EDMUND CLARENCE STEDMAN
Poet. Critic. Friend of Aspiring Authors


strain put upon him by writer's who in
yaded his home and read their poems
and prose productions aloud TO get his
verbal criticism.
In person Mr.. Stedman is a slight,
dapper body who carries his sixty odd
years with the grace of 80. His fea-
lures are regular, eyes blue, beard
snow white and combed out wide.
There Is nothing about him OF the long
haired, frayed coated negligee affected
by the traditional poet. He Is as nea I
and as well groomed as the most pre-.
else and leisurely clubman In his
youth Bohemia had attractions for the
budding litterateur, but the more sen-
Gus and orderly phases OF life soon APP
pealed the stronger and the most that
can be said of Stedman's jovlal side is
that he is genial with all OF his kind Of
whatever rank. In his association as
we'll as In his literary likings he Is dem.
ocratic He is a social eyolutonlst, not
a social reyolutionist, and Is friend OF
the oppressed. The gems Of Mr.. sted-
mans own art belong 10 the past, the
era OF youth, before he became a critic.
His poems reveal the quality before re-
ferred to as the keynote to his life,
courage and fidelity 10 the ideal--truth,

means to devote his best thoughts to
literary production, he hit upon the
banking business as one of short hours
and a real relaxation from mental eff
fort like chess or cards. After day
In Wall street and an evening In New
York literary society, the author would
take up his pen at midnight and devote
four or five hours to composition.
As a poet Stedman's lyrical faculty Is
strongest, his critical faculty comes
next When writing, he always seized
upon theme Of passing interest. In
deed. everything that stedman has
done shows him to be in touch with his
time, his environment. He Is in no
sense a brooding recluse. Wall street

For many years Stedmans house was

lier years Of the rivalry between New
York and the Hub In 1883 financial
misfortune compelled the poet to give
UP his fine mansion and seek humber
quarters, This reverse, coming in mid

soul Of Stedman, and he set to work in
his banking house and In his study TO
retrieve his fortunes 1t was at this
time that Stedman became collaboration

" Stedman has crowned his
career as critical editor
Of the English poetry Of the nineteenth
century This volume was preceded by
"a Victorian Anthology (lS95l. Poets
OF America" 1sS6) and Victorian

same literary field as the two last
named works. the anthologles are the
results Of the highest critical discern
ment and, so TO speak. pronounce the
editors best judgment upon the
achievements OF this age In the art Of
poetic expression.
IAN American Anthology was not
designed as a treasure house Of imper-
ishable American poems, but is a COM
pilation of poems selected to illustrate
Mr.. stedmans critical review OF the
American poets and poetry Of the nine
teenth century. The design and execu-
ton of the anthologies fifty indicate the
character OF their compiler. Mr.. sted-
man has all the courage and independ-
ence OF the ldealst and at the same
time the painstaklng conscentiousnes
OF the man OF action. He strikes fear
lessly to the heart OF things, but gives
no snap judgments.
Intimate friends Of the banker-poet-
editor say that he Is a many sided man
and must be judged on all sides, He
has been at one and the same time for

As TO Medals.

The Washington Post makes per
tinent suggestion respecting the design
for the reverse side of the Sampson
medal-some times miscalled the Sam
tlago medal. There is possibly strain
of sarcasm in the Posts suggestions,
but as the navy department has deter
mined to make Sampson the hero of
naval operations in American waters,
the medal should bear some token of
his direct participation in the fighting.
So the Posts suggestion is entitled TO
seriods consideration, and if there is
semblance Of levityin the manner of the
making there can be nothing invidious
in it, but it is probably born of JOY in
the prospect of due commemoration
of a great event in the career of the
commander who did not command.
Nevertheless, this reflection may be
not impairment: Had the government
intended to devise medal to comment
crate Sheridan's great victory of Cedar
Creek, or Sherman's campaign to At
lanta, capture of the city and march
thence to the sea, or Thomas crushing
victory over Hood at Nashville, would
the secretary of war have placed the
head of Grant on this medal? But
Grant was commander in chief of the
armies of the Union and had at least
as direct participation in the exploits
of Sheridan, Sherman or Thomas as
had Sampson in the operations OF the
fleet in the battle of July 3, 1898.
Probably Grant had a much more direct
part in those signal campaigns, but if
the attempt had been made to place
his likeness on medals commemorative
the victories that crowned them, whose
instant, indignant and effective oppo-
sition would the proposition have en-
countered? That of General Ulysses s.
Grant. The Great Commander had
high ideas of the eternal fitness OF
things.

