16 BOSTON EVENING TRANSCRIPT, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1904 Poston Cranstrint to cherishing an Illusion or one's pwn Is to help another to keep one bright and sweet. cause the people irArralljr Indorse the pro retire principle they everywhere are satisfied with all the schedules and details. There mar be a demand In sections of the country for readjustment of schedules, and to determine the existence of such demands and their extent is an operation that is absolutely a condition prerequisite to any project for tariff revision. Here In New Eng-land it is probable that, apart from the reciprocity acitatlon. what discontent there la with the tariff is concentrated on tho duty on hides.

In the West there la a feeling that revision should take the direction of cheapening manufactured products to the consumer, but even the extent of that opinion remains to be determined. To set at the realities, to resolve all the doubts In the matter, will require months of time, even If the President should invite llie present Congress to begin the investigation. KIDDER, PEADODY DO I Investment Securities Letters of Credit 115 DEVONSHIRE STREET more than succeeded in turning one's thoughts towards the literary past. Chaucer. Shakspeare.

Defoe, Fielding. Jane Austen. Thackeray and many other are easily obtainable In editions ranging from archaic leather to modern cloth, and it Is amid them that we can take refuge after an arduous tour through the works of contemporary authors. It is. of course, preferable above all tilings to read our classics In volumes whose page and covers have been softened and mellowed by age.

but since old books In their original garb are none too common, we must perforce be content with them as they come to us In modern style. Historians and biographers are also doing their best to All our library bookshelves, the history of our. own country being duplicated at the present time In at least a half-dozen new works ranging In length from one to twenty-four volumes. Great Britain and France, too. are brought before us through their general history, ns well as In the figures of their greatest men.

But the most conspicuous task to which specialists have set themselves Is the production of books about Russia. Japan, Korra and Important and Incidental nrcounts of events during the great Eastern struggle. Many of these have been of value, hut not few are tlie obvious product of writers eager to satisfy the demand for the latest sensation of the hour. All in ail. the literary signs of the times are by no mcana discouraging.

There are doubtless as many giants among us an there were In the olden days. George Meredith Is living, although he speaks but seldom; Swinburne has Just given another volume of his virile poetry to the world, and Thomas Hardy rests content upon his laurel in his secluded Wessex home. The great American pair, Howells and James, arc by no means through. Although we arc furred to satisfy ourselves with lesser names than these, we may always hope that every newly discovered author has In him the latent mrk of genius. For that reason.

If for none other, we need not be depressed by the prevalence of the amUtious author and by the multitude of his books. Rare Old Wines nine years long I have faithfully served for the Russian fleet. When the present Japan. Russian war was begun I was on board tho cruiser Rurick. thla being tho last year of my service.

1 believed It is my. duty for my country to be patient, even though my official work was decidedly hard for my old age. Principally I took care of those who were wounded and tried to lighten their suffering; I did not engage In actual fighting. But. now my health Is broken, chiefly from two causes, namely, the suffering during the buttle and the falling down Into the sea from the deck of Rurick.

I Implore, therefore, to your ezcellency, the chairman, to Inquire, on my behalf, if the Government of Japan would not relieve my Imprisonment and make me free. If my fervent desire were fulfilled. I could spend the rest of my life among my children and grandchildren, and be happy. His petition was promptly granted, and his letter, full of gratitude, is given as sent to Colonel Kono, the chairman of the committee. He left Japan on the S2d of October with the Russian medical corps, twenty-six In all, and twelve soldiers, whose serious wounds were successfully 1 cured.

On the occasion of their being transferred to the French consul, who looks after the Russian interests in Japan, the counsellor Aki-yama of the department of the army, spoke to them as follows: The Imperial Government regrets that the war has broken between Japan and Russia; at the same time the Government ha not a slightest hostility toward the people of Russia. Aa you all know, our Imperial Government lias treated you with the principle of love you who are a part of Russian army and fought against our country. Ye have appropriately treated you according to your official rank. When the quarters to receive prisoners were opened at Matsuyama. Marugame.

