ST KNOW that Judge Russell con-
templates resigning soon, = he said to
the Tribune, land it is a pity that the
bench should lose him. For strict in
tegrity, and conscientious ideas OF
right and wrong, | know of no man
who is his peer. If were on my death
bed and knew that my affairs and
those of my family would be left in the
hands of Judge Russell, would die
in peace, knowing that my family
would have a protector for themselves
and property, who would be above
any thought of wrong. He is abso-
lutely irreproachable, and will be a
great loss to the bench.
Young man, just entering upon the
activities of life, the above is what one
exalted character has to say of anoth-
er-Judge Jamison, relative to his
colleague upon the district bench in
Hennepin county And it lies within
your power to so acquit yourself that
the same may be said of you. The
writer has known Judge Russell for
years, and can confirm all that Judge
Jamison says of him. A more honor
able man and genial gentleman it has
never been his good fortune to know.
His retirement from the bench is a
public calamity. Truly the bench's
loss is the bars gain.

A Managing Widow.

A certain young widow of Indianapo-
lis, who has just changed her weeds for
brighter hues, gave dinner party not
long ago, says the Indianapolis Sentinel.
The rooms were decorated with great
profusion of flowers. Roses in masses
were Oh the mantels, and the dinner
table fairly blossomed. In fact, the
abundance of flowers was unusual. One
of the guests could restrain her curiosity
no longer, and when the dessert was
brought in said:
"Well, Mrs Blank, you're rather
spreading on the flowers tonight. .

Master Charley Towne is troubled
with severe case of swellhead. He
thinks he is bigger than Bryan. An
Okla Union.
And this opinion seems to be shared
by many people who have heard both
Bryan and Town speak from the same
platform. The Des Moines Register
says that Towne made a much better
impression in Iowa than Bryan, and
pronounces him a deeper thinker and
better logican. 1t says that Towne
made the best presentation of the free
silver case that has ever been made in
that state. Papers in other sections of
the country speak in a similar strain
Mr.. Towne's head is not swelled with
out some reason for minneapolis
Tribune.
All of which verifies what the Herald
has persistently said-Mr. Towne is
the ablest exponent the free silver
cause has. To quote himself, she is
dangerous because he is able and he is
wrong"

DINING AND FEEDING.
American Table Manners Not So Open
Criticism as Formerly.

American Table Manners Not So Open to
Criticism as Formerly.
1t has been conceded that the degree
Of civilization people has reached may
be accurately measured by its dietary.
Now, some one has said that ''the
American feeds, the Englishman de-
yours, the Frenchman dimes" In view
OF this statement one wonders what the
English have been doing through the
centuries to have advanced SO little. We
do not pretend to answer for them, but
would say for ourselves, we have been
hewing our way through forests, pio-
neering in every direction, in every
sense-ample apology for feeding in'
stead Of dining.
But, OF course, it was Frenchman
who made the declaration, and, Of
course, he made it long ago, when, NOR
tifying though it be, honesty compels
us to acknowledge that we may have
been guilty. Times, however, and con-
ditions have changed, and not even the
most bigoted Frenchman will refuse to
admit that when the American has
reached the dining point he will have
more to dine upon than any other man
in the world. The culture Of man in
America will demand all the art in his
cuisine that France by study has evolv-
ed, with the added merit Of honesty in
his food, the DISCUSSES incident to pow
erty Of material not being q necessity.
There is no department OF supply IN
which we have not the advantage, and
we are learning to use our materials as
rapidly as we have been obliged to

The Japanese wrestlers are race of
giants; they often weigh from Ia to "a
stone. At the Imperial hotel in Tokyo
once they brought their champion wres-
tier to my room. He was prodigious in
size and as fat and fair as a baby. He
was Hercules in strength, but looked
like an overgrown cherub of Correggio.
"What do you eat?' asked.
''Rice, nothing but rice. 3D."
"Why not eat meat?''
''Meat is weakening. Beef is 70 per

THE Republican machine threw away
the opportunity OF It's life in its failure
to nominate-endorse if you please
the candidacy of Seth Low for may or
of Greater New Y ork. To be sure the
Citizens Union brought him out by
petition, first as the candidate best
calculated to give the city such an adj
ministratior as would practically
solve the very intricated and pressing
problem of how to achieve pure and
progressive methods in the conduct OF
the greatest municipality in America.
Once demonstrated to be possible and
ring rule in municipal admins tration
throughout the country would be at
rest for century-forever. Had the
republicans seized upon President Low
and made him their candidate, he
would be elected and to the party
would attach the honor of an earnest
desire for purity and vigor in the
great field of city administration. The
Citizen Union would not have had
coherency enough to hold its organi-
cation together, even for the single
campaign. It's necessity for existence
would have expired, and it would
have loaned its moral and material
strength to the republican party. But
the bosses were too blind to see nor
unselfsh enough to grasp the opportu-
nifty. They seemed to prefer certain
defeat, not only of the party but OIL
the principle preferring Tammany
and its yoke to a government which
would have made the city the great
model for the world. Verify, they

a Sensible View.

