you--to you
| was going to write tonight
Of-God knows what Ev'ry thing do
Evry dream I've dreamed, evry wish
knew!
Sinks glimmering out of sight.
And Hope lies dead on funeral pvre
or broken AID twisted things!
Lies mute and cold by a shattered lyrc
ana the sobbing cry of my hearts desire
Lies strangled in broken stringsl
Love sits like a satyr in discomfort
SulleEly biting his nails:
HIS plumage dragged and courage spent,
HIS bowstring broken, his bow unhent
Where each necromancy fails
BY his side sits Life with reproachful
men
Now gazing adown the years,
Now on the wreck of the might have been:
Now calls on Hope to awake again;
Now signs thro' a mist of tears.
For Life without Hope Ia worthless
thing:
Each smile but grotesque sheer;
The world may wake meath the touch OF
spring;
The flowers may bloom and mockblrds
sing.
But nothing save death is dear.
And so let the tale. OF my years be few;
or the full three score and ten:
Each waking thought shall be thought Of
you,
Each dream of a JOY my llfe' ne'er knew;
Each sigh for the might-have been,
