Post Master General Wanamaker's
Report.


The report of the Post Master
General is as usual full of interest to
the public, the post Office most
directly concerning the whole public
more than any other department of
the government. That portion of the
report which treats the telegraph and
telephone as properly part of the
post Office machinery will be likely
to have the most interest for persons
who are investigating on lines which
proposes to check the power and
absorption of the wealth of the
country by giant corporations. Mr..
Wanamaker's recommendations that
the government should lay hold of
the telegraph and telephone with the
tips of its fingers while leaving the
octopus in full power to suck the
wealth of the people into it's insatr.
able stomach will meet with little
favor among the people, who want
no more divided authority by the
government with corporations. The
enormous profits gathered in by the
telegraph monopoly which Mr..
Wanamaker points out will startle
those who have not been in the habit
of investigating such subjects. The
following paragraph quoted from the
Postmaster Generals report will
serve to throw a fash light on the
magnitude of this colossal monopoly
"There is more benefit" says the
report "to be derived from the incor-
poration of the telegraph as part of
the postal service, than from all the
tast railroad service that can be
gained in the next twenty years.
This fact should be sufficient to de-
termine the course Congress ought to
pursue in losing no unnecessary time
intaking charge of the entire telegraph
and telephone monopoly and turning
their advantages over to the people,
but nothing of the sort need be ex'
pected till the hired attorneys and
agents of the corporation are replac-
ed in congress by representatives of
the people. At present the people
are not represented by this law max
ing body. 1t is the servant of the
millionaires.

The Columbian HISTORICAL Novels

Vol. Ill, St. Augustine A Story of thu
Huguenots in America. By John R
Musick. BIG pp., with Index. illustrated
with twenty-five full page half.tone en-
cravings and other illustrations. Cloth
limo, gold stamps, etc. $l.50. New York
London and Toronto: Funk & Wagnall'
Company.
The romantic charm with which John 4
Musick succeeded in investing the first two
volumes of the Columbian Historical Novels
is admirably sustained in "St. Augustine, -
the third of the series. This work covers
the period of the establishment of ST.
Augustine. the oldest town in the United
States, the period corresponding to the
Reformation in Europe and the fierce per-
secution of the early Reformers. The
murder of the Huguenots who had sought a
home in Florida constitutes the chief his
torical episode of the work.
The author, in the preface, calls attention
to the fact that historians have paid very
little attention to this period, or, at least, /,
have given it but little space in their works.
Very little can be learned from the great
histories of the Huguenot influence exerteo
in Florida, and of the persecution that
followed these devoted people even to the
New World. This volume especially sets
forth these almost unknown or at least,
unwritten facts. The illustrations are
numerous and in keeping with the high
character Of the book. They Tighten up the
text with graphic and striking influence
calculated more strongly to impress upon
the memory the fact and fiction of the vol.
ume, both of which are alike good and
wholesome for readers young or old.
The romance of the volume is, again,
centered in an Estevan, a grandson of
fernando Estevan, who accompanied Co.
lnmbus on his voyage of discovery. This
Francisco Estevan was dedicated by his
parents 10 the priesthood of the Church.
He went to Spain to pursue his studies.
After time, he started with other pious
men on pilgrimage to Rome, but was
on the coast of France, and was
rescued from an ocean grave BY Hortense de
Barre, a Huguenot maiden, whom he learn
ed 10 love, but from whom he fed in horror
on learning that she was hereto. Return
ing to Cuba he was made prisoner by French
pirates and taken to the Huguenot settle
ment In Florida, where he, in turn. saved
Hortenss de Barre from death, in the mas
sacre in which nearly the whole Huguenot
colony perished. The many facts 10 the
history of this period are emphasized by the
real men and women, manifesting the real
of human beings. Or, in
other words, musty history is transformed
into actual life. The actions of men and
women lend an interest to, and impress his
torical facts, which are often overlooked or
sighted because they are generally stated
in language that almost removes them from
the arena of every day life-bald, historical
facts. separated from the humanity that
makes them real. The Columbian Histor-
ical Novels are books of a high order and
should be widely circulated. They can be
safely and pro6tably read, especially by
the young of both sexes.

Cheap Labor or Robbed Labor ?

| SASSR AtsNSA VA AeS0000 ASOS4
There has been for several years g
loud outcry against the cheap labor
and pauper labor Of Europe by Ger.
tain class Of politicians whose patri
tion patrons are mostly intent on
robbing labor at home. Would the
complaint not have a more intelligent
expression if it was changed to
''robbed" labor /? The robbery OF
labor by class laws In Europe is the
cause of this pauper emigration
which threatens to inundate this
country; and the men with their
subsidized newspapers, organized
this deluge Of pauper labor, vicious
element from the south Of Europe,
to take the places of Americans who
refused to be driven to the same
wage condition which has filled
Europe with the vicious and pauper
population that is flying to this
country in search of some refuge
from the horrible expressions they
suffer at home. The degraded
beings who have been forced down to
the plane of the brutes had at some
period in history as noble ancestry
as our American population, and
have been brought to their present
condition by the same system of
class laws which is turning the steps
of our working people into the path
which has led these poor European
wretches down to the gulf of despair
and an existance without hope. The
between our proud, high
stepping American citizens and them
is not a difference in kind but in
time only if present conditions re
main unchanged. And a change from
these conditions is being fought by
the daily monopoly press with all the
might they can command. The
daily press as at present conducted
is the uprooter of the peoples morals
and menace to their liberties.
