LITERARY NEWS AND NOTES.

''Gleanings from an Old Southern

is charmingly desultory paper by

Writing on ..The Press and Foreign

Ogden maintains the apparent paradox
that the American Press does not pre-
sent foreign news so intelligently as it
did before the era OF transatlantic

The first installment of brilliant
three-part story called ''The Prodigal, .

to be a fascinating young scapegrace
whose singular adventures on the water

with vigor color, and dramatic force

with an article on the African Boer by

Hauling Down the Flag.

MI. Bryan continues to harp in a way
dlscredltable to his candor and ability
on the string of hauling down the flag.
In his speech at Marysville, Kansas,
recently, he said:
"The Republicans say we cannot haul
down the flag where it has once been
hoiSted. If that is true, how are you
going to get the flag away from Pekin:
Our soldiers are there and carried the
Stars and Stripes with them, and if you
doctrine that whenever the flag floats
over a land the land cannot be given
back is true, you cannot get your sol
diers away from Pellin. and if you fol
low the doctrine that you followed in
Manila you have got to take the whole
Chinese empire
No expansionist, whether Repub' lean
or Democrat, has ever taken any such
position as this. The flag came down
in Mexico. and it will come down III
Cuba. and everybody knows the reason
why. 1t will come down in China, and
for as good a reason. When Spain
seemed slow and stubborn about CON
Tossing defeat, arrangements were made
to send a squadron across the Atlantic
and attack her seacoaSt. Suppose that
had been DONE and one of her cities
had been taken, and the stars and
stripes under the guns of the American
ships been hoisted over it. There would
have been no hesitation about lowering
the flag there. 1t would have been
done as soon as the war ended.
The flag was hauled down in Mexico
by a triumphant American army. 1t
will be hauled down in Cuba by gov
eminent which has triumphed complete
ly in taking it there. 1t will be hauled
down III China as soon as American oc-
cupatlon is no longer necessary to vindi-
cate and protect American rights. 1t
will not come down at China's COM
mand, nor because of any admission on
our part that it should never have been
raised there
But Mr.. Bryan's proposition as to the
flag in the Philippines is of an entirely
different nature. He cannot take the
ground, as some of his followers do, that
it ought never to have been raised in the
archipelago; that Dewey ought to have
sailed away as soon as he had sunk the
Spanish fleet. Mr.. Bryan in asking for
the confirmation of the treaty of Paris,
Endorsed the raising of the flag at Manila
and its right to fly there. But he wants
to lower it because there has developed
temporary expense IN sustaining 1t,
and because few of the inhabitants,
led by a rascally adventurer, whose
pertidy is a matter of record, are in
arms against it, He would lower it at
the command of its enemies, and to
save the bills that the suppression of an
insurrection necessarily entails. He
puts thus the dollar above the flag.
OF course Mr.. Bryan masks all of this
under a fervent cry for liberty and a
shout for the Declaration of Indepen-
dence. But the difference between haul
ing the flag down in honor and in h1lmil-
iation still shows. Washington, ID. c.,

Among the Sheaves.

O Lord, the fields are ripe with corn,
The labOrer goeth singing; ,
His joyful heart is heavenward borne,
On music's pinion winging;
The sky is fair, with here and there
A dOwny cloudlet sweeping;
Lord, in this time of happy cheer
What do | with my weeping?
Oh, shame, among the golden sheaves
To stain the day with mOurning
Oh, shame on him who idly grieves,
Gods harvest blessing scorning.
The heavens above look down in love,
The earth smiles back victorious;
BY hill and vale where'er you rove
The harvest fields shine glorious.
But on my soul sadness lies,
Made deeper by the story
OF Natures patient sacrifice
Thus perfected to glory.
Each faithful heart hath borne its part,
The autumn treasure sharing,
But l., only know the smart
OF failure and despairng.
OsLord, had all these weary days,
These wasted weeks of grieving,
Been spent in showing forth thy praise,
had had corn for sheaving.
Not empty hand and empty land
Had been my harvest measure,
Nor sad and stricken should | stand,
A mark for thy displeasure.
Lo. yet there comes thought to me;
see the poor and lowly,
With bending head and Bonded knee
Go cleaning, cleaning slowly.
They did not SOW, they did not NOW,
Dropt ears is all they gather.
Wouldst take such labor even now
My gleanings, O my Father
