BOOK DISTRIBUTION BY NEWS
PAPERS.

A number of newspapers are attempt
ing to make the people believe that by
cutting coupon out of their pages and
inclosing the same and 10 cents to the
publication office, they will receive at an
astonishing reduction any one of long
list of novels, histories, biographies and
essays.
Let US see, 10 cents for cash, 2 cents for
postage and the cost of the paper to get
the coupon-but cast the latter out-12
cents must be expended and letter writ
ten to get a cheap volume, better than
which any one of hundreds of volumes
can be bought at most book stores for 10
cents, or in lots of fifty-two, for about
cents.
That is to say, there are libraries pub
volume in excellent print, on fine paper,
edited by distinguished authors and
critics. EN- mbracing in their list such works
as those of Scott, Dickens, Bulwer, Bacon,
Reade, Black, Irving, Emerson, Shake
speare, Bronte, Lubbock, Ben Jonson,
Thackeray. Macaulay, Cooper, Haw
thorne an0 all the standard novelists, es-
sayists, writers of travel and adventure,
and such classical works as Plutarch's
Lives, The Iliad, Odyssey and the like,
and the poems of Goethe, Lessing,
Tennyson, Poe, Byron. Moore, Words
worth and others; exploration records
from Marco Palo to DR.. Kane, Sir John
Franklin and Stanley; lectures, sermons
and speeches from Wilberforce, Swift,
Kingsley and Richmond to Dow, Web
ster, D. Israeli and the masters of language
generally, past and present. of Europe
and America. These novels are uniform,
and generally accompanied by editorial
introduction and notes that add greatly
to their value. One such library of high
character that we could name furnishes
a volume week for 10 cents week, or
the fifty-two for the year for S.. Others
make even lower offers.
There is not the slightest objection to
newspapers using legitimate literature in
cheap volumes for premiums, but in the
interests of fair play the people should
understand that cheap volumes, far
superior in character, print and manner
Of presentation, can be had of reputable
publishers at precisely the price offered
by newspapers, as rule. The people
should not be deceived in this matter
the honor of journalism demands that the
exact truth be known: there is not in the
matter of securing books monthly to be
read, any saving by the coupon device
and 10 cents added, in selecting books
that may be had direct at the same figure
"a fact of which any reputable book
seller can convince any person.

THE Wilson bill has passed the lower
house of Congress in tumult of excite
ment on both sides, and of especial en-
thusiasm on the part of the Democrats.
Mr.. Geary of California voted against the
bill. He agreed with Mr.. Reed of Maine
that the Wilson bill is not free trade
bill, nor yet is it protection bill as the
Republican side interpret protection.
But, as we understand it, the Democracy
has continuously denied that it is for free
trade, as Republicans interpret it. Mr..
Geary, the Democrat, is from Republi-
can district. When, therefore, he aband
oned his pledges to his party and voted
with the Republican radical protection
lists. he played the demagogue. Mr..
Geary is consistent in but one thing-in
his demagogy.

DR.. LYMAN ABBOTT and Mrs. Joseph
inc Shaw Lowell both advance at one
time in the same magazine, the Forum.
the idea that 'the best solution Of the
problem of poverty is through the per-
sonal work of well-to-do people directed
with discretion toward the personal help
of particular families or individuals. If
every person in comfortable circum-
stances were to make it part of his duty
to give proper aid and personal encour-
agement to some person less fortunately
situated. the whole problem of poverty
would isappear-except, of course, that
portion OF it which nothing can cure. the
portion that has its origin in a helpless
breakdown of character or of health, or
BOTH" Good That is wise; that is
Christlike in thought. "If' each person
on this broad tootstool would but do his
and her duty toward his and her fellow
beings-"if" l-ahl the millennial dawn

SAYS the Santa Rosa Republican:
Every miscarriage of justice gives en-
couragement to the criminal classes and
promotes vice." Hence it Is that there is
rejoicing in murderers' row whenever
one OF the elect goes free of adequate
punishment. The criminal class knows

THE BOSS BoBS UP.

Boss Buckley has again laid his
gentle hand on the head of Demo
cracy in San Francisco and proposes
to lead it, as of yore, to victory and
spoils. 1t was not understood by
the rank and file of the local De
mocracy that Buckley was to do
anything of the sort until after the
results of the Assembly district
elections on the night of July 24th :;
it was then learned with much
patriotic disgust that the Boss had
played some of his old, old tricks
on the Democracy of the city by
the sea and had secured control of
the primaries. In consequence
there is much gloom at the demo-
cratic headquarters, as the rank
and file is not in it little bit with
Boss Buckley III the lead. The
chances of a sure Republican vic
tory are in consequence being daily
increased as good democrats bolt
the party in preference to playing
the role of lamb to Buckley's
"Shepherd.

BY POPULAR VOTE

By a two-thirds majority the
House of Representatives has voted
that an amendment to the Constitu-
ton providing for the election of
United States Senators by popular
vote, shall be submitted to the legis-
latures of the States for ratification
as provided by law. For years the
question of electing the Senate by
the direct vote of the people has
been periodically discussed, but,
heretofore, has taken no definite
shape. The proposed amendment
is one which will meet with much
opposition from the conservative and
wealthy classes, as it is almost GER
tain to meet with the hearty appro-
val of the middle and lower classes.
The dissension will probably bring
prominently to the front the ques-
ton of the tendency of republican
forms of government to centraliza-
tiou and will certainly do more good
than harm, even if it is finally re-
jected by the State legislatures.
