DEC. 22, 1B97. LOCATE LITERARY NEWS. EDITORIAL The following Just and Intelligent criticism of McKtnlcy's message Is from tlio pen of Francla Bellamy, edi tor of the Illustrated American, oJ New Yerk: Some slgiis of real progress appear In the President's message. The people hud awaited It with a deeper Interest than Is ordinarily aroUsced by the atinual messages of our presidents. At a most critical period of national transition and un certainty It was expected to contain a few keynotes for a clearer future. When it came It brought to tin country both reassurance and dlwip polntment. The first burst of opinions upon It being past, the country can now re gard its salient features in a calm per spective. For one tiling, It confirms the peo plo In their opinion of President Mc kinley as a man whose theory Is thai the executive ought to bo a modest follower of what he believes Is Un popular opinion of his party rathci than an oracle to lead It. Mr. Cleve land represented the former Idea. Mr McKinley, both by nature and bj long training in congress Is a presi dent not likely to try extensively to captain either the national7 legisla ture of his party. Ncverless, where his deeper moral convictions arc, there he speaks with unquestionable clearness. The approval of the Idea of Inter national arbitration will strike a kin dred chord In many a distant land. It Is l lie first Instnncc in hlstorj where the head of a mighty empire has proclaimed In so high an official address Ills, and a people's, aspiration for the practical application of a prin clple, hitherto regarded as the cVcain of a poet. This is a great gain, a far stride forward, almost a leap intothcllght. Another point of equally high note in tills message is its rcalllrmatlon of allegiance to civil t-ervlco reform. This may be fairly deemed a direct thrust at the bosslsm that has dis graced American politics In the last thirty years. That the spoilsmen so take It is clear from the attack Insantly made on this section of the messago by Gen eral Grosvenor, a Republican repre sentative from Ohio, which called forth a ringing rebuke from Repub lican Renresentutlvo Johnson from Indiana, and a scarcastic compliment from Bailey of Texas, the Democratic leader. Another note of progress, though not so distinctly sounded, is found in the President's suggestion of the possible necessity for MioUnltedBtatcs as-a creditor, to buy in and operate the Kansas Pacific Railroad. Willie the president does not de clare himself In favor of government ownership and operation of railways, It Is uot (liniuultto read between the lines that such may be his desire. There are, It must be regretfully admitted, sorjom omissions In this documeut. The dangers of foreign Immigration are glossed over In a too ready op timism of temperament. The estab lishment of postal saving-banks par ticularly recommended by Secretary Oago asau encouragement for the small savings of thc5peop!o rccelvo no Indorsement from tho President. nut, on the contray, ho commits himself to an extraordinary policy that would Increase the powers and lessen the responsibilities of tho na tional banks. And In relation to Cub.t a slrango blindness seems to tinko lilm unable tq comprehend that the two years' desperato struggle of that bravo pop ulation has not yet attained to tho "awful dlgnitjLJjf war." The plain peoplo of the United States aro very conservative, but they aro vastly Irri tated by what Is beginning to look Ilka u pusillanimous fear of the pos sibility of Spanish veiigcauco upon us. Nevertheless, In considering a docu ment whoso composltiau must have becn.ync of tho most difficult tasks oyer liiiposed unojl a president, tho country should be thankful that so many signs of progress can ho found In tills momentous state paper. At the samo time would there were niorol Tho Jlliiatruted Amer ican. Fiona thtK,iret, , "I suffomS'wltlf headaches nud In tense attaetfs of neuralgia, utui became very feeble.

