The Conductor Played a Thinking
Part

One Of the platform passengers was a
long, lank owl-faced man, with wide
eyes a sandy mustache and a soft. country
looking hat. says the New Orleans Times
Democrat. The latter was mashed rak-
tshly over the left ear Its owner was
evidently very drunk.
The car sped on. Steadily. unwaveringly
the wide eyes Of the big man on the plat
form were fixed upon the polite little con-
ductor- Fer I'VE squares the keen scrutiny
was kept uD-
Then the big man spoke He pushed his
hat back on his forehead so that his shag-
81 yellow name hung down over his eyes,
took his quid Of tobacco out Of his mouth,
and then reached over and touched the
conductor on the shoulder.

The little conductor leaned his head back
Il say know what you're thinking

The little conductor smiled and looked
into the car 10 see that ali was well.

Disguised at the silent indifference Of
his enemy, the long, lank man stood for
some time in silence. Then he chose to
believe that the conductor had insulted
him in another way. He said:

Not a word from the conductor.

For the first time the little gray-haired
conductor looked around and smiled.
There was confederate veteran badge on
the lapel of his coat, and the goOd-natured
lines round his mouth had grim peculiar
look, as If they could change to some
thing else when the time came.

Books READ BY the Young.


What kind Of hooks are the young people
% the day reading2 on trains. on street
cars. at winter and summer resorts. and
ia the homes too often. they may be seen
deeply engrossed in the pages Of the cheap
paper-backed books with which the pub
fishers have flooded the country. Upon
investigation il would probably be found
that most Of these books are totally unfit
20 be permitted within the reach Of the
plant and susceptible minds of the
youthful
Cheap books are not to be de-
cried because many cheap books
are vicious in their influence. Many
Of the best works OF the mas
ters Of literature. books that teach
correct morals and inspire noble SEN
timents in their readers, are now produced
IN the inexpensive editions. SO low have
the prices OF really fine and standard
novels been brought that there is no ex-
cuse for buying literary trash in prefer
ence. and no reason for so doing can be
suggested unless it be that the literary
appetite Of the times is degcnerated.
more attention has been paid to the pro-
duction and circulation of novels and
other literature Of the erotic school than
to any other kinds. There have, indeed,
been many good and wholesome novels
given to the public recently. But the
majority of modern novels are Of the
dangerous class-books that teach lncor-
rect ideas Of life and its obligations,
that tend to diminish respect for insti-
tutions that should be held sacred, and
in some instances to scar the conscience
as With a red hot iron.
This may be charged in a measure to
the publishers. unless It be conceded that
years ago all Of the great and moral plots
were exhausted, and all of the varying
moods Of legitimate passion fully ex-
plotted before the modern writer came
upon the scene. But 1t must be remem-
bered that the publishers merely cater to
the wants of the public. If the public de-
manded novels of a higher moral tone.
there is no doubt they would be forth
coming.
If there is to be a reform in current
literature, therefore, the movement must
be begun among the readers. And the
parents and guardians Of the young are
the proper persons to institute the reform.
1t would probably not be amiss to say
that the greater proportion of the OBJ
jectionable paper-back novels find their
way into the hands of boys and girls
under twenty years of age. And It might
also be asserted that the girls read more
Of them than the boys. How many par
ents exercise a proper supervision of the
reading OF their children? Is 1t not just
as important that proper mental food as
proper physical food shall be supplied?
Is it reasonable to expect healthy men
tai and moral development where impure
pabulum has been the nourishment?
In this era Of cheap books it is possible
for almost every parent to put in the
hands Of his children the works of such
authors as Dickens. Scott, Simms, Cooper
and hundreds Of others, including later
authors, whose stories are instructive and
healthfu.

Ex-Congressman Richard Vaux of Penn
sylvania, whose death was reported in
our dispatches yesterday. was a distin-
guished citizen of Philadelphia, who had
held numerous positions of honor; yet the
incident in his life that has been most
talked about was his dancing with queen
Victoria in their young days. When he
was a young man he was secretary Of the
American lega ton in London. and it
was during that time he danced with the
queen. Mr.. Vaux was also in the diplo-
matte. service in Belgium for a time. He
was for one term the mayor Of Philadel-
phia, and was the successor TO Samuel
J. Randall in congress.

II Germany should call an International

Congress appointed six delegates and

resolution OF congress. for carrying out
the provisions OF which 10000 was appro-
priated.
But il conference should be called.
ana its purpose should not be exactly
that stated in the resolution Of congress.
the President would not be precluded from
appointing delegates TO IL. He could. and
doubtless would. appoint delegates. but ne
would do so. IN all probability. without
any reference to the action of congress.
The delegates appointed by congress
might be shut out. and the appropriation
might not be available, but congress. no
doubt. would pay whatever expenses
might be incurred.
If Germany should call a conference and
the purpose Of it should not be the FIX
ing Of common ratio and free coinage,
It would be a mistake for this country
not to take part In It. II free coinage
by internationl agreement cannot be OBJ
tanned at a bound, but can be reached
probably by successive steps. why not
reach it in that way? II is certain that
the President will not let any opportunity
pass unimproved for securing an inter
national agreement in respect to silver.
He understands fully the danger with
which silver threatens this country, and
he VIII leave nothing undone to avert It.
II Is safe to assume. therefore. that this
country viii be represented in any inter-
national silver conference that may be
called. whether the immediate purpose IS
to make the coinage Of silver free or not.
But while the nations are talking Of a
silver conference the gold miners are
gradually settling the silver question. The
longer free silver coinage is delayed the
narrower the gap between silver and
gold coin will become. The increase in
the production of gold is remarkable,
while the output OF silver is falling off.
Last year the production of gold amounted
to SIT. III, 4s0. That is a much greater sum
than was ever before produced in any
year in the history of mining; and this
country leads in gold production. The
output Of this year is expected to greatly
exceed that Of last year. With such an
increase n the gold production it will
not be many years before the bullion in
a silver dollar VIII be worth dollar in
gold. When that is the case there win
cease to be any silver question. In order

line of ola-tlme democracy. The family

six commissioners on the part of this
country and President Cleveland has vet
TO name three commissioners to complete

While all fair minded people hope that
the conference. # held, will result in an
agreement generally acceptable, the out
look IS scarcely promising. The recent
conference at Brussels accomplished
nothing whatever Mere agitation of the
question without prospect OF substantial
results would in all probability, do more
