Kelly of this city, who was yesterday in Boston holding meeting with the members of the advisory board of the lodge for the New England states
 In consequence of the meeting being held early in the day there were many members present who have been unable to attend other meetings by reason of the fact that the sessions did not close in time for them to report heir re- soective posts in time to take up their evening labors. The meeting yesterday was held in the morning and concluded about 2 o'clock, so that all present had ample time to get home. Following the work in the lodge room fine dinner was served and speeches made by a number of those present.

oRscTTRITY IN LITERATURE.

spThe first duty of sentence is to contain tangible thought. If the thoughts of a writer are phantoms wandering without substance, his words are sure to be turgid and empty. In modern verse particularly we are of ten confronted with phrases that by some trick of association or reminis- cence delude us for the moment into uncritical admiration. When we exam inc them more closely, we perceive that no thought whatever is present. We admit. of course, that in poetry there is such thing as the haunting word, the word endued with magical propri- ety which no rational process or thought can explain. When Keats im- agines a dreamland-
 Of perilous seas, in faery lands for
 lorn-
 we are aware that epithets like for lorn' are quite inexnlicably beautiful, and beautiful in quite another sense than the marvelously picked but req soned epithets of Gray, or Tennyson at his hest. But words like these, though we cannot explain their charm, are none the less felt to convey a real sen- timent They defy analysis just be- cause they are charged with emotion. The supreme in modern art is attained when behind the gossamer of suggestion we recognize the mind of a real thinker. Such recognition gives us confidence to follow the writer down ob- scure by-paths of inward experience. Writers like Walter Pater and MT. Meredith warrant this sort of confi- dence, and where we cannot easily fol- low them we blame ourselves. Less convincing is the obscurity which per- vades play of Maeterlinck. We have less ground for believing that we are in | touch with a mind supremely logical as well as a temperament supremely sen- sitive. With all the solemnity of forests and moonlight, our risible nerve is dan- gerously alert, and sometimes it hap pens that nothing but g. sense of duty | will avert scandalous outbreak of Philistine laughter. We enjoy the mixed emotions of person who, stand ing before very 'impressionist' picture detects in himself, along with a certain admiration, the disturbing question whether behind those mysterious effects there is any real draftsmanship.
 Great genius has nearly always pro- found ideas with very simple speech Even in that most difficult art, the anal ysis of human character, the highest achievements stand out in a frame oi pellucid utterance. Nobody, therefore has call to be ashamed if he confesses that in the main MT. Meredith and Henry James are beyond him. Ir Shakespeare, Balzac and George Eliot he will find consolation when all his modernly artistic friends have done their worst in the way of reproach."-- Spectator Gondon.)

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Raleigh News and Observer
(Dem.) says; Judge Parker voted for
Bryan and Seawell in 1896 and Bryan
and Stevenson in 1900. is an authorita-
tive statement. That settles his De-
mocracy."
The Wilmington IN. c. Star (Dem.)
says: IF Col. Bryan had kept quiet
after the New York Democratic State
Convention platitudinized and indors-
ed Judge Parker. the Nebraskan could
have called for a hand out of some of
Carnegie's hero fund
The Houston Post (Dem.) says:
There are issues enough in the cam
paign upon which Democrats agree
generally and specifically to win the
election. and in view of the menace to
good government, presented by the
continuation of the present Republi-
can administration, Democratic tri-
umph this year is matter of para
mount Importance"
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
CDem.) says: Perhaps it has escaped
general attention that Senator Bacons
opposition to the Frederick the Great
statue In Washington has been corked
up by granting his request that $780,
600 statue of Thomas Jefferson be
erected as an antidote in the same
city. And there these two statues win
stand forever, not doting on each other
SO much as antidoting."

AN ADDITIONAL 81 900. 900 WANTED.

Is the claim for an additional $1,000
600 made by the Panama Canal Com
pany going to make complications in
connection with the transfer of the ca
nal property to the United States? The
Panama Canal Company thinks it
ought 10 have an additional 81, 1000 900.
because ii has expended that much on
the property since the sale of it was
made.
There is a grain OF justice in this
claim, provided 1t wasn't understood
that the price was to be $40, 900 900 at
the time the property was delivered.
1t may be difficult to establish just
what the understanding was on that
point. 1t seems a little strange that
neither party made any mention of
the matter as to which of them, in the
event of a sale, was to pay the cost of
carrying on the work between the
time of the making of the sale of the
property and the passing of the deed to
1t. Perhaps the Panama Canal Com
pany didn't want to mention the mat
ter for fear 1t would interfere with the
sale, and the United States said moth
ing for the reason they didn't think it
was matter in which they were par
ticularly concerned.
But it begins to look as If the Pan
anna Company considers they were
concerned. since Ii wants a large sum
in addition to the contract price. II
-, eel IL
1t rests with Congress to say whether
or not 1t shall be. That body holds
the purse strings of the nation. If the
claim should be submitted to it the
chances are that there would be long
debate over it. The position would
likely to be taken that the Panama Ca
nal Company should have presented its
claim when the sale was pending.
1t is well understood of course that
the Panama Canal Company would
have forfeited its concessions If 1t had
stopped work on the canal while ne
gotiations for the sale of the property
were going on. or during the time be-
tween the sale and the passing of the
title, but didn't the company take the
chances that there would be a long de-
lay between the closing of the bargain
and the transfer of the property? II
undoubtedly did, unless it can show
there was an understanding that the
United tates should bear the expense
of carrying on the work during that
period
1t is said that two United States at
torneys who went to Paris to attend
to the transfer of the title are looking
into this claim of the canal company.
1t is not clear what they can do about
it, 1t isn't for them to say whether or
not it shall be paid.