HimeJI, Fukuchiyama and others where climate is mild, we have particularly paid attention to give you suitable place to live and provisions to maintain your individual honor and health. And. except tho necessary military discipline we have tried to give you as much satisfaction as we could. At the same time wc have established a bureau for the communication of prisoners and have treated, as you well know, all the mall matters to and from you without any charge whatever. We have treated the men like you who came ia under our control after you have been wounded on the battle ground and lost your lighting power with especial care such us we bestow upon our own soldiers who were unfortunately wounded or became ill.

Indeed, the recovery from such dangerous wounds as you all have received is due to the zeal and skill of our medical corps, physicians of red cross society, army nurses, and voluntary nurses, who are superintended by Dr. Kiku-rlil. We are thankful for those who took good cure of you. and at the same time, we congratulate you for your good fortune to recover, etc. Speaking of things old and of the living, ever-vitalizing good they are to coming-on generations, for another old Boston thing of must precious associations and true service to the community and to the nation, take the old Atlantic Monthly.

Overshadowed and outshone though it may be (for the crowd) by the pictures and the Journalistic" sensations of its later born competitors, nevertheless Its glorious record can no more fade than the galaxy of writers who flashed in its pages fifty years ago can be dimmed by any successors. Happily enough, it is the poet-owned and edited Boston Pilot which bus given the truest and highest estimate of the Atlantics public service. It instances tlie first nationally influential appeal for true reunion In "the Mue and the gray" in the Atlantics pages; It recalls James Par-ton's arguments for reriiect and consideration for Catholic and Israelite, and it might have added his original and cogent appeal against alcoholism in the striking argument, Will the Coming Man Drink Wine? And. where." asks the Pilot, appeared the first of the now swarming stories of unattractive unimportance; where the first delicately sympathetic studies of rustic goodness; the first fmensely ugly American heroine; the first romances of heredity; the first novel of Southern life written with perfect indifference to the slave question; the first novel exhibiting the corrupt American politician: the first studies of gardens and birds? In the Atlantic, every one." Judging from the correspondence that has ensued, the Listener's suggestion that the poem of Professor Katharine Lee Bates, America the Beautiful." should lie adopted ns the national anthem, has found some backers. One correspondent, however.

charges plagiarism. But as he brings forward two hymns in which phrases occur like two in Miss Bates's verses. and the parallelisms occur only in detached phrases in each case, the charge is far from established. The main scheme and the body of the poem are unscathed. Meanwhile it appears that the musicians have already been at work offering candidates for the musical setting to send it on Its way to tlie American people.

From Portland. cornea the following: The Listener may be glad to know time the poem America by Professor Katherine Lee Bates of Wellesley College, was set to music several years ago by Mr. Silas G. Pratt and published In Famous Song and Those Who Made Them. Mr.

Pratt was born in Addison. Aug. 4, 1846. He studied music abroad and is the composer of several symphonies and the grand opera Zenobia. The Prodigal Son his second symphony, is well known, as Is Zenobia which was performed the largest number of consecutive times that any opera has been given In the 1'nited States.

Mr. Pratt had charge of Independence Day at tho Worlds Fair In 18H3, and directed a chorus of voice. In 114 he attended the Antwerp Exposition and gave a special American Day. His setting for Professor Bates's poem Is most attractive. Very truly yours, Ellen Ixicke.

But there were brave men before Agamemnon and there have been eminent and high-placed tariff reformers in the Republican party ere the attempt was made to make well enough alone" a party slogan.

The fifty distinct tariff measures lhl have been enartrd into law by the various Congresses since 17SC show the tariff revisionist to have been much in evidence in our commercial history, and the extent which his opinions have been hce.lol heretofore ought prove a useful hint to Mr. Hale and the other obstructionists a to the possibilities of his success In making the present tariff conformable to prr conditions.

There need be nn surprise if the short makes no conspicuous dc-tnrtnre from the traditional record. It is not the Congress elected on the Mh of Novemlwr. btit a left-over.

If there ran be found, for Inst tnrew a popular mandate nn the tariff given on the hth of November it will be with the members of the House chosen on that day.

