Oscar Gardeners long string of vic

challenged by a number of ambitious
voung boxers. Oscar is in the business
"a fight, and he will accommodate all

TILE READING PUnLIC.

Recent Investigations among the book
sellers in several large cities as to the
most popular works of the present day
indicate that the reading public is very
erratic, and are guided by no particular
taste. For instance. two large towns
show that there was a greater demand
for Anthony Hopes Rupert Of Hent-
Eau" than there was for any other book
In New York, Boston, and Philadelphia
Mrs Wards "Helbeck Of Bannisdale"
came very near leading the list, while
other popular stories We're Kate Douglas
Virgins "Penelope's Progress" f. Hop
kinson Smiths Caleb West. Master
Diver" Richard Harding Daviss The
Kings Jackal." and "The Kings Hench-
man." by William Henry Johnson.
The popularity of the books mentioned
is an ineXplicable evidence Of q wide di-
vergenee Of taste, and shows some bold
jumps Of fancy Mrs. Wards work is, Of
course, serious. problem-hunting. and
ascetic, while Hopes is suggestive of
candy colonies and comical heroes. Mr.
Davis's little story, innocuous to in
sipidity, is altogether too trivial TO sur
vive one decade, nor are the others, with
the exception of Mrs. Wards work. liable
to survive for many years in the literary
world OF course, the names Of the au-
thors had a great deal to do witt selling
these books. but, laying aside the fact
that the writers are the fads of the
hour there is no accounting for the
situation.
The reading public, after all. is not
an DID, solid, ironclad organization. 1t
is a public with many strata and each
stratum has its peculiar tastes. But
after all, from the standpoint Of the pub
Usher and the author the most success

PRACTICAL HANNA,

Now that the Democratic and Independ-
ent papers that In the last presidential
campaign championed the alliance be-
tween the Republicans and the Sound
Money pemocrats' are awakening to n
realization OF their unsophistratedness,
the state of mind" they are evidencing
would cause amusement were not the
situation they contributed to bringing
about so serious.
The terms of the alliance. II viii be re-
membered. were that If the Sound
Money Democrats" would aid the Repub-
licans in "ldlling the free-siIver heresy"
by electlng Mckinley. the Republicans
would give the people currency reform
Well the Republicans triumphed. but the
parties Of the first part find as might
have been expected. that they have been
most outrageously tricked. The papers
in question are, to all intents and pur-
poses. being jeered at for their credulity
by Mark Hanna, who meets all demands,
appeals. and threats with the haunting
exclamation, '$oh, give us rest"

mind over their own unsophisticated-
ness and Republican duplicity in respect
Of this matter, and it seeks relief I'm

tells Hanna that IL he does not allow cur

Congress. he will go into the next presi-
dental election with his allies Of 1896
cheated and angry ard with the entire
business community of the country dis
appointed. thwarted. and suspicious. But
the Journ. also says that there are in
Hanna's own party elements that are not
favorable to currency reform. Exactly.
and that explains Hanna's contemptuous
disregard Of the Republican part of the
compact. Hanna knows that thousands
of those not OF his own party, who helped
him TO elect Mckinley, have already seen
the error of their way, are smarting under
the humilia ton of having been duped,
and cannot be depended Ipon 10 con-
tinue the alliance. He has gotten out Of
them all the service possible, sud there
fore can afford to snap his fingers at
them. But he also knows that the ele-
ments within his party that are opposed
to currency reform are the elements that
have kept his campaign barrels full, and
upon which he can count 70 keep them
N that coalition so long as he can pre-
vent the present banking and currency
system from being changed. In this mat
ter the boss is simply illustrating pract- |
cal politics. The barrel virtually in hand
Is much more practical than the hope of |
succeeding in the same game of duplicity /
a second time.

Mr.. Rixeys Card.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Starl

Representative RIxey Of the Eighth Dis
trict, in a long card in the Richmond
Dispatch, in reply TO an editorial in that
paper antagoniZng his bill opening
United States soldiers homes to Confede-
rates, argues strongly in support OF this
measure which will, in our judgment
never become a law, and which might as
well never have been introduced.
We share with Dr. RiXey his solicitude
for the care well-being. and comfort in
the declining years OF the old boys who
wore the gray, but we do not share with
him his bright hopes for the success OF
the measure. The President spoke his
own sentiments, may be. but that he did
not speak the sentiments OF the party
or the people-those OF the North and
West. we mean-is plainly. and TO the
President. painfully apparent
Already the northern papers are pub
fishing letters from the people and from
various organizations, censuring the Pres
ident for his southern illusions; no lead
ing men of his party are backing him up
In his suggestions-oa the contrary, seve-
raj are emphatically opposed to the idea
and. as tho Dispatch remarks, the Grand
Army Is ominously silent What the
future may bring forth none can tell, but
at present II SEEMS TO Us that our policy.

