MOUNT HERCULES.—Some time ago there was published in answer to a ques- | tion, upen the authority of Captain J. A. | Lawson, a statement to the effect that { Mount Hercules in New Guinea was 32,786 feet high. Another zorrespondent, R. C. S., of Palo Alto, who ook exception to the siatement of Captain Lawson, has Jm.n.r}n a search on nis cwn account with the following resuit: “Regarding Mount | Hercules, named as the highest mountain in the world,” writes the correspondent, “Benjamin E. Smith, editor of the Cen- tury Atlas, writes: ‘The statement with regard to Mount Hercules in New Guinea is certainly an error. The highest point | on the island Is not far from 17,000 feet, ac- cording to the latest explorations.” George C. Hurlburt, librarlan of the American Georraphical Soclety i New York, writes: ‘Captain J. A. Lawsox is the sole author- ity for the existence of the mythical Mount Hercules. Captain John Moresby, R.

INCE the inauguration of President McKinley the Bryan press has seen visions and dreamed dreams. It kas published obituaries of the republic and indulged in epitaphy to dead Liberty, all because of the presence of the army and navy in the inaugural proces- sion. It is alleged that the military feature not only dominated this, but exceeded any other in- auguration. No one has ventured to say that the President ordered all these armed men out, with empty guns, for the purpose of peppering Congress and the Supreme Court and declaring himself dictator and sole branch of the government, but hardly more fuss could be made if he had. It is not even hinted that he felt the presence of the military necessary to protect him against the outraged people whose freedom was taken from them, making them bloodthirsty in their desperation. We are willing to take these scarcd critics into our confidence far enough to whisper to them the reason why the thin-skinned militia officer acquired blisters in the saddle and the seasoned regular cursed his Iuck twice the length of Pennsylvania avenue. It was because the inauguration is the great American show, and uniforms, especially militia uniforms, look well in a spectacle. In all inaugurations for many years the military has been a prominent feature, and yet the Goddess of Liberty on the dome of the Capitol glories under her coat of verdigris and gazes eastward whence cometh the sunrise, just as unruffled as when Jeff Davis had her hoisted up there with an eagle roosting on her head. During and after the war of 1812 the same kind of critics wept around the deathbed of Lib- erty, and wore the badge of mourning for the time usually taken by politicians whose only stock in trade consists in impugning the motives of those who are responsible for the government, and in vaunting their own vestal intentions. : When Jackson was President there was no war, but he had been a soldier, had taken Jarge responsibilities and been abused as are all men who have that initiative which is the final strength of states. Liberty died again, poor lady, in his first administration and stayed dead through his eight years. And she was very deceased, too, judging by the political literature of that day. 'She died intestate, left no will, and the Whigs applied for control of the estate, just as the Public Ad- ministrator does for that of an intestate who puts off making a will until after the final interview with the undertaker. Jackson was pictured as an Emperor, Andrew I, enthroned as gorgeously as Shah Jehan, and looking as savage as a meat-ax. The country had a short breathing spell, and Liberty lifted up her renowned head until the Mexican War, when she had another spell of dying, and the Whig politicians, including Abraham Lincoln himself, not only despaired of the republic, but of a decent empire that would be taken into good society. The political literature of that period reads like the lamentations of Jeremiah. The death of Liberty in 1812, 1832 and 1848 occurred under Democratic administration, and the mourners went about the streets on the Federal and Whig platforms, and making dust their paper with rainy eyes wrote sorrow on the bosom of the earth, as Shakespeare said about the pessimists of his day. Having three times destroyed the republic and laid the pink toes of Liberty up to the daisies, the Democrats got their fling in the Civil War. From the 15th of April, 1861, to the day of his death Lincoln was accused of the death of Liberty. AH kinds of testimony were offered against him. Liberty was dead, and he was last seen going down the road in her company. The republic had disappeared and who but he could have abducted it? Every move that he made was looked upon as the device of a suspect. It must be admitted that this ceaseless accusation had its effect on his own party. Murat Halstead desired to have his brains knocked out, and Ben Wade and Henry Winter Davis, Sena- tors of the United States, fuminated against him in their celebrated manifesto, which led to the Cleveland convention and the nomination of Fremont as a Republican candidate for the Presi- dency, with the avowed'purpose of defeating Lincoln, The country was informed that the army would never disband—that