Here is an old story Of an Irish court
of law: Mr.. Curran, the renowned Irish
lawyer, on one occasion was trying
case before Lord Avonmore and STU
pid Dublin jury, by whom his best
flights of eloquence and wit were wholly
unappreciated. Addressing them, with
side glance at the judge, he stated
that Hesiod, famous Greek historian,
had exactly expressed his views, and
quoted two lines OF Latin. "Why, Mr..
Curran," said the judge, "Hesiod was
a poet, not an historian, and the lines
you quote are not Greek, but Latin;
they occur in Juvenal." Curran con-
tended that they were Greek, and the
dispute grew warm. At last Curran
said, "Well, my lord, l see we must dis
agree. If it were a matter of law, l
should bow to your lordship's opinion,
but it is one of fact, and rests with the
jury to decide. Let US send it up as
collateral issue to the jury, and I'll be
bound that they will-6nd it Greekp

Bryan as an Editor.

The Richmond Dispatch has some
very able reflections on Mr.. Rryan's
journalistic venture, and 1t is not alto
gether clear that the late Democratic
candidate for the Presidency will make
d success OF his paper II he relies too
much on his own personality to hold his
subscribers after he gets them. 1t Is
the opinion OF the Dispatch that Mr..
Bryan has stronger hold on his ad-
mirers as an orator than he would e1-
ercise as a mere editorial writer.
The Dispatch very cogently remarks
that Mr.. Bryan's reputation has been
made as a public speaker. He was an
editor for some years, and did not elcc-
trify the country. His power seems to
be with the tongue rather than with
the pen. So he need not be surprised
to find that the masses arc less electri.
fed by his writings than by his ora.

why he should not rely upon his own

bring It subscribers. but he cannot
hope to keep them" unless he prints

That Mr.. Bryan hopes to make the

will be gratIflcd will depend very much,
indeed, upon the practical sense and

"High" and Glow" Protection.


Some Of the Republican papers Of the

cause them to lean towards lower tariff

either. There are high duties." 4.

y speciilc duty OF 20 cents or an ad-
loren duty of 20 per cent. is sufficient

is not low protection; 1t is no protec-
ton. i.zs
Let US never again repeat the ex-
pertinent OF 1883. when, In spirit of
concession and compromise, we proved
that q low tariff on wool was as ruin

I still much to accomplish on the lines Of
protection. We have yet to establish

Mr. Frederic Harrison has very un-
comfortable article in the December
number of the North American Review
on "Christ!anity at the Grave OF the
Nineteenth Century" which Is quite

answer to Balfours book on THE

course, to the belief Of the Church of
England. Mr.. Harrison maintains that
this work contained nothing new, ex-
cept "the pathetic dreaminess with
which cynical pessimIsm and incurable
doubt about all Truth was shown to
lead up to practical support Of the or
thodox creeds." Mr.. Harrison then
takes occasion to say:
