Mr. Wntson Ik evidently not pleased
with the court** of affalra In the
Pen."- mile party, and not willing to
full in line with the new order of
thlnge; In fact, ao far aa we know, he
rtld not fall In Una In 1100, after the
Populist party practically dlabanded,
n h other Populists In Georgia did. He
Kept quiet, and waa In poeltlon thla
y»nr to get on board, or not, aa It
pleased him to do. If there waa
remotest hope of hta accomplishing
anything In a canvass thla year for the

JohnCt^urroughH. who !“ p* r hapa our
noet learned student of the habits of
mttvf ^tlrds and animals, has more to
»ay In the August Century In criticism
tho wrltera of "nature" Action who
tribute preternatural wisdom to the
four-footed brethren. He contends con
vincingly, that animals have no reason
but only keen Instinct, and cites exnm-
ts to show how stupid msny. beasts
?, as, for Instance the following story
a cow told by that scholarly and ar
tistic writer. Philip Gilbert IJammer-
ton:
The cow would not "give down" her
Ilk unless she had her calf before her.
it her calf had died, so the herdsman
3k the skin of (ho calf, stuffed it with
hay, and stood It op before th* Inconsol
able mother. Instantly she proceeded to
Jck It and to jdeld her milk; One day. in
Irking ft. she ripped open the scams, and
nt rolled tho hay. .This the raothor at
proceeded to eat, without any look
rprlsc or alarm. She liked hay h«*r-
iHf. her acquaintance with It was of long
ding, and what more natural to
. . than that her calf ehould turn out to
»>* mode of hay! Yet this vcjy cow that
did not know her calf from atom of hay
would defend her calf against the attack
of a bear or u wolf In the most skillful
nnd heroic manner.
doubt If even a cow Is often so
foolish as this story would indicate.
Mr. Bourroughs Is perhaps overdoing
, and there Is room for the suspicion
that he Is unconsciously spurred on by
knowledge that the "nature" fiction
he Justly, criticises Is far more in de
mand than hie own more scholarly and
urate essays. But ho Is furnishing a
wholesome corrective' of the'teachings
of those enthusiasts whose animal
characters show keener perceptions and
]mor« highly developed reasoning pow
ers than are possessed by the overage
college graduate of the twentieth cen
tury.
"Forty years after the civil war,'
•ays the Philadelphia Record, "tha race
problem Is more serious than It wn
at the beginning. The problem Is not
political; Ita political feature hot been
solved wherever the numbers of the
colored people raised It to Importance.
It Is not social In the more restricted
sense, for the negroes themselves
hardly be said to have raised that
Issue. It Is a problem of the protection
of person and property from a growing
criminal class." Would that the Rec
ord were entirely right In this conclu
sion, for In that case the "problem"
would he much more simple than many
are able to believe.

President Loubct of France lacks the
artistic sense. He invites set'ere criti
