ILLUSTRATED SUPPLEMENT.
SUNDAY, JANUARY Is. 1899.

1t has recently been observed, in accents OF
dubiety, that the literature of the present age Is
getting to be more and more matter or jour-
nalism and fiction. Certainly vast amount Oh
energy goes to the making Of novels and news
papers, and the imaginative power, especially
OF this generation. seems to be pouring itself
most devotedly into the former. But there are
two facts to be noted In the first place, schol-
arship still has its chance. In spite Of Mr. Nuts
assertion to the contrary, and works like the
Late Master of Baliols plato" or Mr.. Frazers
"Pausanias," get themselves published, are
read and remembered. The numerical superb
ority of romances and periodicals need not blind
us to the number of histories and other serious
books published every year. Educational litera-
ture particularly is produced in enormous guam
titles. Furthermore. something may perhaps be
said for the hypothesis that the genius of the
time Is expressing itself just as naturally and
as inevitably in fiction and journalism as the
genius of the Elizabethans expressed itself in
poetry and drama. If ours is poor genius,
with none OF the seeds of Immortality, why so
much the worse for u.s. but that is beside the
point What is essential Is that men should
recognize, IL they can, the form or forms In
which they are destined to put forth their
thoughts. 1t would be very amusing il the his
torian of this century, writing a couple Of hun
tired years hence were to be driven TO the con-
cluslon that we failed in literature because we
hadn't the wit to use the forms best fitted to
our use, and even despsed them.
number of French writers, including many
standing in the front rank Of contemporary men
Of letters, have been contributing to a sympo-
Eaum on English literature. A curious predilec
ton for George Eliot runs through the series of
letters. 1t would be interesting to know just
what 1t is that appeals to the French in the
works Of this novelist. More in the company
mention Shakespeare. Apparently it is known
In Paris that Shakespeare is king Of our litera-
ture, and they praise him as the proper one to
be praised. But there is nothing to show that
English authors, old modern, are known to
the French authors Of to-day to any serious ex-
tent Sainte- Beuve and Taine were exceptional
students On the whole, French ignorance Of
the subject Is immense. Racial traits have
something to do with it. The educational sys-
tenn of France also assists That system Is
marvellously systematic but its very rigidity
kills the desire in the youth for intellectual ad-
ventures across the Channel. He and all his
comrades study exactly the same things in the
same way with the same object. The result Is
sometimes tragic, rs M. Barres has shown in
his studies of the ill-equpped young men Of
France.

Mr. Lang's rebuke Of the log rollers. which
for 1t scOurges them with the rod of ridicuIe,
the best rod of all for the purpose; but there is
not the slightest reason for hoping that it will
really accomplish anything The log-roller is
pachydermatOus, and his most conspicuous trait
Is a bland, complacent assumption Of perfect
rectitude and impartalty. He thinks, bless his
soul, that he Is doing public service when he
Is lauding some worthless writer who is his
friend, or who has been taken up by the par
tcular clique which he affects. The word goes
forth from some one Of the leaders that Reg-
maid Perwinke's new book Is to be a master
piece. The log-rollcrs fall in line They never
met Periwinkle, but has he not been certified by
"A Man of Kent" or some such commander Of
thought? The new book Is straightway hailed
as a priceless BOOM and to accuse the chorus of
booming trash is to bring down scorn upon ones
head. I'VE spurn the accusation. We never
lOg-rOlled in all our histOryr they declare and
we find them righteOusly sympathizing with Mr.
Lang, insisting that they like nothing better
than to Quench the rIshllght of literature which
THE base log-rollcrs'' are trying to fan into n
torch. We have encountered virtuous dsclaim-
ers of this sort in literary journals that reeked
of log-rolling. The calm insOlence OF 1t Is as
funny as it is fatuous, and one would think the
pretenders to impartiality would blush for their
efrontery. But there are always some readers
who will be taken in by their little scheme. and,
as we have said. Mr.. Lang might as well have
saved his breath, so far as practical results are
concerned

BASKET BALL.

The Normal School basket ball
team continued in its victorious way
Monday night by defeating the Wy
oming Seminary boys in one sided
game, by score of Sc to 10. They
started out like winners throwing a
basket in few seconds after the ball
had been put in play. and during the
entire game their great superiority was
manifested. The visiting team was
lamentably weak at every point, and
it was only question of how large
the score would be.
From a scientific standpoint, the
battle was good, only one foul being
made, and that by Seminary player.
The whole Normal team played good
ball, but perhaps McGuffie, Lewis and
Clayberger are entitled to little extra
credit, because their basket throwing
was gilt edged, and their work during
the whole evening was such as to call
forth continued applause from tine
audience, which by the way, was a
large one, Notwithstanding the fact
that the thermometer lowered around
the zero mark. and the drifting snow
made il disagreeable to be out. The

Exceptions Dismissed.

c. c. Yetter was nominated for
Justice of the Peace in this town, by
the Republican caucus. r. H. Ring
Ter filed nomination papers for the
same Office seventeen days before the
election. Mr. Yetter filed objections
to Mr.. Ringler's papers, on the ground
that the Office of Justice of the Peace
is state Office, and therefore, his pa
pers must be filed 2S days before the
election. In lengthy opinion, filed
on Monday, Judge Little dismissed
the objections, and Mr.. Ringler's name
will, therefore, be printed on the bal
lots. The Judge does not decide
whether Justice is a state, or county,
or township officer, but he rules the
question on the ground that as JUS
tices are elected at the same time as
all township officers, that 1t is subject
to the same rules as township officers,
so far as nomination and election
goes. Judge Bechtel, of Schuylkill
county, has decided differently, but
we are inclined to the belief that
Judge Little is right.

LIFE ON ISLAND OF ST. HELENA
Inhabitants Happy aud con,ented and

Inhabitants Happy aud Contcnted aud
Crime Almost Unknown.
From the New York Times: Few
people ever think OF 81. Helena except
as rock In the sea on which Napoleon
lived a while miserably and then more
miserably died. That the greatest OF
anu-clima1es was not the end OF the
little Islands history Is hard to realize.
possibly because a poet or romancer
would have made II the end, and
continuation Is therefore more or less
unnatural and absurd. BE that as It
may, 81. Helena has remained the abld-
Ing place OF ordinary human beings
who concern themselves very little
about the colossal ghost generally sup
posed TO he the iAland'a only inhahi-
s~st. sna the report to the Enriinh
government Just made by. their gov
ernor shows that they have Joys ana
sorrows exactly like those OF the folks
dwelling In places less tragicnlly ia

the island last year were e9.152. de-
ctdedly comfortable sum. but alasl the
expenditures amounted 10 c12,3l9. and
that IA an excess OF outgo not comfort
able at all. The governor says. how
ever. that the bad balance was due to
some extraordinary drains upon the
Islands resources. and that he anticl-
pates a substantial surplus for the cur
rent year. A recent increase OF the
garrison ana extensive improvements
now making by the colonial and i'm
perial authorities assure the lmme-
diate prosperity OF the islanders 81.
