the galleries of the senate were pack
cd and the same was true on the

Monday in the house. Slowly but
surely, through the operation of the
Iceaseless roll calls. conference reports
to complete the necessary legislation
were ground out, and when the house
at o'clock recessed until 10 o'clock.
only two conference reports on the
appropriation bills were still undis-
posed Of-the general deficiency ana
the naval. The democratic opposition
did not abate The actual business
done during the eight hours of the
day session consisted OF the adoption
of conference reports on the immigra-
ton, public building and sundry civil
bills, reference of the presidents veto

the committee on war claims. the
adoption of a resolution to correct the
clerical errors in the immigration
bill and the passage. of the senate bill
to authorize the treasury department
to coin souvenir coins for the Thomas
Jefferson memorial association.
The final defeat of the Aldrich f.
nancial bill was witnessed in the sen
ate when it was displaced by the Phi
lippine tariff. Senator Aldrich ex-
planned in detail his measure and said
that a small number Of men in the
senate had deliberately, with malice
aforethOught, murdered it.

Madison. March AT the session
of the senate the governors veto
was read of the bill of Senator Mer-
ton. which amends the statutes con-
ferring civil. appellate and criminal
jurisdictions upon the county court OF
Waukesha county. The bin provides
that the salary OF the stenograPh.c
reporter shall be increased from S.
to $40 a day. The governor takes
the ground that it is special leglsIa-
ton. to which ne is opposed. and he
also holds that the county board at
present has authority to hire such
stenographic reporter, and that the
legislation IS unnecessary.

The Literary Outlook.
(BY HERBERT BREwsTER.)

Clarence S. DarroW, the well known
lawyer who conducted the case for the
miners in the recent series of hearings
before the Coal Commission, is about
to make an appearance in the book world
as an author. During the past year Mr.
Darrow has written a number of short
stories which he hopes to bring out in
volume before long The stories were all
written with a purpose-most of them are
about poor children, realistic stories of
real life" the author calls them.
This is not, however, Mr.. barrow S
first venture in writing for the general
public. Some time ago he wrote a num-
Der of mastery essays en- Tolstoi, Burns
and other we'll known writer's who were
/ at the same time men of the common
people Indeed in all of his work, Mr.
! Darrow's sympathies lead him into this
sort of expression-the Qualification or
uplifting of the poor of the under class.
His enemies call him an anarchist, q
socialist, a revolutionist, to all of which
the lawyer author agrees. His friends,
| however, tell you to read his essay on
! the doctrine of on-resistance.
In his Persian Pearl and other Es-
says" the volume of essays already re-.
( ferred to, Mr.. barrow has treated of
| Omar Kayyam, Walt Whitman, Burns and
other we'll known literary characters
from the point of view of a socialist, yet
not entirely so. His idea is to show
that these men were striving for 1.-The
| brotherhood of man and the kinship of
( all breathing things" Mr.. Darrow's
opinion of Whitman is worth quoting;
when the world looks back to the
doubt and confusion of today, Walt
Whitman will stand alone, the greatest,
truest, noblest prophet of the age. man
untainted by artificial life and unmoved
by the false standards of his time"
MIR. barrow is an out and out realist
81 doubt" said he the other day. ''wheth-
er any of the regular magazines would
print any of my stuff I try to write
with and for a purpose. I believe a
writer should write the truth and all of
it,"
As to his philosophy of life, probably
fair expression of it may be had in
his essay on Tolstoi
well may Tolstoi say, that We must
turn back from the false, unwholesome
luxury OF today, to the patient, simple
food. Well may he turn from his dis
SAPi0S' dS dhoCnef IeIornef ages since,
from the closed doors of the great and
| the barred temples of the God of Hosts,
| to the peasants, the fishermen, the pub
licans, the sinners, and the wandering
| homeless Magdalene.
Leo Tolstoi has the brain to see and
the strength to do. Amid the universal
clamor Of the crowd he has raised his
voice for Justice and for right, and his
: strong words and brave message will be
borne by other tongues, and upheld by
other lives until righteousness shall rule
upon the earth. In that day no man will
compel the service of his fellow man.

SEPARATIONS from the great eternal source
of life and art, and dream such dreams
and do such work as the world has
never known. Then art will become a
part of daily life, and daily life a part
of art To make one pair of shoes for
weary feet will be as worthy in the sight
of many as to write an epic poem or
compose a deathless song; to thatch one
roof as great as to paint the brightest
hues that the sunset ever wrought: and
to cool one parched tongue or hold out
one hand to guide your fellow mortal
through the dark. more than all the
sermons ever preached by man"
Of one thing we may be sure, Mr.. Oar
row is the biggest man in Chicago so
far as working people are concerned, and
since his connection with the coal COM
mission, working people all over the
country regard him as one of their
greatest heroes. His work in writing
for the general public is well worth
watching.

THE INTERNATIONAL QUARTERLY.

THE INTERNATIONAL QUARTERLY.
We doubt if better current number of
anv quarterly magazine has appeared in
the United States or in England, than the
Narch-June number of the International

Richardson, of Burlington. Vermont, and
republished in London by T. Fisher I'm

its superior paper, make it welcome to
every book-lov as specimen of excel
lent Typography; and its two hundred
and forty pages are filled with choice
and timely literature, contributed by
scholars and writer's of worldwide celeb
rity.
In the opening article Prof. T. w.
Rhvs- Davids, of the University College
of London. eminent as an oriental scholar
and author. compares and contrasts
Christianity with Buddhism. In spite of
certain similarities Professor Davis does
rot believe that the one borrowed from
the other.
Among the papers fourteen in all, one
of the most noticeable is a learned and
most interesting article on 1.-The Legend
of Death Among the Bretons.' by Anatole
LIE Braz, professor of literature in the
University of Rennes, France, himself
native of Brittany and filled with Celtic
lore, both of Ireland and France.
The April Cosmopolitan is carefully
balanced magazine. 1t appeals to the in
dividual tastes of the many, and the
many tastes of the individual. There are

Chief place is given to a striking article

It is a notable fact that many Englsh
writer's of sea stories are not English
men at all, but foreigners. Joseph on
rad is a Pole and Albert Sonnichsen, the
author of Deep Sea Vagabonds," is d
Dane. 1t is possible that Mr.. Sonnichsen
might call himself anything, for he has
made SO many countries his home, and
has dwelt under so many flags. Ever
since his early childhood he has wander
ed and his ancestors wandered before
him. None of the male members of his
family, on his fathers side, as far back
as memory goes, have died in the Land
of their birth--Denmark. So Mr.. Son
nichsen comes naturally by his wander
lust. When a mere lad he found the
call of the sea too strong TO be resisted
and deserving the parental roof, he
shipped as a commend sailor. From that
times on his way was the way of the
winds. He blew across all seas and into
all parts, and his experience during his
years of vagahondaSe furnished him the
material for his new book, which is
practically an autobiography. Some few
of his experiences have been on shore
among the a two years campaign in the
Philippines, which ended in ten months
captivity for him among the insurgents,
about which he has written a book, Ten
Months Captivity among the Filipinoes "

summer he CHANGED to read The Simple

simply here that eight editions of the

drawn enough conclusion. Recently the
President commented 1.-The Woman Who

as a result the book is one of the good
sellers. 1t happens that it was on this
