SOLICITING FOR FAIRS.
Another Protest Against the Custom
Raised by Business Man.


Editor Times; 1 was much interested in
an article that appeared in your issue of
this morning signed "Business Man. un
der the caption of Pairs That Are Unfair"
Your correspondent is right. There's not
merchant in Washington who is unwilling
to contribute his proportionate part to the
successful furtherance OF any worthy char
ity. But, on the other hand, there Is not
one who does not inwarily, il not pub
liciy, resent the wholesale onslaught made
on him to stock fair tables, advertise in
fair programmes, and purchase fair tickets.
Not one of the solicitors for these en-
tertainments but would Indignantly plead
not guilty to the charge of backmail.
Yet ii is pothing sburt OF that They hold
their trade. and their family's trade, and
the trade OF their friends, be it much or
little, over the head of the merchant, and
woe betide him who refuses, for they turn
loose the flood-gates of their wrath, and
he is condemned for not surrendering his
cash drawer.
The papers here ought ta lend the mer-
chants all the aid in their power for
suppressing this pernicious habit. They
know what it is themselves. Some years
ago, in sheer desperation, they mutually
agreed to decline To do any eratultnus ad-
vertising for any individual or organiZa-
ton. If the manager deemed the object
worthy he made a cash contribution. That's
what the merchants ought to do. One
hesitates to ta ke such a stand alone. But
In all would combine the object could be
accomplished without putting any iudlvid-
ual concern under the ban of their dis
pleasure. The average business man has
his hands full to pay his legitimate adver-
tisng bills: Besides that, this sort of thing
isn't right.

but by the firesides between that time and
November following.
He said that work was to be done there
calmly, and then reviewed the days of the
civil war and the birth of the Republican
party. Throughout his speech the applause
was frequent and often he was interrupted
by cries that he was the man wanted.
He stopped this once, and then eulogized
Lincoln. He scored the state banks and
said that TO the Republicans belonged the
credit OF bringing order ont OF chaos. He
spoke OF the reconstruction period and pic

Gail Hamilton also seems 10 have loved
to dwell upon the Credit Mobilier epIso,ie
apparently because the charges against
Blaine were SO curiously easy to refute;
but the gifted biographer and relative
ignores the second investigation in which
Mr. Blaine was included, and which was
by all odds the most dramatic passage in
his career, in which the "Mulligan letters"
figured so conspicuoUsly.
or course the closing chapters of the
book, dealing with occurrances not touched
in Twenty Years of Congress-" are by
far the most valuable. These chapters
are pathetic in the extreme, in that they
tell of the decline of physical and mental
power, and not less pathetic because the
concluding pages were written by Harriet
Prescott Spafford, on account of the ILL.,
ness of Gail Hamilton.
The volume is illustrated with por-
traits of Mr.. Blaine, OF Walker and En-
mons Blaine, of several ancestors, with
pictures of the various Blaine residences,
and of the Capitol and War, State and
Navy Department.
Turning on the Light is the somewhat
peculiar title of a volume OF upward of
400 pages for the most part autobio-
graphical. oy the Hon. Horatio King. The
book is prefaced with biography of Mr..
King, written by his son, Gen. Horatio C.
Ming, OF BROOKLYN, N. L y SUBTITLE OF tne
work reads: "A dispassionate survey of
President Buchanan's administration, from
1860 to its close"
1t was evidently Mr.. Kings intention
in th is work to preserve in compact form
memories of his public life, with cores
pondence, papers, poems. etc, which
relate largely to public men ana national
events. The chapters in regard TO the
closing months of the administration OF
Buchanan are full of interest, and give
much inside history which has never be-
fore been Published. Following these
are many absorbing chapters relating to
the war and to Linculn's administration.
OF these portions of the work Mr.. King
might truly say: "All OF which saw and
part OF which I was"
The whole volume is of the highest in
terest, in that it treats OF a long and
exciting period, during which the-author
was constantly in touch with men and
measures and occurrences. of which he
writes. Such books are rare. indeed and
have value far beyond their literary
worth. The volume is beautifully bound
and printed by j. B. Lippincott * Co.,
Philadelphia.

Another mistake is made in exhausting
space with letters botn OF youthful ana

omitted with majority OF the letters,