The next Congress, therefore, is best fitted I deal with any question so complicated ax the revision of the tariff. The complications of the subject may be many. It is not a simple question in Itself considered only with regard to Its economic aspects, ami toRgre look at thing through the political medium. Already we bear a vehement prided from Senator Hale against any revision whatever. The senator' platform is that as the tariff Is It should be.

Speaker Cannon is substantially in accord with Mm. and voices the sentiment of the Western wing of the stand patters with which fieeretaiy 8huw seem to ha In sjamputhy. 8enatr Hale's argument which is essentially that of all on his side of the question, is that the late election waa an ezprewtlou of vpuljr contentment ar.d a wholesale apf rural of Re-publican policbs.

TllK LISTENER Now that we are sitting at the feet of the Japanese and learning of them, let take for another evening lesson their belief In their past. The most Innovating nation the world has ever seen a people who have effected a transformation of themselves (outwardly, only, be It noted) In a single generation without Its parallel In the history of nations, they yet recognise to the full the vital force and indispensable virtue of their racial and national traditions.

They may choose new clothe, new manners, new Implements of Industry, new weapon of war. nnd most wisely nnd deliberately select these from the most approved, after keen discrimination by experts. In place of those they cast off. Rut such changes are all In mere incidentals nnd Instrument. Their inner nature they maintain unchanged.

Their faith, their creed, their principles, all their religious and family ties remain unchanged. They reverence their aged as before. Instead of knocking them on the head ns Is virtually necessary in the operation of the dnrtrlne of the survival of the fittest applied to human affairs In modern life and even "Evolution" Is a rc-rrudescence of old teachings from the Oriental stories of ereatlon. The value of the past In the present Is brought home to us here In Boston amid the monuments of the Revolution and is recalled to us most rogently In the pious tribute quoted tlie other day In full, which a thoughtful young English visitor pays to the little old Massachusetts Hall In Harvard yard: "It stands." says Mr. R.

Harold Faget. a living ambassador from the 'Beyond1 where rest the builders and founders whose stern live and unflagging energies form the characteristic which stand today for the typical early American settler characteristics in whtrh the rare qualities of truth and straightness, strength and singleness, honest self-respect and sturdy humility, were combined In Just proportions. Could any structure In the world so perfectly reflect these qualities?" Now take the Japanese filial piety, ancestry worship and loyalty to the mikado as head of all could any new structure, moral or material, political or religious or social so perfectly reflect the qualities which made the Japanese a civilisation when Europe was a wilderness inhabited by savages, ns these forms and Ideas which have come down through them from their great past? They are the best for them because they reflect their character and that of their ancestry. lfow Inevitably they have done their work, how strong and sweet and fine that character Is, Is only revealed upon experience and demonstration and such new acquaintance with them as the war Is giving us. Here, for Instance, are some particulars literally translated from a Toklo newspaper by a Japanese resident In this country; a Russian paymaster.

Anlshlmoff, on board the cruiser Rurick. was rescued and made prisoner when the Rurick was sunk by the squadron of Admiral Kamlmura. After be waa taken to the prisoners quarters at Matsuyama, he sent the following letter to the chairman of committee or prisoners: Your excellency, the chairman of the committee of prisoners: am seventy yean of age. JTot forty R. tOR Elil'CATIXtl TMK AIHI.T II LI If Helen Keller's eloquent plea for the adult blind, last evening, will not fail on dear ears.

Miss Keller's views regarling the three classes of blind who need help arc quite sound, and It Is surprising that heretofore the State. In helping these unfortunate members of society, lias practically overlooked that great class of the blind who become so through accident or disease in adult life, the able-bodied, adult blind, who are willing to work and anxious to earn a livelihood, hut for whom no adequate provision has been made in existing institutions and woo therefore frequently become public charges because they lack the means and ways of getting started In trades and Industries. It has been amply demonstrated that the adult blind of almost every class are aide to earn their living if given a chance, and it is to obtain this chance for them that the new movement for the blind, headed by Kev. Edward Cummings and the Women's Educational and Industrial Union, has been organised and has entered upon its work so earnestly. The suggestions which this new Boston benevolent organisation has made for helping the adult Mind are eminently practical and senelMe.

