Cavil Over International Copyright

CaVll over international Copyright.
Should England adopt a reciprocal
measure before the first day Of July the
President can then, under the provisions of
the act recently passed by congress, declare
the international copyright law operative
between England and the United States.
But certain modification of British law
to which some very sturdy opposition is de-
veloping within the United Kingdom, will
become necessary before the act can be put
into full force and effect. Under the pres
emit English copyright law one must reside
upon British soil before copyright can be
obtained. OF course there would be no
such requirement under an international
law.
Many British authors and some pub
fishers favor the idea Of meeting the United
States upon fair and equal footing in the
matter. But the whole affair is primarily
and chiefly a fight between publishers of
expensive standard works, who want to get
tirmer grasp upon their market and
crowd out the smaller publishers. In the
general result the author may incidentally
derive more or less benefit That much
good makes the law a desirable one
But the chief fight upon the act is yet 10
come. As might have been expected. it is a
commercial one, in which the authors of
neither England nor America have any sort
of interest. It is the manufacturing clause
that was inserted by the Pedagogical ele-
ment as a bait to the labor leaders who are
always anxious to impress their followers
with their vigilant usefulness. This clause
requires that copyright shall only be ais
lowed upon books printed from type set up
in the United States. That inspires En-
glish printers to retaliate in kind. There
the fight rests. It ia contest for percunlary
advantage between the book and paper
makers of England and America, which
can only result in some damage to both
They can manage to curtail the output of
books even though they do not contrive to
monopolize the trade on either side.
Should they manage TO settle their differ
ences before the end of this month the act
can be made operative. Otherwise the
whole programme will have to be gone
through over again. British authors ap-
pear willing enough to enter the compact
upon equal terms with Americans, but.
like the latter. they have very little to say
in the matter. Still they may all be
eventually benefited, and if they are the
international copyright law will prove a
great gain.

Hebrew rabbis in New York are imam

Hebrew rabbis in New York are inau-
gurating a strong crusade for the more
uniform and general observance Of the
Hebrew Sabbath. But it doesn't seem
reasonable that they are likely to meet with
much success. As the institutions of this
country are uniformly based upon the
Christian Sabbath as day of rest and wor-
ship, and the Jews do not control these in
situations. they will find themselves COM

For the Hebrews are essentially a CONNER

request of their priests is next to impossible

Boston Money in South Carolina.


There are few men in Boston who, il the
Traveller, Of that city, is TO be believed,
think 1t is their mission to break up the
solid south At the head of them is ex-Gov.
Long, and they boast that they did a great
deal toward bringing about the split in the
democracy whish occurred last year, aud
which resulted in making Tillman governor
and Irby senator.
1t Is probable that the story that Boston
influence and money helped to divide the
democrats of South Carolina into two fac
lions would never have been known il the
Traveller had not told it, and it is far from
certain that it has any foundation. There
were plenty Of reasons for the division out
side of any effect that Boston money and in
fluence may have had.
But assuming that Boston money and in
fiuence did help to divide the democrats,
what was accomplished that could give sat-
isfaotion 10 the Boston men who supplied
the money? The men who got control of the
state are just as firmly democratic as those
who lost control of it. Gov. Tillman aud his
friends would not admit for a moment that
they are not as good democrats as Gen.
Hampton and his friends. 1t is difficult to
see, therefore, what reason the Boston men
have for rejoicing.
But it seems they think they accomplished
great deal toward destroying the Demo-
cratic party in South Carolina, and, there
fore, propose to make another trial during
the next campaign They hope to accom-
plish what they are aiming at through the
alliance
Ex-Gov. Long will direct the work from
his Boston Office and Mr.. J. Hendrix Lane
will execute it at his headquarters in Co
lumbia. 1t is understood that Mr.. Lane
will have the handling of a good deal of
money. but it is not stated how he is going
to place it SO that it will do the most good.
He will not find that his money will be
very effective with the democrats. There
are ways, Of course, In which he can dis
tribute it, but at election time he will find
the democrats going to the polls shoulder to
shoulder and voting the democratic ticket.
There will be no protest against the efforts
OF the Boston men to break the solid south
with money. but they will get rid of their
money without having any reason to feel
that they have accomplished anything.

WHITCOMB AND BRIGGS.
Rev. w. p. Mckee Says They Are
Gentlemen and Scholars.


Rev. William p. Mckee last evening
at the Olivet Baptist church, asked the
question:: "Are Whitcomb and Briggs
contemplate spies?" He said he
walked through the city one Sunday
last summer, and found the saloons car
rying on business. Many saloonkeep-
erS have keen fined 500 each, through
the work of three men, and more would
be in court this week.
Are these three men spies?'
A spy's business is contemplate.
The city takes upon itself the work of
spy, and hires officers to do the work,
but they are not called spies. The law
is detiantly disObeyed by saloOnkeepers,
and the police for months have failed TO
make an arrest. They are obeying
orders. 1t is bad to have a law, especi-
ally good one, disobeyed and a dead
letter. Everybody, except the saloon
keeper, believes the saloon should be
closed on Sunday, and the newspapers
believe it. When the laws are ignored
what can be done? We might impeach
the officials if it were less clumsy and
not so slow; or we might agitate
but for the little effect it would have on
men bound 10y pledges made before cleo
ton; or we might remain quiet and
allow people 10 De damned every Sun
day. There is only one way, and that
is to take hold and enforce the law.
These three men who have collected
testimony against the salOonkeepers are
not spies. They risk their business and
lives, as the liquor oligarchy will muir
der. All remember Haddock in Iowa
and Campbell in Mississippi. All good
citizens should help them, until they are
finally successful in abating this horrid
evil, that would be thought so if it
reached into our families.''

