TriVialities in Journalism.

An American newspaper. reprints from
an English publication four columns,
small type, of an article about Queen
Victoria's dolls. The American snob who
reprints it is only shade worse than the
snob who first spread the fapdoodle be-
fore the British public. The American
paper ticks the boots of royalty with
smack, and publishes the statement of
the boot licking writer that cher mai
esty was pleased to revise the copy of
the article and correct mistakes in foot
notes, at the same time being graciously
pleased to give every facility for photo
graphing her dolls" Why can we not
have some photographs and newspaper
page about the Prince of Wales bibs?
1t would be really inspiring if some
could be resurrected, stained with the
true British raspberry jam. The thrill
that would wave down the backbone of
our great New York newspapers at the
sight of it would be truly edifying.
They make very merry over country
journalism, with its friendly personal
tiles about our wife and ourself, but
when the country newspaper announces
with all solemnity that Hiram Willis is
keeping company pretty regularly with
Susan Curd how much worse is it really
than when the metropolitan sheet gives
half column to the story of the en-
gagement of Miss Van Strutter and Mr..
Rhinelander Knickerbocker Dude? The
country sheet really shows the better
taste of the two, for it announces in a
baldheaded, plain way in three lines
what deserves no more than three lines
If indeed it ought to be in print at ALL
1t is the age of the trivial in journal
ism. A deluge of matter that is not
even interesting as idle gossip is pour
ing upon a public without cessation.
When it comes to describing queens
dolls and dudes stockings or an ac-
tress' bed sheets the boundary of the
merely vulgar is crossed and that of the
idiotic is entered The true object of
journalism is threefold - information.
instruction and entertainment. All these
are helpful to the person who buys the
paper.
If thought comes to him that will
make life easier and happier, that will
amuse him, or that will widen his know
ledge of public affairs, he welcomes it.
1t is not true that the reading public
wants the contemplate trivialities that
hre now the fashion in journalism. The
public would be glad to get and pay for
something better.

GAVE A GRAND POTLATCH.
The Singular Method n Siwash Indian
Took of Spending 81, 400.

The Singular Method Siwash Indian
Took of Spending S1,4OO.
Speaking with prominent Gamer a
few days ago a representative Of the
Westminster (B. CO. Columbian in
quired how the Indians were faring this
year in the salmon fishing, and whether
they would be rich enough to indulge in
the potlatch. ''They won't have much
money to throw away in that direc-
ton this season." replied the Gamer.
Last year great many Siwashes made
good wages, and potlatches were all the
rage for some time afterward. They
are curious people, and it is astonish-
ing the delight they take in appearing
liberal and wealthy in the eyes of their
friends. Last year had an Indian
working for me who earned 81 400. He
drew the whole of this in lump sum
and laid it out in eight muskets, dozen
boxes Of crackers and the balance
about $1,200-in blankets. Then the
noble red man called all the Indians
within reach together and announced
his intention of giving grand potlatch
"The blankets were spread out in a
2-acre field, with the crackers on the
outside for his friends to lunch on and
the muskets in the center. When the
appointed time arrived to begin the
ceremonies the Indian waded through
the sea of blankets to where the mus
kets lay. Here he climbed on box and
began long Grafton which lasted over
an, l,N at lo 81, Il, l.
picked up the blankets one by one and
smashed them over the box, signifying
that all enmity between the tribes
present was forever ended and rifles
would no longer be needed Then he
gave the signal that the potlatch had
commenced and the Indian women sailed
in and packed away not only one pair of
blankets, but as many as they could
carry, and in few minutes there was
not even single blanket left for the
use of the generous contributor. This
grand give away of course made the
Siwash very popular, and few days
after he was made subchief of his tribe,
A few weeks later this same Indian came
to me dead broke and got sack of flour
on credit"
SIS the potlatch common among the
ordinary run of Indians?" asked the
newspaper man.
Gas a rule the head men of the tribe
do this sort of thing" replied the salmon
packer, "but once in while an ambi-
tious young Siwash tries to make name
for himself Last fall young fellow
who had made little money fishing for
me came into the Office and got $3.50 in
silver. With this he climbed ON the top
of shack, and after addressing the
multitude for an hour and half scat
tered every cent of the money among
the people below. This young Indian is
looked upon as a coming man, and by
the time he has squandered the earnings
of half dozen seasons fishing he will
be made a chief. But fish are few and
there won't be many potlatches this
year." concluded the cannery man.

