j Gloomy Sixty Years Ago. j
I-.-.--..-.-....--.......*
From the New York Evening Post.
"How do you suppose,” Henry Adams wrote his brother from London
In October, 1861, “we can shut people's eyes to the incompetence of Lin
coln or the disgusting behavior of many of our volunteers and soldiers.’
Charles Francis Adams, jr., replied from his Washington experience that
"the president is not equal to the crisis;" that "the secretary of war is
corrupt and the secretary of the navy is incompetent,” and that he wished
that the whole cabinet, except Seward, Chase and Blair, were driven from
office. Charles Francis Adams, sr., minister to England, wras meanwhile
sadly assuring nis family that he saw in his father, J. Q. Adams, "the only
picture of a full grown statesman thar the history of the United States has
yet produced.” Through such gloomy lenses did the Adams trio view the
leaders and prospects of the union. Nor was their opinion of our people
much more sanguine at times. “What a bloody set of fools they are!^ ex
claimed Henry Adams from our legation at the height of the Mason-blidell
uproar. "It’s pitiable to see such idiocy in a nation." It may all be read
in Worthington C. Ford's rich two-volume “Cycle of Adams Letters, 1861-5,
just published.
Throughout the war passages of the same pessimistic strain can easily
be found. Charles Francis Adams, jr., on picket duty in Virginia, read
“Bull Run” Russell's “Diary North and South” with fuil appreciation of its
caustic picture of scheming politicians, cowardly generals, selfish contrac
tors, vapid society people, and a noisy rabble. Russell had told the truth,
and a permanent truth. "How well that book stands time!” It was shame
ful and ludicrous: “all that humbug, cowardice, and incompetence,” wrote
Adams, “makes me weep and blush as one reads.” This sturdy soldier was
angry at his countrymen, from Hooker, the greatest fraud of the war, to
the nameless Pennsylvanians who charged a half dollar a loaf for bread for
the wounded troops after Gettysburg. In August, 1864, Charles Francis,
jr., wrote from among the Sharpies and vultures” in Washington that no
end of the war was in sight; "We must go floundering on indefinitely
through torrents of blood and unfathomable bankruptcy.” When he was
hopeful of victory, be was hopeless of a real peace. “People seem to me
as ugly and vindictive as possible. TKey really don't want peace unless
with it comes the hangman." Henry Adams was even less cheerful. Unless
sober men brought the country back to its true course, he declared in 1862,
it will “be carried on from war to war and debt to debt and one military |
leader to another,”
Much of the matter on international affairs is equally dispirited. France
was beyond rescue. Henry Adams was certain in 1861 that England “means
to make war.” He repeated the prediction throughout much of 1862. The
elder Adams believed in September, 1862, that whether or not war was
avoided, “alienation for half a century is the inevitable effect between the
two countris.” Henry Adams described the British government as “clumsy,
unmanageable, and short lived,” and added that the- British, in their hatred
of the system before the reform bill, “have rendered all systematic gov
ernment impossible.” Charles Francis Adams pointed to the key of British
politics as place, not principles, and spoke of the period as “one of a truce
between ideas.” For a time the privileged in Europe were triumphant, await
ing the o^ash of American democracy.
Was it all gloom? The Adamses were much too keen of perception for
that. The wrar is killing slavery, so Charles Francis Adams, jr.. rejoiced at
Port Royal in 1862: “I believe that from it will flow grea* blessings to Amer
ica and Caucasian race. I believe the area of freedom will by it be immensely
expanded in this country, and that from it true principles of trade and econ
omy will receive a prodigious impulse throughout the world.” Reading
Russell’s “Diary,” he reflected that the meanness it portrayed was only
upon the surface. “The enthusiasm, loyalty, and self sacrifice of those
days, the sudden upheaving against that which was wrong on the part of
a whole great people’;” lay beneath. Henry Adams wrote with emotion of
the magnificent response among the plain people of England to the magnifi
cent effort of the union, which within three months in 1863 “has placed all
our enemies on the defensive.” The war, the minister declared solemnly,
“is not simply for the good of America, but likewise for that of the civilized
world." The issue, he felt, was certain, and would shake Europe.
Perhaps there are a few today who see in our political leaders the in
competence that in dark moments the Adamses saw in Lincoln or the shal
lowness they found in Gladstone. They note the meanness described in
Repington's “Diary” withiut thinking of the heroism beneath. They look
forward to confusion, debt, and war, and, like Charles Francis Adams in
his darker moments, see international rancors stretching ahead in a vista of
a half century. A few brief years discredited the spleen of the Adamses
and brought to full fruition the greater part of their optimistic hopes.
Labor In East Africa.
From the Living Age.
The Bishop of Zanzibar has recently
Issued a pamphlet attacking the sys
tem of compulsory labor enforced by the
British in East Africa. This is the lat
est contribution to the controversy
which has engaged the attention of the
British public for some weeks. Com
pulsory labor is becoming a familiar
term in Europe with'the creation of the
so-called labor armies of Russia, the en
actment of a compulsory labor law in
Bulgaria, and the advocacy of a similar
statute in Germany. But the applica
tion of such a policy to a colony seems
likely to revive the features of' human
slavery. According to the provisions of
the act natives are only compelled to
do “work of a public nature” for the
good of the community. This has been
interpreted so broadly, for instance, as
to compel the natives to pack cloves
for private employers, since cloves pay
20 per cent, duty to the government.
A Woman Soldier.
By Associated Press.
A Polish woman soldier who took part
In driving back the bolshevists from
Warsaw, writing to a Polish newspaper
says she went 10 days without taking
off her clothes and that frequently the
members of her detachment went five
and six days without having oppor
tunity to take down their hair. During
one marCh, in keeping pace with the re
treating red forces, the women were on
the go 14 hours, 13 of which were with
out food or water. The letter says::
At 11 o’clock at night we were ordered
to be in readiness. Our detachment, all
women, had been ordered out for pa
trol duty. Our pack consists of a coat,
rifle, ammunition and other articles, in
all weighing CO pounds. After hours of
marching and when I felt that I couldn’t
go a step further we received orders to
return to our former post, several miles
away. I scarcely remember how I
scarcely remember how l reached our
destination, I was so tired. 1 dropped
onto a pile of straw and slept for an
hour.
When I was awakened I was informed
that my detachment had gon<* away
without me, to take part in a move
ment to surround"a force of bolshevists
hidden in a clump of woods. After six
miles of good roadway, I encountered
sand which made walking so difficult
that my feet pained me at every step.
I was covered with dust, and hadn't had
i a drink of water for hours. After walk
ing 15 miles I reached my comrades who
were resting under trees, in the shade
from a hot sun. A peasant boy brought
a bucket of plums, Lut we privates only
got a look at them, the plums all went
to the officers, who were women, too.
And then the march started again,
through a forest.
Now and then, as we advanced. I saw
some of the women faint, and 1 heard
others crying "mercy,” and 1 thought I
heard curses which must have come
from the men on our right. This march
has continued 14 hours. For 13 hours
we had neither food nor water. When
we reached a series of trenches, we
were promised something hot to eat. But
the food never came, and then the fight
ing began. Oh, how I longed for a drink

