General Horace Porter, the Ameri-

for his photograph for his daughter.
The Chinese statesman kindly COM

Handing it then to the general, he ex-
planned that the left hand column con-

Emulsion restores the strength

The fact that it is the best

stepping Backward i'm Mississippi.

Returns from the Democratic primary
elections in Mississippi indicate the re-
nomination OF the Hon. HERNANDo DE
5oTo MONEY as Senator in Congress and
the nomination OF Ma jor JAMES Il. VAR
DAMAN as Governor Mr.. MONEY is
perhaps best known for his spirited at
tempt to make incsion into Washing
ton car conductor. Governor LONGING,
his competitor for the nomination, is
a progressive and moderate man, who
has tried to put down lynching and pro-
mote better state of feeling between
the whites and blacks.
Major VARDAMAN, who is to be Gov
ernor LoNGINO'S successor, seems to be
a negrophobist, a friend OF lynchlng ana
a person of the Lithuanian school OF
speech. Thank GOD, he said OF re-
cent popular performance, tho people
there, as soon as they caught the negro,
broke his neck" II is useless for man
who talks in this fashion to protest that
if he were Governor he would send
troops to fight the mob, if the Sheriff
called for them.
More important than his views on
lynching, which seem to be held in great
many States just at present, is MAYOR
VARDAMAN's opposition TO the educa-
ton of the negroes. He believes in di-
viding the school money ameng the
whites and blacks in proportion to the
taxes paid by each race. This means
a deeper barbarism for the Mississippi
negroes, greater danger for the Missis-
sippi whites.
Major VARDAMAN's political amenty
may be judged from his description of
the President of the United States az
that wild bronco-busting, coon-havored
miscegenationist

Poetry and the Male Reader.

Those who observe the workings OF
the book market note that volumes OF
poetry continue to appear 1t Is true
that many, if not most, of them are pub
lished at the expense Of their authors,
but none the less there must be readers
somewhere for some Of these volumes.
Yet how difficult il is to find man who
will confess that he ever reads poetry?
There is sort of sneaking notion that
verses are for sentimental girls and
women and love-sick youths. They be-
long to the calf period of the masculine
existence, and are put aside with other
childish things when the real business
of life. the accumulation Of wealth and
the achievement of distinction, are I'm
dertaken.
The poet himself is marked man.
He is expected to wear long hair like a
star violinist and to speak in foolish Ian
guage not accepted as current coin OF
conversation in the places where men Of
affairs do congregate. 1t is not regarded
as becoming in him to wear clothes OF
fashionable cut or a hat with definite
shape. 1t is popularity believed that this
curious creature and all his works find
favor only in the eyes Of the gentler sex,
which, through its hunger for the out
ward demonstrations Of love, receives
poetry as the gospel of sentiment.
Yet barely a week goes by without
proof that man, base, sordid, money
seeking man, has secret appetite for
the music of verse, solitary pleasure
in that form of literature which idealizes
life. The evidences of this hidden love
are furnished largely by the morgue
Upon the person Of almost every suicide
is found some treasured scrap of verse,
frequently something written by the I'M
fortunate himself. Is this fact to be ac-
cepted as conclusive evidence of morbid
ity? To have il so accepted it would be
necessary first to show that the poetry
was collected after suicidal thoughts
entered the mind. In many cases the
nature of the poems shows that this
could not have been so. The verses were
long treasured expressions of thoughts
and feelings, which the possessor would
have been ashamed to own among his
fellows
The truth is that the soul of the most
ardent seeker after the material benefits
of life sometimes revolts and aspires.

nasssted by Conservatives, however
their opposition would have proved abor-
tive, for they We're greatly 0utnum-
bered by the nominal followers Of Senior
SlLyELA, who, but a short time before
the crisis, obtained an overwhelming
vote of confidence But the situation
was completely changed when Senior
VuLAyERDE, who, next to the late Pre-
mier, is the most influential man in the
Conservative party, interposed IN the
debate, and vehementlv denounced what
he described az the impatient passion
for naval power" Under the circum-
stances, Senior SnvELA found it impOs-
sible to govern and presented his reslg-
nation to the King, who thereupon sent
for Senior VILLAvERDE, and requested
him to form Ministry. For the present
it is settled that no attempt will be made
to create Spanish navy.
The new Cabinet is expected to pursue
a more concliatory course toward politi-
cal opponents than did its predecessor,
and it may thus be able to postpone
revival of the Republican agitation with
which the Bourbon dynasty is threatened.
1t remains to be seen whether Senior
VILLAvERDE will countenance the move
ment against the religious orders, and
especially against those engaged in edu
cntional functions, which, of late, has
gained much ground in Spain. What
renders any attempt to check clericalism
extremely difficult for Spanish states
man is the knowledge that the support of
the Vatican has been the sheet-anchor of
the monarchy. Without it. ALFONSO XII.
and his widow, the Queen Regent, would
have been confronted by Carlist insur-
rection on the one hand and Republ-
can rebellion on the other For that
reason, il behooves a statesman really
loyal TO the reigning dynasty to move
with warness in path that may lead
him to antagonize the interests of the
Catholic Church
1t is, in truth, problem of e1traordi-
nary complexity which Spain has to
solve. A rare conjunction of patriotism
and wisdom with suspicious circlm-
stances will be required TO solve it, For
tunately for the immediate future of his
country, Senior VILLAvERDE is generally
recognized as patriot and wise man.

NEWARK. Aug J."
In spite OF the Hens,hall statement
that inch for inch, pound for pound, the
small-mouth black bass has no equal
for gameness, we fancy that our Corre-
spondent's hint is well worth taking
The testimony of rod and reel men who
love to cast into "slick" for blues and
who have also fished for salmon, for
trout and for small-mouthed black bass
far away from the sea, runs clearly in
one direction. II is that there is no such
ravenous bitter, and no such fghting
devil in any water, as bluetish. His
grasps are startling, his PUSHES amazing,
and his staying power is all that the
most enthusiastic angler can desire, and
more too.
1t is claimed by many fresh water
fishermen that the black bass is a harder
bitter and more lively fellow on his fins
than a trout. But there are anglers
who scout that idea, and insist that its
origin comes from the lazneSs Of liver
fed pet trout in certain preserves and
ponds. Now, there are trout and trout,
and as gentle lzAAK wisely remarks,
their size and character depend not
upon the depth or the width of stream
or river, but upon the soil through which
the waters flow. In some localities the
brook trout are short winded and Ian
guild In others they seem to compare
favorably in battle, pound for pound, 4"
with the most savage bluefsh.
But the black bass was never built
for racer, or a wrestler. He is kicker
and an accomplished dancing master, and
that is about all that can be said in his
favor on the line, however good he may
be on the table. Moreover, he is not n
speckled beauty, and although we are