A CHRISTMAS SERMON.
Rev. William Wilkinson on the
Teachings of Jesus.


Teachings of Jesus.
In st. Andrews church yesterday
morning the rector, speaking of the
teachings of Christ, said:
The birth of Christ looked at in any
light was one of the most remarkable
and far-reaehinG events which ever took
place in the world. At that time sys-
tens of philosophy and of morals,
which had become hOary with age,
which held sacred places in the hearts
of multitudes of men because of historic
associations, filled the greater part of
tie thinking minds of that day. If
aEy one had then said to the
philosophers that in manger
in stable in Bethlehem there lay a
baby who would, in less than thirty
three years. though the son of Door peo-
pie and living in town full of wicked
ness. surrounded by circumstances
against his rising to influence and
power, lay down principles which would
cast all thinking and ali b0asted knOwl-
edge into the shade, into an
oblivion out of which it would
never again rise. With what ridi-
Guile and laughter, with what
ineffable contempt it would have
been greeted. Yet the half would not
hdhC UCCll lOius n CAREFUL I6dQlng OF
We fonr gospels will show that the
1eachings of this king of men. who
hailed from Nazareth, are not limited
by time and distance conditions: are not
clrcumscrlbed by geographical limlta-
tons, or bounded by mere class dis
tinctiOnS. They strike deep into the
heart of things. They go to the very
foundations of morals, of human eX-
perience. They are just as applicable to
the president Of great republic or to
king as they are to a man who is so
poor or infirm that he has to beg his
daily bread. The teachings of this
Saviour deal effectively with the most
subtle. deep and perpleXing questions
which ever have, or which ever can,
engage the attention or destroy the Joy
Of mankind. In eternal realities he deals.
and in dealing with them takes radical
measures, Which are as effective as
thorough, which deal with the present
and with the eternal good of all
who accept in good faith the teach
ing. 1t is with the affections, the heart,
out OF which conduct proceeds, that he
deals; hence no system, no philosophy,
no moral ccde which is intended to reg
uiate the life of man, ever has sue
ceeded, or ever can. which dOas not pro-
vide for the regeneration of the heart,
plies have come, filled their part
and gone; the geography of
the world has been almost en-
Jirely changed; the tests placed
upon the teachings of this carpenter,
prophet, teacher have been severe, but
they have ever proved their claim in the
hearts, lives and deaths of each and
every person who has with trustful
hand followed them. The gospel of
Jesus Christ has changed, and it is
changing the face of the moral world.
Much remains to be done, for Jesus did
not come to place moral dynamite under
the evils which he found in the world.
Progressive change is the order of nature
generally it is the method of grace.
But Christ did lay down principles
which would as truly change the moral
world as the sun dispels the darkest
night and covers the hills with the
beauty of light''

W. c. Edgar, primarily, belongs all the
credit for taking steps to relieve the
Russians. 1t is quite likely that the
Kansas and Nebraska gentlemen will
come to see the matter in this light and
send what they have to send with the
Miller's shipload. That is mauifestly
the best way for all concerned.
There is some misunderstanding as
10 when this flour will be shipped, says
Mr.. Edgar. Il see that some of the con-
trlbutors to the southwest of us are
talking of being ready to ship
by Jan. ID. This is out of the
question. If they ship their cornmeal
at that time it will surely spoil. The
railroads are blocked with freight be-
tween here and the East, and railroad
managers will not clear their roads of
paying freight for the benefit of dead
head freight. Then when the meal ar
rives at New York it may have to lie on
the docks for one, two or three weeks
a month, perhaps. 1t will spoil in the
meantime.
"NO.if we are able to ship by the mid
die OF February shall be satisfied. l am
told that March is the worst month in
Russia. If the poor people over there
are hard up now they will be worse in
March. So there is no danger of the
flour getting there too late, even if de-
layed until April or until the 1st of
May"

1.-THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. "
Rev. g. L.. Morrill, Takes a Little
Shy at Sir Edwin Arnold.

a
Shy at Sir Edwin Arnold.
Thsse who went to Calvary Baptist
church last night, attracted by the text
Light of the World" and expecting to
hear Sir Edwin Arnold and his theories
advanced in his poem Light of Asiar
torn asunder, were probably disap-
pointed, as there was but slight allusion
TO the disciple of Buddha and his
teachings; but those who went to hear
the sermon and learn what they could
from it must have been gratified. as
Rev. DIR. Morrill, preached an eloquent
and, for him, a st ereotyped sermon.
with Christianity for its basis.
He characterized the writings and
teachings of Sir Edwin Arnold as pagan
ism. saying that the light of Asia.
Africa, America, Europe and of the
whole world was Jesus. He showed
that the light of the world, which is
Jesus, had elevated the condition of
wOmanhood from almost the level of a
beast, to be trodden and trampled upon,
to that of the wife, the mother and the
sister. He also held that this light of the
world had elevated art and argued that
Jesus had inspired Michael Angelo to
carve statues, Raphael to paint pictures
and Bach TO compose music. He called
the attention of his congregation to the
fact that this was the last Sunday night
of the year and to the significance of
this season. He referred to the mis-
takes and untoWard occurrences of the
past year, and to the trials and troubles
which had come to many who sat before
him, and reminded them that they were
one year nearer the grave and he hoped
one year nearer salvation.
In conclusion he talked torcibly and
eloquently on the Subject of Christian
ity.
