SEYMOUR EATON LITERARY TALKS AND REMINISCENCES xv. Perhaps the first and most vivid Impres sion one gets from reading rapidly large Quantities of Lowell's prose Is that of the richness and generosity of his nature. Nothing in Lowell's essays is eked out; "here Is God's plenty." His knowledge of fact and of anecdote In his treatment of literary topics Is seemingly boundless, find his critical essays have the air of be ing, not the clever and showy expression 2f masses of knowledge fresh won for the occasion, but the easy outpouring of stores of learning acquired through years of leisurely and happy communion with "books. He is, for example, far more copious in thought and fancy and illus tration than Matthew Arnold, whose es says in contract seem .somewhat thin and closely calculated directed with "malice prepense" toward a single point. In Lowell's essays there is much of the exuberance and luxuriant detail of na ture. Lowell's lyrical praise of June in several of his poems is typical of his character, and his writings have the warmth, the full-hearted ease and the sunntness of Summer weather. He is human through and through, and his es isays have a racy carthiness of substance and an aromatic fragrance of wild, nat ural iifc that remove them far from the Tcglon of Icy academicism. He had "mixed his blood with sunshine" and ""taken the winds into his pulses." TJp to the very last even after his years of brilliant foreign service Lowell was wont to speak of himself as "a biok roan," and doubtless It is as a writer about books that he will finally be dis tinctively remembered. Mr. Leslie Ste phen, "has left In a published letter a de lightfully Vivid sketch of Lowell In his Elmwood study; AX first etcrnt X found a singularly complete specimen of tho literary recluse, I remem ber. With a curious vividness, the chairs In which wo sat by the fireplace In the study. I Jook at the dedication of "tinder the Wil lows" And ffel that I too have heard his "Elm wood phlmreys -deep-throated roar," and In deed can almost hear it still. I need hardly add that we worshiped IJIcotla, dearer to the Muse Than all tho grape's bewildering Juice. All around uf were tho crowded book shelves, whose appearance showed them to be the com panions of the true literary workman, not of the mere dilettante or fancy biographer. Their ragged bindings and thumbed pages scored with frequent pencil marks Implied that they were, tu student's tools, not mere ornamental playthings. He would sit among his books, pipe In mouth, a book in band, hour after hour, and X was soon Intimate enough to sit by him and enjoy Interval"! of silence as well as periods of discussion and always delightful talk. This picture of Lowell as an American scholar devoted to letters is worth spe cial emphasis because of the fact that his social successes abroad has tended somewhat to pervert his image in the popular mind Into that of a polished so ciety functionary and a welcome and well pleased dweller in Kings' houses. Great Indeed was the favor he won in England as a graceful unveiler of busts and as a skilled coiner of after-dinner epigrams; very genuine, too, and deep was his ap preciation as appears from his letters of the peculiar position he attained In English society and of the Intensely stim ulating human intercourse to which it admitted him. In the later years of his American life at Deerfoot he seem some times to havo missed rather keenly in his ""cell" there the "breakfasts, luncheons, teas, dinners and 'goings-on " of his London life. Yet he insists that after all he "likes Deerfoot best." and no fair reader of his letters or later -writings can justly accuse Lowell of having been spoiled by his foreign popularity or of having lost any of his early ardent and almost religious love for American Ideals and the best types of American charac ter. Lowell's addresses on political subjects ought to be gathered together Into a single cheap volume and sent broadcast through the land. Nowhere are the dan gers of modern democracy more wisely and wittily set forth, always, however, with concurrent unfaltering faith In the worth of the democratic Ideal and In the cortainty of its future. There is not much -scientific thoroughness or acumen in Lowell's comments on institutions and political tendencies, very little phllo eophle suggestlveness such as Is found in Sir Henry Maine's or Mr. Brycc's treat ment of similar topics. But there is great practical wisdom, abundant intui tive insight into the American character end Its elements of weakness and strength, and a wise and accomplished rense of the possible value to Ameri cans of foreign experiments and meth ods and traditions; and, finally, there is everywhere a glowing .affection for the faith of the fathers and a noble loyalty to ideals in .politics i faith and a loy ally that we nowadays perhaps more than ever before need to have eloquently expressed by way of countercheck to the '"smart" selfishness of many of our practical politicians, and also to the sa tirical superiority of the "remnant," who too often Injure their cause by their airs and affectations. Lowell's wise earnest ness and fervent urbanity Impress and conciliate Instead of rasping and re pelling. In his political utterances there Is united more perfectly than anywhere