road, but how jubilant would be his
| feelings if he could be certain that
the same increase would hold for all
future years! 1t is precisely that diff
ference which makes the rise in
wages more important than evidences
of present expansion in business. The
business of future years depends upon
the amount which the wage earning
millions have to expend. Some do
not spend all they earn, and they
would also save if wages were lower.
Some waste, but their waste,
may help the growers of barley
and hops, rye, corn and tobac-
co. The volume of purchases from the
farms, the factories and the mines
must of necessity depend closely upon
the amount of earnings which the
wage earning population as a body
has to expend.
1t is stated that the advance this
month may affect 100, 900 hands. This
is only small fraction of the whole
working force, and if the change
meant merely that in sundry towns
and villages about $6,500,0 600 a year
was added to the sum which wage
earners have to cxpend that would
scarcely be an event of great national
Importance But the influence of
every considerable advance upon the
the wages paid in the same industry
at other points and upon the wages
paid in many kindred industries at all
points, is great almost beyond calcu
lation. If the cotton mills at Fall River
or other points where competition
has been sharpest can now pay the
higher wages voluntarily given,
workers in such mills throughout the
country will be prompted to ask what
they can now earn, and employees
will find it harder for them to refuse
some advance. In other textile works
the question will be raised whether
the measure of improvement in bust
ness shown by the great Eastern
mills, which were peculiarly embar-
rased a year ago, does not warrant
some rise in wages. Thus, no one can
tell how many hands in various in
dustries throughout the country will
that the action of comparatively a
few Eastern mills has opened the way
to higher wages for them.-Nea1 York

for what those of us who speak Eng

dirt where dirt was not an essential
element of his narrative. Dirty many
of these tales WERE no doubt, but many
of them were not. He never went out
of his way to offend, as not a few of his
conpatriots seem to enjoy doing. He
handled whatever subject he took with
the same absolute understanding of its
value, of the precise treatment best
suited to it. If it was a dirty theme he
had chosen-and he had no prejudice
against such a theme-he did whatever
was needful to get the most out of his
subject. If it was not a dirty theme,
then there was never any touch of the
tar brush. When Mr.. Jonathan Sturges
came to select out of all MauDassant's
work the exquisite tales which he
translated most ,skillfully, and to which
he gave the title of THE Odd NUMBER -
he had not to omit or modify or to at
tenuate single word in all the thir-
teen.
These earlier tales also were not a
little hard and stern and unsympathet-
ic-and here again Maupassant was the
disciple of Flaubert. They were cold
and they were contemptuous-atl least,

is to 90. 1t will be the first exhibit ever
held of the various products of that
county, and because Of drouth and
other unfavorable conditions it is feared
that the showing may be inferior to
what might reasonably have been ex-
pected in q year when the seasons had
been more propitioos. Yet the. board of
directors, having set their faces in the
right direction, decline to turn back.
They propose to have the fair-a deci-
sion that doubtless has pleased the peo-
pie of Washington and surrounding
counties Great good will undoubtedly
flow from it. The Herald has received
a copy of the premium list, published
gratis by the ST George News. which
is neat piece of typographical work.
besides being a creditable way of show
ing that the newspaper is the best
friend of the community always.

FOREIGN DIPLOMACY.

The New York Tribune was given a
lesson in British diplomacy the other
day when d member of parliament,
Jesse Ceilings, parliamentary secretary
OF commerce., came ashore from the
good ship Campania as the first step in
pleasure tour of the United States.
reporter undertook to interview the
distinguished visitor for Mr. Reds
newspaper, and this is the result:
Asked if there would be a war between
ENGLAND ana the Beers, he replied: You
are in better position to know about
this than / am, for / have not heard
from home for several days. In order
to speak more authoritatively on this
matter l must first see what has been
done since 1 have been away
The next question was for his opinion
of our Philippine affair. This is his an
swer: 1T is foolish for an Englishman
to say anything about that matter. That
is for the people of this country to an
swer. 1t is like every other question
you have here. No foreigner can speak
on the matter with any force, for he is
not in a position to make his opinion
worth stating"
Then the all-pervading silver issue
was preached, and the willy foreigners
response was fully as satisfactory as it
had been to the other heterogeneous:
You people have had good deal to do
with the silver question. The great sill
yer question now is, who shall have the
silver cup? think you have had it long
enough here. Wouldn't it be good
thing if you let it go just for once?'
The reporter was certainly entitled to
all the satisfaction he got out of Mr.
Ceilings, NJ. p. On the leading topics of
current interest. But the interview was
printed in the New York newspaper
with all seriousness. as if new light had
been shed on a darkened world.
President Mckinley should cultivate
Mr.. Ceilings and study we'll his style
before making another declaration of
Philippine policy. Mr.. Ceilings ambi
guilty is a trifle more opaque and con-
siderably smoother than is that of Mr.
Mckinley.

