AMERICAN PATRIOTIC LYRICS.

American patriotic literature is local
solely rather than local and general.
Without doubt there Is q historical hint
in this fact. The people grew into
nation so quickly and under such con-
ditions that the intensely personal ele-
ment In the patriotism was naturally
reflected in the national literature.
Some OF the American poets translated
from other tongues. but few wrote d.
rectly Of the patriotism Of another peo-
pie. Bayard Taylor, the Travelled poet.
is an interesting exception In his SYM
pathetic treatment Of the Crlmean in
cldent in his poem. The Song Of the
Camp He also added 10 the literature
OF American patriotism:
let us consider some American poets
on American patriotism;

Marion's Men,, etc.

LNCENDLARY, SAYS KELLER,
DECLARES THAT RANDALI'S ISLAND
BUILDING WAS SET AFIRE-OTHER
STRUCTURES IN DANGER

Il thoroughly convinced that the burning or
the Industrial School Building on Randalrs Island
Thursday night resulted from the act Of an In
cendary
This statement was made by John w. Keller.
Commissioner of Charities. last night to a Tribune
reporter at the Democratic Club. in Ffth-ave.
81 do not see how it could have been otherwise,
Mr.. Keller continued. II visited the scene OF the
fire this afternoon and canvassed the situation as
carefully 1 could The building was unoccupied
at night and fires were kept burning there
Who could have set fire to the place is more than
l know What could have been the object of such
deed do not know Indeed. that is the alarming
part about it.
Now. there are other frame buildings belonging
to Department which stand the same chances
in regard to fire the building which has just
been burned to the ground. For instance, on
Randals Island there is Ward c. low frame
building. which is occupied by patients. fire In
such place would work havoc indeed Then on
Blackwelrs Island. at the northern end there is
of shanties-that is all they are. shanties-
now occupied by the insane AS soon as their in
mates moved Wards Island, where accom-
mediation will eventually be made for them.
shall tear every of these rookeries down.
THE Harlem Hospital" continued the Commits
sioner. lis another frame building which is leased
by the city 1t is three stories high. and has beds
for forty patients. For than year l have
sought to gain safe adequate accommodations
for these patients But what is the use?' Here
the Commissioner looked up at the great portrait
of Mayor Van WyCk which adorns the parOr of the
clubrooms. Mr.. Keller queried again:
What's the use? We can't get the money
have two sites picked out for new hospital which
is to be freproOf and accommodate $50 patients
One situation is at One-hundred thirty if
and Lenox-ave. and the other is the site of the
present hospital in East One-hundred- and-twen-
tieth-st
CAS- matter of fact, there freproof build
inss belonging to the Department Whatsoever
Gouverneur Hospital Is the nearest approach to
one. but it is not absolutely fireproof. Why. it
would take more than 100000 to replace these in
stitutions with buildings that would secure abso-
lutte safety against fire. But il is We can't
| get the money" And again the Commissioner
looked appealingly at the picture on the wal.
When asked If steps were being taken TO appre-
bend the ncendiary Mr.. Keller said that such ac-
tfon was being taken, but yet there appeared TO
be no cleT. Mr. Keller said that he had decided to
discharge the pauper help in all the city hospitals
because of their demorazing influence upon the
hired help These paupers don't work he said.
THAT is the reason I want them out You can't
get work without paying for it,

THE WAR TAX QUESTION.
NOTHING LIKELY TO BE DONE AT THIS
SESSION OF CONGRESS.

Washington May (SpeciaD.-The Ways and
Means Committee to-day listened to more argu-
ment and statements in favor of the repeal of war
taxes President Wilson and several other mem
bers of the Consolidated Stock and Petroleum En-
change of New-YorS appeared and gave their rea-
sons for desiring the repeal of the stamp and IL
cense taxes on Stock Exchange transactions and
the brokers who carry them on. The burden OF
their complaints that the amount OF the tax
is excessive; that it is discriminating tax, ana
that whatever necessity for 1t have existed in
the war has been removed by the steady accumula-
ton Of surplus revenue. Mr.. Wilson's argument
was regarded as an able by the members of the
Ways and Means Committee, who listened atten-
lively and afterward spoke highly of it, so far as
it bore the general subject.
This argument as well those which have pre-
coded it the representatives of other business
and industrial interests. confirmed the opinion that
the situation and conditions are such as to forold
anv attempt at piecemeal legislation at this
session and also that any attempt at a general
revision of the revenue laws this summer would
be irnpra cticable. Moreover 1t is the opinion OF
experienced legislators that in view OF unsettled
questions and conditions In the new possessions OF
military expenditures in the Philippines for some
time to and for other reasons, 1t would be at
least premature to repeal the PROVISIONS OF the
War Revenue act outright at this time, 1t is ex-
pected that the legislation already enacted assert
ing the authority of Congress to deal with a free
hand in regard to these possessions Will be re-
viewed by the Supreme Court OF the United states
at an early date and that until the question shall
will be wiser for Congress to defer further leglSIa-
ton on the subject the internal revenue tariff

ment is engaged and of the safety waive fur-
nished by the sinking fund law, that the treasury

temporary chairman of the Convention and SEN
ator Lodge Of Massachusetts, the permanent
chairman Frederick S. Gibbs. who is a member
of the National Committee. said last evening that
he did not believe there had been any decision by
the subcommittee to the temporary and per-
chairman of the Convention. Senator

Foraker of Ohio. make the nominating speech for
President Mckinley in the Convention. and to have
Governor Roosevelt of New-York, make the speech
seconding the nomination. Friends of the Gov
ernor have declared that if he makes the speech
he will place himself in position to be nominated
by reclamation for the VicePresidency.
The probable choice of Senator WOlcott for tenn
pOrary chairman of the Convention some of the
politicians said. would be regarded good move

lowed Senator Teller when he bolted the st. Louis
Convention. Senator Wocott. il said has
powerful following i'll his State. and his selection
as temporary chairman will please thousands of
Republicans there.
