A LIFE of Matthew Arnold has
~ been contributed to the Eng
1 \ lish Men of Letters series by
Mr.. Herbert ". Paul. AS such
a work must, it contains considera-
Bile criticism and comment on Mat
thew Arnolds writings as well as
biography of the man. The personality
in his mission of critical essay-writing
that it is impossible to hardle the
former without the latter. So thorough
and conscientious was his scholarship
that one might almost say that he was
scholar first and man afterward-or,
rather. Englishman afterward; for his
mind was so peculiarly the representa-
tive and product of the best English
culture that the broader elements of
humanity seem subordinate in his char
acter In brief, he was typical Oxford
man of his generation; his learning was
both broad and thorough: he was q man
of the world in a high sense of that
phrase; but with people of a nationality
and habit of thought differing from his
own he had no instructive sympathy; he
did not always understand them; he
would have had to descend to lower
level to come into any close relation
with them. Perhaps, for that very rea-
son, his influence upon Anglo-Saxon lit
erature will be the more salutary. His
was not broadening so much as cor
rective influence; his tolerance was that
of taste and culture. rather than of
feeling; he had that passion for cor
rectness which cannot fail, in world of
slipshod inaccuracy, to be great and
lasting benefit to those touched by it.
He was not always, right-no man is;
but he always recognized the supreme
Importance of being right, and that is
the great thing.

one line in the poem called Absence .
Mr.. Paul justly says:
1.-The five words
The unplumb'd, salt, estranging sea-
can hardly be surpassed for curious
felicity in the English, if in any Ian
| guage."
Less felicitous is his comment on the
unique poem, "Self-Dependence," OF
which he says that the verses are pret-
ty, but such consultations never dried
a single tear. The poem begins:
Weary of myself, and sick of asking
What i am, and what ought TO be,
On this vessels PROV l stand, which bears me
| Forwards, forwards, Ger the starlit sea-
Dependence.
The poet then goes on to suggest the
calm self-dependence of the stars and
the sea as an example fer the troubled
human soul, and ends with the lines:
| Resolve to be thyself; and know that he
Who finds himself, loses his misery.
| 1t ought to be plain enough that
verses such as these are not in
tended as consolation for those def
mite woes which rend the spirit and
scar the heart-in a word, they are not
meant to dry tears, literally or figu-
ratively. The state of mind described
is that of the dreary, unsatisied ques-
toner of himself and the world: the
man who, having lost some youthful
illusions. is heart-sick and bewildered,
and drifting into morbid despair. To
such mind the cool, Unconditional
philosophy of Arnold is tonic. 1t is
high without being visionary, matter
of-fact without being commonplace or
cynical. More of it is found in EN-
pedocles on Etna," with it's quiet sar-
casms on the vanity of human expecta-
tions:
We would have inward peace,
Yet will not look within.
We would have misery cease
Yet Will not cease from sin.
We want all pleasant ends, but will use
no harsh means.
OF this poem Mr.. Paul unnecessarily
remarks that it is far below Rabbi Ben
Ezra There is no comparison be-
tween the two, any more than between
Arnold and Browning. AS well compare

THE ORIGIN OF SANDWICHES.

The everywhere popular sandwich,
without which no picnic party would
be complete, is said to owe it's name to
a certain English Lord Sandwich, who
was devoted gambler, At one time.
when more than usually absorbed in
the game, he had sat with the players
for more than twenty-four hours with
out even thinking of the necessity for
food. During a momentary pause In
the game his stomach asserted it's
rights, and he asked an attendant to
bring him anything which might be
obtained in the way of food. This con-
sisted Of a piece Of meat and two slices
# bread. AS matter of convenience,
bring them into the compass of one
hand while he played with the other,
the meat was put between the slices
of bread, and in that manner was de-
voured with great gusto. This peculiar
method of taking lunch Immediately
became popular, bearing the name of
its originator, and is one of the few
commendable heritages of the gaming
table,

FORCE INQUIRY
TO AID M'HUGH

LONDON, June 20.-The house of
commons spent the early part of the
night in discussing the case of the
Irish member, Patrick A. McHugh,
who yesterday was committed to Jail
for three months for contempt of the
special court which assembled at Sligo,
Ireland, June 6, under the crimes act,
and a number Of bitter denunciations
of this act were made from the Irish
benches.
A. J. Balfour, the government leader
in the house, finally agreed to appoint
the committee which it is customary to
nominate in the case of the arrest of
members of the house of commons, to
inquire into the facts of Mr.. McHugh's
apprehension and report them to the

POLITICAL OFF YEAR.

This will be an off-year in politics,
but it is going to develop some condi-
tions that will mark it as an epoch
making campaign. There is going TO
be a wide split up-not so much in
party names, as in unlocked for
results. There will be some big sur
prises when the returns come in. Labor
is going to cut a. figure-the first time
since the foundation of the government.
Labor tickets will be thick as black
berries. And the Socialists-well, they
II be in it all along the line, with a
great increase in vote and closer
sympathy from the working peoples
movement. Socialists are already gett-
ing tickets into the field everywhere,
and more determined spirit exists all
along the line of those opposed to the
trusts and their hirelings.

