NEW SOUTH AND ITS LITERATURE
Distinctive Glass of Novel Writers That
Has Appeared.

q That the South, on the whole, has been
less productive of men OF letters than
the North need occasion no surprise to
the student Of things American. How
should 1t have been otherwise in the Pc
culiar social and political conditions that
prevailed down to the civil war Public
life absorbed the thoughts and energies
of the class of Southern men from whom
the poets and novelists, the essayists and
historians would naturally have been
recruited. Add to this tho dearth Of
publishing facilities, the limited public,
the comparatively slight honor paid to
a successful author, the smallness of his
pecuniary reward. and one need not
wonder that few Southern men elected
the profession of literature. The one
considerable novelist that the South pro-
duced, William Gilmore Simms. was
compelled to have his romances pub
lished at the North, and one suspects that
they were chiefly read In the same section.
Nothing is more distinctive of the new
South than her recent literary develop
ment. Public life no longer has for the
Southern youth the supreme fascination
of ante-bellum days The reading public
Is larger, broader minded, quicker to APP
probate. True, the Southern writer Is
still dependent on Northern presses and
Northern capital for the means of reach
ing his public; but this is of little i'm
portanoe, for railways have nearly ami
hilated space, and, what is of far more
consequence, the middle wall of partition
between North and South has been
broken down, and the mere fact that q
book or magazine is published in New
York or Boston no longer excludes it
from every Southern home.
Within little more than decade there
has risen what may be fairly called a
Southern school of fiction, racy of the
soil, unmistakable in its characteristics,
| such as no other section could posi- bl Y
have produced. 1t Is symptomatio that all
the members Of this first distinctive
Southern school of writers should have
devoted themselves to fiction. Poets,
the South indeed has had in recent years I;
Paul Hamilton Hayne and Sidney Lanier
are worthy of more than respectful mem
| tion in any catalogue of American au-
| thors; but they are Southern only by ac-
eident of birth or choice of residence, not
by the essential character of their work
Sidney Lanier's poetry, for the most
part, might have been written as we'll in
New Hampshire or Minnesota as any
where lese, and much the same is true
Of the greater part of Haynes But of
Richard Malcolm Johnston, of Thomas
Nelson Page, Of Joel Chandler Harris,
of Matt Grim, who will maintain that
they could have done their work had
they not been born and bred in the sunny
South?

HOURS AND WAGES.
Reduction of the Former without Inter-
fering With the Latter.

Reduction of the Former without Inter-
fering With the Latter.
Since so years ago there has been here,
as we'll as in England, great reduction
IN the hours of labor. Bot this was not
accomplished for the pleasure of the wage
earners. 1t was accomplished because ex-
perience proved that after a certain state
of fatigue had been reached labor was I'M
profitable. The hours may still further
be reduced. A large volume Of evidence
has been collected in the last few years to
show that production is even more eco
nomical with an eight hour than with a
nine hour or ten hour day. Experiments
in this direction are in progress If what
is claimed for the eight hour day be proved
and it has been partially proved-the
eight hour day will come into general use.
But otherwise no amount Of ethics or
philanthropy or Christianity will bring it
in. Men are always, everywhere, trying
to get all they can. If they can get more
by working ten hours than by working
eight, ten hours they will work
Wages have been largely increased in
the past ID years, but this is due purely to
economic causes The principle of Chris
tianity which attaches an absolute value
greater than that Of all earthly things to
human being as suoh'' has not induced
any employer to increase wages. It can
be shown that this principle has led to the
improved condition of the laboring Glasses,
but it has done SO in accordance with eco
nomic laws and not by suspending them,
or violating them, or substituting benevo-
lent for selfish instincts.
Invention and the extension of the hui
man control over the powers of nature
have enormously increased the amount of
product, of wealth, that can be gotten by
the labor of each individual This In
crease has been distributed, and the labor
er has got part Of it. 1t is not material to
this discussion whether he has got his
share or less, or, as some persons believe,
more. The material fact is that he has
often been paid his increased wages out of
an increased quality of production, ard not
out OF an accumulated fund of altruism.
No amount Of ethics or philanthropy
would have been able to pay him increased
wages had not some ones inventive skill
enabled him to weave more yards of cloth
and roll more pounds of iron in week
than his grandfather did.-Lippincott s

The movement for Statehood in Okla
hona has broken up in a 'Ejolly row" and
the universal opinion is that the territory
will have to wait until it's citizens be-
come calIner which is not expected to
happen during the existence Of the pres
ent Congress, SO thoroughly perturbed
are her patriotic and aspiring people
The trouble originated over difference
of opinion whether the territory should
be admitted III its present state. or should
be joined with Indian Territory first.
The people who favored the former policy
were known rs the Pawnees and those
thRt favored the latter as the Shawnees.
When the convention met Pawnee and
Shawnee both got the platform together
and proceeded to develop their respective
plans which were embodied in formal
statements of the purposes Of the conven-
ton. A row ensued right off, and the
noise was SO great that neither the Shaw
nee call nor the Pawnee call could be
heard. The only way any semblance of
order was restored was by appointing one
"Dick" Plunkett, who rad quite repu-
tat1on as a pugilisU, sergeant-at-arms.
Dicks threat from the platform that he
would lick everybody who did not keep
quiet had a sobeIing effect on the
convention which then became
still enough to hear motion
for adjournment to evening that was
adopted. In the evening however, the
town authorities evidently fearing free
fight took the precaution to lock up the
ball SO that the delegates could not get in.
An attempt was made to meet III another
hall, bu5 the confusion was so great
that nothing could be done and so finally
the convention adjourned sine die without
having done anything but "holler."

Senator Mills seems to have deserted
silver in order to ally himself with fat
money, for his speeoh in the Senate
against any issue of bonds was virtually
declaration that no reserve was neces-
sary and that the governments notes
would command just as much confidence
and circulate just as freely without as
withsone. This is virtually the old green
back theory which fourished some TWEEN
ty-five years ago. We used TO hear chen
great deal in favor Of money founded
upon the faith and credit Of the whole
people, which was the greenbacEer's way
OF describing the security supposed to be
behind the irredeemable government note.
Discussion, however, soon convinced the
great majority OF the people that they
preferred government notes founded upon
coin and reasonable in coin on demand,
and that kind of money we have had ever
since. Mr.. Mills is not likely to convince
the people that his plan of q currency
founded on nothing would be preferable.

Stomach troubles are so common and

people are apt to look with suspicion
on any remedy claiming to be a radi-

indigestion. Many such pride them
selves on their acuteness in never being

This fear of being humbugged may
be carried too far; 50 far, in fact, that