It la proposed that the State should establish an agency for the employment of the Mind. Let the Perkins Institution and other schools educate the blind In useful employments, and the agency then bring the trained Mind in touch with the employers. There must he something more than nn Institution where the blind are educated to read and write and study hooks. There must le Industrial schools capable of teaching useful occupations to those who are able to work. This costs money, and the Stale must furnish It.

as It Is obviously to the Interest of the State to make its able-bodied citizens self-supporting. It is estimated that the value of an Intelligent, able-bodied man to the community is worth many times more than it will cost to make him intelligent and self-sustaining. If popular education is a means of increasing our material wealth and keeping people out of prisons and almshouses. It ought so much the more to be applied to those afflicted with blindness and thus forced to be dependent through no fault of their own. Thla is not a matter of interest to the Mind alone, it concerns every citizen of a community proud of its enlightened benevolence.

THE SEW ROUES While it would lie a mistake, of course, to assume that the tenUenrlea of Hie literary times are Indicated by the activity or publishers. by the Industry of authors, or by the enormous quantity of book turned nut from the presses at this period of the year, we may nevertheless gain some idea of tho drift of things through observation of Individual efforts. At the present moment, when the volume of newly puldished books Is even more overwhelming than In previous years, and while the oncoming of the Christmas season necessarily brings to the fore a rust number of works of distinctively ephemeral nature, we may lie able to look both haekward and forward with a certain amount of surety simply because the field of view i so expansive and unrestricted. It Is first of all apparent that the quantity of fiction has touched its high-water mark in the Immediately preceding years, and that while the amount of novel-writing is even now altogether In exress of the demand, the puMishers are coming to see that an excess of purely Imaginative literature defeats their commercial ends in the same degree that it degrades the creative art of the novelist. The difficulty of winnowing the wheat from the chaff Is becoming less anal less with the parsing of each successive year.

Distinguished names in contemporary literature are certain to reappear regularly on puMishers lists Anthony Hope. Rider Hagganl. Mark Twain. Hall CUIne. Marlon Crawford, and a few others who hold vary-iny rank In contemporary literature but it is not these names that now stand for fresh literary achievement.

For the notable novels of the present season, we do not look to any of these writers, but rather to the men who. practically unknown a few year ago. are now winning their way to fame through work which hears all possiMe evidence of sincerity and permanent value, it not by their names, hut by their work, that they are known. When such novels as "The Sea Wolf." "The t'ndercurreni." Nostrum. The Common Ist." "Brake of Covenden." and The Divine Fire are mentioned.

there are few or none of equa ink to be added. Such novels show not merely the art of the modern novelist. They exhibit more than all else his scope and variety, for they deal with practically every phase of human activity and social life. The list we have named Is mad up without the slightest national prejudice, and Is only for our present purpose. It I significant that for tho authorship of these novel three Americans, on Englishman.

one Englishwoman, mud on Foie to whom English I an acquired language, are responsible. Aside from these, we have had story "the Masquerader" that without any pretence to literary skill displays a command of technique and Imaginative power which proves that the art of storytelling Is by no means wholly Inst. It require no prophetic fervor to predict for its author. Katherine Cecil Thurston. raiddly Increasing distinction.

Of Juvenile fiction there Is. a usual, apparently no end. Its timeliness I as obvious as Its ephemeral nature, and the Industry of Its writers proves at least that they are satisfying a pubis- demand which Is wellnlgh insatiable. Turning from fiction to other classes of literature, we find what Is ieriuipa the nine I eatlsfarlory phase of the present literary eltualhm- If II he with many readere. as It was with Emerson, a cuMont read an old hook whenever a new honk apM-ara.

Rector of St. Luke's. Chelsea. All Interest ed in this work for women are Invited to 2t(S) 29 TIIE PARRY HOYEHEXT IX THE EAST Following out its plan to bring the organized war against unionism into the East, the dtiaens Industrial Association la holding Ita second annual convention thl week in New York city. ITesident Iarry, in his opening address yesterday, gave a highly optimistic report of the growth of the movement, and declared hi belief that within the year more than one thousand manufacturing establishments hud changed from the closed to tlie open shop.

