We reprint today John Hays poem,
slim Bludso OF the Prairie Belle" which
was published In a book containing other
poems by the present secretary OF state,
in 1871. III the idea of the rugged and i'm
moral westerner carrying terrific virtue
in his healthy heart, and performing an
net of fine heroism seems a little familiar
TO us now, 1t is the recitations written
since that have made It so, for in 1870
John Hay was pioneer in understanding
she splendid genuineness OF the Western
pioneers.
1t will occur to some OF our readers
That the John Hay who delighted to move
with exquisite polish in the exacting cir
rles Of British court. was not the John
Hay who thrilled with admiration of Jim
Bludso. 1t is rather singular trans
formation. and the moro so because the
very latest achievement of the secretary
OF state, in handling the Chinese crisis
without gloves. shows that the new pol
SSH is merely manner. not essential
weakness.
1t is fine thing, in 1900, for a secretary
OF state to have written Jim Bludso'' in
us7o.
