THtOREGONlAN'b HOME STUDY CIRCLE: DIRECTED B: PROF- SEYMOUR EATON LITERARY TALKS AND REMINISCENCES XVII. (Concluded.) The creator of Zenobia did not worship at the shrine of Margaret. He probably valued silence more than speech. Haw thorne had, be It remarked, the strongest horror of being bored, but his manners were so perfect that this peculiarity al ways passed for shyness. Read his de scription of Concord In "Mosses from an Old Manse," of the ""variety of queer, transrely dressed, oddly behaved people, mos't of whom took upon themselves to be Important agents of the world's ties tiny, yet were simply bores of a very in tense water." Earnestness and absurdity strove for the prize as they have done, be It whispered, ever since in New .Eng land. The subdivisions of philosophy were legion; each sought to express ltseir In. life. The community of Brook farm was founded that men might hoe beans together in the beauty of the idea, but the idea, even about hoeing beans was not a unit; everybody had his own. When the abolition struggle came, grotesque noss find earnestness united under the nag of a great cause and sincerity gained the day. Whittier was the poet of anti-slavery. His muse had a limited range of expres sion, but a pure and true note. He had the religious fervor ot an old prophet, and the cause of the oppressed was the bone of his religion. He wrote stirring Tffar lyncs, Quaker though he was, and touching appeals to humanity. He was also the poet of all that is sane and stanch and good in New England coun try life. "Snow Bound" is our "Cotters Saturday Night." One can see in his poems how near to the household heart and conscience the slavery question came. It is this intimate association of pub lic and private right that makes the strength of a nation; in moments of pros perity we are too apt to let the tie re lax. But the book of the anti-slavery" ques tion was not a poem. The words that carried conviction round "the globe were not winged with meter; they were apt even chosen with any special literary care. It was the story of Uncle Tom that J. Pcntmorc Cooper. fired all hearts. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was literal truth, with a touch ot melo drama. It made the scenes of plantation life a vivid reality to readers of all languages, and though its literary im portance Inevitably waned with the turn ing of the wheel of events, it has kept the boards and Its hold on the affections. Mrs. Btowe was also the leader in a humbler and more literary cause. Her short stories of New England, village life were the first afield and started the minds of observant writers in that direction. A legacy beyond prose or poetry that the war times left us is the memory ot Abraham Lincoln. His speeches are part of the treasures of our literature. -His very witticisms ought to be, for, man ot action though he was, he had the insight, the poetic flash, the perception of the absurd and the profound in their vital relations which belong to creative genius. He stood for American thought in the stress and struggle of events as JCmerson. stood for It In its abstract and philosophi cal expression, and he had preeminently the quality which Emerson most lacked a sympathetic comprehension of actual erring, suffering humanity. The country was making historians as fast as it made history. Prescott, Ban croft, Motley and Parkman all belong to this epoch and add to its luster, but their works have to give place in a brief summary like the present to those of the poets and men of letters who are xnore in the line of the belles-lettres. Hawthorne at 46. "Were the Cambridge poets less patriotic or less American than Emerson or Whit tier? Did they go abroad for their sub jects or follow English models? Were they less bound up with their country's alms and struggles? Not at all: but they represented the element of culture, and it Is the mission and special good of culture to be cosmopolitan, to promote under standing and the commerce of literature. Longfellow and Lowell as successive oc cupants of the chair of belles-lettres at Harvard for a long array of years brought all that is best in foreign as well as English literature before the minds of American youth. They were in close touch with art and life abroad, and carried over cargoes of