Hopkins. R.elproel., scheme.

As chairman Of a subsection of the
ways and means committee Represent
alive Hopkins Of Illinois took much
pains to collect the opinions of inter-
ested parties about the Blaine scheme
OF commercial friendship by compul-
sion The interested parties were most
ly pork packers, millers, and makers
Of agricultural implements and ma
chinery. From such people Mr.. Hop
kins obtained a great bulk of opinions,
mostly identical in substance and all
Of which could be reduced to q very few
pages without material loss Of either
sense or force.
Hopkins prepared bill after he had
accumulated his stock Of identical opin-
ions looking to the immediate making
Of lot of dickers similar to those of
Mr.. Blaine. But Dingley and the rest
of the full committee sat down on that
with all the crushing weight Of q dozen
Tom Reeds. These gentlemen were too
shrewd to commit themselves to q poll
cy which they knew could not be work
ed again with any degree Of success.
They were willing to make the most Of
the fruit Of Mr.. Hopkins labors as
campaign material for the simple
minded, but further than that they
would not go.
Thereupon Hopkins applied himself
laboriously to the task Of stringing out
q report Of more than a hundred type
written pages. This he has completed
and the committee viii take measures
to spread 1t abroad among those who
win admire 1t for its bulk. its profound
statistical aspect and its sonorous title
page, and then put 1t away with other
profound documents, to remain unread
forever.

For twenty years Col. Hogeland has
devoted his life to reform work among
youth. The GROWING work Of his life
Is the curfew law, which Is designed to
keep boys on the streets after o'clock
At night. Since its enforcement In
Lincoln depredations by boys have be-
come almost unknown. The police
speak well Of the law and Hogeland be-

srature. It came out afterward that
there had been at least one previous
volume from his pen, with the ominous
title Of Better Dead" and for long
after the fame Of "A window In
rhrums" had been assured. a religious
weekly kept publishing reprints Of arti-
cles by the author which had appeared
without attracting notice years before.
Mr.. Rudyard Kipling, too, seemed TO
spring suddenly into fame with the pro-
duction Of Soldiers Three" and some
Indian poems and articles in the maya
zines. But It transpired upon inquiry
and better acquaintance that his art
had been perfected during years Of
residence In the east, by much story
writing In the Angio-Indian journals.

umony to the fact that there is such
