Millar. elitr of The . . New York Times, replies to Fer.ator Hoar's paper in. in? April Forum on "Has the South Degenerated?" His , reply appears In the May number. Of course the senate has degenerated, ani no has the house, and so have many other things. The country has degen erated, and with it the high sense of . , honor, and justice, the attachment to liberty, the purity of society, the spirit 1 1 of public economy and so on ad infin itum. And so has literature in all of its forms. Where are the rivals of Cooper and Hawthorne;ofPoe and Long fellow, of Lowell and Lanier, of Emer son and Holmes, of Prescott and Mot t " ley, of Bancroft and, Hlllard? Where are the rivals of Calhoun and Clay, of ' McDufne and Badger, of Benton and Webster? Where are the rivals in y journalism of the highest kind of Jo- '5 seph Gales and Horace Greeley, of John r Hampden Pleasants and John M. Dan- iel, of Henry J. Raymond and George Prentice? Is there "decadence" any- "i. f where or all around? We should think ' there was and in ' most conspicuous - abundance.. Where are there lawyers I today who equal Marshall and Iredell, V Webster and Choate, Reyerdy Johnson , ' and Petigru, Badger and the elder Ruf- fin? The pulpit is about the only thing, . . the only arena that shows no intellect- '" -: ual decay. The preaching is less suc- cessful in results, but it is often as eloquent and as a general thing more Scholarly. We do not believe that the latch of Bushnell and Ward Beecher, f Jonathan Edwards and Dr. Francis 4. Haws, of Andrew Broadus and te elder John Kerr, of Lovick and George Pierce, of Murisey and Heze kiah G. Leigh, of Mafflt and Tom Lowe can be found, although there are still "many and even superb preachers, we rejoice to say. John Kerr could hold his audience in leash for three hours. . ... Hezekiah Leigh could preach an entire ; t congregation in a city to their feet. Both were native North Carolinians. We said there was no "intellectual de cay." But there is a falling away of I power the power that comes from the Holy Ghost that swept audiences like a sirocco prostrating them. Bishop Wilson is surely a great preacher, but he never influenced and controlled au- dionoaa grrcat fattier ctlvjl. Mr. Miller is right when he contrasts the senate now with that great body that sat between 1843 and 1853. Will that time be repeated? Very doubtful to say the least. In that time, not to N , name all, sat Benton, Buchanan, Choate, Woodbury, Silas Wright, Cal houn, Cass, Reverdy Johnson, Webster, Corwin, Jefferson Davis, Douglas, Hun ter, Chase, Henry Clay, Ewing, Hale, Winthrop, Seward, J. A. Bayard, Ham - . lin, Sumner and Wade. "We do not re- . ( member if Mr. Badger was in the sen ate during the decade. Hamlin, of Maine, in his reminiscences of the sen ' ate, Justly said that while Badger was not generaly accorded the first rank with the few greatest he was none the less one of them. When he retired he vas the leader on the Whig side. But although the New York editor flippantly underrates the present sen ate and denies to them any greatness, t and even says that in it there Is "no great name" it is not true. There is certainly one great intellect in the senate and if the New Yorker had more breadth of view, clearness of vision, candor of mind and catholicity of judg ment he would not I question. Senator Morgan would rankhigh in any body of intellectual men who ever sat in this - country. We can show a speech of his . that will compare well, not in rhetoric we grant, but in mental power and acuteness with the speeches of Mr. Webster. In the present senate and from 1889 to 1897 taking another decade, there have been or are such men as Morgan, i AlHs&rf, Gorman, Hoar, Voorhees, Vest, Dj. B. Hill, Mills. Vilas. Vance, J. P. Jones, Gordon, Turpie, Blackburn, Vest, Stewart, Sherman. Bate. Mills. Coke, George, and. others if we had the com-. , plete record at hand. These are men of superior talents, and some are distin guished above others for high abilities or noble oratory. Mr. Miller is such a cantankerous goldbug his prejudices dominate and blind him. Among the foremost men in the sen ,. ate for the decade indicated,' according to Miller, are such lofty names sound, it not in Gotham as Foraker, Hanna (Mark, mind you). Palmer, Brice, Piatt, Quay, Elkins, Tillman, Peffef, and Vi- las. When one reads the list it is enough to agree that the "decadence" is complete. He can give the case to the jury after that array of immortals. ' We doubt if the New York editor ever heard of any of the first-rate men in the south except Mr. Jefferson and two or three others in the remote past, and the three or four leaders he designates in the senate from 1843 to 1853. He finds very little to hurrah over it seems. Take the, New( York newspapers now. Compare the present editor of