THE HAPPY WARRIOR.
Three Persons Suggested Reading o,
Poem at Cleveland's Funeral.

Princeton Letter in Brooklyn Eagle.
They said Grover Cleveland would be
but they We're wrong. The funeral was
turned into a poem that was itself a
song, a eulogy and a erInon The
most beautiful euIogy EVER written by
William Wordsworth was read over
the coffined form Of the former presi-t
dent and applied to him and to his life.
By a remarkable coincidence, or con-
currence in the minds Of the three per-
sons nearest to Mr.. Cleveland, the great
poem of Wordsworth was chosen sep
arately and individually by the three
AS the one human expression most fit
Of the dead. No greater tribute could
be paid to h character OF Mr.. Cleye-
land than this fact that his life and
deeds We're such that when those who
loved him best sought Independently OF
each other to find a suitable expression
of his character, they turned spontane-
ously to the Wordsworth poem that
pictures a happy warrior with great
ness almost sublime.
The selection OF the Wordsworth
poem was a remarkable incident in
the funeral arrangements. The Incl
dent was suggestive almost Of the SUI
p~ernatural in the coincidence and
agreement of the mental processes that
led to the selection. Without any .sug-
gestion that a poem should be read at
l1iS AuASinAy Tie SNOIQSWOFiI poem was
selected separately by Mrs. Cleveland,
the widow; by Rose Elizabeth Cleve-
land, the sister Of the dead man, and
by DR.. Henry a Dyke, who was
closer to Mr.. Cleveland than any other
friend in the last few weeks of the
fatal illness.
After the death of Mr.. Cleveland, DR..
van Dyke, who lives across Bayard
lane from the Cleveland home, was sit
ting in Westland with Mrs. Cleveland
and Rose Cleveland. After a long pause
in the conversation, Mrs. Cleveland
said
I have been thinking OF a poem
about he happy warrior. The poem
appeals to me almost as a prophetic
description of my husband. 1t was
written more than a hundred years
age and it may be that it is not so
fitting as I think"
Nothing could be more appropriate
and no poet could have been more
prophetic" said DR.. van Dyke, drawing
from his pocket a copy Of Words
worth's poems. THAT is the very poem
/ nave thought Of as being opposite and
we'll adapted to the character of Mr..
Cleveland"
Rose Cleveland, In amazement, held
out a memorandum in writing. In
thinking Of some fitting tribute to her
brother. h had written down the
name of Wordsworth's poem, "Charac-
ter of the Happy Warrior"
So impressed We're they by this sim
gular agreement upon the poem tina
they determined to nay the poem read
at the funeral. 1t was chosen to take
the place of all eulogy nj song.

When the common soldiery came, the

raised the guard. All day the dusty

Charlotte Hillman stood at her post.
For every 10 soldiers who passed the

CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE,

The horror of the burning Of the
Cleveland school house surpasses any,
thing that has occurred in this country
for d long time. People were led to
believe that when the Iroquoise theater
was destroyed in Chicago and several
hundred men and women lost their
lives, that nothing could surpass that
horror. The destruction of nearly two
hundred little children, almost in sight
Of their parents, in a building con-
structed within the last few years. Is
something so terrible that words can
hardly express 1t. 1t is called an acci-
dent, of course. 1t is not an accident
1t Is the natural and proximate effect
of we'll known causes 1t is something
that might naturally be expected to
happen by any reasonable man.. Such
disaster is enough to disgust one with
our so-called modern civilization. In
this era Of steel and cement construc-
ton. it passes understanding how a
city can allow the construction OF
wooden and brick buildings of more
than one story. where hundreds OF
children congregatc daily. Added tc
the imperfection in construction, i,
maddens and sickens the heart to know

The conviction Of General Stoessel
and his sentence to death destroys the
only war hero of the Russians in the
late Japanese war. notwithstanding
the sympathy that is expressed for the
convicted man, the evidence makes it
quite plain that Stoesscl was rot the
hero he was once thought to oe. 1t is
reasonably certain that he could have
held Port Arthur for a few weeks
longer than he did This was an inn
portant matter to the Russians in Man
churia. The surrender of Port Arthur
allowed General Nogi and his tesieg-
ing army to join the Japanese forces
that were marching on Mukden and
thus made the Japanese army over
whelmingly superior to Kuropatkin's.
The holding out Of Port Arthur would
have obliged the Japanese either to
fight kuropatkin without the aid of
Nogi's army or to have delayed. The
delay would have enabled the Rus
slams who were bringing reinforce
ments over the Siberian railroad to
have greatly strengthened the defense.
1t is no wonder that the feeling against
Stoessel is bitter in Russia In view Of
his past record. however. the death
sentence seems severe.

WORK OF ANARCHISTS.

Sooner even than could have been
expected. another evidence of the work
of anarchy has been added to the list.
This time civil authority has been at
tackled. The attempt upon the life Of
the Chief of Police OF Chicago is an
act whiclt could not have been reason
ably expected in view of the unbridled
license that is permitted to Socialist
and Anarchist agitators. Even now.
with the Denver and Chicago crimes
fresh before the people. there are
apologists for Socialism and Anarch-
Ism. The leaders of anarchy when con-
fronted with the crimes of their dupes,
say that violence is not precept They
admit that they talk against all gov
ernmcnt, and yet when a follower of
the foul program attempts TO carry out
the preaching they disclaim response
bility.
In the case of the Denver priest,
Anarchists and Socialists attempted to
gain sympathy in anti-clerical quarters
by maintaining that anti -clericalistn
was different thing from Anarchy.
Nonsense. Not long ago. in the streets
Of Rome. the anti-clericals celebrated
The Haymarket tragedy. There is no
use of the American people deceivins
themselves about the plans OF these
people. Anarchy strikes with two
weapons: revolution against the civil
government and atheism against the
Church. With the one it hopes some
time to destroy all political govern
| mcnt; with the other it attempts to do.
