NJ. Zola on Literature.

NJ, ZoLA made q remark which will pro-
woke much discussion when he said to our
Paris correspondent that literature Is to-
day closed career" According Il nis
view, everything has been written. The
ground has been ploughed over and over
again in every direction" with the conse-
quence that success has become almost
impossible" and from this come bitter
ness and discomfort" Writers TRY to be
original, and writhe In order to succeed"
Is that so' Unquestionably the field Of
literature has been ploughed over more ex-
tensiyely during the last fifty years than in
long centuries before. In single year more
books are put forth than were written during
whole period when the literature OF past
times was most prolific. The literary activity
OF the Elizabethan age, for instance, was
small as compared with this Victorian
age. The number of writers then was few
by the side OF the multitude now engaged
in literary production in every country OF
civilization, and even in tue Eastern
world as ii Is to-day. A great library,
measured even with those which rank
high in magnitude, could he made up Of the
literary output Of the world for a single
year. The modern newspaper and periodical
have multiplied this activity, as compared
with the period before its development, to
an enormous extent. The reading Il fur
nishes may not be admitted TO be literature
distinctiyely, but both in form and substance
II Is often far superior to much OF the writ
ing preserved as literature and made respect
able only because of its age. In the multi
tudinous library Of British poesy handed
down 20 US there are many volumes which
would be oyershadOwed in true poetic merit
by collections Of casual verses which could
be made up from the poems published now
in newspapers by writers wholly or com
psratlyely unknown.
The aeld Of literature Is now ploughed over
more extensively than ever before, yet dis
tinetion in literature is as marked, and pro
portionatsly it is rare as it ever was.
There Is, for instance, only one ZOLA.
The plain Is more extensive thAa n the

past, but the eminences rising above II
ere few, - they are always few in every
department Of human effort. Moreover, ne
civilization grows older, there IL always new
and virgin coil to plough. The invasion Of
the realm OF psychology by modern science,
for instance, has opened fresh field for
literary cultivation. Scientific methods of
investigation and their conclusions have
changed the writing Of history They have
given impulse to whole school Of novelists.
They have started q new fountain Of ideas,
or at least have given q new form 10 old
ideas. Novel situations, social and political,
arise, giving 10 genius the opportunity TO
analyze their causes and consequences. Even
the mechanical invention which dlstin-
guishes this century from all the past, pro
vides fresh food for literary digestion. The
ground TO be ploughed over increases In ex
tent, 30 that soil remaining unbroken for
the new workman IL never lacking. The
same notion that literature had exhausted
Its opportunities, which NJ. ZoLA now pub
lishes was expressed centuries ago. In every
field the end Of possible attainment is al
ways far ahead. The world of imagination
is exhaustless In It's resources and only the

Moreover, the audience Of tho writer Is

IL is now more open than ever for
successful pursuit. All human effort for
enlightenment is contributing to
Its enrichment.

Outtyhunk station, subject to the private

Of his Administration. With big battle

there would be quite imposing.

Into private transport, running up and

ss IL Mr.. CLEVELAND had ambitious views
respecting future junkets.

OF the thirteen millions Of dollars repre-
sented by the stock OF the new corporation,
eight were secured by the liquidator from
dishonest contractors, conspicuous among
whom was NJ. EIPFEI, and from other per
sons dishonesty connected with the old
company including notably DIR. HERE. The
restitution Of a large sum was also exacted
from the estate Of the late Baron REINACB.
For the remaining five millions Of the new
capital stock the public will be invited 10
subscribe, bondholders and shareholders IN
the former corporation having a preference
right. 1t is believed that confidence in the
probity and business capacity OF the man
agement has been secured by placing on the
Board OF Directors representatives OF the
Credit Lyonnais, the Credit Industriel,
and the Societe GeneAle. To the company
thus organized the liquidator turns over all
the franchises, buildings, machinery, and
plant OF the extinct corporation, whose
bondholders and shareholders will in return
receive, as we have said, one-half Of the net
earnings Of the canal.

Side Walks.
Mr.. Editor:

MIR. Edltor.
A plank side walk from the depot to
the Gueriniere building, would improve
that part OF the main street in a strik-
ing and convenient manner.
It could be built at not very large
outlay. and would prove a measure OF
qualification to every public spirited CT
tizen OF the town.
Advancing in the march of progress
as the town is now doing, it Is the part
Of business wisdom to employ all means
that will help.
II will not be seriously objected to
that this side walk is not needed, While
the present walk might do in fair wea-
Their, it must be admitted that it is very
announcement in wet weather.
Outward appearances 60 good ways,
and inasmuch as every arrival by the
train must pass over this route to reach
the centre Of town. 1t IL wise to create a
FIRST favorable impression.
Will the council kindly take up fOi
discussion and act in this matter.
