LITERARY EXHIBIT.
Publications of Harvard University
 Displayed at Worlds Fair.

St Louis. June 3.-What Harvard university has done toward gathering and preserving the history of the American people, and what it's facul- ties and graduates have accomplished in elevating the literary standard of this country, are shown by a large ex- hibit in the Palace of Education at the worlds fair.
 All publications issued by the uni versity are assigned to one section, all the writings Of histories and statesmen who are graduates of Harvard. but who are not now living, are to be seen in another, and i'll q third section are all the writings of the present faculty of arts and sciences.
 Not only are the reports which em- anate from the central office included in the exhibit of publications, but the technical memoirs and reports from the various departments are all to be found. making complete collection of all writings which bear the Harvarl name and for which the university is responsible.
 Annual reports of the presidents from 1895 summarize the work of the university during the last eighty years and outline the policy of the institu- ton during all that time. Benjamin Peirce's History of Harvard College" the Harvard book and various cata- logues tell of the work. while the do ings and achievements of it's students are told in eleven volumes of the Har- yard Graduates Magazine.
 Harvard men have been prominent in every field of research, but their place in history and statesmanship is more generally outlined in the list of hi at Ina fni, Among the historians are fonnd Ma ther, Hutchinson. Sparks, Bancroft. Hildreth. Prescott, Motley, Winsor, Parkman and Fiske. Both of the Ad- amses. Sumner. Everett and Phillips are among the statesmen represented.
 Embraced in the writings of the present faculty of the university is about every subject that can be inn agined in connection with educational work Many of these are the products of men of learning who had no aspira tons for authorship. some of the best authorities among them never having published q book.
 Yet the faculty is well represented in the field of published books, for some Of the most precious treasures in the Harvard library are the writings of Channig and Emerson. Tn music and art Paine, Norton and Moore have made contributions in education there are writings by Eliot, Briggs and Ha- nus, and i'll economies, McVane. Taus- sig and Ripley are represented.
 Such display of literature covering all the field of human thought, win give to Worlds fair visitors an idea of the vast work that has been accom-, plished by this great institution of learning.

Mir Folks platform is as simple as his speeches. Thou shalt not steal--- even If thou art democrat. thou shalt not steal" He reiterates it every where as he stands on the platform, short, thick-set and wearing op hls face that look of quiet, almost placid deter imitation which Is photographed on the soul of every boodler in Missouri. The farmers trust him. Folk himself said once that he believed every democrat in Missouri with beard more than two inches long was with him. It is true.

ABOLITION OF SENATE.
A Party With That as the Only Plank
 in its Platform.

The senate Is attacked with unre-
 hitting ferocity throughout the coun- try and only occasionally defended. A learned historian of our land alleges that some day he intends to run for President on platform containing a single plank-that plank demanding the abolition of the senate. He would have to take radical ground about what the constitution is between friends. since the clause guaranteeing to the States equal representation is not subject to amendment, and the provision for equal state representa- tion would hardly be satisfied by no representation at all. A correspon~ dent from Massachusetts writes us in- dignantly that on our seeming propo- sition that "ared should be represent ed politically she can only rub her eyes in sheer bewilderment. Ihe composition of the senate" she ob- serves. twas no more and no less device to protect the small states, than that of the house was a device to pro tect the large ones. The men who made the Constitution represented two conflicting ideas. that of nation dpd that of federation; the Connecticut Compromise provided q means by which both could be satisfied. The senate Is much more than an upper house or second chamber, such as fhe countries of western Europe have in- vented for themselves; it answers more to the Bundesrath of the German empire; 1t is at once the outward and visible sign and safeguard of the Fed eral nature of this Government" our editorial approval of shelving the bill punching Arizona and New Mexico as one state, and Indian territory and Oklahoma as another, was supported by the argument that territory, and hence opportunity. was of some i'm
 portance in representation; that the house represents population solely, ana that tile senate. therefore, ought not, in admitting new states, to omit all l consideration of their size. Our cor respondent who has such state pat riotisna, remarks ironically that per- haps no wonder should be caused by the fact that q creature who was born in Illinois, educated i'll Massachusetts,
 and residing i'll New York should have no instinctive repugnance to such ideas as you here set forth, but 1 do think It important that those who have the responsibility of educating the public should keep in mind the | foundations of our constitutional bis tory. Therei This is to give notice | that when your plan is put in practice,
 Massachusetts and I shall secede." We think the Federal nature of the Government is now mainly historical, | having practical utility principally as device for local government. Of course, any essential hange Is not in question, for it Is impossible. But ill admitting new states we may never theless consider present-day utility as we'll as the conditions of a hundred l years ago.--Collier's.

