Trollope could enforce such demand
Wilkie Collins can William Black can
Thomas Hardy can. The answer is easily
found in the fact that every blok-stall in
America is loaded down with cheap foreign
reprints and translations, upon which pub
fishers pay the authors no royalty" Hardly,
Mr.. Thompson. The answer is found in the
difference between English and American
methods of publishing. In England the first
edition Of novel is always published 10
three volumes, which are retaied at sum
equal to fifteen dollars in our currency.
They can be sold at this enormous figure
because there are many wealthy hOokbuyeIs
but chiefly because from a score to several
hundred copies are bought 10y each of the
great circulating Libraries, the like Of which
are absolutely unknown in this country. Ii
the edition therefore consists Of only thou

copyright can be paid the author from the
first edition and the publisher still realize a
handsome profit, which is largely increased
by the gains on the cheaper editions which

THE HOG QUESTION.
Possible Rumed Relations Between
The United states and GERMANY.

BERLIN, Feb. IA. - The Norddeutsche
Zeituug says editorialy; The bill in regard
to the hog products before the American
Congress is calculated 10 painfully affect
those Germans who have national interests
at heart. The sting of the bill is palpaby
directed against Germany alone. Germany
has always maintained friendly disposition
toward America, and does everything
possible to show Ter friendship. This
sudden anu-German attitude on the
part of America exctes in us regret
aud establishment. We do not assume that
American statesmen are disposed 10 enter
tain the opinion that Germany can be Undue
ed by reprisals or threats to rescind the
measures enforced in the interest OF public
health. An Independent government can
counter reprIsals consisting In increased
customs duties and eventually by legal
measures otherwise affecting the intercourse
between the two countries"

DIVORCE.

The important question of divorce reform
is discussed in TO days issue of the FREE
PRESS in the form of nterviews) by Presi-
dent Buckham, Rev. DR.. l.. o. Brastow,
Rev. NJ. d. Jump, Rev. F. j. Parry Rev.
W. C. Dawson, Rev. ii. b. Putnam, and
Hon. Henry Ballald aud the opinions of
these gentlemen will be found full of
interest. We need not bespeak for
them careful pelusa, for such they
will be sure to receive. Our own views on
the subject are probably familiar to our
readers. We believe that to limit divorce
to the so-caled ''Scriptural grounds" is both
wrong and impracticsble; and that the law
of Vermont, as it now stands, is as good one
as we can reasonably expect That the
frequency of divorce has become great evil
is generally. admitted, but as to reform IN the
matter, we agree with President Buckham tina,
the best hope lies in the awakening, REFORM
ing and intensifying of Christian sentiment.
The scheme for uniform legislation through
out all the states of the Union seems to us
mere day-drcam-a "barren ideality." The
reform, like all ether reforms, cannot be
brought about by the enactment of laws.
Laws are useless, and much worse than use
less, when not sustained by public opinion.
Aud the unform-law scheme is, aside from
that, impractlcdble IN the highest degree.
The principal increase in the number of
divorces is, President Buckham thinks, in
that element of the poorer classes which IA
vors laxity in the family relation. This IS
doubtless true, but it ought to be added that
very large proportion OF all divorces lin
Vermont, at least, and, we doubt not, in
other parts of the country are obtained by
our floating populaton-people who are de-
scrlbed as Tin manner waits, who have in
their character of fortunes more or less of the
bohemian element, who have no fixed place
in the social scale and are amenable to no
exacting public opiuion who seek employ
ment from place to place. not often remain
ing long anywhere and having no permanent
| social relations These are the people
whose names ill the dockets of our divorce
courts.
But we will not prolong the discussion of
the qntsii II. Some of the gentlemen whom
our reporters have interviewed differ radi-
cally. from Us, and all sides of the question
are compactly and incisively discussed and
the Symposium" is an interesting one.
