The cri of good times ycems to
have no ntoin marked changes in tho
various brandies of ttude than those
which have been experienced by tho
dealer In lioise flesh. And In most
Instances the buyer can ncaiccly bo
biciught to leallzo the change that has
been wrought in tho conditions of a.
yenr ago. At the beginning of tho
f'panlsh-Ametlcan war an excellent
horso could bo pin chased for from
fifty to sixty dollars and tho nnlmals
were to a certain extent a du.g on
tho majket at that price. The pass
ing of thu Jaded steed of the eticet
inllroad and general depression of
business which diminished the demand
for draught or pleasure hotscs mudi!
the prospects Indeed gloomy for thn
breeders. Tho opening of the Cuban
campaign, which cieated a demand for
a Iojeo number of hot sen, -,vas nccom
npd by an unexpected call from IJu-
Thomas B. Reed. .
The leputiitlon of Thomas U Itetd
extends throughout tho civilized world,
being high wherever thcte Is use of
imtllamentniy law Dining n good
deal mote than half of the twenty
leais of his "eivice In congresi he Inn
been easily the dominant flgine Hinong
its mmbetship; jet It Is n singular
fa -t that his name Is directly con
nected in the public mind with no
single (onstiuctlve net ot statesman
ship and Is given onlv to the celebrated
title of quotum counting which icvo
lutlonled the house's method of doing
business
This tule held that a member ilslble
to the speakct rhould be counted as
picsent even though ho failed to ie
spond at toll call. It asj intended to
pi event the Democratic mlnoilly from
olistiueting legislation by letiislng to
answer thelt names. Those members
absent without leave could be brought
Into the house by the sergeant-at-ninn
and, onte In, thev weie counted to
make a quotum, wheth'T they liked It
or not. In this wav the house ceased
to be a llllbustciliig stronghold and
became a working assemblj', with the
majotlty at all times able to cany out
its polUv. The Democrats made a
fuiious outcry when Mr. Reed pio
clalmed this mlc. Kor years he was
nicknamed a tzar and made the tar
get for all kinds of ridicule and abuse
but he was as Immovable In his posl
Hon as the big lock of GIbialtar, and
tbe mlnoiitj- soon gave up the uncquul
rtruggle and accepted the Inevitable,
Speaker Heed's vindication came when.
In the IJ'inoc ratio Flfty-thltd congiess
Sp -aker Ci lsp adopted the Heed rules
and enforced them precisely as Heei
would have done.
As speaker Thomas B Heed has vir
tually' eontiolled the actions ot tho
house, bending It to his strong will
whenever he liked. The power oxet
tlsed by Heed has been greater Unit
that of manv absolute monarchs but
Its exercKo has been justified by the
fact that It has invatlably thwarted
i rookedness and folly and expedited
Impoitnnt and wholesome public busi
ness, in the hands of a dishonest o"
an ignoiant man It would have led to
scandal or Incfllclencj, but Heod hat
been as honest as he was biave and
able. His subti action from congress
will take fiom public life a fotemost
personality; but the honor which ho
ha3 won and worn Is amide for any
man and It is uatuial that having al
waj's been a poor man he should now
wish to tuin his great talents to tho
honorable acquisition of an adequate
competence for his family.

School Influence.
The Hochestcr Democrat and Chron
icle piesentH some, opinions upon a
subject of wldespicad Intel est which
me so sound nnd timely that we make
bold to adopt them as our own. "No
school or kindergarten," that excel
lent paper ajs, "can take the place of
a good home. The best there Is of In
stiuctlun, of association, of lnlluenco
and Instill utiou for a child Is to be
found in the ideal home Jinny
American children are reared In such
an enxiionment. Thej- are sent to the
kindergartens and schools, not to get
them out of the way of their patents
or to put them under better inlluentes
than thej- have nt home, but for sup
plementary Instruction nnd ttalning.
Unfoitunately all homes are not of
this Ideal character. In our large cit
ies theie ate thousands of little chil
dren whose only opportunities for ac
quit Ing knowledge and good manners
will be found in the klndeigartens nnd
primal y dopattments of the public
school system. If the ntmospheie nt
those Institutions Is tainted with ul
garlsm and ill-breeding, then their
only chance ot becoming pure-minded,
clean thinking, good-mannered men
and women will be lost to them.
"In Chlengo, kludergaitens were Hist
established in pints of the city where
many small chlldien, owing to tho oc
cupations or character and habits of
their parents, knew nothing of good
home influence and training. Their
play ground was the stieets with all
the vicious and debasing influences
generally found In suh quatters In
our large cities. In n recent ieprrt of
the Chicago board of education thu
following regarding tho cifoets of kln
detgaiten Influence upon the children
of these neighborhoods appears. It
says 'At first many ihlldren are
combative, lesentful, mde, selfish,
greedy and show the perverting, de

ten nutkes theso same children neat,
obedient, self-helpful, thoughtful anil
helpful to uthinr disciplines them un
consciously to right thought and no