A GLOUCESTER WEDDING.

Correspondence of the Dispatch)
GLOUCESTER, VA, December pa
beautiful wedding occurred at F. NJ.
yesterday. at Bethlehem Methodist Epls-
copal church. I'm the lower part Of the
county, when Mr.. II. l.. Bridges wed
Miss Clara Belle Newbll. The church
was beautifully decorated with ever
greens, the gates in the alsles to mark
the reserved seats being a mass of ever
greens. and the marriage was under a
massive arch Of evergreens. Just as the
bridal party were about to enter the
church the organ, presided over by Miss
Lillian Newbill. breathed forth the melo-
diogs strains of the wedding march from
LOhengrn.
THE bride. preceded by little Miss Bet
tie Ash bearing the ring on a silver waiter,
and accompanied by the maid Of
honor. Miss Eta NJ. Newbill, entered by
one aisle, and the groom, accompanied by

THE CHARITABLE COURSE.

Congressman Lentz. of Ohio, one of the
Democratic members of the House Com
mittee on Military Affairs. in discussing
the administration measure TO increase
the standing army Of the United States
10 10000 men, expressed the opinion that
1.-THE bill was an insult 10 the national
guard and volunteer forces of the coun-
try"
The Baltimore Sun, in commenting on
Congressman Lentz's remark, says that
the bill Is more than that, seeing that it
is also an insult to the intelligence of the
American people. The administration,
adds the Sun, insists upon the ratification
OF the treaty of peace with Spain, but
refuses to indicate what are it's inten-
lions in regard TO the disposition of the
territory transferred TO us by Spain.
We respectfully submit that our Balti-
more contemporary is a little too hard on
the administration. The administration
knows what Hanna wants done in the
premises. and that. we know. is the sum
OF the administrations intentions. And
as the administration in its speeches on
it's southern tour showed that it was
laboring under the impression that II was
the people, surely 1t would seem that the
charge that It has insulted the intelli-
gence Of the people by Withholding its
confidence from them will not lie.
1t is true that the administration Is
not the people. but none the less. the
charitable course is not TO critlcise it too
harshly for delusion that is merely
anticipatory Of what it probably will be
when militarism shall have been fasten-
ed upon us.

CosT OF THE WAR.

A Washington estimate which runs 10
the end OF the present fiecal year places
the cost OF our war with Spain at S2ooDs'-
900. This embraces the expenditures al
ready made and those that are In pros
pect for tho next six months. 1T does
rot. however cover the so~0.0D we are
expected TO pay for the Philippines, nor
does It embrace the outlay that VIII De
necessary 10 put our new possessions ia
proper condition for defence. II IL, there
fore. safe 10 add Of least s50,COO.0N to the
Washington estimate. thus bringing the
cost OF the war up to $500 100000.
That is a pretty good sum 20 invest In
phiIanthropic humanitarian venture. but
the average American would not be dis
posed TO be ugly about the matter If we
could close the account at such figure.
He would be willing 10 call 1t square and
pocket even with complacency the loss
represented in the unnecessary expend-
ture due TO the mismanagement, extrava-
gance, and jobbery connected with the
war.
However, II the policy Of the admins
tration is 10 be carried out our Washing
ton estimate is only a starter. At the
lowest calculation perseverance I'm our
good work. along the lines laid down by
Mr.. Mckinley and his imperiallstic ad
visers will cost the people Of this cOun-
try some S300DO0.0o0 annually for some
years to come. yhat is to say, that under
the imperialistic policy OF Mckinley,
Hanna e. Co. the cost OF the army and
the navy and the civil administration of
our responsibilities" together with the
expense of building and maintaining for
tifications, will easily foot up $500, 100000 a
year. And if we add to this the pension
list Of the Spanish-American war and the
clvil-war pension list, which are properly
chargcabla 10 tho military and naval
budgets. we will find ourselves saddled
with the heaviest naval and military bur
den Of any nation on earth.
What is worse still is that while in the
cause of liberty IN the far East, we
win be supporting a system that-punsions

of some SJOo,O0OG0 annually, It may be
that we will be forging chains with which
