Mr.. Hamlin Garland drops into r-opii
coy in The Forum. He writes of III.
future of American literature, and acnr
rent Of enthusiasm ike the sweep Of =
prairie wind runs through his thoughts.
The east is to hold no longer its supre-
macy in literary authority and criticism,
he says. 1t cannot, for the Atlantic
coast model of literature and criticism
is English, not American Already the
commercial supremacy hes been Erested
from New York by the northwest.
Artistic supremacy will shortly be, for
following the Columbian exposition the
rise of Chicago as literary ard art CEN
ter is only a question Of time. Maya
zines and publishing houses are to come.
The writers have already risen"
"Herceforth when men Of the old
world speak of America they will not
think Of Boston and New York and
Philadelphia, they viii mean Chicago
and the Mississippi Yalley.n Mr.. Car
land quotes this as the estimate already
put on his part Of the country by the
man Of the middle section of the IN
ion, and It is plain Mr. Garland more
than half agrees with the valuation,
He shocks the Atlantic coast as with an
earthquake when he patronizingly tells
it that the New England literary group
wrote gentle and polite poems on books
and events" But the real American
literature, that which is springing up in
the west and south, is literature not
of books, but Of life. 1T draws its in
spiration from contact with men and
nature. Tt has the rough hewn quality
of first hand work. 1t has few limita
tons. 1t is free"
1t IS enough to make the very stones
of Boston pavelnents cry out when Mr..
Garland goes on and says, Couture is
not creative power" He believes, too,
that today, IN spite Of its foreign popu-
lation, Chicago is really the most repre-
sentative American city. Not even Chi
cago, however, can permanently AFRO
gate to itself the authority in artistic
and literary criticism. with cities of
half million inhabitants scattered from
Pittsburg to Seattle, New York and Chi
cago will alike be made humble" Then
Mr.. Garland delivers the following ex-
hortation:
Stand up, 0 young man and woman of the
west! Stand erect Face the future with
song on your lips and the light of broader
day in your eyes. Turn your back on the past,
not in scora, but in justice to the future. Re-
jec1 the scholasticsm of the east. Cease try
Ing to be eorrc. 2s bse2saa creative. This

EVERY now and then we hear from
ex-President Harrison. Now he
comes to the front with an express
sion Of opinion upon the passage of
the act by the House Of Represen ia
tiyes to repeal laws providing for
the interference Of the Federal Gov
ernment with the election Of Con
gressmen. The ex-Pres!dent talks
as if United States Marshals aad In

Representative de Almonds scheme
for raising government revenues has
some features slightly unusual. Mr.. de
Almond wants to accumulate annual
revenues large enough to meet the out
lay for pensions, be the same great or
small For this purpose he would i'm
pose. a graded tax on all incomes beyond
$4,000. The secretary of the treasury
shall fx the ai4ailal rate Of the income
tax and proportion it to the amount
needed to pay the pensions. The $4,000
income is to be taken as basis and is to
be taxed a certain per cent. All incomes
up to $50, o00 shall be taxed at the same
rate. For incomes between $50, 900 and
100000 the rates ckall be doubled, IL
comes between 100000 and $500, Gee
shall be levied ca at q rate three times
as great as that of the $40, 600 income A
man with s1,0e0,o 600 a year viii pay a
rate six times as great az the person
worth $40, 0O0a year This measure will
probably be favored by all persons with
an income of less than $4,000 a year
and pronounced robbery by those who
have that and more. If such a law
should be passed, the poor millionaires
will have as desperate struggle to eva1e
it as they now have to get out of paying
real estate taxes.

He found it hard to get an
audience With Cleveland, but
succeeded yesterday morning.
1t issaid he told the President
the joke Pat Winston got off
on President Arthur. Pat
wanted a place ont in Idaho
and after promising to re-
main only ten minutes, talk
ed for half an hour, when Ar
thur, pulling out his watch,
reminded him OF t h g fact.
Yes" Mr.. Winston said; q

Of your time, but you took
up two months Of my time

Office. Whether Mr.. Buxton
will be as successful remains
to be seen. Anyway the Pres

st. Louis Republic.
When James Monroe was
president and John Quincy
Adams was secretary ofstate
an ingenious English engrav
er obtained permission ofthe
two dignitaries mentioned
to take the Declaration of In
dependence and engrave it IN
facsimile on copper. He car
ried the precious document
to the printing Office of one
Peter Force. When every
thing was IN readiness, he
placed it upon the imposing
stone and laid fl sheet of in.
dia paper of the same size up
on it. The india paper was
next moistened with wa ter in
which gum arabic had been
dissolved. A heavy proof ro-
ler with a weight hanging
from each end was then roll
ed several times over the his
| toric document. When the
india paper was removed
from the face of the instru-
ment, it took with it at least
one-half of the ink used in
writing and signing the doc
ument.
The document is less than
IA century and a quarter old,
and with proper care should
be almost as legihle asst was
on the 5th day ofJuly, 1776.
AS it is, only II signatures
out of the 90 can be read

The Precious Hours.

The one thoughtthat comes
to the mind of the old man
when he speaks to the young
is this: Oh, that it were pos
sible to make them know how
precious are the hours, how
fraught with consequences OF
incalculable Importance, that
now fill up each and every
day Of their comparatively
easy lives. | would not ask
you to relax your attention
to the games that fill up
your leisure hours; but 1say,
let every one, with the same
energy with which he plays
cricket or football, with the
same energy with which he
applies himself to leaping or
running, or to any exercise
whatever of his corporal pom
els--and he wants very little
exhortation, so far asmy ex-
perience goes, to be energetic
with that portion of his du-
ties-let him carry the very
same spirit into the work
whichis intended to develop
his msntalfaculties. Theex-
tentIon of government EN-
ployments has given an enor
nous enlargement to what
may be called the official
classes--in fact, there is a
much larger number Of pro
fess;onals competing II ow
than competed together in
the days when | came into
this world; but. depend upon
it. the profession OF the chr
lgyman, I'll. be morearduous
tnan it has ever been, is on
Ithataccount, nohler than It
has ever been. William E,

The mailsfromCartersville to

contained al inclosure upon
which thefollowing announce

Jones request your presence
at the marriage of tl.eir dau.
ghter, Annie o., to Mr.. Will

evening, at home, Carters-
vile, Ga"
There is a story behind this
announcement which gives it
more than the interest which
IT would naturally have. Mr..
Graham was at one time the
private Secretary OF Rev. Mr..
Jones, and in the early part
OF that gentleman's career,
rendered him -Areat service.
This threw him much into
the family circle. One after
noon the Secretary was mis-

where they had become man
and wife. The union thus
made was unappy. however
and a separation took place,
followed by a divorce. Now
it seems that the couple will
come together again, t h i g
time with the parental sanc-
ton, and the guests are bid
den to the feast tomorrow
night.