American liter ature in exchange. Longfellow was the most -amply endow ed of all our poets, the one who sang "to one clear harp In divers tones." His verse is always melodious, and the range of his meters is extraordinarily varied from the seldom-used hexameter of "EvangplJnc" and the swinging rhythm of "Hiawatha," both so well adapted to their new-world subjects, to the ballad, the son net, the lyric, even blank verse, though he seems to have cared less for that form. He failed in none of these; he was mas ter of each. His sonnets are very fine. His choice of subjects was also catholic; they are culled from mythology, art, eth ics, from the patriotic questions of his day, and from the traditional and actual life of his country. To read him Is like listening to a voice of fine resonance and compass which is sweestest in its lowest tones. It is In a certain number of ly rics which bring us Into what George "William Curtis has called "the twilight of the .mind, in which the little facts of life are saddened In view ot their relation to the eternal laws of lime and charge," that Longfellow Is In his best and most lovable mood. They have the tenderness tS&d grace, the combination of perfect JSfii simplicity and popularity With artistic expression which mark the lyric at Its best; lndeedj they are a successful trahs plantation of that flower of song to our soil. Lowell has something, too, of this grdfiS and charm, but hot ill the same perfec tion. His lyrics are less beautiful thah some of his longer poems, especially- "The Cathedral" and the "Comemoratlon Ode.1' His range is less wide thah tfiat of his predecessor lh the chair of belles-lettres at Harvard, but it Includes humor, a trait which Is missing in Longfelloww Hu mor, shrewdness and good sense went hand in hand with Vigorous versification In the composition of the "BlgloW Paj- SUNNYSIDR, IttVttfG'S pers." He was a prose writer besides be ing a poet, his essays standing like those of Matthew Arnold, In rank and Hie with his verse. He was a wit as well, and reconciled the world to his country by after-dinner speeches when he represent ed us at the Court of St. James. Since his death he has been shown to us as one of the most delightful of letter writers, and we have another pleasure in store in the complete biography which will ere long be given to the world. Lowell comes so near in many ways to Longfellow that he has slipped in, against the laws of precedence, between the older poet and Oliver "Wendell Holmes, the con temporary of Longfellow. But what fig ure can more flttlnglj' close a paper on the golden age of American literature than that of the poet who, starting al most with the first of the period, was almost its latest survivor, the member of the class of '29, which he celebrated on its anniversaries with a brilliancy, ver sification and wit such as no other college class that "keeps a poet" ever had In Its employ t Holmes was sul generis, with great gifts trimly cut, a kind of scientific precision in the realm of fancy, and a humorous way-of waiting to be dragged out by the occasion before he gave the rein to his muse. He was doctor and professor first, poet afterward and al ways. He wrote "Old Ironsides" and the "Ballad of the Boston Tea Party" in spir ited vein; he drew the charming portrait of "Dorothy Q."; he has a few serious poems like "The Last Leaf," "The Cham bered Nautilus," "Under the Violet," in which a very true feeling is expressed with great delicacy and self-restraint. And he punned and jested In capital verses, giving of the abundance of his mind, taking the public Into his confi dence without unbending for a moment In the reticence and dignity of his men tal attitude, making -it laugh as it had perhaps never laughed " at anything so fastidiously delicate in tone. In his essays he accomplished the reti cence of putting away his wit In favor of a sort of modern Addisonian humor of a delightful flavor. The autocrat was a little more approachable than the poet. To the last of his honored life he was unflagging In literary charm, and the thought how few years have passed since he entertained us "Over the Teacups" is a reminder that our golden age was only the day before yesterday.

Uncle Sam's PoKsension in the Group Particularly Rich in Resources. Success.

