The true power of Dickens lies He is

The Man and His Work.
Few writer's of our century have put
more of themselves into their work
than did Charles Dickens. Not only
did he use his own observations and
experience, make free with the charac-
ters OF his friends, introduce even his
own parents in more or less ridiculous
roles. but his whole work. from the
sketches" to Edwin brood" is an
embodiment and expression Of himself.
He actually proposed at one time as
the title of a periodical he was plan
ming. Charles Dickens, Conducted by
Himself" and this title might be given
to the whole body of his work. Ger

IMPERIALISM OF GOLD.

at Indianapolis, addressed a large
audience on imperialism.
But his opposition to empire, his
fight for the republic and the eonstitu-

be construed by any honest man to
mean an abandonment of the sacred
principle of bimetallism.
The general said further;

TO PREVENT 0EADLOCKs.

The senate committee on privileges
and elections has reported adversely
on the Joint resolution providing for the
election of United States senators by
the people. There seems to be no like
lhood of the present congress permit
ting this question to so to the various
state legislatures. The senate is jeal-
Gus of its traditions and the senators
are not disposed to relinquish their op-
portuniGes.
But the Democratic idea is to refer
81 candidates. to.the people, to submit
every ticket TO a popular vote. The
present method of choosing senators
was a concession TO the Hamilton
school OF statesmen. who had less con-
ddence in the masses than had Jeifer-
son.
The strongest argument advanced IN
favor of a change is found in the dead
locks. contested seats, vacancies and
Matchmaking fights which are incident

a state legislature, instead Of requiring
