POLITICAL PLATFORMS.

In all our political literature the
platfol m is the lowest and most con-
temptible document. No voter any
longer values it for its sincerity, or
pays any heed to it except as a
curiosity OF adroit expression or
non-expression. Least of all do
those who framed it voluntarily pay
any heed to it when once adopted,
well knowing that, under present ar
rangements, no personal response
bility for it can be fixed. A party is
unlike reformatory association
for temperance, or abolition or wo-
mans rights. With the latter the
platform or resolutions mean some
thing, and are made effective by the
unce sing propaganda directed by
responsible boards elected annually.
A party on the other band, has no
such organization or propaganda,
and all its collective professions of
faith are evoked by approaching
elections, and tinctured, not by the
latest opinions of its constituency,
but by the fears and hopes of COP
portunist' leaders. 1t has no per-
nanent salaried corps Of lecturers
indoctrinating the electors from No
vember to November. Its recon-
mendations are not moral, but parti-
san. 1t is satisfied, not with a change
of conscience, but with a specified
vote. So disregarded is the plat
form that even candidates take their
stand upon it without Disgusting
their opposition to certain planks
apparently as solid and fundamental
as the rest. Yet this despised for
mula is the greatest obstacle to the
free pay of party organization on
living issues. 1t is forever beng
modified and expanded, not in the
development of the original princi-
piles OF the party, but in order to
maintain the organization even after
its work is done, In other words,
the platform is the main reliance of
the machine, which neither knows
nor will foresee a time when the
party shall naturally dissolve, to be
reconstructed on other lines, in COM
binarion with once hostile elements.

COOPERATIVE HOUSEKEEPING.

'In one of the suburbs of New
York city" says correspondent OF
the Springfield Union, "a little
colony OF fifteen families have COM
menced the experiment OF co-opera-
tive housekeeping. Their little
homes, veritable birds nests some of
them, face on a diminutive park, and
they have attempted to root out
some cf the ancient rulings of Gus
tom she who-must be- obeved,"
and form an ideal dwelling place.
The first thing to be star ted was
cooperative laundry, letting one set
of tubs, wringers, pins and lines do
the work for all the colony This
was a glittering success, and then
the fair projectors turned their at
tention to the next problem in social
economy. A dining hall was the
next thing needed, but this required
a club house, and more complicated
arrangements. However, all Difficult
ties were soon overcome, and a
modest three story Queen Anne
building was erected to meet the
needs of the colony Its upper floor
contains a small ballroom or lecture
hall. The second floor has billiard
and smoking rooms, while the first
floor is given over the cooperative
dining club, whose culinary work is
carried on in the basement kitchen.
Two ladies were chosen, one stew
ard, the other general manager. The
eward does the buying and attends
to the financial department; the man
ager is responsible for the bills of
fare, the hiring and superintendent
Cf servants, etc. Meals are served
either in the dining hall or at the
private cottages, IN which case an
extra charge is made. The dining
hall is of irregular shape, with plenty
of alcoves and bay window, in each
of which tables are set with a view
to semi-privacy for each family.
Daintily served meals, with an eye
to larger variety than would be
possible for each small family, is the
object in view. and it is believed the
experiment will be a decided success.
The object OF the trial was not to
coin money primarily, but to save
trouble and confusion. Board has
been fixed at 81 per week for each
adult, at which rate it bids fair to be
a paying investment.

MISS MUL0CK ON THE WRITING OF
NOVELS.
From the HOmdn'S HOrId.

From the HOmdn'S H'Orid.
1t may be interesting to relate some
of Mrs. Craik's opinions concerning
the construction of the novel. She
complained bitterly of the mama which
prevails OF indiscriminate novel writing
"From the law of cookery up-or down
Ito the law Of divorce, anybody who
thinks he has anything to say, says 1t
in three volumes, mashed up like hard
potatoes, in the milk and butter of fic-
tion." The was of opinion that eve
should never write at all unless we have
something to say" The following ex-
tract, taken from ber collection of es
says, entitled plain Speaking" gives
her own method in detail "What
other novelists do, | know not, but this
has been my way-ab 010. For con-
tend all stories that are meant to live
must contain the germ of life, the egg,
the vital principle. a novel with a
purpose may be intolerable, but a
novel without a purpose is more intol-
cradle still as feeble and haccid as a
man without a backbone. Therefore,
the first thing is TO fix on central idea,
like the spine of human being or the
trunk of tree. Yet, as nature never
leaves either bare, but clothes them
with muscles and flesh, branches and
foliage, SO this leading idea of his book
will be by the true author SO success
fully disguised as not to obtrude itself
objectionably; indeed, the ordinary
reader ought not even to suspect its
existence. Yet from it, this one prin
cipal idea, proceed all after erowths
the kind of plot which should best
develop it, the characters which must
work it out, the incidents which will
express these characters, even to the
conversations which evolve and de-
scribe these incidents, all are sequences
following one another IN natural order
even as from the seed-germ results sue
cessively the trunk, limb, branches,
twigs and LEAKAGE of tree.