THIRTY tfEARS Iff ffORCI JL County iii IoiirA Adtiee4 i ifefe Primary Utffri PORTMNb, OotTT-tto the Mdttdr.) t hote the agitation lit your columns M the question df. nominating party candi dates for public offices by primary elec tion Instead df By the party caMfctiB sys1 tem, and, With 6thers, haVe been mtich interested in what has keen said. The primary election Is ribt faew dr un tried, ds some suppose. It was .adopted In Louisa County, Idwa; by the Republi cans, In 187i, and has been ih force there ever since, is ih force n8w, and has feiven HOUSE ON THE HtTBSOJf. such complete satisfaction that it is not probable it will ever be abandoned. The causes that led to its adoption are common all over the country The caucus had given a few men of the party com plete control of the party machinery, and these few put men up or put them; down at will, as the county was largely Re publican and a nomination equivalent to election. The remedy for the evil and Injustice wrought was found In the pri mary election plan. After It was adopted the men who had profited by the caucus tried to destroy It. They said the rank and file of the party would not attend the elections, but experience proved that they did attend, ten to one over the num ber who had met In the caucuses. Some times more votes were cast at the pri mary election than were afterwards ca-Jt by the party at the general election. The whole party turned out, In fact, because a nomination was about the same as an election. Anybody could be a candidate who wanted any office that was to be filled, and the rank and file could put up any neighbor they might see fit, without his asking for It. Usually the man sought the office, but sometimes the hunt was the other way. These candidates, some times as many as a half dozen for a sin gle office, would canvass vigorously among their friends and rally them to the polls, and this gave Interest and spirit to the campaign and brought the, voters out. The men who favored the old caucus said the primary election would engen der so much heat and friction among candidates during the contests for nom inations that the defeated aspirants would not support the nominees at the regular election, and that the party would be dis rupted. Exactly the reverse happened. "When the result of a primary was an nounced, every candidate felt that he had had a fair chance to win, and that if he had not won it was because he was not popular enough, or not sufficiently known, or known too well, or for some such reason, and his friends who had supported him felt the same way, and they had no complaint to make. On the contrary, all defeated candidates felt In honor bound to stand by the nominees, and they did. There have been but two or three bolts In the 30 years the system has been in vogue, and these came fom the men who had profited by the caucus system and who wanted to break down the primary election. The effect on the party has been all that could be desired. Louisa has made the best Republican record of any county in the state, and that is saying a great deal, considering the party history in that state. The primary bred harmony and strength, because it gave to every man who aspired to office an open opportunity to appeal directly to the entire body of the party, and to do his dead level best for himself, and If he did not win, nobody but himself was to blame. All county and township officers are nominated by the primary, Including the members of the Legislature. It does not extend to district and state officers, for the reason that other counties have iot adopted ft. The rules governing the primary were adopted by the convention which set It up, - but have been modified, somewhat, by experience. A committeeman Is cho sen in each precinct or township, at the primary, each year. These constitute the county central committee, with the chair man at the county seat, and to this com mittee returns of the elections are made, votes counted by them, and candidates declared, 10 days after the election. Con- tests are provided for. The committee man of each precinct, with two other members ot the party, chosen by him, constitute the election board. Republi cans pan vote only In their own township or precinct. Only those can vote who supported the ticket at the preceding election, except young men casting their first vote. These are allowed to vote on declaring their purpose to s'upport the ticket at the general election. A now resident in the township must be vouched for'by a known Republican. The plan has given great satisfaction, and none but good and competent men have ever been chosen to office. The ques tion of returning to the caucus system has been voted upon at the primary sev eral times, but in every instance It has been voted down by Increasing numbers. The people like the primary election bet ter and better every year. , I doubt the propriety of a state law to regulate the nomination of candidates to fill the public offices. Every man who holds the elective franchise has a right to run for office If he wants to, and every man who holds the franchise has the right to vote for any man of his choice, who is not legally disqualified, to fill any place In the gift of the people, and re strictions on these rights are of doubtful utility. They should, in fact, be carefully guarded against Our elections cannot be too open and free, so long as the ballot is kept In the hands- of those entitled by law to wield it, and candidacies and nomi nations should be equally free and acces sible. Nominations by parties are purely party matters, and should be left in the hands of the several parties, who should defray whatever of expense that may be Incurred. If primary elections are "eon ducted by a law of the state, the public will be asked to defray the expenses, In all probability, and this will put a bur den upon It that it ought not to be asked to bear. Let nominations be free and fair; let Individuals and parties be held morally responsible for what they do and are, and then let the fittest hold the of fices. LEVI W. MYERS. Killed His Son-in-tavF.

