Hugo, Balzac, Dumas, George Sand,
Sainte-B eauve, Flaubert, Maupass2nt,
Daudet and lola, have all been those
of story writer's, although, of course,
Sainte-B euve found his true fame as
critic of imaginative literature rather
than as an original writer.
The achievement of the century in
poetry, however, is not inconsiderable.
Besides Hugo, who. taking everything
into account, is undoubtedly Frances
greatest poet, there were De Vigny,
Musset and Gautier, all poets of high
rank and of great influence upon the
intellectual development of their time.
Beranger (17S0-1S57) belongs to no
school, and yet he formed a sort of
connecting link between the classicists
and the romanticists. His songs We're
never favorites of those in the higher
ranks of life. He was always getting
into trouble with the powers that be,
both political and religious. He has
been called the Burns of France, but
the name is not wholly applicable.
Burns was essentially a poet of person
al passion, whereas Beranger's forte
seemed to be the giving expression to
what may be called the lyrical feelings
of others. But like Burns, though, he
framed his composition in strict ac-
cordance with the conventions of the
classic age. Beranger was a perfect
master of his art and his songs liter
ally sung themselves into popularity

whether coin or paper. at the present
standard. the standard of the most en-
lightened nations Of the world
Since that resolution was adopted at
the last national convention of the
party, the party has spoken through
its representatives in congress, through
its general caucus at Atlantic City and
through its acknowledged organs, re-
affirming the gold standard declaration,
rejecting the international agreement
plan as hopeless. proposing further leg
islation in the interest of the single
standard. and openly avowing its pur-
pose of fastening gold recommendation
securely and permanently, if possible,
upon the republic.
Last year a national convention, of
the League of Republican Clubs from
all over the United States. an associa-
ton embracing the Republican clubs Of
Utah, was held at Omaha The st.
Louis platform was reaffirmed and the
financial policy of the party made so
plain that he who runs may read. 1--WE
are uncompromisingly in favor of the
maintenance Of the single gold stand
ard, - was one of the resolutions unani-
mously adopted at that convention. And
then, as if fearful that the position of
the party in relation to silver would be
misunderstood. it added this further
resolution: 1--WE are unqualifiedly OPP
posed to the free and unlimited coinage
Of silver, and we reaffirm the ST. Louis
platform on this subject
These are the last official declara-
tons of the party. They explain its
present financial attitude fairly well,
except that there isn't Republican of
any kind any more who believes in
making an attempt to secure interna-
tienal binetallisun. Even the Salt Lake
Tribune has abandoned that make
shift, and it now agrees with the lead
ers and organs of it's party generally
that Independent bimetallism would
flood this country with cheap money
and ruin everybody in less than six
months from the time of its adoption.
This illustrates pretty well where the
Republican organization stands today,
and indicates what public inducements
are being offered to induce silver men
who renowned it three years ago to re-
turn to the fold. The private induce
ments are matters of which we know
not

for the reception of the really social
istic novels or, rather the social
novels of a greater genius 1t may
well be believed that part of the extra
ordinary success that Hugo's Les Mis-
CRADLES" and THE Toilers OF the Sea-"
achieved was due to the preparatory
work of Sue. Sue nowadays is chiefly
remembered for his Mysteries of Par

1S45). He had too many defects to be
a really great writer Among these
were his prolixity, his lack of vivacity
his lack of dramatic intensity and his
lack of charm and style as writer
But some of his characters were crea-
tions of great power and are of endur-
ing vitality.
The two writer's of novels of incident
next to be mentioned have won consid-
cradle reputation outside of France.

AUTOMOBILE LITIGATION.