It Is hard to get murh light on Just how any conflict really stsind until the parlies get through shouting "Victory!" Only a fortnight ago Mr. Gotnpers. at Ban Francisco, told us that tlie membership of uninna In the American Federation had Increased during the year by something like Rather oddly. It would probably be a good thing all round If both claims proved to be true. If more lhau one thousand concerns have abandoned the closed shop ar.d at the same time trade unions have gained lilt-nnn In membership, it would seem clear that tlie life of labor organisation dues not depend on iron-bound, exclusive preference contracts after all.

It is much better, on the whole, tlmt unionism sliouht be Increasing along with the progress of the open shop than that the success of the latter should bring with it a general breaking down of the unions fls well. Should this occur. It would be easy to point out that tlie cloeed simp waa absolutely necessary to the union cause, and the result might be either a desperate concentration of all organized labor strength on this one issue, nr else a turning of the movement Into more radical courses. imlltlral and socialistic. But In point of fact It Is likely to turn out that the labor movement will find itself on decidedly firmer and more prosperous basis when preference for union men no longer rests nn a speeles of compulsion but solely on proved excellence of workmanship and general reliability in its relation with employers.

Mr. Parry think that by this time, but for the movement lie represents, the closed-shop practice would have worked Itself well Into the Government service. Tlie sudden quietus to that attempt came In ITesident Roosevelt' action on the Miller case, and most of us will probably continue In the not km that that decision was the own. and not the reflection of any efforts or Influence brought to hear by employers nssociat ions. On the other hand.

Air. I'nrry show an advance over some earlier lines of argument in now basing hi main objections to tlie closed shop on its unfairness and productive wastefulness, instead of anything unlawful or criminal In the tefusal of union men to work In an open shop. Once let It be granted that a man may le compelled to work, or punished if he refuses, when the terms of employment are unsatisfactory to him for whatever reason, and there is not much left of th.it sacred cause of Individual freedom which tlie emplers associations, it sometimes seems, believe has been committed for the most part into their hands. Mr. Furry appears to appreciate this, and, while fearful of the future, does not ut pres nt propose anything more drastic ugainst union men who strike to force the discharge of non-unkmists.

than that employers should l-and together all the more firmly to defend "their own right to employ whom they please." That ought to lie a sufficient resource. There Is no need of dragging courts and legislatures Into this closed-shop issue, except where violence and Intimidation occur. It Is within the employers power to abolish tho closed shop If they themselves feel badly enough about it to stand together and Insist on employing anybody they choose or nobody at all. If they have succeeded In doing this to such on extent as Mr. Furry report for the past year, there would seem no special reason for getting excited about the future of American liberty, as employers view it.

Certainly, if time shall prove that the open shop does not mean any of the oppressive things the labor leaders predict, opposition to It will dwindle away for the very lack of popular sympathy with and even of labor interest In the old regime. And that particular way of disarming the foe rests with the employer themselves. Notes to SanLx Claus are taking the children's attention now. and if they cannot write them themselves they are so Insistent that someone shall put their wishes on paH-r that the easiest way fur Ihelr elders to write from their dictation without any remonstrance. Besides, It (lie very nicest thing to do.

The period when letters Santa Claus seem a valid and businesslike proceeding is altogether too short, anyway. and since it cornea but once in a life lime It 'a Just as well in make Ita Joy as deep as they may be. The next beat thing Tlie graynesa nnd bleakness of November are most emphasized In a gathering storm, and such a day as yesterday, when the cheerless sky seemed to envelop the earth in its heavy snow-fraught gloom, brings with it suddenly a realisation that winter is fairly upon us. And yet there is infinite beauty In the winter world. In the soft grays nnd hazy blue of distant tree-masses and hill ranges, that recede and are lost In the misty horison.

The trees wrap themselves in almost palpable mantles of gray haze and stand like patient sentinels awaiting the onslaught of the elements. Everything bespeaks meditation and patience on a gray, quiet day In late fall, of nature put to sleep and tucked In. of field and rivulet at rest beneath the firm pressure of frost and ire. of animation suspended until the seasons once more bring spring release.
