the President, roll-call and reading of the
| bylaws and minutes of the last meeting,
Miss Holding, of Jared Seminary, address
ed the society on Mexican Border work.

who is being educated by the San Marcos
Auxiliary Society, was introduced, and read
in pretty and vivacious manner, touch
ing letter of gratitude to the 'dear ladies' OF

What this country needs just at this juno
ture is plenty of rain. It seems as if the
clerk of the weather had taken umbrage at
the grumbling of the farmers about ''too
much rain" this spring and shut off the sup
Ply for the year. However, We trust this
will not prove to be the case. A good rain
now would be worth thousands of dollars
to our farmers; it would increase the yield
of corn at least 25 per cent. and would do
everything ''power of good.".

THE INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT.

A Determined Effort To Be Made to Effect
Something Next Winter.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Nov 18.-The organization of
the American Copyright League, by the election
of Mr.. James Russell Lowell for the presidency,
is the first step taken this year toward bringing
about the protection so much sought by Ameri-
can writer's from the piratical publishers in the
Eastern States, who have made so much money
in supplying the public with good literature in
cheap form. Of course there are two sides to
the question, and two opinions as to the advis-
ability of enacting international copyright
act, but it seems only right that the man who
turns his brains to literature should have as
much protection as his brother who devotes his
energies to mechanics. The attempt at the last
Congress to pass such law was ably seconded
by the efforts of Congressman Dorsheimer who
is now United States District attorney for the
city of New York. Dorsheimer took such active
and earnest interest in this measure, and felt 80
sure of success, that when he saw that his bill
had failed he seemed to lose all interest in the
subsequent proceedings of the House, and he
was not heard of at all during the last session of
Congress, except upon one or two occasions.

q strong membership, who are earnest and act
i've in their endeavors to secure the
passage of copyright law, it
is very doubtful if they will be
more successful in the Forty ninth Congress than
They were in the Forty-eighth. Somehow or
other, there is strong prejudice against writer's
and artists among members of Congress, and
their appeals have generally been disregarded
and unheeded by the legislators. Nearly every
writer of any prominence in America has joined
the American Copyright League, but all appeals
to Congress to take some steps in the matter
have thus far been utterly ignored. 1t is the
same way with the artists The tariff act of
1883 discriminates against the foreigners. in that
it places tariff upon imported pictures which
are not painted by American artists while those
which are the works Of Americans residing
