UNWILLING TO BE AN ACCIDENT,

Senator Palmer's Views ON the Action OF
the Illinois Convention.
Senator Palmer expressed himself a. we'll
satisfied with the result Of the Illinois conven-
ton. "The resolutions" said he, express
my views better than I could have done.
II the convention can nominate Cleveland with
the feeling that his nomination will be
acceptable to New York andto the great mass OF
the democracy I am for him. I believe
he is the strongest leader the party
has and I prefer to put all personal con-
siderations aside and see the strongest leader
put in command" The Sc aator would not
state whether he believed Cleveland would be
acceptable to New York or not, and
said that was Q matter for the ,conven-
ton to decide. IT, however, It was
found inexpediens or impracticable to
nominate him the convention must look else.
where. He would be satisfied il the convep-
ton looked his way, but he never desired to
occupy the position Of a political accident

Anglers and Black Bass,

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
II the anglers for black bass, who are 80 much
disturbed by recent enactments of the general
assembly of Maryland, will turn to your issue
Of April they may draw light and consola-
ton from the following Interpretation of the
several sections published therein:
See. Al. 1t shall be unlawful to catch, or try

traption whatsoever throughout the year.
Lightweights may be taken, if possible, with
hook and line at any time.
Sec. 46 b. Maryland claims the Potomac to

ing upon q platform on the Virginia SD GRE

ton prescribed, may fish therefrom without
molestation and carry off all they catch, as
this section applies only to persons within the
state of Maryland.
Sec. 46 Z. Be it further enacted. for the pro-
lection OF the innocent and law abiding angler,
that, from and after the passage OF this act,

half pound shall carry scales.
DIGEST OF THE SEVERAL SECTIONS.
The angler may 60 a-fshin' at any time and

Grocery Clerks and Sunday W ork.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
From purely humanitarian standpoint 1t 10
to be hoped that the bill recently introduced
to prohibit the sale or delivery Of ice on Sun
day will become law, and, while the matter 10
under consideration and the rights Of the
working people are being considered, think
1t . timely suggestion that the sale or delivery
OF groceries on sunday can readily be dis
pensed with. There are no harder worked or
poorer paid class Of employees anywhere than
those found working In the grocery
stores OF our city. Going to work in the
morning at s or o'clock, in many instances
they remain at their posts engaged in active
labor (frequently ON busy times or pay days
being deprived Of their meals) until O'Clock
at night. II is true that few of the more
generous class Of merchants close at O'Clock,
fact that should be observed and encouraged
BY the purchasing public.
Saturday morning the majority Of these
clerks commence their labor at from to 8
o'clock, the earlier hour In stores that make q
speciality OF market goods, 1t being necessary
70 make display Of thess goods. Incessant
labor continues from that time until II O'Clock
ct night and have known frequent cases Of
exhaustion and seen strong young mon faint
like weak women because they had worked be-
yond human endurance.
These are great evils that SHOULD have o
remedy, but In addition to ell these on Sunday
mornings they are required 10 report for duty,
ostsnsibly to deliver the fresh meat that has
been kept over night in the ice box This
opens the doors for business and in many
localities Sunday 10 the most profitable day in
the week. The sales do not stop at fresh meat,
but embrace anything In the entire stock,
sometimes including beer and liquors.
The labor for the clerks usually
! continues ON Sunday until I O'Clock pm,
giving them only . few hours for rest and
recreation before they rstnrn again to their
work Monday morning. Itwould be q shame
70 work mules on the canal - these boys and
young men are worked. They would take it a.
great boon II only thsse Sunday hours of
labor were taken from them While the SYM
pathy Of, our large-hesrted legislators 10 going
out toward the oppressed Humanity, hope Il
will be broad enough to take in this class Of
laborers by enscting Law that viii relieve then,