The New Learning.
From Philadelphia Public Ledger.
In a thoughtful article in the Weekly
Review Beverley Nichols writes of post
war Oxford, and finds his ancient uni
versity internationalized and democratic
and filled to overflowing. “The only
vital change which has taken place is
the advent of a real democracy. New
buildings are being erected solely to
accommodate working men. They will
receive all the advantages of the univer
sity, its social life as well as its scho
arship, at greatly reduced fees. They
will participate in the spoils, and they ,
will share to the full in the various po
litical, literary and scientific societies in

that I, a woman, was a soldier’ of Po

History Repeats Itself.
The republican majority in congress Is
large, but not at all unprecedented. It
is simply one of the things that hap
pen occasionally. They mark the tem
porary defeat of one party, but not any
thing like the extinction of the other
party. In the lower house of the next
congress the democrats will have from
125 to 130 seats. In the lower house
of the Fifty-second congress, 1891-3
there were 236 democrats and 88 re
publicans. In the next congress, 1893-5,
there were 220 democrats and 126 re
publicans. Then the republicans “came
back.” During 1895-7 “the House num
bered 216 republicans and 104 democrats.
In the first two cases the Senate was
strongly democratic. In the third case
it became republican. As a result of the
recent election, congress, now in re
publican control, will become still more
strongly republican next year. It’s all
part of our political “ups and downs.”
History is repeating itself and will
doubtless do so again.
St. Lawrence Waterway.
From the New 'York Post.
Governor-Elect Miller, of New York, is
vigorously opposed to the Great Lakes
St. Lawrence waterway. Herbert Hoov
er supports the project unqualifiedly. No
one knows more about the marketing
of wheat than Hoover, and he has as
sured the international Joint commission
that the waterway would enable farmers
to save 10 cents a bushel cm grain mar
la ted in Europe. At that figure the pro
ject would give American agriculture
from $15,000,000 to $25,000,000 additional
on every wheat crop. Mr. Hoover, like
Mr. Barnes and Secretary Redfleld, has
no sympathy with the argument that the
waterway may injure the commerce of
New York. New York’s prosperity is
dependent upon the prosperity Qf the
great interior. Every one knows that in
100 ways American business and in
dustry are being injured by the in inade
quacy of our transportation facilities.
We cannot build houses because of
transportation tie-ups; we cannot get
fuel jbecause of freight congestion; we
cannot distribute foodstuffs and manu
factured goods as we should. If ocean
steamers could load beef direct at Chi
cago, steel plates at Cleveland, and
wheat at Duluth, and could bring Im
ports to the very heart of the country,
the enormous terminal expenses In con
gested Atlantic ports from Montreal to
Baltimore could be eliminated.