IN THE LIMBLIGHT AND OUT OF

IT.
 They have had an awful shock in quiet and orderly Philadelphia. Reg gie' Vanderbilt has got mad at the awards at the horse show, and, in- stead of driving his ''third-best'' span around the ring, he turned and quit the grounds he wanted them pro- nounced first best, and he didn't get what lie wanted. Philadelphia Is watching lynx-eyed to see what he will do next. All the people feel sure of is that he will not go back to New York. They think they. know why, too.
 Young Vanderbilt is enjoying the pleasures of wealth in ways that bring much consolation to those who have no wealth to enjoy. If there is any thing to content one with the poverty Of being poor, it is sight of the pow erty of being rich and being deprived of so much that ordinary folk consider q matter of course in their daily lives There Is no privacy for the very rich Of course so far as they themselves go, it may be that they do not want any privacy but we venture to say that for most people, next after health privacy is among the very most de- cirable privileges of life. We nave been told lately how even well-mean- ing woman, such as Helen Gould is, has to be accompanied by other wo. men dressed as she is to avoid personal solicitations and snap-shooters and others seeking noteworthy persons. She can only get away from herself by pretending to be somebody else. How she must sometimes long for the sim pie but impossible privilege of being nobody in particular. Her fathers doubtful achievements in finance pre- vent She and her moneybags are in- separable.
 The society news in the great metro politan Journals is the life of certain set and as they figure in that they fulfill what they conceive to be their destiny. They like it. too, and take themselves seriously, which Is, per- haps, the most pathetic and amusing detail of the situation. But to the ay- craze 1ooker-on it makes mighty little difference which prize Reggie Van derbilt takes, or whether he is satis- fled; who tools the coach from the Holland house, Or how much is lost gambling in the smoking room of the ocean steamer. It is more to the point that there are good wagon horses at work and not on exhibition, that a trolley ride can be had for five cents, and, therefore q fooled coach isn't needed, and that honest industry can go on, no matter how much gam bling prevails on tne water.
 The social life of to-day is not to be judged by the reflection of 1t in the newspaper columns. The people that do things are too busy to stop and be photographed every time they strike an attitude or entertain thought Hartford Courant.

proiitiifg at their expense through the policy of protection. He might ni,Nc added that the tendency of such sca> tionalism always has been the tempta- ton of New England, and shovel itself When the south was still free from ,nut dry-rot. 1he Richmond Whig of 1S14 warned the Hartford convention and its many supporters that they had bet ter not go much farther i'll their asSer- tion of local rights, for. if they attacked the national authority, the whole coun- try would unite to maintain it against them. The truth Is that New England only felt itself thoroughly national and patriotic under the stress of some pop ular excitement. It did so in 1T75 and In 1861, but not always in the years be- quence on the national side. Those states were like certain type of school boy, who will work first rate at track athletics or anything that allows the separate boy to cut figure. But he Is of no use as member of a team, because he cannot be got to subordinate himself to the interests Of the whole and etface himself. For rowing, hook ey, la crosse. base ball, football, cricket or basketball he Is worth very little. So New England seemed always con scious of duality between herself and the rest of the country, and oyervalued her share in our national achievement in q way which would be Imaginable if 1t were not mischieyous. The worst recent expression of this is in the his tories which regard American history as having taken place within twenty four miles of Boston.

UTICA, N. Y, June -Consternation prevails among the hundreds of owners of camps who have been using state lands in the Adirondacks for years without interference from the state authorities. A law passed by the last legislature prohibits the erection of a permanent structure or camp on prop erty belonging to the state and empow- CTS all game wardens to destroy all camps or lodges found on state lands. Acting on orders of the state forest, fish and game commission, Game Warden vosburg has destroyed the camp owned by Mrs. James T. Howes of Utica on lower Saranac lake.

Lowden Gaining at sprinnaeld.

SPRINGFIELD, H.. June 3.-When the Republican state convention was called to order Delegate Reeves pre- scented a report from the committee on resolutions recommending the release of delegates from their instructions, and Colonel Lowden then addressed the convention releasing his delegates. Governor Yates also made speech re- leasing his delegates. Charles s. De- neen and all the other candidates in turn made speeches releasing their del egates. The last ballot taken, the sev- enty-eighth, resulted as follows: Yates, 405; Lowden, 53212; Deneen, 3651a; Hanlin, 1o2; Warner, 2S; Sherman, z5: Pierce. 24

Speaking of the men who run the national nominating conventions and the delegates who are only dummies, q writer in Leslie's Monthly says that the members who really run things" grow constantly fewer in numbers! The average delegate, nominally the direct representative of the voters of his party, is nowadays scarcely more of factor in the choice of candidates than the slowest-witted voter in his home ward. But for each dozen del egates ill every national convention there is one practical politician, who wants a little something more than the honor. It is this one man in twelve, or whereabouts. who does the nominating. The ordinary delegate is merely a red or black pawn in the game. After the local convention he is carted to the national convention and voted as he has been tagged When the delegate reaches the conven- ton city he is called to meeting of the delegates from his state. A chair man of the delegation and members of the convention committees are elected. Here is where the one-in-twelve ele- ment comes out strong. The ordinary dummy delegates get tickets and badges. That's all. National con ventions, under the apportionments of late years, have had a nominal voting strength. in round numbers, of from twelve hundred to two thousand dele gates. These figures are entirely de- captive. There is never time in the proceedings of any convention when a vote cannot be had either way on any proposition by the one hundred and fifty or two hundred men who are running things. These are the leaders, who go as delegates at large, the prac- tical politicians--the one-in4welve file closers in the ranks. And the dele. gates whom they herd like sheep are the representatives of the voting mil lions.

