IN THE AQUARIUM.

Where the ships of the nations gather,
With their gorgeous flags unfurled.
Stands Liberty high IN the harbor.
And lifts her torch TO the world.
From the generous hand Outspreading
The light sweeps far and wide,
With its message OF cheer TO the hearts
of men.
But to none of Earths creatures be-
side
1t CLEANS on the sea and the shipping,
On the walls that pierce the sky
And it falls on the circling prison
Where the Least of the Brethren lie.
Captured and held in bondage
For the gaze of the idle crowd,
Are they whose homes were the waters
Under the sea and cloud
Gagged in a glass-bound fathom.
Where no sheIteTing nook may hide,
Are the free little folk of the ocean.
The shy little folk of the tide!
And here are the lifelong captives.
The monarchs from Southern lands,
That roamed at win In the rivers
And lay at ease in the sands.
The years Of their bondage are written
over the meager tanks.
Where the bleared eyes gaze through the
lengths of the days,
Seeking the river banks.
Remembering the green OF the rushes,
The breath of the wind III the grass;
They are dazed by the curious rabble,
And the hours that will not pass.
And the voice OF the Elder Brother
Cries out from Heaven and Sea

Ye have done 1t unto Me-

Envoy Witte Arrives.

Envoy Witte plunged into the siren
uous life Immediately on arriving in
New York yesterday afternoon.
He was interviewed by a young
army of reporters before he had time
to leave his ship. He was photo
graphed at every step. He was met
by a reception committee and present
ed with Slavonic bread and salt on a
silver salver and an American speech
Of welcome. He was surrounded by
crowds of free people. He was near
ly wrecked ii q hanson cab, Finally,
he was driven past the flag of Japan
and the smiling envoy of the power
with which his country is to treat.
He has thus had more than a taste,
a full mouthful. of the new civiliza-
tion to contrast with that he left be-
hind him in Petersburg
Conflicting statements, both appar-
emily authorized, bring M Witte to
New York in a double attitude. He
hopes for peace and despairs of it.
He has come with all the power the
Gar ever gives any minister extraor-
binary and the Gar is bound 'in hon
or" to accept any reasonable terms
which the commission may fix: yet in
private conversation he expresses a
firm, though reluctant, conviction that
it will be impossible to do more than
open the negotiations. In other words
If you put your finger on him he is
not there.
From the moment his appointment
was announced his policy seems to
have been to impress the Japanese by
despairing of peace. He has gone so
far that it is possible to read in re-
liable reports of mis- views a DISPOSE
tion TO meet his associate commission
ers, learn what terms they have to
propose. declare them utterly "impos-
sible," and withdraw. In that event
Russia would obtain what she asked
for Immediately after the battle of the
Sea of Japan-an outline of Japanese
demands without any statement of
Russian views in return.
This may prove not to be the case,
1t may easily be that NJ Witte and
Baron Rosen intend to make peace if
they can They have reason enough
to desire it. Bnt the likelihood, if we
are TO believe NJ. Witte,s own declara-
tions and attach any significance to
recent proclamations of the Car, is
that the Russian ENJOYS intend TO re-
iect without discussion terms which
Japan may surely be expected to pro-
pose and may justifiably expect to
obtain
Should that happen the next envoy
to speak for Japan will be General
Oyama And when General Linevitch
has been soundly whipped, it may be
Russia will be a little less surprised
at her victor's terms and little less
reluctant 10 consider them.
The statesmanlike thing would be
the direct thing. Russia's weakness is
as we'll known to Japan as Japan's
strength is well known TO Russia A
continuation Of hostilities by Russia
in the hope Of averting terms which
seem altogether fair in the light of
history passes the bounds Of folly and
becomes criminal. Sergius Witte has
proven himself brc@a= enough and
strong enough to perceive this and act
upon it. 1t is the sincere hope of
America that he will do so.

ClsVeldld's S First Cit Zel.

How do you think John D. Rookie
teller would run. if. as is said TO be
seriously considered. he should be-
come the Republican candidate for
mayor OF Cleveland?
It seems that Mr.. Rockefeller feels
that he is sadly misunderstood and
outrageously maligned man. He is
represented as unable to understand
how few vicious writer's and dem
agogic publicists have been able to
turn the whole country against him,
The Oil King regards himself as
merely a benevolent assimilationist.
the trustee for a considerable power
and property which he is alleged to
believe he is administering for the
general benefit of the public. He has
been looking about for vindication
for some time. and it is seriously sug-
gested that he might not decline to
make the run for mayor of his home
city.
No more interesting political exper-
iment could possibly be made than
this. The whole world would look
on with intensest interest while the
campaign was in progress 1t is easy
enough to understand what the oppo-
sition would say about him. But what
would be urged in his favor?
Presumably. it would be insisted
that he had done more for Cleveland
than anybody else; that he had made
it the center of one of the great in
dustries of the world, and one of the
great industrial cities of the CONT
nent; that his industries employed
hundreds of thousands of men; that
he was no worse than other very rich
men, and that to attack him was to
attack success, that deity of Ameri-
can life; that he had been generous
with his money: that Cleveland ought
to be proud of having the richest man
the world had ever known for its
mayor; a man who had been, and in
future would surely be, if he were
elected. the occasion of making the
city the most advertised and talked
about town in the continent.

Mrs Nfackay's candidacy has been a
remarkable one in many ways. That
she. a woman of great wealth, should
care about the schooling Of the little
Roslyn children at first tickled the
pride of the villagers. After a while it
occurred to some OF the town sossips
that it was condescension. This rank
led. and when Augustus S. Downing,
third assistant commissioner OF educa-

Mackay's suggestion came down from

quito fine enough for anybody, and
ordered many changes with some sharp
criticisms. There were sharp protests.
