WHAT IS A POET?

Mr.. Ambrose Bierce, one of William
Randolph Hearst's young men and
professedly literary critic, seeks to
cast aspersions on the memory of the
late John Hay by insinuating that he
was not poet. Mr.. Bierce, although
a caustic and iconoclastic commenta-
tor, is usually just in his conclusions,
but there are many who will disagree
with his decision in regard to Hay S
poetic ability.
Did Mr.. Bierce ever. read the follow
ing lines:
For ever in thine eyes, o Liberty,
Shines that high light whereby the
world is saved,
And, though thyl STAY us, we will
Trust in thee"
If that is not poetry, Mr.. Biepce
what is. it?

New York. July 11.-Tomorrow will
be the thirty-seventh anniversary of
Sthe last big riot that the metropolis
has known There have been minor
disturbances since that time. like the
Union Square riot" and Fourth of
July and New Year celebrations, but
the so-called Orange uprising remains
at the head of the list. It would be
useless to drag forth such narrowing
recollections from the limbo of for
getfulness. except to point moral
and adorn a tale.
There was published in New York
at that time daily newspaper, now
: happily gone to its long rest. which
justified its existence by serving as
the organ and mouthpiece of the
Tweed ring. In some of its methods
it deserved the title of the original
yellow journal of New York. When
ever the ring was hard pressed by
outraged public sentiment or belliger-
ent reformers, the newspaper organ

SURETY COMPANY BONDS

down surety bonds and accept moth
ing but such bonds as are negotiable
and Immediately available in the event
OF the failure of the depository to
comply with its obligations, or to pay
out the state money promptly upon the
presentation of proper warrant.
1t is an odd situation in which the
three members of the depository COM
mission, Mr.. Edwards, Governor Noel
and Attorney General Fletcher. find
themselves. Each has his own par
ticular views on this question of Sc
curity, and while the Governor and
attorney general agreed on the ques-
ton of accepting these surety bonds.
their reasons for reaching that con-
clusion are very different.
Both Governor Noel and Treasurer
Edwards have given out statements to
the press explaining their positions
pretty clearly, but the attorney gem
eral has so far contented himself by
agreeing with the Governor in his con-
clusion and with the statement that
their method of reaching it are entire
ly different.

Jackson. Miss, July lit can be
stated with good deal of assurance
that State Treasurer Geo. R. Edwards,
Jr., will not accept the bonds of surety
companies for state repositories.
When asked for a statement he said
that he would not cross the bridge be-
fore he got to it, but when it was sug-
gested that statement. from him in
advance would be of service to the
banks proposing that form of security,
besides being. a matter in. which the
public is greatly interested, he merely
said that his resolution offered at the
recent meeting of the depository COM
mission ought to be sufficient indi-
cation of his position. Further than
this he declines to discuss the mat
ter.
1t is known that, in addition to his
own strong aversion to this form of
security for the state funds in deposit
tories, Mr.. Edwards has discussed the
subject with some very influential
friends who have advised him to turn

one newspaper succeeded in producing
among the femme population of the
city a universal fit of hysteria by its
exaggerated and highly colored re-
ports of attacks upon women. Many
innocent men were attacked by mobs
and incipient riots resulted. The
cleverly fostered sex-hysteria reached
threatening proportions before fresh
sensations served to divert the sleuth
hounds of the press to other fields.

SKY sCRAPING.

Time was, and that not so long ago,
when dinky, squat little structure of
twenty or twenty-five stories was con-
sidered a veritable triumph of the
sky-scraping art. We of New York,
who take such pride in our high
buildings. are almost ashamed to ad-
init that we were ever awed by such
toy buildings, yet such is the fact.
Only last year, when the Singer
building had reared itself into the blue
empyrean to the extent of forty-one
stories, we assumed a chesty attitude
as of one who had reached the limit
of achievement, and mailed postcard
pictures of the remarkable edifice to
all our friends and enemies in other
cities. Then. up on Madison Square,
the Metropolitan LIES tower climbed
up to a height of forty-six stories.
Most of us have now reached point
of blase Indifference, and the an.
nouncement of new record-smashing
structure fails to excite us. The
Equitable Life building, it is an.
nounced, will be sixty-two stories in
height
Now it is rumored that prominent
firm of architects is considering plans
for a skyscraper of 100 stories. The
transportation difficulties, it is al
legged, will be solved by providing
pnuematic tubes instead of elevators.

crosses denied any knowledge of who
made the cut, though it was not
shown that anybory else was playing
with them. The judge finally told
them that he did not care to hear any
more lying and that he would fine
them $40 each.
The only other case tried was Man
uel Coleman, negro, charged with
stealing brass from the Mississippi

pany. He was fined $25.

OF course, the critic might urge that
the great statesman was mistaken as
to the quality of the light that shines
in the eye of Liberty; that in fact,
the lady is blind; that she is a myth,
and that, if she really existed, few of
us would trust her with five cents,
much less our valuable lives. But that
has nothing to do with the quality of
poetry.
