A COPYRIGHT ON NEWS.

A bill introduced by Hicks of Pennsyl-
vania is pending in Congress to amend
the copyright law by denying copyright
to weekly and daily papers devoted in
whole or In part TO the news of the day."
The bill does not prevent the publisher
from copyrighting any particular article
or picture in MS paper, but 1t forbids his
taking out copyright for the whole
paper. This seems reasonable enough.
Under the law as it stands. any newspaper
which reprints an item of news from a
copyrighted paper infringes the copyright,
and may be sued for damages by the owner
thereof. This is imposing an impolitic
restriction on the diffusion of intelligence.
The object of a copyright Is to secure to an
author exclusive property in his ideas,
which are the creation Of his brain, not TO
establish monopoly of news. 1t is right
and proper that piratical publishers
should be restrained by law from repro
ducing a poem by Joaquin Miller, from
the pages of publication which has paid
him for it: but 1t is not reasonable
that newspapers should be debarred by
law from copying an account of the death
of the Emperor of Russia, because that
event is public property.
Certain Eastern publications, neverthe-
less. oppose the Hicks amendment, on the
ground that 1t would place author and ar
list at tha mercy of those who desire to
use their work without compen sation.
Curiously enough this argument is most
strenuously urged by the publishers, who
in the past have been most conspicuous for
indifference TO the interests of author and
artist, and who have regarded human
brains as the natural prey of the owners
of presses and types. 1t is proof of a
moral awakening, but il Is not logical. If
an author, artist or publisher desires to
protect an article, or picture from unau-
thorized production. all that is necessary
is to copyright them. The copyright will
hold against all marauders. This is very
different from an omnibus copyright, un-
der which paper published at Cheyenne
may be cast in damages for repUblishing
an account of a new coal com ine or of a
fiuctuation In wheat from a New York
weekly.
The object OF Congress in passing the
copyright law was to secure to authors the
same reward for their labor as other work
ers enjoy. 1t did not go beyond that
Publishers who fifty years ago proven ted
the passage of an International copyright
law. because al the time they had estab-
l1shed monopoly OF the republication of
English novels, demanded in 1892 law 10

A NEW TYPE OF SENATOR.

SenatoT-elect Tillman of South Carolina
will introduce new type of man into the
Senate. There have been Northern Sena-
tors possessed of similar personal traits.
but these Northern men have not matured
as Tillman has under hostile influences.
The rise of Tillman into political promi-
nence in South Carolina was regarded
with much of the dread the election of
General Butler as Governor of Massachu-
sets inspired in that State. In each case
the successful man was born and reared
out of the rut Governors had been taken
from. The Winthrops. Adamses. Cushings,
Hoars and Davises of Massachusetts, could
not tolerate even political association with
Butler. He roasted them in conventions
and in Congress, but they instnctively
combined against him. They liked neither
the man nor his methods. Senator Hoar
went so far as to say that if Butler was
elected Governor he would emigrate. But
the Sc nator changed his mind. Butler be-
came Governor and Hoar remained Sem
ator.
South Carolina has been represented in
the Senate for long term of years by men
of whom Wade Hampton and Matthew C.
Butler are examples. A South Carolina
Senator has always been selected from one
of the first families of the State. They
have been cultured men, honorable from
their standpoint OF honor, cbivalrous and
socially the flower of courtesy. Since
Calhoun none OF them have been great,
but all of them respectable. Tillman
breaks in upon this line of descent. He
