A GRAIN OF WHEAT

"YOu see, there is so much perfunctory
book making in these days that a manu-
script worth having is very much like a
grain of wheat in IA bushel of chaff
Some publishers order a new book from

order pair of trousers, but my own no
ton is that unless q man is so full of
his subject that he can't help writing his
book won't amount to very much when
il is written. a manufacturer can weave
any given number of yards of cloth TO
order, and an architect can build house

The democrats have selected Kennedy,
Little and Butterworth, upon whom they
propose to center every effort, which noodle
can bring TO bear. in order, il possible, to
secure the defeat of those bright and shining
republican lights. The record of these three
gentlemen in lighting democratic election
frauds in the Ohio senate and in the United
States congress makes plain the reason of
this determined and concentrated opposition.
They will not succeed-they will not sue
coed, by large majority. The ortler-Ioving
and law abiding people of this state are not
yet ready TO surrender to the dictates and
methods of the Doodle gang.
The issue in this district resolves itself
not simply to a fight between Doodle de
mocracy and the republican nominee, Gen
eral Kennedy, because of his manly
fight last winter, as speaker of the Ohio
senate, against democratic election frauds.
Other issues are attempted by the bOodlers
and coal-oilerS. but this is simply in
accordance with a scheme 10 cover up
the real issue. They are attempting
by lying and Misrepresentation to make
the wOrkingInen believe this thing and
that thing, hoping, by thus throwing chatf
in their eyes, to keep their own cloven foot
covered up. The deception will not win;
the workingmen see through the scheme
They see that democratic money and demo
cratic brains direct and prosecute the CAM
pIign. Thomas 4. McMillin. the mon
p artisan" congressional quality, is simply
an ambuscade whom the wOrkingmen were
innocently induced to set up, through dem
ocratic influence, and behind whom the war
is waged against republicanism as embod-
led in General Kennedy. The plot is dis
covered and the wOrkingmen whom they
hoped TO allure by false pretenses are now
flocking from them in much larger numbers
than they ever fiocked TO them, and the re-
suit will be, as before in Clark county. a
fight between pure and unadulterated re-
publicanism on the one hand and coal oil
democracy on the other. Look out for an
old-time republican majority in this county.

A PUBLISHER TALKS
OF HIS EXPERIENCE WITH AUTHORS
WHO HAVE WRITTEN A BOOK.

A Manuscript Worth Having Is Like q

Criticism of Experts.

A CASE IN POINT.

"Some manuscripts | have had exam
ined by half 4 dozen experts, and then
after comparing their opinions, | have a
very fair and comprehensive idea of the
merits and dement's of the book. Here
is n case in point, being manuscript all
the way from Vermont. 1t was read by
five or six experts, and, on comparing
their opinions, | found that they had all
picked upon the same weak spots, and at
the same time each had discovered Just
about the same amount of merit in il.
The manuscript was returned TO the au-
thor, together with these criticisms, and
he was told that after the changes were
duly made his work would be duly pub
hshed.
perhaps you were not aware of the
fact, but it is fact, that a great many
books carrying the imprint Of well
known publishers are not issued at their
risk. Books that promise n ready sale for
any reason are issued usually at the eX-
pense of the publisher, who pays royalty
to the author. If there is any reason &c
doubt the complete success of the venture
the author is required TO contribute to
the expense Of printing, and in some cases
he is obliged to pay the entire cost. ]
sometimes have men come to me with
manuscripts who claim that they can sell
500 copies TO their own friends. In one
such case | told the gentleman that ]
doubted whether he would sell fifty cop
les on any such basis. He was at first
inclined to be offended at such an out
spoken opinion, but cooled off, and hav-
ing such confidence in the potency of his
name in the town where he. lived he as
sumed the entire risk of publishing the
book. Now, how many do you suppose
he sold in the territory where he expected
TO sell five hundred? OF course you can't
guess, but as a matter of actual fact he
sold just twenty-five copies. The publi-
cation of a book is purely a business mat
ter. If the book is wanted people will
buy it; if they do not want it very few
will buy it simply because they know the
author. | have sold over eighty thou
sand copies of a book by man whose
name had never been heard of beyond a
small circle, but, you see, the book had
something in it. Chicago Herald.

"How do we determine whether a
manuscript is likely to suit our pur-
pOsess Well" continued the publisher,
THAT is pretty broad question. There
are so many things To be considered and
such diversity of conditions that per
haps no two cases are handled in precisely
the same way. Now, suppose you were
an author with a manuscript. Unless you
had some previous experience, the chances
are that when walking into my Office and

rather shaky in the neiGhborhOOd of your

An LXcHAsGE says: Judge Powers

fore the Senate judiciary committee

tice of Utah was pending, denying all

than pleased to see the answers of the

little hurt that the ex-judee has SO soon
forgotten his organ while in Utah-THE

OK WEDNESDAY the Ohio. the Cali
fornia and the Iowa Republicans, in
convention assembled denounced tn
present administration and resolved"
against the Democratic party. As the
other State Republican conventions
come along, they will fall into line and
arraign the party in power, and tell
how the Democrats are lesding.the ma
ton to destruction. Turn about is fair
play. For twenty-five years the Demo
Gratis have been framing and adopting
resolutions denunciatory of the ad-
ministrative party. and viewing with
alarm" every movement inaugurated by
Republicans. Creating resolutions costs
nothing and if they do no good they
are harmless.

