Concerning the earning power Of an English
book Mr.. W. II. Rideing says in The North
American Review:
A royalty OF two shillings a copy on a book
that retais at six shillings a copy could scarce
~ be afforded by any publisher, matter how
large the editions but some Of the royalties paid
in England-not many. but few--do not fall
far short OF this dazzling and enviable percent
age Of 'thirty-three and a third of the retail
price Let us figure on one novel Of which I
have some information. The author received
$4,000 for its use serially in the United States
and about the same sum for its use in an Eng
lish magazine during the same period is.
$4,000 in all When 1t had run It's course
through twelve numbers OF the magazine il be-
came his property again to publish in book.
The book was published at six shillings a copy
there, and here at dollar and half copy.
Altogether. fully one hundred aid fifty thousand
copies OF 1t tprobably more) have been sold. and.
assuming the royalty TO be only 20 per cent we
have $4,000 TO add TO the previously mentioned
$4,000. This gives US total of Ss1 OOO-far
more than George Eliot received for her master
piece or Disraeli in the heyday Of his glory as
the prodigy OF politics and literature for his. or
Thackeray. the supreme genius OF English 40
tion. for his. Yet the earning power of the book
Is by no means exhausted. Cheaper editions are
to appear, adding TO the revenue, and royalties
for serial use in far-off colonies. The Cape Aus
trae, New-Zealand and Canada, and the rights
OF translation are still TO be reckoned and then
the story is to be turned into q play, which is
not likely TO bring the author less than $50 coo
and may bring him twice or thrice $4,000 more
This OF course. is a very exceptional case and
such q success Is not often repeated but the sue
cessful practice Of the art of the novelist IL In

A HINT FOR BANQUETERs.

That men who have great regulations
as public speakers, who are called upon
to and do attend several banquets each
week during the winter season, are able
to show ND sign of indigestion, is a source
of wonder to men who, after perhaps a
single banquet, find medicines necessary.
At these banquets are served all tne
fancy dishes that the mind Of chef can
conceive. Then there are the wines OF
various kinds, sometimes good and some
times poor. How is it, people ask, that
these frequenters of banquets so often
stuff er no Ill et1ectp
1t is because their experience has maoe
th EN- cautious. Constant dining out has
taught them the absolute need OF moder'
alton. Many of them have confessed tna'
it is their habit to dine at their homes
before going to a banquet. Then at the
banquet they will just nibble at wnab lf
placed before them, SO as not TO appear
odd among the company OF feasters.
With the wines 1t is the same way.
They will drink, perhaps, little sherry
to begin with, and then not drink any
thing else until the champagne is served
of that they drink enough to satisfy
natural thirst, and for the rest of the
evening they drink nothing but Apolll
naris. which innocent portion they nnc
not only extremely palatable after the
wine, but calculated to Offset any IL
aft ects.

It Is hard to say how much reliance can
be placed in the reports of the proceedings
of the peace commissioners. Human ma
ture is about the same in Europe as in
this country, and is probably not proof
against the temptation to get something
for the newspaper every day about the
conference. But as the proceedings are be-
hind closed doors, it is impossible to give
anything like an authentic report of
them. Sons facts leak out, however,
and upon these shrewd guessing builds
a superstructure. The outlines of the
speech Judge Day is reported to have
made before the commission were un-
doubtedly constructed along tho line Of
probabilities, rather than of realities. They
may represent with fair accuracy some
of the ideas which he conveyed, but the
language in which he is represented at
conveying them is probably the Language
of the newspaper and not his. 1t Is ex
tremely doubtful if Judge Day disclosed
what would be the American position in
regard to the Philippines before that
subject was reached, though he may, an6
very likely did, insist that the Cuban
debt question should be treated entirely
on its own merits.

GRATITUDE TO GOV. POWERS.
To the Editor Of the Press:

Freeport, October II.
Having just been released from the
Maine General. I would like to say word
of thanks and gratitude through your
paper to Gov. Powers, also to Corporal
Jesse Dresser of Co. K.
I was taken sick shortly after we ar
rived at Chickamauga and sent to the di-
vision hospital In my ward were ID
from the 1st Maine, and although we had
an orderly, we did not receive the kind.
ness and attention from them that we did
from Dresser. Although it was not his
duty, there was hardly day passed but
what he came to see u.s. and with his kind
words tried to cheer us.
Z After arrived at the Maine General,
Gov. Powers visited us and such kind.
ness and Kind words as we received at
his hands cannot lie pictured out in
words. And may God bless Gov. Powers
for his kindness towards us.

THE CUBAN DEBT.

The debt of Cuba in round numbers is
about $40O, OOOO, 600. About $3.50. 0OO, 600 OF
1t was contracted before the late rebellion
and the remainder since. All the expense
of putting down the frequent revolutions
in Cuba have been charged to the island,
besides what has been spent for internal
Improvements on the island, and it
is said many expenditures of a shady
character which had no relation to Cuba
account as convenient way Of deoeiving
the Spaniards as to their real character.
The portion Of the expenditures that gave
rise to this debt from which Cuba may be
said to have received benefit is only about
20 per cent. or $50, 900, 900 out of S400, 00o,-
900. Most of the remainder presents
what it has cost to impose upon the
Cubans cruel and tyrannical
form of government land bleed
them for the benefit of the
OK chequer of the mother country.
So much of the debt as represents benefits
actually received by the Cubans can with
some propriety and show of justice be
claimed to be debt that Cuba ought to
assume when it becomes independent.
But no sound argument whatever can be
offered for saddling Cuba with that part
of the debt which has had it's origin In
Spain's bad government of it's colony.
That is debt created by Spain itself for
its own benefit, and every cent of it be-
longs to Spain to pay. But while so
much of the debt as went to benefit the
Cubans can plausibly and perhaps with
substantial Justice, be charged up against
Cuba in the final settlement and left for
her to pay, not farthing of it belongs
to the United States. go long as we treat
Cuba as an independent state.

