Authors and Publishers" by G. II. p.
and ]. B. p, is a very useful and valuable
book in its way. The authors modestly
term it "a manual of suggestions for be-
ginners in literature" but it is much more
than that. Prepared by men who are
thoroughly familiar with every detail of the
practical side of publishing, and who yet
possess keen literary instinct, it is manual
which will prove valuable not merely to
beginners in literature but to all literary
workers Briefly. it presents, in convenient
form for reference, information concerning
the several methods of publishing arrange
ments the various matters to be considered
after the publishing arrangement has been
completed in putting the book through the
press, and the measures adopted, after
book has been put into print, in finding sale
in trying to find sale for it. The rela-
lions between authors and publishers are
treated fully, and many interesting
anecdotes concerning them are related but
the chief value of the book is in its iniorma-
ton for prospective authors. All the details
of bookmaking are gone into thoroughly
from the time the manuscript reaches the
hands of the house reader" to the time
IL issues in blue and gold or tree calf or
paper. There are specimens of typography
and suggestions as to the form and size
of pages instructions in proof-reading, adj
vice as to Illustrations and, better than all,
advice as to the method of submitting
manuscripts to the publishers so that they
will stand the best chance of receiving a
good hearing. New York: G. p. Putnam's
Sons.

Ex-senator Edmunds, chairman of the
monetary commission, will return to
Washington to-day and announce the SUBJ
committees on different branches of the
subject in hand. With the announcement of
these subcommittee the machinery of the
commission will be complete and it will
be ready to begin the work before it. Its
proceedings thus far have been deliberate
and dignided, as might be expected from
such a body of men, and there is every
reason to believe that its final report will
command the respectful attention of the
country and of Congress If the theory of
popular government is correct a movement
springing so directly from the people as
this one does, and represented by SO able
commission as that now sitting in Wash
ington certainly ought to command at
tention.

some could find an excuse in that fact. To
declare that the superintendent was sober
on that occasion, and being in his right
mind went to a Republican meeting and
asked permission to make speech assail-
ing Judge Cox, would place the mayors
representative in the attitude of having de-
hberately attacked the judge. and therefore
his action would be inexcusable. The
numerous friends of Judge Cox can
not fail to see it in that light should
the Board of Safety declare that Mr..
Colbert was not laboring under the influ-
ence of strong drink. They could fairly say
that Mr.. Colbert, being sober when he went
to the Republican meeting to make speech
against Judge Cox. he must have been as
sured that he was pursuing course which
would meet the mayors appreciation.
In any event, the mayor in this matter
appears to ''be between the devil and the

FRANCo-RUssIAN ALLIANCE.
Two Views of the Meaning of the
CrOnstadt Declaration.

IL.
M. Felix Faure's voyage to Russia was
in itself an unusual event 1t marked a
drawing together, long thought unlikely, il
not impossible, between the sovereign who
may be looked upon as the very perSonifica-
ton of absolutism and the chief magistrate
Of q republic which will look back on
an existence of thirty years. The imperial
toast that marked the last day of our yes
sells stay in the bay of Cronstadt has made
of it historical date and the starting point
for an entirely new policy. The alliance be-
tween Russia and France was assuredly
perceptible in the events that have occurred
during the last few years, but it had not
been officially proclaimed. AT the very most
only a moral bond held the two countries
other in that same bay of CrOnstadt six or
seven years ago. That bond was indirectly
acknowledged by the visit made to Paris by
the new MuScOVite soYere1BnS. In 1t all,
nevertheless, it was only the cordiality of
the international feeling that appeared as
a settled fact. There was nothing that in
dictated more than that excellent relations
existed between the two countries. There
was nothing to show political union, a
community of interests and of point of view.
1t is different since the toast offered at the
breakfast on Aug. 26.
The toast, 1t should be noticed, was read.
not merely recited by memory. in order to
give it full force and to define clearly It's
significance. 1t was therefore deliberately,
and after weighing the meaning OF every
word he uttered, that the Russian sovereign
addressed his guest for the first time as his
ally The word received all the more i'm
portance on that account. Every one mas
understood that it was uttered under cir
cumstances which gave it no ordinary po-
litical meaning, and that IL could not be
taken as OF no Importance. 1t marked, un-
mistakably, u new phase in the equilibrium
of Europe.
Everything helps to bear witness in fact,
that from that day the situation Is no long
err what IL was before. The idea of select
ing the flagship of the French fleet for
the scene of this manifestation has an i'm
portance and meaning OF its own. You may
be sure that it has been understood and
felt keenly at Berlin The Cronstadt toast
accentuated in a manner strangely painful
to German vanity the difference between
the reception given to the French guest
and that met with by the young German
Emperor a few hours before, as II were
William III must have felt the contrast
between the two receptions all the more
bitterly because he had allowed himself to
yield TO the illusion that the result would

