Before the investigating about the excessive financial powers of J. P. Mor- gan than can be found in forty ordinary discourses, whether eermons, stump speeches or academic addresses, Many other people have said the same things, but the Judge #) Yaw said them best, because he knows them best. It was declared aftold there is eloquence when “out of the fullness of the heart the mouth speaketh.” But in Judge Gary’s case the puree is ae full as the heart, and money talks as well as the tongue. The compli- ments paid in his testimony to the excellence of Mr. Morgan’s dis- position, to his strength of character and his courage, may be part of the courtesies of high finance or an expression of friendship, but the declaration “he could do a great deal of harm if he had the dieposition to do so,” is straight talk. We should not give much heed to dispositions in matters of this kind. We ought to provide a banking system not subject to the disposition of any combination of private financiers, no matter how excellent their morals and their methods, ought to attend to the duty. And this Congress eee - DOCTORS AND DEMAGOGUES. R. NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER, addressing the graduates of Columbia, spoke of the time as “The Age of Irrationalism.” He warned hie ngenuous bachelors to beware of the torrent ri of words that flowe incessantly from demagogues, * religious, political and literary, that “din our ears with hungry cries.” It was an excellent discourse, pertinent to the pressure of the ttme, and if taken by itself would impress us with the advantage of »* having doctors to advise us in all matters of high concern. Unfortu- _ nately, on the came day the “niversity of New York conferred the degree of Doctor of Letters on Robert Underwood Johnson, and the new dignitary proceeded to pronounce an oration upon American mo poets, giving foremost place to Emerson and ranking Longfellow, , Bryant, Whittier, Lowell, Holmes and Thomas William Parsons next ~ im their order. Such estimates proceeding from the haunta of culture cause a «pale-cast of thought to overcome any rosy hue of resolution to accept _ the teaching of Columbia that doctors) know more than dema- wm gogues. So long as culture persists in ranking Emerson as a poet ““Wbove Longfellow and Lowell, and includes Thomas William Par- » one in a roll of fame from which Poe and Whitman and Joaquin Miller are shut out, it will be just as well for the crowd to follow their own judgments. Still, Dr. Butler is right—it surely is an age _, of irrationalism. > — +4 FIRE LAWS AT CONEY.
