HOMA8 HOOD'S poem, The
Dream of Eugene Aram, ia one
of the greateat poems In the Eng
lish language of Its character.
It la entirely too long to be pre
sented here, but the vereoa used are
among the moat atrlking and tend te
show Us graphlo style, and particularly
refer to the crime depicted. The poem
first appeared in an annual called The
a em, of which, in the year 18,
r
he composed ' a short poem in defense
Of eulolde, and opened a vein In his
arm, , but waa discovered before life
war extinct, and the aentenoe of the
law was duly carried out. ;
-. The case excited e good deal of at
tention throughout England. Numer
ous allusiona to it may be found In con-1
temporary literature, end besides
melodrama by W, O. Wnila, it supplied
the subjects of a romance by Bui war
ana tne-Doom by Hood.
. Bulwer represents the hero as a high-
minded student, who Joins Houseman in
ths murder of Clarke only that he may
obtain money to prosecute hie own lofty I
spaoulatlone Id virtue. Clarke le the as
sumed nam of Goeffrey Lester, and af
ter the murder Aram unwittingly takes
up his abode next door te the brother
and aon of his vlotlm, and commits the
further imprudence of falling la love
witn tne latters niece, Madeline Xyster.
The son of the murdered man con-1
oelvea an unaccountable . loathing for I
thla mysterious stranger, which la In
creased by dlscoverlhg .that hla counaln J
MBueuns, v wnom ne passionately tovea,
no less ardsntly loves Eugene. Young
Lester grows moody, and to distract bla
mind, commenoee an Inquiry after his I
father, who was generally supposed tel
nave died in the East indies. At laat.1
to hla utter astonishment, an accident
rsvaaia tne irutn. He hastens to bis
uncle's and seises the murderer when
dressed to lead hla bride to the altar.
At the trial Eugene -makes a brilliant
plea In his own defense, but is con
victed, and eubaequently makes a full
oonfeaslon, opens hie velna in a slovenly I
way, is borne oreatmng to tne gaiiosre.
and expires while the Hangman la fitting
tne noose.
' Bulwers story haa been imitated by I
tna Russian Dostovlosky In ma novel,
"Crime, and Punishment." where ra
young atudent kills s miserable old hag I
with the Intention of using her money
for praiseworthy objects. "George de
Barnwell," the ' best " of Thackeray'a
"Prise Novels," Is an exceedingly clever
burlesque- of Bulwer, at whose romances I
of crime he had already had a fling in
tne -awryor catnenne.

but labor and wages is Involved? The
roadbed of the railroad, the rails, thi
rolling stock, the motive power, the coal

1.60 to I2.B0 per day and the same ser
vice is to ba had in Spain for 18 cents
to tl, than tha protection is In the same
ratio as tne labor. The average rate
for orchard labor In the states of the
Paoiflc coast is probably at least $1.60
day. The average wage in Soaln is
about S5 centa. Transportation from
the Peclflc statea to eastern markets
costs about one cent per pound, $1 per