The author of "Ben-IIur: a Tale o tho Christ," has Jmt published through tlm Harpers, ' The Wooing o Malkatoon:Commodus," a poem am a play, Tho triumph of Islam Christianity overthrown by Moharu nicdanlsm; the cross displaced by tin crescent; Mil Is tho theme of tin poem. "Tho Wooing of Malkatoon ' It Is to bo read and tn bejudged sold as a work of literary art, without the taint of didactic purpose. s. timr CIS. LtXT WAUACC The author divests himself of all Occidental prejudice In order to at tain the heart of tho Eastern faith The heroic Othman (Osman) whom A'lah chose, fr his strengtli and genius and beauty, to be the first great leader of trw Osmanll pnd founder of the Ottoman Empire, be comes the object of the poet's affec tionate regard. Ho Is "our" Othman, tho enemy of "our" enemies, the Christians. And even a stubborn reader shares the poet's sympathy as he traces the beglunlngof Othman's ovo for Malkatoon; the year of trial in which his wild nature go', Its dis cipline from eagles and lion; bis sub jection of the tribe thatbupplled the tirst Osmanll warriors; his victory over tho Christian lord of Eskischccr; the splendid vision In which the Mo hammedan Empire was promised to him. In other words, the sympathy and the Imagination of an American writer havo achieved an epic of In laailsm, an absolute novelty in Eng lish literature. And It would seem that the present wide spread mlstrus t and hatred of the Turk should make the publication of this appreciation of the Turkish Ideal almost a sensa tional event. Tho play, "Commodus" 'filling the cccond half of this volume, celebrates the courage of an outlawed chieftain named Maternus, who, when tho Roman Emperor Commodius had sent hlo legions so that "an army closed upon them from tho north, another from the south, another from the cast and from the west one," conceived a gigantic enterprise, in which the means were as audacious as the pur poses. Ills followers were to make their way, In "twos and singly,, from thoDanube to the Tiber to rendezvous and first to recognize each other at tho gates of Rome. "By way of answer ar.d reprisal to an edict which consigned him to persecution and death, Maternus crossed the Alps In quest of Its authsr, sought him In tho Inner recesses of his palace and there would have lodged a dagger In Ills heart but for the treachery of his lieutenant." AMONG THE MAGAZINES. Mr. John Mulr, whoso name Is a synonym for tho accurate and sympa thetic observation of naturo, has pre pared for tho Atlantic Monthly a churactc-rUtlo series of papers upon 'The Parks and Reservations of the United btates Government."

There Is going to be a great fight in the next city election between the boys who have dogs and the man who catches them and kills them. The boys and girls of Salem don't like the way It Is done and are going to make It a political issue If they can do so. The dog calchers have been quite husvoflate. Those not claimed are killed at the pound in oulte a bloody and fearful manner. The carcasses arc put In a box and hauled across the ilvcr and burled on the west bank of the river, light opposite the residence of the mayor of West Salem. This is an Improymcnt on throwing them of the bridge. Four dogs are now lying in the water in plain sight, in a little bayo u Some are buried under the bank but will be washed out the first flood. The dogs are put into pickle below the Salem water works crib, but tho peo ple who ue river water below Salem will not find It Improved by an In fusion of dog. A man who works near the pound says the dogs arc kept imprisoned on a plank floor, that is all wet and mnddy, and that they are not regularly and decently fed. Now tho P, J, Is a friend of dogs. The boy who lias not a good dog is not In It. A SENSIBLE DOO. A lady on her way to Eastern Ore gon was taking her dog with her. The dog got footsore and she used axle grease toj cure them, and so every night after ttiat until tho last out; she thought she would not need to grease them any that night, but when she was getting ready for bed, Rex, for that was the dog's name came up and commenced to whine. The said, Rex, what do you and he put up his front feet and then she got the grease and Rex layed on his back and held up his leet to be greased. Clarence Mason. Salem, December 22. a hear hunt. Out In tho Waldo Hills, not over a mile from Clymur, on papa's farm, one early morning, pa heard a great rumpus by the dugs barking at some thing close to tho chicken house. Ho ran down there and looking up In a trco saw a dark creature which lie thought was a bear or a coon. He came running to the house and said, "get the gun, pistol, ax or anything; there's u bear up a tree." Mother took the ax and undertook to run, fell dowu and lost her spectacles "He's thp varmint that has been kill ing my chickens," she said.
