that the distinguished statesman's hand did

OF General Lew Wallace's new novel,

write that book" President Garfield, who
was great admirer of en-Hur," suggest.
ed to General Wallace the idea of another
historical romance, with Constantinople as
its scene. Naturally the period most bril-
liantly capable of literary Development in
a story is that tragic one in which NOLAN

shattered the Greek Church, destroyed Con
stantinople, and triumphed in the blood Of

Turkish capital, as well as of his increased
interest in developing the book.

attention among the cultured Jews of Amer

book is a careful, brilliantly picturesque
study of the modern cosmopolitan Jew. 1t
especially sets forth the conservative atti-
tude of the race towards women's aggres-
siveness in the way of social and intellec-
tual rights and the Jews racial pride, his
faith in the worldly future of his people,
and his conviction that the civilized world
is made for ultimate Jewish control in every

The appointment of Hon. VIM. l.. Will
son to be chairman of the committee on
ways and means yesterday by Speaker
Crisp was not unexpected by those who
have been closely following events in the
political lines at Washington. The posi-
ton is one of unusual responsibility and in
fuence. BY virtue of his position the
chairman of this committee is the recogniz-
ed leader of his party on the floor OF Con-
gress. His utterances are in certain sense
oracular. He is supposed to speak for the
administration. Mr.. Wilson is gifted with
extraordinary power as persuasive orator.
Possessing magnetism, a rare command oil
language, profound learning, and earnest
ness of purpose he stands as model oil
American craftsmanship. He is so abso-
lutely free from demagogy, or the tricks Of
politicians, that he is more of a teacher than
a leader He is the sincere and impressive
advocate rather than the catching aud
amusing stumper. The honor bestowed
upon him is recognition of the merit oil
an honest man and safe counselor. West
Virginia and the people at large are to be
congratulated on the choice of Mr.. Wilson.
For the honor has been conferred upon but
few Democrats since the war, and upon no
one more deserving than our fellow citizen.