the Times (Miller) with Raymond. Com pare Reid with Greeley of The Tribune, j . Make the rounds and see how the pres ent tribe will measure with the great ' ' editors in former years. Is there de- j generacy? j - How many -Tnen editors included "up north"' -,ever read Calhoun's debate with Webster, or Hayne's reply to Webster's greatest and . most eloquent speech? .The opinion is always given . that Webster won a great victory. But ' - " the opinion is not well based,, for It is not after reading Hayne's speeches. We think a candid judgment based upon close reading of the speeches of both Hayne and Webster will compel . a reversal of Judgment, and If not a - victory for Hayne, at least that it was a drawn battle. Webster builded great er speeches .as to style than any other American. Read Calhoun and say hon estly if Websterput more train power In his oratory than Calhoun did In his masterly speeches. . .. LITERARY GOSSIP, In Georgia an old question has been revived that Poe stole his poems from Thomas H. Chivers, M. D. The Geor gians believe It. It is an old contro versy . that began - before Poe died in 1849. and was continued for years. DrU Chivers doing most, if not all, of the writing in behalf tof his own claims In the May Forum there is a paper upon the controversy by a good -northern errtic, Mr. Joel Benson, who is quite familiar with the wide range of discussion, and has written upon it be fore. Chivers wrote 'seven or eight vol umes that are about forgotten, ome of his poems clearly suggested to Poe two or three of his most famous po ems. That is perhaps certain. The workmanship and inspiration of Poe. when placed by the poems of the Geor gian show a wonderful difference And all for the alleged poetic thief. Much that Chivers wrote was namby-panaby, jor as Mr. Beriton says of "the atmos phere of Humpty Dumpty." Yet he rose greatly above 'this at timep and showed himself a Teal poet with certain magic and inspiration and art of his own. It is an old charge against the great poets from Homer to Tennyson that of plagiarism. Shakespeare, Mil ton, Tennyson and other masters have all been forced upon a critical grid iron. Mr. Benton makes some , happy remarks in closing his paper, from which we take this: "No critic will doubt that to Poe be longed the wonderful magle and mas tery of this species of song. If to him who says a thing best the thing be longs, no one will hesitate to decide that Poe Is entitled to the bays which crown him. It Is a fact that, with all the contemporary airing of the sub ject, it is Poe's celebrity and not Chiv ers' that remains. The finer -instinct and touch are what the world takes ac count of. Chivers, except at rare in tervals, did not approach near enough to the true altitude. He put no boun dary between what was grotesque and what was inspired. He was too short breathed to stay poised on the heights and was but accidentally poetic. Truly enough Shakespeare says: "The lunatic, the lover and the poet, Are of imagination all compact . . ." Their mental and spiritual territo ries interblend. The same frenzy is the endowment of each as charcoal Is in essence the diamond. - As you dif ferentiate and develop it you make your titular distinction and place." A daughter of Charles Dickens, Ma mie, will soon publish a volume bear ing the title, "My 'Father as . I Recall Him." It will be read with Interest no -doubt for the gifted story teller and creator has not grown stale or lost his Lgrip upon the world. Rev." Robert F. Ho'rton will .soon is sue a new work on the great Cromwell that promises to be of real Interest. He calls it "Oliver Cromwell; a Study in Personal Religion." Readers of about 1850-55 will retail William Allen Butler's two dashing satirical poems that were read by every body, called "Two Millions" and 'Nothing to Wear." They have still readers at home (the author is a (New York city lawyer) and have recently been translated into German and ed ited. - Hawkins' "Phroso" is having a big sale in this country. But there is a flood of new novels, and to be counted by the dozens, and not one in fifty really worth wasting time over to the neglect of the standard works. Mrs. in its eleventh edition in this country. It is said to be by the better critics a novel of - power and , real dramatic handling and full of vitality and inter est. We are disposed to believe it is so, but have not read it. A valuable work recently out is "A History of Recent Greek Literature" by Professor Gilbert Murray, of Glas gow University. It is one of the series upon the "Literatures of the World," edited by that capital scholar and critic Edmund Gosse. The scheme embraces such well known authors as Professor Edward owden, who is " responsible for "iFrench Literature," professor Richard Garnett for "Italian Litera