Automobiles are having to fight their
way step by step just as the bicycles
did. If they achieve as much popular
ity as a result of the opposition shown
them. florsciess vehicles will be so thick
on the streets and roads that the poor
old horse will have to learn to climb
trees TO keep out of their way.
Park commissioners have locked
them out, to have the lock broken by
have had them barred from the boule-
wards, but the men who introduce the
automobile fad are necessarily men of
means and they have fought their case
to a finish. 1t has been decided that
these are vehicles entitled to all the
privileges of other vehicles, and that,
if they are used where racing is all
lowed. they must be kept out of the
way of the horses The owner of the
new device opened the throttle a little
wider and demonstrated to the entire
satisfaction of the court that he could

sters and never turn a hair"
But a new danger has arisen; an
ether point is TO be determined by the
courts. The owner of an automobile
was sued in an eastern city the other
day by a driver of horses. who alleged
and proved that the oddly of a We

an ass, or even a Shetland pony, so
worked upon the superstitious nature

considerable damage to itself, the We

being of the old school. evidently, de-
eided that the automobile was guilty
as charged and that its owner should
pay all damages resulting from the
runaway This, in view of the others,
is an unjust decision. If man be al
lowed to take his vehicle upon the
streets he shouldn't be held RESPONSE
BILE for the capers of an animal that
views the innovation as threat. If
the courts say that the automobile has
a right to pass along the street, its
owner cannot rightfully be made to pay
for the passing of the horse"
An endless amount of litigation is in
prospect if every accident due to run
away horse taking fright in this way
is to be held actionable.

BESIDES, 1T CAN'T BE DONE.

California is a great state 1t has a
fine climate, so fine that it can't be cor
rupted 1t has air. pure air. and so
much of it that we question if all the
sick people of the United States could
pollute it. And vet the state board of
health of California has passed a reso-
luton. advocating the exclusion of con-
sumptives from the state.
What is the matter? Is our sister
state so jealous of her death rate that
she would forbid people who think they
are going to die from entering her do
main? That is folly. The average con-
sumptive outlives most of the compan-
ions of his youth; and when he gets a
Whit of ozone from the balsam-spread
Sierras he lives longer than anybody.
Or is it a fact that California is rich
enough to retire from business and
doesn't care to bother any longer with
the patronage that has poured a con-
tinual stream of jingling coin into her
bullying pockets for a quarter of a CEN
fury? Consumptives have sought out
almost all the delightful spots in Cali
fornia; they have taken fortunes there
and expended them in building up and
beautifying the state; under the brae-
ing influence of the climate genius has
shaken off disease and has contributed
to the best work of art and literature.
The afflicted go and come; they talk
about the beauties of the state; they
advertise it all over the world; and for
California to close its doors upon them
would be as if a hotel should refuse to
entertain its best customers any more.
1t would be ruin as well as ingratitude.

cultivation of character, ETC., have had
scarcely less consideration.
A contemporary of Comics, Victor
Cousin Q792-1S6S) was also philoso-
pher of great note and irfiuence. But
Cousins philosophy was eclectic rather
than original, and, being founded on
no more solid basis than his own opin-
ion, it has not retained its hold upon
the thought of mankind.
Ernest Renan (1S23-1S92) may also be
classed as a philosopher. But Renan' 5
philosophy was not constructive, and
by the world in general he is held to
be a critic rather than a philosopher.
and rightfully so. Possessing style

ing that has ever been devoted to Sc

cised great influence in the field of in

Returning to the field Of imaginative
prose literature, Henri Boyle should be
mentioned Q7S3-1S42), who wrote under
the name of De Stendhal. He gave by

period whose essential characteristics

ing, fidelity. Their best known works
are Madame Therese" (1S63) and THE

The last writer of this class that We
shall mention is Emile Gaboriau CS35-
1S74G the introducer, into France, if not
tective novel;" But it is only for his
merit in this one phase or art that Ga
boriau deserves mention Neither as
an artist in words nor as a portrayer
of character has he any merit what
ever. But his popularity for his own
genre was considerable.
Coming now to the writers of novels
of character the first one that claims
notice is Jules Sandeau (1S11-1SS3),