AREN'T THEY?

The Michigan Republican convention
assembled at Grand Rapids in that
State, has adopted platform contain
ing clause which condemns Mormon
ism, and favors its suppression by a
rigid enforcement Of the laws by the
cIvI authorities, and by the military If
necessary. That viii greatly refresh
the spirits Of our anti-Mormon friends
in these mountain wales. They will be-
gin TO think that, after all their pathetic
appeals 70 the G. A. r. delegations, to
do something for Us when you return
10 your homes in the far East" has not
been altogether in vain. And then the
Republicans in Michigan. have not only
expressed themselves in favor of the
rigid enforcement of the laws by the
civil authorities, but they are in favor
of using the military if necessary |
That's heroicl That has the true anti

fears that Utah would become State;

AMERICA HAS had her recent revolu-

say, the American revolution has ended
in fissco. just as the European prom
ises To do. The revolution we refer to
has been going on in one of the petty
republics Of Central America, known as
Hopduras. The rebels-we may cali
them such since they failed to over
throw the government-Were led by one
General Delgedo, who with his fol-
lowers has been completely defeated
This leaves the President, Don Luis
Bogran, more securely seated in Lis
government than he was before. The

$500 English square miles and a popu-
lation in 1854. Of $4,000. Its active

THE KIND OF MEN.

JEFF Davis may be q crank in the es-
timation Of some people. and q rebel
and an arch traitor in the minds of
others; but for all that be gave some
very good political points the other day
at Congressional convention in Missis-
sippi. Speaking of choosing candi
date for Congress he said: 1.-The man
to be selected as candidate should be
one who would carefully guard the in
terests Of his constituents and of the en-
tire country" 1t having been said
by previous speakers that an honest man
was wanted as q candidate, Mr.. Davis
said: at is not difficult to find an
honest man to send to Congress, but to
get one who can withstand the tempta-
tons and come back honest Is not such
an easy matter"
That is true. 1t is opportunity that
makes the thief. Many a man whose
life is above reproaeh goes to Washing
ton and goes down under the strong
and glittering temptations he meets
with in the capital. Representatives
for the people should not only be
honest but strong-able to continue
honest. in the midst OF opportunities
to be otherwise for filthy lucre's sake.

THE STREET CAR STRIKE.

New York City Is again suffering
from another strike by street car
drivers. The strikers are trying to re-
peat the dcings and scenes of last
spring, when for a time a mob took
possession of the city. refused to per-
init the running OF cars. and entered
upon lawless and destructive course.
This time the police seem to be bette;
organized for the purpose Of resisting
the mob, and are less nervous and halt
ing than they were before. Several col
lisions have occurred, and the strikers
have invariably been punished aud
driven back. Undoubtedly the ex-
perience of last spring has proven
valuable to the municipal authori-
ties, as the mob on this occa-
sion is learning. We shall be
mistaken if the present strike does
not prove of short duration; and it will
be somewhat surprising if the result
does not turn out disastrously to the
strikers, especially to those who are
active IN the mob.
It is matter for regret that poor work
ingmen will not learn wisdom by e1-
perience; that they will persist In
making bad matters worse for them
selves. When the street car employees
struck few months ago, they had the
advantage of the employers and the
public and knew it; they brought the
employers to terms, compelling the latter
TO take them back, Notwithstanding the
outrsges they had committed and the
companies property they had de-
stroyed. IL the men had been ordi-
narily wise they would have
known that the employers would
submit to defeat and dictation
only until they could change things
and seize the advantage which
their victors held. An ordinary knowl-
edge of human nature should have sug-
gested this TO the men, and should also
have told them that if they desired to
retain their places they must be par
ticularly circumspect and msnifest no
signs Of discomfort. 1t is understood,
and it is probably correct. that the car
companies have been laying the plans
for getting rid OF last springs strikers.
and that they are well prepared for the
present strike, having engaged men to
take the places Of all who have gone
out. The requirement of extra work
was for the purpose Of inducing the
men to go out and thus furnish the en-
ployers an excuse for keeping them
out. The new men have been quietly
hired in Philadelphia ard other cities
close 10 New York, and will be ut on
just as soon as the public are able to
quiet the mobs and COW the strikers into
peaceful department. When the change
has been made and the strikers find
themselves without employment, and
with no hope of obtaining work. per-
haps they will be able to understand
how they have made asses of them
selves, and at what cost.
- very good rule for workingmen
and others to follow, is TO hold fast to
one rope until they have another safely
il hand.

WHICH WILL 1T BE?

Father O'ReiIly, the enthusiastic
treasurer Of the Irish National League
Of America, attended the Chicago con-
vention of the League, but that visit
may cost him his priesthood in the
Catholic church. Several days ago
Bishop Borgess., in whose diocese
Father O'ReiIy is lsboring, summoned
a synod of his priests to meet in Sand
wich, and all we're notified that none of
them would be excused from atten-
dance. But Father O'Reilly played
traant and went to the Chicago con-
ventiOn. OF course. he will be called
upon 10 account for his disobedience.
The Bishop issued an edict which was
sustained. by the priests at the synod. TO
the effect that no priest in his diocese
should hold any public Office outside of
the priesthood. 1t now remains

to surrender his treasurership of