COL. LEMANOUSKI.
His Career in Europe and i'm Southern
and Central Indiana.


Corydon Republican.
The indianapolis Journal and a number
of correspondents have been discussing the
probable authorship Of a work on the life
of Napoleon, published at Salem in 1873,
and incidentally Herewith, to some extent,
discussing the life of Col John Jacob Lee
manouski. The work does not bear the
name of any author, but the consensus or
the author. Colonel Lemanouski served on
Marshal Ney's staff, and was great ad-
mirer of Napoleon. he claimed 10 nave
fought in 125 engagements under Napoleon.
He was finally made political prisoner,
condemned to be executed, but he escaped
from prison and came to this country. The
prison in which he was confined was sur
rounded by water and on the surface or
the water were floating timbers, filled with
sharp spikes, to prevent the escape Oh PITS
oners. By some means while IN confne-
ment, Colonel Lemanoush got hold OF
rope which let him down a few feet above
the spiked timbers, but, as he often SAID, ne
trusted in the Lord for his escape, and,
after reaching the end Of the rope, let him
self drop the balance of the distance. In
the fall large spike penetrated one of his
feet, which made scar that he carried 10
his grave. But he escaped and came to
this country. Being a fugitive, he was de-
sirous that his identity remain IN oDscurlty.
1t is said his real name was Lehman, but
after he reached this country, TO obscure
his identity he adopted the name of Lee
trail Indiana where he was married and
became the father Of four children. His
wife dying he came to this county in 1897,
where in 1885, he married Miss Lydia Sieg:
of this county. For two years he resided
on what is known as the Tartarat farm,
two miles north of Corydon. He then re-
moved to Rush or Henry county, where he
resided a number Of years. returning later
to near a little village in Clark county
called Hamburg. where his wife died, his
death following in a year or two. AS the
fruits of the marriage to Miss Sieg there
were born three children-Martin l.. Le-
manouski of Blue River township, this
county: Mrs Mary Reising, wife of Mr..
Nicholas Reising, residing five miles north
west of Corydon. and Benjamin Lemanou-
ski. of Oregon. Many of the older citizens
remember Colonel Lemanoush, and one
who knew him well has no doubt Colonel
I.emanouski was the author of the history
mentioned. His business alternated be-
tween lecturing on Napoleon and preach
ing. he being minister of the Lutheran
denomination. He was a remarkable man.
He possessed great force of character He
was a giant both in intellect and physical
strength He was the master of several
languages and had a most remarkable
memory Tt is said that he could listen at
tentively TO the reading of newspaper ar
ticle or chapter of Scripture a single time
and reneat the same afterward verbatim.
His children in this county are highly re-
spected people, and live a quiet. retired
farm life.

Many persons thought and still think that
the presidential election of 1896 settled the
money question. The election was certain
ly great victory for sound money, but it
was not the Waterloo of fiatism. If proper
ly used the victory may mark the turning
point and be the Gettysburg of the contest,
but it must be followed up, and the oppor-
tunity of making it decisive must be seized
and improved. The vital question of the
hour is still currency reform, and the agita-
ton must be continued on right lines. Two
works recently published by G. F. Putnam's
Sons will help in this direction. They are
Monetary Problems and Reforms by
Charles II. Swan. jr, and Sound Money
Monographs" by William c. Cornwell,
president of the City Bank of Buffalo. The
first treats of fiat money and legal tender.
the result of legal tender and the remedy,
and international coinage, while the second
deals more directly with banking questions.
Both are strong arguments in favor of
sound money and currency reform.