1t il customary when new war ship u named

to contribute fund for the purchase OF silver

using q fund. II il insinuated that the fair
queen OF the Ohio has been in pout The

this The naughty queen, sitting under the

The Sunday Newspaper,

The Boston Globe Sits out some sugges-
tive facts and figures from RoweiPs Direc.
tory for 1890.
1t seems that the number Of Sunday papers
doubles every ten years. They are con-
stantly enlarging their field, and according
to Rowell, they are seriously cutting into
the circulation Of magazines and books.
In many cases these enterprising papers
buy directly from the author, and through
various syndicates they supply their readers
with the very best Of literature material.
Books will never be entirely supplanted,
but millions Of readers, when they can lind
in a Sunday paper, like The Constitution,
the stories of Robert Louis Stevenson,
Rudyard Kipling, Joel Chandler Harris,
Mark Twain, and the products Of other
famous pens, will naturally buy fewer
books, and depend more and more upon the
press, which gives them for few pennies
reading matter that would cost dollars in
book form.
The Sunday newspaper is already great
literary factor, and il has a brilliant future
before it.-Atlanta Constitution.
The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1892-07-31

neighbor's cattle. "instead Of merely forging
a Celtic poem" Macpherson himself died
uncOnyinced Of error. Literature in the
eighteenth century, in short, was obstinatelY
immoral. In some spasnodic fashion pubic
opinion made itself felt. The first sign OF
progress in such matters is--lynch lag.
After a period Of general indulgence in
which crime has been allowed to flourish
behind the hedges OF class feeling, sudden
rigOr OF virtue attacks the community.
Honest or well-instructed persons insist on
enforcing their views. But, how
ever capriciOus their treatment may be, we
can afford no compassion Tor literary iiu-
postors-speakers flies in hypocrisy having
their cOnsciences scared with a hot iron.
Swift complains that, though a forgery
which might prejudice anotber's fortune
was punished with the loss OF ears, the laws
had no terrors for him that published sup
pOstitious book, "and filled the world with
follies and impostures." Books are the
legacies that genius leaves 10 mankind. If
whose will may confouud our inheritance
with his own base coinage, the legacy Be
comes Of doubtful yalue.-The National

Question Of Taste,7 we have JUST been
made acquainted. OF the PERSONAL---VERY. the
author very little has been written in this
country. Maarten Maartens 10 nom de
plume, the authors real name being j. Van
der POOrsen-Scbwartz, whichwOuld scarcely
have a euphonious sound on title-page.
The novelist is about tnrty-seYen years Of
age, is Holander by birth and resides at
MeeFlangbrock, where be lives in line
chateau or miniature castle. In appearance
he has long, dark hair and pain OF equally
dark eyes. He is Of medium stature, the
most conspicuous feature of his personnel
being his full, round face, which gives him
the appearance Of a man well satisfied with
the world and life in general. He is easy Of
approach, mis- manners are exceedingly
agreeable, while his literary and artistic
tastes are very fully developed. He is
perfect master of the English language, and
writes all his novels direct into the English,
which Hollanders naturally do not relish.
One OF his special gifts is ietter-wrlting, at
which he is an adept, while his converse
tional powers are also marked to an unusual
degree.

IiteIArY Notes.

Harper g. Brothers announce that they are
about to publish q new volume in the
English Men Of Letters" series-"Carlyle,"
by Prof, John Nichol. They have nearly
ready valuable work by Julian Ralph, en-
titled "On Canada's Frontier" illustrated
by Frederic Remington; also f. ID. Niillets
"fhe Danube: From the Black Forest to the
Black Sea-" beautifully illustrated by
Alfred Parsons and MIR. Millet; and a new
illustrated novel, entitled THAT Wild
Wheel" by Frances Eleanor TrollOpe,
whose stories have won much praise fof
their originality Of design, their skilful
Characterization and the genuine flavor Of
the humor with which they are enliyened.
Lord Spencer mas been compelled by his
financial difficulties TO announce reluctantly
that the famous Althorp Library is for sale.
Many volumes have been written about this
marvel among collections. It IS the most
splendid private library the world has ever
known. It's size, though In itself unpar-
alleled, Is a minor feature Its 10000 vol
umes have almost without exception some
uncommon value Of their own. They re-
present the rarest editions, and most historic
bindings, and most priceless examples Of
illumination and early printing on yelium,
all IN a state Of unusual preservation. It's
lists OF early Bibles alone fill over one
hundred pages Of Dibdin, and many OF
these are valued at thousands OF dollars
each. There are fifty-seyen Caxtons out of
a possible ninety-nine known as the pro-
auctions OF his press, and three OF these are
