A GRAY EYE OR so.

This is an English story of love and
politics, in which parts are played by peo-
pie of high and low rank in society. The
author, F. Frankfort Moore, does not seem
to hold very high estimation of the
British conscience. At the conclusion of
the volume, when hero and heroine. after
many vicissitudes, approach the usual
outcome, the heroine cries: "You are a
fool if you cannot see that your career is
just beginning. People are talking of you
to-day as the Conscientious One-the One
Man with Conscience. Isn't the reputa-
tion for conscience the beginning of sue
cess in England?'
The reply is: "Helen, will you marry
me. With our combined money we can
make ourselves necessary to any party.
Will you marry me?"
The marriage winds up the book. But
Mr.. Moore is probably not much of a
student of the British conscience. He is
just book-writer. [Chicago: Rand, Nc

PERsIs YORKE.

Sydney Christian has written an excel
lent novel in "Persis Yorke"--lt is thor
oughly interesting and conveys some good
wholesome lessons. The volume Illus
trates the priceless value of early discipline
and training. The idea of packing off
boys (who have hardly reached their first
decade) to big schools is denounced as
most injurious-as poisoning the boys life
at the start. 1t is contended that parents
should at home teach their children what
life really is and not send unprepared lads
into the furnace of temptation afforded by
any great school. The fretted early life of
Persis Yorke, and the experiences by which
she happily profitsd, make story that it
will do any one good to read. New York

NEW YORK AS A LITERARY MART.
Edward W. Box, in March Ladies' Home
Journal, writes of The American Literary
Center" and presents the claims of New
York and Boston (between which cities it
may be inferred it rests) for the distinc-
ton. He summarizes New York in this
way: "* New York undoubtedly
offers the largest market for literature of
any city in America. This is naturally so,
| as must always follow in the case of the
| largest and wealthiest city of any country
| The Empire City controls the largest
number of publishing-houses. even though

city, even though it is deprived the right
periodicals, the leading eclectic magazine
of the world, or of the most widely
4 circulated channels of serial Iitera-
ture. But, unquestionably, it has the
.maiority, and q powerful majority it is.
1t has libraries galore. one might almost
say, yet the two principal libraries of the

WANT THE BIG DOLLAR.
In Kansas the Delegates to st.
Louis Will Come from Among
the former Supporters of
the Republican Ticket.

TOPEKA, Kas., July 16.-The state
silver convention got together about
2 p. IN. Among those present, at
least three-fourths have been promi-
nently identified with the Republi-
can party. The preponderance of
Republicans is so great that the
delegation elected to attend the st.
Louis silver convention on the 22d
will be overwhelmingly Republican.
E. G. Little, of Abeline, was chosen
temporary chairman. He said in
part {: Columbia has reached her
majority. We now propose that she
conduct her own affairs without die
tation from foreign financiers or sug-
gestions from foreign parliaments.
We find we intend to force every
word, every clause, every sentence of
the declaration of independence
which our fathers wrote. There are
but two sides to this fight and we
shall be on one side only.
-Four years ago the Republican
national convention said the Ameri-
can people by interest and tradition
favor bimetalism and the use of both
gold and silver as standard money.
''At st. Louis they abandoned the
traditions and deserted the interests
of the American people and declared
in favor of maintaining gold stand
ard. They put William Mckinley on
the platform, but they put Grover
Cleveland in the platform. The st.
Louis convention may have changed
it's mind, but the American people
have not altered their opinions
They still demand bimetalism, which
means the admission of gold and sill
yer to the mints on equal terms and
use of both as redemption money.
| America shall no longer GO, hat in
hand, begging for gold to discharge
obligations payable in silver, of
which she has ample supply in easy
reach. The only honest dollar is the
dollar of the contract"
