AN AMERICAN STARTED 1.-THE YELLOW
BOOK"
It's decidedly noteworthy that an
other periodical, which has occasioned
more comment probably than any other
magazine since Thackeray began the
"Cornhill," should be the work Of an
American. THE Yellow Book" is
quite undeniably the most up to-
date thing 10 the way OF litera-
ture in this or any other country. 1t
has all the oddly and originality which
such fin de steele young men as Aubrey
Beardsley and Oscar Wilde and their
like could infuse into it, but its project
or and inspiring genius is Henry Har-
land, better known as Sydney Luska. )"
This audacous young man, who has
set out to revolutionize English ideas
and cannons OF art and literature, Is
a New York boy, born in this city a
little over thirty-three years ago. Some
how or other he began his literary
career in Rome, where be assisted two
Italians. a Greek and an American in
editing an English newspaper. Here be
made the acquaintance Of sll those
Young artists and writers who 90 to
Rome TO study, and became so infected
with their life that when he came back
home and entered a surrogste's office
the first thing be did was to put a pad
of paper on top OF his Blackstone and
start writing novel; de
knew great deal OF the life
of the Jews, and in search
or something fresh in fiction he wrote
his first novel out Of this knowledge.
When las 1t Was Written" appeared it

which followed, Jared better, and Mr..
Rarland was made rich enough TO take
his wife to the Paris Latin Quarter and
live among the scenes which be has so
yiyidly described. Later be drifted to
London and fell IN with that bizarre
group OF which Wilde and Whistler and
Richard lie GallienEe are conspicuous
figures. The result was THE Yellow

matter. 40 every mau who has ever un-

BRET HARTE'S EvENTFUL CAREER.
Ills rather strange tLi.g that the
American writer in LOt don who per-
baps ranks next 10 Mr.. James should
be Bret Harta, the creator OF John Oak
hurst and PJEer Fiat. Bret Harte
struggled up to a literary career
through devious aud difficult paths
He was an Albany boy, and when the
gold fever swept over the East, be as q
lad of Is, turned ArgOuauc with many
another American youth. When be
reached the land OF the Golden
Niece he, like so many others, dipped
into almost everything which would az
sord him a livelihood. OF course he
tried mining and then taught school,
learned TO set type and tried his hand
on a country newspaper. All these
falling. he turned express rider, and IL
was here, doubtless, that he gained 80
many OF those vivid experiences which
he has put In his stories.

SENATOR CAmERON's LErTEs.

The National Republican League met
at Denver last Tuesday and waslargely ct.
tended. The most interesting feature OF
the proceedings was the letter from Sena-
tor Don Cameron Of Pennsylvania, In
which he takes a strong position for sill
yer. The strongest thing about the let.
ter, however, is it's pronounced Ameri-
canism-that the United States is fully
able to set the financial pace and main.
tain IL irrespective Of Europe. He is
only reiterating what the honest. thinking
men Of all parties have been advocas'
ing for years. Cameron says "protec-
tion and free silver must 60 together"
Senator Stewart, in substance, said the
same thing in q speech in the Senate re.
Gently, when he declared that "if the
United States adopted England's single
gold standard, the free trade policy OF
England would also have to be adopted
by this country" But Senator Came
ron desires bimetallism established
through the Republican party. Ii the
majority Of the members Of that party
do not experience a change Of heart in
this respect Judging from their past
record on silver the Senator's hopes
are in vain.
