'THE MAN WITH THE HOE,
BY EDWIN MARKHAM.
Concord, N. C, Oct. 27.
ELECTION OF SENATORS.
In another column will be seen
the views of Col. Waddell and
his conditional candidacy. We
suppose that the Democratic
p& . ty is committed to the policy
of electing United States Sena
tors by popular vote, but we
confess we. have not yet been
won to the innovation. We take
it that the old ways should stand
till wisdom demands the new.
-
The founders of this great
republic seem to have looked
well to every step, taken in the
formulation of a system of pop
ular jrovernment. not too liable
.' o ch r - ges and innovations. In
steau of one legislative body
two were conceived, or rather
one legislative- power composed
-of two branches. One of these it
1 was conceived should be of repre
sentatives of the people directly,
the other of the several States in
the union and as lar removed, as
p . rble irom the direct popular
vote. Hence the election of
representatives by the people
once every two years, while the
States are represented by officers
elec ted once every six years.
Thus the representatives fresh
from the people would carry up
'to Congress the sentiments and
d emails of the people. But
these are liable to be the results
is til
Bowed by the weight of centu
ries he leans v
Upon his hoe and gazes upon the
ground,
The emptiness of ages in his
face, -
And on his back the burden of
the world.
Who made him dead to rapture
and despair, !
A thing that grieves not and that
never hopes,.
Stolid and stunned, a brother to
the ox?
Who loosened and let down this
brutal jaw?
Whose was the hand that slanted
back this brow?
Whose breath blew out the light
within this brain?
Is this the Thins: the Lord God
made and gave
To have dominion oversea and
land,
To trace the stars and search the
heavens for power;
To feel the passion of Eternity?
Is this the dream He dreamed
who shaped the suns F" i
And pillared the blue firmament
with light?
Down all the stretch of Hell to
its last gulf .
There is no shape more terrible
maninis ;
More tongued with censure or
the world's blind greed p
More filled with signs and por
tents for the soul-
More fraught with menace to the
universe.
What gulfs between him and the
seraphim!
Slave of the wheel of labor, what
to him
Are Plato and the ewing of
Pleiades?
What the long reaches of the
peaks of song,
The rift of dawn, the red redden
ing of the rose?
Through this dread shape the
suffering ages look,.
Time's tragedy is in that aching
stoop;
Through this dread shape huj
manity betrayed,
Plundered, profaned and disinherited,
Cries protest to the Judges of
the World,
A protest that is also prophecy.
O masters, lords and rulers in all
lands,
Is this the handiwork you give
to God,
This monstrous thing distorted
and soul-quenching,
How will you ever straighten up
this shape?
Give back the upward looking
and the light,
of tidal waves and abnormal Rebuild in it the music and the
political conditions whose policies dreams;

An extended clixical use of Har

one of the best if not the best,
Lithia Water known, to- the pro

We are not sure as. t the ex
tent of pleasure-derived by .our
readers from poetic quotations
that we occasionally - insert.
Poetry is to the emotional soul a
well-spring of joy like that of
harmony of sound to the ear and
of color to the eye. No more
exquisite sense of beauty fn na
ture and art is afforded than that
from the poet's strains. Yet not
all like music, painting: nor
sculpture and poems of consider
able length have been :a voided.
This accounts for the fact that
"The Man With the Hto'? has
not found its: way into xur col
umns before. There is a sublim
ity about this poem that is jwell
worth the studious reading,
though it must be a reader that
reads it to catch enough of the
spirit of the author to keep
within the echoes of his match
less, though somewhat plaintive,
song. There are extant, too,
some parallels and some of a
parodic nature that are quite en
joy able and should follow, not
precede the original.
Make right the immemorial in-
woes.'' .
