PUBLISHERS GRIEVANCES.

For while Mr.. Longman made most judi
cious and wholesome speech in the interest OF
peace. the Publishers Association was not
formed for academic purposes. but for mutual
protection and self-defence. The authors and the
booksellers had accomplished much by united
effort. and the publishers at last had followed
their example. They. too, had their grievances
or fanc,ed So For example. an unknown novel
list has written book. which can only De taken
NJ serious risk and sold only by dint OF constant
and expensive advertising. When he writes an
other novel he sells 1t through his literary agent
70 the highest bidder, and the publisher VINO
paid the advertising bills for making or enlarg-
ing the authors reputation Is not allowed TO
print the second book. One publisher sows and
another reaps and 1t se all grist for the success
full noveiists mill. This is one OF the publishers
grievances Another Is the Incorporating
manner In which the journal Of the Authors So
ciety has sometimes dealt with publishers, as
though they were the INSCRIPTIONS enemies In
stead of the best friends of the writers. This
IL another ground Of complaint. Moreover
the literary agent, while the most amiable
and the mildest-mannered man In the world. has
the power OF placing books where he can get the
most money for them; he can demand a transcript
OF the authors account at any time: he Is some
thing more than middleman or broker; he nearly
takes the place Of solicitor. He represents In
the literary world the new order which Is opposed
to the old-time traditions when the publisher
was the central figure Of a group OF men OF
renius It ie the rupture. or at least the inter-
ruption, Of old relationships which the publisher
regards a. q legitimate grievance

to ebb toward the agricultural districts,
and thousands of youths are reclaimed
from leading criminal lives.
The way in which this is accomplished
is most interesting. The street gamin is
a hard customer to get hold of, a slip
perry young rascal to keep and a most
difficult character to manage. Less than
two years ago the Children's Aid So
ciety of New York adopted a method
that has been for some years working
successfully in Boston. The plan Of
sending children of the streets to west
ern farms has been in operation for
more than quarter of a century, and
many thousands of waits have been res
cued in this way. But, in order to make
this successful. the children have to be
taken at a very early age-the earlier
the better. When boys Of from 10 to Is
were sent out, it was found that they
gave a good deal of trouble to the farm
ers They arrived in their far western
homes without any knowledge of the
country, and in many instances their
longing for the streets led them to run
away and drift from city to city until
they became confirmed tramps, past all
hope and beyond redemption.
At last it was determined to try the
scheme of establishing a sort of agri-
cultural training school where the boys
could be given a chance to learn some
thing of what life on farm was like
under favorable auspices and make up
their minds whether they could be con-
tent with it or not before they had gone
so far that it would not be practical for
them to turn back.
So a little farm of 1876 acres was
purchased in Westehester county, N.
z, and a big, ample house built on
it through the generous charity of Mrs.
Joseph M. White. Other philanthropio
persons furnished the money to stock it
in good shape, and an endowment fund
was created to pay the running ex-
penses. for it was not expected that the
farm would be self supporting. It was
dedicated as the Brace Memorial Farm
school in honor of the late Charles Lor-
ing Brace, founder of the Children g Aid
society in New York
Then from the various branches of the
society boys were sent up to take two
or three months course. 1t was a mis-
cellaneous collection of boys that first
gathered in the farm school and received
a warm welcome from Superintendent
Lewis They were boys who had been
earning a living in various ways about
the streets. Many of them were boot
blacks and newsboys. They had been
used to sleeping in out of the way cor
ners, going without meals and despising
baths
The agents of the society find the
boys i'll the lodging houses and invite
them to try the farm for awhile. All

Burlington Republican: We never
knew campaign year in July when so
many men, both Republicans and Dem
ocrats. were undecided what they were
going to do politically and what ticket
they were going to vote. There are
more voters hesitating and seeking
light on the money question now than
there ever We're at this time of year
upon any public question before. The
result this year is to be determined
largely by the influences that viii be
brought to bear on the voters between
now and election. If the Republicans
viii do the right thing they will win,
but they must not ignore the money
question and try and run the campaign
on the tariff issue. That will be a
great blunder. There are thousands of
voters who are honestly wavering on
the currency question, and their fnquir-
les and objections must be met and an
swered and explained or they will be
alienated from the party. Everything
depends upon the kind of campaign
that is made this year, and we can't
afford to make any mistakes.

new and strange scenes are sufficient in
ducenents to make the boys anxious for
the time to come when they shall start
for the west under the charge of an
agent of the society. Kansas, Iowa and
Florida are taking lots of New York
boys just now. and the demand for
graduates of the farm school is general
ly greater than the supply. The farmers
generally agree to furnish the boys with
clothes in return for services until the
amateur farmers are 10 or 9 years old,
when they can command fair wages.
The Children's Aid society always
keeps track of its proteges, and the
names and records of every one of the
more than 100, 900 waits which have
been picked up on the city streets and
placed in good homes since the work
was begun more than 40 years ago have
been kept, and today the agents can re-
fer to bulky books and tell Just what
became of any boy or girl who has ever
been helped by them. The graduates of
the farm school are just as carefully
looked after. They are requested to write
back to the secretary just as often as
they choose and give as many details of
their new life as they can. The farmers
who take the boys are also asked to re-
port their progress occasionally.
Although the Brace Memorial farm
has been in existence but two years
some of the boys who have left it have
been so successful in the west that there
is a good prospect that a few of them
will soon own farms of their own. Good
reports have been sent back of all but
two, and of these one became insane and
the other turned out so badly that he
was sent back to the city. This is a
much better showing than was made
under the old method. The farm school
seems to supply the missing link be-
tween the city streets and the farm. 1t
is a sort of winnowing machine where
the boys who will make good farmers
are separated from those who are totally
unfit for the country. Few charities can
show such immediate and practical re-
suits and none is more worthy Of support
or imitation. CYRUS SYLVESTER.

The goldftes have a new argument
and like all their others it steps on it
self. 1t is that if free coinage Of silver
is established foreigners viii hquidate
their obligations to US in silver and will
demand that we pay ours in gold. Sup
pose they do demand gold. It does not
follow that they will get it. This coun-
try has no gold obligations outstanding.
All our debts are payable in coin or
in lawful money of the United States.
