piness and honor from such q name. I
am SO very far away from you that I

am not sure that apprehend very
well your apparent premise, 1.-THE ma

some clearing up before should be

suggestive or helpful word.
To tell the truth can't help think
ing that we already talk too much
about the novel. about and around it,
in proportion to the quantity of it hav-
ing any importance that we produce.
What should say to the nymphs and
SWANS who propose TO converse about
it under the great trees at Deerfield is:
''Oh, do something from your point
of view; an ounce OF example is worth
ton of concentrations; do some
thing with the great art and the great
form; do something with life. Any
point of view is interesting that is q
direct impression Of life.
You each have an impression col.
ored by your individual conditions;
make this into a picture, a picture
framed by your own personal wisdom,
your glimpse of the American world.
The field is vast for freedom, for
study, for observation, for satire, for
truth" l don't think l really do know
what you mean by Undertaking
tendencies" any more than should
by 'spiritualizing" or "etherealizing."
There are no tendencies worth any
thing but to see the actual or the inn
aginative, which is just as visible, and
to paint it. l have only two little
words for the matter remotely APP
preaching to rule or doctrine; one is
life and the other freedom. Tell the
ladies and gentlemen, the ingenious
inquirers, to consider life directly and
closely, and not to be put off with
mean and puerile falsities, and TO be
conscientious about it 1t is infinitely
large, various and comprehensive.
Every sort of mind will find what it
looks for in it, whereby the novel be-
comes truly multifarious and illustra-
tive.
That is what I mean by liberty; give
it its head and let it range. If it is in
bad way, and the English novel is,

can refresh it and restore its self re-

Athletic Sports Growing In Popularity.

Athletic Sports Growing In Popularity.
Baseball, horse racing, yachting,
rowing, sparring, and q number OF
other mani y diversions divide the at
tention of the whole people, but few
failing to have their sympathies enlist
ed in one or the other of these pas
times. A proper degree Of attention
paid to all sorts of manly sports, and
to athletics especially, will do much to
promote health and contentment
among the people, and will moreover
serve to gradually modify one of the
most pronounced and not particularly
admirable traits in the American char
acter, namely, too absorbing appli-
cation to strictly commercial matters.
This all absorbing rush after gain has
kept in allegiance many of the more
attractive traits of the American char
acter, hence it is matter for congra-
tulation that there is a growing ten
dency towards giving more time to
healthful amusement and manly exer-

ABSENTEEIsaI.


The Astor family have accumulated couple
of hundred million dollars in the United
States and now propose to make England their
place OF residence. A contemporary sees in
this disposition Of rich Americans to spend
their money in Europe an argument in favor
of the so-called Henry George theory of no
ownership in land. The Astors made their
money through tire rise in land values. They
are not known in recent years TO have been
engaged i'll other business than renting
buildings and investing their surplus rev.
euues in real estate. But there are other
rich men who have made their money in
other ways. Mr.. John w. Mackay made
his money in mines; Jay Gould made his in
railroads; the Roekefellers have made theirs
in refining oil; Claus Spreckels made his in
sugar. five are to assume that there should
be no ownership in land because the Astors,
after getting rich through land owning, pro-
pose to spend their income in Europe. will
not tile same argument apply TO property in
mines, in railroads, in oils and in sugar?
Mrs. Mackay, whose husband became very
rich man through ownership in mines, has
lived in Europe for the past twelve years.
Very likely the other rich men we have men
toned, and others whom we have not men,
toned, will in the second or third genera
ton, take up their homes in Europe. The
social drift is from new countries to old ones.
In new countries there is no idle class ex
cept tramps; in old countries idleness is cuI-
'tivated as an art Methods are devised by
which idle time may be spent pleasantly
There are more people engaged in that pur-
suit in old countries than in new ones. Idle
ness is regarded as the ideal life in old coun-
tries. and as hardly respectable in new ones.
The present head of the Astor family tried
some years ago TO represent the district in
which he lived in Congress The people of
his district would not have him. They did
not think that man who lived on his rents
and spent most of his time in Europe was
proper representative of their interests.
Absenteeism is an evil that will probably be
the subject of legislation. The principle
upon which such legislation may properly be
based will aim TO let the man go aud keep his
money in this country. The individuals are
not missed, but the drain of money caused by
their departure is as proper subject for legis-
lation as the drain caused by an alien work
ing class.

wHArTHE ALLIANCE MEANS.

