EDMUND CLARENCE sTEDMAN

No one who knew and loved Mr.. Stedmau can write impl,sjouately of him at 0u. moment when the world seem, .onc.,.r because h, has gone out O. f,. bearing Wsg.u.esS courage, his bright intellect. his genius for fIicnd- ship with him. H. wa, much more than write. who has contributed to our literature a handful of striking or beautiful lyrics auUa substantial body of the most serious and most impor- tant criticism: he was a representative scholar in letters, whose natural gifts and personal force had been enriched and directed by constant contact with the best in thought and art. It is a marvel that the author of "The Victo- rian Poets" has done so much sound and genuine work in verse and prose under the pressure of so many other forms of activity In this respect he stands alone; and no small share of the deep respect in which he is held by those who knew him is due to the per ception of the tireless work which un- derlay his success. No man of letters in this country has stood more consist ently for the dignity and high tradi- tions of his craft than he; and no man has given his work finer avor of scholarship, and imparted to it more generously that largeneSS of view and quiet adjustment to the knowledge of the time in many departments which are possible to the student alone. If he had written occasional lyrics, or of those lighter essays which are some times produced rapidly in leisure mo- ments his success would have been comprehensible; but his work has had a substance and a continuity such as no other man has achieved who has suffered any division of his vital en- ergy.-The Outlook.

CACHES ROBBED

About 250 miners are said to be spending the winter on Little, Gaines, and Folger creeks, and so many caches had been robbed that the miners, hav- ing no other redress, banded together and took oath to kill at sight a person known as "Five Finger Jimmy against whom much evidence of guilt had been adduced.
 From one cache there was stolen over 1000 pounds of provision. With flour selling at $50 per hundred, and nothing retailing for less than Sl, ard all provisions scarce, it iS evident that the miners are in no mood to be tritied with. The chances are that "Jimmy' will meet with summary punishment before the legal authorities can secure his arrest and trial if he should fall into the hands of the suffering miners.
 There are times and conditions when self protection seems to justify the inn mediate iuniction of penalty upon an offender without waiting for the more tardy process of the law to give relief.

WRIGHT SECRETARY OF WAR.
Probably First Southern rIan ir
Republican Cabinet Since
Civil War.

Washington, June 19.-Secre-
tary Taft today presented to the
president his resignation. to take
effect June 80, and il was announc-
ed at the white house that Luke E.
Wright, of Tennessee will be ap-
pointed secretary of war to sue
ceed Mr.. Taft.
In making this appointment, the
president was influenced some
what by the desire to recognize in
an emphatic way, that there IS no
longer any dividing line between
the north and the south, and that
all good Americans are in thought
and deed one, and the president
was influenced still more by the
fact that Gov. Wright's personal
attributes and experience pre-
eminently fit him for this particu-
lar position.

Washington, June I8, 1908.

Washington, June I8, 1908.
Representative John Sharp Will
Iiains, Of Mississippi, has resigned
the minority leadership in the
House in the belief that the Demo
Gratis may organize the next Con-
gress, and should take advantage
of the short session to train their
best man for the Speakership. Ow-
ing to the strength which he de-
veloped a year ago, without seek
ing the honor, and III fact, protest
ing against the efforts of his
friends. it is highly probable that
Representative Champ Clark, of
Missouri, Mr.. Williams warm per-
sonal friend and supporter. will be
the new leader of the minority. 1t
is certain that all of the Williams
strength will be cordially given to
Mr.. Clark.

the present high price of beef di-
rectly to the money panic of last
October and to the operation OF
the tariff retail butchers, whole
sale dealers and packers yesterday
declared that they could see moth
ing on which to base predictions OF
lower prices for the best grades OF
meat
dressed carcasses brought from
half a cent to cent pound more
yesterday in New York than they
did on Monday, rejecting an in-
crease since last week of one and a
half cent in the Chicago price of
live steers, bringing the cost of
beef on the hoof' higher than it
has been in twenty-five years.
All interests declared that the
consumption of beef has fallen off
