ciles and scoundrels who now run the affairs of the city would have got nothing but the contempt they deserve; at all events, their personal perquisites would have been less by several millions of dollars than they are said to be under the patronage of the Children of Light society.

As Wanamaker, Dolan & Co. are the leading spirits in this Children of Light movement, this may be a good place to recall the fact that when Wanamaker was Postmaster General, during Harrison's tea-party administration, he resolved to make a sweat-shop concern out of the Western Union Telegraph Company, and so go down to fame as the great Postmaster of economic reform. In a word, he notified the Western Union that after a certain date he would only pay so much for the services rendered the Government by the telegraph company, precisely as he would notify a travelling clerk or salesman in his own sweat-shops, and concluded that there was an end of it-the dear verdant saint; and as a matter of fact the smart newspapers, who care so much more for advertising than they care for truth, all united in a mild sort of commendation of the Wanamaker economy in managing the Postal Department.

About the same time the editor of the GLOBE wrote an article, called "The Stupidest Man on Earth," showing that Wanamaker's position in Harrison's Cabinet had cost him more than his salary and perquisites for four years were worth, and above all that his fight with the Western Union had been a wretched failure; that the Western Union had their own prices, that Wanamaker could not make a sweat-shop concern out of that company, and that its managers would whip Wanamaker out of his boots in the long run.

Within ten days of this writing-November 29, 1897-the Public Ledger of Philadelphia published the fact that the Supreme Court of the United States had just given its final ruling in favor of awarding to the Western Union Company about $250,000 growing out of this old Wanamaker sweat-shop foolery; and yet Philadelphians still seem to think that whatever this pious cheap-John touches is eminently wise and reliable.

Let him take his enormous advertisements out of the Philadelphia and New York newspapers for one year, and there is no editor in either city so mean but he would paint Wanamaker, Dolan & Co., and the entire band of this new Children of Light club, in colors blacker than Tom Nast ever applied to Bill Tweed.

W. H. THORNE'S

Quintets and Other Verses?

SEE PRESS NOTICES BELOW

MR. WILLIAM HENRY THORNE, the editor of the GLOBE REVIEW, who is one of the most dashing critics in the country, is the author of these poems.

· * There is a spiritual purpose about them which is felt by the reader, and they have a sweetness and purity which will endear them to many. They are all short pieces, but many of them have a certain musical and harmonious expression of truth which will cause one to read them again and again. The book will grow upon those who own it, and it represents the highest communings of a gifted and devout mind.—Boston Herald.

MR. THORNE speaks very modestly of his poems in the preface; we think they deserve their title better than many others for which more is claimed. They are pleasing and simple in style for the most part, and will appeal to the reader in many ways.

-Philadelphia Times.

MR. W. H. THORNE, the author, is well known at the present time as the editor of the GLOBE REVIEW, and as a writer of decided opinions. His poems, now gathered in a very pretty book, have been published from time to time in the Philadelphia Times, and are worthy of being collected in a volume by themselves.-Times, Boston.

WILLIAM HENRY THORNE, the well-known critic, has published a very pretty volume of poems, Quintets and Other Verses," bound in holiday style. Mr. Thorne is recognized as one of the most vigorous writers in this country, but hitherto he has mostly confined his labors to social, religious, and political matters; now he appears as a poet. His verses are marked by feeling, beauty and originality, and he shows himself, as he has often shown before, a man of intellectual gifts. -News, Baltimore, Md.
