those of the present. Calm observation

w. ]. ST1LLMAN, in the Atlantic
Monthly, thinks there is not room
enough in any man-unless he be
one of the meteoric exceptions which
prove the rule-for both journalism
and literature. Right you are,"
Mr.. Stillman. The newspaper man
who does his full duty to his paper
has no time to become literary light.
If he dabbles much in literature his paper
will suffer. If he attempts to give his
newspaper high classical tone it will
lack directness, fail to reach the mass of
readers, and become magazine or re-
view. The proprietor of paper who is
not dependent upon his ability as a
writer may indulge his tastes and in
clinations to swim in dramatic construc-
ton or mount a library shelf, and thus
mingle literature and journalism. But
the newspaper writers who grind their
grist daily, must do so as such, and with
no drifting. Literature demands leisure
scholarly research and something of
classical tastes. Leisure is the one thing
the newspaper writer has not. If he
keeps abreast with current news, State
questions and world topics, and treats
them plainly, directly, forcibly, he does
all he should do. Not that style, chaste,
cultivated and elegant style, should not
be striven for; not that there shall be no
fine writing, no philosophical thinking, no
elegant diction in the newspapers, and
from the rushing, grinding newspaper
man. But these accomplishments do
not put him into the field of literature.
The literary men who have been success
full editors are few enough to prove that
they are exceptions. We agree to the
letter with Mr. Stillman that if ambitious
youth wishes to shine in literature it will
find no time upon a good, lively, abreast
the-world newspaper in which to trim
its lamp.

CAMILLE PELLETAN. distinguished
legislator of France, in a late essay has
expressed his profound conviction that
another Franco-German war is inevita-
BILE. This, because France has not and
viii not forgive the wrenching of Alsace-
Lorraine from her, and those provinces
will continue to prick all France to
snatch them back. He contends that all
France is responsive to this desire of the
Alsatians and their neighbors. Hence,
when the fair opportunity offers the
cause of offense will be given, and war
will at once follow. 1t is only ques-
ton OF time, in his opinion, and it must
be admitted that NJ. Pelletan is q high
authority upon the question Of the senti-
ment of the French upon all political
questions.

THE PER CAPITA ARGUMENT.

An editorial in the Century Magazine
disposes of the delusion that there is
something potential in the per capita ar
gument used by the free silver men. 1t
is argued by these devotees of single
financial idea that many people want
more money than they have, and the
reason that they have it not is that there
is not enough to go around; that if all
there is were divided equally the per
capita sum would be small smaller than
in England, Germany or France. The
conclusion is jumped at that if more sill
yer were coined everyone would have
more money in his pocket. The Century
goes to work in few terse sentences to
LAY out" this idea. 1t says:
The fundamental defect in the argument is
that it confounds small circulation with small
distribution. The trouble is not that the cir
culation is small, but that so many people
fail TO get much OF 1t. If the circulation were
to be doubled, or trebled, or quadrupled, what
reason is there for believing that the people
who have least at present would have any
more? How would they go To work to get
some of the increase into their pockets? This,
as we said many months ago in one OF our
earlier articles in this cheap-money series is
the crucial question in all schemes for MAX
ing money cheap and plentiful. How can
man who wants some of it obtain it except he
give labor or goods in return for it? If he
have labor or goods to sell, does it make any
difference to him whether the volume of cur
rency be large small? Is it not always
large enough to furnish payment for what he
has TO sell? And if he has anything to SELL
would not he rather receive his payment In
dear money than in cheap money? Was
there q tr hp
paid for his wares in the soundest and best
money obtainable? Who are the men who
hope, in some mysterious manner, to get
money into their pockets through great
issue of cheap money by the Government?
Are they not. almost Invariably, men who
have nothing to sell in exchange for it?

extension of the s. A. & A. p. railroad to-

Cur ey, Ross and Gurley, of Waco,
against the road and at one time thought
to have been settled in this county.
