Good Reading for the MILLION.

In 40 calling has the introduction of Improved
machinery. etc, done more to cheaper products
than in the printing business; and nowhere, it
may be aided, is the quality OF cheapness OF more
impOrt.tnce than In the dissemination OF intell!-
geace ana useful information among the people
Newspapers which are sold for couple OF
cents-the double sheet issues OF THE STAR being
an excellent example IN polnt-c0ntain more AMI
better re iing matter than one could formerly buy
In bO0H form for many dollars. But in the mat
Ter OF reducing the prices OF books themselves the
progress has been quite greet, Ia many instances,
and In some even greater. The cheap popular pub
hcationS OF some OF the leading American pub
lisheTs and the Bibles and tracts issued by the
e1etieS formed for that purpose have long been
Regarded as having touched bottom prices,
TO Use a cOmmerciI phrase. But these
maryels OF cheapnesS in their day have been
passed In turn In England where a good etii-
fion OF the New Test.men was lately brought out
at penny copy. This followed by a trans
lation In French, with Illustrations, at the same
price, and now the Slme house has produced a
read ble edition OF Bunyan's famous "Pilgrim'S
Progress" with a portrait OF the author and many
little Illustrations, to be sold for the same insight
.ncant sum. Another establishment enters the
Held OF current nterltura AMI proposes series OF
popular but unObjecticnable romances, also at
penny yOllme,-this enterprise being inaugu-
rated with '.Uncle Toms Cabin" story which
seems never to have lost It's hold the hearts of
the English people.
As a matter OF course, these low-priced books are
not produced In very high style OF topographic
art, whf Their as to printing, Illustrations, or the
quality Of paper on which they printed. But
they can be easily real, and they are spe tally to
be commended because they will do great good In
bringing pure and ecvating literature to the
hanGs OF many who might not otherwise b. able 10
procure reading matter at all. or only Il oDt in
that which IS poor In quality and debasing in It's
Effects. This OF itself is great thing, for 1t Is to
be observed that whatever is bad IS almost always
furnished at so low price to put 1t within the
reach OF all.
What the future may possibly bring forth in the
way OF progress in the mechanic arts, and the
consequent cheapening OF products of various
Kinds, OF course no one can tell. But il must be
that the extreme limit OF cheapness has about been
reached la the matter OF newspapers and books, as
shown above. Nor would any farther reduction
seem tn be necessary, If possible, even in the
interest OF the people themselves. 1t may be set
down as certain that those who cannot or say they
cannot afford so trifng an expenditure as Is now
required 10 procure three four days steady and
good reading, do not want to read at ALL

Mt. Davis PASifiA m.

MI. Davis was in his seat and heard the resolu-
ton read declaring him president pro TEN OF that
body. He made no sign Of objection, and his
silence was universally construed to mean accept
ance. 1t IS now said that the republicans had as
surance before nominating him that he would ac
cept. In the caucus yesterday it was suggested
that Mr. Davis might refuse. In reply, Senator
SAID he leit authorized to give the assurance that
he would accept, and he was Immediately nOmi-
mated 1t Is naturally supposed now that Mr.
Davis will, on all questions OF importance, vote
with the republicans. In written speech deliv-
cred by him at the last session of the Senate, he
stated that having been elected by democratic
votes 10 the Senate, he felt that it was incumbent
far as he could consistently. This being his
theory ne WILL of course, after being elevated to
duty bound to vote to sustain republican policy.