The Pioneer Press takes a very sen.
sible view of the patronage question

and in recent editorial it speaks as
follows:
The notion that the leading Repub-
licans or any other sortof Republicans
in the Sixth district are agitated be-
cause some candidate for petty post
Office in the pinewoods was disappointed
in not gettingit, and are taking up arms
against Mr.. Morris on that account,
could never have occurred to anybody
with sense enough to sustain the
humble functions of jelly fish. No
body pretends that the man or men
appointed at the instance of Mr.. Nor
ris are In any way unfit or incompe-
tent for the offices they hold; and il
they are fit men that is all the interest
tie public has in the question, ALI
congressman have lot of these local
controversies to settle. But they in
terest no one but the persons immedi-
ately concerned. And the only kind
of interest which the fake fabricators
can awaken in these little personal af-
fairs is feeling of contempt for those
who try to make them appear matters
of political consequence. Judge Nor
ris is one of our ablest congressman,
and when hewas selected to run against
Mr.. Towne it was because he was re-
garded as the best man in the district
to make the run against that brilliant
renegade. His conduct of the cam
paign justified the high opinion enter !
tanned of his ability and character,
and he has done nothing to lessen the
esteem in which he is held. He is too
large man to be comprehended by
some of his small-potatO critics.

each COPY Of books by foreign authors
published in this country or by paying
to American authors a bonus on each
copy of their works sold. In the abb
sence Of any international copyright
law something should be done to pro-
tect the industry of American author
ship and the interests of American
writer's. AS it is American publishers
find it more profitable to publish works
by foreign authors for which they do
not have to pay anything, than those Of
American authors for which they do
have to pay. This practice is foreign
izing our literature, making us much
better acquainted with the works of for
eign authors than with our own and is
an Injustice to American writers in that
II places them at a disadvantage IN
their own country. To paraphrase an
utterance of Jesus of Nazareth, a writer
is not without honor (protection) save
in his own country.
There are a sufficient number OF
writer's. and appreciative readers or lit
erature in our state, West Virginia
n constitute a state literary associa-
ton and an effort ought to be made TO
effect an organization of this kind.
If a few of our leading writer's and
others interested in literary matters
would take the initiative by meeting
and forming the nucleus Of an associa-
ton. they weuld soon gather into 1t
quite a number of similarly minded
folks from al parts of the state. Such
an organization would be beneficial and
pleasureable to those who would be-
long to it and at the same time it would
accomplish lch in the cause of good
literature. It's existence would be an
indication that We are a progressive !
people and that we keep up with the
times at least in every thing OF an in
tellectual character.
Who will take the lead in organizing |

A LOOK INTO THE GUILE.

I looked one night and there Semiramus,
With all her mourning doves about her
Sat rocking on an ancient road Of Hell;
Wthered and eyeless, chanting 10 the
moon 80,
snatches of song they sang to her Of old
TTpon the lighted roofs of Nineyeh.
And then her voice rang out with rafting
laugh
'eThe bugles they are crying back again
Bugles that broke the nights OF Babylon,
And then went crying on through Nine
veh.
Stand back, We trembling messengers Of
i'll.
I rush out with my hair unbound to quen
Jnsurgent cities. Let the iron tread
OF armies shake the earth. Look, lofty
towers
Assyria goes by upon the wind"
And so she babbles by the ancient road,
While cities turned to dust upon the earth
Rise through her whirlinS brain 10 live
again
Babies all night, and when her voice is
dead
Her weary lips beat on without a sound.

LITERARY TOPICS BY "KRUNIUs."

There is undoubtedly much unfair
ness not to say dishonesty in book re-
viewing. The average review is either
filled with fulsome praise and commen-
dation of the production or a scathing
denunciation of the author who would
presume to infict it upon an unsus-
pecting public. There seems to be no
middle ground with the average literary
critic; and he seems to think that he
must either praise or censure unstint-
eddy. If in their reviews the critics
always expressed their real views and
honest unprecedented conclusions as to
the merits and limitations Of the books
they write about it would be all right
enough; but the trouble is that they
praise or censure without much regard
to the literary character Of the book,
being actuated by personal interest or
the wishes of those who employ them.
There is practically no standard Of
literary criticism; every critic or re-
viewer being a law unto himself and
establishing his own standard with the
privilege of changing it at will It is
not to be wondered at therefore that the
same book often receives entirely diff
ferent treatment from different critics,
Since it is the policy of our govern
ment to protect home industries by
afixing high rates of duty to imported
articles, or by paying bounties to our
own producers to enable them to COM
pete in the home market with foreign
productions, why should not American
writer's receive similar protection. A
tariff or excise duty might be levied on