To state the objects of the Farmers ALI
ance in few words would be something
like the following: To elect honest men
TO office, MEN who will neither steal nor
waste the money received by taxation; to
put an end to the purchase and sale Of Off
cial positions; to reduce taxation 10 the
lowest possible figure consistent with the
public good; to aid in Kidding the country
of trusts and combinations. which are fast
swallowing up the earnings OF the people,
farmers and all other classes; to put an end
to exorbitant railroad charges, which are
absorbing the products of farms. orchards,
aud labor generally. The Farmers Alli-
ance, of course, will not elect the agents OF
corporations to the important Offices OF the
country. Perhaps seine individuals may at
first try to commit the alliance TO projects
which, if submitted to, woHld involve divi-
sions; but such can obtain but monentary
bold upon the organization. If the Farmers
Alliance will purify politics by electlnS
honest men 10 Office, ii will have dons a
great work. Add to this, if it should obtain
reasonable freight charges upon railroads.
not liable TO changes according to the ca
prices of the men " no for the moment hap
pen to have control it will accomplish an
other important work. 1t is certain that
the interests of the Farmers Alliance Will
lie in the directi' of greatly reduced taxa
ton, and that it Will not favor boss or cor
rupt rule under any circumstances.

Apo RTlONMENT

Chairman Dunnel of the House Census
Committee proposes to reduce the ratio of
one member to 1S0, coo people, so as to secure
about $50 members. There is even talk, he
SAYS, of gradual increase of membership up
to eco. The fact that the English House of
Commons is composed of from 600 TO 700
members is cited as an argument in favor
of larger House. MIR. Dunnell says none
of the States like to lose members. People
seem to have an idea that Slate has influ-
ence in Congress and standing among States
in proportion to the number of representa-
tives it is entitled to. We conceive this
to be a mistaken idea. If the number OF
representatives should be reduced the rela-
tive strength of a single State would remain
the same. The work of the House is now
pretty much ali done by about fifty old mem
beers. Two-thirds of the members hardly
know what is going on except perhaps when
an impOrtantyote is being taken. They vote
as tie leaders of the party with which they
act tell them 10 vote. The work of legisa-
ton is done in committees and by a few ex-
perienced members who have learned their
business. A single representative of conl-
mandng ability will give a State higher
standing than several commonplace repre-
sentatiyes. The best thing that can be said
in favor of numerous delegation is that out
OF the larger number there is a better chance
of sitting out one big man. But under the
methods of nomination which now prevail
the big man of district is not likely to get
a nomination unless he has also big purse.
Many promising man has been passed by
because he could not make the contribution
to the Campaign Fund which the managers
insisted upon having.

FREE COINAGE.

A Washington dispatch says that there
will be a determined effort made at the COM
ing session of Congress to establish free
coinage, 1t is expected that one of the adyo-
Gates of free coinage will attach provision
to this effect to one of the Appropriation
bills An extra session of Congress is pre-
dieted as one of the possible results OF an
attempt to establish free coinage in this in
direct way, the expectation evidently being
that the Appropriation Bill TO which free
coinage provision is attached will fail. tits
hardly probable that the friends of tree
coinage will resort to such extreme methods
of legislation If free coinage comes by the
free action Of Congress and the Executive
Department no very serious cons, quenceS
will probably result, but laws passed by the
indirect method of attaching amendments to
Appropriation bills are not regarded as a
free expression of the will of the people,

COLLISION CHARGED.
The Extraordinary Sale of the Tn
Pope's Cargo in the Arctic.

The Extraordinary Sale of the Thos.
Pope's Cargo in the Arctic.
Argument in the Thos Pope wreck case,
instituted by w. Ii. Kelley, Wright, Bovine
& Co. and others against Samuel Foster and
others and part of the cargo Of the Oscar
and Hattie, which the plaintiffs claim was
fraudulently sold by Captain Fisher of the
Thos. Pope after the wreck, was terminated
yesterday afternoon in the United States
District Court before Judge Hoffman.
When the vessel was wrecked in the
breakers off Point Hope. in The Arctic Sea,
on July Is. 1888, she was deserted by the
crew and officers and survey was held.
The surveyors were Captain Sherman of the
William Lewis ana Captain Fisher. The
former bought the hull for S25 and the
cargo for $500, Notwithstanding that the
value Of the hull was about 5000 and the
bone and oil, which constituted tho cargo,
was worth over $4,000. The cargo was
then transferred to the William Lewis and
afterward TO the Oscar and Hattie
The grounds put forth by the owners in
their suit are that the seller and purchaser,
who constituted the Board of Survey and
condemned the hull and cargo, were in col
fusion. The evidence deduced on this point
showed the sale to have been affected with
out notice to probable bidders and within
six hours after the survey was held.
In reviewing the case the Court commented
upon the strange manner in which the sale
had been carried on, and upon the fact that
the Board OF Survey was so closely interested
in the transaction. Argument on the juris-
diction OF masters of vessels over their
cargoes will be heard next Monday.