development of title men and women.'
"An Institution or system which
bears putli fruits among the classes of
children descilbtd above ennnot be too
hlt'hly commended or carefully nour

the kindergarten nor tho higher grades

St. John's Gospel
as a Diuine Ode.
Hditor of The Tilbune.
Sit. Last week In sending jou a
communication on Lincoln as a writer
of good sttong Anglo-Saxon us com
paied with Shakespeaie and the Bible,
I referred to the Instroductlon of St.
John's gospel as a sublime ode on the
beginning of things In heaven and In
eaith. Hut what is meant by such a
statement? For to the ordinary read
er the introduction of St John's: gos
pel does not appear to bo such nn ode
nt all It Is only a piece of pi use of
the same lorm and chaiacter as the
rest of the gospel. Hut this is not nt
all the case. K looks like ordlnarj
piose because It Is so printed. Under
lying it, however, Is the verj- same He
btew parallelism which maiks Hebrew
poetiy wherever It Is found This does
not mean it has those ordinary charac
teristics of Dngllsh poetrj- rhyme and
metre which we are accustomed to
think of as the essentials of our poetlo
forms. It simply means It has the
highest characteristics of all world
poetry, subllmltj' of thought, n rhjthm
ic How of language and a power of
diction expressed under the tustomaty
form of tho poetiy of the people to
which the writer belonged, that Is, tho
Hebtew.
o
Further than this. It is a fact well
known to all dose students of the
Bible that St. John's introduction is
nn exact counteipart of the introduc
tion to the first book of the Bible,
called Genesis. It is very little known,
however, that the latter, also, is an
ode, and can easily be ananged In tho
same waj', according to the same poet
ic ptlnclplcs. I will now give you St.
John's introduction, arranged as sug
gested. Later on I will send jou the
introduction to the book of Genesis,
that Is, Genesis, 1, 1-2-3, at tanged ac
eoiding to the same principles,
o
Introduction to tho Gospel of St. John.
John 1 MS
In tho beu'lniiiiig was tho Word

Tho Word was joil,
The same was In the beginning with God.
No man hnlli seen Ood nt ntiv time.
The Only Begotten Son
Who Is in the bosom of the Father,
He hath mudo lllm ktnnn
By this nrrnngement, we find the In
troduction of St. John's Gospel natur
ally divides Itself Into three sections.
The first, which is the inti eduction to
the lutioductlon, consists of three
stations. The other two sections con
sist of four Rtnnzns each Tho llrst
section consists ot a strophe nnd nn
tlsltophe septtated by an Intermediate
stanza This Ij annlngoits to the
method of the gteat master noets ot
ancient Giecce. In the recond section
we find a strophe and nntlstropho of
seven lines each followed by a strophe
and nntlstrophe of four lines each. In
tho thhd section we find four stnnzas
of four lines each following like those
of the second section In the simplest
strophlc arrangement of the ancient
Greek masters, that Is, strophe, nnti
ttophe, strophe, nntlstrophe.
o
This patallollsm of stanzas has been
cnlled the higher Hebrew pnrulleltsm.
The parallelism of lines, which has re
cently boon called the lower parallel
ism. Is alo mnrked throughout this In
troduction. Take the second section,
for Instance. "There was a man sent
from God," has Its parallel in the fol
lowing line, "His name was John" It
Is the same with tho last two liner of
that stnnzn, and the Hist two and tho
last two lines of the following stanza.
Then take the second two stnn7as of
the second section. Here the lower
parallelism Is not that of line follow
ing line, such as that Just referred to,
but of the fli st nnd fourth lines, the
second and the third Then there Is
another nntuial feature of such a lie
brew poetic arrangement The lines
that stand out to the 1 ft can be read
without reading those set In to the
right. So with the lemalnlng lines. In
other words, those lines set out to the
left nre pat allot to each other, those
to the right nie parallel to each other.
o
Wo might futther enlarge on this
Impoitnnt subject. Wo might show
how the undei standing of tho rules of
Hebievv parallelism assists one eiy
materially, not onlj- to the conect un
derstanding of tho meaning of the
great Hebrew poets, but also to the
meaning of the prophets Tor the pro
phets, too, nre poets, and exptessi their
thnuchls In the ery same kind of
Hebrew poetlo fonns. Wo might go
still further. We might show how
vitally necessary it Is to the cotrect
Interpretation of Sctlpture as a whole
to he nblo to recognize the dlfteient llt-
eiaiy chaiacter or its various parts
(for it is continually changing in the
stylo and manner of Its speech), nnd
to apply with well dhected discrimina
tion to the Intel pi etatlon of them,
those particular rules ot literary crit
icism which naturally apply to them
Tor wo must of necessity go very far
asttay In our attempt to get at the
whole truth of God In Christ our Lord,
if wc do not lecognize poetry as pootij.
wherever wo come across It In the
Book of books, but attempt to Inter
pret It solely by the laws laid down In
the ordinary rules of ptose.
