An Important Official.

A most important parsonage in mag
zine work is called the reader" To
him Is submitted all manuscripts sent
for publication. and his opinion of their
merits largely influences the editorial
decision. The editor may occasionally
read some of them, but he has little
time for such work; so the manuscript
under consideration goes first to one
reader, and then to another, and per-
haps third. They do not sit together
like a legislative committee, or jury.
They may not be known to each other !;
but the editor receives from each writ
ten opinion about the article, in which is
embodied usually graphic description
OF it's plot, style, and various qualities, TO-
gether with an account of its upshot or
conclusion. With these documents in
hand he can decide whether he wishes to
use the article, and decide intelligently
without having read himself a para
graph of it. Ii he has, as it frequently
happens, marked division of opinion
to reconcile, he may allot it to special"
reader, stating or Withholding, as he
chooses, this fact; or he may think it
important enough to dip into it far
enough to see for himself why any diff
ference in judgment should exist. But
whatever is done, he is himself the
court of appeals. and no doubt balances
sometimes by mere ounce of evidence
or persuasion the fate of the article.
This careful scrutiny is observed mainly
when manuscript is submitted by writ
ers unknown to fame. When a story
comes from the pen of well-tried au-
thor, the readers JUNCTION is merely
formal, as the editor has committed
himself in advance to use the story
ordered, and knows its writer's name
alone will make it successful. The
reader calls at the Office for his bundle
of manuscripts to read, or has them
sent to him. But he keeps as SHADY
as detective, and makes quite as many
discoveries as one of that fraternity
does. Many articles sent for inspection
have no merit whatever, and are not
even shaped to presentahle form; fol
there is mass of would-be writer's al
ways arising who do not consider au
thorship profession, and who suppose
that ink and paper being given, they
can surely prepare what the editor is
eagerly waiting for. It is only the
writer who does and can get his worl
printed, who feels any doubt of hi
articles acceptance.

Gratitude Counts Not Cost.

Nobody knows how much money the
dependent pension bill will take from the
National Treasury, for there are no data
on which to make an estimate. lt will
be o very large amount, but the feeling
is that the money is moral debt to the
men who risked their lives in the service
of their country; that payment has been
delayed too long already; that the coun-
try is rich and can afford to pay, and that,
therefore, it should begin to discharge its
debt as soon as possible. In doing this
the United States sets an example to all
the other nations of the world. It takes
care of its veterans after they have be-
come unable to fight, and provides for
them. not merely because they became
incapacitat ed in its service, but because
it owes them debt of gratitude for what
they did for it. And as they risked not
only their lives but the happiness and
livelihood of those dependent on them,
SO the nations gratitude extends to their
widows and orphans and their dependent
parents. In other countries disabled vet
Grams sometimes receive small pension
and sometimes an asylum when they have
no homes of their own, but nowhere q
pension like this, simply for services
rendered. and nowhere is provision made
for their families.
The country owes everything to it's citi-
zen soldiers, and it is paying them hon.
estly, without stopping to count the cost.

SINCE the close of the civil war many
of the colored people of the South have
prospered greatly and one case, at least,
is on record where a former slave and
now Senator supports his former mis-
tress who is now pauper. Although
all over the South many wealthy col
ored men are found, Texas is the place
which has witnessed their most signal
success. A Mr.. Sylvester, of Calves
ton, is worth $3.50, 900 and his wife en-
plores none but white servants. Syl-
vester got his money by shrewd specu-
lation. Milton Sterreth, of Houston, is
the possessor of an elegant mansion and
extensive grounds planted with the
finest shrubbery and flowers. He owns
numerous plantations and is worth
100000. Senator @. N. Burton, of Fort
Bend County, is worth $5OO,000. At
the close of the war when he was freed
from slavery he acquired, by strict APP
plication to business, small farm.
This he has added to constantly until
he became wealthy. His old mistress
became poor and when Mr.. Burton was
elected to the State Senate he sent her
hack to her native State, Virginia. For
the past fifteen years he has RENTED
$3.50 per month. Henry Black is worth
half million and another man named
Green, of Pecos County, has 100000
| to his credit.

Congress, who were elected by 461. 1897

tieth, Twenty third, Twenty fifth,
Twenty sixth, Twenty seventh, Twen-
ty-eighth, and Thirty fourth = gave
each of them more votes to its Repre-
sentative than Georgia gave to her dele
cation OF ten; and SO this suggestive conn
parison might be extended through the
list Of all the Northern States. The
startling inequality Of Congressional
representation is even greater now than
it was before the war, and the Solid
South remains as largely the gamer in
this important matter as she became
through the readjustment Of the labor
question within her borders. It is no
wonder she ostentatiously declares that
she would not have her slaves returned
to her if she could. She was compelled
in the ante bellum days to feed and clothe
her slaves and also to provide for them
comfortable living quarters, whereas at
the present time the former owner is
completely relieved from these heavy
burdens and is even enabled to defr aud
them indirectly of large share of their
hard-earned wages and crop profits.