Historical Champagne Cooler.
From the New York Herald.
A Senate champagne cooler sold for $1
when a wonderful collection of objects
of art and utility was cleared out of
one of the cloak rooms of the "finest
club in tho world." If the collector who
for so modest a price secured this inter
esting relic of a day that is gone bo a
philosopher, as a competent collector
must be, he will draw out of his treasure
more cause tor pleasure than ever went
into it. Hawthorne found material for
one of his sweetest essays lnthe black
bound and heavy volumes of sermons,
no less dry and dusty than this cooler,
he discovered in the attic of the manse
at Concord. Had bo for Inspiration the -
Senate champagne cooler, battered and
worn from long service, a veteran it took
a constitutional amendment Lu separate
frem tho federal job- ho would have
written not one but countless essays;
moral, political, biographical, ethical,
sumptuary, social—topics bubble forth
endlessly.
Who ordered the sergeant-at-arms to
purchase out of the Senate contingent
fund that champagne cooler? When,
why? To what account was It charged
—soap, whisk brooms, rugs, carbonated
water, hat racks? At whose orders was
it Hist filled with cracked Ice into whoso
yielding depths was fondly thrust a bot
tle of champagne? Was there, in that
ancient time, a New York senator who
referred to the bottle as “real wine?"
For what occasion was the wire cut to
release the Jealous cork penning 1,000,000
bubbles eager, the playful sprites, to
tickle the noses of grave but thirsty
lawmakers? Was it to rejoice over vic
tory in debate or to console a van
quished orator? What will replace the
discarded treasure? Perchance a silver
fruit basket, a pretty bonbonniere, an
ormimented tea set, or a flagon for
crusty, old Potomac water.
Romance the Evanescent.
From the Milwaukee Journal.
A wealthy woman, just escaping from
her second experiment with marriage,
declared the other day that marriage is
a failure because it destroys romance.
She couldn’t be bothered looking alter a
man’s socks, she said; life was meant
for something bigger.*
Romance—sighs and banjos by moon
light, knights riding around looking for
someone to unhorse as a proof of devo
tion, the night life of a great city—
whatever may be understood by those
who use the word, they generally mean
much excitement and very little dish
washing and lawn mowing. And mar
riage has to have time for those deadly
practical things. Yet people who have
foresw’orn all else and gone to seek ro
mance often come back bored and tire
some.
For romance, we suspect, doesn't come
from outside. We tfilk about romantic
places because people have found ro
mantic adventures there. Theodore
Roosevelt plunged into an unexplored
region of South America and met thrill
ing adventure. But long before that
Theodore Roosevelt had discovered ro
mance on a western ranch where most
men find only the hard work of farm
hands. Ten thousand English clerks
have lived in India and found it de idly
hot and dull for one Kipling who discov
ered its romance. Stevenson's most ro
mantic tales were written before he
went to live In the south seas.
The lady who has given tip marriage
for the sake of romance will, we fear,
find that it still eludes her if she ex
pects that it will be served up like
caviar at her bidding and for a price.
And some little dark haired woman on
New York’s east side will find even
marriage as romantic as a story.
On Keeping a Goat,
From the Chicago News.
Now and again the goat butts into pub
lic attention as the benefactor of man
kind, only to disappear after a few en
comiums from the doctors and the food
experts. Whether our methods of quan
tity production and centralization, our
Incompatibility of temper with the goat,
our general habituation to the cow and
cow’s milk, are the reasons Is not clear.
At any rate, the goat finds small place
In American society.
Those who have seen goats domlc'led
In the crowded alleys of Europe, stabled
comfortably In anything from a dry
goods box to the spare bedroom, know
that the goat Is hardy and long suffer
ing, and two quarts of goat's milk a day
?lve health and vigor to many a poor
amilyT .
Though dwellers In flat buildings might
encounter difficulties In raising goats,
others who have no facilities to finance
and operate a cow might easily under
take goat culture. The goat Is nontu
be rcular and safe and the milk excels as
food. The cream Is emulsified and does
not rise to the top. The expense of
keeping a goat Is titfling. In some cir
cumstances the benefits are largfe.

low passenger: "How much Is this train
overdue?”
"Well, sir,’ was the reply, “a watch
Is no good; you want a calendar.”