SAILORS: COMPLAINT.

A group of seamen were discussing
marine laws up in their headquarters
in the kalamazoo block yesterday,
when one Of them broke in, by saying:
Marine laws may be alright for the
steel trust, but they are Of no benefit
to the seamen. On the last trip hired
out from Conneaut to Duluth, and they
brought me articles of agreement to
sign. I could not read them, but signed
them without any question. They have
the faculty Of putting them before you
in such way that they appear all right
until they are tried. I was stoker
on the boat, but the ventilation was
so poor that I was: obliged to give up
at the 500. It was about 120 degrees
in the fire hold. T hired out on another
boat, and when Z came to Duluth I
visited the office here. for my pay,
which amounted to $5.25, but was po-
litely told that had nothing coming,
as violated my agreement. They then
read the agreement to me, which ap-
peared to be as different as night is
from day. After finding that I could
get no satisfaction, I went to the
United States commissioner, who said
that he could do nothing for me. Well,
gave up in disgust Possibly the steel
trust needs the money worse than I,
but in any event they have the law all
in their favor"
Well, why shouldn't they? They will
have the laws in their favor so long as
you vote for men to congress who are
favorable to them, All the steel trust
wants in legislative halls are. safe men.
Is it not time for labor to think about
getting some safe men there also? An
drew Fureseth and other seamen who
have been working in congress for the
past ten years in the interest Of meas
ures for the relief of sailors, who are
held in involuntary servitude, perhaps
will testify to this.

SOCIALIST GAINS.

The result of the national election in
France is now known. The Conserva-
tives held the same number of seats
that they held in the last parliament,
the Nationalists have net loss Of two,
the. anti Ministerial Republicans lose
nine, the Republicans lose II, the Radi-
Gals gained three seats, the Socialist
Radicals two, the Socialists four. and
the Guesdist Socialists one. The totals
are as follows: Conservatives have 50
members, Nationalist So, anti Min
fsterial .Republicans 80, Republicans
III, Radicals 80, Socialist Radicals 80,
Socialists 43, and Guesdists 6. : So the
Radicals and Socialists are steadily
gaining ground and the government is
more dependent upon them than ever.

BOYS. ON STRIKE.

Thirteen hundred drivers and check
boys for: the great stores Of Chicago
went out on strike last week. The
employers met and decided they would
run their own business But they came
down off their perch when they found
the working people had some interests
in that business" and capitulated af-
ter twoa days. No industry can operate
without working people. They are the
most important element in it. They
are deserving Of higher consideration
than the capital invested. And they
are rapidly becoming aware of their
superior rights and in the near future
they will demand voice in every de-
tail Of that business which stands on
their labor. intelligence and patronage.
The day Of labor is dawning.

FIGURES THAT TALK.

Figures are usually dull things, but
when applied to Ringing Brothers
great circus they become luminous.
Perhaps nothing could give better
idea of the magnitude of this man.
moth amusement institution than an
enumeration of the following facts:
There are twenty big and little tents,
and they cover ground space Of
twelve acres. If the thousands of yards
of canvas used in this city Of tents
were torn into strips foot wide, they
would reach two hundred. miles.
The main hippodrome pavilion is two
hundred and fifty feet wide and four
hundred feet in lenght, and can COM
fortably seat a population Of city
containing $4,000 persons. After dispos-
ing Of the audience, there is still
enough room on the hippodrome track
to maneuver an army of 5000 men.
The menagerie pavilion is fraction
smaller than the hippodrome tent, but
the poles and cordage used in it's con-
struction would mast and rig an entire
squadron of sailing vessels.
The tickets used for a single perfor-
nance, when the main tent is filled to
its capacity, if placed end to end, would
extend a mile.
The show travels on its own special
trains of cars. These cars cover a
mile Of track and travel $4,000 miles
every season.
There are thirty elephants in the
menagerie-more than half the ell
ephants in the United States, and more
than have ever before been seen in q
single herd. Extended in single file
the elephants would make a line three
hundred and fifty feet in length.
The shows owns two hundred and
eighty draught horses, one hundred
ring and thoroughbred racing horses,
sixty trick horses and sixty Shetland
ponies-an aggregate of five hundred
costly equines. To house these horses
ION the road" requires a greater ground
space than is used by any other circus
for it's entire exhibition. The average
daily food consumption of these horses
is ten tons Of hay, three hundred
bushels of oats, twenty-five bushels of
corn and an immense amount of bran
The circus comprises three hundred
highsalaried performers. Among them
are sixty acrobats, sixty aerialists,
thirty riders. forty clowns, and i great
array of otne1 artists. The business
and executive departments OF the show
utilize the services of over a hundred
agents and superintendents. The work
Ing people embrace an army of six
hundred experienced and Disciplined
men.
The performance is given in three
rings, on two stages, in mid-air and
upon huge quartermile hippodrome
track, and Is presented upon scale
Of krandeur and magnificence such as
the. Snowman of twenty years ago
never even dreamed of. The date of
the show in Duluth is the coming Mon
day, June %, and it will be the biggest
amusement event of the. year. Reserved
