1t seems like the irony of Fate
that the above letter should be ad-
dressed to Callahan that wind
jamming patriot that rushed up
and down the county last fall,
preaching the gospel of Fusion
salvation and fat salaries, and de-
claring on highways and in byways
that the Fusionists were giving us
mOiel government. AS Auditor he
knew all about the manner in which
the county was being Systematically
robbed. but instead of doing his
duty as County Attorney Graham
is doing his, he conuived to con zeal
the facts. On the stump he denied
the very charges contained in he
above letter, then made by the
HERALD. Mr.. Graham's letter
places Callahan in most pitiable
light before the public. But that
is neither here nor there at this time

interested in is the recovery of the

MEDIOCRE MODERN VERSE.
According to This Authority There
Has Been a Decline in English
POetical Expression.

The verse in our current magazines
sustains the statement SO generally
made that the age of poetry in the
sense of imaginative Interpretation
of life and nature is past. Some of it
consists of cynical or semi-humorous
comments in rhyme on men and wom-
en- and society and, though witty and
forcible, is, in effect, an acknowledge
ment that the question which the great
poets of the past have at least stated
in novel form are to be avoided as per-
picking, if not insoluble, says the Hart
ford Courant. Much of it is description
of natural objects, scenery, aspects of
nature and the like, correct in form.
but not suffused with feeling, which
alone prevents descriptive poetry from
being tame and prosaic. The whole
seems devoid of energy, as if written to
order and after a model. There is moth
ing that a reader cares to memorize
or even cut out and paste in his scrap
book. The fatal lack of poetic energy,
both of thought and expression, is
everywhere apparent, evinced not only
by the fact that the quatrains or SON.
nets to which writer's confine them
selves, though neat, ,antithetical and
polished, are not striking. They lack
the power to make us think, in most
cases they lack the power to hold our
attention. They seem to be written
from habit, not from the outburst of a
slow-gathered impulse. They Are usu-
ally piancpd at and skinned nv road
ers. AS rule they are good evidence
in the affirmative of the question:
HAS the age of poetical expression in
the English language passed 2"
All the verse in our modern periodic
ais has, however, one quality; it is cor
rect. On reading SO poems-or bits
of verse'-in the magazines of the
month we find no straining of poetic
licenses" only two instances of imper-
feet rhymes and only three or four in
stances of redundant syllables. The
meter formula is carefully observed,
misplaced accents are rare as strong,
vigorous lines are. All is "splendidly
regular, Jelly dull" The gayety and
the seriousness are alike machine
made" and the lines in which they are
embodied are sandpapered and war;
nished to perfection. The poet does
not hum tune carelessly like Burns
or fervidly like Shelly; he plays his
scales on piano in perfect tune. May
not this perfection be one of the rea-
sons for the deplorable ineffectiveness
of modern verse?

straight down into the deepest struc-

and coil around till they look like a
fishing line that has been thrown down
wet. Enclosed in this knot are little
veins that leak the perspiration

SILVER PLATE IN WINTER.
when Not In Constant Use Should BE
Put Away In Flannel or
ChamOis Skin.

Silver in winter requires especial
attention. Gas from coal fires as well
as from burners furnishes and dis
colors. The sulphur from India rub
Der is also inimical to silver, so that
the ring around the neck of a fruit
jar will in a few hours turn spoon
black. That silver not in everyday
use should be kept in cases made of
Canton flannel or of chamois skin.
The latter, because more impervious
to moisture, is best. The case may
be long and narrow, with a strip of
silk or ribbon down the center, and
loops into which spoons and knives
are to be slipped. This open case can
be covered with any suitable mate
rial. 1t is to be folded, when the ar
ticles are in it, and kept in drawer
or separate case, together with a
piece of camphor gum, which helps to
KEEP silver from furnishing. Large
pieces of silver require separate bags
made to fit, and forks need separ-
ate receptacle. When from neglect,
plate has grown much spotted, rigor-
Gus measures are required. In that
case take one spoonful of ammonia
to 16 of vinegar, rub over the stains
rapidly and at once plunge into hot
soapsuds. Any substance which is
srtong enough to remove stains will
eat the surface of silver and must not
be permitted to remain, says Good
Housekeeping.
Silver in constant use needs only
to have a daily wash in scalding suds.
then to be rinsed in water equally
hot and wiped dry, so that for Icing,
time it will be bright without extra
care. Table salt applied to the dis
colorations produced by the sulphur
in eggs will remove it at once.
Whiting applied with moistened
cloth, rubbed on soap, will usually be
all that is necessary. Should the
plate have been neglected a long
time, the cloth may first be moist.

Engraved and repousse silver needs

Electric Lights for Trains.

Electric train lighting has now
passed the experimental stage and
bids fair to displace other systems for
the illumination of passenger trains,
on account of its cheapness and safety.
1t is the only absolutely safe method,
since, in case of wreck, there is no in
fiammable material, such as gas CT
oil, to cause fire in the wreckage. At
the same time, electric lighting from
batteries fed by dynamos driven by
the car axle has proved itself SO
cheap that in Austria, where the sys-
tenn has been worked out very fully,
it is found that electric lighting is
cheaper than oil, gas or candles