ASHLANDF0RES1 RESERVE BEtT&TEBfr SijOOO Aftt) 23,000 ACRES INCLUDED bii TRACT; Object to- P?efejrre Waifer Supply tit Oregrdn Ttiwn SHeei Gracing Should Be Prohibited. WASHINGTON Sept. &. A shdrl space Id tho annual report df the Geological Survey is devdted to the Ashland forest reserve, ih Southwestern" Oregon, lying about four miles south of the town or Ashland, in Jackson County. It contains between 22,000 and 23,000 acres. The object of this reserve is to maintain the stability df the waterheads and to preserve the volume and purity of Ashland Creek, which furnishes the water sUpply tb the town of Ashland. To qudte the report: "The reservr consists of SlsMyoU Peas:, or Ashland Butte, as the mountain is locally callefli and spurs radiating from it The peak Is an elevation rising from the crest of Sisklydn. Radge, arid attains a height df nearly 8000 feet above sea-level.- The actual peak rlBes about SX) feet above the general 'crest line of the range in this locality. "A large amoUnt of water drains out ot the reserve. Most df It flows into Rogue River through Applegate. Wagner and Ashland Creeks: Another and smaller portion finds its way inta Klamath River through various small Creeks od the southern slope df the peak. Ashland Creek heads directly on the northern slopes . of Siskiyou Peak. Bnow lies at Its head throughout the year. It empties Into Bear Creek one-half mile east ot the town of Ashland. In addition to sup plying water to this town, it furnishes irrigation for a number of fruit ranches' supplies motive power' to one saw mill and to one electric light plant located above the town, to one grist mill, one woolen mill, and a five-stamp quarts mill located lh the city, besides water for a cyanide reduction plant, and serves also In part as the town sewer. All In all, the stream Is Very important to the town, "The reserve contains no proper agri cultural lands; the summits of the low spurs In the eastern areas might possibly be Utilised for orchard tiiirhnKWR tr cleared. Most, If not the entire, area is gold-bearing quarts ledges occur In many places on the slopes of Siskiyou .feak and placer deposits exist, Jn all probabil ity, near the head of the creeks. No min ing la carried on inside the reserve area. The summit and slopes of Siskiyou Peak and the high northern Mount Wagner spur are grassy in many places. Sheep range here, or did the year before last (1897). True, most of their runs have been on the slopes shedding water into Applegate Creek. and Klamath River, but some had left their marks on the Ash land side. If the purity and stability ol the water volume In Ashland Creek Is worthy of consideration, the prohibition of sheep grazing within the reserve area should be absolute. A band of sheep confined to such a limited tract as the grazing area In the Ashland reserve soon makes the ground reek with the most pestiferous exhalations, which cartnot but find their way Into the running water. "The forest consists of stands of alpine hemlock, red flr and yellow pine types. The alpine hemlock, type occurs on the summit of the peak, and is composed al most wholly of noble flr. The others have the ordinary composlton of their respect ive types elsewhere. "Fires have marked most of the re serve, but have not burned in the reserve I within the last 10 or 12 years to any great extent, except on the summit of the ranire. at the base of the peak, where the timber on 300 or 400 acres has been almost totally destroyed "The mill timber in the reserve Is of good quality, except in the eastern por tion, where flres, years ago", badly seared the most of It. It is generally difficult of access for logging operations. But whether easy or difficult of access, it Js obvious that the maintenance of the Ash land Creek water volume Is prohibitive to lumbering operations in the reserve." Appended to the report are two tables, showing the distribution and quantity of timber on the reserve. Of the total area, 20,000 acres Is forested, 1700 acres natur ally nonforested, and 300 acres have been deforested by flres of modern date. Of the timber now standing, which Is estimated at 200,000,000 feet B. M., the red flr forms one-half, noble flr one-quarter, or about 50,000,000 feet, yellow pine, 30.000, 000 feet, sugar pine, 12,000,000 feet, white flr, 6,000,000 feet, and Incense cedar, 2,000, 000 feet OUR IMPENDING FATE. What Will Happen if McKlnley Rex I Is Elected. SELLWOOD, Or.,Oct. 5. (To the Ed itorsThose members of the W. C. T. U. who have been praying and trying to In duce others to pray for the defeat or McKlnley were doubtless