Good Thing for Alma.

Alma, Mich, May 27.-Toledo, Ann Ar
Dor & Northern Michigan railroad officials
have informed the Alma people that they
wished to change the route of their road so
that 1t would be a direct line from Ithaca
and asked for the right of way through the
village. Alma has very gladly accepted
the proposition. Two proposed routes
through the village have been surveyed and
just submitted to the company. At present
the road runs through the very northern
venient as they take roundabout way to
reach st. Louis and Alma. They are to cut
St. Louis off from their line and put direct
line from Ithaca through the central portion
about mile north of here. An elegant
union depot will be built with the Detroit,
Lansing & Northern, thus doing away
with the old Toledo & Ann Arbor depot.
This will cut ST. Louis three miles away
from the Toledo, Ann Arbor 81 Northern
Michigan road and it is said she will natur-
ally make big fight against the change.

The most attractive feature of the

ments accompanied the music, which
was beautifully sung. At the close there
was scarce murmur OF applause. Feel
ing was intense and the audience showed
greater appreciation by quietly with
drawing. There was great awe upon all
as if phantom fingers had for moment
drawn the veil aside which separates us
from the unknown, and spirit had

REPUBLICAN INDEED.

a weekly paper which has occupied
the doubtful political position of an
Independent" now comes out as "a
Republican paper in all that the term
implies" As evidence that it means
what it says it announces that silver
is losing ground and concludes a tri-
ple-bodied article, designed to show
what are the indications of that back
ward movement, by saying: There is
nothing for the West to do but pa
tiently continue the campaign Of edu-
cation and accept without complaining
what we can get as we go along"
That is indeed Republican in all
that the term implies" so far as the
silver question is concerned. 1t prac-
tically gives up the fight. In effect it
intimates that the great issue of the
coming campaign is not to be silver
reconciliation. 1t is one OF the nu-
merous evidences that the Republican
party is not free silver party.
AS to the Campaign of education"
which it is willing should go on, what
sort of a campaign does it advocate?
It says:
THE silver states are not in posi-
ton to dictate. A financial determine
ton to force their views upon unwil-
ling or Indifferent minds is liable to
produce a damaging reaction. Our
friendly neighbors of the middle states
cannot be driven to our support"
This is the mild and m1Ik-and-water
sort of a campaign for silver that our
new-hedged Republican contemporary
is willing to have go on.
The proofs multiply that we need not
expect any definite action to be taken
for the restoration Of silver by the Re-
publican prty. The remarks of the pa
an which we have quoted go to
show that it is making ready to hedge,
and while heretofore it has been out
spoken and bold in its championship
of the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1,
Independently of all other nations. it
is now ready with the rest of the par
ty which it intends to support and de-
fend TO take a straddle on the most vi /
tai question of the times. It could not
give any stronger proof that it is Re
publican in all that the term implies" |

THE WOOL QUESTION.

The wool question is a great source
Of perplexity to high tariff advocates.
It is evident from experience that
protection in this case does not pro-
tect. The price of wool goes down
under the highest tariff rates, and be-
gins to come up as soon as those rates
are removed.
Republican papers that are respec-
table and frank refrain from saying
much on this subject just now, but the
other kind, of which our morning con-
temporary is a striking example, make
all kinds of rash statements and quote
many misleading figures for the pur-
pose of escaping from the logic Of
their own propositions.
The Tribune has made so many con-
flicting assertions as to sheep and
wool under the high tariff and under
free trade, that it is difficult to follow
it through all its meanderings. But
we will quote some of its latest mis-
takes. to use the mildest term admis-
sable. On Friday it stated:
In 1S9O-91, under the operations of the
Mckinley law, medium wool averaged
81 cents per pound in the Eastern

SILVER NEXT YEAR.

That those who are hostile ito silver
should desire the issue TO be dead is
very natural; but their desires do not
control in the matter. 1t is q common
saying that if a falsehood is repeated
often enough people will eventually
accept it as truth. The enemies Of
silver are we'll aware of this and are
acting upon t. They are saying that
the silver craze" as they are pleased
to term it. has reached its zenith and
is dying out. Not so. There are
fewer silver conventions, it is true,
but a convention is merely prelimi-
nary to the real work to be done.
The gold bugs are assuming that this
preliminary work, work that must
be done, was merely for display It is
a very false assumption as they will
find out between now and the time
for the holding of the presidential
nominating conventions. 1t will be
the one great xsue before those
bodies next year. There will be
others no doubt, but they will be of
secondary Importance. An agitation
that has been carried on for two de-
cades; that has never retreated but
always advanced; that is nearer
triumph today than ever before, is not
to be stayed then annihilated on the
ipse dixit of those whose interest it is
that it should cease. There will be
no dying out of the silver question; the
gold bugs but deceive themselves
when they say otherwise.