else $be -wisdom of lhe fathers that be gaj: -us, the -assimilated -worth Qf jconr temporary polijieat experiments, abroad and, a -shrewd appreciation of the actual problpms and conditions Qf "practical pol itics" in America. But after all, 1n spite of the sterling value of these political addresses. It is LowelU the bookman, who is llkclv to be most perennially-interesting in the his tory of our literature. He is beyond de bate the greatest of our critics, and he Jias left, of all our writers. the most considerable mass of essays "that deal with purely literary problems. His meth od and manner as a critic vary widely. At times he is the reviewer pure and sicnplft dogmatic, caustic, contempora neous partisan. His essay on Carlyle's "Frederick" is written in this vein; it Is searching, suggestive. Impressively com petent, but somewhat intemperate in tone, violent both In praise and blame. Sometimes his essays are faithful scho lastic discussions of his subject, treit thoroughly and rystematlcally the life as well as the works of his author and consider patiently the traditional cruxes and the conventional doubts and que"- lions that his author's name suggests. His "Dryden" a favorite essay with Low ell himself) Is of this type. Sometimes he is wayward capricious, purely appre ciative a willful gossiper about likes and dislikes in literature. But whntver hi method or vein, h is always and In var! ibly a man, and he never loses fight of life and of the human worth of his subject. Our scholarship nowadays tends disastrously to hole-and-corner work. Myopic poring over trifles that is what many of our Teutonically trained stu dents devote themselves to. Some French man has called our age "the age of thp microbe." and indeed in scholarship as everywhere else the might and the -worth of the infinitely little have been perhaps exaggerated, or at any rate the study of the infinitely small has been monopollz inprly carried on to the detriment of the Indubitably great. Into this latter-dav neglect of the vital in scholarship L-well is never betrayed. He is alwavs mister of his learning; whatever the ago or the man or the book he discusses, his imag ination finds underneath the farts and the technical problems Involved some permanent human interest, the dramatic Interest of character In -ict'on. the ar tistic Interest of embodied beautv. the philosophic interest of rodal-and spirit ual forrs ri- vine on tb prorress of the race. "With Lowell scholarship al ways subserves life and ministers to the present needs of the human spirit. Lowell's poetry, apart from the "Big low Papers," falls into three periods, of which the second contains what Is finest and most imaginative. Before 1S50 his poetry Is for the most part, despito some poems that will always be favorites, over-rhetorical and declamatory much of It Is grotesquely imitative Of English models; "Rosaline" is palpably Inspired by Tennyson, and a "Legend Of Brit tany" is full of absurd echoes of Keats1 rhythms and tricks of manner. "Rhoe cus," "Columbus," "Hunger and Cold" and "To the Dandelion" are among the more original and permanently delight ful of the poems of this first period. The "Present Crisis" is magnificent rhetoric. is filled with noble passion for truth and I right, and rises now and then to pas sages of memorable power and beauty; yet It Is eloquence rather than poetry pure and simple. In many of the poems In "'Under the "Willows," on the other hand. In the "Washing of the Shroud" and in parts of the "Commemoration Ode" "ELMWOOD," THE HOME OF Lowell is really creative; he no longer merely talks In meter about Ideas and feelings, and expatiates on them thriugh the help of brilliant figures, but he rises into a region of intense lyrical feeling where every object Is radiantly alive with imaginative meaning, and where beauty of image and mu;Ic of phrase work to gether to instill a mood and a -thought into the reader's mind. There Is also far more sensuous splendor In these poems of the second period than in Lowell's earlier work; the Intense, vibrant Impres sionism of the "Appledore" sketches in "Under the "Willows" fairly rivals Mr. Swinburne's outdoor canvases, and the title poem, "Under the "Willows," contains some lustrous river landscape whose rich lmpasto and emotional glow will always be specially dear to dwellers by the Charle?. The poems of Lowell's third period, t be found for the most part in "Heartsease and Rue," are often sug gestive of Landor. They are for the most part permeated with a ganlal world ly wisdom through which there often sounds a note of Horatlan half-playful sadness. They seem the work of an ac- James Rnssell Lowell. complished scholar who smiles out upon life and back upon his earlier years of Ideal enthusiasm with kindly tolerance and yet by no means with entire disbe lief In ideals and certainly without cyn icism. Though Lowell" was greatly Longfel low's superior In vigor of thought, he had not Longfellow's singing instinct: too often In Lowell's verse the prose in tellectual processes fall to "pass in mu sic out of sight."' As an essayist and a writer of literary "causerles" he Is with out a rival among our American authors. His ubanity, his common sense and de licious worldly wisdom, his large apd sane outlook over life, his union of schol. arshlp with artlst'c sensitiveness, h's in exhaustible geniality and his lnveterately busy sense of humor unite to give his essays perennial charm and value. 