GENIUS IN DIPLOMACY.

It's all off. Hostilities may be ex-
'pected to cease around Manila most
any day now. Otis and his typewriter
may once mere report the situation
well in hand. This happy ending of a
grave complication is foreshadowed in
dispatches that may have escaped the
common eye but are none the less por-
tentious for their seeming insignifi-
canoe. The careful reader of yester-
days papers noted that Lieutenant
Peterson of the Fourth cavalry had
organized a company of Maccabee

SUPERINTENDENT.

The imperiaIist press refers to the
Hon d. H. Peery of Ogden as an ex-
pansionist and quotes from him
strong protest against the policy OF
forcible annexation. Everybody be-
lieves that order should be restored
in the Philippines although some have
one plan and some have another. Some,
like Funston, believe a little common
sense and diplomacy would end the
war and make friends of the Filipinos.
Others, like Bryan, believe the war
should be pushed with energy, the re-
bellion suppressed and the natives set
up in government under the tenn
porary protection of the United States
To this latter view Mr.. Peery inclines.
He says we ought Ito whip those fell
lows and do it quick He is opposed
to continuance of the desultory
slaughter that has been pursued. But
here is where Mr.. Peery differs from
the imperialists. After the rebellion is
put down he wants to let the Filipinos
form a government of their own I'M

This living realism is absolutely pure
with Guy de. Maupassant. He was
rarely even tempted toward the study
and description of what are. called the
upper classes. or by the luxury which
fascinated Balzac. His prediction for
ordinary scenes and ordinary types is
everywhere EVIDENT; he uses all kinds
-of settingEa cafe, a furnished room, a
farmyard, seen in their actual charac-
ter without poetic TRANSPORTATION, with
all their vulgarity, their poverty, their
ugliness. And he uses, too, all kinds
Of characters-clerks, peasants Of Nor
mandy, petty bourgeois Of Paris and
of the country. They live the empty,
tragic or gTotesque hours of their lives;
are sometimes touching, sometimes
odious, and never achieve greatness
either in heroism or in wickedness.
They are not gay, these stories; and
the kind of amusement they afford is
strongly mixed with irony, pity and
contempt. Gayety, whether brutal,
frank, mocking or delicate, never leaves
this bitter taste in the heart. How
pitiful in its folly, in its vanity, in it's
weakness, is the humanity which loves,
weepS or agitates in the tales of Maui
PEASANT! There virtue, if awkward, is
never recompensed: nor vice, if skill
full, punished; mothers are not always
saints, nor sons always grateful and
respectful; the guilty are often ignorant
of reTnorse. Then are these beings i'm
moral? To tell the truth, they are
guided by their instincts. by events,
Submissive to the laws of necessity and
apparently released by the author from
all onsibility.-Firmin Roz.

SILVER TO THE FORE.

The New York Commercial Advertiser
says that the Democrats of Ohio made
a grave mistake by placing national is
sues before state issues in a purely
state campaign. This is bad politics,
according to the New York organ of the
administration, whose solicitude for
Democracy is as amusing as it is suspi-
cious.
1t says: when the Ohio Democrats
gave free silver the place of prominence
in their state platform and reafIirmed
the financial plank of the Chicago plat
form with emphasis, they relegated
state issues to the rear" And it adds,
in most regretful tone: by this ac-
ton they virtually declared that if Nc
Lean is elected he viii use all the power
and patronage of the Office of governor
to build up a free silver machine in
Ohio, and thus strengthen the cause of
cheap money in the country at large"
Goldbug journalists are worried be-
cause silver refused to stay dead, not
withstanding the hundreds of mortal
wounds they have given it, if their
Falstaffian stories are to be received in
evidence. But the Commercial Adver-
tiser realizes that the issue is very much
alive, in fact, that wherever Democracy
exists there the free coinage idea pre-
walls; and. instead of being surprised at
the action of Ohio Democracy, it says:
.'This is what free silver Democrats
have done in every state where they
have gained control of affairs
This is the admission of every honest
goldbug newspaper in the east. and it
is only denied by those who have an OBJ
iect in trying to deceive their readers.

that Guerin's interest in creeds and
