Sweet Uses of Literary Adversely.

A rejected manuscript is a spur to
genius and the waste basket is the true
cradle of literary art No genuine
good work is lost. One by one the old
statue- are dug up. Why do you find
fault with the editor who refuses to
buy what he doesn't wantp If you
make your bate really tempting, ire
sistable, indeed there is no danger that
your labor will be lost. The editor
knows good thing and he will bite at
It when he sees it. The trouble is that
you underrate the editorial judgment;
you send the poor fellow stuff that you
would toss aside yourself if you were
IN editor. This is neither sensible nor
honest.
Pause a moment and reflect What
is it that can give commercial value to
a manuscript 1t is its power TO at
tract readers. II IN editor feels that
what you write will call attention to the
journal and thus make money for him
he will be quite ready TO pay you for it;
otherwise he will decline TO purchase.
tell YOU who are the editors favorts.
1t is the young writers who come with
something new and true and strong in
their hands. Respecters of persons!
Why, how can an editor refuse n thing
which would create Il sensation and ac-
cept crude and worthless manuscript
instead? How can he do this, say,
merely to get to print the poem, the
essay, or the novel of favorite? Ed
tors and publishers are business men
II mt least average sagacity. They do
business TO make money, and you
may lie sure that they will buy
YOUR wares just as soon as your wares
are worth buying, but not Il day soon
er. OF course. no one editor or pub
Usher is the end of things; but when
you have gone the rounds with your
beloved creation under your arm, and
by common verdict you have been
repulsed, it is safe to begin to consider
whether, indeed, the thing is fit for pub,
licaton.
But there is another point in view.
Art-and especially literary art-has q
higher reward than money. 1t is its
own exceeding great reward, and !
hope it is this finer and sweetcr consid-
GRAFTON which most strongly draws us
toward it. Maurice Thompson TO the
association of american Authors.

,.ur odu,,orot;on of food question is

THE adulteration of food question is
again undergoing discussion. 1t Is
the periodical awakening of the peo-
ple on that vital subject, and 1t is TO
DO hoped this time those who favor
stringent legislation protecting the
lives and health of the masses against
all manner of vile compounds, that
now enter into the food supply in this
country, will not let it lapse into a
state of qnietude. There is already a
law on the statute books of Texas
upon this subject, which only needs
brushing up and investing with a
good sized penalty or two to render It
operative. 1t was passed by the seven
teenth Legislature, and could easily be
enforced by adding to il few pointed
amendments. The next Legislature
should hunt it up and put it in good
working order.

Humbugging a Necessity.

A physician once told me that part
of doctors income was derived from
attendance on people who had nothing
the matter with them, at least nothing
which mai,a a dose of medicine
necessary. Still, he said, it was the
custom among the medical fraternity
to prescribe in such an event some
harmless decoction, to look as II th-
case was serious. and then 70 render
the usual oil. Otherwise, he con-
sIrtled the alleged sufferer would be
very angry, change doctors and sim
ply continue the game. Ny friend as
signed various reasons for this
diosyncrasy. Some. he allowed, were
self-decevcd, some wished TO deceive
others, and some merely desired fir
tation with good-looking doctor.
The following trouble is somewhat
similar, and hardly more genuine; A
ieweler tells me that frequently
people come into his store, show him
their watches, and say that at
such time they stopped, that
such a thing has not happened for
years, and they can explain 1t
in no manner whatever. Up
on examination of the watches
nothing is found to be the matter with
them but simple need of winding.
He does not tell this, however, but
SAYS he will hold them day or two,
after which he sends them back with a
neat little bill for services rendered.
The same thing often happens in re-
gard to clocks People send down for
man to call and repair their clocks,
when they have merely neglected to
wind them. ST. Louis Spectator.

If the Democratic party cannot
elect Mr.. Cleveland president it can
not elect any one. To set him aside
would be an acknowledgement Of the
failure Of his administration. which
the party cannot afford TO make. and a
virtual invitation to the country to
turn the government over into other
hands,. The Republican party made
the mistake of setting Mr.. Arthur
aside to take up the more brilliant
and flashy Blaine, and thereby lost
control of the government. Ambi-
tious party leaders in the Democratic
ranks would no doubt like to see the
Democracy follow the Republican ex-
ample in Mr.. Cleveland's case, but the
Democracy win hardly commit such a
grave blunder.

Heavy Transcontinental Traffic.

NEW York, April "A Boston special to the
Evening Post says: "Advices from San Fran
cisco state that the passenger traffic has been of
immense volume recently, from twenty to TWEEN
ty-fve carloads Of passengers leaving Kansas
City for the West daily. One reason why the
Atchison road advanced rates was that it could
not get cars enough to handle the
business many passengers being often
obliged to stand as much as twenty hours at
time and the cars being crowded like street
cars. The Central and Southern Pacific roads
have pressed into service every old passenger
Car that could be found, and the Union Pacific
road are using emigrant cars which have been
sidetracked for ten years. The freight move
ment is quieted down somewhat, but is still
much heavier than usual. at this time of the
year.