AN ACCEPTABLE CANDIDATE.

In the course of the great speech
which he delivered in the House on
Saturday. Bourke Cochran named John
Sharp Williams. the leader of the mi
nority of that branch of Congress. for
Vice President. The mention of Mr..
Williams for the second place on the
Democratic ticket was received with
great applause.
The nomination OF Mr.. Williams FOR
Vice President would, there are reasons
for thinking, be a very popular one.
He has proved himself to be a man Of
exceptionally good ability. He has lei
the minority of the House in way
that has been acceptable 10 the Dem
ocratic members. and in no way objec-
tionable to the majority. He has not
missed making a point for his party
when it was possible to make one,
but he has not made the mistake of
continually raising points that could
not he sustained.
Mr.. Williams is in the prime of life.
being just about 50 years of age. In
his Mississippi home he is a lawyer and
cotton planter. and it is evident from
his speeches that he is man of wiue
reading and much culture. He was
elected to the Flfty-third Congress and
has been serving continuously ever
since.
Mr.. Williams nomination for Vice
President would be popular in the
North as well as in the South. The
Northern people would like d chance
to vote for Southern man for various
reasons; among others to show they
have no sectional feeling. and also to
express the opinion that the South has
held back from seeking the highest Of
fees about long enough.
OF course Mr.. Williams nomination
would be popular in the South, because
he is a typical Southerner, and in
every respect worthy of the highest
offices in the gift Of the people.
Ii Mr.. Williams shouldn't be the
nominee for Vice President he will be
d candidate for Speaker in the event
the Democrats get control of the House.
He is one of the rising men of the
country and if his party should come
into power he would he one of it's most
trusted advisers

An Easter Hat.

mission to the Chicago Board of Trade,
lunched at the Chicago Club, says an
exchange. He wore a new derby hat,
for he had been pretty severely mauled
by the brokers and his old hat had
been altogether ruined
You are not wearing the same hat
you had on this morning, SIR" a re-
porter said to Mr.. Sully with a smile.
mo" the broker admitted, and he
went on:
Now, I'll tell you an appropriate
and timely story-a story about a hat
and about Easter.

after church on Easter Sunday morn
ing and while they conversed they ex-
amined each others apparel with their
bright eyes.
Z" How becoming your Easter hat is,

other.

BRYAN,s CHICAGO BLAST.

The speech which Mr.. Bryan deliver
ed in Chicago on Saturday night was
just about what it was expected IL
would be. He said the platform adopt
ed by the Democrats of New York was
dishonest and that Judge Parker was
not a fit man to be nominated for
President He would say that about
any platform that did not contain his
views as set forth in the Kansas city
platform, and against any candidate
that was not in complete harmony with
him in his campaign for President.
Judge Parker voted the Democratic
ticket in 1896 and 1900. but, it is I'M
derstood, there We're some things in
the platforms in those campaigns which
he didn't approve.
Mr.. Bryan is at war with every
Democrat whose political views are
not in complete harmony with his.
What he said about the platform Of
the New York Democrats and about
Judge Parker he is prepared TO say
about any other platform or candidate
that doesn't bear the Bryan brand.
What he said in his Chicago speech,
therefore will not have as much weight
as it would If he were a sincere and an
unbiased critic.
II is well understood that Mr.. Bryan
isn't caring anything about the sue
cess of the Democratic ticket in the
presidential campaign. If the truth
were known it would perhaps appear
that he would rather the Democratic
party should be defeated this year than
be successful. If it should be success
full. with a platform that ignored the
Kansas City platform il would be said
that the party might have elected its
ticket in 1900 if it had not followed the
advice Of Mr.. Bryan and incorporated
in its platform the Objectionable is
sues of the Chicago platform. Mr..
Bryan doesn't want TO be placed in
the position of having made a blunder
in 1900, and hence he is doing his ut
most 10 prevent the adoption of
platform that doesn't reaffirm the
Kansas City platform, and the nomi-
nation of a candidate for President
that wasn't in sympathy with that plat
form.
And there is another reason why he
is taking such a radical stand against
a conservative platform and ticket. and
that is, that if a platform and ticket
of that kind were successful he would
be forever out of politics, as far as
the Democratic party is concerned. He
would have no following whatever.
Even the newspaper on which he is
placing so much dependence would
cease to be a profitable property.
II is not to be wondered at. there
fore. that he is making such a hard
fight to retain his grip on the party
He is fighting for himself for his po-
litical existence. That being the case,
there is no reason why Democrats any
where should be Influenced by what
he says. And the indications are null
tiplying that they are not paying much
attention to him. Even in his own
state, there is strong sentiment
among Democrats against him, and it
is said that il is no longer possible
for him TO have his way there. 1t is
doubtful If he viii be able TO have the
Democratic convention of Nebraska re-
affirm the Kansas City platform.