clearly, shows that conscientiously
written novel is by no means piece OF
impulsive, accidental scribbling, but a
deliberate work of art ; that though in
one sense it is also a work of nature.
since every part enough to result from
and be kept subservient to the whole.
still, in another sense, it is the last thing
that ought to be allowed to say of itselt
like Topsy, 'Spects | growed.' If an
authors personaSes are strongly and
clearly defined to his own mind, he
knows that in whatever situations he
places them they must think, act and
speak in a certain way. Events develop
character-but character also moulds
action and events. Viewed thus, d

POVERTY VERSUS PROGRESS.
Seuafnr Stantord's Views as to its Cause and

Seuafnr stantord's Views as f" its Cause and
the remedy.
The Washington correspondent OF
the San Francisco Examiner reports
an interview with Senator Stanford in
which he asked the Senator:
'How would you abolish beggary?"
There is only one way" he said,
"Dry up the source-abolish the condi-
tions that make beggars. To try TO
cure poverty By street charity is like
trying 10 stop hole in your roof by
rnopping up the puddles that gather on
your floor"
l asked him if he would specify the
conditions.
eyes," he said, q can vaguely in
dicate them. Let me say, in the first
place, that it is not millionaires that
cause poverty, by good deal. No
body is worse off because the Wander
bits are worth $500, 100000. If they
mad not the wealth it would not exist
at all. 1t is only in this community
where milEonares are possible that the
average citizen has enough to eat. Now,
what causes poverty?
"First-Ignorance of how to save
money. | found beggars in California
in 1850, when any man could go out
with tin pan and earn S. before
breakfast. When, by working three
hours a day man could make his
board and clothes, there were always
shiftless creatures around whom the
rest had to support. 1t is the same
way now. The soil is wonderfully
fruitful there. Merely 20, 900 men pro-
duce all the wheat of the State and
export a million tons of it every year
and yet there are Deggars. We can
cut. thrash and sack wheat at an eX
pense of Ia cents hundred pounds
potatoes cost only half cent pound
and flour is only 81 a barrel, and yet
| there is want. An important cause is

economy or practice it, as almost every
rich man HIS had to at some time in
his life. | really believe that there would
be beggars IN the world before night
if $50 gold pieces were to be sown
broadcast every morning, and SO dis
tributed that every man, woman and
child were certain to get some.
"Second-The sale and use Of liquor
As long as there are ten times as many
saloons in this country as there are ol
both churches and schools, and they
are mainly supported by the very poor.
the sources of misery are pretty OBJ
vious.
"Third-A lack of manual training
This last need is most serious. If SC
many people could be taught trades
that the entire product of this country
were doubled next year, the wages
would be doubled, either in increase
OF money received or in the smaller
cost of the necessities of life TO be
bought. More capable skilled hands

subsistIng Upon Potatoes

The only people in the world who have
fallen into the grievous error of striving
30 subsist almost entirely upon potatoes
are the Irish, II cannot be doubted that
nearly or quite all the ills that trouble
unhappy Ireland are due 10 the humble
potato. The Irish are the meancst fed
people living In n civilized land Of which
we have any knowledge; they are in a
condition Of scmi-starvation, even when
In their highest prosperity.
Every visitor In Ireland is struck with
the ''pot bellied" appearance Of the ma
tlyes, men and women. This abnormal
distention Of the abdominal walls is due
10 the enormous amount Of potatoes they
are compelled 10 consume, in order 10
maintain a tolerable degree Of health.
II this people would quit the cultivation
Of the potato. and supply it5 place with
cereal grains, Ireland would soon become
