HAWTHORNE'S WORKS.
The HiEh standard They Have Set
For American Literature.


Two things are 20 Toe remembered
when Hawthorne's name is mentioned
First. the glory he reflects upon Amer
lean literature. Little has been done
by Us IL letters or art that is quite Of
the highest order except the works OF
Hawthorne These have the clear
promise OF pcrpetuity. The themes are
~ supreme and universal moment. He
rises 20 their meaning and depicts them
IN commensurate form. He is not
preacher 10 cry aloud but an artist
who paints, yet not without a heart
that throbs In pity and fancy that
muses. over the wonder OF il and will
not suffer the PAIL OF darkness TO hang
over Il forever. That we have in Haw-
thorne an author whose work in these
high fields OF thought IS crowned with
unimpeachable honor and is sure OF
perpetual remembrance IS constant
satisfaction as years 20 by.
But Hawthorne has n wider claim
upon our gratitude-na namely. the fact
that he has set the seal OF glorious
achievement In letters upon the moral
laws OF our nature. The greatest
things done in literature have been Of
this sort They alone, from Job down,
are remembered and cherished in the
ages. Hawthorne is our only exponent
Of genius in this field. and how superb
~ has he filled it! His message is that
OF Dante and st. Paul and all great
moralists-whatever n man does TO an
other he does TO himself, whether it be
good or evil. Men will forever dwell
in this truth and Will never forget
those gifted souls who see il clearly
and set il forth In perfect forms OF lit
erary art.-Century.

Disadvantage.
Mill Men Appeal to Railroads in
Vain-Will Close In
definitely.

Crippled by railroad discrimination,
forced out of competitive markets by
unequal freight rates, the flour mills
of Minneapolis will close down the.
latter part of this week, for an in
definite period. Many mills at north
western country points will close also.
Flour is being hauled from Kansas
dred. From Minneapolis the rate is
10 cents. Two cents hundred will
take wheat in from the Missouri river
to Chicago. Eastern rates are dis
criminatory. It is yet a long look
ahead to the opening Of navigation.
The schedules are against Minneapo-
lis and in favor of competing points.
Three weeks ago the millers took
the matter up with the roads and
have taken it up again since. Moth
ing has been gained. To-day there is
nothing for it but to close again.
The head of one of the large mill
ing companies said this morning:
Wheat is being carried from Omaha and
points west of the Missouri river to Chi
cago for 2 cents a hundred. Flour Is
being hauled from Kansas City to Chicago
for cents a hundred, against our rate
| to Chicago Of 10 cents hundred.
The at-and- east-o f-Buffalo rate, cover.
| ing shipments of wheat from Buffalo tc
| New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore
| has been reduced to 9 Of cent bushel
| against rate Of 10 cents per hundred or
| flour from the same points, which woult
be equivalent to 6 cents a bushel or
| wheat.
The millers of the northwest have pro.
! tested against a continuance Of these
without corresponding reduction from
this territory, but their protests have beer
| ignored.

Helena, Mont, April 1.-THE fight
for control Of the state republican
convention, which met here to-day to
select six delegates to the national
convention, between the Amalgamated
and Heinze factions, led respectively
by former United States Senator Car
ter and Mayor Edwards Of Helena, is
a bitter one.
The Carter element is in an ugly
frame Of mind, because of the turn
down Of the former chairman Of the
republican national committee, who
was denied representation to the state
convention by his own county yester-
day, the vote being seventy-three to
flfty-eight against a motion to substi-
tute his name for that of a member Of
the opposition.
Fighting Carriers aspirations were
| former Senators Powers and Sanders,
| the latter Of whom made several
speeches attacking the alleged ring"
| methods of the Amalgamated leaders.
The outlook is that before night
/ fall, however,, the tables will have
been turned and the so-called
| Heinze faction put to rout,' as outside
| Of Helena, Carter has apparently a
large majority of the delegates. 1t is
| believed he will head the delegation to
the Chicago convention.
| The state convention was called to
order at noon by State Chairman
Lindsay and after effecting a Temporal
ry organization by the election of Rep
resentative Cannon Of Kalispell as
] chairman, a recess was taken until

threatened with tuberculosis, and sails
from New York to-day for Genoa.
He will consult specialists in Milan
and Berlin and will spend the next
three months seeking relief from the
most famous pulmonary experts in
the world.
The senator has been suffering
greatly for the past six months from
what the doctors here called acute
bronchitis. His disease became sc
painful just after congress convened
that he went to New York to try the
liquid air experiments.
It ig said Senator Clark has al
ways had a dread of pulmonary

is felt, there Is great anxiety among
his friends to learn the result Of hi

The arrangement is that Odell is to

about 1t. He had decided to retire