0?5 kuzo Harvard University. CROKER FOR EXPANSION.- The Democratic Leader Declares That It Is a Question of the Day and Believes in It as a Pa triotic Policy. From the New Tork Journal. Every man, in my opinion, should ex press himself clearly on the great ques tion of the day. That question Is Na tional expansion, which has - been the mainspring of this Nation and the policy 'of the Democracy since the Nation's birth. The views which follow are mine personally, and I write them as a private Individual: I believe in expansion; I believe in holding whatever posiesslons we "have grained by annexation, pur chase, or war. Tliis policy is not only patriotic, but it is the only safe one to parsne. Any other policy wonld show weak ness on the part of the United States and invite foreign complications. This must be avoided, hence onr pol icy nxnst be vigorous. Every patriotic American, and ev ery Democrat in particular, should favor expansion. Jefferson was an expansionist, other wise he would nt have favored the ac quisition of Louisiana, with its foreign population, which in Jefferson's time was quite as remote as the Philippines. In this age of steam and electricity, distance is no argument against expansion. We spend millions annually for mission ary work In foreign countries. Now we have a chance to spend this money In our own possessions, and make the people of our new lands good, law-abiding citizens, who In time will be" loyal to our Con stitution and our flag. Take England, for example. The people of this little isle come pretty near owning the universe. Arc not our people as intelligent, as pow erful, -and as patriotic as the English peo ple? The United States Is the only coun try on earth superior to the English. Why not illustrate to the world that we are fully able to cope with greater problems than we have had occasion to in the past, and in the future dominate any emer gency? We have a population of 80,000,000 of peo ple; the country teems with young men full of life, hope and ambition. Why not give thre young men a chance to develop our newly acquired pcssjss'ons, and bul' r up a, country rivaling in grandeur and pa triotism' our own United States? I say by all means 'bold on to all that rightfully belongs to tts. If the great country west of the Rocky Mountains was filled with wild IndianB at the present moment, how long would it take us to suppress them and make them respect our laws and our Constitution? The same thing applies to the Philippines and any other country that may fall into our hands by the province of peace or wtfr. It Is an insnlt to the American peo ple and to our Has even to auggCBt that -we abandon the people we have released from bondage,, or, vrhnt -would be store disgraceful that tve should offer to sell' them io the highest bidder. Such a. proposition places the American people in the same category with the Chi nese, who have neither patriotism nor a foreign policy, and are in consequence utilized as a doormat by the powers of the world. This is too great a question to ba con sidered as a mere matter of dollars and cents. Our people want their rights pro tected; they will not figure on the cost. Bring it down to local government in the case of street cleaning the cry is, ""We want clean streets," regardless of the cost They demand them as their right. Just LOWELL, CAMBRIDGE, MASS. so with our possessions the people want the properties acquired by war protected. They will pay for a standing army, a powerful navy, and the protection of our flag the world over regardless of any monetary consideration. They have proved their willingness to sacrifice their blood for the honor of their country and their flag! And when the question is brought to an Issue they will arise as one man and demand expansion as a citizen's sacred right! RICHARD OROKER. New York, January 6, 1899. TRACES OF THE DELUGE. Object of Dr. Wright's Trip Through Siberia. NEW YORK, Sept. 21 Dr. G. S. Gregor, editor of the Homlletic Review, has just received a 'letter from the Rev. Dr. George Frederick Wright, of Oberlln Col lege, Ohio, which discloses the object of the trip the professor has started to make through Siberia. He is considered an au thority on the glacial period of tho earth's geological history and refuses to accept the theory that the deluge merely sub merged tho regions round about Pales- ktlne. He believes that when the author of the Pentateuch said. the waters cov ered the face of the earth, he meant it. Professor "Wright will go through tho mountains of Siberia far from where men ordinarily go. There he will make ex cavations. He will dig up the earth un til. with the geologist's eye, he discovers just that stratum which should havo been deposited during the period in which the deluge took place. Next he will explore the Caucasus Range, pass down to an cient Ararat, where tradition says the ark landed, and emerge from his .travels somewhere near Smyrna, Asia Minor. If, in oil the mountain regions he explores, Dr. "Wright finds the remains of the sea for which he looks, he will conclude that the deluge was a historical -fact. AT TUB HOTELS. THE PORTLAND.