ture," Mr. J. Fitzmaurice-Kelly for "Spanish Literature," Dr. George Brandes for "Modern Scandinavian Literature," and so on, Mr. Gosse re serving for himself "'English Litera ture." - Mark Twain will publish his travels in Australia, India and South Africa in the fall. He is reported as now writing a book upon the plan of "The Innocents Abroad." Mr. Edgar Valdes makes an interest ing study In London "Temple Bar" of "The Birds of Tennyson," it being a spring-time study of the poets themes of spring. A life of Laura Keene, a famous ac tress of forty-five years ago who was very popular has been published. She was of English birth. We remember to have seen her several times in New York in the early fifties. An interesting discussion on the Shakespeare portraits will be seen in Harper for May. Mr. John Corbin discusses "Two Undescribed Portraits" and interestingly. Mr. Stoddard says in The New York Mail and Express "that the eyes of the newly discovered por trait are gray, and as this is proba ble the only. life portrait in existence, they probably correct a long standing misconception." The old opinion was that the eyes of the world's greatest poet were brown. Reader, have you ever read that fit companion to Tennyson's immortal in spiration, "Crossing the Bar,"! and Bourdillon's" six line lyric, the title wo do not recall at this moment, one of the Elizabethan lyrics forever memorable, entitled "The White Rose" old but beautiful in its artlessness? Here they are: THE WHITE ROSE. Sent by a Yorkish lover to his Lan castrian Mistress. If this fair rose offend thy sight, Placed In thy bosom bare, 'Twill blush to find itself less white, And turn Lancastrian there. But if thy ruby lip it spy, As kiss it thou mayest deign, With envy pale 'twill-lose its dye, And Yorkish turn again.. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAT. Take Laxative Ttmmn Oiitnine Tab lets.

In Part VII, in "Harper" for May he writes of "The White Man's Black Man." He gives two authentic stories taken from the lips of negroes by an expert. They read very much like the famous folk-lore stories of "Uncle Remus." One is "The Romance of the Rabbit." and the other "The Sky Country." These papers are copiosly Illustrated and the pictures would be excellent portraits of the negroes in the south after a hundred or two nun dred years of. the benefits, of civiliza tion by example. "On pages 890-91 are two portaits of which dozens of negroes in this city might have Bat for. And so oh 894th page. We make a few ex tracts of Mr. Bigelow's studies in the African country. He is a northern au thor.- He says Mr. Edward J. May, who is general manager of one of the extensive mines, not far from Johan nesburg, said that "the natives of Cape Colony were generally better educated than those of any other, but were, in consequence, "great blackguards and schemers." Mark the "in consequence." He said farther: "These furnish the sea-lawyer and agitajtori class, and are generally idle and good-for-nothing. A great many of these boys pro fess Christ, but they lack all sense of right, and gratitude is unknown amongst them." ; . How familiar that reads. He " has nearly S00 natives at work Who are paid weekly. He says "that for two days" one-third tho time you see "out of every week about half of the number spent their time in visiting the drink-shops." But few fights occur. The suppression of the liquor traffic in the Orange Free State has worked wonders. It was abolish ed on 31st December 1883. To show the changes wrought by this suppression of a great wrong, Mr. Bigelow gives am ple evidence from Judges and others. Af FIcksburg he found an empty jail. Formerly It was crowded, a perfect pandemonium. The business of the courts has fallen so much as to range fully 1,000 per cent, or more. Where there were sixty prisoners awaiting trial at one town, now there were but four. It is seen how the liquor traffic and habit works ruin in Africa as in America, The natives live longer in Africa than the whites. Mr. Bigelow finds the "civilization" introduced by the whites doing harm rather than good to the jiatives. He says the health of the natives is better in savage stage than under civilizing associations. They are exposed to disease far more than in the wild state. The whites think the rate of increase -will diminish hereafter. But the natives are learning to rely more upon their own labor for food than formerly. They now send out their young men to labor when there is scarcity. Formerly, they would go out on a war raid to plunder neighbors. Take JOHNSON'S CHILL & FEVER TONIC. SNAPS.

Senator Daniel has hardly fallen below expectation at any time.

It says the house will not pass the sen ate bill and McKlnley is much disap pointed. They are omniverous if that greedy bill will not appease their appe tites. Rev.
