THE ECONOMICS OF GENIUS.

THE ECONOMICS OF GENIUS.
 American writers were for long time handicapped as compared with English. Not only did a certain prestige attach for competent Ameri- can readers to English work, but the law as to copyright permitted till re- gently the sale of reprinted English books at prices which often left nothing for the author, and with which native writers could not possibly compete. The United States, indeed, may be said to have protected every native activity that incurred foreign competition save literature In consequence Amer jeans who sought to live by the higher or more laborious sorts of literature had an almost hopeless struggle before them.
 Poe's life was one Of constant and at times desperate hardship, and would have been so even if he had been a teetotaler. Hawthorne could hardly have subsisted but for his political ap- pointments-appoin which since his time are more and more seldom given to men who, like him, can render their party little political service Emerson's adoption of serious litera- ture as a vocation was the result of his being left through change of religious opinion unfitted for any other income earning pursuit. Lowell had private means apart from his professsorship. Longfellow had a good unearned in come. Whitman lived as a poor man all his life, and finally had to be sup ported by donations. On Cations the- ory of genius these were all, or nearly all, the men of high potential literary genius in the states during fifty years Reason would seem to force us to the conclusion that, on the contrary, there were among the mass of the population at least some hundreds of brains which with due fostering and opportunity. could have produced first-class intel lectual work, whether in the way o1 belles-lettres, or science, or philoso- phy or historical research.-Forun.

A Blue and White Home Rig

Overskirt suggestions seem less un- pleasant in house dresses than on gowns for outdoor wear, so in conse- quence the scheming designers are prompt to show them. The one pie tured herewith was exceedingly pretty, and, having overskirt in effect only, was not to be condemned. It's mate- rial was white serge, bands of blue velvet trimming it. The bodice had white lining, and deep velvet yoke trimmed with bias folds of white sat- in. Two bands of white satin over Tapped the bloused lower part. which

Spain's puzzling plan, if plan there Is, of leaving the harbor of Havana practically unguarded by warships gives rise to the theory that she wants to draw our navy into European wa- ters for the fighting. The Washington correspondent of the New York Post writes: "The only way we can escape the effects of this sort of a campaign will be to give up our commerce alto- gether and withdraw from the seas, or else to send a fleet across the ocean and fight the Spanish navy in its own place. We can, and of course will, re- taliate by reprisals upon Spanish com- merce, but the damage we can do the enemy by this means will bear no con- parison with the damage she can do have for transferring the seat of war to European waters is that we should have to transport all the coal for our fleets two or three thousand miles,
 This makes the attitude of Great Brit ain upon the question of coal as a centraband of war very important" A prominent naval officer says on the subject: "The Spaniards are taking the cue and are displaying much mili- tary sagacity i'll the movement of their ships. They are concentrating them in their home ports, and, if our fleets are disabled by attempting to reduce the Qualifications at Havana, they will

Senator Hawley's new army bill in tr0duced in the senate provides for the calling of a volunteer army and ar- ranges the details of formation and of service. Enlistmerlts are to be for three years. Section A of the bill says that "when war Is imminent, the troops in the service of the United States, whether belonging to the regular or volunteer army or to the militia, shall be organized as far as practicable into divisions of three brigades, each bri- gade to be composed of three or more regiments, and whenever three or more divisions are assembled in the same army the President is authorized to or ganize them into army corps, each corps to consist of not more than three opinion that the National Guard regi- ments that volunteered will, so far as possible, keep their numbers, certainly the name of their state, and that the officers of the grade of colonel and be- low will be appointed by the governor. He also says: q think it will very much resemble the great volunteer force organized in '61 with the very great advantage that it will be com posed of National Guard regiments with good officers and very creditably trained and disciplined men,

New York Tribune: within forty eight hours Spain must decide whether an inevitable loss shall be inca1culably increased for the sake of inficting some damage on this country.

The utter hopelessness of European Intervention to avert war between the United States and Spain is we'll illus trated, remarks the Mail and Express, fin the report from London that, the Triple Alliance-Gern Austria and Italy-has proposed to the powers the formation of a plebiscite in Cuba to settle the Cuban question; in other words, that the population of Cuba should be allowed to vote for the form of fgovernment most popular there Of course the proposition is worthless

Tne Failure OF D,nr,ey,sn,.

The Failure OF Dlngleyism.
Chicago Record: Asigniticent inter
view has benn given to the press by Sen
ator Hanna bearing on the revenue stu
alton. He eaid:
The war revenue measure must ba re-
yised. but we will keep many OF the
original features of the law simply be-
cause it Is now necessary. Under the
old tariff law We are not getting very
much revenue, because we are exporting
instead of importing. and something
must be done to meet these new cOndl-
tioDs. We must have new revenue
measure.
Senator Hanna fayors duties on tea
and coffee and the retention Of some Of
If5 featafess Of the present wer revenue
act, which was designeiras a temporary
expedient only to raise the extra lnuds
needed for the prosecution OF the war
with Spain.
Senator Hanna's assertion that under
the old tariff law-meaning the Dingley
active are not getting very much rev
enue, because we are exporting instead
OF importing" certainly is very naive.
Nevertheless it tcarlies recognition Of the
fact that under the D1nglay tariff im-
ports are falling off. From that it is
only step to the conclusion that there
is casual connection between the two,
and that imports hsve fallen off because
the tariff rates in the Dingiey act ar. SO
high as to prove in many cases actually
prohlbitive, or course taliff acL that
comes near being prohibitiye cannot be
4 productive Of sufficient revenues to sup
ply the needs Of the government. Thus
the protective system, when carried to
the extreme, falls Of its own weight. A
moderate tariff law would have given
sufficient protection to Industries thai
needed fostering witbout.so seriously 10
terfering with imports. Such an &c
/ would have been productive Of adeqnat,
revenues, the immediate need for which
was given by Congressman Dingley OF
the floor Of the house as the pr1ncipa
reason for the passage OF tile bill bear
ing his name. As a revenue producer
howeyer.the Dingley act has come silor
of the predictions made for it BY It
champions. 1t is as a protective meas
! ure only that that enactment can be dc
: Tended by its friends, and on that scor
its critics would still BIZ as hostile q
ever. The protective policy had bee
a carried to lis limit in the Dingley at
Consequently when the war gave rise
i tbs need OF more revenue there was il

would have been productive not Of mol
