The optimist and the Trolley.

optimist Of the first water. In preach
Ing his gospel Of cheerfulness one day,
he said to friend of pessimistic tend

What is that coming up Broad,

Precisely. To your eyes 1t is q
commonplace, yellow vehicle, with an
ordinary motorman in front and an
everyday conductor in the rear, but to
the man Of Godgiven sanguinity it is
a chariot of gold with diamond studded
wheels, seraph at the wheel and

~Av Resume Of the Weeks
Proceedings.

washington, Jan 6.-Ilactically the
entlre session of the senate yesterday
was devoted to speech by Mr.. Lodge
oh the situation on the isthmus OF
Panama. He discussed the abstract
question OF the right to recognize the
independence Of new nation and con-
cluded that such a prerogatiye per-
Jams exclusively to the Office of the
chlef executive. He also contended
that there had been a general expecta-
tlon OF an uprising in Panama in case
OF the failure of the Hay-Herran
treaty, and declared that the presi-
dent could not have done less than in
form himself Of the prospect. Mr.
Lodge argued that our intervention in
Panama had been only in the interest
or peace and contended that the presi-
dent had not some step beyond what
the proprieties called for.
The privileged resolution proposed
by Mr.. Hay (Va.) providing for an in
vestiSation Of certain statements in
the Brlstow postof1ice report rejecting
on the membership of the house yes
teTday was referred to the committee
on postofllces and post roads on mo-
ton OF Mr.. Payne, the majority leader.
washington, Jan. 7.-Alleged frreg-
ularlties in the postof11ce department
constituted the only theme in the SEN
ate yesterday. The question came up
on motion first made by Mr.. Lodge
and afterward by Mr.. Penrose to refer
the Carmack resolution looking to a
senatorial investigation of the post
office department to the committee on
postoflices and post roads. The Dem
ocratic senators resisted the motion
and contended that the country would
not be satisfied with an investigation
OF a department made by the depart
ment itself. The debate continued for
almost two and a half hours and was
extremely spirited from start to finish.
/ Further consideration of the subject
was deferred until Friday.
The only measure considered in the
house yesterday was a bill introduced
by the delegate from Hawaii to ratify
an act of the Hawaiian legislature au-
thorizing the manufacture and distri-
button Of electric light and power on
the island of Oahu, Territory Of Ha-
wall. Owing to objections made to
the bill in the form presented. it was
recommitted to the committee on ter
ritories.

Washington, jan 8. - Mr.. Morgan
occupied the time of the senate yes
terday in reply to the speech of Mr..
Lodge, delivered last Tuesday. Mr..
Morgan again criticised the president
and the attitude Of this government in
connection with the Panama republic.
He introduced numerous newspaper
extracts to bear out his contention
that the revolution was assisted by Of
tlcers and citizens of the United
States. Mr. Morgan said that if the
United States should withdraw from
the isthmus Colombia would quickly
drive out the few revolutionists and
their supporters,
The house was in session but twelve
minutes. Mr.. Hemenway, chairman
Of the committee or appropriations,
obtained unanimous consent that one

receiv. ar more probably did not preserve many
of her friends epistles.
II remains only TO add that Mr. Wrights
links of narrative and his annotations ere in
most cases full enough. that he furnishes useful
maps of Olney and its environs, and that his
index while elaborate is not tmpeccable. Speci-
mems of the letters themselves are scarcely
needed, especially by dipping almost any
where into the four volumes the reader who is
likely To care for Cowper at all will soon find
himself interested. Even when he is discussing
points of theology Cowper writes we'll; when
he is criticising books he is generally very sug
gestive; when he is playful he Is Irresistible:
when he is giving simple account OF his small
doings he is the ideal correspondent. II the
busy reader insists on having special letters
picked out for his admiration. he may be
ferred to the famous letters cited by Mr. Wright
IN his preface: The "thresh his old jacket
letter Of October 81, 1879, to Unwin apropos OF
Dr. Johnson's account OF Milton in the Lives
of the Poets; the runaway hare letter Of
August q. 1870: the rhyming Hop o. My
Thumb" letter of July r. 1871, and the kissing
candidate" letter of March 20, 17S4-all to
Newton. and each in its way admirable. II will
be observed that these all belong to the Olney
period, and perhaps the letters written from
that retreat, dear to both religion and poetry,
are on the whole the most felicitous of Cow
per's correspondence-such letters, for example,
that Of about May "a 1884 to William I'm
win, describing the failure 20 make balloon
ascend and the beginning Of the intimacy with
the Throckmortons. But the later letters. with
their constant references to Milton and Homer,
will have almost equal attraction for some
readers even when they addressed to Tee
DON who possessed the unpleasant faculty OF
bringing out Cowper's fanaticism The letters
TO Teedon are full of gloom. but the lover Of
Cowper would not miss single one of his spir-
itual outpourings. Even at his gloorniest he
could not repress the sallies of his fancy, as
when he wrote 10 Hayley: ''I have risen this
morning like Internal frog out Of Acheron.
