Secretary Northup, whose position was
voted to DR.. J. w. Houser, Of Taylor.
Only eleven answered the roll call, but
seven others strolled in soon afterward.
F. M. Francis, of Dalton, took the
floor and made the suggestion that the
meeting should at once take up the
business Of electing a perman nent chair
man. He questioned the right of Mr..
Watkins in assuming himself even tenn
porary chairman. r. Willis Reese, of
Oiu = vi So HlOsCu " ChCCI a
chairman, and 1t carried. John Nc
Crindle. Of Moosic, was nominated
against Ndr. Watkins and was elected
by to 8 vote.
For secretary. DR.. Houser, F. NJ.
Francis, Of Dalton. and Patrick F..
Judge. Of Duryea, were nominated. Dr.
Houser was chosen against Francis by
. vote of to 8, Mr.. Judge declining.
There was some bantering in select
ing date for the primaries and a day
and place for the convention. 1t was
agreed upon that the primaries shall
be held on Saturday, Aug. 2, and the
convention in the court house on the
Tuesday following. Dalton and Taylor
were also named as places for holding
the convention, but they did not meet
the favor Of t1e convention. Even the
delegates froh Taylor voted against
that place.

The Crux of the Money Controversy

Louis A. Garrett in the January Forum.
II we compare the value of gold,
as measured by its purchasing
power, with the prices Of leading
funded securities founded upon
material wealth and national
credit-with farming-lands, towns
and city property-or with the
wages Of labor as paid in leading
industries, and which in this coun-
try alone, largely exceed annually
all the metallic money of the
world, we shall find that so far
from gold having appreciated" or
risen in value during the period Of
"falliDg prices" it has perceptibly
deprecated and shows a marked
loss of purchasing-power. If, in

The Paw of Journalists.

Capt. Henry King, in the January Forum
In New York City the salaries
are higher than anywhere else,
partly because of the superior
standard Of proficiency, and partly
because the cost Of living is greater
there than in any other large city.
One editor-in-chief has the same
salary as the president of the
United States, $4,000 per year, and
others receive from $4,000 to $12,-
600, or more than members of the
Cabinet. Managing editors are
paid from 500 to $3.50 per
week, or a better compensa-
ton than that of Senators and
Representatives in Congress. Edit
torial writers get from $50 to $75
per week as rule, and in case OF
rare ability as much as the aver
age salary of a managing editor
City editors receive from $50 to $75
per week, and in few instances
500. The pay Of news editors is
about equal to that Of city editors.
Literary, theatrical, and musical
critics averge $50 per week. Copy
readers are paid from $40 to S45 per
week. Reporters earn all the way
from $l5 to $50 per week, with an
average Of $40, and space-writers
Of particular talent have been
known to make as much as 1925
per week, though the Limitation
Of topics and the pressure Of COM
petition usually keep their in
comes down around those of the
best paid reporters. There are
some writer's for syndicates Of
newspapers, men with names that
have a certain value, who earn
from $4,000 to $4,000 per year; and
there are others of first-class tech
nical capacity in various lines
whose salaries occasionally reach
$4,000. The pay Of all classes Of
journalists averages 10 per cent
lower in Brooklyn than in New
York.

Dickens Place in Literature.

NlShOhS taSO III
Frederic Harrison, in the January Forum.
The glory OF Charles Dickens
will also be in his "Pickwick,' his
first, his best, his inimitable tri-
umph. 1t is true that it is a novel
without a plot, without beginning,
middle or end, with much more Of
caricature than of character, with
some extravagant tomfoolery, and
plenty OF vulgarity. But it's orig
inality, it's irrepressible drolleries,
its substantial human nature, and
it's intense vitality, place it quite
in a class by itself. We can no
more group it, or test it by any
cannon Of criticism, than we could
"Pantagruel" or Faust" There
are some works of genius which
seem to transcend all criticism, Of
which the very eXtravagances and
incoherences increase the charm.
And Pickwick ought to live with
Gil Bias and Tristram Shandy. In
a deeper vein, the tragic scenes in
"Oliver Twist" and in "Barnaby
Ridge" must long hold their
ground, for they can be read and
re.read in youth, in manhood, in
old age. The story Of DothebOys
Hall, the Yarmouth memories Of
Copperfield, little Nell Mrs. Camp,
Mlcawler, Toots, Captain Cutie,
Pecksniff, and many more will
long continue to delight the youth
Of the English speaking races. But
few writer's are remembered SO
keenly by certain characters, GER
tain scenes, Incidental whimsis,
and so little for entire novels treat
ed strictly as works OF art. There
is no reason whatever for pretend
ing that all these scores of tales
are at all to be compared with the
best OF them, or that the invention
Of some intmitable scenes and
characters is enough to make a
supreme and faultless artist. The
young and the uncritical make
too much of Charles Dickens,
when they fail to distinguish be-
tween his best and his worst.
Their fastidious seniors make too
little OF him, when they note his
many shortcomings and fail to see
that n,certain elements OF humor
he has no equal and no rival. II
we mean Charles Dickens to live
must fix our eye on these supreme
gifts alone,

division in the Interior Department has
been designated by Secretary Smith to
make a special inspection of the govern
ment works and leased properties at the
Hot Springs of Arkansas The improve
ments at the Hot Springs have been in

years, and tIr. Cooper is most thoroughly
informed as to the history of the develop
meEts there. There remains on hand of
the government appropriation for buildings,
highways and other improvements at the
springs $5o0O0, $4,000 having been
spent there within the last year or two.
The expenditure of the fund on hand will
depend much on Maj. Coopers report.
While the Secretary has the fullest conf
dcnce i'll the efficiency and integrity of Mr..
Little, the superintendent of the Hot
Springs reservation, Maj Cooper has been
instructed to secure quarters outside of the
hotels belonging to lessees from the gov
ernment and to make his inspection as
thorough possible. no limit being placed
upon the time allowed for the purpose.
