Decline of Quotation.
From the New York World

Cardinal Gibbons charge that Ameri.
can public men quote less from the Bible
than their predecessors did. less than
Webster did, admits of some exceptions
Mi. Bryan is greatly given to biblical
quotation. In a speech TO Il Tammany
leaders following i'm this city last June
he cited the story of Joseph to support his
argument. President Roosevelt quotes
with equal facility from the Bible, Bum
yam and Bishop Hooker. In his WASH
inSton address on the limitation of large
fortunes lie referred to the cracking Of
thornS under a pot and to sowing the
wind and reaping the whirlwind. Gov.
Stokes of New Jersey introduced Gov.
Fort, when the latter took Office, with q
scriptural quotation.
But If the custom of Bible quotation
and allusion is falling into disuse is not
one reason of ii the decline of the old
household familiarity with the Scrip

boys no Logger form their English style
from the Bible. as Ruskiu did. The
disuse of scriptural quotation in oratory
has merely kept pace with the decline of
ella ssical quotation and of quotation gem
orally. Parliamentary speeches arc no
longer interiarded with scraps from
Horace or Virgil. The fashion has
changed since Disraeli condemned a
member to silence for entire session
for the misqCo+at.on OF a Latin line.
James Russell Lowell quoted Horace to
President Cleveland at the Harvard COM
memoration exercises, but the occasion
and the acad emic atmosphere justified the
act. But what congres sman would dare
infiict q Latin phrase in the House?
Simplicity is now the thing. Nearly all
the old formal apparatus of eloquence of
the kind which even In Burke drove his
hearers to the anteroom is now done
away with. The tricks and ornamental
ton of oratory are dispensed with. and
with them has gone the affectatiop Ct
culture shown in free quotation.
