BUYING lNFAMY.
DEcEMBER, 1894.

The CALL regrets TO see its Democratic
contemporary assume that the high office
of United States Senator is seeking a can-
didate, noto the ground of fitness for the
duties of the Office, but on the ground of
willingness and ability to pay handsomely
for II. One prominent politician after an
other is disposed of, some for the reason
that they have not much money, others for
The reason that they are not inclined to be
liberal. This is a very low basis to place
the Legislature upon. When man is
informed in advance that he will be sup
posed to have sold himself to the highest
bidder, whether he does or not, the way is
made easy for him to do it. The consid-
Grafton that comes with dong ones duty
is certainly one of the incentives to we'll
doing. Between this easy way of assum-
ing that the senatOrship is for sale and the
opposite assumption maintained in some
of the older States there is a great moral
difference. In the one case the man who
sells his vote feels that he is doing what
he is expected 10 do, while in the other the
seller feels the degradation of his offense.
In the one case public condemnation is not
expected, IN the other it is known tha
discovery will call forth an explosion of
public wrath. 1t is quite time for Cali
fOrnia to climb out of the rut the corrupt
practices of the Southern Pacific Company
tempted it into. The election OF a sena-
torial candidate who tolerstes the sug-
gestion that he will buy a seat in the Senate
should be i'm possible. A Senator elected
by purchased votes can do the State no
good, bnt may do it an infinite harm. The
more conspicuous he becomes in the body
in which he holds purchased seat the
greater disgrace he will be to the State be
misrepresents. The Infamous excuse that
''they all do it, cannot be converted into
shelter at the present day. The men who
buy seats in the Senate are comparatively
few in number and are pretty well known
ANY Senator who takes his seat under
well-grounded suspicion of having bought
it exposes himself to many hrmiliations.

She had really nothing to worry about.

ord OF the past is its exciting incidents, its

modern critical histories neglect or re-

to dime novels, for their views of man and

A PARTY TO A CONSPIRACY

A memb Der of Congress is reported as
saying that if information comes from
the Hawaiian Islands that consp rators
against the Government have been arrested
no power upder the sun could make the
people of this country believe that Grover
Cleveland was not party to the con-
spiraeY. This is a pretty hard thing to
say of the President of the United States,
but in the absence of some more satisfac-
tory explanation of Navy Department
orders Withdrawing American war vessels
from the islands many people will believe
that Mr.. Cleveland was quite willing that
the Hawaiian Government should be over
thrown. Very possibly Mr.. Cleveland is
honest in the belief that it would be better
for the United States to permit the islands
TO pass under the protection of Great
Britain than TO become a part of the
American Union. If he honestly enter
tains such belief it is unfortunate both for
him and the American people that he is
President. The action of Congress has in
dieated accurately the attitude of the
American people on this question, and if
Mr.. Cleveland dsregards this expression
he will be held to a strict accountability.
The people OF this country are becoming

ment of Great Britain upon American out
posts. She is in Blueields, in Alaska, in
the Hawaiian Islands and elsewhere
where a pretext for interference NAV be
found. Her public men are constantly
talking about the good feeling that should
exist between the two peoples and as con-
stantly trying to get all the material ad-
vantage they can from our placid nation.
When there was talk about war over the
Boring Sea dispute Englishmen held up
their hands in horror at the thought of
war over such trifling matter. But in
the end we have lost everything we at one
time contended for ami have had to paw
handsomely for the losing. Engla nd's
public men lock out for her interests with
very slight concession to what NAV be
termed good feeling. Whatever sacrifices
are to be made TO friendship are expected
OF the other party to a controversy. In
the game of diplomacy as played between
Great Britain and the United States Great
Britain plays both hands. In time some
such browning atrOcity as the surrender of
the Hawaiian Islands or the Gulf mouth
of the Nicaragua canal route will arouse
such an expression of national feeling as
will make the Clevelands, tie Greshams
and the Bayards seek obscurity as a cover
for their shame.

NOT AN ASPiRANT.

Secretary Carlisle has written to a prom
inent Democrat in Kentucky refusing to
allow his name to be used as an asprant
for the Senate. Mr.. Carlisle at the present
time is under a cloud. His management
of the affairs of the Treasury Department
has nearly obscured the reputation he had
made in Congress. His conversion to the
gold standard in the face of his speeches
in Congress was at least a reflection upon
the stability of his opinion. His lack OF
dignity as shown by his serving as the
go-between in the negotiations of the
sugar trust with the Senate committee in
charge of the tariff has never been satis-
iactoriiy explained away. Whether in
territorial or not he appears as interested
In securing for the trust such protection
as it wanted. His currency scheme has
been put on the invalid list. The people
are not yet convinced that a change in the
currency system of the country which
substitutes the capital stock of banks for
United States bonds as security for circu-
lation would be wise. 1t may be that
Secretary Carlisle has had insurmount-
able difficulties to contend against, but
the fact remains that his administration
of the Treasury Department has been
failure. Possibly he would have done
better if he had been allowed his own
way, but he evidently judges himself by
what he has done, not by what he might
have done under more favorable con-
ditions

TO SECURE PATRONAGE.

The lesson of the Lexow Investigation

THE INVENTOR OF THE DIME
NOVEL.

The announcement of the death of Ell as
tus Flsvius Beade has passed unno iced.
though a few years ago the man was well
known and much talked of. He was the
father of the ''dime novel" He was a
publisher in Il small way in the years be-
fore the war. At that time American
by the Harpers, who reproduced English
novels in brown paper covered editions,
which cost from % cents TO 80 cents. They
had no use for American stories. 1t
occurred simultaneously to Beadle and to
Bonner of the Ledger that a market nigh t
be created for American fiction if it were
handled in the right way, and while Bon
ner began the publication of novels of the
Sylvanus Cobb type in his paper, and ad-
vertised them into popularity, BeadIe un-
dertOok to produce them in book form, on
cheap paper and 10 cheap style, and sold
them for 10 cents. These gradually became
known as dime novels, and attained a pro-
digious circulation.
They made no pretensions to literary
merit They were written by jobbers in
literary wares, such as Ann S. Stephens,
A. j. ii. Duganne, Ned Buntline, Ed
ward S. Ellis and others of the same
rank, who had glimmering per-
ception of dramatic methods which
caught the fancy of schoolboys. school
girls, and many even older readers.
Beadle had the commercial instinct He
knew where to place his dime novels so as
sell them. and some of them attained an
enormous sale. They were gene rally tales
of adventure, with Indians and pirates, and
gallant American youths and lovely Amer
lean girls in them. Sometimes they scared
into high life, and produced rayening
barons and hapless maidens and valiant
lovers who always appeared in the nick OF
time and rescued the forlorn damsel just as
the baron was about to carry her off TO his
donjon keep. There is a class-and large
cass--of readers to whom this order of
literature is fascinating. Though the
profits on each number of the novels were
small. the aggregate reward was sufficient
TO enable Beadle to retire with moderate
fortune when he gave up the business five
years ago.
he. was hardly abused man in his time,
and the dime novel became a byword for
vile literature. He did not deserve his bad
name. nor did his novels warrant the Sc
verify of the censure they attracted. They
were certainly not improving; but they
were Invariably moral, there was not a.
scene which was open to cavil on the
ground of propriety. virtue always tri-
umphed over vice in the end, and they all
taught the lesson that il you want to be
happy you must be good. It used to be
