Ynwpx and Other Things.

This is the original and unique title given
to collection of poems or verses of very
distinctive and peculiar kind. most OF
which have appeared on the editorial page
OF the New York Sun. The author is Mr.
William j. Hampton. and he has created
school of poetry, or semi-poetry. which Is
quite unlike any other. The "Yawps' which
compose this volume consist of short, jerky
compositions, most Of which are devoid or
rhyme. but full of breezy humor. keen wit
and wholesome good feeling Some of the
short poems show fine poetic feeling, others
are very mirth provoking. and IL may be
truthfuly said there is not dull page in
the book. 1t Is published by the Henry

Songs of All Lands.

Prof. w. S. B. Mathews, of Chicago, has
had the happy thought of making a col
lection of patriotic. national and folk songs
of many countries. Some Of these are very
well known in this country. but others are
new to native Americans. Some of the
newest and best are from Bohemian, Rus
sian, Norwegian. and Danish sources which
hitherto have been neglected. The book
has been prepared especially for schools
and social gatherings and contains many
English part songs and glees. The music
is in three and four parts and many of the
English selections have piano-forte accom-
paniments. 1t is published by the Ameri-
can Book Company, Cincinnati.

THE VENOM OF THE DIsGRuNTLED.

The New York Sum- speaking of the ene-
mics of George ;, ashington who so ven
omousIy assaied him, says that they ''were
jealous rivals. hypocriticai friends. ma
licious partisans and rejected Office
seekers" The statement is true as
whole. and it Is emphaticaly true Oh
rejected officeseekers and officeholders who
vere dismissed for inefficiency and dis
honesty. Throughout his public career the
men who conspired TO overthrow Washing
ton or assailed him on personal grounds
were men whom he had assisted TO public
place and who turned out badly in the end
and those upon whom he refused to confer
official position. General Gates wrote let

he could safely do so. Washington be-

on his exemplary virtues" but when
Washington refused to make him post
master general he issued a pamphlet in
which, addressing Washington in the second
person, he said: 'As for you, sir, treacher-
Gus in private friendship and a hypocrite in
public life, the world Will be puzzled TO de-
eide whether you are an apostate or an i'm
postor, whether you have abandoned good
principles or whether you ever had any,"
And this change from iatterer to assailant
came about because Washington did not
make Paine postmaster general. If Wash
ington had been investigated all the men
whom he dropped because of unfaithfulness
and those whom he did not appoint would
have been eager to testify against him and
would have presented ISLANDERS born of their
malice.
Since Washington every President has
had his list of ingrates, long or short in
/ proportion to the quality of their public
service. Lincoln had a goodly list who al

them comforters of the leaders of the re-
bellion. Charity prevents naming some of
! them. Grant had a long list, including
men who deserted their party to assail him.
Some were dismissed from the public serv-
ice, and the claims of others to patronage
were not allowed. When the Democrats in
vestigated his administration in 1875 and
1876 drag net was sprea- which brought
to the surface every dismissed public serv-
ant with his story of rascality, while men
in Congress assailed the Grant admnistra-
ton for it's alleged iniquities. Unfaithful
ex-subordnates and senators alike were in
spired with grievances growing out of
patronage These are facts worth remem-
bering, and they should establish a prece-
dent that the stories of discharged officials
and subordinates should be accepted as tes-
timony only SO far as substantiated by
other witnesses.

The hearings before the committee in
Council to compel the railroads to elevate
their tracks discloses the fact that the
manufacturing and business interests Of
the city are very largely opposed to the
measure. The accidents incident TO grade
crossings are dep!orable. but ten serious
accidents occur on the lines of the street
railways to one at steam-railway crossings;
yet no one urges the elevation OF the
tracks OF the street railways.

This little volume. edited by George a
Watrous, contains selections from the
essays of Thomas Darlington Macaulay
which deal with literary themes. The
essays chosen are those on Milton, Dryden,
Addison. Bunyan, Goldsmith and Johnson
Macaulay treats his subjects from the his
torical rather than the analytical stand
point, and thus covers wide range in the
progress of events and development or
thought. This method prevents the essays
from being in a strict sense literary, but
they nevertheless give an insight into the
literature of the time which can only come
from understanding of general condi-
tons then existing. Mr.. Watrous mas done
a service to students in putting THESE
essays in such convenient form. Ihomas

There is always such howl about the
lobby and its methods about legislatures
that many people believe a mint of money
Is spent in influencing members. The Jour-
nal has no faith in most of these stories
regarding the methods of the lobby. But

that legislatures do not ask those who print
columns about such influences TO come for

INDEPENDENCE OF CUBA.
Representative crIggs Thinks That it Should
 Soon Be Granted.

From the Washington Post.
 Representative Griggs, of Georgia, sauntered down the avenue yesterday, on his way from the White house. He was smiling.
 "I came all the way from Georgia to see the president before he started for the west, and when I saw him." said MT. Griggs, ''he asked me to come and see him after he returned from his trip. So here am, with my occupa- tion gone. ,"
 MT. Griggs is interested in having a young man appointed to the army, and believes that he will be successful, although the applicant has been omit ted from the first list.
 'I have been very much interested, Washington. Personally, l am in favor of complete independence for the Island of Cuba, although l suppose, as a matter of fact. that we will keep control there for some time to come, at any rate. ! am not one of those who criticiSe the Cubans for their de- lay in framing their government. We spent year trying to Iut our Consti- tutlon in shape, and it was two or three years later before all the States ratified the document. We ought not to be impatient because the Cubans do not accomplish in three months what it took us as many years to do."
 What do you think of the State- hood proposition?"
 Ut sounds plausible and attractive, but whether it will materalize is another question. If Cuba becomes a state, it will be republican at first and then it will go democratic, because the negro question will enter into politics there. 1 do not think we want any more States where the negroes are in the majority"

Al Fifteenth street a particularly buxom woman of middle age crowded into the car There was no seat for her and she stood glar- ing at the boy Later her displeasure vented itself into words. and she ex- pressed herself freely 10 the woman who stood next her about wouen who let their children occupy seats while ladies are standing. The worn woman flushed. but made no move to have the boy surrender his seat. The buxom woman still glared. and still expressed herself with extreme frankness. The boy sat still. At x street the mother rang the bell. As the car stopped she put her arms around the boy and lifted him to his feet, half carrying him to the door.
 Wont you take this seat?" she said to the buxom woman. "l am just talk ing him home from the hospital" And as the ear rolled on the buNom woman looked even warmer than the weather warranted. Washington Post.
