Poets and Democracy.

Lieutenant Governor Guild is report ed to have said in a recent address be- fore the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that poets and song writ CTS have always been on the side of aristocracy and against popular gov ernment. This may have been true in the days when the Roman poets sought the favor and patronage of those in power, and it may have been true when in camps and courts, but it can hardly be said to be the case in later days.
 Burns was notably on the side of democracy. So. too. was Byron, giv- ing his life, as he did, to aid the Greeks in their attempts to secure in dependence. Tom Moore dearly loved a lord" He became the darling of the English aristocracy and was fond of bubbles and baubles. He saw little in American simplicity to admire but it was because of his fondness for gilt ter and show that he favored nobility and not because of any lack of sympa- thy with the oppressed.
 GOetne was an lnlelleclual arlStOcrdt He had a Greeklike antipathy to any thing that savored of violence or dis order During the stormy times when his country was suffering from the ha- voc which Napoleon was making Goethe, true to himself, attended to his own business and used neither pen nor sword for the defense of his country. This does not imply lack Of sympathy or of patriotism, but simply that his work was for the world instead of for Germany alone. Schiller was intensely patriotic and nearly all of his poems breathe the spirit of freedom. In the violent in its expression. Later It be- came more calm, but the author of

 '"rhe simplest causes sometimes pro- duce tn most astonishing effects.
 Some years ago I spent the month of August at a friends villa at Long Branch.
 My host. with six or seven of us, was walking through the garden one day after luncheon, when he came to a great glass globe. set half in the shade and half in the sun.
 Here is a strange thing some one said. The half of the globe that is in the shade is warmer than the half that IS in the sun.
 !" Impossible!" we chorused.
 But we touched the globe and found that the glass actually was warmer in the shade than in the sun.
 'Then everybody tried to explain this able theories for it were advanced.
 "One said it was an effect of re- flection; another that it was an effect of repulsion; another that the eXhal- atory law-and so forth, and so on.
 But I had spied the gardener cut ting roses and l called him over to us.

still the Old Barbarian.

Some amusement has been excited by the news from Paris that compa- ny has been formed to erect d large building. with all the adjuncts of re- served, seats galleries and private box es wherein dHeIs nay be fought in public. the spectators paying for the privilege of witnessing the hostilittes. This is taken to demonstrate the spec tacular character of the French duel. To a certain extent it does do so. but the sentiment which really animates the projectors of this public dueling arena Is one which is by no means pe- culiarly French. These individuals are acting upon the knowledge that men will pay to see other men pat their lives in peril. It may be said that there is small peril to human life iavolved in the average French duel, eut it is true, notwithstanding, that those ce4El- bats do sometimes terminate fatally. There is always a chance that a duel ist may be killed or seriously wounded and it is expected that the PaFisians will pay an admission rec upea tkis chance.
 In other words, the French 6GeHng arena is only another form. ef tbe bal loon ascension and other public per formances in which the fundamental attraction is the possibility thRt th6 performer may be killed. FGse Paris dueling exhibition may be a weak and degenerate survival of the gIadbateCial
 fsol Lat the idea is still there. though the thing itself is but a faint reminder of the original.
 The veneer of civilization as has been truly said is very thin. Beneath it lies the old barbarian, and the old barbarian lOved-ana loves-spectacles where blood flows and men give up their lives for the entertainment of the pepulace. The modern prize fight would be even more popular than it is if the boxers wore the cestus instead of the padded gloves. Fencnig matches would draw huge crowds if the buttons were taken from the foils. The barbarian under the civ iIized veneer contents himself with rel atively mild exhibitions of brutality, because of modern convention, but he would jump at the chance to witness the real thing of Nero's days if it were available.
 The Parisian speculators who are building the dueling arena are shrewd students of human nature. They know what the human animal enjoys and they are preparing to give it to him. Their entertainment is likely to prove profitable if they can secure enough duelists to keep the house open, as the theatrical phrase has it. Frenchmen- and men of all other nations, for that matter-will pay literally for the priv ilege of witnessing two men trying to kill each other. even if the attempt be obviously lacking in ferocity. The old barbarian did not become extinct with the advent of peace congresses, Red Cross societies and antivivisection propagandandists.

William Telr' was never on the side of aristoeracy as against the rights of the common people.
 It is to be expected that in this coun- try poets and song writers will be al- lied with democracy. James Russell Lowell has the reputation of having had aristecratfe tastes, but his pen was generously given to the oppressed dur ing the civil war, and his poems have not the slightest taint of servility. Whittier was pre- -eminentIy on the side of the common people and Walt Whit ocrats. Richard Hevey with all his fondness for aestheticism, was heart and soul allied to the interests Of the people.
 In Russia the democratic spirit has dominated literature since Pushkin gave the impetus in the early part Of the last century. Beloved by the com mon people, Pushkin was altogether too liberal for the authorities, who tried to bury him in obscurity, but his memory is venerated in all parts of the empire. What the novelists of Rus sia have done in the last fifty years is widely known. but the names of the poets and song writers are not so fla miliar. Yet, as Prince Wolkonsky says at the time when Tourgeneff, Dostey evsly and Tolstoi rose as embodiers of Russia's intellectual activity, as rep resentatives of the countFy's inner life, a chorus of poets raised their voices to give expression to the same themes.

Average New York Seashore Resort Receives Nearly $2,OOO Day

If you doubt that the nickel and quar- ter business doesn't pay, consider tho money-making propensities of the aver age seashore hathhouse around New York, and make over your opinion. A representative bathing pavilion has 15OO bath compartments. It costs 20 cents to rent one. On a medium hot summers day some $500 are derived from renting these rooms. for the com partments are used in the course of tho day by about 1000 persons. Bathing suits rent for 25 cents each. There would be 5000 of them for such pavil- lon, which means $1. 900 . day if half of them are rented once; and it is fair to assume that three-fourths of the 4.oO0 bathers pay i've cents for the use of a comb and brush-s150.

Mobile Merchant Experiences Dim culties in Getting Goods to Cap
 ital of Guatemala.

A Mobile merchant sold some cotton goods not long ago to be delivered at Guatemala City. Within 300 feet of his warehouse a steamer was loading for Puerto Barrios, whence runs a railway to within 60 miles of the Guatamalan capital. To reach the latter the goods would have to be packed over the moun- tains by Indians or on muleback. Tho merchant found it cheaper to ship by way of San Francisco, thence by boat to San Jose, Guatamala, and to the cap- ttal by rail. New Orleans, terminus of the Southern Pacific is almost next door to Mobile. New York, however, en- loved cheaper rate because there was competition with the routes across the Atlantic and thence round Cape Horn So the goods were sent by boat to New York, thence by boat back to New Or leans. and thence on their way, going nearly 10000 miles instead of HOO by the Puerto Barrios route. This inabil- ity to get at the west coast markets has done much to keep American goods out of them. Guatamala has now arranged for the speedy completion of the rail- way from the Caribbean to the capital. and . cheap direct route will thus be opened.
