A Novelty in Trolley Roads.
prom the Philadelphia Press.

In an electric road recently constructed
in England q radical departure from
American methods has been made. A
trolley wire is suspended from arms pro-
jecting from steel columns no guy wires
are employed, as the steel wires are espec-
tally designed to Withstand severe strains.
AT the corners, the trolley wires, instead
of following a curve of the same radius of
the track, as in the American systems, is
turned on an angle, the whole system
depending on the fiexibility of the trolley
arm, or side collector, as it is called,
which automatically engages the trolley
wire in any position from two to twelve
feet from the side of the car.
Another change from American practice
is the adoption of pressure of only 350
volts. The cars are only twenty-five feet
long, and are equipped with two motors
of fifteen brake horse power, running at
400Ereyolutions.

must be very small indeed-a disconcert-
ing process through which the reasoning
of many worldly critics is put in news
paper offices. When Mr.. Higginson ac-
cuses the Sunday newspapers of vulgar
ity and sin, he really makes charges
against the public. 1t is lucky for Mr..
Higginson that the public rarely "hits
back"
Another of his assertions is that the
Sunday newspaper is lacking in literary
merit. This is doubtless frequently true
But literary perfection, while it is very
good thing and should be striven for, is
not the first aim of the Sunday newspa-
per The fact that paper is printed to
be read on the day of rest does not rob it
of its digtinctive characteristic 1t is a
newspaper still-it is even more news
paper than the week day editions, for its
accounts of the current news topics are
supplemented by especial articles in
broader and more thoughtful vein than
time or space permits in the weekday
plain statements of fact.
The object of each newspaper. whether
or not 1t is intended for Sunday perusal,
is the presentation in readable form of
information on topics in which that por-
ton of the public to which it caters is in
terested-a direct reply to the progress
sive demand for education which has
made the existence of Mr.. Higginson and
other essayists possible. There are dis
reputable newspapers because there are
disreputable people. But the representa-
tive newspaper is no not disreputable
1t is neither vulgar nor wicked, nor does
it offer offense TO the sensible literary
eye, After all that may be said of Sun
day journalism, it is precisely what it
pretends to be-no more, no less-and it
pretends to be very good thing.

NO MORE, NO LESS THAN VERY GOOD
THING

THING.
Mr.. Higginsons criticism of Sunday
newspapers is 50 far as know, the only
hasty judgment of an important mat ter
that he has made public and is, therefore,
to be easily forgiven. Most writers make
more than one mistake His error is
is probably due more to a wrong view
point than to ILLOGICAL reasoning.
The basis of magazine argument is that
the Sunday newspaper is too vul gar to be
read by refined people and too wicked to
be read by anybody at all. This statement
quarrels less with the newspapers than
with the population of the United States,
for the Sunday newspaper is the direct
handiwork of the people Newspaper
directors hire editors for the purpose of
supplying to the public what it wants,
and the nearer the editors come to doing
that the better the proprietors are pleased
The fate of those who have attempted to
make the public's wants a secondary
matter need not be referred to. 1t is
melancholy subject.
The aggregate circulation of the repu-
table Sunday newspapers in New York
city alone is not less than 900 900 copies
weekly. This means at least 1900, 600
readers weekly. The population of New
York city is a little more than 800, 900
so if there are very many people who
avoid reading the Sunday newspapers
for fear of contamination, the out of town
circulation of the local Sunday Journals
must form more than half the total The
counting room books do not support this
theory, therefore, if the charges in the
magazines be true the number of refined
and cody people on Manhattan Island

New York Aug 1S.-Criticisms lately
appearing in various magazines adverse
to the merits of Sunday newspapers as
purveyors Of popular literature, have
called forth the following symposium by
well-known newspapers editors. The men
whoc onduct and contribute to high class
monthly periodicals have, in many cases,
expressed highly uncomplimentary opin-
ions Of Sunday journalism, charging it
with inaccuracy, lack of literary finish,
plagiarism and dement's consequent upon
haste. ignorance and carelessness. Illus
trations in newspapers have been particu-
larly condemned. The more prominent
men who have expressed some or all Of
these views. include Richard Watson Gill
der, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Id
mund Clarence Stedman, Andrew Lang
and the late George William Curtis. 1t
is but fair TO these distinguished writer's,
however. to acknowledge that their con-
demnatiOn has not been unqualified by
praise for some Sabbath day features Of
Journalism.
WHY SHOULD NOT NEWSPAPER LITERATURE
BE OF THE BEsTl
That Sunday newspaper literature
should be condemned by magazinists for
defects in it revealed by comparison with
what appears in periodicals may be con-
sidered a compliment TO journalism in one
sense. We seldom notice that which is
inconspicuous or beneath regard and l
fancy that there may be self-interest at
the bottom of adverse criticism.
Why should not newspaper literature
be of the best2 The names signed to the
articles we read in the newspapers of
New York and other cities rank high in
the world of letters. The topics are
often severely intellectual. The object is
popular education. How many men read
q magazine and how many read the Sun
day newspaper Abolish the monthly il
Illustrated periodicals and no doubt we
could survive the loss. Take away the
Sunday newspaper and consider what
many of US would have left of the Lords
day
am told that Thomas Wentworth Hig-
ginson says that no cultured person can
''waste time' in reading more than the
headlines of the matter appearing in Sun
day mammoth broadsides." The infer
ence would seem to be that cultured per
sons feel no interest in politics, art, his
tory, literature and subjects of equal i'm
POrtance. Another magazinist is quoted
as saying that newspaper information,
particularly when it treats of the higher
departments of human knowledge, is full
of inaccuracies and defects of style

ton between the journals and the month
lies. The same causes that have enlarged
the Sunday papers and have expanded
the circulation of journals, have been felt
by the magazines. We may enumerate
cheap paper, fast and good presses, new
processes of engraving, type-setting ma
chimes and betterments in all appliances
The magazines may enter the field of the
newspaper. The price of Cosmopolitan is
down TO 1917 cents, and its enterprising
proprietor proposes to do in magazine
land that which has been done in newspa-
perdom by the penny press.

Sustaining Home Industry.

Myron Tanner, ESQ, agent of the
Provo wooden mills, was in town last
week, making arrangements to place the
products of those mills directly into the
hands of the people without the assist
ance of middle men, to the extent of
$50, 000. He proposes TO allow the farmers
seventy cents per bushel for their wheat
delivered at the mills at Provo to be paid
for in wooden goods such as they may
need. This seems to be very good idea
as the farmers can load up their
teams when they have little else
to do and take trip to
Provo and secure good and substantial
clothing for themselves and families
when they would probably be idling
away the time at home. This Will be
doing for themselves q good thing and al
the same time helping home industry,
which everybody knows is the duty of
every individual to do if he has the good
of his country at heart. This will not
interfere with the merchants who wish to
carry line Of these goods, as CUTLER
Brothers wilt carry on the wholesale bus
mess as usual. We hope both people
and merchants will take q lively interest
in home industry.-Richtield Ad0ocdte.

Accident at Annahalla

Myron A. Abbott of Annabella, met
with an accident Sunday morning, which
II is feared, will prove fatal. He was
coming down a very steep grade, off the
Glenwood mountain, with load OF
timber, when the break-stick broke and
the force with which he was pulling it
threw him onto the horse in front of him,
which resulted in his dropping under the
wheels of the wagon which ran length
wise on his right breast, cutting close to
his head. The team took fright and one
OF the horses was dragged down under the
wagon.
Later-Wm. II. Clark who came from
Annabella, Monday afternoon, states that
Mr.. Abbott was much better, and there
were great hopes OF his ultimate recovery.
