UNCLASSIFIED REFLECTIONS.

The Journal recently published a sem
tence or two from a private letter writ
ten by a lady of some literary instincts,
but who has never written anything for
publication. On seeing a bit of her COM
position and her name in print, she
writes: You don't know what rash
thing that may lead me to do. 1 may
even attempt to write for publication.
II is a dangerous thing to once see ones
self in print. 1t incites one to all sorts
of nonsense" This lady comes of a lit
erary family, and, by the law of hered-
ity, ought to be IN author, but as yet
she is not. Her light, but, perhaps, half
serious, remark suggests an interesting
line of thought.
No doubt there are man. persons like
this lady, undeveloped writer's who have
the elements of authorship in them,
who, by the avs of nature and heredity,
ought to be creators and producers in
literature, but who do not become SO
simply through failure to get started on
that line. They are the mute, inglori-
Gus Millions" the songless birds, the
voiceless poets, the undeveloped authors
of an unborn literature.
But it is hard to repress genius en-
tirely and permanently. AS a very small
spark may fire a train that will kindle
a great co~nf1agration, so an apparently
Insignificant circumstance may release
intellectual forces that will move the
world. A young VOLTS first taste of
blood is a turning point in it's life, and
an undeveloped authors first taste of
fame may prove equally so. The first
sight of ones self in print is apt to have
a peculiar effect, and may prove the
starting point of lasting emotions and
activities. Old actors testify that while
popular applause never ceases TO be de-
lightful, the first round they ever re-
ceived had a charm and flavor that no
later one ever possessed. Orators say
that the first discovery of their power
gave them more happiness han any
subsequent exercise of it. And probably
SO it is with writer's, that the first sight
of ones SELF in print produces a deeper
and more pleasurable thrill han any
subsequent appearance.
The editor of such a paper as the
Journal, in the exercise of a critical
Judgment or the enforcement of a high
standard. has to reject a great many
contributions which the authors think
are more worthy of publication than
much they see in print. 1t is unfortu-
nate that authors and publishers or ed
itors cannot always agree. but it seems
to have been ordered otherwise The
sympathetic editor must sometimes hav
a feeling that in the thousands of spring
poems he or she may have rejected

jective than he-there may have been

The reasons assigned for the rise in
the price of beef are plausible. The
receipts of cattle at Omaha, Kansas
City and Chicago during the past three
months were 231, 900 less thar during the
corresponding period of last year, and
2Si, 900 less than during the first three
months of 1893. 1t is claimed that the
supply of beef cattle in the great feed
ing States is 40 per cent. less than a
year ago, and that the shortage in range
stock is fully 25 per cent. The cause
for the shortage is the drought of last
season along the Missouri river and in
the Sioux reservations. where Texas
cattle are driven for p~asturage. The
short corn crop has had its effect. Be
sides these causes. the low price of cat
tie for several years has caused a de-
cline I'm production. Many of the big
cattle companies have gone out of the
business. These are natural causes.
and consequently the advance of prices
is natural. Supply and demand have
and always will govern prices. When
the supply is in excess of the demand
no human ingenuity can prevent low
prices. On the other hand. no combina-
ton OF bears can prevent "A rise of

Debs, who has been in California try
ing to organize his American Railway
Union, is reported as saying that the
strike is not a remedy because it las
been tried and has been found made
quate. Mr.. Debs seems to have profited
by his experience. Among other things
which he is reported as saying is that
the people will not stand a strike which
interferes with the whole business and
industry of the country. Again, Mr..
Debs is to be commended for his sa-
gacity in that it has led him to see that
the very people who may nave been
counted on to sustain strikes will be
found to be opposed to them when they
deprive whole sections of their markets,
make the products of their labor value
less and impose general idleness, caus-
ing hundreds of thousands to suffer.
Still, SO long as Mr.. Debs is about the
country as a dictator, it would be well
to have the courts make clear the right
of the United States government to pre-
vent Interference with interstate COM

The School Board of New Castle, Pa,
has formally resolved hat hereafter
only the King James version of the BIZ
BILE shall be read in the public schools
of that place. This action was the re-
suit of an investigation made by the
Junior o. Z. A. NJ, in which it was
found that a certain teacher was read

ing the Catholic version of the Lords
Prayer. The proper way out of that
difficulty would have been to omit Bible
reading in the schools. By what right