Tha attendance at the State Fair Increases doily, and prom ises to mount' s-tAll higher tomorrow, tho otoslpg day of Oregon's greatest industrial exposition. Fine weather has brought out many who have been prevented from attending early in the week. The chief attractions will be the Elk parade, the 2:14 pace, and the consolation pace for the nine horses that were relegated to the "also ran" class in the 2:18 pace for tho Chamber of Commerce stake. Tho Elks' parade will be given by tho local lodge to allow home people and vis itors as well an opportunity to see the uniforms and drill which won for the lodge the mounted elk given a$ a prize at the Portland Street Fair and Carnival. The lodge will parade at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and tho procession will be headed by a float bearing the much-esteemed prize. The 2:H pace will be tho fastest event of the track, and will be participated In by nlro horses. It will be the occasion for good betting by those who enjoy rac ing best when they have money depend ing on the resuit. r The consolation pace will show to some extent tho difference between a poor track and a good one, for it Is quite cer tain that some of the horses which were distanced in the 2:18 pace Tuesday will beat the time made by the horses that won tho premiums. The track on Tues day was wet, while tomorrow the best kind of fast time turf will be insured. The livestock continues to be a great center of attraction. There are many who. never tire of looking at tho exhibits in this department and they make a tour of the stocksheds every day. There was a magnificent paradeof cattle and horses this mornine the. second stock parade of the fair. An Immense crowd of peoplft lined the'.outer edge and filled the center field of the track, over which tho proces sion prised. Nearly all the livestock awards have been made and by the blue ribbons pin ned to the stalls visitors are enabled to determine the animals which were con sidered best by the judges. Considerable buying and selling has been done, espe cially by goat breeders. Only the best of the nu.ny flocks have been brought to the fair, so the farmers who desire to embark In the goatraiIng business, as an aid to land clearing, have had an ex cellent' opportunity to buy the finest stock at fair prices. Dairy Premiums Awarded. The dairy premiums were awurded to day and went to the" following exhibi tor?: T. S. Townsend. of Portland, creamery butter, 1G pounds In sauares. Miss Emma Miller, Jefferson, dairy but ter, separator process. Mrs. J. B. Early, Salem, dairy butter, gravity process. Mrs. D. W. Early, Salem, second pre mium, dairy butter, gravity process. Miss Emma. Miller, sweepstakes, best display of butter, either creamery or dairy. Cheese premiums awarded in the follow ing order: Salem cheese factory, first; Laurence Co-Operative Creamery Asso ciation, second; Logan CTaecse Manufac turing Company, third; T. S. Townsend, fourth; L. B. Ziemer, fifth; W. H. Mur phy, sixth. Deaf Mnte School Pnplls Attend. Through the kindness of tho Southern Pacific Company in granting reduced rates, a carload of pupils from the deaf mute school were brought to the fair today. They were., taken through all tho departments, and all the exhibits wero oxplalned to them. " A crowd of patients at the asylum for the Insane have been brought to the fair, on two days. The patients were given, seats In the grandstand and were con ducted through' all the departments. Old. State Agricultural Society. The old Oregon Agricultural Society, consisting of some 50 life members, held its annual meeting this evening, and elected the following officers: President, John Wright; vice-president. John Min to; secretary, Jefferson Myers. It was decided to donate to the present BoaTd of Agriculture all the funds now on hand, amounting to about J3C0. . There Is an un derstanding that In consideration of this gift, the members of the old society shall always be admitted free 'to the annual fair. RACES DREW LARGE CROWD. Room in Grandstnnd Too Limited Good, Clean Sport. SALEM, Sept. 21. The grandstand ac commodations at the racetrack were far too limited for the vast crowd that assem bled this morning to witness the rates. Hundreds of men stood on the ground In front of the stand or crowded around the fence lining tho track. The races were called promptly on time, and everything passed off with clock-like regularity. The spectators took a lively interest in every heat, cheering the horses as they started and again when they passed under the