"If we have outgrown the conditions
of the Monroe DOCTRINE" says Chaplain
Crawford of the United States navy,
"then let the Monroe doctrine be laid
upon the shelf along withsthe rest of the
refuse stuff. If we take the Philippines
we shall certainly have to lay it upon the
shelf With no sort of consistency can
we object to European powers coming
over here and invading what we have
been accustomed to regard as our sphere
OF influence after having deliberately set
up our dominion on the other side of the
globe. 1t will be recalled, however, that
only a few years ago we were talking
about the Monroe doctrine as if 1t were
the palladium of our liberties, and every
body that spoke ofsit lightlysor questioned
is validity was looked upon as..little
short of traitor to this country. Now
the very men who invoked it the oftenest
and were most devoted to it are anxious
to lay it on the shelf or pack it away in
the garrett as rubbish.

very likely would have been obliged to
call moro troops into the field before 1t
could have been performed. But the
time when the Spaniar is could have taken
advantage of the sickness of our army is
gone by. The people Of Cuba, both Span
iards and Cubans, are sick of war, and SO
are the Spanish soldiers under Blanoo's
command. Neither the people nor the
soldiers could now be induced to renew
Struggle simply to postpone result
which they could not avert. Doubtless
Blanoo Is sorry that all his preparations
to defend Havana went for naught, but
there is not the slightest danger that he
will undertake to oppose the occupation
of that city when the time arrives,
by the Americans, by resort to force.

A CRITIC CRITICISED.
Portland. Me-, October IS, Il


To the Editor Of the Press:
In last week Musical Courier Mr.. Jas.
E. Dunning of Bangor, who evidently
thinks himself musical critic, takes oc.
casion to deliver some unmannerly and
undignified comments (they could not be
called criticisms) on the singing of Miss
Rosa Green at the Bangor festival.
His remarks are far over the border Of
fair and decent criticism and seem to beal
the stamp of personal rancor. Mr.. Dun.
ming has, however. overreached himself
and is "hoist by his own petard. "
In his comments he refers to Miss
Green's rendering of an aria from
"Rienzi' and evidently desiring to say
something very clever and funny he re-
marks that she attacked it "much as il
she believed the naJue of the opera to be
Intimately associated with q certain
brand of small beer which bears the same
title"
This sounds very smart hut unfortu,
rately for the critic III Miss Green did
not sing the aria from "RineZi" at all
but sang in it's place the "Stanses de Sap
pho" by Gounod. Mr.. Dunning had evil
uout1y bCcA Suh0y Ing paO 6ousOiAAA PiO-
grammes issued long before the festival
and tho substitution Of another selection
was too much for bis musical knowledge.
Comment on his musical Judgment is
unnecessary.
Miss Green is an artist of very high
order and to us who SO enjoyed her sing
ing here in Portland 1t is matter of sur
prise and regret that her bangor debut
should have called forth such an i'll ma,
tured and unfair criticism as that which
appeared in the Musical Courier. In the
interest of fair play 1t seems to me thai
the general public who did not hear Miss
Green sing should be cautioned against
accepting the Judgment of such critic
as Mr. Dunning has shown himself to be.
Miss Green's high standing as an artist
is well assured in England and 1 believe
that her singing was a source OF great
delight to the people whose musical judg-
meut was worth considering.

1t seems that canvass has shown that
the great majority of the New Hamp.
shire volunteers prefer to endure the rigor
of New Hampshire winter in private
life than to remain in the army and bask
in the warm sunshine of Porto Rico.
Hence all the New Hampshire volunteers
are to be mustered out. 1t becomes more
evident daily that our youth don't take

A DANGEROUS RUNAWAY.

A dangerous runaway took place last
Friday. Mr.. r. II. Northcutt was
coming to town from his Knitting Fac
tory, driving his yellow horse to a
wagon. In the wagon with him was
his little child, Mr.. Ralph Northcutt, Il
negro man named Styles Hobbs, and a
negro boy. When near DR.. Stewards
house, on Kennesaw Avenue, the horse.
from some cause, plunged forward and
began to run at fearful rate of speed
All were pitched out Of the wagon ex-
cept Mr.. r. II. Northcutt and his little
child. He found himself in perilous
position, with the responsibility of
holding his child, and keeping the horse
in the middle of the street. Mr.. North
cult is fine driver, but the horse
seemed to have great strength. How
ever, he held him successfully and made
an abrupt turn at the Episcopal rec
tory and stopped the horse in front of
DR.. Cortelyou's residence on Church
street. All escaped injury except
Styles Hobbs, who had his spine hurt
and was otherwise bruised. He will
soon be al right.
