a GHTEn YOUNG FELLOW of the name OF
BOX, who complies syndicate letters on
a variety Of trivial and Insignificant quos-
tions has been getting himself into hot
water recently. He selects, for example,
a topic of such moment as Views Of the
Next World" or "What the Coming Novel
is to BE, or something equally thrilling,
and then he writes 10 number of people
celebrated in literature or public life ask
ing them for expressions Of opinion.
Some reply briefly, others dismiss the
subject in a oontemptuous line or two,
hut IL makes no difference to Box. lie
amplifes the line or two into column
and be supplies the silent ones with opin-
ions out Of whole cloth, Naturally the
water in Mr. BoK's neighb0Thood Is heat
iug lie is altogether too able.

As SOON AS THE BRILLIANT paragrapher
gets through with his attempt to show
that Mr. HARRISON is jealous of Mr.. BLAINE
because Mr.. BLAINE has got ahead of him
in the reciprocity matter, perhaps he'll
sit down quietly for an hour or two aud
consider whether Mr.. BLAINE is an inde-
pendent force in this Administration, or
whether Mr.. HARRisoN is it's head, an I,
therefore, responsible for all its acts. The
brilliant paragrapher needs rest for his
mind. He has fuddled himself with the
idea that Mr., HARRISON and Mr.. BLAINE
are rivals IN the conduct of the Govern
ment, aud that Mr.. BLAINE can inaugu-
rate policies without Mr. HAEBIsoN's ap-
proval. The result of the paragraphers
adumbrations are ingenious and interest
ing, but they are not valuable as oontri-
buttons to the people stock of knowledge.
What he wants is less bnllaney and more
sense.
