ETHICS OF BUOKsELLING.

The Publishers Weekly discusses the
duty of the booksellers to the public
and lays down the ethics of the BUSH
ness as follows:
We do not expect. nor sven wish. book
sellers to band themselves together as an
Association for the Sale of Cody Books;
but We think that 1t IL about time that
members of the book trade. especially those
connected with tho periodical part of It,
positively refuse to sell or keep In stock
such printed matter as common sense tells
them Is dangerous. They may lose in the
beginning by such q course, but only to
benefit In the end, besides having the sat
isfaction of knowing that they ore in some
degree helping TO elevate the standard of
morality among their fellow-creatures.
Ii booksellers would but consider the
greatness of their mission, they would see
that they WELD an enormous power. VIII
they use it for govd2 ri
1t is o impossible for booksellers to
carry out this plan, since to do so it is
by no NEAR necessary to read all the
books through to decide upon their
merits. Novels, for instance, good, bad
and Indifferent, are now issued in paper
overs and in a similarity of style that
may deceive the ignorant or undiscrim-
mating. but it needs no great knowledge
of literature for an intelligent person to
be able to separate one class from an
other without opening the volumes. In
most cases they can be distinguished by
the publishers label. which may
be a guaranty that the book
is above reproach from a moral
standpoint, or may, on the contrary, lay
the work under suspicion if it does not
entirely condemn it.. There is a class of
publishers who cater to the vicious ele-
ment' by issuing books sensational in
title and written by authors either un-
known to the public or known only as
the producers of tales that verge on the
indecent, SO far as the laws against vile
literature will permit. The contents of
the volumes are often not SO bad AS the
titles lead the reader to expect. but they
are, almost without exception, of an inn
moral tendency and unfit to put into
the hands of young people who
are likely to obtain them innocently
enough from reputable dealers. The
better class of publishers send out, even
in their cheap editions. only the works
of authors who are generally approved.
So long as there is a market for the OBJ
jectionable books publishers may be
found who will have no hesitation in
supplying them, bnt when conscientious
and se~lf-respecting dealers refuse 10
handle them the traffic will receive o
severe blow.

The only paper in the city which or
poses the appropriation for the @. A. r.
encampment, the News. does so on the
ground that public money can only be
appropriated for the necessary purposes
of government. AS a general rule and
principle this is correct, but it has been
set aside repeatedly by Congress, by
State legislatures and by city councils.
1t has been set aside repeatedly In this
State and city. A few years ago the
State appropriated $4,000 for the relief
of sufferers by floods in the Ohio and
Wabash rivers. In 1872 the City Coun-
Gil appropriated $685. 600 for the sufferers
by the Chicogo fire. The State appro-
priation for the soldiers monument was
a departure from the rule, and that for
a medal to young Neff was a still more
conspicuous departure. The News
favored or approved all these appro-
priations. yet now it proposes TO draw
the line against the G.. A. X. Out of its
own mouth it is convicted of incon-
sistency and insincerity.

THE Washington correspondent of
the Buffalo Express says that Postmas-
t%er-general Bissell, referring to the
efforts of his predecessor to make his in
duction into Office easy and pleasant,
said, "Mr. Wanamaker is a splendid
gentleman" Yet most of the able Dem
ocratic editors, who have never seen
Mr.. Wanamaker, agree that he is q
canting hypocrite and cad. 1t is stated,
by the way, hat the new Postmaster
general wanted TO retain Mr.. Wana-
makers private secretary, but the latter
preferred to go out with his late chief.
There seems to be reason to believe that
Mr.. Wanamaker is not utterly bad, able
Democratic editors to the contrary not
withdrawing.

Gent party worker in that State, has re-
turned home from Washington a dis
appointed man. He went to the capital
thinking he deserved and expecting to
receive a good foreign appointment, but
he found pretty much everything prom
ised to or pre-empted by Eastern men.
1t is beginning to be a matter OF remark
among Western Democrats that the
chosen places in the foreign service have
been reserved to pay the social or
political obligations of Mr.. Cleveland to
the swell set which he SO much favors,
and whose companionship and advice
have made him q richman. Even the ap-
pointment of exc Governor Gray is now
known to have been mainly due to a de-
sire to placate Mr.. Whitney by redeem
ing his promises made at Chicago. In

than in the locality swept by this confia-
grafton. How much their presence con-
tributed to the disaster may never be def

without this warning that the poles and
wires are q serious obstruction to the eff