asking for just what they most desired, tho election of Bryan. For even those mlsguldedpeople are not mad enough to think that the defeat of McKlnley could mean anything but the election of Bryan. But to ask God to perform a miracle to that end for nothing short of a miracle would do it Is so absurd, not to say Irreverent, that It Is hard to understand how any one with any Intelligence could be guilty of it. The W. C. T. U. Is an organization or good and Intelligent women who have ac complished great good in the way of tem perance work, and their prayers in the past have doubtless often "availed much." It would, therefore, be unjust to sup pose that any considerable number of them are silly enough to pray for the defeat of McKlnley. Tho reason given for this action Is that the President has not banished wine from the White House. If Bryan were elected that would probably be the first thins he would do. Of course his record on that point Is not well known, but his party has a record which It is not likely it would care to endanger by nominating a man whose temperance principles are uncertain. But It seems there is another reason for the defeat of McKlnley, which these good Bryan people did not realize at tho time they conceived the Idea of gaining the desired end by prayer. This reason Is set forth In a calamity contribution to the Telegram a week or two ago, writ ten by Mr. O'Day. It appears from what Mr. O'Day says that the President has not yet done any thing so very outrageous, but he wants to, and Is only waiting till his re-election Is assured, when he will begin to carry out his base designs against our liberties. It is expected that after he has sub jected the Philippines, and brought them under "the iron heel of oppression" com pared to which the tyranny of Spain would bo enjoyable he will turn his at tention to the United States. What he will do with Congress Is not yet predicted, but he will not allow that body to thwart his plan of Imperialism. He has determined to become Emperor of the United States and nothing short of defeat in November can avert such a calamity. It is a sad state of things to contem platethe downfall of the greatest Re public on earth. Republics have been looked upon as experiments and many of them have failed, and some of those which have not really failed are still not up to the Ideal standard. But this coun try was supopsed to have passed bo yond the experimental stage, .showing to the world that a Republic could endure and become a power among nations. For this great Nation to return to monarchy Is enough to cause the statue of -Liberty to rend her clothes.

All that Is necessary is to elect Bryan. Then all will be well. He will be content to be simply President. He Is not a warrior He even refused to make use of the Col onel's commission given him out of cour tesy, preferring to look for fame on the platform, the stump, or any other place rather than on the battlefield. He don't want war. Ho don't want to subject anybody. He wants peace and don't care how much It costs. So If elected he will Blmply be the "people's humble servant." He will give the Philippines all the lib erty they can make any use of. He will annihilate the trusts except the one In which Mr. Croker Is Interested. He will "restore silver" to the place It occupied before "the crime," and do many more things a President ought to do. And those temperance women who are praying for his election will be made happy, for the temperance movement will Immediately be given such an Impetus that, like Tom Twist, It will be "unable to stop." And thus Instead of going back on every prin ciple for which "our fathers fought" this country will go on In the way Its found ers Intended and shall become Indeed the Ideal Republic. CHAS. K.

He Informs his people that he cannot eat on account of this and he cannot sleep on account of that. His edicts rank with the best of comic litera ture. I copied, when there, some of. his dally confidences, says a writer in Har per's Weekly. "The defense of the country Is a mat ter of the utmost Importance. This is true at all times, hut especially so to day. Hence We by a previous edict placed Our Army and Navy under Our direct command." The fact that Corea had no navy was purely Incidental. The following was another: "The wel fare of Our people Is Our constant thought We realize that since last year's disturbance Our people have suffered greatly on account of lack of peace ana order. The dead suffer as much as the living, but Our government has not done anything to ameliorate existing condi tions.