ARE scoTTs NOVELS FORGOTTEN

Few things so rouse a man as an at
tack upon favorite author Such an
attack is an attack upon his judgment,
his taste, things dear to him as his
honor. His judgment and taste are
the fruit of his reading and his re-
Election; they are the evidences of
what culture he may have. A writer in
the Westminster Review for July has
an article entitled 1.-The Waverley
Novels-After Sixty Years" The
writer is one D. F. Hannigan, and he
IS no adrnirer of the Wizard of the
North. In the opinion of Mr.. Hannigan
to be such an admirer is to belong to
the "fogey Species" We are afriad
that the ''fogey species is not dead,
in fact that it is rather increasing.
The Review writer says that it would
be idle to deny that the "Waverley
Novels enjoyed marvellous popular
ity during the lifetime of their author,
and for many years after his DEATH"
Quite idle indeed, in view of the fact
that their popularity was the marvel of
the time, their appearance one OF the
great landmarks in the history Of Eng
lsh literature.

judge by the only criterion-new edi-
tons, elaborate and expensive, not the
cheap kind printed on poor paper in
poorer type. Within two years two of
the handsomest editions of the Waiver
ley novels that have ever been printed
have appeared: one known in England
as the Border edition, edited by An
drew Lang, and in this country as the

and sold by subscription. and was
numbered. OF I. is edition the London
Times said it would be the standard

milan & Co. When by chance
copy of the famous Abbotsford edition
comes into the market it very soon
finds purchaser at a big price. So
much for galvanizing these half-for-
gotten novels into life"
Mr.. Hannigan says that in his study
of character Scott is as superficial as
Dickens. This is a. case where COM
parison is not odious There are PEG
pie who think that characters in novels
are merely subjects of psychological
analysis; that their characteristics
should be measured by the Bertillion
system The result might be more &C

structed on the most approved theory
of the modern novelist, having all
those attributes THAI are wanting, hap
PLY, in the heroines of Scott; yet who
would trade a Di Vernon, a Green
Mantle. a Rose Bradwardine or a Flo
IA MacIvor for her? The charge is
made that the great novelist Che is not
termed great by Mr.. Hannigan) does
not thrill his reader not teach him any
thing new about life. That he does not
thrill his reader is a question for the
jury; that he does not teach him any
thing new about life, is that the par
ticular province Of the novelist? We
think not. Few novels written
with a purpose, to bring about a reform,
ever become great. Uncle Toms Cab
in is the most notable example of the
kind. Mr.. Hannigan takes his novel
reading too seriously; tracts and SER
mons would be better suited to him.
So sure is he in his own mind that
Scott is dead that he even shuts out
the hope Of a future life for him. 1--WE
may, therefore, fairly assume that
we are anticipating the verdict of pos
terity in declaring that of the once-fa-
nous WaVerley moves. only some three
or four will be read at all in the twen-
tieth century" 1t is a pleasant thing
to anticipate the verdict of posterity,
it is fattering to the present, but
then posterity, like the present, will
probably be perverse and insist upon
rendering its own verdict in accord
ance with the evidence before it. This
is wise generation, for this genera
ton says it is, and who can know it
so well as it knows itself? But wisdom
will not die with it. There are those
who say Ibsen is greater than Shakes
peare, but they are mistaken. There
are those who say Scott's novels are
half-forgotten, but they are not
Mr. Hannigan has succeeded only in
deceiving himself.

UTAH EDITORS COMMENT.
RepubIican Corruption.

The Republican party of Utah will never
be trusted again by the people, unless ii
purges itself from The TribIIns's severe
charges of corruption. The people of
Utah are d Clearly, honorable people and
will encourage no resemblance OF Cali
fornia methods. The Tribune makes clear
the fact that an effort is now being made
by a California corporation to foist a
tool of ITS own into the Senate of the
Utah, ana also that the only claim that
he has upon the people OF this young
state is, he is well supplied with money.
Both Mr.. Trumbo and his fellow con-
spiratorS may as well understand now
as later on, that they haven't at their
command 4 sufficient sum of money, to
complete the JOB. 1t will prove an uphill
