THE LITERARY HACK.


His Income OF 5000 "a Year and How
He Gets 1t.
Hack writer's, who are also bohe-
mians, tell pretty yarns about the
great sums of money that they earn.
l fancy that tho bohemian hack usu-
ally computes his earnings in this
way: When he conceives an idea for
500 article, he counts that he has
made 800, Then when he gets an
order for the article he counts 800.
When he writes it, there is another
hundred; when he turns it in to the
editor, another hundred; when it is
accepted, another; when he gets the
money, still another. So with this
ono poor little article the sanguine
and cheerful bohemian hack will in
tho end, according to his happy
method Of computation, have made
$500. No wonder that we hear of lit
orary hacks who make $4,000 and
$40, 000ayoar. But they do not make
it by II long shot. 1t is not possible
for II hack unless he have some spe-
cial and exceptional good luck to

1t is poor time for calamity
bowling, thinks the New York Her
aid. "Thanks to the halt called on
protection and ON the mischlcvous
purchase of silver, the country is on
the highway to prosperity. With
business reviving in every quarter,
financial stability returning, mills
and factories starting up, wages adj
vancing and other signs of better
times ON all sides. and with every
prospect that the revenues Of the
government will steadily improve
under the new tariff. it is discour-
aging time for calamity bowling or
trying to show that the nation is rum
ming to bankruptcy"
There is every indication that the
present business revival will be of the
right sort, that is. permanent. if the
present tariff is let alone, and it can't
be mcddled with for Il year or two,
anyway. And there will be less and
less demand for a return to "Repub-

business is improving under a lower

those familiar with the circumstances,

sufficiently strong to suggest the advlsa-

itself to the minds of intelligent people

SIZE SOLD HER DIARY.
How a Girl Turned the Edge of n joke
to the Benefit of the Poor.

There seems to be nolimit to woman's
self sacrifice when she once takes char
table object to heart. This is the story of
girl who sold her diary, and you have to
be woman to realize all that that means.
1t was on shipboard, and it happened on
tho way over from Liverpool. The girl
was millioDaires daughter and in adj
dition to devoting her pocket money to
the East Side mission, of which she was a
patroness, she spent most of her leisure
time crocheting wonderful and altogether
useless nofhings, which she persuaded her
rich admirers to buy at fabulous prices for
the benefit of the poor. She had devoted
the entire trip to this pretty work, except
for an hour a day, which she spent in fill
ing her diary with such sentimental OBJ
servations as misses of 20 or thereabout
are apt to find expression for on the inno-
cent white pages of their diaries.
The friends she had victimized on the
way over by Turing dollars from their
pockets in exchange for her chocheted
things made much sport of her diary
and at last conspired against her peace of
mind.
Now, say, Miss Blank" said one of
them in pursuance of the plot, 1--WE have
decided to strike. We are not going to
help your tenement house heather cents
worth more unless you sell us your diary.
How much will you take for iti"
How much will you give?' asked the
girl after little thought.
Five dollars was then bid and refused
Miss Blank then playfully put the pre-
cious volume up at auction, and the men
in the party. never dreaming that she
could DO in earnest, piled bid upon bid
until the price stood at SEQ.
Tho diary is yours, Mr.. JONES'" said
the girl to the successful bidder, "but re-
member my terms are spot cash, with the
further condition that you leave it with
me until l can make a copy for myself"
The laugh was on Jones, and his COM
panions forced him to pay down the mon
oy on the spot. Miss Blank delivered the
diary, and Of course all that the unlucky
joker could do was to return it unopened

The political status of Jones OF Nevada,

Republicans to organize the Senate. But
Organized in such a way the party in the
Senate would hardly be prepared to fully
represent the Republican principles
In the disposal Of measures. Moreover
b.hind Congress stands the President
likely to veto any tariff measure which
may not meet with his theories. In the
words Of Mr. Reed, Saturday evening
:" We have, unfortunately, diVidsd gov
emmett Continuing he said rather
than run risks, we can afford TO Wait
until matured plans give us assurance
of permanent benefit. He does not,
boweyer in any way endcavor to avoid
the manifest duty of Congress, and no
Iess the duty Of the Democratic admins
tration. that Of providing in some manner
for the deficit in the revenue. 1t is fair to
presume that the President will advocate
legislation whereby this deficit may be
raised by means of internal revenue.
The Democrats preferred to issue bonds
at rates very disadyantageous than to
take the responsibility Of attempting to
make good the deficiency in the revenue
by any addition to the system of inte rnal
taxation. Nevertheless they doubtless
will be very free to tell the Republicans
just how it should he done. On the
other hand an attempt to raise any con-
siderable amount over that now derived
from internal revenue would be contrary
to the principles of the Republican party;
and though worse than useless, with
doubtful Senate and hostile executive,
to attempt a thorough revision of the
tariff, it is presumable some changes will
be made for the purpose of affording
adequate revenue
The task, however, is difficult one
and 1t Is indeed unfortunate that the party
has not the power to carry thrC u Oh SEN
sible tariff measure to meet the demands
of the situation. As it Is there will be-
undoubtedly, much difficulty encountered
in meeting such demands as are inpera-
tive. There is no question but what Mr..
Reed will use every endeavor to have the
legislation as economical as possible and
in this we feel confident he will receive
the support not only of the House but of
the majority in the Senate. The fact,
however, should not be overlooked that
the last Congress failed to appropriate
enough to meet necessary demands and
thar not only deficient revenue remains
to be provided for, but old bills out
standing must be met. Moreover, Mr..
Reed will, in so far as it is possible for any
speaker TO expedite business do so. But
it should be borne IN mind that since 1871
Congress has never adjourned the long
session before juno 10 and since 1880 has
never adjourned until later than June.