wire on the return. It Is very noticeable that the people have confidence that the races this year are free from any trick ery. A visitor said today, "Money makes the mare go," but he was immediately contradicted by several men who have been regular witnesses of this year's races. The judges have watched closely for the slightest Indication of crooked work, and are not at all backward In giving warnings 'to drivers or riders who show any evidence of desiring to be oth erwise than straightforward and honest Since It has been learned that trickery cannot succeed, there has been but little attempt at that kind of work. A summary of today's races Is as fol lows: Pacing, 2:25 class, best 3 In 5, purse $400 Amos Wllklns Al Me won, Q. E. Perln ger's Dewey Ann second, C. P. Webb's Prince Tom third; best time. 2:10. There were four entries In this race. E. .C. Stattz's Almolone was distanced In the first heat. There were four heats, the time in the last being 2:2 Running, three-quarters of a mile, purse $200 Mrs. E. Starkey's Jim Bozeman won. John Agnew's Aborigine second, C. A. Cllne's Barnato third; time, 1:17. James Boyd's Tennessee Maid "also ran." There was considerable difficulty In getting the horses away, and after the finish the judges took time to consider their decision. When the result was an nounced the judges declared all bets off, and fined the riders of Barnato and New Moon $5 each. The people were left to draw their own conclusions as to the meaning of this action. Running, five-eighths of a mile, 2-year-olds, purse $150 N. S. Whltstone's Grade W. won, L. H. Whltmore's Setma second, Slfas Jones' Leola third; time, 1:05. Running, 5V$ furlongs, purse $150 F. O. Whltmore's Marengo won, A. Lester's Al mendral second, H. L. Adams' Give to Mo third: time. 1:11. These two races were close, but were without particular Incident. DEER BEING EXTERMINATED. Indians Are Killing Large Numbers on North Coast, for Hides Alone. VANCOUVER, B. C, Sept. 21. Passen gers from the North Coast report that the Indians are practically exterminating tho deer In that section."

TACOMA, Sept. 21. The City Council last night passed a street-car ordinance, limiting the number of passengers al lowed In a car. There was much oppo sition to the measure, as It will be al most impossible to enforce the law, as one wanting to go home would not care to wait for the next car, preferring to stand up in a full car to waiting 10 or IB minutes for another. The ordinance allows cars having a seating capacity of 35 persons to carry 100 per cent; 35 to GO, 75 per cent, and cars carrying GO or over. 50 per cent of their seating capacity. Children not pay ing fare are not Included. STRUCK BY TRAIN AND KILLED. Franlc Kiser, Former City Commis sioner of Spokane. SPOKANE, Sept. 21. Frank KIser, a former city commissioner, was struck by a Northern Pacific train this afternoon, hurled from a trestle and Instantly ki"l ed. Partial deafness prevented him from discovering the approach of the train. He leaves a widow here, and two sons m college at Ann Arbor, Mich.

McDonald, a mining man of San Francisco, has been examining Southern Oregon mining properties for Ballard & Martin. Booth & Wilhelm are engaged In open ing up their newly discovered copper property on Pickett Creek. About 13 claims have been located in this belt. The ore gives good assays In both gold and copper. Three 850-pound stamps are being in stalled In Wright & Son's new quartz mill on the east side of Gilbert Creek, near the railroad, In Southern Oregon. The machinery will bo In operation in a short time. The Old Channel Company, of Southern Oregon, during the coming season will be among the most extensive hydraulic op erators In the state. It Is making large Improvements orl tho A. & B. property at Gallce, lately purchased, and will operate four giants there during the coming sea son. At the Old Channel mine on Six Mile It will run three giants. The owners of the Yellow Horn mine, near Placer, are preparing to put up a quartz mill on their property and expect to have It operating in about a month. They have been doing a large amount of development work recently and are more than satisfied with tho appearance and prospects, both for excellence of ore and extent of' deposit. The vein varies In width from 1 to 4 feet and carries high values. A large amount of pre is now on tho dump awaiting the completion of the mill. Idaho Notes. The cornerstone of the new Presbyte rian Church was laid Thursday. Rain has caused much damage to unthreshed wheat about Stuart.
