American Novelists.
PAPER and Pres

Paper and Press.
The American writers of the day
stand as much alone as did those of
the last century, when we had our
beginning, the earnestness ofpurpose
which made that beginning possible
still dominates us. The American
writers are not a jovial class. Even
their wit is tinged with severity, and
their "lightest" novel has a purpose
the improvement of the reader
according to the writers standard.
The American novel of smallest cali
Der will at least attempt to correct
the usual method of mixing griddle
cakes. The American writer consid-
ers it duty to better the world in
some way. Who shall say there is
not right upon the side of those who
hold to that opinion? At the present
writing, the American woman writes
q better novel than the American
man. She is more sincere, more
natural, less artificial on the face of
1t. Her earnestness takes hold of
you in way you cannot but re-
spect; even if you do not agree with
her, you know she means it at all
costs to herself, and sometimes, she
leaves you at the last period. Helen
Hunt convinced many man against
his will. Frances Hodgson Burnett,
English by birth, is American in
spirit, as her "Fair Barbarian"-the
only decently natural portrayal of an
American girl abroad-proves salts
factorily. There is small galaxy of
them, if one had time to print a cata-
logue, but the facts in general speak
for themselves. And American wo-
men writers ought to be good novel
lists, at least. The "wider sphere''
into which they have undoubtedly
stepped, the opportunities they have
to see more of life than their trans
atlantic sisters, their Countrywide,
varied, and romantic, their practical
experiences, reaching so soon into
the mists Of ages gone, opening so fal
into the light Of futurity, all their
surroundings, all their training, fits
them for it. 1t is to be devoutly
hoped some vigorous, far-sweepine
wind Of fortune may hurry into oul
horizon fair sail, for-leaving the
figures of speech upon which ener'
getic language is wrecked-it would
be relief to see vanish the tiresomt
male novelists who have so long spur
out the pages of our magazines.

Excitement in Texas,

Great excitement has been caused
in the vacinty of Paris, Tex, by the
remarkable recovery of Mr.. j. f.
Corley, who was so helpless he could
not turn in bed, or raise his head ;
everybody said he was dying of Con-
sumption. A trial bottle of DIR. Kings
New Discovery was sent him. Find
ing relief, he bought large bottle
and a box of DR.. Kings New Life
Pills; by the time he had taken two
boxes of Pills and two bottles of the
Discovery, he was well and had
gained in flesh thirty-six pounds.

1t was no part Of his argument to i'm
peach the good faith OF the President, but
he warned the Democratic side of the
chamber that we were not dealing with
this question for a day. The issue was
one that would outlive us. AS to the ten
ure of office law, MIR. SpO0ner criticized
the Presidents expression "innocuous
desuetude." The term always pro
VOked smile, Mr.. Spooner said,
but there was nothing to smile at. This
was government Of law, and he was s0r-
ry the Chief Executive of the republic
should have used such words of any law
that stood on the statute books. 1t was a
dangerous time when the President of the
United States, with an oath registered in
heaven to "take care that the laws should
be faithfully executed" should send a
message to the Senate saying that stat
ute has fallen into harmless disuse-
though the statute remained on the books.
PICTURED AS CRISIS.
If ever there was a time when there
was need of respect for the law, it was
now, when in many States thoughtful
men were turning blanched faces to the
future. How could the people be eX-
pected to yield cheerful obedience to the
statutes when the first citizen OF the re-
public-himself charged with their exc
cutiOn-was heard asserting that a statute
could harmlessly fall into dIsuseH But Mr..
SpOOner said the President did not believe
his own statement. His acts had been
better than his words, for he had sent in a
large number of nominations of men to
take the places of officers suspended by
him under authority OF the very act to
which the reference had been made.
At 5 O'Clock, Mr.. Spooner, still having
the floor, the Senate went into executive
session and in about half an hour, on the
doors being reopened, adjourned.

A Belief That the Collision story Is Only

NEW YORK, March lS.--There is a great
deal OF discussion among nayigators as "a
what caused the loss Of the steamer Ore
gon. The theory ofcollision with a schoOn-
er Is growing in discredit owing to the
slender testimony in its favor Two other
theories are advanced; one that the Ore.
gOD struck a floating torpedo, and the
other that her side was torn open by an
explosion Of some description from the
inside. The steamship officials are abso-
lutely dumb 80 far as regards anything
calculated TO solve the mystery; but the
more the matter is investigated by disin-
terested men the stronger becomes the
conviction that the disaster was moi
caused by a collision.