it would be retained as a permanent mercenary force to keep Lincoln in the Presidency for life. The Democrats more ‘than played the return game with their enemy in mortuary and imperial politics. History was marched around until she was footsore, and the Praetorian Guard, the Janizaries and the Mame- lukes, the Swiss Guards and the Hessians, were marched out ic a longer procession than the Cru- saders made when they went against the Saracen. : But Liberty revived in time to be killed again by McKinley, and the republic reappeared ap- parently on purpose to pass away again March 4, 1901. We may take comfort in reflecting that both will be in the hands of the undertaker again in the year 2001, and the same kind of mourners will be going sbout the same kind of streets shed- ding the same kind of tears and making the same kind of a noise. Publication Office » THE BUFFALO EXPOSITION. » UBLIC attention has been already directed by The Call to the fact that notice has Leen sent out that all California exhibits intended for display at the Pan-American Exposi- tion at Buffalo must be at the ferry building in this city by next Friday. The exposition is to be opened on May 1, and as it is desirable that the California exhibit shall be complete in every respect on the opening day, there is no time to spare. It can hardly be necessary at this late day to remind the people of California of the importance of the enterprise. Reports from the East are to the effect that the exposition will be not so much for spectacular display and public education and entertainment as for the purpose of promoting business. While the aim of the enterprise is primarily to augment trade between the various countries of this hemisphere, it is recognized that 2 great deal will be done to increase trade between the States of the Union. Our great market is the home market, and whatever we have that is likely to find customers within the United States ought to be among our exhibits. The opening of the fair coincides with the inauguraticn by the transcontinental railrcads of a policy of promoting the immigration of home-seekers to the Pacific Coast. Cheap rates. are to be given to such excursionists from the East to California. That in itself will be an inducement for many persons to visit the State, and if to it be added a comprehensive and well-displayed ex- hibit of California products at Buffalo, the number of people and the amount of capital a'ttra»:ted to the State during the summer and the fall ought to be very large. It is to be hoped the notices sent out will have the effect of so stimulating shipments of exhibits as to enable those in charge to have California’s exhibit in place and in good order on the opening day. It is safe to say that many States and many private exhibitors will be unpre- pared on that day, and consequently we can make a strong and deep impression at the start by being ready at the word go. a5 THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL. HERE is some rejoicing in the country because Senator Carter talked the river and harbor bill to dé.ath. The garland.s that adorn Carter are contributed by those who oppose the bill and the immense ?ppropnation w!lich it carries. But these people have more ‘bouquets than logic. Senator Carter did not lay the bill in a grave dug by oratory because it appropriated too much money, l_)ut beca'use it did not appropriate more. His project for expenditure of Federal funds was not in the bill, thgrefor_e he slew it, and it died and is dead. There died with it all the appropriations for Pacnflc Coast harbors, most of them sorely needed, and for rivers which serve to regulat.é _transpor.tagxon_for i .lalfge majority of our Western people. Senator Carter wanted several millions for irrigation, with several millions multiplied in future bills. As far as concerns irrigation, the‘arid West is deliberately destroying a resource that could accomplish more than direct appropriauoqs. If the stock ranges, which are now being destroyed, were leased and preserved, their rental would immediately produce ten millions a year, and that is more than Senator Carter will get per year in the river and harbor bill during this century and the next. That money devoted to irrigation in the States and Territories where it is derived will start irrigation and keep it going without appealing to the Federal treasury for a dollar. .Such. a policy would save our river and harpor improvements. It would save the stock ranges and it would also economize Senator Carter’s costly breath, Eastel:n socie_ty l"ldtes announce that the popular game of the smart set this summer is to be “squash tennis,” which is described as an American form of the old English game of racquet, and a half-brother to handball. It is said to be already in high favor in New York and Philadelphia, and is expected to rule the roost at Newport. Gane ——e THE DEPTHS AND HEIGHTS OF - _ MAURICE MAETERLINCK IN HIS LATEST DRAMATIC WORK. BY L. DU PONT SYLE. -+ =i ko ine N his most recent play, “Aglava and 'Se';‘yset!e." M. Maurice Maeter- linck has some fine tragic passfl(e:‘. interspersed with others absur v | encugh to have been written by ‘.