After all the time there was to max,

After all the time there was TO make
ready for the visitation of cholera, which
was morally certain in the great seaport
of this country, the plague found the
port of New York not ready for it, There
was no place on land on which to quar-
antine passengers from the infected
steamers; consequently they were kept on
board, with some Of their fellow passen-
gers being ever and anon attacked with
cholera 1t is possible, indeed probable,
that some of the immigrants that were
stricken with the plague ON shipboard
in New York harbor would have escaped
had they been taken off the vessel to a
comfortable quarantine camp imme-
diately on their arrival. Now, however,
the warning note has been sounded. II
the country has not been thoroughly
cleaned up and rigid sanitary regulations
are not established everywhere before
the coming of warm weather next year,
then there will be criminal carelessness.
1t is possible for this whole country to
escape with only light visitation of the
pestilence next year, if indeed it be not
possible to keep it out altogether. There

1t is not uncommon for brokers deal
ing in stocks and bonds on commission
to advertise that they have had certain
properties examined by experts and can
guarantee them. In England a step
ahead of this has been taken. There
has arisen new kind of insurance
company, the one that guarantees the
payment of stocks, bonds, etc., both
principal and interest.
In some cases the fee for this insur-
ance is a certain sum in cash; in others
1t is small per cent. yearly. There are
many investment insurance companies
in England already. Some of the COM
panies require a cash payment of per
cent on the value of the money invested.
In return the investor is assured that he
will get his interest regularly. Other
companies charge one-half of per cent.
year.
The idea is a good one. AS wealth
accumulates in this country more and
more persons will wish to live on their
investments. Industrial stocks are at
present the best paying and most useful
to community of any. They are like
wise the most risky. But if companies
could be organized to insure investors
in these and other securities the regu-
lar payment of their dividends and the
principal at maturity it would be a
prosperous business all around.

The Walking Season.

The seaside time is over and the walk
ing season is on. 1t is the season when
the town worker feels as if he ought to
have two vacations, one in the hot
weather and the other in October, to
enjoy glorious tramp through the open
country. The leaves begin to turn
brown, red and gold; the food products
of garden, farm, orchard and dairy are
at their best and most abundant. 1t is
neither too hot nor too cold, but Just
right. How the individual who can get
off for fortnight or months tramp is
to be envied! A week is much, and even
day makes jolly picnic in ones life.
Go if you can. The autumn walking
party is even more delightful than the
woods or lawn party in hot weather.
Bring together few people who are
as one in harmony and taste. A "coed"
affair of men and women both is pleas
ant, but men alone Or women alone will
enjoy the pedestrian trip. Even one per-
son can have thoroughly "good time"
all by himself, but chum is more en-
joyable. If the trip is only for one day,
select some object of natural or historic
interest five to fifteen miles away. Start
early, while the crisp is in the air, and
make the spot by noon. Have dinner and
return, afoot for the strong ones; by rail
or carriage for the feebler. If you can
have the luxury of two days or more,
take no luggage that you cannot carry
in your hand, only the smallest satchel,
and do not load it heavily. Man, or even
woman, wants but little here below when
he has the air and sun. If you are I'M
used to walking, practice some for several
days or week before you start. Take
map of the country folded into small
book form if you are unfamiliar with
your route. Then you will know that
when rural inhabitant tells you place
is three miles away he really means five
and half, and says three to keep you
from feeling discouraged.
Take no thought for the morrow.
Country hotels and the spare bedroom
of nice farmhouse will shelter you for
the night. Your meals, the fat of the
land, will not cost you much. You will
get your moneys worth ten times over

The constitution of the Argentine Re-
public is in its principal features identi-
cal with that of the United States. Never
theless there are some differences worthy
of note. The president is elected in pre-
cisely the same manner as in the United
States, but cannot be reelected, and his
term of Office is six years. He has
more power than the president of the
United States, as far as making appoint
ments is concerned, since he only asks
the advice and consent of the senate to
appoint diplomatic ministers, judges
and officers of the army and navy above
the rank of colonel.
He fills all other offices at his own dis
erection, but all his DEGREES, proclama-
ton, ETC., must be countersigned by
cabinet minister or else are valueless.
Thus the constitution makes the cabinet
ministers responsible for all the acts of
the president.
The members Of. the cabinet can an

philanthropy in the ordinary sense, A
number of refined, devoted women fix
their residence in the poorest, lowest

superiority or patronage. They take

housekeeping with them, Then they es-

classes, classes in literary and scientific
study, musical clubs, debating societies,
cooking and housekeeping classes are
among some of the ideas that have taken
practical shape.
There are social evenings as well, and
these are an oasis in the desert to honest
and Woodworking foreigners who live in
the midst of squalor and dirt.
A steady effort has been made to teach
ON the one hand better modes of house
keeping and ON the other a knowledge Of
the citizens rights and duties. Once
the poor immigrant or native has this
knowledge firmly fixed, he will be as
good citizen as the millionaire.
An important feature of Hull house
is a social science club, in which the
widest anarchists come and spout along
side the wealthy capitalist, who in some
cases has been induced to be pres
ent and state his side of the case. 1t
must necessarily follow that the preju-
dices of both are modified, and both
come nearer to that feat almost impossi-
BILE to the average human mind-seeing
both sides of question. Miss Adams
is free to say that in her judgment, if the
pent up violence of the anarchists had
been allowed to vent itself thus harm
lessly in air, the lamentable Haymarket
tragedy would have been avoided.
Finally the writer thinks that the
residents at Hull house learn quite as
much from the people about them as
the people do from them. No doubt
they do. Here stretches out glorious
field for strong, kindly souls that are
longing for mission.
