THE COMMON THINGS OF LIFE.

The common things of life they give
To art its highest sway;
The things that in the life we live
Are with us every day,
And never wrought the dreamer yet
Whose work true honor brings
But that his fabrics base was set
Firm on life's common things.
For these dear things to eyes that see
Not common are nor plain;
Beauty to its supreme degree
Lives in their homely grain,
And when Gods sweet toned seraph band
Creations mystery sings
1t tells how sea and sky and land
We're made life's common things.

before United States Circuit Judge
William H. Taft in chambers and filed
notice Of Oil appeal from the decision
rendered by the latter on Wednesday
afternoon. The appeal will be taken
direct to the United States supreme
court. 1t will be remembered that in
the two cases brought TO the notice of
Judge Taft the question of federal juris-
diction was raised and he decided that
the question involved should be referred
10 the state courts Of Kentucky or
should have been taken direct t 0 the
federal supreme court. The petition for
appeal merely states that Judge Taft
erred in declaring that jurisdiction did
not lie in the federal court and it was
solely upon this ground that the appeals
were taken.

The Sentinel. commenting on the Jour-

nor established diplomatic relations with
it, says:
This is interesting information. IL we
have not had any diplomatic relations with
the Transvaal what was Consul Macrum
doing at Pretoria? And why was young
Hay sent to take his place?
There are personal reasons why the SEN
tinel should know the difference between a
consul and diplomatic officer. 1t may be
interesting information to. our esteemed
contemporary to learn that a consul is a
business and commercial agent for the
government that appoints him ard that he
does not represent his government as dip
lomatic agent in any sense. The so-called
South African Republic has existed many
years. but Mr.. Macrum, appointed by
President Mckinley. was the first consul
ever sent by the United States to Pretoria.
it's capital. Young Hay was sent to
take Macrum's place because the latter re-
signed. but neither appointment involved
the establishment OF diplomatic relations.
A consul has no political functions what
ever unless he is especially charged with
them as diplomatic agent in the absence
of a minister and that was not the case
with our consul to Pretoria.
The question of recognition has as
sumed new phase by the arrival in Wash
ington of Mr.. White. who 1t is said will
be received in the absence of a minister
as the consular and diplomatic represen-
tative of the South African Republic This
is a more dignified rank than that of con-
sui, but his reception will not involve any
political consequences. AS he is the first
official representative OF any kind the
South African Republic has sent to The
United States. consular or otherwise. it is
evident Dom Paul has not been clamoring
for foreign recognition nor expecting II. Mr.
Whites recognition by the secretary OF
state will not imply his reception by the
President. but will give him access TO the
well as commercial affairs. In effect n viii
establish a roundabout communication
through the secretary of state with the
President as 10 such matters do not
come within the purview OF Great Britain s
claim OF sovereignty over the Transvaal
in regard to foreign affairs. 1t is strictly
true. as the Journal stated. that the United
States has never officially. recognized the
independence of the South African Re-