Suggestion for the Santiago Medal.

We are delighted to hear, through
the medium of London special to the
New York Sun, that very much over
looked incident in the war of 1898 b as
been immortalized by Spanish artist
and so redeemed from undeserved OBJ
livion. The announcement is of spe-
cial value and significance at this time,
because Secretary Long has, in his in
scrutsbe wisdom, decided to perpet-
uate Admiral Sampson on the face of
the Santiago medal, and it is therefore
important in the last degree that the
only act of destruction achieved by our
fleet while Admiral Sampson was per-
sonally directing its operations should
be celebrated on the reverse. Need we
say that we refer to the Matanzas
mule?
Let uS peruse in proper spirit the
Suns despatch above mentioned:
London, July 1.-According to the Daily
Neios there is to be exhibited in Madrid u
mar BILE sculpture by an Andslusan artist
representing the noted Matanzss mule just
after he received his death wound from an
American shell during the late war. The
sculptor obtained the dying expression by

Old Home Week.

The success of the celebration of
Old Home Week in Montpelier is fully
assured. Rev. George B. Spalding
and Captain Charles e. Clark, it has
been for some time known, will be
present, and on Thursday a dispatch
was received from ex-senator Thurs

and the great day of Montpelier's Gel :
bration. 1t is not yet known that Ad-
miral Dewey will come. DIR. Spalding
warmly approves the plan of celebra-
ton, and what the reverend doctor and
John M. Thurston cannot do, in the
way of interesting speech and reminis-
cence, to make the occasion one of the
halcyon kind in the Old Home Week
festivities, is not worth recounting.

LIBERAL PARTY.

LONDON, July 3.-The crisis in the
ranks of the liberal party has reached
an acute stage. Although the rumors
that Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman
has already resigned the leadership of
the party are premature, meeting of
the party has been suddenly convened
for Tuesday, July 8, when it is expect
ed he will virtually offer his resigna-
ton.
The imperialist section of the liberal
party, headed by Herbert FL. Asquith,
former liberal home secretary, has been
doing it's utmost to enlist Lord Rose
berry on its side, but up to the present
time the latter has made no sign of
meeting its desires. Lord Roseberry
arrived at Vienna from Gastein on
Monday on his way to England. He
will arrive in London next Friday.
Should he be willing to resume the
leadership and support Mr.. Asquith, it
is probable the latter will become the
party leader in the House of Com
mons.

BRITISHERS WIN.

HENLEY ON THAMES, July 5.-Lean-
der won the grand challenge cup race
from the University of Pennsylvania
by length. Time 7 minutes fat.
For the ninth time in the history Of
the Henley regatta the Leander rowing
club won and for the third time the
American crew was defeated.
Warm weather drew thousands to
the course. Americans were every
where in evidence animated by the
hope that Pennsylvania would carry
the challenge cup home.
Pennsylvania got away first. AT the
Rectory the Americans lead by quar-
ter length, but Leander hit up the
stroke to 40, pulling steadily ahead.
Foot by foot Leander continued to in
crease the lead and just as the grand
stand was reached, pulled clear, win
ming by an even length.
The Pennsylvania seemed rather
done up at the finish.

of the Sampson medal has been
definitely accepted, we do hope
that Secretary Long will consider
the claims of the Matanzas mule.
The Andalusian artist has taken a
great deal of pains with his marble
effigy of the victim OF Sampson's reso-
lutte and effective operations before
Matan zas. He has actually incurred
the expense Of shooting mule and
transferring his death agonies to
paper by instantaneous photography.
To be sure, the event was not pro-
claimed at the time through the medium
of tawdry dispatch presenting the
carcass to the American people; but
Sampson had whole lot more to do
with killing that mule than he had to
do with directing the United States
feet on July 8, 1898, and since we are
to have Sampson medal on one side,
why not make it a Sampson medal on
both?
Who cares for Santiago, anyhow