name, indeed Ga pen name), Sand. is
an abbreviation of his. Though not q

theless a popular writer, especially with
women. His tone is pure; his senti-

his stories are exceedingly we'll con-

The next novelist of character" to
be mentioned, Octave Feuillet QS21-
1900, was a writer of much greater
power and fame, and, indeed, so far as
popularity went in the period of his
greatest activity-that of the second
empire--he was one Of the most sue
cessful writers of his time. Feuillet was
in his way romanticist with an eye
for fine effects, and he delighted in de-
picting the life and manners of men and
women of rank and fashion. In his
method of art, too, he was an idealist.
He did not concern himself with ordin-
airy duties and obligations of life.
A very different parsonage in every
way, both in his life and in his art, was
Henry Murger (1S22-1SS1). Murger now
is principally remembered for his Life
in Bohemia" an account at once pa
thetic and humorous of that peculiar
life so characteristic of Paris. 1t is to
this book of Murger's that the words
bohemia" and bohemian" as a term
of social significance owe their origin.

STRIKE OUT THE HYPHEN.

Senator Cannon has done what every
loyal friend OF silver eventually must
Go. He has proclaimed his intention
to join the Democratic party. What
else can a silver man do2 Where else
can ne turn? over a year ago the sill
yer Republicans OF Utah spoke the
sentiments of silver men everywhere
when they said in a patriotic address
to the people;
I'VE point to the fact that the ma
tional Republican party Of the United
States has abandoned the cause of
bimetallism. and that local adherence
10 the national Republican organization
is affiliating with gold monometallism,
and oppression of the people"
Those sentiments were applauded by
every silver Republican in the state
OF Utah last year. They express a
truth more apparent this year than
ever Whoever gives local support to
a goldbug organization has no right to
call himself a silver man. He is a
pretender, a hypocrite, a deceiver if
he does. The time has gone by for
flying false colors. They no longer de-
ceive anybody but the one who flies
them. There is nothing in the name
Republican" for any loyal silver man
TO cling to. The Republican party has
made its supreme test of allegiance a
belief in the gold standard, and all it's
other articles of faith are dependent
upon this one. Its other doctrines are
taught by those who view all things
through the monocle of gold. In this
new Republicanism, or Rannaism, as
the gentleman from Weber county
puts ii, there is nothing untouched by
avarice. unwashed with gold. And so
he says, as must every man who be-
lieves in the restoration of silver, who
hopes for the rescue of the people from
the grasp OF greed and monopoly and
militarism and imperialism-the four
long arms of Republicanism: Il
detest Republicanism.'
Al the course of his speech at Ogden
the other night the ex-senator said:
There are whisperings among the
people that silver is dead, and that
Mr.. Bryan has changed the issues. No;
the leaders Of all the great political
parties said six years ago that the
financial trust is the mother of all
trusts. Mr. Bryan sought to kill the
mother of trusts before the viper gave
birth 10 the brood of trusts. Now he
IS attacking the whole brood along
with the mother serpent"
Separate organizations among silver
men were maintained, he said, "to test
the sincerity and steadfastness Of the
Democratic party. Evidently they
are satisfied with the test. The Demo-
cratic party is more pronounced in
favor of independent bimetallism than
ever 1t has proved the truth of its
claim that it is the party of the peo-
pie. There is no longer any excuse for
voters who believe in the people, in
their money, in their cause, remaining
away from the Democratic organiza-
ton. They should come in as the ex-
senator from ogden has come in.
Fusion is confusion in politics. Let US
do away with this endless trading and
faction bi.ilding and choose our par
ties with something a little higher in
view than The ACKNOWLEDGMENT of some
individual. Be fish. flesh or fowl. Be

STILL STANDING FOR GOLD.

"IIas the Republican party changed
its attitude on the silver question:"
asks a correspondent. What is its
present position and what inducements
has il held out for silver men to return

IL the attitude of the Republican
party has changed at all on financial
issues since the campaign of 1896, it is
10 take more radical stand in the in
terest Of the single gold standard. Three
years ago the St. Louis convention did
offer some Inducements to silver men.
Its leaders have since confessed that
they were subterfuges and that they
have been cast aside. Chairman Hanna
has evidently concluded there is a
more practical way Of reaching those

like Falstaff's valor, was ever too loud