Harrison Dulles of Phil adelphia will be able to recover valu- able pearl necklace that she bought in Paris about two years ago and that was seized by a treasury agent upon her arrival on the steamer Kronprinz Wilhelm.

Mrs. Dulles was accused of hiding the necklace in her stocking.

The second attempt to graft the Eng fish Henley on the American rowing stock was made at Philadelphia on Decoration day, and was discouraging to it's promoters, says writer in a Sporting Journal Only thirty entries were made, and twenty-six of these were local talent The only college crews were from the University of PennslyvanlR. Tn other words. it was a local regatta of very ordinary class. Yale, Harvard, Cornell, Columbia and the strong rowing clubs of the east could not be persuaded to show any in terest in the scheme, and 1t is in lan- gushing condition. with small hopes of rally. The handicaps have been nu merous. but the main trouble is that rowing in the United States is not equipped to support Henley, and the o2rsmen and the public don't seem to want it. It was q praiseworthy en- deavor, and too much praise and credit cannot be given the gentlemen who fostered tne idea. Yet without support LuG hSiliSy luSu AuuSJ pS NCly AOhOoVAiO and attenuated. The college crews seem to prefer to row among them selves in second crew races, and at Poughkeepsie and New London the graduate oarsmen will not keep up a lively interest in rowing after they get out into the hustling world, and the rowing clubs have all the regattas they care to train for. At present there seems no place for an American Hen lev. unless the Poughkeepsie regatta, developing along natural lines. expends into a two or three days program Ana this is not an unlikely growth, at pres ent indications.

THE BLESSING IN DISGUISE.

You thought He had denied you when you made that feyered pray'r You sank in doubt and walled aloud, in sudden. mad despair, And the dark of disappointment closed upon you evrywhere. o man, with knitted eyebrows and | forehead dull with care. You prayed for gold, you clutched it, and you sought it ev'rywhere, And made q pretty net of it, more gold fish to ensnare.
 your baby sweet! You prayed to keep the batter of the darling little feet. That were treading to the trysting where the dead and living meet. Q maiden, shy and holy, flushing crimson at name. And fearful lest Loves thought cen bring reason for Gods blame; In your loving. hardly mortal, and all angel i'll your shame. o poetl on the anvil of your paper hamm'ring rhyme, And forging songs of passion in fret to fit the time. With q pray'r for compensation in each iterant. soft chime. And the gold went slipping, slipping, net and all into the sea; And q lifeless little figure lay upon a mothers knee; And n grieving little maiden knew that love was not to be. And poet, faintly forging little play things out of verse, Knew no fame or wealth would ever his contrivings reimburse, And his weary, nerveless fingers dropped the pencil with curse. Were the pray'rs then quite unan- swered? Was God deaf then to It all?
 To the weeping and the wailing of His children Of the Ball? Did He turn so stony hearted when He heard His children call? An, no, never! for striver in the marts of men came out To the fields. where Gods soft sum- mer hedges tired hearts about, And grew rich in peace of spirit cry ing, God, how could I doubtv And a mother who had never quite divined that Heav'n was true, Thought so often Of her baby in those fields of shining blue That a something of that Heaven filed her face with sweetness new. And maiden, seeking comfort on a loving Saviour's breast. Tn the mighty God Heart nestled as bird within its nest, Finding there soul satisfaction, per feet peace and perfect rest. And q poet went q daily, simple round of lowly deeds, Finding joy i'll others blessings, min ist'ring to others needs, From the path of other singers pulling up obstructing weeds. And the epitaph they wrote him. when his cycle made its round, Was, ''In Heay'n good deeds are verses, making melodies of sound, He is laureate of angels, and Gods prince of poets crowned" Not unanswered was their pleading, only God, Who is more tall, Could see farther than His children of the little, swinging Ball, And He knew twas Peace they craved for with that loud, insistent call. Knew the seeming good could never bring q sure and lasting peace, Knew the longing of their spirits could in these find no surcease.N As the drinker of salt water feels the bangs of thirst increase. So He gave them what they asked for, being patient with their sighs. As mother with the wailing of her little one who cries. Knowing they would turn and bless Him when the years had made them wise.
