Mr. Tail dlscourses pleasantly IN to-days
TRIBUNE on the relative importance OF BOOKS
and newspapers as means of culture. Whether
as he seems to think, the reading of solid Itera-
ture is destined TO be generally abandoned, is
question concerning which, no doubt opinions
will differ hut that an increasing number OF
people derive their information from news
papers Is certain, and it is not less clear that
the press, in its constant efforts to enlarge the
field of It's usefulness is encrOaching more and
more upon the province of literature. One re-
suit of this is apt to be the growth OF super
ficialism in knowledge, though, on the other
hand, 1t may be ~aid that great many people
who otherwise would have remained ignorant
are now afforded the means of acquiring at
least surface apprehension of current events.

from the private secretary of the late

Postmaster Parker of Berlin, San,

He is the most Jealous, rancorous, Of

dollars in the cause. Mrs. Parker,
his wife, on the contrary, is Demo

hates all black Republicans, except
her husband, with a perfect hatred,
and during the campaign she keeps
even him on short commons, so tina
she can save money to contribute to
the Democratic funds. Complaints
have been coming to First Assistant

some time of Mr.. Parker's rabid par

decided to remove him. The next

The elections last Tuesday resulted
in Democratic victories in New York
and Virginia, in both of which the
Republicans made desperate fights
and expressed high hopes of winning.
The Democratic plurality in New
York is about 10000. with Repub,

Virginia is about $4,000, with a big
majority in both houses of the legisla'
ture. The Democrats have MAORI
ty Of about 10000 in Maryland,
with both houses. Of course Missis.
sippi went Democratic. New Jersey,
Connecticut, Massachusetts, PennsYl-

also, went Republican. Taken alto