\hr;a; Corelli or Mrs. Browning. The scene, 07 is the inevitable Maeterlinck tle, with the ruined tower ar;d ;h;:!:;':: cter. This much premised, L"fix?’{. e Tar the_ Introduction of n; heroine’s hair and are not dlsappolnyel- here it comes, described by the hero early in the first act: “As she Is happy or sad, so does her hair smile or weep, and this even at times when she hersalf scarcely knows whether she should be happy or whether she | should be sad. * * * I have mever seen hair so full of life. * * * It would be constantly betraying her, if betrayal i(: could be to reveal a beauty one fain would hide; for that is all she ever has to hide. PR This, it seems to me, is really the banner figure of decadentism: “Hair that can smile or weep, be full of life and be- tray beauty,” is an image whose glory makes pale by comparison those famous lines of Dryden's on Lord Hastings smallpox, which have . heretofore been generally recelved as the standard for this style of writing: Blisters with pride swelled, which through his flesh did sprout Like rosebuds, stuck in the lly skin about. Fach/ little pimple had a tear in it To wall the fauit its rising did commit: Which, rebel-like, with its own lord at strife, | Thus made an insurrection 'gainst his life. Or were these gems sent to adorn his skin, The cabinet of a richer soul within? R Other adjuncts, stock-in-trade of the Macterlinck drama, are not wanting. Something deformed or uncanny must cf course be there and this we find in the shape of a paralyzed old woman (Meli- grane); the usual “enfant terrible” ap- pears in Little Yssaline. The hero (Mele- ander) has a tolerable opinion of himself and a wordy admiration for the beauty of holiness and the holiness of beauty; he is supposed to be (dramatically) cap- abls of inspiring with deathless devotion two good and beautiful women; yet, upon inspection, he turns out to be little more than an inmate escaped from some neigh- boring Maison d'Alienes. For proof—as the husband of Selysette he is dutifully in love with her, but at the same time he is in love with Aglavaine. Now, if for the sake of argument, we stretch a term and allow with Balzac that a man can actuai- ly be in love wit’ “vo women at once, W~ must certalnly coatend, as did he and Captain Macheath, that the sight of oue dear charmer will drive away thought of the other. Could any fact in human na- ture be clearer than that? But M. Maeterlinck will not have it so; he makes Meleander say to Selysette (act I1I, scene 1): “When I am near you my thoughts are of her, and when I am by her side it is of you that I think™ (). Did Selysette resent this? No. Did Aglavaine? No. They both took it as « compliment. ¢ ¢ * Such beings exist not in the heavens nor in the earth of which we have ken; they exist only in the diseased imagination of a decadent whose system is poisoned with the mala- | ria of Belgian canals and French sym- bolism. Ah, he Is a rare fellow, this Meleander! Behold him in the second act: MELEANDER. (Taking her in his arms)—You are beautiful, Aglavaine. course, AGLAVAINE. (Throwing her arms around him)—I love you, Meleander! MELEANDER. Is it you who are crying, Aglavalne? AGLAVAINE. Meleander. MELEANDER. Ard s it we who are trembling? AGLAVAINE. No, it is we, Yes. (They kiss each other. A ery of pain Is heard through the follage and Selysette is seen, all disheveled, fiying toward the castle.) Imagine the mentality of a man who doesn’'t know whether he or the lady or both are crying, and observe the cheap 0ld device of the Overheard Conversations to bring about the complication. * * ¢ But let us proceed. Meleander follows his wife and thus squares himself with her (act I11): MELEANDER. Oh, my beautiful Selysette! Were | from heaven to float into my arms, | place that is yours, I could not lay bare my | soul more profoundly than I do to you. Whether she (Aglavaine) go or stay, she will have shown v lies: she will have taught | me to love last as I never yet have loved. Our love lies far above ourselves, Sely- sette; there where we loved each other we are pure and beautiful, and there, too, do we meet you, and for some time now, thanks to you, we have no longer had to love you without seeing you Come. give me your lips. I kiss you on Your soul to-night, Selysette. Come, midnight is striking. Let us go and see whether Agla- vaine's dream be still weeping through her steep. The psychology of this passage is as muddy as its phraseology. How, for in- stance, can Mellander be passionately in love with Aglavaine and at the same time be taught by her rapturousiy to love | Selysette? What do these phrases mean: “There where we love each other we are pure and beautiful”: “I kiss you on your soul”: “Our love lles far above our- selyes”? Can real men and women talk this way and escape the Commissioners | of Lunrcy? Nowhere, lct us hope, except, perhaps, in Belglum.. an angel fato the ¥ The only character of human interest in the play is Selysette.

To me it seems he cannot even say clearly what he means. ADVERTISEMENTS. B. KATSCHINSKI, PHILADELPHIA' SHOE CO. 10 THIRD ST., San Francisso. ONLY ‘] 85 . INCHES LADIES’ EX'I'R HIGH CUT. AMUSEMENTS.
