SECRETARY GAGE NOT GOING.
To Stay in Washington While the
President Is AWAY.

Secretary Gage has decided not TO ac-
company the President to the Pacific
Coast, and he will probably be the only
member of the Cabinet to remain be-
hind when Mr.. Mckinley makes his
swing around the circle. The President
has felt that since his trip will occupy
nearly seven weeks. some high represent
tative OF the Government should remain
in Washington. Secretary Gage said he
would be very glad to stay here as he
is perhaps more averse to travelling than
the other members OF the Cabinet

TroIIope, BaIzac. and ThncLerny,

The "Bookman" for April contains an
article on Anthony Trollope, by Prof.
Harry Thurston Peck, whose opinions
of the surrounding universe are usually
distinguished for their originality If not
for their force. In this particular article
he has rather outdone himself, and IL
any more startling fiat is to go forth
concerning the merits Of the worlds
great authors. the public really ought TO
have the thing broken gently. Prof
Peck picks out Trollope. Balzac. and
Thackeray as the three great realists Of
their time. and his estimate of their
merits is indicated by the order in
which they are mentioned above He
says:
"Trollope has never descended To the
inanity Of Bslzsc at his worst, II he could not
have pcnned book sombre and 80 terrible
'Cousine Bette neither could he have brought
himself to perpetrate 80 wildly meaningless a
tereed as 'seraphita. -
Again:

tTay's and always with perfect comprehension

London life. too. and much more fully tisn
1hackeray has done. for he shows Us In a Sc
ries Of brilliant novels the very penetTala Of the
political world Thackeray never could have

The remarks Of Prof. Harry Thurston
Peck are not likely TO have much eff
feet upon the fame of either of the nov
elists whom he thus pleasantly patron
lies. Possibly he is. ia one respect, su-
perior even TO them, II is unlikely that
ThaclSeray would have been SO widely

Significant Terms From Denmark.

In the terms said to have been inn
posed by Denmark, as prerequisite TO
the cession Of the Danish West India
Islands to the United States, it seems to
us that there is a lesson for the Admin
istration which it would be imprudent
to overlook. Denmark, in common with
the rest of the world, evidently has
heard of the manner in which we have
treated our Territory of Porto Rico. and
does not intend that the Constitution of
the United States shall be similarly vio-
lated to Cypress the people Of st.
Thomas and Santa Cruz.
Accordingly, as reported, Denmark
prescribes the following conditions in
offering her Antillean islands 10 this
country: Four million dollars is to be
paid into the Danish treasury. The
population of the ceded territory are to
be permitted to elect whether they will
be Danish or American. If they vote TO
be transferred TO the United States they
are Immediately to become American
citizens. Finally, and there the hitch
will come, absolute free trade between
the islands and the United States is to
be guaranteed
The terms are reasonable, and what
they call for ought to be a matter Of
course. without terms. But the Danish
Ministry is wise in providing ahead
against the oppression which, without
some binding engagement in advance,
would be certain to be visited upon the
Inhabitants of the ceded territory. 1t is
possible. however, that they may result
in breaking off negotiations altogether,
and in defeating the transaction. The
Danish islands principally produce rum,
and one variety of it-that made from
the fiavorous juice of the ripe pineapple
needs but TO be sampled 10 be appre-
ciated. Even the standard Santa Cruz
rum of the locality is popular bever-
age in many lands. All the native runs
are superior to the brain destroying ar
ticle produced in New England for the
conversion of the Guinea Coast negroes.
On that account we are apprehensive
that Senators Lodge, Hoar, Plat, AL
drich, and Hale will see a danger to the
free institutions of our Union in the
acquisition of the Danish West
Indies. There is great deal of Med
ford rum in New England philanthropy
and patriotism. Sometimes, even, it
gets the upper hand. and causes a street
car conductor to be discharged.
The only favorable feature of the
island industrial situation is that the
area is so email that the objections of
the Rum Trust may be overcome. We
hope that this may be the case, since, in
case We ever build the Nicaragua Canal,
st. Thomas and Santa Cruz would make
excellent coaling stations and naval
bases. Indeed, we could hardly do
without them, and certainly could not
afford to leave them open to occupation
by foreign Power.

comment may be useful. "Seraphita' is
not exactly wildly meaningless
screed" but it is novel which it is
somewhat difficult to appreciate without
some study. and possibly the neophyte,
accepting this criticism. might refuse To
give it study, and thus be robbed of a
pleasure The genius of Balzac lay
partly in the fact that he seemed to
comprehend, by experience. study, or
intuition, every possible phase of life.
In "Seraphita" he handles the most
mysterious and subtle theories of Swe-
denborgiansm. and the deepest truths
Of mysticism. with touch as bold and
skillful as that with which he depicts
Partisan salon or the life of provincial
town.
As for the comparison between
Thackeray and Trollope, nobody Is like
ly to take that seriously anyway. Those
who read Thackeray and enjoy him viii
meet Prof. Peck's decree that they
mustn't with wicked grin: and those
who do not care for him will wonder
who in the world Trollope can be: they
never heard OF him. All the same, this
article possesses certain literary in
terest as a curiosity. II arouses in the
mind a vague questioning as to what
the authors next departure in the line
of criticism is likely TO be. Possibly we
shall find him declaring that the works
of Laura Jean Libbey are superior to
those of Hawthorne. or that Alfred AUS
tin is greater poet than any other
laureate who ever lived.

a bit sulky. But he was assured that the
religion and social practices and institu-

after which he felt better and admitted
that American champagne was better
than the raki, namely. New England
rum, to which he, in common with all
other Mohammedan potentates, had been
accustomed. Assured of the safety of his

Another ridiculous food fad has been

notion that one kind of food is needed
for the brain, another for muscles,

diet will not only nourish a particular
part of the body. but it will sustain
every other part. Yet, however good
your food may be, its nutriment is de-
stroyei by indigestion or dyspepsia.
