Whittier and HOLMES.

Whittier was the opposite of Holmes he was
the poet of the plain people born among them
and never parting company by virtue Of educa-
ton or that sort of growth which involves
change in social surroundings. His Quaker blood
distinguished him from the others, who were
ali Unitarians but the distinction is usory, for
his Ouakersm did for him precisely what Unita-
rianism did for them in giving mildness and
breadth to his religious spirit. It is by his piety
that he most appeals now to the general heart !;
by his "reminiscences OF the outward form Of
New England country life and its domestic types,
as in "Snowbound," he near TO the homes
of the community a whole, while as the anti
slavery poet he held specific and historic place
in the life of the times the three strains Of
interest especially when felt through the me-
dium of his single goodness, preserve his fame
moreover, as a peoples poet whose humble man
hood remained unspoiled, he is assured of long
memory. AS a type Of character he was as ap-
propriate for the country as Holmes was for the
city though both high types, and though il
may seem paradoxical. Whittier had vastly the
greater range. Both were deeply rooted in the
soil, and had native history in their blood both
too, we're provincial in way that their three
great contemporaries were not,.-PRoP. GEORGE

Denver, Col, May 3o.-The first
positive declaration of large labor
body against the sympathetic strike
has been made by the national con
svention of the brotherhood Of Rail
way Trainmen in the form of reso-
luton which received unanimous zap
proval, based upon sentiments ex-
pressed by Grand Master Morrissey.
He said in part:
The question of its ability to pro-
tect its working agreements is now a
prominent factor in determining the
responsibility of labor orgaAiza-
ton. The organization that repre-
sents employees in making an ar
rangement that is acceptable to them
and shrinks responsibility when in
dividuals disturb the peaceful rela-
tons between employees and employ
er is not of the type that will com
mard confidence. We predict the
time will come when we will regard
the contract breaker, whether mem
Der or nonmember, with as much con-
tempt as we now do the scab.''
