A BALLAD OF SCHOOL DAYS.

Tbs lads and lassies scsmper OF to school;
Their faces brightly beamins. the sunshine sayly

Through breezy branches round wildwood pool
With thought Of care or wosrJ, through the door
they dash and hurry.
Free and nosy a whirlvind rushing By.
Each airy soul Is glowing and with rapture overflow

As they trip away to school 50 light and SPY.
What stiffness follows al their shouts and merry
laughter;
The house seems lonely to the passing thousht,
While mother signs half weary at the change %

All unconsdously those little footsteps wrought
sportive hours Of vartiou full Of golden fascination
Are chatted over on the way TO school,

Then brave hearts. now wild and cherry, will gruw

Prince of the Poets.


From the London Evening Standard

found lying dead upon his bed by his
landlady. Last Sunday he accompanied
Messrs. Henri de Regnier. Victor Mar

house where the poet Stephane Nal.

which he had written in honor of the an

The good woman scolded him for say

brother called and stayed with him till

IDENTIFY anticipated that this will entirely
disappear as he grows older.
Like most boys OF his age, the youns
prince is extremely fond of a joke. This
proclivity was much encouraged by his
grandfather. King Edward, who made
a great pet of him. On one occasion the
boy saw garden roller on the slopes al
Windsor Castle carefully propped up TO
prevent 1t from running down hill. Sly
ly he removed the wedges, and then re-
tired to a snug corner to watch the
garden stan vainly chasing 1t as It ran
away. gaining momentum every instant.
He has always been something of a
tease. but 1t Is good-humored fun. and
he Is Is well entertained when the joke
Is turned against himself as when he
has victimized some one else. At the
same time, he has a seriousness of char
acter that will stand him in excellent
stead when he comes to assume respon-
sibilities to which he is yet a stranger.
Those who know him best declare that
in every way he will prove a worthy
successor to his father and grandfather

School Opens To-day.

This is the day most dreaded by
young America" after three months
of freedom and unalloyed bliss, and yet,
when once the change" has penetrated
Willie's or Jimmy's rebellious system, it
may be said without fear of contradic-
ton that the majority of our boys are
glad to be in school again, for no lad
more than the American boy is anxious
to broaden his mind, is ambitious to be-
come somebody" through his own eff
forts when grown to manhood.
This for the boy! But the mothers?
Many no doubt will welcome the relief
from the noise and worry of her young
hopeful. They SAY" that now they will
have more time and peace to attend to
the baby of their household duties. Yes;
they will proclaim it with sigh of re-
lief and satisfaction, but ask them a
few days hence. Jimmy or Willie may
be nuisance when at home, but they
brighten and make more cheerful the
home, and their mother, the novelty
once worn off, will sadly miss their
companionship, the very essence of our
domestic life!
Some 5o,ooo-odd of our rebellious
boys and girls are quite an army for
the 1900 teachers of the District to face
and to conquer, and yet there will be
no noticeable disarrangement of the ad
ministrative or social life of our city.
But there will be some changes. The
new law in regard to the exclusion of
Maryland and Virginia pupils under
certain conditions goes into effect Out
lying schools in the Northwestern and
Northeastern section. especially, will
feel this falling off in the school at
tendance But Washington is rapidly
growing. creating suburbs of its own,
and the two or three thousand pupils
which may be lost soon will be replen-
ished.
The Herald already has taken occa-
sion to point with great pride TO the
exceptional educational facilities of our
Capital City. The boy or girl who at
tends our schools enjoys an exceptional
privilege. Let US hope that they will
profit by it.

The Lincoln Proclamation.

Yesterday was the fftieth anniversary
of the issuance by Abraham Lincoln of
his preliminary proclamation of eman-
cipation, announcing that, if by the first
of January following (Is63), the Con-
federate States did not lay down their
arms, all slaves would be emaneipated.
We know that the Confederacy did not
yield; that theoretically the black man
was freed on New Years day, 1863
but that practically his freedom came
only with the triumph of the Union
arms.
1t is not known generally that Lin
coins proclamation did not affect loyal
States in which there was slavery, GER
tain specific districts being exempted be-
cause they were in the military posses
sion of the United States, or, as in the
case of West Virginia, were loyal COM
munities. which occasionally became the
scenes of battles
Lincoln is sometimes criticised for not
seeing" that slavery was the real"
issue of the civil war This is unjust
For the great President saw" far more
clearly than did the millions who had
remained loyal to the flag. 1t has be-
come the fashion to speak OF the civil
war as if at the outset the North. in
accepting the challenge of the South,
did so with the fixed determination to
abolish slavery. The truth is that the
North at first had to fight to perpetuate
the Union. II came only very tardily
to the mind of Charles Sumner that
ito abolish slavery meant to hamstring
the revolution"
Ethically speaking, the world of 1862
is more than fifty years back of our
world of this day The Abolitionists
viewed slavery with adherence. but
mostly it was regarded with an emotion
hardly stronger than dislike They
would have been willing to purchase
manumission. Lincoln himself. had it
been possible for him to do so. would
have bought the freedom of the slaves.
There was nothing radical about Lin
coin when taking this radical step, for
he traced his power to strike this stag
gering blow at slavery to the organic law
OF the nation, finding it in his constitu-
tional war" power as cornmander-in-
chief of the army. Lincoln's humani-
tarianism fully conceded with his states
manship, but what he did was done
after utmost elaboration. and not in a
paroxysm of philanthropy
OF what the colored race would be-
come, when freed. he could hardly then
foresee He plainly had his doubts as
to their ability as soldiers. and he GER
tainly had never dreamed that within
a short few years the electoral fran
chise would be conferred upon them
Slavery became dead in the United
States officially on December IS, 1865.
when it was announced that the thir-
tieth amendment to the Constitution had
been ratified by three-fourths of the
States.

Ulster Declares Civil War"

Is Ulster greater than the British
Parliament, just as once upon a time
our own South Carolina was greater
than the Congress of the United States
Ulster practically has declared its act
Of notification, has pledged itself tc
decline to recognize home rule, and
making such pronunciamento still
stronger by attempts at assassination Of
political adversaries.
The desperate politicians who have
melted the Irish Unionists to issue this
formal threat no doubt anticipate great
results when the home rule bill is
taken up again in the House of Com
mons, hoping to intimidate the govern
ment. Bonar Law, the Unionist leader
and Sir Edward Carson, a former At
torney General, have deliberately
preached rebellion to Ulster, and this
league and platform of the Irish Union
lists is the direct fruit of their efforts.
But what makes such conduct so
much more reprehensible and to be
feared is that to civil strife now is be-
ing added the threat of religious war,
a fearsome condition, indeed, in Ulster,
of all Irish counties. If bigotry or ia
naticism alone were at the bottom of
the arrti-home rule demonstrations in
Ulster, there may be an excuse for the
ringleaders, coupled with. pity. But the
men who have engineered it have de-
liberately appealed to religious passion
and prejudice to further the ends of a
political party. Such means are not al
lowable even in politics, for the torch of

religious fanatieism, once lighted, there
is no telling how far the conhagration
will extend, or whether it ever could be
extinguished throughout England.
There was British statesman once
who said: ulster will never be con-
quered" If Britain will not subdue it
now, it may be too late when the storm
of religious intolerance has swept
across the Irish Channel-and fartherl
